When Kat was with Jason, she couldn’t help but smile the whole time. He made her happy, feel amazing about herself in a genuine way, and always treated her with respect - she honestly loved all those qualities about him. She was his rock, and he was her person. Sipping more of her coffee, she was practically about to spit it out when Jay started talking about them having some fun together. “That doesn’t sound like relaxing to me, Jase.” She laughed again once swallowing. “Relaxing is having a night in, maybe watching a movie, having drinks, and being in our pajamas.” She explained before biting her bottom lip softly. “Although, I can’t remember last time I was slightly buzzed, so i’m probably in need of a drunk night, to be honest.” She smiled wide, knowing she could say these kinds of things in front of him and he’ll never judge. Nodding through how his work and family’s doing, she cared about it, but mostly focused on if he caught her question in mind. In the end, he did and she was happy about the outcome. “Good, i’m glad.” She responded, her eyes telling a whole other story before ripping them towards the ground. “I don’t have anything going on tonight or tomorrow, so i’m free to get wild or have a night in with you if you’re free as well.”

“Well we have very different ideas of relaxation,” It was true. But then again they had a lot of difference, Jason never once seeing that as a bad thing. In a way he needed someone around him that wasn’t exactly like him. He’d tried being around people that were like him and each time it had ended up way more messy and complicated than he liked. With her it never felt like that and he value that about their friendship. “Okay so the whole night in thing sounds cool too but don’t tell anyone I said that.” He joked, wondering if she was asking him to have a night in with her, and secretly hoping that that was exactly what she had been doing. “You know, we could even add a drunk element to it. It’d be easier than struggling to make it home while way too intoxicated.” There had been tons of nights lately where Jason simply ended up sleeping in the back room at Bourbon Heat, but he wasn’t about to tell her that. She’d worry and that was the last thing Jason needed. “Yeah I’m glad too.” Jason hadn’t elaborated too much and that was for several reasons. Ones he was sure she’d get him to spill. “Oh I’m always free when it comes to hanging out with you,” He smiled. “We can have a night in though. I’ve had a bit too many wild nights lately.” Jason shrugged, finally admitting it to himself as well as her.

“Way to kill the vibe, Jay.” Talan joked through a laugh himself as his friend approached with his own commentary of what went down New Year’s Eve night on the steamboat. “But can’t argue with you there. You steal your life jacket for a souvenir too like i did? ” He gave Jason a light punch to the shoulder. “Seriously though, why the hell didn’t I see you there? Or anywhere for a while? We got to change that now, man since you know new year, new us or some shit.” He shrugged.

“Of course I stole the life jacket. I had to have a souvenir too.” Jason laughed. It the past few days it had been a perfect ice breaker with his numerous house guests. He'd probably always have to explain how he ended up with the life jacket but for now it wasn't annoying to him. "I spent sometime by the bar and then the rest of the night until the end is pretty much a blur in my memory which I think is a good thing," He explained quickly. "But yeah we've got to change that now. I've been meaning to come by the shop to get something new done."

“I got the promotion, I got the promotion.” Jo sang as she danced around in front of the building. Not realizing that there was anyone else around, the brunette stopped in her tracks as she looked the person up and down. “You never saw this.”

Jason had been walking home after getting a cup of coffee at cafe du monde. Something that had become sort of a habit for him lately and was incredibly uninteresting and boring. Today, however, there was something to make him laugh. A woman dancing excitedly to be exact. It earning a laugh from him especially when she noticed he'd been standing there. "I don't know if I can pretend I never saw that or if I even want to try."

“Well, you seem like you have a literal spring in your step, so I’d say a lot worse,” she retorted, groaning as she placed her sunglasses back on to avoid the sunlight that managed to break through the windows of the cafe, taunting her with inevitable pain. “Either that, or you handle your hangovers better than I do.” She couldn’t even remember if she’d had fun the night prior at the event, her memories clouded with nothing but intoxication. “How was your night?”

“Definitely not a spring. It’s a down period for my hangover. So long as no loud noises happen I should be alright,” Jason laughed, resting his head on his hand. Thankful that he had chose the side of the table that had less sunshine coming in. He was sure he wouldn’t be able to take the bright light yet again. “I kind of have it down to a science at this point. Which I’ll say I’m a little ashamed to admit.” He shrugged slightly. The night was still foggy in his mind. All he knew was that somehow he ended up off the boat but didn’t make it back home. Instead spending the night in the back room of Bourbon Heat. “What I can remember of it? Pretty good. What about yours?” He teased.

And there it was — a new day, a new year, and the usually sensible medical student found herself filled with absolute regret over her actions. Indiana had never felt her head THROB the way it had been that morning, no amount of ‘brain pain’ from study or anything similar ever having given her such a debilitating headache. And as she sat on a table in the corner of CAFE DU MONDE, she found herself attempting to read her copy of Wuthering Heights — with little success, we might add — to distract herself from any thoughts of the evening prior. Bringing the cup of coffee to her lips, her only saviour at present, her eyes fell to the bacon and eggs before her that remained untouched for a good ten minutes, unable to even think about stomaching the food. “Never, ever, ever again,” she stated to nobody in particular.

Jason had been nursing a hangover all morning. Being pretty sure the only thing that was left to try was coffee after drinking water and taking a few aspirin hadn’t worked. So he practically dragged himself out of the bar and down the street to cafe du monde. It had food and coffee so really it was the best place to go. After ordering a sandwich and a cup of coffee he looked for somewhere to sit. Spotting Indiana at a corner table alone, he walked over catching her words that he was sure were meant for no one and just an out loud thought. “You as hungover as I am?” He asked, sitting across from her.

“No for real, yeah, I was on the boat everyone thought was going down like Titantic or some shit on New Year’s.” Talan shrugged, explaining to the company he currently was with. “How do I remember? ‘Cause I woke up with one of the life jackets still on. Only thing missing was the Mike Tyson tiger in the bathroom – Actually..” He purposely trailed off, reaching into his pants pocket for his phone to take it out. “Definitely think I’ve got some pictures with it on my phone.”

Jason couldn’t help but laugh at the conversation he was overhearing. Especially since he had been there that night. Albeit keeping mostly to himself and simply enjoying drinks rather than mingling with anyone. He waited until he could finally stop laughing to say something about the situation. “It wasn’t that big of a deal. I’m pretty sure everyone only thought it was going to go down like Titanic because most of us were drunk.” He said, again being unable to hold back his laughter.

Indiana hadn’t intended to spend her New Year’s Eve that year on a riverboat cruise, unsure she wanted to ring in Twenty Seventeen with alcohol and friends.. and laughter. Despite the fact that Twenty Sixteen had without a doubt been the worst year of her life, some underlying guilt was felt in the idea of leaving it all behind. After hours upon hours of her mother insisting — if anyone wonders where Indiana inherited her stubbornness, you simply need to meet Adeline Harper — the brunette decided to attend a party that would encourage a positive start to the new year. In turn, Indi swore to herself she wouldn’t drink more than she needed to… and yet, there she was. “—Do you want to get another drink with me?” The young mildly intoxicated brunette said to the person beside her suddenly, gesturing to her near empty glass. “I haven’t even drunk a lot. I think I’m.. only had four.”

Jason had had a pretty shitty year so what better way to end it than to be on a riverboat with his friends having a good time. There were a lot of other parties he'd had gotten invited to but this was the one he settled on. Like with most parties he'd attended, he spent most of the time by the bar tossing back shots and an occasional beer here and there. The guy knew his drinking was getting a little out of hand but he'd deal with that at another time. Tonight was for having fun.

When Jason heard someone ask him a question, he turned to see Indiana and smiled. "That's five but I'm sure I've had more than that." He laughed. "But anyway, yes let's get another."

“Okay, okay.. I won’t mother hen you anymore. I mean, not for tonight, anyways,” she smirked, her lips twisting in attempt to mask the amusement. Picking up some empty and used glasses and placing them into the sink, she turned back to smile at Jay, a somewhat serious but warm smile on her features. “Of course. Any time you need me, Jay, I’m here.”

"Thanks," He smiled, taking his place behind the bar again. According to the clock he still had just over half an hour left. Luckily most people got annoyed with the fight and headed out. The night turning into a slow one. It'd make the time seem longer but at least he didn't have to worry about groups of girls yelling 'woo!' anymore. "I appreciate that, you know? I don't say it often but I do." He told her.

Frankie tilted her head once she heard his words, absentmindedly biting her bottom lip and taking in a deep breath. Afterwards, she let out a chuckle, shaking her head and looking around as she rolled her eyes, before her attention was back on the dark haired boy. “Oh, yeah? Now you’re just teasing me to make me miss on purpose.” And whatever he had in mind surely sounded better than another billiard game all on her own. Much, much better. “You really put me at a crossroads here, Sorrentino. I’m guessing I can’t get both?”

"Of course I'm trying to make you miss on purpose." He admitted, really wanting to win their little wager. Although it wouldn't be bad if he actually did end up having to buy her the drink. There was a chance he'd buy it even if she didn't make it but he wasn't going to let her know that. "Nope. You either win or you lose. So take the shot." He teased, keeping eye contact from the side of the table he stood at.

“I can’t help it. You bring that out in me.” Kat complimented her person as she gave him a friendly wink. “A little bit is enough for me. I wouldn’t know how to live if you didn’t miss me at all.” Once again, her words were true. Even thinking of her losing him is hard on her heart. She couldn’t know what to do if that ever happened. Taking a sip of her drink, her eyes concentrated on his mini facial expressions - even the tweak of his lips were enough to read on how he’s doing. Hearing his confession, she felt her heart and smile sink a tad bit. She hated him feeling bad in the slightest. He was the one to change subjects quickly, she knew that, but she let it slide for now. “I’ve been good, busy, but good. I’m happy to be back home and settling back into the city. I won’t be leaving the county for any huge speech soon, so it’s time to relax.” She explained happily. “How’s work going? Any new girls I need to know about? How’s your family?” She asked rapidly, hoping he wouldn’t focus much on the middle question she spoke of.

"That's such a lie. You're sweet to everyone not just me." Jason shook his head, with a laugh. "Well then you'll be happy to know that I always miss you a little bit when you're gone." How could he not miss her? To Jason, she'd been the only solid thing in his life. He was always screwing things up with whoever crossed his path, but no matter what stupid thing he did she was always there for him. Even when he didn't want to necessarily talk. He looked away from her after he answered her question. Only looking back up when she didn't try to dig for a more clear answer. Jason knew he was only let off the hook for the moment though and that she'd come back to it. "Time to relax, huh? Well we will definitely have to take a night to have some fun. I'll get us into some trouble and you can get us out of it." He raised his eyebrows then smiled at her. "Works the same as always, fun but sometimes annoying," He shrugged. "My family's.....my family. My parents are leaving me alone right now so that's great," It really was since he could never really stand them, but she knew that. "Oh and no. No new girls you need to know about," He teased. "Or at least I don't have a girlfriend."

Lie.

Indiana knew Jay all too well and could recognise a lie when she heard one, but she wasn’t about to push it further and risk upsetting him. That, and she knew the lie that was, “I’m fine”. She knew because she’d used it far too many times this year, it had almost become a habit. It was a facade, a way of masking the way one feels in hopes that by saying it out loud, you’re convincing yourself as well as others that you’re fine — even if you’re not. “Okay,” Indi nodded, pressing her lips together before giving him a once over and then moving towards the bar. “You know, if you do need a break to rest or just—have a nap or something, I can cover for you.”

There had been too many people that Jason had had to utter the words ‘I’m fine’ to and at that point he felt like a broken record. But it was a necessary lie. Him not wanting to explain to anyone what was really going on in his head. Or have anyone worry too much about him. Jason sighed softly when she’d just said okay. He wasn’t too convinced that she had believed him but as long as she was going to act like she did it was great with him. He walked with her back over to the bar, leaning against it. “Thanks. I think I’ll be able to get through the rest of this shift though.” He said, after glancing at the clock again. “Is that offer good for anytime I need it?” It was said in a joking manner, mainly because he had wanted to lighten their conversation.

“The internet?” Ryan shook his head, “no way. You can’t find that kind of material on the internet. It’s too good.” He was convinced that it was still gold despite her reaction. “It just wasn’t for her I guess, but it’ll be for someone I promise.”

“Yeah I highly doubt that.” Jason laughed, shaking his head. “Why not say screw the pick up lines all together?” He suggested. Being a bartender he had always seen girls that walked in reject most guys who tried pick up lines on them. “Maybe try buying a girl a drink. They like free drinks. Trust me.”

It was always a good thing to find a familiar face, even when she expected to be on her own and play the night away. And Jay’s might just be one of her favorites. A small chuckle escaped her before she hummed and leaned on the table, looking at the billiard balls as if she was in thought. Then, she shrugged, admitting defeat. “What would you want?” Frankie could think of a few things but she just wanted to tease. “Lucky for you, I have a pretty open mind.” The girl said with a smirk on her lips, a devious look on her eyes.

To Jason, hanging out with Frankie for the rest of the night sounded a lot better than ending up at a boring party he wouldn’t remember the next morning anyway. He watched her waiting for her answer to his question. When she asked him what he would want he looked around the bar before focusing his attention back on her. “Now see I’d tell you but what I want probably shouldn’t be said in public,” He chuckled softly. “So what I have on my mind will have to wait until you miss.” He teased.

Frankie had tens of other things she should be doing at that moment but was she doing any of them? Not a chance. Instead, there she was, in the middle of the bar, playing a game of pool on her own – nothing like avoiding everything and not do what you’re supposed to, right? Smirking as she saw a shadow out of the corner, the girl leaned on her cue stick before her attention was on the person not far from her. “I put this ball,” the girl began, pointing as she spoke, “in this hole, and you buy me a drink. We got a deal?”

Jason could often still be found in a bar even when he wasn’t working. It often being to get drunk with some of the people he saw on a regular basis. It was fun for him. So there he stood by the pool tables nursing a beer and playing a bit. Already managing to win a good amount of money from a couple of people that challenged them. A voice directed at him caught his attention. Especially since it had been a very familiar one. “Depends. What do I get if you miss?“ He asked, a smug smirk touching his lips.

People watching was one of Dylan’s secret loves, watching the world go by and wondering what shit other people had going on in their lives. He would make up his own little stories for them, pairing them up with other stranger’s on the street, smirking at his own sick ideas. That was the beauty of imagination, it was yours and no one could judge you for it because they’d never know unless you told them. And he wasn’t exactly the most open book.

Whilst lost in thought creating those weird and wonderful worlds, he felt eyes on him and he looked up with knit brows, ready to attack feeling scrutinised under their stare.

“What? Have I got something on my face?”

jay-sorrentino

Jason's shift was close to ending and he was thankful for that. Even more thankful that he was getting a bit of entertainment before it did. “No, it's just if you keep staring at everyone like that someone's going to think your crazy or something.” Jason laughed, knowing it was ironic that he was calling his boss out for staring at people but he'd been watching him along with a few of the other patrons in the bar. The small group laughing quietly as it went on until he finally noticed and said something.
