Watching the man for a moment, Aspen furrowed her brows – not in a sympathetic way, but in a way that conveyed confusion. Why the hell would he tell a complete stranger that? Wasn’t that something you’d want to keep to yourself? Sure, Aspen had come close to death a time or two, as well, but she sure as fuck wasn’t going to share that with someone she didn’t know. People overshare far too much, the disinterested blonde thought to herself. Which put her in an awkward position on how to respond. “Then tell that to the people who dubbed this place Suicide City.”

Beau could tell his comment was surprising, but he’d long internalized his actions and talking about them didn’t bother him. Not talking about them wouldn’t make them go away. They were as much a part of his life as anything else was be it graduating high school or meeting his girlfriend. “Direct me to them and I will. But they probably don’t want to listen to a guy like me after their morbid nickname gained so much success.”

“I guess it helps that you’re so tiny.” Kat tucked her hand into her pocket, stepping backward. “Well, depending on my stomach for green beer, I might call you up. Save a little something for me, yeah?”

“I am not tiny!” he gasped, although standing at 5′8 he was less than convincing, “Can’t promise anything. Nights like this money is flowing and I’m lucky if I get to save some for myself.”

“Pinnacle. Like the vodka.” Indigo smiled to herself; it was like her own personal inside joke with herself. Perhaps naming him that was her own way of coping with her past alcoholism. A symbol, really. “He’s a golden retriever. And he really likes you.” Indigo chuckled, watching as the three year old pup climbed onto the man’s legs in excitement. 

“I love that name. How great. And it’s just subtle enough that the vet won’t give you weird looks,” he said enthusiastically, reaching both hands down to run through the long fur, “I want a dog. I only have a snake. My girlfriend hates my snake.”

katrinaunger:

She tugged her hand back, murmuring an apology. Katrina’s brows stayed knitted but the blonde nodded, “Don’t work too hard then, maybe we’ll see you inside.”

“I’m only seen if I want to be seen. Part of the job description, really,” he said quickly with a half smile and a head tilt in her direction.

aspen-whitlock:

“Obviously,” Aspen rolled her eyes. “But the constant dark and dreary weather doesn’t exactly help.”

“I attempted suicide when I lived by a California beach and when I lived here,” he said bluntly, “In my experience, weather was irrelevant.”

katrinaunger:

The male’s eagerness to waltz away interested the blonde and Kat reached for his arm to steady him, brows knitting together. She was nosy, an awful vice, but her query was followed with a laugh. “Hey there, where’s the fire?”

Beau looked back at her, glancing down at her grip on his arm with an expression, not exactly angry but not very nice either. “I’m working,” he told her, oversimplifying.

Marisol raised her eyebrow, “would you though? I mean, the amount of people who are constantly watching your move and judging every single thing you do.” It wasn’t something Marisol enjoyed, though attention was nothing new to her. “At a point but past trends are coming back, which isn’t really person led.”

Beau laughed, pulling out his phone to show her something from over a year ago now. An article online, pictures of him with multiple women, clearly sex workers, and a headline clarifying exactly what Beau, the son of a presidential candidate, was going to do with those women. “I had a brief time of fame like that. Ted Cruz hired people to follow me around. It was worth it, and I didn’t even get paid for it.”

Pinnacle, noticing that a stranger wanted to pay him some attention, was suddenly wagging his tail quickly and whining to allow Indigo to let him closer to the man. “Sure, he loves people.” Indigo smiled warmly, allowing Pinnacle to wander over to the man and rub up against him. “See?”

“Hey buddy,” Beau said in a childish voice, reaching down to pet him, “He’s so cute. What’s his name? What kind of dog is he? I wish I had a dog,” Beau said, unable to restrain himself from speaking every thought that popped into his head.

Claudia took the spot beside him, her eyes on her camera as she goes through her photos “Thanks, I’ll try not to bother you, ” she said to him, before she lifted her camera to take a picture. “I would have bothered someone else, but I have a pretty great view of what I need from here.” 

Beau wasn’t exactly sure what about this spot had the best view for a photograph, in fact, there wasn’t much around this specific drop off point that was picturesque at all. “Whatcha taking a picture of?” he asked, leaning over slightly to look at the camera screen.

“No surprise this city has the highest suicide rates,” Aspen pondered aloud, though the rain didn’t really bother her. In fact, she quite liked it – she always had.

He gave her a bit of a weird expression- half confusion, half disapproval. “I think people who commit suicide are thinking about a lot more than the weather.”

“I’m sooo sorry!” Jaron apologised again, as he held the male’s wrists gently and pulled them away from his face, so he could inspect any damage. “Did I hurt you? Look at me, are you okay?” Of course, he was slightly panicking. He’d literally just moved to Seattle and now he’d thrown a door into a complete strangers face. “You look okay.. I mean, your face is still handsome..” 

[beau-alex-blog]

Beau jerked away from him as he touched him, “Yeah, you fucking hurt me,” he said, reacting much stronger than the bump to his nose elicited. “Well, it better. This is the money maker right here,” he said, gesturing to his face before rubbing at the blood that was starting to drip from his nose.

“Okay, good. I don’t want to end up on that show. I don’t need that kind of exposure.” Edie laughed for a moment, before nodding. “Of course, you’re getting a cut! We can have a whole business set up. We’ll be raking it in within a month.”

“Here’s an idea- you tell your sugar daddy that you’ve got a hot friend who’d be interested in one of his rich friends, but that hot friend is just us again,” he suggested, smirking with a nod, “I’ve got two phones, so we can keep at least three going at one time.”

“That is true, sort of. Sometimes people do pay well over a thousand just for the name. The name Vera Wang goes very far, very fast.” Marisol shrugged. “People just assume someone else knows better or that they’re ahead of the trend and so everyone else needs to catch up. It’s a great business and way to make money. Hey, I kind of like Yeezy, they’re bringing back old fashion and pricing it high fashion prices. Well, he does help her pick out her clothes, which is cute.”

“If people will buy it, then there’s no reason you shouldn’t make it. I wish I was that famous,” he said with a nod to himself. “People do know better and people are ahead of the trends. That’s how trends work. They don’t exist unless someone makes them.”

[katrina-unger]

Katrina paused in front of the glass window of the pub, assessing her look one last time before heading in. She hadn’t wanted to come, there was something incredibly miserable about being somewhere without a sidekick, but it was Saint Patrick’s Day (not really, but trust Seattle to fuck that up) and of all the things she could use, a free drink sat high on the list. With one more fuss over her hair, she glanced at the door and the patron already heading in. 

“Wait,” she called, rushing over. “How do I look?”

Events like this, where the entire town was partying where the times that Beau was working his hardest. He was in his zone right now, but he somehow heard the voice call out to him. He looked at her quickly, “Uh, good, yeah,” he said, rushed.

[jlrivers-deactivated20170403]

“Yeah, Yeah.. I’m here!” Jaron beamed as he spoke excitedly down the phone to his boyfriend. “The flight was okay, but it felt long and gosh, do I miss you so much already!” He pouted, and walked up the steps to the apartment building he was going to be renting in for the next two months. “Ugh, you best get your butt over here at some point.” He giggled, and threw open the door without even looking who could have been on the other side. Only, he realised this when it was too late. “Oh my gosh, I’am so sorry! Did the door hit you?” Jaron gasped, and pulled his phone away from his ear. 

[beau-alex-blog]

Beau was walking fast out of his apartment as he knew he was running late to meeting with a client. The only thing that knocked him out of his focused trance was a door slamming him in the face. “Fuck!” he shouted, “What the hell, man?” he asked, his hands immediately going up to his face.
