rhiannon-sawyer: 

Rhiannon was already annoyed. She’d come to the coffee shop to get some work done and it turned out to be packed. She felt a tap on the shoulder and turned. Instinctively, she rolled her eyes at his words. “Actually, I would mind. You’re not the only one with somewhere to be, babe.” The term made her skin crawl and reminded her of the many times it’d been thrown at her by complete strangers. Surprisingly, this happened most often within a work setting. “Good form, though. You almost got me. Maybe next time try to be more patronizing.” Though part of her knew her little rant was somewhat uncalled for, Rhiannon didn’t care.

Bryce had a comeback prepared and the words were on the tip of his tongue, but then he heard the girl’s voice and it registered. “Rhiannon,” he blinked, he should have noticed that she was familiar, even from the back of her head. Maybe he would have called her babe if he’d known. “Sorry,” he cleared his throat. “I didn’t realize--...”

heavynyoung: 

Heavyn had a long day ahead of her, today she had three dance sessions to make through and staying up all night was definitely not the smartest decision she has ever made. Fortunately for her, she lived pretty damn close to a starbucks. Unfortunately, it was crazy busy at this time of day and the line was taking it’s sweet time. It was when she was the second to the next person to make it to the counter when she felt a tap on her shoulder, she could have ignored it and the lovely nickname he had greeted her with. However, that would probably just lead to another tap on the shoulder and more persistence. She turned on her heal to face him a little, giving him a smile with pressed lips, trying a little to hide the annoyance written on her features. “Firstly, not your babe. Secondly, I would mind so no, I’ve got somewhere to be too. Now, if you were a mother with a child I might but seeing as how you’re not, I’m sorry, no can do. I’ll order fast though, pinky swear.”

“My bad,” Bryce commented on her firstly. He never tried to make anyone uncomfortable or be patronizing, he just found that sometimes, a little bit of effort could charm someone into doing what he asked. Sometimes. It didn’t always work. “A mother with a child. Of course. Typical sexism.” He held a disappointed expression for a moment, making a tsking sound with his tongue against the roof of his mouth before he shook his head. “Kidding.” Oh well, it was worth a shot. “Alright, that’s fair. I should have known this place would be packed. I forgot how much the people here loved their coffee.”

nicolerxynolds: 

Nicole was lining up in Danny’s to get her favorite burger and milkshake combo when she heard a very familiar voice calling her babe. She did not have to turn around to know that that voice belong to Bryce’s and because he is the ex of a family friend of hers, she did not expect him to call her babe. In fact, she did not expect anyone to call her that. She turned around to face him and tried her best to hide the awkwardness she felt. “Oh- hello. I do not think that will be fair but how about I uhm- how about I order for you instead?”

Maybe, if he had known that he was standing behind Nicole, Bryce wouldn’t have tried the same approach as he did to skip in line. He wasn’t about to show that he felt award, flashing her a smile still when recognition set in, but he did wish that he could reverse time for just a few minutes. Or while he was at it, he wished he was able to go back to high school and change some things too. “That would be great, if you don’t mind. I only want a chocolate shake. If there’s one thing to miss about this town, it would definitely be Danny’s.”

“Um…yeah I’m back for the wedding. I-I left after high school there was just to many bad memories.” She said looking at him before looking down again. “W-what about you did you stay here?”she asked. If he was gonna be friendly then she should be to.

[brycebeaufort-blog]

Too many bad memories. Bryce wondered if some of those were brought on by him. “I see.” He cleared his throat, glancing across the road. “No, no. I left too. I haven’t been back until... now, actually. It’s weird how much has changed but stayed the same, huh?”

queeniemarsden: 

“Nah, people have manners. At least they used to. Literally all they’re doing is making me want to go back to New Orleans where I belong.”

“I hear you. Not necessarily about the manners thing, but the longer I’m here, the more I’m wishing that I wasn’t.”

[brycebeaufort-blog]

Bryce was not a patient man. The line in front of him was far too long for his taste, and with every passing second he could feel his irritation growing. He had to get out of here and he could only see one solution. “Hey babe,” he tapped the person in front of him on the shoulder, “you wouldn’t mind letting me slide in front of you, would you?” He flashed what he hoped was one of his most charming smiles. “I’ve got somewhere to be in... like... nine minutes.” A lie. But whatever got him on his way the quickest.

Emilia looked up when she heard the voice of her  high school bully. She was shocked at how nice he was being to her and just took her sketch book from him. “Uh…t-thanks Bryce.” She said looking at him before looking down again. “S-sorry again for bumping into you.”

[brycebeaufort-blog]

“You’re welcome.” He pulled out one of his friendliest smiles, pushing his hands into his pockets. He was usually good in social situations but he didn’t know what to do in this one. If it was a few years ago, he would flip through the artwork and tease her instead of handing the book back. “It happens. So, you’re... in town for the wedding? Or did you never leave?”

jackiexk: 

“I could have gotten my self in legal problems; shouldn’t act on impulse. Lesson learned” She couldn’t;dnt help but giggle and softly smile back at the man. Jackie was after all clever. “Well I want to; t’s not everyday a guy very subtly tell you that you are pretty”. 

“Well now, I wouldn’t go that far. I’m the last person that should advise not acting on impulse.” It was true. Every decision he made was spontaneous and not very well thought out. It was how he’d ended up back in town to begin with. “Mm. Have you ever considered that you may be hanging around the wrong guys?”

karina-sterling: 

“You’d be surprised at how many people turn it down,” she gave a small laugh. “Since you obviously know my name, what’s yours?” Karina turned towards the male. “What’s your favorite drink? Wait- first, are you legally allowed to drink? Be honest.” 

“If the answer is more than zero, I would be,” he agreed. “Bryce. Beaufort. I’m not exactly finicky but I’ll always go for a Rum and Coke.” Laughing at her question, he shook his head. “I’m offended. I have been legally allowed to drink for a whole two years now. Honest.”

[cfemilia-blog]

Emilia hadn’t been here in a long time. She moved to London because there was an amazing art school that she just had to go to but when she heard that her childhood best friend was getting married she just had to come back. She was walking and looking down at her sketch book when she bumped into someone making her drop her book. “Oh uh I-I’m so s-sorry.” she stutterd still looking down.

[brycebeaufort-blog]

“Hey, no wor--” The end of the word got caught in Bryce’s throat as he took in the girl’s appearance. She wasn’t someone that he was expecting to see. “Emilia?” The memories of the way he had treated her during school came rushing back and he bent over to pick up the book she’d dropped in attempt to hide the guilty look on his face. “I assume this is yours,” he commented as he held it out to her.

jackiexk: 

Jackie at first was slightly confused how ever she quickly catches up to the man’s sense of humor. “Dear lord,  you know what I hadn’t realize i would have hit a man with disability. would have that made me a cruel person” she joked. “thank you for that by the way; it made my day” she referred to his previous statement 

“Exactly. You have to be careful who you go around hitting.” His serious expression cracked then and he laughed, glad that she played along instead of smacking him before he finished his sentence. “No need to thank me for being honest.”

“You want a drink?” Karina looked over to the person sitting near her. She needed a night of fun, but not too much fun. The paparazzi would have a field day if she got a little too carried away. Luckily for her, she came in through the back entrance so no one knew she was here…yet; she hoped the night ran smoothly. “This round’s on me.”

[brycebeaufort-blog]

He’d been back less than twenty four hours and already Bryce was regretting his decision. There was an uneasiness in this town, being there for too long made him feel like he was never going to make it out again. Of course his solution was alcohol. He took a seat by someone he was sure he knew he’d seen before, grinning at her when she spoke. “Now who would I be to turn down a drink with Karina Sterling?”

[norasofiaxsalazar]

“So I was at this little cafe this morning, and this little girl runs up to me, tugging on the bottom of my shirt. I look down at her and she’s got tears in her eyes, and I literally almost died. She said she wasn’t sure where she was and her daddy had disappeared. Than this really handsome man comes running up, telling me that it’s his daughter and looked at his daughter, trying to whisper to her only do that with pretty girls. Just as I was about to turn and slap him, his daughter got this most disgusted, and stomped on his foot, telling him that I was much prettier than some Anne and he still dated her, then stormed off. I have so much faith in that little girl.” 

[brycebeaufort-blog]

Bryce listened to her story, nodding along, ignoring the part about the kid. “That’s a little rude. Not of him, though. Of you.” He raised his eyebrows at the girl, his tone dead serious, the words followed by a short pause. “You were actually going to slap someone with a disability. I mean, clearly he was a blind man. Because anyone with working eyes would know what he said was bullshit.”

[littlemisscornelius]

“Yes that sounds perfect thank you.” Nick spoke into the phone, as his eyes met those on the familiar face entering the room. “Hey I’ve got to go. I’ll call you back later.” He quickly hung up the phone and moved towards the other. “Hello!”

[brycebeaufort-blog]

“Hey. Heard you’re getting hitched,” Bryce commented. Obviously he had heard. That’s why he was there. “Twenty seven’s a bit young to be signing your life away, don’t you think?”

          After work Keira went to take a walk with one of her co-workers. It was her way of relaxing and in some sort of way to get it all out before going home and work on exams, homework and planning her next classes. Who knew that being a teacher would be so h a r d ? As they made their way past a small store a, she heard a vague and familiar song of Earth, Wind & Fire, playing on the background. Not thinking about it twice a small scream of happiness came out of her lips as she said the words: This is m y favorite song. Keira hadn’t noticed her friend wasn’t any longer by her side when started jumping and dancing like a crazy, ridiculous person. Thinking her friend was still next to her, she grabbed the arm of the person walking past her and whined. “Oh c’mon don’t be such a party pooper, dance with me.” 

[brycebeaufort-blog]

Everything looked the same. Bryce had almost expected more changes in the town he’d spent most of his life, but every corner he turned was a familiar sight. He didn’t like the feeling that it gave him. Nostalgia, but a sad kind. The realization that he was getting older. Hands pushed in his pockets, he was too busy taking in the sight of stores he used to hang out in to notice the dancing lady on the sidewalk until her fingers were wrapped around his arm, pulling him back to reality... and to her. Blinking the surprise off of his face, he let out a chuckle, automatically swaying his hips to the beat. She was a pretty girl asking him to dance with her. What was he supposed to do? “You don’t have to ask me twice.”
