“Mediocrity? You’re setting the bar way too low my friend, that’s boring!” She reached out and punched his arm slowly. “Alright, go on. Tell me a joke… And I’m not fond of kids so you’re not allowed to tell me any of your students’.”

“Boring is my middle name!.. Actually, it’s not, but you get the picture.” Ben faked the pain in his arm and laughed a little. “Don’t kill me, if they are too bad- I get that from my dad.”, he warned as he seemed in deep thought, to remember really any joke. “A’right, what do you call a snake that studies past events?”

“You can act like you don’t care, but I know you’re just jealous.” Ren said with a grin, taking the white cloth off his shoulder to wipe the counter. The Italian laughed at the other male, knowing he wasn’t being serious when he asked Ben about the ‘private lessons’. “I mean, who knows? Underage girls could be your thing. Not like I see a lot of girls your age come over.” He joked with him, trying to resist another chuckle from escaping his mouth.

“Whatever helps you sleep at night.”, Ben chuckled while shaking his head in disbelief. “Nah, jail isn’t really my thing, either.” Just after his words, he took a look behind himself to watch the night-life in the bar- it was, in fact, quite full, though most people were standing futher away. “I do firmly believe, that you bring home enough girls for both of us.” His eyes went right back to his friends, not being able to hide his grin.

“i want to believe in you.” she said, her light-brown eyes glittered. “then why don’t we do something really fun? i mean, let’s go to your favorite place or something and bring your fun side out.”

ben started to blush at the young woman’s words. “it’s probably not your kind of fun...”, he muttered and ruffled his hair. “the historical society museum is really just fun for people like me...and I think it’s closed anyway.”

“Thanks. I promise I’ll do my best to not distract you from all… that,” she gestured toward the pile of papers. “Oh, don’t even worry about it. I totally get what you mean - give me a good book, and I’ll completely forget the rest of the world exists.” Ava sat down across the table and opened up a notebook, hoping to get some writing done before her break ended.

“Nah, it’s alright. I’ve been told I shouldn’t spend too much time on these anyway.”, Ben replied while putting the red pen down. “I’m not really the reading kind of guy, ironically.” He smiled, shrugging his shoulders barely visible, before watching the girl for a few moments, settling down. “I hope you don’t mind me asking, are you somewhat a freelance writer, or?”

Ren laughed at his friend with a big grin on his face. There was something about teasing and poking fun at Ben that he loved. “When I say what? We both know nothin’ out of this mouth sounds wrong.” He pointed to his lips still formed in the grin. Ren decided to keep the information to himself that plenty of asses, feet, and even boobs had came in contact with the counter he was touching. He watched the man take the shot with hesitance and glanced around to see if the other bartender was watching him before he poured some whiskey into an empty glass. Picking it up, he downed the glass with ease and sighed in content with the burn in his throat. His eyebrows raised at the words ‘private tutoring lessons’. “Oh, shit, Ben. You got a student that has the hots for you? When these lessons gonna take place?” He asked with a waggle of his eyebrows, teasing his friend.

“Whatever, man”, he muttered, rolling his eyes and duly noted his on-time drinking but chose to not comment for once. Ben took back to his beer, sipping at it with a slight grin. He knew that those were stories, that his friend was always excited to hear. “They’re happeningnever.”, he insisted, letting out a dry laugh. “Ren, these girls are like ten years younger, underage and.. I don’t see them that way.”

“Don’t worry—slightly entertained works for me. I’m not hard to amuse anyways, I can laugh for hours about a stupid joke sometimes. Mostly when alcohol kicks in, but you know… That’s just a tiny detail.”

“Then, prepare for mediocrity and maybe alcohol to lessen that fact”, he laughed, taking in the nightly atmosphere, that he’d missed over work-stuff. “Lets do this!”

“Don’t know her” Felicia responded, only half paying attention. She’d regretted asking in the first place, “Your sister can’t drive?–” she quirked an eyebrow, “and you need to pick her up? is she–twelve?”

“Nah, she’s just lost her license because of how she drives. So I-” A bleep from his phone interrupted Ben in his open answer, and, although he had a feeling he knew what was coming, he still looked onto the display to make sure of it. “This little shit”, he muttered, letting the phone slide back into his pocket. “I guess, that just fell through.”

“You can do anythin’ you set your mind to, Mr. Cartwright.” Ren said with sarcasm in his voice, grinning at his friend. He turned to the bottles lined on the counter behind him, grabbing a bottle of whiskey and a shot glass. Turning to face Ben, the male poured some whiskey into the glass and placed it in front of him. “Why? Would knowing some chick’s naked ass was right on that counter where your arms lay gross you out?” Ren asked with a grin, resisting the urge to laugh. “Drink your shot, have fun for a change.”

“Ugh, when you say it, it somehow sounds so wrong.”, Ben groaned, grimacing but laughing at the same time. “To be honest, it kinda would. But since we’re at storytelling..” He eyed the shot, took a barely visible breath and getting it down, the liquid, he wasn’t all too used to burning in his throat. “Did I tell you about that girl in my history class that asked for private tutoring lessons?”, he asked, coughing lightly.

“No problem, it’s my job,” she shrugged, although she did appreciate the thanks. She got back to work as well, but tried to keep the radio turned down and her humming along to a minimum, unsure if the background noise would be a distraction. Before she knew it, it was time for her break. She usually spent her breaks in the shop, writing or reading before it was time to work again. Ava hesitated a moment before approaching Ben’s table. “Mind some company?”

As soon as he’d settled down to correct all of the tests, Ben seemed to be somewhere else. He had always been like this- super focused on something until the next thing to be focused on came around. Scribbling some note beside an horribly wrong answer, he didn’t even seem to notice the girl until she talked to him. “What? Oh, ‘course not.”, he replied, clearing the neatly stacked papers to make some space. “I kind of zone out sometimes, sorry.”

Ava couldn’t help but smile a little brighter when she found out he was staying - it had been a slow day, and she’d never turn down an extended visit from one of her favorite customers. “Alright. Sit wherever you’d like. Here’s your drink, and let me know if you need anything else. A lot of people don’t know this, but we actually do serve food here,” she spoke the last sentence as if it was a secret, when in reality it was just more common for customers to run in for coffee and be on their way.

Ben took the cup from her, smiling shortly at the usual little smiley face on the cup, before realizing, that he’d didn’t even know her name – the nametag did help him, more or less. “Thanks Ava”, he said, taking a look around, “I’ll find something. Good tip though, maybe I’ll take that up sometime.” He nodded at her with a soft smile and took a seat near the counter, sliding out a pack of papers and a red pen.

“Because I always know where I’m going?” Catalina asked, her grasp on his wrists still as tight as she could manage. Once they were both outside, she let go and started walking by his side. “Alright, I’m your compass for the night, I’ll take you to the best bar in all Portland and the only thing you have to do in exchange will be entertaining me. Is that a deal?”

“No, but you have the grip.” Ben chuckled, not doing anything to stop her but following her outside. “I’m just going to take you by your word and believe you, but I can’t promise you, that you’ll be fully entertained. I’ll try, if that’s enough?”

A laugh fell from the male’s lips, pausing his pouring of a glass of scotch for another customer to look at the other male. “You tryin’ to say you’re age 55 plus? C’mon, dude, live a little. You can be a teacher by day, and crazy fuck by night.” He said, pouring the rest of the drink and sliding it down to a regular customer of his. His gaze fell back onto Ben, bringing his thumb and finger up to his chin to pretend he was in thought. “Hmm. Lemme see. Weird people? Does that one chick with purple hair that came in the other night and started strippin’ on top of the counter count as weird? Wait, did I tell you about that yet?”

“I don’t think I’ve ever been a crazy fuck and I don’t plan on it.”, Ben objected, only to look around with Rens remark. “Y’know, I’m kinda glad I don’t visit you here that often.” His eyes wandered for another moment before looking back to his friend. “Because you did not, and it’s very ambiguous, if I really want to know that a woman danced nakedly where I drink my beer.” His brows furrowed, he examined the bar. “Please, tell me, it wasn’t right here.”

“Trust me, we get a lot of coffee lovers in here. It’s no big deal,” she assured him, offering a small smile. “Not a part of the majority? I can’t tell if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.”

“I would’ve never guessed.”, he smiled. Had it come from anyone else, maybe there would’ve been some kind of mordancy in his voice, but this was Ben after all. “I’d say it’s a good thing, always.” Ben took a long behind himself, there were barely any people in the coffee shop at the time. “You know, since it’s Saturday anyway, I’ll just take a table.”

#ignore the nakedness lol #Ava

“We get bachelor and bachelorette parties all the time. Those are some of the best nights, when it comes to tips. So, that’s just an excuse.”

“Yeah”, Ben laughed lightly, “my excuse to even be here. My kind of fun does kinda look different. Sorry, I’m not that great at.. well, knowing these things.”

“Oh, is she? I didn’t know about that… ” Lina mused, giving Ben a full-on smirk before making the most innocent face she could manage. She didn’t know whether his sister was involved on that or not, she for one wasn’t, but she thought it’d be a witty way to poke fun at him. “Nah but seriously, you’re young, dude. It’s very cool that you have a life outside of school and your students finding out what you do when you’re not lecturing them was just… bound to happen at some point. Now let’s stop talking about this, we have shit to do.” She grabbed Ben by his wrists and began pulling him out of the bar.

“I swear, I’m surrounded by evil, little goblins.” He scrunched up his nose but smiled right after just by the thought of it. “I think it’d be a lot sadder, if I didn’t have a life to find out about.”, he laughed and let himself be rushed out. “Why do I have a feeling, that you know exactly where we’ll go?”

#Catalina #but now that theres skype its kinda okay haha

ren-pagano:

Ren chuckled at the man, shaking his head and shrugging at his words. “Hey, whatever you say, dude. I didn’t say you couldn’t have fun. Just said, yknow, teachers are kinda borin’.”

“Well, the job kinda is sometimes. But really-- who doesn’t get boring at age 55 plus.”, he replied, shrugging. “But y’know I’d believe the bartender-- you see more weird people than I do.. hopefully.”
