Thomas wanted to mention something about global warming, but chose not to. He wasn’t a weatherman so he wasn’t entirely sure where this heat came from; even though he had an idea of it. The heat was not his friend, he soon found out after moving to a place where it actually got decently hot. “I sure hope so. I don’t think my British sensibilities can handle much more of it. We’re more the gloomy and rainy type of people.” He chuckled, he was excited for the snow, he actually enjoyed it much more than he thought he would. He hummed a little at the question as he thought. The question was a valid one, he thought. “To escape, I suppose. Try and start up new, small town America seemed like the best option.”

“Ah, yes. So the stereotypes are true then?” Jack teased with a short laugh. He’d probably do well in England’s climate, also more adept to the cool and rainy than the unpredictability of Colorado’s weather. “Me too, though. I’d much rather layer up than want to peel off my own skin with how hot and humid it gets but that’s just me.” Jack knew sometimes the weather conversation could be boring but it honestly fascinated him. “Well you picked a good place, other than the weather. Clearly. How long you plannin’ on staying? Years or just for a bit?” Jack was born and raised in Edgewater and couldn’t imagine leaving, as fun as the thought was.

astrid could feel the excitement thrum through her body. as much as she was taking a break from all the surfing, getting back to the beach was something she’d been craving. just to feel the ocean waves bob her body up and down, to get the gritty texture of the sand beneath her toes, oh and the smell of the ocean. it called to her like nothing else. “you won’t regret this. you’ll get the best beaches with the best food. there’s no better feeling than the sun warming your skin and feeling that slight tingle of heat just before you walk into a shop with the ac blasting. and eating ice cream feels so good in those freezing cold shops. by the end of it it’s almost like you’re dying to be boiling hot again. this is going to be great.” she shook her head at his words and gave a slight shrug. “shit happens, you know. i was torn up about it when it happened, but i’m glad it didn’t go that way. i was too young. i didn’t need that kind of attention,” she admitted. “yes of course. friends who skinny dip after meeting. best kind of friends,” she smirked.

“I’m looking forward to it. Might have to be a few weeks from now when fall break rolls around since I teach but if you’re still up for it, we’ll go,” Jack promised. Sometimes he hated the schedule of being a teacher. Wishing he had a profession that just allowed him to leave at a moments notice but at this point it seemed a bit silly to try and change professions at his age. Astrid’s ramble was cute and endearing and he nodded along with the rest of it, her version of California sounding like a dream. “That all sounds exactly like what I need.” It would be interesting, to say the least but the prospect of it all had him excited for something like he hadn’t been in years. “Yeah definitely. It sucks when something forces you to grow up too fast. I know too well about all that.” Sighing, he wasn’t about to get too into that. “Definitely the best kind of friends. Someone’s gotta watch out for ya.”

after snapping what she believed was going to be popular among her followers,  she glanced up at the waiting patron.  oh,  he’s hot.              well,  she had better get back to work,  before someone complained to the manager about her lack of  …  attentiveness,  or whatever.  but in this very moment,  she found herself eager to serve him.  coming up until she was standing across from him,  behind the bar,  kaia slipped her phone back into her pocket.  “sorry,  my side hustle required my attention.         ever heard of onlyfans ?  you should totally check me out.  i think you’d like what you see.”  her brow quirked up,  now placing her hand against her hip,  her eyes deliberately traveling the length of him.  “so,  what can i get you ?         oh,  and the handle’s @kmurphy,  by the way.”

Her confidence was surprising to Jack as she had clearly ignored him at first, shaking his head at how wrong he’d been in his initial thought. “It’s alright,” he shrugged with a slight smile. He didn’t like to be ignored or made to wait, especially when it was for something like a selfie but he also wasn’t one to complain about something so small. “Don’t really think that’s my kinda thing but I’ll look into it. What is it exactly?” Jack questioned, pulling out his phone to set on the counter as a reminder. “Uh, can I just get a pint of Sam Adams and some mild wings?” He was mostly trying to keep himself occupied for the night and hoped no one would bother him too much, just trying to keep to himself while not being home alone. It was a tricky situation, finding the balance between the two.

He greeted Jack with a smirk, as he slid into the seat in front of him. “Your job has the best ac in town. If you really want to know heat, you’re more than welcome to come down to Al’s and work in that shitty ac” smirk still plastered to his lips as he called someone over to get him a drink. He leaned into his chair, “Don’t worry so much, you look with a little sweat on your face, and you’re hair, hell your hair looks really good” laughing, as he leaned back and then thanked the waitress as she delivered his drink. “besides sweating your ass off, works been alright?” 

A bark of laughter escaped Jack’s lips at Avery’s jab, nodding in agreement. “Alright, that’s fair enough. I don’t think I’d trade in my air conditioned classroom for your sweaty shop, man.” Jack did know he was lucky in that sense, the schools well equipped for any weather that Colorado might throw at them. Taking a pull from his beer, Jack rolled his eyes at Avery with a smirk of his own. “Are those- are those compliments I’m hearing from you?” He teased, smacking his glass on the bar top. “Nah, I’m just fuckin’ with you. Can’t complain about work just yet, school year just started so it feels annoying. Ask me around Christmas time when I’m dealing with teenagers who just want the break to start. What about you? You findin’ time to keep cool or do you just enjoy the sweaty look on yourself?”

“why didn’t you say so sooner ?          anything for your mama.”  pressing her lips together with an exaggerated show of affection,  she eyed the offering of wings between them  —  ah,  he knew her well.  perks of being friends as long as they have.  “i think the only way you’re going to cool down,  at all,  is just stripping down to nothing.  i’m only thinking ‘bout your wellbeing,  jack.  promise.”  though,  a deliberate show of wiggling her brows were given.  it had always been an easy rhythm between two of them,  and when she moved back into town,  he’d been there  —  helping her get perk up,  up  &  running.  she owed him a lot.  with another grab from her drink,  she shrugged,  “other than work ?  sleep.  alone.  with people.  it switches up,  depending on my mood.         what ‘bout you ?  how’s the team looking for the new season ?”

Jack’s mama, well his foster mother but he still considered her to be his mama, loved Amara’s cafe and he swore he was stopping by at least twice a week for coffee and treats on his way to check on her. “I’m sure she’d really appreciate it,” he nodded, grabbing another wing to pull apart. Snorting at her suggesting, he rolled his eyes good naturedly. “Yeah, uh huh. Sure babe, whatever you say.” He knew she was just giving him a hard time, their ease of jokes light and easy. Amara was one of his oldest friends and he loved the comfort that brought him. “I was about to say. You sleeping alone sounds a bit strange. Good to change it up every once in a while though,” Jack teased, tossing his wing back into the the basket where the others lay. “We’re alright. Waiting on a few transfers to come in so we can actually start playing but practice has been good. Gonna end up with the sunburn of the century once it’s all over.”

astrid perked up at his words, surprised but eager nonetheless. there was probably some unspoken rule in the metaphorical women’s safety handbook against doing this exact type of thing, but astrid tended to be too trusting. “absolutely!” she nodded, a smile wide on her features. “it’s perfect beach weather right now,” she added eagerly. her smile faltered ever so slightly at his question. “oh, well before i left i was surfing competitively. my goal was to become a professional surfer and pretty much get paid to surf. i got a little over confident the weekend before my competition and went to a party. i sprained my ankle. it seems like it’s not such a bad injury, but it totally screwed up my surfing. i didn’t even make it in the top five. so i thought i should probably take a break. thats why i’m far away from the surf,” she explained, letting out a soft sigh. “oh! right, introductions. i’m astrid. it’s nice to meet you, jack,” she giggled. her teeth nibbled at her lower lip at his words, slight flush to her cheeks. “well it would be an awesome way to start off that adventure to california, wouldn’t it?” 

Surprised colored Jack’s features as the girl quickly agreed. It probably wasn’t the smartest thing for her to be going on a road trip with a complete stranger but maybe it could be fun and Jack wasn’t one to pull anything. “Alright, we’ll plan it out then. Hit all the great beaches, per your recommendations and get out of this heat,” he chuckled, pulling out his phone to start googling things. Jack frowned at his phone, putting the device screen down on the bar top while he listened. “Well shit, I’m sorry. I can’t imagine how bad that’s gotta feel,” Jack gave her a reassuring smile. “Nice to meet ya too, Astrid. Think we’ll be good friends.” The flush on Astrid’s cheeks just added to the cuteness of her and he turned before he said something stupid. “You’re right. Skinny dipping in the lake before heading out. I’ll add it to the list.”

What's your favorite thing about being a teacher?

Seeing kids actually understand what I’m teaching. When they have that ‘a-ha’ moment. Makes all the trouble worth it.

[jackxbishop]

[ Elijah ]: Sir .. you flatter me. The feeling is mutual. But I'm guessing you knew that ever since way back when.

“I live to flatter. You know that.”

[jackxbishop]

biggest kink?

Marking. From biting, spanking, candle wax... The list goes on. I like seeing where I’ve been and reminders of a good night.

[jackxbishop]

hottest people in town?

Just to name a few.... @amarawashington, @heartlandeli, @kotabear, @drssterling... But the list goes on, honestly. Don’t think there’s someone in town I don’t find at least a little bit attractive.

[jackxbishop]

how big is ur dick?

Big enough to get the job done and then some.

[jackxbishop]

Fuck me, please.

Only because you said please so nicely.

[jackxbishop]

Anyone catch your eye yet?

Yeah, definitely a few...

where's the best place to have sex? (besides rooms and the typical places)

I like a good quick bit of bathroom sex like in a bar or restaurant.

it wasn’t like kaia needed this job.  hell,  knowing that was the reason she slacked off more than her boss would’ve liked.  don’t get her wrong ;  she liked it at rammer jammer  —  how else would she be able to scope out potential clients  …  and well,  someone who’d like to show her what’s up ?  adjusting the strap of her apron,  the skin of her torso revealed ever-so slightly from her cropped top,  she leaned against the bar,  pulling out her phone to respond to the dozens of messages in her inbox,  and lifting it,  hoping to snap a photo in this lighting.  ooh,  that’s a good one.              paying no mind to the patron,  flagging her down.  without so much as a flicker in their direction,  as she painted a sultry face for the camera.  “could you hold on a sec ?  …  kinda in the middle of something.”

A nice cold beer at Rammer Jammer was just what Jack needed after a long week at work. Sometimes he really questioned his decision to teach high school kids and this week had been one of them. The bar was a little packed as Jack shuffled through some of the bodies taking up the space of the main room and he squeezed through a rather large group until he found himself standing at the bar top with a newly vacant seat next to him. Hopping on before anyone else could take it, Jack ran a hand across his tired face and waited to be served. The longer he waited, the more irritated he became until he realized he’d been noticed but just ignored in favor of a selfie. “Take your time,” he chuckled with a roll of his eyes.

what is your favourite thing?

My favorite thing? Hm. Like thing I own? Maybe my bed. It’s huge and comfortable as hell. That makes me sound a bit lazy, doesn’t it?
