“Oh, I do it but having an actual conversation with my own head is kind of sad – I was getting bored, it’s what I meant,” Victoria said with a little chuckle before busying her mouth with another bite of salad. “It’s hard, I’m not going to lie to you. It took years and years of practice but when you’re wearing clothes that you’ll most likely have to return for an event, you gotta earn some skills.”

“In that case, I am glad I can keep you company for a while. Or grateful, is more correct actually.” Jasmine smiled kindly. “Oh, you’re a model?” She asked, fully able to reunify that fact with the stunning face she saw before her.

“We all have our moments where we stop using our common sense.” He teased the girl lightly. “Well accept when you want me to watch The Notebook with you. That’s always going to be a no. Every other time it’s a yes. Enjoy the freedom while you can and for me. It’s going. Same old stuff, punching numbers, stuck at a computer at the office. Of course now with Alex soon stepping up all the family members are getting interviewed and some photo spreads done.” 

“Yes, and for me those always occur when I’m hungry,” Jasmine sais and laughed. “What’s so wrong with The Notebook though? That is such a lovely movie.” She nodded to herself, even if she knew not everyone liked it. Maybe it was too sweet and romantic, but Jasmine liked it. Somehow, it reminded her a little of her parents — the way the man took such good care of his wife. “Oh, is he taking over the family business?” She asked in between bites.

“I’m sure that’s a thing. I mean, I could definitely see myself doing that sort of thing on the side.” He nodded. “Next thing you know, I’m on a subway poster of some makeup brand, flaunting these babies for the money.” He laughed, something light as his shoulders quivered.

“Everything that has anything to do with eyebrows, is a thing today.” She laughed and nodded. “Yes, you’ll moonlight as an eyebrow model. Maybe you will even get a TV ad where you just... wiggle your brows to the beat of some catchy music.”

 “I always wonder why and how pickup line became so over used and outdated. So have you ever used a pickup line?”

“I think it’s just because it’s hard to come up with new ones that are actually good, you know?” She chuckled a little. “Hm, no I don’t think I ever had. I mean, only accidentally at least. Because I do think I might have uttered those ‘do you come here often’ words, at some point.”

“It really would have made my week.” Lucian offered the woman yet another smile, “Well I hope you know that you can always count on me for favors. Especially when it comes to trying your food. I have to admit that I might be a bit obsessed with your cooking. ”

“Don’t worry. Sooner or later you will see me spill something all over my clothes, and probably on a day I’m wearing white,” Jasmine laughed. “I know that now, and that actually means a lot to me — thank you, Lucian. You know I’ll be dropping by with food all the time now, right? At all hours of the day,” she said, holding back a laugh.

“No problemo! I was eating all alone anyway, I could use a company.” Sarah chuckled. “I eat pasta salad sitting, yet it would still end up on my clothes, so I can relate to that on a high level.”

“Well I am definitely here for that as well,” Jasmine said and smiled kindly. “There’s actually a great chance that I’ll spill on myself anyway, so you’re not alone in that boat, I promise.”

gaigehetchmen:

A silent prayer that Gaige hadn’t even been given the chance to make had been answered. He’d only just begun to rummage through his fridge to find something to make himself for dinner when there was a friendly sounding knock at the door. He wasn’t expecting any company, so it piqued his curiosity enough to confront his visitor rather than pretend that he wasn’t home. What he found standing behind the door was Jasmine, his smiley neighbor, with something in her hands. He didn’t know what it was yet, but whatever it was smelled delicious. His mouth was already watering. “You’re a saint…” Gaige said as he took a step to the side, gesturing her in. One day he was going to have to find a way to repay her with more than just his humble critiques.

“Well, so are you— for putting up with this at practically any hour of the day,” Jasmine said with her usual smile. “I hope you don’t mind I brought the dogs.” She looked down at Bailey, the golden retriever sitting to her right, and the brown labrador to her left, Obie. “They tend to go where the food goes, but if you give me a minute, I can bring them back down — you’ll just have to hold this.” She looked at the platters in her hands and then laughed. “I think I might have made way too much for just a taste testing, so here’s to hoping you’re really hungry?” She looked up at him with hopeful eyes, like it would be totally okay for her to keep making food as if she weren’t just one person, because Gaige actually helped her out and liked some of it too. She wasn’t a fan of waste, after all, but she did often need a second opinion, and it gave her a reason to see her friend and neighbor as well.

“Only the bear minimum.” Andy smiled as she watched the other make her way around the counter, “I could ask you the same thing though.” After accepting the hug without hesitation, she leaned back a little, looking her friend over. When she’d texted Jasmine, she assumed that her companion would have been home already. She was disappointed to find out that she was still cooped up in the restaurant well after closing hours. “I could go for a glass of wine, but only if you have one with me.” With everyone gone, what need was there for Andy to make the other work any harder than she already had? If anything, she was there to rescue Jasmine.

“I’m not even a little surprised,” Jasmine said and pulled back with a grin on her lips, her hand staying on Andy’s shoulders for a second as she inspected her. Just making sure her friend was good, before she let go completely. “Oh well, I’ll sleep ‘till noon tomorrow, you know.” She winked even though it was a complete lie. The dogs would be up at seven at the latest, and Jasmine would most likely be putting on her running shoes then. “Well, I never can say no to you, Andy.” She chuckled lightly and went back behind the bar counter to grab them two wine glasses. “— and I have just the wine in mind. New Zealand, and look at this?” She pulled the bottle from the wine fridge and held it up so Andy could see the label. “Isn’t it cute?” Typical Jasmine to get excited about a cute label on a wine, but at least the actual drink was good as well.

“Honestly, if I tried to eat anything standing up, it ends up on my clothes. I somehow am the clumsiest eater. So it’s no sweat - hang out as long as you want,” Aspen answered, a smile spreading across her face.

“It’s the same with me actually. I love food so much that even my clothes attract it somehow,” Jasmine said and laughed quietly. “Thank you so much again, it’s very kind of you.”

alex-matthews:

  “You did not interrupt me at all” he said with a smile, “I think standing while eating is not healthy i believe”

“I actually don’t know if it’s healthy or not, but it’s definitely hazardous for me,” Jasmine joked, smiling lightly. “I’m just clumsy enough to spill all over myself whenever there’s an opportunity to.”

“Do you ever sleep, Andy?” Jasmine laughed but went around from behind the small bar counter to greet her friend with a warm hug. This was very typical Jasmine behavior— even if it were a friend she had recently seen, they almost always got a hug. The restaurant was closed for the night, and Jasmine was the only one still hanging around when Andy had texted her. 

“Are you hungry? I have plenty of food. And wine too, or anything else if you want something stronger. Or lighter.”

“No problem. It was getting hard resisting talking to myself anyway,” she chuckled. “Pasta… well, it requires patience, and practice but once you get used to it it’s not that hard. You know what’s hard? Burritos or wraps, something like that, even more if they have any kind of dressing – that’s the ultimate challenge.”

“You can still do that if you would like, I do that a little too much admittedly.” Jasmine chuckled as well. “So you’ve cracked the code somehow? I don’t know what it is, but anything with a plate, I just can’t eat standing up. I always manage to somehow push the food over the edges and onto my shirt before it ever gets close to my mouth. But same goes for anything with more than two drops of dressing, yes, I know exactly what you mean.” Jasmine laughed lightly.

“Did I have a choice?” He questioned, as he looked up at the woman through thick eyelashes.

“Oh, uh... Yes, yes of course you did— you do, I mean. You always do... Would you like me to move? I really don’t mind,” she said, and wished she had checked a bit more thoroughly before she had just sat down at this man’s table. The last she wanted, was to be an intrusion.

“No problem.” Lilith said with a small smile as she bit into her bagel. “It’s a shit show around here when it’s lunch time. I don’t know why the hell no one works at this time.” Her eyes rolled since it was only eleven and it was just her luck that when she took a break, everyone decided to do the same.

“Yes, I had no idea it would be this crowded. Admittedly, I have never been here at this time of day though.” She laughed, a little flustered but happy that she could sit down here. “It makes no sense to leave it this understaffed when it’s so busy, but I guess they haven’t figured that out yet. Poor girl at the register though, she’s definitely earning her money today.”

chasexmatthews:

Taking a sip from his water glass, he let Jasmine sit next to him with her plate. Seeing her food only to glance back up to her instead. “Maybe just not order pasta salad next time? But then again, how can I say no to you Jasmine. How’s it going?” 

“I didn’t think that far ahead, even though I probably should have when I saw how many people were already in here before I ordered.” Jasmine smiled a little self-deprecatingly. “As long as you can’t say no. Thank you, Chase. It’s going well. I have a half day off from the restaurant today, which is odd, but I am enjoying my freedom. How are you?”

“Wait – you mean, this wasn’t your attempt to have dinner with me?” He asked, clearly teasing. “You’re just using me for my table?”

“Would you like it to be, because I can say yes and actually mean it. Dinner is always nice,” she said and laughed, knowing he was just teasing. “This is a special table to me, what can I say.”
