“I only run when someone is chasing me, that was torture,” She whined, pulling her hair back into a ponytail to get it off her neck. She felt like dropping, so it was wise he was supporting her. “It better be your treat, I have muscles hurting that I wasn’t aware I had,”

[itsconnorabrams]

Connor couldn't help but laugh at her excuse to why she ran. “That’s just not healthy, Autumn.” He chuckled, continuing to support her as they walked towards the nearest restaurant. “You’ll thank me one day,and so will those muscles.” He teased, opening the door for the two of them, grabbing the empty table near the window.

There must be something we can do to cheer you up.

[itsconnorabrams]

I don’t really need cheering up, I’ll be fine.

“This isn’t what I had in mind, Connor,” She huffed, years of smoking pot meant she was way behind him and wheezing. Once he slowed down and she caught up to him, she slumped against him and nodded. “Food. Please. Now,” Autumn agreed.

[itsconnorabrams]

He couldn’t help but laugh at the girl, who was clearly not used to running. Wrapping his arm around the girl, to help support her petite body. “I think there’s a place nearby.” He said, as he began walking with her. “It’s my treat since I made you run against your will.”

[theminadevries]

I am just teasing with you, if you haven’t noticed. You seem so serious.

[itsconnorabrams]

I’ll keep that in mind for the future. I just don’t get your sense of humor.

“I’ll start packing, then. I mean I’m talking about bars. I’m pretty sure they have hosts in strip clubs and stuff. But restaurants? That sounds pretty cool, maybe.”

[itsconnorabrams]

If you need help, I can help you. I never thought of them having a host, but I’m sure some of them do. Okay, I’ll see what I can do.

[theashleywhite]

I can invite you to a drink if that helps?

[itsconnorabrams]

I’m not one for drinking, but thank you.

[theminadevries]

Don’t worry, darling. Secret’s between us.

[itsconnorabrams]

Uh thank you?

[addie-jane]

You’re welcome. It’s nice to meet you Connor, I’m Calli.

[itsconnorabrams]

It’s nice to meet you as well, Calli.  What brings you to New York?

“You should know I hate running and if I ever catch up to you, I’m gonna kill you for making me run after you for three blocks,” Autumn called out as she groaned, running after them.

[itsconnorabrams]

“You said you wanted to hang out, a little exercise never hurt anyone.” Connor laughed, finally stopping so the girl could catch up to him. “Next time, you’ll pick the activity.” He joked, with a shrug. “Food?”

[theashleywhite]

I’m sorry.. – Listen I fucking suck at comforting people so, don’t mind my awkwardness.

[itsconnorabrams]

Thank you. No, uh you're fine, I’m not one to be getting comforted more of the other way around so.

“Like how soon I can have my stuff over there? I get kicked out in like a week, or something. A host? What kind of host? I know there’s hosting where you’re half dressed, I’m fine with that you know, but…”

[itsconnorabrams]

“Tonight if you’d like? Like the kind of host that sits people at restaurants, I don’t know what kind of host you’re talking about.”

[addie-jane]

You might be right about that. I like how you think. 

[itsconnorabrams]

Thank you. I’m Connor.

[theminadevries]

It wasn’t an offer…

It was a statement.

[itsconnorabrams]

Well this just got more awkward for me.

[theminadevries]

I’m just saying…

I can just tell its been awhile for you.

[itsconnorabrams]

Thanks for the offer, but I think I’ll be okay.

[theminadevries]

No – we can’t.

You look like you could use a good fuck though, no disrespect intended.

[itsconnorabrams]

I’m sorry—What?

[theminadevries]

That sucks. {Judah watched his face before looking away and lighting up a cigarette}

[itsconnorabrams]

I guess, I mean it is what it is. Can’t change the past.

[addie-jane]

You have a point. But I mean, it is the city that never sleeps, right? Has to be pretty amazing.

[itsconnorabrams]

I think every big city has that name. The city is what you make it.
