open starter 🌸 @fallbrookstarters

Penelope had returned to the cola toss for the fourth time that day, this time more determined to leave with a prize. The attendant gave her a knowing smile as she slid some bills across and was handed the rings in turn. Penny had always been competitive, though when she was younger the need to be in the background weighed all else. Now though she didn’t even pay attention to people passing by or the others behind her in line. Instead her focus was on trying not to think too much about it. A flick of the wrist landed her first ring, then the second, and finally with a small exhale the third one. Excitedly she shimmied in spot before pointing to the prize she’d won, “And that’s how it’s done!” she laughed.

Just as Cordelia was approaching the cola toss with Bentley and his friends in tow, she spotted Penelope going at it and couldn’t help but chuckle. They’d spotted her there earlier in the day and she just knew that the young woman was determined. Of course, she finally made it in and both Cordelia and Bentley clapped lightly for her. “Now if only Bent could play it that well.” she teased her son with her eyebrows raised. He of course rolled his eyes at his mother and decided to step up to the plate to prove his mother wrong. And that was why they were there in the first place, for him to play around and have the time of his life. “Enjoying yourself, love?”

Where: Near Bean Baggin’ Game

With: OPEN @fallbrookstarters

Sylvia wasn’t sure what the Cherry Blossom would entail since she was still relatively new to Fallbrook, but it sounded like a fun thing so she decided to take her son Chance to go play some games. Standing near the Bean Baggin’ game watching her son while he played the game. “I just think it’s so funny how into these games these kids get,” she said to the person next to her, letting out a laugh. “My son has been playin’ this game for nearly twenty minutes now, he’s convinced he’s gonna win,” she smiled, glancing over at him. “I think he wants that big zebra.”

Cordelia’s favorite time of year was the Cherry Blossom Festival because Bentley absolutely loved playing the different games and showing off the prizes he won. This time around, he’d decided to bring his friends from soccer. He decided he wanted to head over to Bean Baggin’ so she took them and smiled when she heard Sylvia, a tilt of her head to follow soon after. “Bentley is quite literally the same. It’s like they think losing just isn’t an option.” but she loved his tenacity and willpower about it.

When Cordelia looked around the bar, sending out a few text messages, he figured he was in the clear for hanging out with the woman a for a bit. He chuckled, shaking his head. “Two, three hours works for me.” Mateo wasn’t going to ever take away from her duties that she wanted to attend to. “you know I’d never keep you from the great tasks of making lunch and getting clothes ready for the morning. You want to come over and make my lunch too?” He teased her, grinning like an idiot in her direction. “Teodora said she won’t do it, so I’m just trying to find someone.” He continued his teasing, keeping the smile on his lips.

The bar owner was well aware that her fiend was joking, but to add on, she kept her cellphone out as she spoke to him. In just a few short moments, Mateo would receive a calendar invite titled ‘Lunch For Mateo’. “I don’t suppose you’ll be late to our meeting?” she asked with a tilt of her head and keen smile. Their friendship was a breath of fresh air for her because not only was he an amazing companion to her, but Bentley enjoyed being around him as well. He saw him as an uncle, even referred to him as Tio, a Spanish word for uncle that he learned in school.

Tobias lifted his eyes up towards her, nodding his head slowly. “It’s what I’ve been hearing around town,” the male said as he put his hands around the glass. “Isn’t the middle school in the same school as the elementary?” He asked, tilting his head to the side. He remembered it being different in Williamsburg and knowing that Fallbrook was the smaller town between the two he assumed it would be like that here too. He took another sip of the drink, nodding his head at her words. “Well, it’s amazing. Thank you.” He chuckled. “My taste buds are thankful too.”

Cordelia’s mind was always running a mile a minute. With her business and essentially acting as her son’s personal assistant, she often had thoughts that collided her own childhood with his. “Ya know... I think you’re right..” she joked with a soft smile in the man’s direction, wiping down the bar top and reaching into her purse quickly to give one of the bartender’s a stack of cash. Whenever it was a slow night, she made sure to make up for their tip in one way or another. It was a tradition she held since the opening. With her attention back on Tobias, she smiled wider this time. “Well thank you for enjoying it. So... what are you drinking to get your mind off of?”

Enzo merely watched as Cordelia put his order in with one of the servers she employed. With her attention back to him, the male gladly echoed the warm smile she offered back to her. “Have you always wanted to own a bar?” He asked her, wondering what drove the woman to purchase the business. Grant it, Enzo had no plans of owning a business. His father had basically thrown him into it, however the male was capable of adapting quite well.

“Well, I managed a nightclub before.. I knew I wanted to be in the business, but definitely not that deep into the nightlife..” she had different priorities now that she was a mother. Managing a nightclub with sloppy drunks and echo chambers of idiocy wasn’t exactly her idea of fun. “But for me it’s more of something to leave to my son. If he wants to keep it, beautiful. If he wants to sell it and focus on his own ventures, that’s just as beautiful.” At the end of the day, from the moment little Bentley arrived, every decision she made was with him in mind.

Hearing her recommendation, Enzo shrugged and smiled. “I’ll try that then. I’m a big seafood lover.” He stated, approving of her choice of dish. The Italian-American, of course, loved pasta dishes. Shifting in his bar stool a little, Enzo looked around the restaurant/bar once more. “How long have you owned Aero?” He questioned, moving their conversation onto another topic.

Cordelia happily tiptoed her way behind the bar to let one of the servers know his order so that they could write it down and deliver it to the chef. Her attention then went back to Enzo and with probably the warmest of smiles, she tilted her head. “It’s been about eight years now? I got it around the time my son was about two or three...”

Mateo shook his head, “You? A side character? Cordelia Valentine would never be a side character.” He wouldn’t allow himself to believe anything of the sorts, not when he knew how amazing the woman was, especially as a mother to Bentley. “You almost done around here, we can go get a drink some place? Catch up some more.” Mateo told her, “Even if I have to spend the rest of the night convincing you that you could never be a side character if you tried.” While the man might not always believe in himself, he was always the biggest supporters to others. Especially the people that he cared about like family.

Cordelia took a look around the bar to gauge whether or not she could take off for the night. She then took her phone out and send off a few messages to her assistant, stepping over to the lead bartender and giving him a quick hug. After ensuring everyone felt comfortable with closing for the night, she smiled over at Mateo and took a quick look at her apple watch. “I have the babysitter for the night, she said she would stay until the morning but I should still make sure his lunch and clothes are ready for the morning. Before that I have to steam his uniform... so that gives us about two or three hours to hang out.” She was clearly such a mother.

He nodded. “Yeah. I’ll take him for the weekend. We can watch Grease while I make sure i’m getting the essence of the movie for the stage.” He told her. “Plus, I want to pass on the need to get the whole family to sit down and watch a one man Greased Lightning performance.” He chuckled; thinking back on his conversation with his brother and how it seemed to only be an Oliver thing that he was now hoping Bentley would get into because he’d definitely perform it with the younger boy. “You’ll come pick him up and he’ll be wearing a leather jacket and have his hair sleeked back.”

Forever grateful for the cousin she had, because he was always willing to be there for her when she needed it the most. The idea of her child turning into a greaser had her rubbing her temples though, because he was already trying to be just like Dylan. Dressed like that would only enhance the persona he was trying to portray, but she was going to give it to God at this point. “I think he would absolutely enjoy that.. just keep all girls named Sandy away from him, alright?” she teased with a soft smile as she started stacking the glasses at the bar.

Enzo nodded at her words, sensing that the woman was somewhat uncomfortable to brag about herself. He offered Cordelia another small smile. “So, what do you recommend? I’m afraid I’ve skipped lunch and I’m starving.” Enzo asked her rather than wasting time searching the menu for a dish when the owner herself could tell him the best item to get.

Cordelia picked the menu up again and gave it a once over. She knew he was Italian from the way he spoke so the last thing she wanted to do was offer any of her Italian dishes to him. Her chef was amazing, but she wasn’t ready for the embarrassment that may come of him eating them so she smiled up at him. “The shrimp scampi is pretty good.” More of an Italian American dish with no actual Italian roots, she was definitely playing it safe.

“Any time.” He smiled and kept his head against hers as they sat like that. He’d always be there for Cordelia and there was nothing that would ever change that. Oliver sat up as she got up and he took a drink. “He might be. Kids are definitely more perceptive than given credit for. I can talk with him, if you want. Come over and he and I can have a guys day.”

The idea of Oliver and Bentley getting to hang out for a while made Cordelia incredibly happy. “What if the two of you have a nice guys’ weekend... give me the weekend off?” she suggested with a smile. Obviously she absolutely loved being a mother, but those moments where she could take time to let her hair down were so appreciated. Oliver was one of the few people she trusted to allow her to do that.

Hearing that the two weren’t together, Enzo managed to smile at her despite remembering his childhood dealing with his parent’s divorce. “I’m sure he will. Long as his father does the right thing, even if you aren’t together.” Enzo stated to her. His gaze moved around the bar, taking in the atmosphere, before settling back on Cordelia. “I’m sure they know. You seem like a kind person.”

Cordelia wasn’t the happiest about the mere fact that she had to admit she was no longer with her ex-husband. The questions were starting to bubble up from Bentley about why his parents weren’t together and she obviously couldn’t tell her son it was because mommy was an insecure, selfish bitch. “I try to be.. I can be a little stubborn but, overall my parents did a great job at raising me.” She wasn’t one to compliment herself, so she figured the best way to admit she was a nice person was by saying her parents were good at their job of raising her.

“Do I, though? Do I?” Mateo teased right back to her, pulling away as she pinched his cheek. It brought a laugh to his lips, despite his attempt to glare in her direction for pulling such a move. “He is a good kid,” Mateo nodded his head in agreement. There were a bunch of good kids running around Fallbrook, though it hadn’t seemed that way when he was growing up. He hoped the kids weren’t better about hiding the trouble they were getting into and were simply staying out of it. “Of course you did somethin’ right with him, Cordelia.” Mateo refused to believe otherwise. “I don’t doubt that for a second.”

Cordelia would probably be incredibly heartbroken if she’d found out that Bentley was secretly getting into trouble. Not because she wanted him to be the perfect angel representation of herself, but because she’d made it very easy for him to talk to her about anything. If he wanted what would typically be called a girls’ toy, she would get it. The moment he expressed any form if interest in talking to girls, she sat him down and had a real conversation with him. Even when he messed up things at the house, broke her vases, spilled juice, she never yelled at him. Instead she turned it into a learning experience for him to realize he could do better, without being scolded. So if he were to suddenly be mixed up in the wrong crowd, she would hope he would feel comfortable enough to come to her for advice. “Well, I still believe it’s mostly his father doing an amazing job. I’m more of the side character.” she smiled and took a sip of her water as she looked at the blank screen of her cellphone briefly.

Tobias let his eyes rest on the woman in front of him as his hands slid forward, wrapping around the glass and pulling it in his direction. “Ivey Bernthal? Dominique Hargraves’ daughter.” It was still odd to address her as only Dom’s, his brother’s name always on the tip of his tongue whenever he talked about his niece and her mother. He tapped his thumb against the side of the glass and brought it up to his lips, taking a long sip of it. He lowered the glass, smacking his tongue against the roof of his mouth. “What is this?” He asked, brushing his tongue along his lower lip. “It’s fucking delicious.”

The name definitely rang a bell for the bar owner, but it was likely someone she wasn’t particularly close to, so she hadn’t truly made a firm connection. But the moment she heard Hargraves, she raised her eyebrows and nodded with a smile. “Ya know, the Hargraves are lovely people. I actually am incredibly happy with Natalia as my sons’ principal. He’s going into middle school now, though.” Cordelia meant it, she loved Nat, as did her son. “It’s a little thing I call the Aero special. It’s on the house this time.”

Enzo listened to the brunette intently as she spoke, nodding his head with interest. “That’s great. Having a good father figure is important to becoming a strong man. My padre has always been one of my heroes.” The man stated. He often wished for a kid of his own whom looked up to him as Enzo did his father. “Ah, fellow business owner.” He mused with a grin. “I admire your dedication to your business, signora. I’m sure your employees do as well.”

Cordelia had nothing but love in her heart when she thought of her ex-husband and their son. The bond that the two of them shared was absolutely beautiful and that was all she wanted from them. Through all of the arguments with Sebastian, she would never discredit him as an amazing father. “That’s so nice to hear.. I want my son to say that about his father, even if we aren’t together anymore.” And she truly meant that. “Well thank you. I sure want them to know how much I appreciate and love them.”

Ava-Kate grinned at Cordelia, recognizing the older woman from their numerous meetings before whether around town or at the bank. “I oughta know better. I just don’t want to put my books on it and it break on me y’know.” Ava-Kate explained, her eyes moving over to the golden fruit bowl the other mentioned. “Honey, get it! That would look darlin’ on a dinner table.”

“That’s why you’ve always gotta thrift here. Back in LA, I would go to the Goodwill in Santa Monica.. all the celebrities drop their stuff off there and we’d all get amazing steals.” Cordelia’s smile nearly went from ear to ear as she raved about Mack’s. “Alright, you’ve convinced me. I’ll get it. I think Bentley would love it as well, he loves anything gold.” Most of the time she made decisions based off solely if her son would get any use out of them.
