“I hate this time of year” said Dylan. He knew it made him sound like a grinch, but he didn’t care. “If I get one more helicopter parent demanding antibiotics because her kid has the sniffles, I’m going to tear my hair out. And my hair is far too good to suffer that fate.” Never mind that over-prescribing of antibiotics were the cause of all sorts of nasty diseases; they were totally useless against viruses like the common cold.

Xavier was sitting at a table in the cafe, his laptop open in front of him. He was in the middle of reviewing a script, making notes here and there. As he was typing, a shadow fell across his screen. Glancing up, he spotted someone standing by his table. “Is this important?” he asked. “My boss wants me to have this script edited before New Year’s is over.” Shows ran on a tight schedule, even during hiatus season. “And I’d rather not have to spend Christmas working on it.”

“So he asked me how much it was to spend a night with me” said Renata with a chuckle, telling the story of what had gone down the previous evening. “I told him that if he had to ask, he couldn’t afford me.” As a madam, Renata rarely slept with clients for money anymore. Only those she considered VIPs got that privilege. “The first rule of being a whore is to never sell yourself short.” Well, that wasn’t technically true. The first rule of being whore was to always use protection. But not selling yourself short was definitely in the top five.

@cntcrtainmcnt (closed starter for Kieran)

Aoife pushed open the door of the bar and stepped inside. It was a seedy place, popular with the members of Irish mafia in Kola. She went there often. If anybody asked questions, her answer was always that she was meeting with a client. It was a plausible excuse, and was occasionally the truth.

Glancing around, she spotted Kieran sitting at a table. She walked over to him and slid into the seat across from him. “How’s it going, Doyle?” she asked him. As she did, a barmaid approached to take her order. She ordered a whisky. Then, glancing at the man across from her, she said “What are you drinking?” She was in a good mood, having won a case that day, and figured she’d buy him a round to celebrate.

❝ i do my best. gotta know you’re audience, right? or, in this case, houseguest. ❞  she waved as she walked out of the room, back to her own to find a bikini. there were sample bags from designers that she still hadn’t gotten into, so she dug through one of them, pulling out an orange two-piece and tossing it on quickly before returning to the pool downstairs. 

❝ don’t i know it. ❞ she says, walking down the steps into the warm water. looking up at the glass ceiling, she smiles. she really did pick the best place. she could see the stars shining and the beach from where the pool was. ❝ i hope he was paid generously for his invention, because it really makes having a pool worth it. ❞

“I hope so too” said Victoria. The princess had never needed to worry about money, but she knew not everybody was as lucky in life. “Honestly, I would probably be in here even if it wasn’t heated” she joked. “Growing up, I wanted to be a mermaid more than anything.” It was ironic. Most little girls fantasized about being a princess, but she fantasized about living under the sea and wearing shells for a bikini top. “I watched The Little Mermaid so often that I wore the tape out.”

“Hey i am the new nurse here, i work here since a week.I am Kayla .”’ she smiled and held her hand out to the other person. 

“Its nice to meet you Kayla” said Elijah, shaking her hand. “I’m Elijah. I’ve been here for years, so if you need help finding anything, let me know.”  He remembered well how confusing the hospital could be when you were new.

Levi starter for @bornxtoxdie

“I am so glad i get to work with you.” he smile at Daphne. “I don’t know if i would have survived it if i had to work with Derek he is just too bossy for me “he laughed 

Daphne smiled at his words. “That’s so nice of you to say” she said. “I’m glad I get to work with you, too.” Then she chuckled. “There are worse things to be than bossy, but I understand where you’re coming from.” Nobody enjoyed being told what to do all the time.

Cian starter for @bornxtoxdie

“Hey can i take your order ?” Cian asked as he handed  one other drink to another customer. 

Today was Fabien’s day off, but he was still at the bar, just as a customer instead of a bartender. He flashed Cian a smile. “I’ll take a mermaid water” he teased. Fabien hated the drinks on Tipsy Bartender. College students had a habit of ordering those sort of drinks, and he never had a clue what was in them. Then, getting serious, he said “How about a bourbon on the rocks?”

“mHey i have a weird questions but i was wondering if you’d like to do a fun photoshoot with me ?”

“That’s not such a weird question” said Adrian with a grin. “And what did you have in mind?” Not that it mattered. He was almost always up for a photo shoot. “Its not like I have anything better to do at the moment.”

Elijah starter for @bornxtoxdie

Elijah was finishing baking bread as he looked at Keegan with a smile “Hows work over there .”he joked. 

Keegan chuckled at the other man’s question. “We’re so busy today, I can hardly believe it” he said. “I’m pretty sure I almost put salt in a batch of cupcakes instead of sugar this morning.” He shook his head in disbelief. “Its been years since I did that.”

blair starter for @bornxtoxdie

“Pais could you grab the bouquet of Roses for this sir , they lay right behind you.” Blair asked as she fhelped the other customer and give them back their change . it was such a busy day close to christmas 

“Of course” said Paisley, turning around and picking up the bouquet of flowers. She handed them to Blair. Smiling at the customer as she did so, she said “Sorry for the chaos. This is one of our busiest times of the year.” She glanced back at Blair. “Anything else you need?” she asked her co-worker.

So far, so good. Despite the pain from the injury she got the previous night, Amber’s shift at the café was going well. With time, she learned to cover the pain, not wanting her friends to discover the truth about her. That was, until a few minutes before the end of her shift. Handing a cup of coffee to a customer, her sleeve rolled up, just enough to show the large bruise that was covering most of her forearm. Quickly, she pulled the sleeve back over it, taking a few moments before looking up at the other. “Is that all?” She asked with a fake smile, pretending that nothing happened. 

Tallulah caught sight of the bruise as Amber was handing her the cup of coffee. Being a detective, she was able to tell when someone was hiding something. And she wasn’t about to pretend she hadn’t seen anything. “Are you okay?” she asked, her voice full of concern. “If somebody is hurting you, you can trust me.” Working in the SVU department meant she dealt with a lot of domestic violence victims. Of course, it was possible Amber had gotten the bruise in some totally harmless way. But she wanted to make sure the brunette knew she could talk to her.

Head was resting in his hands, desperately wishing the throbbing in his head would go away. But this was really all his doing, he could only blame himself for all those drinks he got the previous night. “I’m fine, I’m fine. Just a headache.” Andrei said, finally looking up at the other person. “Sorry, what were you saying again? I missed a part.”

“Take two aspirin and drink lots of water” Wren advised. She dug around in her bag and pulled out a bottle of the pills. “One thing about being a med student is I never leave home without at least two different pain killers in my bag.” She moved to hand the bottle of pills to him. “Speaking of which, I was just talking about the end of the semester. Just one more semester to go until I graduate.” She was looking forward to her residency.

“sorry for the wait.” astrid said quietly, setting the drink down in front of the customer. she paused, eyes skimming around the shop, they were finally starting to quiet down. “i’m afraid we’re always a little unprepared for the post-thanksgiving rush of everything.” people flooding into town for shopping, coming in in bunches when they needed a break and a drink, it made the shop mayhem. she could fix it, hire more people or ask for longer hours, but it would take away from the cozy atmosphere she worked so hard to create. the exact same sort of atmosphere where the owner of the shop would come out to deliver a drink and apologize for wait times. “i promise, things should be back to normal and much more relaxed by next week.” there was a sense of exhaustion in her voice, but no annoyance. the woman was in desperate need of a nap after everything, but it was rewarding enough that she managed a very easy smile in the other’s direction despite it all.                 ( @bornxtoxdie )

“Don’t worry about it” said Camille with a soft smile. “This time of year is crazy for everybody.” As evidence of her words, she gestured to the stack of papers she was grading. “I have to get through all of these before Christmas break starts, and my three year old son isn’t exactly known for being quiet when I try to do this at home.” Which was why she had decided to do the grading in the tea shop while Cedric was at home with a baby-sitter. “But feel free to kick me out if I’m starting to become annoying!” she added. She certainly didn’t want to turn into someone who didn’t know when to go home. Especially when things were so busy.

❝ one more low grade on a microbiology quiz and i might just drop out. ❞ it’s been a crap semester, but thank goodness it’s almost over. she’d never been the best at science, but she did as well as she could. ❝ i feel like this program is sucking my soul right out of my body. hope you’re having a better day. ❞ // @bornxtoxdie

“Microbiology is the most boring science class ever, so I can understand how you feel” said Lennon sympathetically. While he loved science, studying single cell organisms was not his thing. He much preferred learning about sharks. Or whales. Or dolphins. Anything but single cell organisms. Then he added “you look like you could use some cheering up. Want to head to the cafe? I’ll buy you your favorite holiday coffee.”

> @bornxtoxdie​ (Hayden)

Having a 3 month old daughter was a lot like having a timer that went off every few minutes. Aria didn’t need to imagine how her babysitter was doing in the hour since she’d left the house to do some much needed shopping. Emma was not a very loud baby but she was definitely fussy and required 24 hour care, even asleep. Because of this, Aria had been home alone with her daughter for far too long and managed to drain most of her savings. If she was going to start managing at the shop again for more money she was going to have to restock the apartment with food, clothes and baby supplies. 

It was there at the mall running on a maximum of 4 hours of sleep and pure determination that Aria was trying to knock down everything on her list. She’d stuffed the bag of baby supplies in a bigger, dark bag with clothes for carrying convenience and was now searching for Bed Bath and Beyond when a man walking nearby caught her eye. He was looking anywhere but the people around him and wearing a hat and sunglasses, as if trying to look inconspicuous. Curious, she was watching the him pass by long enough that he seemed to noticed. But it was the exact moment that the supposed stranger looked directly at her that Aria’s breathe caught in her throat. 

She let out a shaky exhale, watching as he seemed to recognize her then as well and came forward. There shouldn’t have been any reason for Hayden to be anywhere but Hollywood and the fact she was seeing him in the same town started to put her on the defensive. He couldn’t possibly have heard about Emma, right? Not even her own father knew. “Hayden…” She greeted, closed off. “What the hell are you doing here?”

Hayden had been at the mall to get some shopping done. Normally he would have just sent his personal assistant to do that sort of thing for him, but the last one he’d hired had up and quit when he moved to Kola. Besides, he figured it would be a good experience for him. It had been a long time since he’d done his own shopping, and thought it was part of trying to adjust to life out of the spotlight of Hollywood.

So he’d put on some dark sunglasses, a baseball cap, and headed to the mall. He definitely needed to buy something nice for his mother and father. He hadn’t been the most reliable person in the past few years, and it had taken a toll on his relationship with them. Hopefully he could make up for it.

While he was doing his best to keep his head down as he walked towards the jewelry store, he passed by somebody who caught his attention. There was no mistaking that face. Granted, it looked much less friendly than it had the last time he’d seen her. But he supposed he shouldn’t be too surprised. Women were often unhappy to see him after he stopped dating them. He wasn’t exactly great boyfriend material.

“Aria” he said in an imitation of her own greeting. Then he shot her a smile. She might have been unhappy to see him, but he was unable to resist being his cocky and charming self. He gestured around him. “Its a mall. I’m here shopping.” Of course he was being sarcastic. He knew she wasn’t asking about him being at the mall, but in the town. He added “I take it you haven’t been reading the tabloids.” His fall from grace and subsequent move had been reported by the paparazzi.
