“You could have humored me Addy. How ironic would it be for a bar manager to not actually be that big of a fan of alcohol?” Nellie had met the fellow blonde a few months ago and thoroughly enjoyed the quick and witty spirit from Chicago. “ Well if you want whiskey I’ve got Jack, Evan, and Elijah. As for my favorite white, Sauvignon Blanc is the winner of course,” she smiled as she stood behind her island with the various drinks on display. “Your choice my friend. And what shall we be cheering to?”

Addy chuckled. “Yeah, you might meet one of those one day, but I’m afraid that’s not me. I’m the bar manager that is too much of a fan of alcohol,” she admitted, a little shame showing in her tone. “You said you’ve got Jack, so that’s my choice. I’m simple. And what shall we cheer to...? I’m awful at coming up with this stuff. Happiness? Love? Life? The new year?”

“Wow. No one deserves that, least of all you.” He would have never passed it by Scott to do something so low as to possibly play both women in such a way. Gray had gotten to know Scott’s wife from a few occasions in the past and had thought their marriage and relationship with unscathed. Little did he know Addy was being screwed on the side as well, both figuratively and literally. “You know he’s in town right? I saw him the other day. Want me to kick his ass for you? I’d be happy to do so.”

“Yeah, it’s pretty messed up. That’s why I left Chicago, though. I just couldn’t stand to be there anymore after all of that,” she shook her head. At the time, she was just mad mostly that she’d lost the job that she’d felt most at home doing. The feelings for Scott had been pushed to the very back of her mind upon finding out about his wife, and for good reason. “I know he’s in town, yeah. He, uh, he came into the bar, told me he’s here to win me back, so that’s fun. But please, go ahead with the ass kicking. And get someone to record it for video evidence for me.”

maya looks over at addy with a lot of gratitude in her eyes before she gives her another smile and nods. “i know, but i guess there’s a part of me that just feels guilty for laying all of my crap on the table.” she murmured before nodding at her words and waiting for her to continue a little bit more about this mystery man from new year’s eve. “well–that sounds fun, and besides, if he was good company, clearly he’s a keeper.” with a smile, she heard her words about him being with her when she was stranded as well and raised her eyebrow. “wait, you’d told me noah was with you when you were stranded, who else is this gentleman vying for your attention that time?”

“Well, you shouldn’t feel guilty. We’re friends, and I’m glad that you trust me enough to lay all of your crap out on the table and talk to me about it,” she smiled. Addy had honestly never really had a friend she could do that with– she’d had good friends before, but none that reached the level that she and Maya had reached. “I mean, that’s one of the most important things, right? He can’t be boring as hell, and he certainly isn’t that, so we’re good so far,” she chuckled. “Noah was there, too, but Fin was in the bar as well. Honestly, my attention that night was on two things – not freaking out and Noah. He didn’t stand a chance back then. Clearly things have changed.”

logan slide into a chair by the bar, elbows already pressed into the wood as he leaned over. “ugh, you again?” he flashed her a grin and tapped his fingers against the bar absently. “someone said they hired better staff around here, but clearly my intel’s been fucked.”

Addy grinned at the sound of Logan’s voice and turned to face him, raising an eyebrow in mock offense at his words. “Maybe you should complain to the manager, then. I hear she’s really good at getting shit done, including getting rid of rude customers,” she hummed, trying to hide her grin.

she hugged the other back before shaking her head. “i’m so sorry addy, you came over to talk about your things and i selfishly brought it onto myself.” she laughed quietly before sighing and looking back at the other woman with a happy smile. “so tell me, the guy from new year’s eve, was it the alcohol haze that made you take him home or something more? hmmm?”

“No, you stop that– I came over here to tell you about my problems, there’s nothing in the rules that says you can’t do the same. You’re not being selfish at all,” she assured her. Honestly, she was glad that Maya trusted her enough to tell her the things she’d just told her. She hadn’t had a friend like Maya in so long. “I mean... a bit of both, I think? He was actually stuck in the bar with me during the avalanche, and he tried to get me to sleep with him then and I rejected him, so maybe it was the alcohol and the fact that I just decided to go for it after the avalanche and the fact that he was kind of good company before we went home.”

Nellie was always happy to host people over for a little get together. She’d been out in Jackson for the past two weeks, so here was her attempt to catch up with her friends and the wandering souls she’s met along the way. “In a mood for a drink? What can I get you? Alcoholic, non-alcoholic? I have pretty much everything here,” she asked the other as they walked into her kitchen.

Addy nodded instantly at Nellie’s words. “When am I not in the mood for a drink, honey?” She chuckled, following her into her kitchen. “If you’ve got whiskey, I’ll take some of that. Otherwise... your favorite white wine.”

she smiled at the other before nodding, wishing that she could go back four and half years and change everything around. maybe if she’d never told erik, none of this would’ve happened. but now she just looked back at the other before nodding. “i just hope–things work out, because i am a little scared, even though i know that i have a lot of things in my favour.. it’s hard not to worry.”

Addy sighed. She hated seeing that Maya was stressed about this– and honestly, her boy problems were nothing compared to the stress of this for Maya. Without another moments hesitation, Addy pulled Maya into another hug. “I’ve got my fingers crossed for you, and I’m sure I’m not the only one,” she hummed. “It’s going to work out just fine, I know it will. And you won’t lose her.”

“you better have, i can’t believe he lied to you like that.” she said with a laugh, she was just so happy addy wasn’t mad at her. “are you gonna do it? go on a proper date with a nineteen year old?”

“I honestly can’t believe it either. But he put up a good argument when I yelled at him about it, so I can’t really blame him,” she shrugged. “I mean– yeah, I am. I said I’d go, and he’d organizing it and everything. I haven’t even been asked on a date in months, so I couldn’t reject the offer and I’m actually kind of looking forward to it.”

I gravitate towards monochromes. I always sort of either wear white or black or cream. I really like wearing colorful things as well, but I’m a sucker for cream-colored.

“Yea we got pretty lucky as far as boarding school kids go, I mean we live - or I did live even, in dorms during the week but then I could go home to the house that was literally a minute away on weekends and so could they. Some of my friends didn’t get to see their siblings or their parents for months at a time.” Looking back at Addy he gave a soft smile, his hand reaching out for her own. “I’m sure if you ever really needed him he’d be there - and if there was someone that didn’t want to be in your life well then that was his loss.” He may have only been 19 but Finley couldn’t imagine having a kid and not wanting to be a part of it’s life, it was why as much as he slept around he always made sure he was careful, there wouldn’t be any kid out there that belonged to him and didn’t think he love them. His smirk grew as she confirmed that she had already told her friends. “So much for keeping it a secret, I haven’t told one person - I mean I told people, but not your name or anything, I didn’t want to go back on what I had already said.” He shrugged a little. “But yea we matter - and we tango in the most amazing way so I’m sure that we will be just fine even with the eight years you’ve got on me.” He smirked playfully as he pulled his eyes from her and to where the sun was due to rise. “It’s coming up.” He hummed softly. “You warm enough?”

“Boarding school kids? You just keep getting even fancier. I saw my family every day, much to the dismay of my teenage self,” she grinned. When he reached out and took her hand, she smiled in return, happily taking it. “Truth is, I don’t even know if he wanted to be in my life. It was my mom’s decision not to tell him about me. But I’m not mad about it anymore. It’s too late for that.” She still thought about it some nights, though. About what it would be like to have had him in her life– a real, proper father. She’d always want that for any possible future kids. A father that would be there through it all. She didn’t get it for herself, but it’s what she wanted for them. If they would even ever exist. “I’m pretty sure you mentioned something about me going to a wine night with my girls and bragging about you, actually. And while I didn’t do that exactly, they’re well aware of your existence and how much I enjoyed our so called tango,” she chuckled. She’d had to tell someone, and Maya and Arizona were her best friends, so they got the details. “Have you just got a million age jokes stored up there in your brain for you to pull out every now and then, Fin? Because I can definitely come up with some of my own if you do,” she grinned and shuffled a little closer towards him as her eyes moved towards where the sun was starting to rise. She gave his hand a squeeze and nodded. “Yeah, I’m warm enough now. Are you?”

roscoe pursed his lips and thought about it. he hadn’t been on a date in such a long time, he was having a bunch of crushes … especially on the guy’s that would come to the bar occasionally, but he wasn’t about to tell addy that, and he couldn’t remember the last time he got laid. he’d just sold his car to get himself a new one, and he was thinking of getting his own apartment. “honestly, nothing interesting.” he chuckled, “you’ve probably been up to more exciting things than i have.”

Addy raised an eyebrow. “Oh, I’m sure you have interesting things going on. You’re just being secretive,” she hummed. She knew that Roscoe must have some interesting things going on in his life, but she wasn’t one to push with those sort of things so, instead, she shrugged. “If you won’t spill the beans to me, then, I suppose I’ll have to admit to you that I have had an exciting time lately. Got myself a date and everything.”

“Probably, I mean it’s funny cause the other lower year kids used to drive me insane and then I’d actually volunteer to hang out with my siblings even though they were the very same annoying age.” Finley chuckled, most kids drove him nuts but there were the odd ones that were alright to hang out with so long as he got to give them back at some point. “Your brothers are they your step-dads kids?” He asked as he looked across at her for a moment. “I’m sure he’d care really - and well if your mom cared she would clearly have missed the entire point of how charming, good looking and amazing in bed I am…..you really don’t mind though? I mean you’d tell your friends that I was nineteen?” Finley questioned his voice quieter, not that he had been shouting anyway, they were alone on the side of a mountain, it was pretty quiet out here. “Oh I plan to, this is just the first date, who knows were it goes from here.” His gaze changed from serious to mischievous in a moment and he shook his head. “I kept you up! You’re the one that kept moaning for more, I was just delivering, and I don’t remember you ever protesting when I went back down on you there was no ‘oh god Finley no you can’t eat me out again’ was there?” He asked changing the pitch of his voice to mimic hers. “It did hurt, but only because I woke up with a head ache otherwise I’d have been fine and dandy.”

“I think it’s different when it’s your siblings, though. They’re both more and less tolerable because you spend so much time with them anyway. And yes, my brothers are my step-fathers and my moms kids. I don’t know who my dad is,” she shrugged. “I mean, part of me wishes I could say that he cares, but I’m pretty sure he’s just putting on an act with me when I’m around them. I was always the extra child on the side that just wasn’t a full blown member of their little family.” It was why she was always so good at being on her own. Addy nodded at his next words, though. “I minded at first, but now? I don’t think I do. And honestly, I’ve already told two of them. But what really matters is us, right?” Her friends had responded somewhat well to the fact that she’d slept with a nineteen year old, much to her surprise, and she was glad about it. “Oh, shut up! I don’t remember you ever deciding to stop either, Fin. I mean, it does take two to tango, and you seemed to be enjoying yourself quite a lot, so who was I to deny you that? And I don’t sound like that, either,” She laughed, shaking her head at him. She reached over and patted his head a little at his last words. “I’m not sorry for hitting you over the head, I’m just sorry that it hurt.”

maya looked back at addy when she spoke, almost wishing that her daughter could have been the same way. “i mean i told him because i’d believed he wanted to be a family with us..that we’d be happy.” with a sigh though, she looked back at her friend. “honestly, i just wish he’d have never shown up and i hadn’t run into him..” she looked back at addy and shrugged. “i’m sure it was, but it still just–doesn’t make matters any easier.” she admitted quietly and nodded at addy’s words. “i hope he understands it honestly, because i could tell him repeatedly but until he understands it–it won’t make a difference.”

“Don’t blame yourself for wishing that. It’s a reasonable wish, and honestly one that could have come true because it’s what you deserved, but the only one at blame here is him. He’s the one that said no, not you, and that has to mean something,” Addy assured her. “Yeah, I get that. Not running into him would have certainly made things a little simpler. But you’re right. He needs to understand that, and he’s a grown man. He should.”

“deal, it’s always smart to have a back up plan, right?” she joked, though she’d be devastated if that ever happened, nevara wasn’t the type to be very negative. “i’ll probably almost wish i was there too, though nothing beats the high of soaring through the air while flipping on a board.” tricks were her life.

“Oh, for sure. You never know what could happen,” she agreed with a shrug. Even though she didn’t have a back up plan. To begin with, bartending had been her back-up plan, and truly she didn’t think she needed one now– she was the manager, after all. “I can understand you just a little with that. I’m not good at soaring through the air, anyway. I prefer to keep my board on the ground or I fall on my ass.”

arizona‌;

“he lied to you? rude.” arizona said with a laugh, she was sure that 19 was far too young. but after the over reaction about noah she was in no place to judge. “so are you going to keep seeing him then? because if it was good, you totally should.”

“I know, I know. It certainly was a little rude, and I did wake him up with a slap over the head when I realized it,” she chuckled at the memory. “I mean... I think so? He kind of asked me on a date. And I’m pretty sure he meant it as in a proper date.”
