sit still, look pretty

Iris Tobias 25, Socialite ( aspiring fashion designer ) Could dress up, to get love But guess what? I'm never gonna be that girl, who's living in a Barbie world. Could wake up, in make up, and play dumb. Pretending that I need a boy, who's gonna treat me like a toy. I know the other girlies wanna wear expensive things, and diamond rings but I don't wanna be the puppet that you're playing on a string. This queen don't need a king.

‘’ look, i’ve got nothing to say to you.’’ garrett told the interviewer holding a microphone. ‘’ if you don’t mind, i want to go home without complications.’’ he closed the door of his workspace and headed towards his motorcycle. garrett was trying to untie his tie, but in the rush of this morning, it seemed impossible to do so. he turned to the next person he saw. ‘’ if it’s not much trouble, do you think you can untie my tie? i can’t seem to do it right?’’

From a distance Iris hadn’t been sure it was him, now that they were face to face it was undeniable and she found herself pleasantly surprised to see a familiar visage. An instinctual, albeit charming, grin overtook her lips at her mystery friend’s request, “My assistance can be given, though it might cost you.” Not waiting for his reply, the blonde moved closer to him in order to loosen his tie, “There you go, you should be able to manage it on your own now.”

He’d spent the last five minutes trying to wave down a waiter and/or waitress to no avail. Lukasz knew that he had an air of invisibility around him, but he always thought his blonde hair would pull through. (Turns out, blonde hair is common.) Taking note of the voice, he cleared his throat and slid his way up onto the bar. “Thanks,” he muttered, eyes falling to the stranger and her interesting choice of snacks. “I uh, didn’t realize it’d be this busy.”

“Bars are always busy, getting wasted is a popular pastime,” or at least that appeared to be the case for this particular bar, Iris preferred it because this place seemed to have the best drinks. A glance at her glass was enough of an indication that she needed a refill, it had been her first for the night but most certainly not her last, so she motioned for the attention of the bartender, “What’s your poison?”

“Explain to me when have I ever done anything awkwardly?” Persephone asked with a playful smile as she slid into the seat across from the one her little sister was sitting on and showed the younger female a pout as soon as she saw the expression on her sister’s face. “Care to explain to me why you’re being all Miss Doom and Gloom today?”

[iris-tobias-blog]

“Is that a trick question?” drawing out her words as if she was honestly inquiring, the blonde attempted to keep her expression serious but it wasn’t long before a smile foiled it. A smile which faltered when Seph noticed her earlier brooding, knowing her sister, it would be futile to attempt to deny it, “Oh it’s nothing really, I just found out some the sketches I’ve been working on for the last few months were rejected.”

“Well, their pastries are addictive, so I’m not surprised,” she smiled as he sat down, “What’s your vice?”

[samgonzalcz-blog]

“Thank God. Janey hasn’t stopped squirming since she realized they were all out of fries so this seat is perfect. Thank you.”

[iris-tobias-blog]

“They’re out of fries?” Wow. One would think the thing a restaurant would order an excess of would be fries, “Well, I have some that I haven’t touched if you’d like them?”

Grace chuckled quietly, setting down the glass. “Life happens, those are just perks of living in the modern world. I hope no one was there to see it?”

[iris-tobias-blog]

“I don’t think so...I hope not,” despite the initial embarrassment, Iris found herself laughing along with her fellow blonde, “Though if someone was, I’m sure they’ll be teasing me about it soon enough.”

[derekking-blog1]

“Thank you, your highness.” Derek pulled the chair down, sitting down before unwrapping his food. “This place always this busy?”

[iris-tobias-blog]

“You’re quite welcome, my loyal subject,” the corners of her lips upturned slightly, a soft laughter passing through them, “I’ve only been in town a few days, but every time I come in here it’s quite packed.”

[nolangallagher-blog]

“No, no.” Nolan shook his head, his hand raised as he waved the same. “Come here, I want you to say that to me again.”

[iris-tobias-blog]

“You make my sister insanely happy and I thank you for that, but just a fair warning, if you break her heart I’m going to have to punch you in the throat.”

“Unfortunately, kid, the world isn’t your palace and I can do whatever I want to do. What, you can’t handle being alone?”

[iris-tobias-blog]

“It was a suggestion not an order, but by all means, continue to do whatever you want. As for being alone, I’m a big kid, I can handle it just fine. What about you, can’t handle others being considerate?”

[dilanayden]

“I’d be scared to accidentally swallow whatever you’re chewing like a cow.”

[iris-tobias-blog]

“I’m not sure that’s a legitimate concern, unless you plan on getting close to my mouth or something.”

[adriaarjcnas-deactivated2021102]

“It’s okay. I’m actually just waiting for someone and don’t mind standing here all awkwardly, as you say.”

[iris-tobias-blog]

“Suit yourself,” the blonde shrugged with a smile, “The seat will still be there if you decide you’d rather sit while you wait.”

“You can sit down if you want, no need to stand there all awkwardly.”

[faiithless]

“Ah, fuck. Am I… Am I bleeding?”

[iris-tobias-blog]

“Yes, though it looks like a superficial wound,” with a sigh the blonde motioned to the seat before her, “Let’s get you cleaned up.”
