WHEN the other admitted that she’d been in her shoes not too long ago, mari arched a brow. “ by choice or no? ” she asked softly. she hated the idea of someone being in her shoes NOT by choice. 

    “Kind of,” she said with a shrug, running her finger along the rim of her glass. “I’m pretty new to town and I didn’t feel like I knew anyone well enough to celebrate my birthday with. I mean I could have asked, but it’s not like I would be hanging out with close friends, you know?”

“We didn’t date when we were teens, cause he’s a little older than I am. Not that it matters now, we’re both adults.” she laughed a little. “I’m stressed because he’s my boss, and if it goes sour, what do I do.”

“Oh,” she said, slightly taken aback by the news that her date was with her boss. “That’s impressive. How much older is he than you?” Ava asked, now curious as to the events that conspired ending in her getting a date with her boss. “And if it goes sour you move to China,” she joked.

AVA chucked at herself at the woman’s comment. Mostly because she was in the same boat two weeks ago. She was still relatively new to town and didn’t feel comfortable asking people to go out with her on her birthday, so she had dinner with her daughter, and spent the night with a bottle of wine facetiming her friends from California. At least this girl actually left her house. “ Oh, absolutely, ” she said, lifting her own drink to toast the stranger.

MARI watched as the other woman seemed to laugh at her comment and she worried that she was laughing at her, but chose to just be patient and see how she reacted to her request. when she seemed to agree to having a drink with her, mari sighed out of relief. “ oh, gracias. you’re a lifesaver. ” she hummed with a smile before lifting her glass and tapping it against the others before pressing it to her lips.

[avamendoza]

“Oh, no, don’t thank me,” she insisted, taking a sip of her drink. “I was in your shoes not too long ago, so I completely understand the feeling,” Ava admitted, although she probably shouldn’t have, as it made her sound pretty pathetic.

    “Oh, I’m the completely wrong person to be asking for dating advice,” she admitted, laughing as she shook her head. “But if this guy has known you since you were eighteen and still wants to go on a date with you after seeing your shameful teen years, probably the best bet is to be yourself and not go overboard with stressing about it.”

“Well, I mean, I’ve known him before I was eighteen. Not that it makes any more of a difference.” she laughed. “I know, but what girl doesn’t stress about a date? Love is scary. Well, dating anyways.”

[avamendoza]

“Exactly, he knew you through your teen years and still wants to date you. That speaks to how much he likes you,” she said with a small smile. “I mean, that’s fair, I guess. What are you nosed stressed about?”

BIRTHDAYS had always been a big celebration back home when she was in cuba, but ever since she’d moved to the states, it seemed like each year her celebration got smaller and smaller. this year, mari found herself sitting alone at the bar, sipping a glass over her favorite rose colored wine. looking over at the person sitting a few feet away from her, she plastered an innocent smile on her face. “ there’s honestly nothing worse than being alone on your birthday. be a doll and have drink with me, will ya? ” it was her feeble attempt at trying to be social – something that hadn’t come easy for her recently.

“So, I have a date with this guy that I liked before i left town at eighteen, and I still like him, but, I haven’t been on a date in over a year, so I don’t know what to do, or wear or whatever.”

“Just some work stress. Still trying to get everything situated since moving here…” he explained. “So, what about this shitty patient of yours?”

     “Trust me, I understand work and moving stress... do you want to talk about it?” Ava offered, knowing full well that being new in this town wasn’t always easy.  “Not much, she just doesn’t believe in modern medicine... which is stupid because why are you going to a modern doctor if you don’t believe in modern medicine?”

[avamendoza]

My internet is being a shit and isn’t letting me post so I’ll come back in the morning and do replies

“-wait, I’m sorry.” Aiden snapped out of his thoughts to focus on the other. He hadn’t meant to zone out and lose focus, but oh well. “Sorry…” he threw another apology out, “what were you saying?” He just had a lot on his plate.

[avamendoza]

    “No, don’t be sorry,” she said, offering a supportive smile. “You look like whatever is on your mind is more important than my shitty patient, so don’t worry... what’s going on?”

[avamendoza]

So I unexpectedly had to move this week, and I FINALLY got internet! I will be on tomorrow to interact with you all and meet all the new characters! Feel free to message me if you want to plot!

Tumblr isn’t letting me follow people so I’m sorry if you’ve gotten 80000 notifications it’s just not letting me stay followed to people

      “Honestly, I felt the same way when I moved here a few months ago,” she said with a light sigh. “I came from LA where it was just constantly moving and running around so the change of pace was an adjustment for sure… honestly it’s kind of nice once you get used to it. You start to enjoy the quiet and the lack of traffic.”

“You’re from LA too?” Catalina grinned when Ava mentioned her origin was from LA as well and though they just met, it was always great to meet someone from Los Angeles. It made her feel a little less homesick. “I don’t think I could ever get used it. I would miss the bustle of LA so much.  I already do, and I’ve only been here a couple of weeks.” She sighed, reminiscing on her home, her office, her life. She really hoped this stay didn’t extend too long. “Why’d you leave LA?”

[avamendoza]

“Yeah, I lived there my whole life... well I left for a few years in college but ended up transferring back to LA,” she explained to the other woman. “I thought I’d feel that way too but honestly life not racing a hundred miles a minute is really nice,” she said with a light laugh. “Honestly I just felt like I needed to be somewhere other than LA, plus I got a really good job here... what about you?”

[rosem---harmon]

“I don’t know,” Catalina sighed, picking up her coffee from the counter and turning to face her company. She took a sip and had to hide a bit of the wince she made. Cuppa Joe’s wasn’t bad coffee but for most of her life, she had been spoiled with amazing coffee from New York and from LA. It was something she was still getting used to. “It’s been two weeks and I’m still not used to this. Your town is so quiet. Nothing happens…I’m just used to the bustle and speed of a city, I suppose.” Being an officer and then a homicide detective in a big city had always involved action and chases and danger. There was never a quiet day so this new assignment, though related to her biggest case to date, was proving to be a bit of a bore at the moment.

“Just trying out some new looks for Paige. So for fun, I guess. But also work.” Parker points out, chuckling softly. 

     “Ah, right, you’re one of the lucky bastards that have fun at work,” she joked as if she didn’t love her job wholeheartedly. 

[avamendoza]

parkercullen‌:

“Oh, I know. I wear lots of other colors. I’m just known for pink.” Parker points out, chuckling softly. “Mm, alright. I’ll think about it.” 

     “Fine, but I think you should get it because it’ll literally look amazing on you,” she teased with a playful shrug. “Is there a special occasion for this lipstick or is it just for fun?”

Paxton chuckled, “Of course, you might have to invest in child proofing your internet access. The things parents present and future will have to look forward to.”

    “As if I haven’t already. Kids are exposed to all sorts of things. I’m just lucky she didn’t take to google herself and asked me instead. No matter how uncomfortable it made me.”

Siggy nodded, “that’s what I’m most thankful for honestly, is that they’re not here. I know they’re safe where they are even if they don’t know I’m safe.” She sighed as her eyes teared up a bit. “It’s scary to think of all the lives that could have and might be ruined today.” She was gazing off at everything in front of them and her heart squeezed tight in her chest at the thought of it all. “It hurts to see Crownsville like this.”

        “Honestly, me too. I couldn’t imagine how terrified Addison would be if she were here,” she said, exhaling. She just wanted to get out of all of this chaos and hold her babygirl. “Have you been able to get in touch with your kids?” she asked, attempting to send a text, but again, the signal was jammed from everyone trying to call loved ones. “Seriously though.... I hope the bastard who did this ends up in prison for a very, very long time.”
