                  ❛ It’s fine. Everyone has their own opinion. You have your own which is don’t agreeing with it. ❜  Alice felt terrible for hear the other’s rambling and wanted to make it up for her. ❛ Let me buy you a drink, what do you want ?! I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hear what you were talking. I’m Kingsley, Alice. ❜ She stretched her hand for a formal and polite introduction, something she normally does with everyone she met.  

The blonde nodded lightly, “I know, I don’t know where I’m going with this topic...” Aubrey chortled before she raised her brows and smiled lightly, “If you’re offering, okay. I’m Aubrey.” She smiled and shook the other’s hand.

Athena knew fully well how quickly this Pregnancy would fly by. She didn’t really know where her and the baby would stay. If they’d stay permanently with the baby’s father or if they’d switch back and forth, if she kept her apartment. “Yes, it really will. I’m scared, but I’m excited!” She looked at the unfamiliar blonde. “My names Athena by the way. Yours?”

Aubrey was, if anything, a little jealous that yet someone else was pregnant and getting their life together. The blonde was also happy for her new acquaintance, however, and outstretched her hand as the doctor introduced herself, shaking her hand lightly, “Aubrey. It’s nice to meet you.” She glanced down at Athena’s abdomen, “I’m waiting for the day this all happens for me.”

susieblcke:

Susie stood in the middle of the aisle, an obvious look of confusion on her face. “Would you rather go with sturdy, plain lookin’ wine glasses or these fancy lookin’ ones with sparkles on them that will probably break quicker…” she trailed. “These are the kinds of questions I’m faced with daily.”

Aubrey chortled before she then shook her head, “You want my advice?” She asked, rhetorically, “I’d buy both sets - use the plain one’s for times you have the girls over, or you’re drinking a wine with dinner. The fancy one’s for when the mother-in-law comes over, or you’re celebrating something big.” She gave a light shrug.

With a heavy sigh, James rubbed his temples in annoyance. After dealing with a rather difficult case, all he wanted as to be at the bar and drinking. It was a particularly daunting case and James had just about enough of it. “I’ll get another whiskey sour,” he mumbled after waving down the bartender. When he noticed someone sitting beside him, James chuckled. “You look worse than me and here I thought I had a rough day.”

Aubrey wasn’t one for drinking away her problems but, she had really been relying on the commission she had been scheduled to do for the Governor’s Office. The blonde had paced her way to the bar she had settled in, the day she had moved back to Boston from the West coast. Ever since, she’d had a special connection with the establishment. She didn’t know what had happened, for the deal to have fallen through but, it frustrated her, to no end. When the man beside her spoke up, in her general direction, she glanced up from her glass and chuckled a little, “You can thank the Governor’s Office for that.”

maggiefowler:

“So… my car was broken into.” She sighed, shaking a little. “I called the police. It just freaked me out.”

“Did they take anything? Do anything to your car, or your engine?” The blonde questioned lightly, “I’m sorry, the police haven’t arrived yet, and you’re already being interrogated. Do you need me to get you anything?”

sky-bates:

Being new to a city was something that always excited Skylar. He was constantly on the move with both of his parents being in the military. The young male was used to moving, but was always so excited when he got the opportunity to do it again. He’s been to many cities around the world and Boston was one that he has had on his bucket list for a long time. He was happy going, walking with his iced latte. he then saw someone in front of him and he decided to walk up to them, “Hi! How was heaven when you left it?” he asked them as he giggled and then shook his head. “Sorry, that was so bad. I’m Skylar.”

Aubrey had been having quite the rough day; the sample palettes for the next big commission she was scheduled to do hadn’t arrived yet, and the client was getting impatient, trying to rush her into finding alternatives. When she heard the voice beside her, the blonde flicked her eyes sideways before she turned her head to glance at the young man. A small smirk flashed across her face at his gumption, she gave a chortle, “If Heaven is also known as the Back Bay, then eh, okay.” She gave a chortle before she continued, “Skylar, was it?” Aubrey raised a brow.

“Post-modern, huh? Do I really seem that stuffy?,” Silas asked with a laugh, shaking his head no at the idea. Everyone always had their assumptions when it came to art and what artists looked like. In a different kind of shirt, the half sleeve on his bicep made people assume that he was a tattoo artist whenever he talked about art. “Photorealism. Contemporary for the most part. But I’ve dabbled in a bit of everything. I can thank art school for that.” Now he sounded stuffy, talking about his time at art school, but hey, the woman had said that she had done some design work of her own, hadn’t she? She must have understood then. 

“Yeah, I’m not sure why I get that kind of feeling about you.” She chortled before she added, “For the record, I don’t think you’re stuffy.” Aubrey was not one for being assumptious, she couldn’t afford to be with the nature of her job; she needed to be able to walk into any space, regardless of what the building looked like on the outside, and work her magic on the inside. When Silas spoke up about what art he liked, she nodded and smiled brightly, “I haven’t heard of too many people who were into that style, it’s refreshing to hear about it. Oh, which school did you go to?” She clasped her fingers around the stem of her glass, leaning forward with a smile, interested in his schooling. Anybody she came across who worked in a similar, creative field as her automatically interested her, “Creativity, I think, is one of the most important skills a person can have.”

alicekingsley:

Alice tried to not overhear what the blonde was saying but she couldn’t help but let out a small smile crept on her delicate features, chewing one side of her cheek to smooth a giggle that was threating to escape.  ❛     Perhaps, because visually is cute? The words draw the picture in people mind, so visually kissing someone on the forehead is cute than removing a bra, for instance?!     ❜  

Aubrey winced slightly, it wasn’t something she had really put all that much thought into. She gave a sideways smile, creasing her left eye as she shrugged, “I mean, it sounds better, you’re right. But, it just doesn’t fly with me. It’s not the greatest feeling - I’ll say, anyway.”

[avbreycllis]

connorshapiro:

“Exactly! Just to have that energy… with anyone. Even a pet. Just not coming home to nothing. It’s nice. Just an embrace, anything at all. I feel like that’s so underrated, but life is so nice when there’s simply someone else.”

“Yes, with a pet, it’s something that can just brighten your day. Knowing there’s something or someone to come home to at the end of the day, is just wonderful.” Aubrey smiled, nodding in agreement.

ryanvogt:

“Little fuckers getting into these open houses to cause chaos and ruin my fucking job.”

“So, it’s been one of those days, has it?” Aubrey questioned, with a slight air of dryness. She gave him a gentle smirk and nodded, as if she knew what was happening.

[avbreycllis]

dr-athenamontgomery:

Athena shook her head with a smile. “Not that far along actually. I’m coming on week 9.” She wished she were further along, the excitement of meeting her little one was consuming. “But thank you!”

“Raspberry, of course. I think by sixteen weeks, your baby would be the size of a lemon, maybe?” She smiled and nodded, “Oh, it’s an exciting time for you. Your pregnancy is going to fly by so quickly.”

[avbreycllis]

emilysullivan:

“Definitely not and for that we can be thankful, I would declare a brainwashing situation if all people were into that book,” she chuckled. “Maybe I can find one of those and just leave the books there, turn around and they will have disappeared. A girl can dream, right? They’ll be someone else’s problems.”

Aubrey smirked and laughed before she nodded, “Well, we can still be hopeful. I feel like that’s what the world is missing, to be honest.” She continued to smirk as Emily spoke up again, “You and I have very similar opinions on that matter.”

“Some people say that it sounds excruciatingly painful, but it kind of reaches a moment where the whole ice cold water shock wears off and your whole body becomes slightly numb. It’s pretty amazing for sore muscles,” she said, with a small smile. It was nice to talk about something she did know what she was talking about. “Not bad, but I feel like it’s not bad coming from a fraternity type of relationship. A forehead kiss does not stand in the place of a fucking ravishing one.”

“I’ll bet, I know having a Turkish bath or stepping into a sauna and then alternating between the hot and cold is supposed to be quite good for elongating muscles, too.” The blonde nodded, “I had a boyfriend who was heavily into that kind of stuff - the whey protein and the shakes, the eating well, almost always at the gym. He would be all over those deep-muscle and tissue massages.” Aubrey chortled and nodded her head, to reiterate her agreement, “Oh, for sure! Those kisses are most definitely A+.”

dr-athenamontgomery:

“I got to see my baby yesterday. The little one is only the size of a raspberry, but they’re healthy. I got a picture of my ultrasound and everything. I have a strong feeling of which gender my baby will be, but it’s just a feeling I have. We’ll have to wait and see.”

“You’re pregnant? That’s wonderful news!” Aubrey smiled, flashing her teeth slightly as she beamed at the other woman, “How far along are you? By the sounds of it, not that far - about sixteen weeks?” She posed gently.

silas-fredericksson:

“Well my business is a bit different,” Silas began to explain, opening the door for the woman once they were in front of Sip Wine Bar and Kitchen. The conversation paused as they were immediately greeted by the hostess and led to an available table with menus already waiting for them. Once they were alone, Silas decided to clarify what he meant. “I’m an artist. Well, I’m many things, but I’m mostly an artist,” the man joked, as he opened up his menu. “This place is good to talk to potential clients about what kind of work they are looking for.” It was mostly the truth, which was Silas’ way of dealing with the part that he wasn’t telling Aubrey. “So I guess you can say it’s the mixing of business and pleasure.” 

Aubrey nodded as she walked side-by-side with Silas, only slightly able to keep up with his pace in her stilettos. She was clacking along when he suddenly slowed and opened the door for her. She nodded again as she stepped inside and smiled at the sight; it was a classy place, somewhere to definitely enjoy a quiet drink and unwind. As they were seated, the blonde tilted her head at him, an eyebrow quirked slightly, “You are piquing my interest by the second.” As Aubrey unfolded her menu, she glanced over the top of it to Silas, “What kind of work? Like, contemporary stuff? Modern stuff?” She raised her shoulder a little as she questioned him, “You strike me as someone who would be into post-modern art. I don’t know why I get that impression, actually.” She giggled and skimmed the menu as she bobbed her head at his last comment, “Cheers to that.”

eligreyson:

“Well, actually, the only exception I would make is for a Reese’s cup but that is all.” He chuckled. “And the stickiness? Even though that’s with all candy really. I didn’t get a lot of cavities growing up to say the least thanks to my hate towards sweet shit.”

“Okay, you do have a good point. Those are good.” Aubrey nodded in agreement, “When I was younger, I would probably have sold my soul for one of those things.” She chortled. After a moment, she nodded and gave a weak smile, “Candy isn’t for everyone.”

[avbreycllis]

lukebrivers:

“Maybe people have become addicted to the taste and that’s why they’re still selling it because I don’t know who in their right mind would drink it for taste.” He said, scrunching up his nose in disgust. “I’m surprised that hasn’t been banned by the FDA.”

She shook her head, “Well, more fool them, I guess.” Aubrey wasn’t sure why anybody would even subject themselves to that concoction - it was vile. When she heard his comment, Aubrey chortled brightly, “Yes, I’m surprised that hasn’t happened yet.”
