“i’ll be guessing it depends on the people, cause this type of stuff looks so natural on them when they scream at each other.” he chuckled slightly, before letting his eyes find the male beside him. “wait- paid to fight? what’s your name?” he asked, wondering if he’s seen a fight of his. he wasn’t a violent person, but like any other human, he found extreme pleasure in watching it in a controlled environment. 

[anthonyxcalroze]

“Yeah that’s true-- But some of the stuff they actually fight over it’s like really? I mean most of it they could solve civally if they really wanted to.” He responded with his own laughter. Raising his gaze back up to the strangers he rubbed the side of his jaw awkwardly. “Yeah, I box for a living. Anthony Calroze, but I go my Tony Roze for the fights.”

“I plan on going to another convince store, sadly it was one of those places that only had the one line. Complete shame.”

[anthonyxcalroze]

“Awe man you really lucked out then didn’t you?”

reese drank from his paper cup, after turning it around from the side he had been chewing on earlier. trying ways to stop it from happening to his nails. a comic laid out in front of him and he turned the page anxiously. he had read it a thousand times in the past but wouldn’t stop getting excited when his head would get warped into the story. he had just barely finished it with the happy ending, til the next in the series that is, when a man’s voice reached his ears. he looked up, his mouth still attached to his cup. “huh?” it had slipped out accidentally before, he grabbed the cup and put it on the table hastily. “i-i’ve only flown once, i’ve never gotten it before.” reese mentally slapped himself, why did he open his mouth?

[anthonyxcalroze]

Anthony had to restrain the urge to laugh at the clueless look the stranger had given him, and in his delirious stage he found that one of the hardest things he’s ever done so he took a hearty gulp of the hot coffee. “I’d count myself super lucky than man.... Where’d you fly from?” He asked groggily placing his mug back down onto the table.

          Rhaella was sitting quietly in the first coffee shop she found, taking a sit on a stool. She’d been so distracted reading about exporting laws, that when a male voice nearby snapped her out of her reading, she looked up only to realize that the almost empty coffee shop when she’d arrived, was now nearly filled. Smart, bright eyes glanced down at the man’s shaky hands before talking. “It is… I don’t know how coffee is going to help your case, though.”

[anthonyxcalroze]

         Scoffing Anthony raised his shoulders into a shrug at her statement. He wasn’t a coffee drinker, but he was trying to stay awake or else he’d really be messed up with time and he was also hiding out from the people he had ditched. “I’m hoping it’ll help counteract the sleep I want, but can’t take.”

“Jetlag?” Johannes overheard, turning to the man nursing his coffee cup in front of him. “I’ve heard a lot of people talking about it but I was lucky that I never got it. My flight was almost a day, including one stop off, but luckily the timezone is the same so I got off lightly.” The South African chuckled.

[anthonyxcalroze]

“Yeah I’d definitely count yourself lucky that you haven’t experienced it.” Tony muttered rubbing at the bridge of his nose he gave a small shrug of his shoulders. “Yeah you got lightly with that, struck a bargain. I came from the states this time so the jet lag is serious.”

Lacey had gone to the local coffee shop to draw. It was a new surroundings with new opportunities. On top of that, her room was too quiet and the beach too crowded for her thoughts. Especially with the events of the party still on the forefront of her mind. The soft voice took her by surprise, as she had been deep into what she had been doing. “Where did you come from?” She murmured softly. A tone she was slowly starting to fall back to.

Meeting the strangers gaze, he was for once grateful that she was speaking in soft tones since it didn’t irritate the headache that was making a home for itself in his temples. “Just back from the states... I had a few fights and meetings I had to deal with, but now I’m wishing I just stayed.” He huffed out with a small laugh bringing the hot coffee to his lips.

Holly didn’t know how to react when her eyes had landed on Anthony. She was upset and hurt that he’d taken a vacation without telling her, that he’d basically left as soon as she’d told him she was pregnant- but another, larger part of her was just happy to have him back. But she couldn’t just pretend she’d never seen him. “So where did you go?” she asked quietly, lifting Rosie higher on her lip as the little girl let out a happy sound, hands reaching out for her father. 

[anthonyxcalroze]

Physically jumping when the voice hit his ears, Anthony slowly raised his head to meet Holly’s gaze while a grin fell across his lips as he focused in on his daughter. Reaching to take the little one from her mother’s arms Anthony coo’d at Rosie giving her a small wink. “Hey, baby girl.. Were you good for momma?” He asked putting off his answer to her question so he knew how to answer it correctly. “I had a few fights I needed to do-- Clear my head.”

[anthonyxcalroze]

He had officially been back on Cove for five hours and already was it weird for Anthony it made his palms sweat and the nerves that he had forced down long enough for his mini week vacation were coming back tenfold, and he hated it. The dark haired male groaned his head hitting his hands as he stirred mindlessly at the coffee in front of him. “Jetlag is a thing and it’s a killer.” He mumbled out to no one in particular in fact he was hoping to blend in with his surroundings since he hadn’t stopped by to see his girlfriend since his disappearance.

“So I went to the drug store yesterday  and the clerk kept hitting on me. He kept saying things like “Oh you so cute, oh you so pretty, oh you want to go out sometime?” I got so annoyed I shouted ‘I LIKE VAGINAS’ and stormed off,  completely leaving my Zebra cakes behind entirely. What a shame.”

[anthonyxcalroze]

“I would have gone back for the zebra cakes or moved to a different line..?”

“look at this fight, these women are having.” julian spoke outloud, watching tv. “i don’t, in anyway condone fighting. but what the hell? it happens every few minutes.” he gestured to the screen that displayed one of those shows that included the word housewives in it. “i mean- i’d be lying if i said it wasn’t entertaining though.” he chuckled, throwing a chip into his mouth.

[anthonyxcalroze]

“I get paid to fight... so fighting is just fighting in my eyes.” Anthony grumbled out eyes darting to the tv then back to the book in his hands. “Sometimes I think that it has to all be scripted though, like there’s no way there’s that much drama in someone’s life.”

“school has me beat, does anyone want to take a break and go for a swim? this heat is unbearable and I would love to feel the sand between my toes rather than smash my head in from too much algebra homework.”

[anthonyxcalroze]

“What are you in school for? I’d definitely say yes, but I loath sand so you might want to find someone else.” 

[anthonyxcalroze]

I’ll be on later to do the rest of the replies I owe I just woke up randomly -- Alright goodnight love you all.

“If you wanted to sit here, you could’ve just asked instead of just standing there. I would have gladly moved my things. In other words, a closed mouth doesn’t get fed,”  she uttered while grabbed her purse quickly, evidently unconcerned with getting a glimpse of the person. “I was just about to leave anyway.“

[anthonyxcalroze]

Tony shook himself out of his thoughts quickly when he heard a voice and he mentally prayed that it wasn’t directed towards him. “Huh?” Clearly, luck wasn’t on his side and he shuffled around on his feet eyes furrowed together in confusion as to what the stranger was talking about til he realized that he had been standing there looking like some sort of creep. “Oh shit -- No sorry, you’re fine really I was spacing and didn’t realize I had stopped walking.”

“I need something new to do on this island- the locals are getting boring as hell. Who’s up for going cliff diving?”

[anthonyxcalroze]

“I’m so down-- When are we going?”

[thebrycedoll-blog]

“I am only one bowl into today- so help me find clothes for my party before I start seeing sounds and hearing colors.”

[anthonyxcalroze]

“Not to sound rude, but that hat looks absolutely terrible on you.”

[jakebrxxks-blog]

“But why the hell would anyone give up that sort of thing? Drinking keeps me going.”

[anthonyxcalroze]

“Cause sometimes it doesn’t bring any good to the table, and there’s always like health reasons I suppose. I can’t really stand the taste or smell of liquor.”

[gdiholly-blog1]

Holly took a deep breath when Anthony’s voice raised- as much as she didn’t want to admit it, it scared her a little. Logically, she knew that he’d never physically hurt her, but that didn’t change the fact that having someone practically yell at you was scary. “Anthony Jay Calroze… You know I’ve always loved you, an’ that nothin’ is ever gonna change that. I am upset and hurt, but I understand. That this is probably terrifyin’ for ya. I can’t be mad when I understand why you’re not as happy as I am.” Despite her words, her eyes began welling with tears- because she didn’t want this to be what finally broke them apart. At least the first time it had happened, they’d ended up here and back together. But she didn’t think island magic would work on them a second time if he left again.

[anthonyxcalroze]

Locking his jaw Anthony’s eyes hardened because she wasn’t making this easy -- she was allowing him to walk away again if that’s what he needed and that alone tore him up a bit. He was selfish and if he ever had doubts this moment solidified the fact as there was one person who would love him unconditionally, and instead of letting her go he clung to her like a lifesaver. He opened his mouth to rebuttal what she had said, to start up another argument that would only fall on deaf ears, but he had nothing more to say. She was right -- Of course she was, he was terrified and she had been in this position with Rose, but he wasn’t around for Rose and kids were a terrifying thing. Chewing down on his bottom lip, Anthony took a deep breath running a hand through his messy locks. “I- I think I need to get some air... Don’t wait up.” He murmured defeated pressing a small kiss to the center of her forehead hoping it’d give her some sort of reassurance that despite how stupid he was, he loved her. He just needed time to deal with it on his own...
