While it was a very regular thing to do first thing in the morning for most people, John usually took his daily coffee runs rather seriously. They’d been a crucial part of his routine for a long time now, apart from the torturous two weeks in which he’d tried to cut down his caffeine intake - without success. Third Culture Coffee had therefore by far become his favorite go-to spot and John was happy to have found such a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing place to spend some time in. Thankfully, it wasn’t as frequented when he arrived, but he was also in no rush. Scanning over the menu, the man wondered if maybe just maybe he should be a little more adventurous with his order for once, considering that he usually stuck to his regular one. “You can go right ahead and order if you’d like, don’t worry about cutting me. I think I need another minute - or two…,” he told the person nearby before he trailed off. “Okay, maybe three,” he joked with a bright grin resting on his features.

Morning. Death. Same thing. Would she rather be snuggled in a fluffy, white duvet without pants? Hell yeah. But alas, here she was and just steps away from the sweet, sweet nectar that provided her with a jolt similar to that of crack. “Oh, thank god.” She said, moving past the man toward the counter. She ordered, secure in her decision of an extra shot of espresso in her drink which she’d regret later. Turning back to him, she narrowed eyes and pushed her nest of hair out of her face. “Sorry, dude. Didn’t mean to sound like a bitch. I’m just like... not alive today.”

“Shut up, be zen,” Veronica quietly imitated her best friend, childish facial expressions and much too high decibel vocal range included. After what felt like hours, which could have at most only been a few more minutes, the instructor announced the end of the class and for everyone to have a ‘relaxing and stellar day’. It took everything the blonde had not to roll her eyes. Looking over at Jamie, she managed to muster a smile. “Does this mean you’re buying the first round?”

Jamie slapped her car down on the marbled bar with a roll of her eyes. “Yeah, yeah. Let your rich friend pay for everything.” She signaled for the bartender to keep a tab open. “Tequila shots on a Tuesday afternoon? Don’t mind if I do!” Jamie sighed and looked to the blonde, her brow raised. “Is everything okay in your life? I’m bored with mine. Please give me an interesting story or something.”

What (if any) tattoos does your character have?

Jamie has her zodiac constellation tattooed on the left side of her ribs. It’s on the smaller side. She’s a Gemini and the only reason it’s important to her is because she’s a twin so it’s partially for her brother.

“Well, to be fair, I didn’t know you had an apparent crush on me.” Cooper took off his jacket and offered it to her. “Would you like to wear this? This is about all the romance I can give you right now.”

“You’re very attractive but I happen to like our friendship and if I ruin it by letting you put your dick inside me, I just won’t be able to forgive myself.” She laughed, tossing him a look. “Are you sure?” She asked, hesitating to grab the jacket. “What a guy.”

“Then it’s a deal, I’ll take Freddie when you’re busy.” There were plenty of times that Landon missed all of it. He missed their dog, Landon was pretty attached to the animal, that was until he and Jamie split up. He didn’t see the dog as much but it wasn’t just the dog he missed. It was all of it. Admitting to himself that he missed it all. That he missed the life he had with none other than the woman in front of him, it was something he didn’t want to dig into all that much but it was true. “— And on the plus side, I might be a bitch but I’m free.” He joked, raising and dropping his shoulders as the words left his lips. “Oh, totally but in a completely respectable and charming way, obviously.” Landon smiled back as they got up and made their way out of the bar. Turning a little to look at her once they were walking on the sidewalk, Landon couldn’t help but laugh. “If there’s one thing we both have in common it’s the fact that we aren’t the most graceful drunks.” 

When Jamie took his jacket Landon didn’t even hesitate or react to the action. Instead he let her and continued following her lead. When it came to Jamie he was comfortable around her despite how nerve-wracking it could be to be around her now. There was still a comfort level that he was sure would never really go away. “You’re practically running, alright. Give me a break.” The words were said in a teasing manor as he caught up to the brunette. “Besides, if he puts the mustard away I’ll just get him to take it back out, I’m a pretty convincing guy. — and maybe I wanna take my time?” Landon commented as he turned his head to look at Jamie who was now beside him. He didn’t know if what he meant by what he said was obvious or if it wasn’t but what he meant by what he said was he didn’t want this night to end because he didn’t want reality to hit. Sooner or later everything ends though, doesn’t it? Or was that just the pessimist in him? 

“I’ll still pay you somehow...” She lingered on the thought. “Alcohol or something.” Sex. Did he even like the same things anymore? “City walking, dude! Pick up the pace.” Jamie smiled once he arrived next to her. “You are not fighting the pretzel guy. He’s a nice man.” Tightening her hold on his jacket, she bumped shoulders with him. Well... she bumped a shoulder into his arm. “Yeah? You want to take your time? I wonder why...” Peeking up at him, she quirked a brow. “I’m around more often than not. We can do this again. It’s not like I’m going away.” Maybe that was his fear? Jamie traveled a lot, sure. But she always returned. She had set up shop here, in a way. And sometimes she realized a lot of that had to do with Landon and the start of their life. The dog, the apartment. “Hey...” She started a thought. “Do you want to go to that bar around the corner that has those super cheap, awful drinks?”

“I know it’s still a little early, but I’m at a loss at what to get my mom for Mother’s Day this year. It feels like I always get her the same thing every year: flowers, jewelry, cards..all that.”

“Does she wear makeup? There’s this shop downtown where you can make your own custom shade of lipstick. It’s pretty cool. I’ve done it for myself before but you get to name it and everything so it might make for a cool gift.”

“To be fair, I probably should have one of those as well,” Nathan shared with a grin, shrugging. “Looks like I got more than one pricey vice to deal with but you know…I feel like cutting out coffee would definitely lower my quality of life,” he joked before shaking his head. “No, seriously - I appreciate it a lot. I moved here from New York so sometimes I gotta remind myself that some people actually do care at least the minimal amount,” he added. “So it’s definitely rare,” the male confirmed before he pulled a face at the list of things keys could be a symbol for. “Yikes. I was pretty indifferent when it came to keys before but now I’m starting to develop some kind of aversion,” he told her with a chuckle. “Definitely more exciting. Do you smoke?” He asked, looking down a his pack as he wondered if offering her a cigarette as a thank you would be pointless or welcomed by the stranger.

“I would recommend the app I use to you but honestly, all it does is yell at me for overspending and we’re having problems right now. I just don’t appreciate the backlash.” She smiled, laughing at her own joke. “God, it would would. Coffee is the nectar of my life. I need it to live and thrive and be kind to random strangers like yourself.” The New York bit now made sense, causing her to nod her head. “Ah, yes. Bellevue is full of those friendly folk who actually kind of look you in the eyes. I used to live in New York. I used to live in a ton of places, actually. I travel a lot for work.” Jamie shook her head. “Nah, I don’t. No judgement, though. Like we established, we all have our things. But hey, speaking of coffee, I’m heading over to grab some now. Busy? Want to come with?”

“Settle down, settle down,” he mumbled. Cooper held out his hand to help guide her. “Maybe you need glasses?” he suggested. At her humble brag, he scoffed a bit. “Well, why didn’t you just do that this time? Or at least bring up the idea of a hotel?”

“I have glasses. And contacts.” She assured, finally finding proper footing in the dirt. “Because I thought this was going to be like, romantic or something. Not that this is a date. But I just like romance in things. And dirt is not romantic. So, no points for you.”

When did your muse learn about sex?

Before their dad went on a long trip, the twins’ mom felt they had to have the talk right then and there and wanted both parents to be responsible and not just her. (Probably due to awkwardness.) So, age twelve or something. But in all reality, they should have had separate talks because neither of them listened due to making fun of each other and they ended up just learning in a more graphic manner from school friends.

Does your muse hate their middle name? What is it?

It’s Olivia. Their parents knew they wanted the name Braxton for one of the twins and settled for a gender-neutral name for the other. Knowing them, they probably wanted a small semblance of elegance. She’s unbothered either way. She doesn’t even use her middle name often.

If your muse was given the opportunity to go skydiving, would they?

Yes and she has before.

Her life traveling had never caught up to her and it was as if by thinking that she’d jinxed herself. There was no one to find in Bellevue, more especially no one to find her. She’d be gone in a month two and it would have been a beautiful little pit stop while she had it. However, upon turning around she landed on an all too familiar face but her reaction was telling. Sid’s lips curled into a smirk and her eyes wandered over Jamie’s striking features. Had she ever mentioned where she hailed from? Surely not, and if she did it hadn’t been information that Sid had held onto. “Surely you followed me here, no?” Sid toyed, appreciating that their humor hadn’t changed. “Looking for a wildly attractive freelance photographer?”

“Well, duh.” She said, following with a roll of the eyes. “I grew up here.” Jamie explained, shrugging a shoulder. “Got an apartment and everything. Staying here for a bit. Don’t have any major trips coming up. But wow, what a small world. What are you up to?”

What is a deal-breaker when it comes to dating someone?

Don’t cheat on her...? Jamie doesn’t have a lot of deal-breakers and if she does, they’re really specific like how you dress or how your hair is done. But ultimately, if she liked someone enough, that wouldn’t matter to her because she’s not completely terrible.

What is your muse’s first memory?

Probably something with her twin, Braxton. I feel like any childhood memory she has has to do with him. I imagine they have a lot of connected memories together like holding hands or fighting.

“I haven’t been back here in years but I have never been so happy to see this restaurant still up and running.” Jace pointed at the pizzeria. The place had been his local hangout spot when he was in high school. He was more than happy to see it was still up and running. He hadn’t cared who was beside him but he’d known he hadn’t wanted to eat alone. “Care to let me buy you a slice of pizza?” 

“God, it’s the best isn’t it?” Jamie caressed a couple bricks of the building. “She’s always here for me when I return.” Her mouth gaped open in the slightest, unsure if he was serious. “A handsome dude like you is gonna buy me a slice of pizza? Jesus. I’m dreaming. Hell yeah. But only if you agree to get extra cheese too. So I don’t feel as bad about not eating a salad today.”

Going out for a drink, talking, even civilly being in the same place as his ex girlfriend seemed like an impossible feat to Landon a couple days ago. Yet, here he was, here they were. Of course Landon was by all means a negative person at times but he couldn’t lie, he was glad he listened to what Jamie had said and reached out to her like a normal human being. There was no alternative motive, no need to hurt himself or even her. This was just them. In a way it was a test drive to see if there was still something there. Whether that be something romantic or platonic, Landon had to know what was going on with them other than the hurt and distrust that he knew all too well. Although, these were all things going through Landon’s head, he didn’t know what was going through hers. Maybe he was reading too much into nothing. Maybe he was being naive? He didn’t know why he let himself become so naive when it came to the brunette. 

Raising the cold beverage up to his lips, he took a sip of the beer while he listened to her, finishing off what he had left. Shaking his head, Landon placed the glass back on the table. “It’s fine,” he wanted to add the fact that he didn’t feel he deserved their dog. He was the one that fucked everything up in the first place but he decided to hold his tongue for once in his life. “How ‘bout whenever you need someone to watch him, I can? It’ll save you some money and I’ll see him, it’s a win win.” It was crazy to think they were once that couple that not only lived together but had a dog together. Most people that knew Landon didn’t really picture the domestic type lifestyle but there was a time when he had exactly that. Laughing a little, something he hadn’t done in front of Jamie for what seemed like too long. “Then we should probably get you outta here,” he began, as he stood up. “Ya’ know, before you start falling and shit like we’re in some sorta remake of the Jersey Shore.” Tilting his head towards the door, Landon grabbed his jacket off the back of the chair. “C’mon, I promised the pup I’d have you home before curfew.” He joked. 

“I will definitely take you up on that offer.” Sometimes she didn’t trust random strangers with her dog. “The dogsitter realized how much she was saving my ass and started charging more... Respect the hustle but she’s a bitch.” It saddened her a little - that was their little family. Just her, Landon and the dog. Jamie let out an exasperated gasp. “Are you trying to get me to leave with you?” Corners of her mouth picked up, a soft smile coating her face. “Hey, I am very classy when I’m drunk.” A statement they both knew was a lie. She fell a lot and swore more than she already did. It was bad for all parties involved.

She stood next to him, her gaze reaching up to look at him. “I think you got taller.” She complained. The literal definition of tall, brooding and handsome. They headed out the door and as a quick breeze hit her shoulders, she grabbed his jacket out of his hand. She still held the standard of fashion over comfort and her outfit didn’t call for a jacket. Walking a few steps ahead of him with his jacket, she turned swiftly with a smile. “Man, for someone with long legs, you sure are slow. Come on, I want one of those pretzels on the corner of Sixth Ave. before the dude puts away the mustard. And he always does early! Bastard.”

[andrewsjamie]

“Well, well, well...” She stepped behind someone who she’d recognize anywhere based on tattoos alone. Furrowing brows, it was a bit of a strange thing to see such a person standing in Bellevue of all places. But hey, she couldn’t judge because she was here too. Hesitant to even tap on her shoulder, she let her words grab attention. “Fancy seeing you in my hometown. Have you come to look for me?” She joked. The answer was clearly no.
