“Sounds like a bummer,” Bec said. She didn’t pry, though. “Well, listen, maybe I need to take a step out of the world for a while and settle down. Not that I’ll stay here forever, but… I’m gonna consider your offer of a place to stay. Is that cool?”

[fck-natalie-blog]

“Yeah that’s cool and if you decide to take me up on my offer, chances are you’ll find me here or Stockyards Boxing, that’s the gym I work at.” she shrugged with a smile. 

[joeladamss]

“I really need to watch the discovery channel more, then I can know cool stuff like this to blow peoples mine.” He chuckled a little and smiled. “Oh well I’m glad it’s not just me. Pleasure is all mine” 

[fck-natalie-blog]

“It’s pretty fun to see their eyes widen to size of the moon.” she laughed lightly.

[fkeros]

“No Luka you can’t drink daddies coffee, too hot, here have some cookie.” Adrian smiled as he handed a small piece of cookie over to his two year old bouncing him softly on his knee. “There we go,you’ve got to stop touching things.”

[fck-natalie-blog]

“He yours?” Natalie asked approaching the man who had become a chair for the small boy. “He’s adorable.”

[becisms-blog1]

“You don’t seem too bad to me so far,” Bec agreed. “The gym? Should’a guessed.” Bec did notice how fit Natalie was. “You really should get out more, the world’s a beautiful place. I would know.”

[fck-natalie-blog]

“Good that means I’m doing a great job.” She smirked. “Don’t worry I’m not like a gym rat or anything, I work there. I would but for such a beautiful place there’s a thick cloud of judgement that follows my like a rain cloud and I’m not up for it to get any bigger.”

❝It happens way too often. Like I need help.❞

“Same I’m always skipping through my Spotify playlists wondering what to do with my life.”

[its-eliasfischer]

“Just got here from New York.” He mentioned as he smiled softly at her. “What about you? Are you from here or do you come from somewhere else?”

[fck-natalie-blog]

“New York? That’s cool. I was born in London -Ontario not England- but I moved here in 4th grade so when I was ten and I’ve been here ever since.” she said with a slight shrug.

“Pleasure, Nat,” Bec said. “But hey, if your apartment’s cleaner than a buggy hostel, I can’t dismiss the thought. I’ll see if I like you first and then I’ll decide.” She grinned and sipped her tea. “You come here often?” she asked with a cheeky tone to her voice.

[fck-natalie-blog]

“I’m sure you’ll like me, I’m not that horrible.” she smirked. “This is one of three places I spend my time, here, my condo and the gym are really the only places I go. On occasion I’ll venture further but y’know.”

[joeladamss]

“Man that is kind of cool, so you can really say that you acted without thinking if you really wanted to…science is totally cool.” He laughed a little bit. “Sorry I’m just being a dork. I’m Rocco.” The male beamed at the girl who he was speaking too.” 

[fck-natalie-blog]

“Yeah exactly, isn’t it? I never used to think so but now that I’m sort of paying attention to it I’m sort of like ‘who knew?’” she agreed. “Don’t worry about it, I dork out all the time. It’s nice to meet you Rocco, I’m Natalie.”

[askboxmemes]

True/False game. Make an assumption about me in my ask and I’ll tell you if its true or false. Go.

Reblog if you're bilingual, petty, or both.

[helicphilic]

“It is,” Nadi agreed. “Maybe it’s a factor in people being unobservant too?”

[fck-natalie-blog]

“I could see how that gets thrown in.”

[linamcall-blog]

“I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that before and it’s still just as scary as the first time someone told me about it. Do you have any interesting book recs for me? I love learning facts and then randomly bring them up while I talk to people.”

[fck-natalie-blog]

“Well I got that one from the Space channel but the only one I can think of is called violence by Slavoj Zizek, it basically states that the subjective violence we see - violence with a clear identifiable agent - is only the tip of an iceberg made up of 'systemic' violence, which is essentially the catastrophic consequence of the smooth functioning of our economic and political systems. But it’s kind of hard to work those kind of facts into a conversation.”

[becisms-blog1]

Bec grinned at the woman. “You’re right that does sound super weird,” she agreed. “I appreciate the offer. Maybe if I knew your name I’d be more inclined to give it a think. I’m Bec, or Becca if you like.”

[fck-natalie-blog]

“I figured as much.” she said letting out an uncomfortable laugh. “I’m Natalie but most people call me Nat, nice to meet you Bec.”

behind closed doors || natalie & amari

[mochiwrite-deactivated20200223]

Amari loved to design. It was the one constant in her life you know other than her on and off again relationship with Natalie. That seemed to be something she could never let go. And you could say that’s toxic in fact you would be right but Amari thought it was love. It was the fights and the drugs that caused the many fights and breakups in their relationship. Except for this time it didn’t seem like they had broken up. But she wasn’t happy at all.

When she had received the message asking for her to come over she gotten up to get dressed. She hated fighting with Natalie, honestly, and any chance they get to make it up to each other they took. But even as she unlocked her car door and sat into the drivers seat there was this voice in the back of her mind telling her this was all wrong. But she never believed it.

Once she had reached Natalie’s home, Amari knocked texting Natalie on how she was here. A frown on her face considering the prior text messages that had been shared between the two.

[fck-natalie-blog]

Natalie heard a knock on the door and a buzz of her phone following soon after. She let out a sigh, she thought she had more time, the bleeding on her forehead wasn’t slowing down or stopping. The night hadn’t even started and she had already managed to fuck it up. She took a deep breath and quickly taped a small piece of gauze onto the cut. If Amari asked she could just say she tripped? Not even Nat believed that but she couldn’t bare admitting it was from a fight. She quickly ran to door cleaning slightly as she did and nearly falling onto her face in the process but managed to fling the door open out of breath.

“Hey babe.”

She moved out the way of the door to let her in and closed it after her before sitting down awkwardly on the couch. “Listen, about how shitty of a girlfriend I’ve been lately, I just, I’ve got caught up in so much stuff and things with work and the gym....” she started rambling off not even noticing the blood starting to go through the gauze. It wasn’t a lot like it wouldn’t kill her but just so much blood that there were a few little red specks seen through the bandage.

“Damn straight they do - I’d rather get pounded by another dude than slapped by a chick. The long nails and rings aren’t fuckin’ fair,” he laughed, pretty sure at least one of the small scars on his cheek were from getting slapped by a girl in a wedding ring. “I’m Madd,” he smiled, leaning back in his seat.

[fck-natalie-blog]

“Yup, plus we have experience from like cat fights and shit.” she sighed. “It’s lovely to meet you Madd.”
