she’d spent the entire plane ride here wondering what exactly it was that wintergreen offered compared to the swiss alps, and why anyone would choose to vacation here. but perhaps that was part of the thrill, escaping to a place where no one would expect you to go. while she was strolling down the street, typing furiously fast on her phone she ended up bumping into someone. “sorry–i was looking for the nearest starbucks, this place–does have one, right?”

“Oh look who it is,” B says, lips curling into a smirk. “Mia Sinclair, all the way out here in Wintergreen. And you didn’t even call.” she starts to pout instead. For a rich kid B tries to be pretty tame, but being around the redhead seems to bring out the worst of her personality, in a way she couldn’t help but like. “I’ve been petitioning for one, but no you’re going to need to get your double-shot, non-fat, caramel frapp’s from the local coffee shop. And when I say get I also mean we don’t believe in non-fat out here.”

“She’s just….she’s amazing B, like I look at her and it just feels like this is it.” He shrugged softly as he looked back at his little sister. “I mean, even when I thought that trying to make things work with Piper for Oliver was the right thing I never felt like this but with Maya I just can’t shake this feeling out of my head that she’s…right.” Looking at her across the room he gave a small breath. “Yea well next time, you let him know we exist.” He scoffed at his sister, the baby Breckenridge far to young in his eyes to be dating. “Good, but I can’t actually baby sit you all night, I have a pretty woman to be kissing at midnight, are you looking for you guy with the same sort of plans?” 

“You and Rena sound like you’re living in fairytales sometimes,” she says without a trace of jealousy. B wants the best for her siblings, wants it too much to be jealous of her brother’s happiness when she can bask in the glow. But, she can’t help from wishing for the same. “Oh man, imagine? You guys would’ve gotten divorced before he could talk. But hey, when you both settle down Ollie gets four parents. Not bad for a one-year-old.” she says, only partly joking. Given the circumstances, she thinks it’s better Piper and Jazzy stay separated romantically. “Yeah, yeah, run off to your Juliet. I think I see Noah all by his lonesome. I’m gonna drag him away from the bar.”

tabi swallowed, hard, when she saw b in her dress.·“i mean, it’s after christmas but you won’t catch me complaining. are you sure your brothers will be ok with that?”

“Oh far from it, why do you think I’m wearing the blazer now?” she asks.·“Speaking of, they aren’t looking this way are they?” she shrugs out of the blazer without waiting for a response.

[bbreckenridge]

B doesn’t do cautious. She also doesn’t do thinking plans through. And she definitely doesn’t plan her actions according to how people react. But, well this is family, and sometimes sacrifices have to be made. “Hey, Piper!” she says, not really smiling, afraid of how she’s going to be perceived. “How’s Oliver? How are you? Motherhood seems to be suiting you well.” She winces at the last comment, when she’d talked to Mom about this, she’d insisted. @honcychurch

“who knows with you,” he mumbled under his breath before noting the way she was still defending that dress she as wearing. there was no way he could continue arguing with her, but given how much she loved him, clearly she found a good compromise which put a happy smile on his face. “thank you my dear B,” he smiled before nodding and laughing at her words about arizona. “she wasn’t boring, i mean–she’s not boring.” he didn’t know if she’d been planning on coming but there she was, seated at the bar with–his friend. huh, that was interesting to say the least, he had no idea if they even knew each other. “so–you enjoying the party so far?” he asked his little sister who had appeared to drag him out of his lovely corner.

“I know my big brother didn’t just imply it’s entirely possible I’m gonna be ugly at forty-five. I mean look at Mom, or Serena. The women in our family have great genes.” You’d have to be blind to imply either woman was anything short of breath-taking, but this whole town was no different. Must be something in the water. “Yeah, yeah, anything for you Duckie,” she scoffs, not managing to cover the affection in her voice. “I didn’t say she was boring, I said she was perfectly nice. Why’d you guys break up again? I don’t seem to remember her having any issues with you..” she trails off significantly. B looks in the direction he was, and spots her. Not wanting it to be obvious they’re talking about her she turns her head back to him. “It’s been nice so far. Hey, did we have a guest list by any chance?”

“nope, you’re going to be my baby sister even when you’re forty five years old,” he chuckled before giving her a quick kiss to her temple. she really had no idea how much he doted on her. really, he could let her get away with anything because she was his precious sister. “it’s a pretty dress to wear in the privacy of your own room,” noah mumbled thankful that she’d put the blazer on, even if that meant he would have to go ahead and mingle with the rest of the partygoers now. when he heard her words, he took a deep breath and sighed before catching her expression. “why are you making that face? i thought you liked arizona.”

“I’m gonna either be an unattractive old crone or married by then so either way you won’t need to worry about any hookups at parties then.” She’s not sure she’s going home with anyone tonight either, the person she wants isn’t exactly here tonight. But maybe if she gets drunk enough she’ll forget about the person she wants. “It’s a pretty dress, full stop. But for your sake I’ll dress a little more conservatively for the next party I go to or help host.” Which will be far enough in the future she’ll be able to get away with a similar dress without any mentions of this promise. “Of course I like Arizona, what makes you think I’m making a face? This is my normal face and Arizona is a perfectly boring, I mean nice, gal.”

“I know it’s already New Year’s, but this hat is so cute I couldn’t resist. Think I can get away with it?” B asks toying with the white pom at the end of her Santa’s hat. Christmas seemed to just fly by this year, she hadn’t had enough chances to wear it this year. But even she could kind of admit she looked a little ridiculous wearing her skimpy lingerie dress with her brother’s oversized blazer on top, and the firetruck red hat on top of all that. “Maybe I should’ve gone with a red dress this year.”

“thanks B, i will do that for sure.” she smiled before nodding as she looked around. “but i mean it’s a grand event, and clearly you all put a lot of planning into this.” she smiled before nodding at her words about the staff, “but i mean, i don’t know how you guys do things here, but we normally pay time and a half when they work holidays.” she murmured before smiling at barbara and nodding, “of course, plus as far as i know, siblings can be a little biased, but from what i’ve seen of you so far, i think everything he said was right.” for a moment, maya wanted to tell B that she knew for a fact, that whenever they met, ava would love her, but somehow right now it didn’t seem like the right time to bring it up.

“I kind of sat back, and let them take care of it. Noah has a tendency to take charge of these events. Pro-tip: get on his good side and see if you can finagle your way into getting him as your wedding planner. I think it’s all that business stuff he’s always working on, but he’s really good at organizing stuff, and also I want to see him plan a wedding.” Of course she could wait til her own and ask him to plan that, but that’ll be ages from now since she’s hardly the type to be in a steady relationship. Who knows if she’ll ever get married. “Oh I’m sure they’re well-compensated, but I’m not sure any compensation is worth giving away the first day of your year.” She shrugs, she’s grateful to them anyhow. “Wow you’re even more of a sweetheart than he said.”

“you’re still my baby sister,” he informed her before sighing as she ordered her own drinks and realized that to avoid making a scene, he had to let her do what she wanted. though when she started speaking about the dress she was wearing, he actually shrugged off his blazer and wrapped it over her shoulders. “honestly B, and you wonder why i call you my baby sister who i have to protect.” he murmured before nodding when she told him jasper had said the same thing, “because we both know that it’s up to us to make sure you don’t get into any trouble.” he gave her another eyeroll before laughing. “listen, i’ll socialize that you wear this blazer for the rest of the night.”

“But shouldn’t the baby part of that lose some impact after I hit twenty?” she asks incredulously. B’s glad she’s the youngest, she doesn’t have the kind of patience to do this older siblinging that Duckie and Jazzy insisted on. “It’s a pretty dress, even Mom said so.” Of course she’d also insisted on the shawl immediately after saying that, making it clear that B should probably get less see-through dresses for future parties if she wants to continue living a peaceful life at home. “Fine, blazer on,” she says slipping her arms in the sleeves, a little dwarfed by the jacket, now she looked cute instead of sexy, which was fine cause she wasn’t looking for a hookup just a kiss. “By the way I think I saw your ex around earlier,” she says scrunching her face up in dislike.

“Don’t even get me started - I’m very aware that’s she too good for me.” Jasper chuckled as he looked across the room at Maya for a second who looked like she was well in her element socialising. “Oh you so could, I mean it would be better for his safety anyway, has he not met your brothers before? And who are you looking for - do I need to kill him too?” Jasper asked, a brow raised. “Noah is going to kill you, I didn’t even bring a jacket I can make you wear or I would….and my girlfriend is a grown woman and I know she’s coming home with me tonight.” He didn’t even bother to correct her on the use of the word. “Mom was in the kitchen, she’s been there all night.” 

“Aw that’s cute,” she can’t resist, she loves how happy her brother looks, and she loves Maya for it. But she already did like her based on her interactions earlier, and of course from everything her brother had told her so far. “I hadn’t thought of playing the older brothers card, but you know I don’t think he’s met either of you. Or at least I’ve never met him before so I assume. And don’t worry about it, there’s always a chance he won’t show,” she says a little forlorn. “Don’t worry, with you looking angry as hell standing next to me no one’s going to dare to come on to me for hours. And besides anyone who actually knows me knows better than to try to hit on me at a party hosted by my family.”

she smiled at the other before shaking her head. “i’m okay actually, i’ve got the drink situation handled,” she held up her glass of champagne before looking around the room. “god i can’t even imagine, cleaning up after a new year’s party is a different form of torture i believe, especially when all the streams and confetti come down.” she shook her head before a soft blush took over her cheeks at barbara’s words. “i kind of feel the same way actually, he’s always only said good things about you,”

“Alright, well if you do need anything let me know. Or any of my siblings, or my mother. These are the kinds of events my family seems to thrive at,” she says thoughtfully. “Oh yeah, and also it’s New Year’s Eve so they’ve lost their own party day. I know they get paid a lot for it, but I don’t think I’d be willing to do it even for that much money.” B grins at that, she had been looking forward to meeting Maya for a while now, it’s good to know she didn’t cock anything up yet. “Not a surprise though, there are only good things to be said about me.”

“no you will not have what i’m having,” he rolled his eyes, shaking his head at the bartender who was thankfully on his payroll. “i’m tucked away and observing the party B, someone’s got to do that too you know.” he gave her another smile even though he knew she was right about him having to join the party. “i love you too, and i don’t know if i have it figured out, we’ll see how the night goes. you don’t always have to plan these..wait, what are you wearing?” he frowned as he took in her attire for the night. “god B, this looks like something from a lingerie catalogue. you’re going to freeze to death outside.” he mumbled before linking her arm with his. “maybe we’ll both spend the evening together, that way i don’t have to worry about someone looking at you the wrong way.”

“I’m twenty-three c’mon Noah, I’m more than old enough to get wasted legally, and this is the last chance I’ll have to do it this year,” she turns puppy eyes on the bartender, hoping she can sway him to her side. “Or I guess I’ll settle for a cosmo. Do you suppose that’s New Year’s Eve appropriate? I wonder if I can get a drink to match my dress,” she thinks out loud eying the lace thoughtfully. “Can you make me a Black Devil?” she looks back at her brother, “Okay but even Batman would be socializing right now, just saying.” B shakes her head, laughing at her brother’s protective tendencies, “Jazzy said something similar, but don’t worry, Mama said she’d find me a shawl or something. You need to wander around if you’re going to find your midnight kiss, and so do I so I can’t quite stick to you all night.”

“First of all, I saw you talking to Maya….and you better have been behaving.” Jasper warned as he snuck an arm around his sisters waist, dragging her away from the waste of space that had clearly been trying to chat her up. “Secondly, what the hell were you doing talking to him and thirdly what the hell are you wearing? Has Noah seen this?” The male scowled as he looked down at her with a shake of his head. “You can see far to much flesh.” He scoffed, which was ironic because he had no arguments when Maya wore such dresses. 

“First of all, she’s lovely, and I can’t imagine what she sees in you brother dear,” she teases, joking because everyone knows she thinks the world of her family. “Second of all, he came up to me and I can’t exactly be rude while I’m hosting, but don’t worry I wasn’t flirting back. He’s not cute enough, and also I’m looking for someone. Thirdly, it’s a beautiful dress, and it’s not nearly as bad as what your girlfriend is wearing so you have no high ground,” she answers, checking her own reflection out. “Nope, and hopefully by the time he finds me I’ll have a cardigan on. Have you seen Mom? I was gonna borrow one of hers.”

maya had heard of and seen most of the other breckenridges during her time here at wintergreen but she’d never really interacted with any of them until now. so when she caught sight of the youngest, she gave her a smile even if the gaze she gave her was a little uncomfortable for her. “um–yeah that’s me, and no don’t apologize, it’s absolutely alright.” she told her with a bright smile. “but it’s lovely to meet you B, and being the youngest, i’m sure you are the angel of the family,” she told her with a grin. “i mean i know for a fact, jasper dotes on you, and i’m sure the rest of the siblings do as well.”

Thinking of Jazzy reminds her that she’s supposed to be hosting to, which she has been doing in her own way. More making sure people are dancing by dragging them out with her than leading guests to the kitchen or bathroom, but hey the point of the party is the entertainment right? “Are you hungry or thirsty? Or need to use the restroom? Cause trust me it’s better to go now than in a few hours, gosh am I glad I’m not on clean up duty, though I do pity the cleaning service people.” She smiles, “Aw has he talked about me? He’s talked about you too, all the time, it feels like I already know you.”

[bbreckenridge]

maya-sehgals‌:

she looked down at her dress for the thirteenth time in the last twenty minutes and tugged at the hem. she was cold, and perhaps this dress wasn’t the right choice for the night–but then she caught sight of everyone’s stares and well, the attention was very welcomed. she had been glad to attend the event with jasper by her side, but given as it was hosted by his family, she knew he had things and people to attend to. so she was walking up to the bar, choosing to get herself a drink before she bumped into someone who was moving away from the same bar. “whoa–sorry, i guess i wasn’t paying attention.”

“Well hello there,” B practically purrs looking the girl up and down. Man her brother had good taste, “If my eyes don’t deceive me you’re the one who walked in with my brother earlier tonight right? Sorry if hosting has taken his attention off you, I’m sure Jazzy will be back shortly, but in the meantime it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Barbara, but you can call me B. I’m the youngest, and obviously the angel of my family.” That’s a bald-faced lie, but B figures she can get away with it when none of her older siblings are around to correct her. And of course she wants to impress.

why was it always so difficult to organize and host such large scare events? and more importantly, why was it so hard to find someone he actually wanted to engage in conversation with? still, he wasn’t about to engage in stupid small talk with anyone, especially not when it was either going to be about how this event matched up to the winterball, or about the weather. either way–he was happily in a corner at the bar, letting the rest of his family do their best at hosting. “can i get a scotch please? on the rocks, with a twist.” he thanks the bartended with a smile and a nod before turning back to survey the scene. the truth was–the workers and organizers he’d hired had done a fantastic job in changing the entire look of this cabin to embody new years and celebrate the ringing in of the new year.

“I’ll have what he’s having,” B yells cheerfully at the bartender, clearly already a little sloshed. She hops on a stool, and turns to face her brother. “What are you doing tucked away in the back corner? It’s our party, you’re not allowed to wallflower tonight. And we have Maroon 5 playing! I can’t believe we have Maroon 5, live here in fuckin Wintergreen, and you’re hanging out with the bartender.” She turns to the bartender in apology, “No offense because I’m sure you’re delightful company.” And then turns back to her brother, shrugging, “But anyway I love you Duckie, and why are you not out there chatting up a hot person on New Year’s Eve? Or wait, are you waiting for someone? Do you have your midnight kiss lined up already? Because yanno props to you cause not even I’ve figured that out yet.”

“Huh, fancy seeing you here, fully clothed, and I haven’t even had a chance to get a drink in me yet. Do you want to run away now or should I offer you something to eat first?” @jedlynch
