Hale, Andrew Blue; " Son, you have an uncanny knack for discovering oddities. "

jourdan mulled over the options he was given, though he knew as well as anyone that the former would do them no good. if he didn’t have the means to BREAK INTO one, there was no way he’d see a cent from an atm machine. “ your place it is, ” he concluded brightly, and replying in the same nature when andrew seemed to go along with his bit. “ and that’s exactly what we’re doing, ‘s long as you’re up for it. AND if we can scrape together any more cash, of course.

the smirk drew wore never seemed to leave his face, but the corners twitched UP into a bit more of a smile as he led jourdan back to his ramshackle apartment. “’m always up for it, mate. figured you’d know that by now,” he shrugged as if silently saying ‘repeating history’ again. “i’ve got the cash. i just never carry it on me. makes my wallet too big in my pocket.”

“i guess the only difference is that coke is fun while caffeine is…” valeria trailed off for a moment, eyes moving to the cup he was handing to her. “dull.” she finished, nose scrunching. her eyes lit up at his offering and she nodded quickly. “sounds like a fair deal to me. now let’s go!” she sang before her voice dropped in volume and leaned closer, “this blunt isn’t going to smoke itself, you know,”

[andrcwx-blog]

‘it’s only ‘dull’ to people that’ve...” he paused, hunting for the right word, “experienced stronger drugs. there’s a difference between being weaker and being the weakest, you know?” they rounded the corner by the cafe. it wasn’t the most private spot, but the lack of traffic made it a decent spot to LIGHT up. he leaned against the wall and offered up a lighter with a nod.

jay sighed dramatically, letting his head fall into his hands, tired after a long day at his job. “i’m here all the time, shouldn’t you know my order by now ?? double americano, please.”

[andrcwx-blog]

drew’s eyes raked over the boy in front of him-- the exhaustion obvious-- before complying to the request. “you’re right,” he rose his voice over the bitter hum of the espresso machine, “poor customer service on my part. APOLOGIES.” there was an stale pause as he capped the drink, “but you look worse than i do, m a t e. everything alright?”

[pendvlums]

                        Vedetta was vocal, outspoken in her nature       despite the outraged looks on other’s faces, in response to her abrupt cussing.  ❝ Good thing I’m a HARD liquor drinker, then, ❞ she spoke, a grin on both her lips & in her w o r d s. Delight spread across the female’s face, hands clasped together in joy. ❝ Fuckin’ A !! ❞ another curse filled the air, laugher following. ❝ Nice apron. You look like some hipster douche, ❞ taking her arm off of the counter, she beckoned the employee over with an outstretched hand,  ❝ The first couple of rounds are on me. ❞

[andrcwx-blog]

drew looked down at the apron tied around his waist and promptly untied the flimsy cloth and threw it into a bin under the counter. he took off his nametag-- a constant reminder that he was but an object to customers, no better than a robot or a mop-- and stuck it to the mini fridge that the cafe kept milk in, and obeyed vee’s silent command. “wait... does that mean i’m getting E V E R Y other round?” he questioned as he held the door open for his friend.

“i think i might end up hiring a tall person to be that…” a short giggle escaped her lips. “we do use child safety locks… but we still have stuff on high shelves.”

[andrcwx-blog]

“Just give them an official title like assistant or something fancy like that.” his smile suggested he was kidding, but it wasn’t the worst idea he’d ever had, “but really, i get wishing to be TALLER, but there are solutions. step ladders, heels-   -even though i heard those were awful and probably not the best around children    tall assistants.. what i’m saying is; own your height. and this is coming from a guy that never quite hit six foot.”

“another one.” she said with a QUICK flash of her tongue, eyeing her current bartender. she was supposed to be in remission. the doctor was supposed to tell her she was getting better, not that the god damn cancer was s p r e a d i n g. she was supposed to be on her way home, and yet here she was DRINKING more alcohol then she should. the small thud of the shot glass being set in front of her pulled her out of her thoughts, and after downing the fifth (or was it sixth??) shot, she repeated the words she had been saying for the past twenty minutes – “another one.”

[andrcwx-blog]

there was a tradition of sorts that andrew upheld, going to the bar after particularly taxing days at work and ordering just enough beers to drown any internal questions he had about his decisions before stumbling home. currently, he was just drunk enough to strike up a conversation with the first person to catch his eye. it wasn’t a face that caught his attention though, but the voice that followed a familiar C L I N K of glass. “make it two,” he commanded, sliding down so there was just one seat separated him from the stranger.  

[lucaism-blog1]

a sense of hope BUBBLED inside jourdan as he watched the other male check for cash, but it was BURST just as soon. but as always, it wasn’t a defeat that took him particularly long to overcome. “ s’alright. that might put a damper in our plans for later, ” he half-joked, “ but money lending is an AGE-OLD practice. someone’ll come around ‘nd kick me some funds, for the sake of repeating history if nothing else. ”

[andrcwx-blog]

devastation was almost too strong a word to describe what andrew felt, but it was nothing like pity for his friend either. however, whenever he was posed with a problem he HAD to find a solution. “we could swing by an ATM or just run to my place,” he offered possible options with a shrug before backtracking a minute, “what exactly do you have planned for later? will we be ‘repeating history’ as well?”

“glad to know i’m special.” she said, tongue poking through teeth and her eyes wearing the expression of a girl who got away with this one too many times. with a surprising swiftness jill tipped the cup back to her mouth letting the mix of caffeine and alcohol assault her throat. 

[andrcwx-blog]

he quirked an eyebrow at the ease she she downed the drink, but didn’t say anything. “of course,” he nodded towards the bottle, the top of it just peaking out over the paper sack it was hidden in, “that’s usually how i make it through a shift. especially when it’s a double.. and it’s how I keep certain customers coming back.”

[pendvlums]

                         ❝ Guy had it c o m i n g. Taking so long to order his macchiato, ❞ a mock, supercilious twang in her voice. ❝ The FUCK is a macchiato, anyway ?? ❞ Hand petite & shoved in her pocket, she pulled out a couple of dollars from a rubber, elastic band, in apology, ❝ Looks like he left a tip. ❞ She’d just make it back, l a t e r.  ❝ Want to get a couple beers after your shift ?? ❞ He was good company, a close friend. ❝ Survivable. ❞

[andrcwx-blog]

drew laughed at her antics, “it’s all in how you pour the milk,” he answered what was probably a rhetorical question with his usual smirk splayed across his hips. “so when you go to a Starbucks or come here every drink you buy is just milk and espresso and occasionally flavor. the whole ‘coffee is overpriced’ stigma is ridiculously true.” he stopped his mini lesson to announce that the macchiato was ready for pick up before answering her last question, “anywho, i could go for a beer or two. to helpwith the survivability. but yeah. i get off...” he paused to check the time through his shattered phone screen, “right now.”

i wish i was just a little bit taller… reaching things on most of the shelves in the center is really hard because it has to be high enough to be out of reach for the kids and if they decide to climb on something to be naughty… but it makes it hard to reach for me… now i’m just rambling pointlessly… sorry. 

[andrcwx-blog]

drew stood almost a foot taller than the girl, but he wasn’t exactly a GIANT himself, “you should hire someone to be tall for you.” his lips pursed as he thought about it, “or-- give this a thought-- you could lock things away. child safety locks are a marvelous invention.”
