True! It helps I can do my job from pretty much anywhere. Sooner would have been lovely, but my fiancee and I kind of had to convince each other to move here. As silly as that sounds. This place feels like a mansion, I was in a flat in the UK. My weekend is great as well! Finally got everything put away in its place.

That does help a lot. And as long as you find a spot you can call home, that even more of a win. I mean, talking about myself, I already put the label home on something as long as it has a comfy bed. It’s a big move for sure, even happier you actually came here. You’re as brave as my husband. He came all the way from England as well. Plus side for us, no more dealing with time difference. It does, right? My flat is bigger than my home in New York, which is quite scary. And I’m not even paying half as much as I did in New York. So far, this place is doing us well. I wish I could say that but my place is still covered in boxes. Don’t think I will get them done anytime soon though.

when ben had heard the news that joe was in town, he didn’t know what to think. would they share his flat ? would he move into joe’s flat ? what would they talk about when he finally touched down ? would he cry until he could’t cry anymore ? all these questions swam around in ben’s head and he couldn’t stop the tide from crushing in. of course he was absolutely elated that his husband and him would finally be together once more — no longer separated by oceans, time differences, projects, or busy schedules. but he was also torn about the whole thing. it seemed like years since he last saw the american in the flesh ( of course it hadn’t actually been that long ) and he had a scratch of anxiety that they wouldn’t have anything to talk about — that there would be an awkward air around the two of them. although  the more he thought about it, the more he couldn’t help but block the negativity out when he repeated the news that joe — his joe was in washington. honestly, it was pathetic, but ben could feel a blush blossom over his pale cheeks when he thought of all things they could do once he landed. they’d be able to hold hands, go on cute dates, have movie nights. he’d be able to snuggle up to the older man as they walked around the town — arms linked and love struck smiles on their faces. they’d be able to make one another breakfast in bed and cuddle. the brit felt like a proper schoolboy as his brain provided him a quick ‘ what to do when joe arrives ‘ list — starting first with ‘ take joe out on a nice coffee date in silver heights. ‘ 

it seemed like a dream the first time that the blonde had seen the auburn haired man in the flesh. he was actually here to stay. this wasn’t like their usual two week holiday where they’d fly in to visit — he was actually staying with ben. no more sobbing at the airport, no more ‘ i’m gonna miss you ‘, no more texts of safe landings, and no more waking up and eating alone. sure, ben had frankie to keep him company when his husband was back in the states, but nothing could beat their banter or disgustingly love filled comments about how pretty the other one was ( typically off ben’s side, as he couldn’t go a minute without letting the older man know how beautiful he is. ) so upon being face to face with the american, the blonde couldn’t help but take both of the older man’s hands and beam up at him, “ let me take you out for coffee. “ he smiled, leaning up on his toes just enough to ghost a peck against the american’s cheek. “ it’ll be like the first time we went out and i was too chicken to ask you out. “

As soon as joe arrived in Lost Lake, he had to let Ben know he was finally there. The two had talked about the move there, that it could be the first time they shared the same town. And even the question came up to move in together. But to be honest, joe was quite scared of that. Not because he didn’t love the either, not because he didn’t want to have him around. But the two never spend more time than two weeks together, and despite all the i love you’s they shared throughout the day, he feared that things could end badly if the two would be together all the time. After all they had the distance that kept everything so normal and so special at the same time. Without the difference, where would they go? He was here to figure it out and he was sure, if the two were as close as always, he would waste no time to move in with him.

For now, it was time to enjoy some coffee with his loved one. There was nothing better to do after all the unpacking of his boxes and the long flight. “I do like that. Yes.” he agreed on the coffee. “Just this time without all the awkwardness between us. And you being too shy to hold my hand.” he grinned, leanign forward to return the little peck on the other’s cheek. Just before he placed a proepr kiss to his lips. “I heard there’s this new cafe. Shall we head there?” he asked, not thinking of letting go of the other’s hands.

I’ve never lived in such a big house before! Places in the US this big go for the same price as my childhood home in Manchester and it blows my mind! How is everyone’s weekend?

@lostlakestarters​

[jcemazzellc]

You can see it either as a plus or as a minus. Plus for coming here and living your dream in a big house, minus for not coming here earlier and getting the mansion you wanted. Okay, mansion is a little too much but I do know that English places are smaller, more comfy then. Anyway, my weekend is going great, how’s yours?

They truly are. The best candies, but I could be a little biased because I would lay my life on the line for a good chocolate and mint combination. Which is why I’m fully prepared to shamelessly convince Olive Garden that I need a million. Hi Joe, I’m Florence! 

Well, Florence, let me go with you and I’m gonna be at your side when you try to get them to get you.. what? A million? I think, two people make the situation more serious. That’s what you need. Let’s wear black clothes, sunglasses. Yeah’t that’s going to be how we do it.

Well than you are officially invited to have a night out with me because I need some wild nights before my tour, it does sound horrible but I adore cats so much, I just can’t imagine not having them with me, they are like my little fur babies, they have a room full of toys but they just like to be around me more, ooh I like you.

I’m gonna take you up on that, definitely. Heard parties with Taylor are the best, can’t miss out on that. Mind me bringing my husband along? He would love to hang out with you as well. As much as I consider myself a dog person. I know if I would have a cat, my life would be devoted to them. That’s just a fact. Maybe the reason I don't have a cat.

As an actor you’re probably pretty bound to L.A. in general, eh? I mean, my band and I even traveled to another continent to have a proper shot. That’s good to here, mate. Yeah, it was pretty epic. We had really good times there. But it doesn’t compare to the Pacific Ocean of course. That’s a good thing, I guess. In this industry it’s easy to over-do it when it comes to partying and stuff. And I find that quiet people are usually the most rooted and down to earth. We’re actually already done with the next album. It’s coming out later this month so there’s lots of promotion going on and preparation for the tour in the summer. What about your current projects?

Well, L.A. is cool but nothing comapres to New York City. This place has just a spirit you can’t find anywhere else. It’s a wonder I actually left it to come here. But you’re right. There’s nothing compared to the Pacific Ocean, the waves, the beaches. Just wonderful. Yeah, I agree with you on that. Though, the quiet ones can be the craziest at the same time. I can say for sure that I’ve always been a loud person and that will probably never change. I’m fine with that. You already are? Congrats, let me know when it actually comes out so I can immediately check it out. How about you do a streaming party in town? I’m sure people will come around then. Well, currently, I am shooting a new movie with the lovely Ashley Tisdale, can’t say more though. But it’s going to be good.

i’m honestly surprised that you actually have your own flat, as opposed to just sharing one with me. am i that terrible of a flatmate ? i mean, i know i hum a lot and sweat in my sleep, but i can’t be that bad. we need to have a movie week. just a blissful week filled with countless movies and cuddling. i’ll have the popcorn ready, but i’m not watching a horror film this time around. i made the mistake of watching one without you, and screamed so loud my neighbours called the cops. it has indeed, been a year — which is insane, but i wouldn’t take a second of it back; marrying you has been the best thing to ever happen to me. you can help me anywhere, love. cashier, stock, floor help, wherever you think you’d be best. you don’t have to prepare anything — just show up and be your cute self will be just fine.

Well, I actually don’t know what I thought when I rented my own apartment here. I would blame it on you not being around, telling me what’s best to do. But I’m sure I can move in with you in no time. Just say the word and I’ll be with you. Though, you have me around every day since I’m helping you with the shop now. Okay, I promise we won’t watch another horro movie. Don’t want you to shit your pants when you’re right next to me. Though, I always thought I made sure that you’re safe with me. Nothing can happen when I’m right at your side. Was that too cheesy? Maybe a little. Anyway, I like to watch some action movies more than horror ones. I wish I could’ve heard your little scream though. That would’ve been fun. Alright, then I will be your guy for everything. I’m having a look around to where I can be a helping hand.

Yeah, I remember when me and my band started out and lived in the UK together. Everyone was really awesome and we felt very welcome. It really helped us young blokes not be too homesick because we were surrounded by great folks. It sure made everything more bearable. That and our backyard pool. How long have you been living in England for? Thanks, mate. Glad we achieved that. But I bet due to your husband owning a music store the dance party at your house never stops. Please, do. I would love to be able to call you a fan. I like to think so, yes. 

I wouldn’t say I properly lived there. I was visitng my husband a couple times, spend some time with him together. But I never stayed longer than maybe two weeks. Then I went back tot he States because believe it or not, I still do have some jobs at times. A backyard pool is the real jackpot, seriously. I would’ve probably never left that place again. Yeah, i mean having some nice records definitely helps keeping the dance party alive. Though, I’m still pretty quiet. Well, as soon as I heard more of you gusy, I’m sure I’m a fan. So what do you do now? Working already on some new music?

13. what’s the craziest dream you’ve ever had ?

Another one, let me think about it… I once dreamed I walking around Central Park completely naked. And the crazy thing is, I didn’t know I was naked. Like everyone was staring at me but I never looked down on me just before I woke up. And I felt totally weird afterwards.

06. have you ever met your idol ? if so, what were they like ?

Through the years I met a lot of great people but actually meeting and working with Queen was the best thing that ever happened to me. They were so cool, so grounded, just cool guys to hang out with. I actually felt like we’re a big family. 

10.  do you believe in true love ? what about soulmates ?

Yes and yes. True love is the best thing that can happen to you and if the other happens to be your soulmate as well, you’re a very lucky guy. Or girl.

14. team new kids on the block, team * n’sync, or team backstreet boys ?

Man, this is a hard question but I have to go with n’sync.

13. what’s the craziest dream you’ve ever had ?

The craziest dream I’ve ever had was probably me believing my mini me was stuck at Jurassic Park. And while this would actually be considered cool, it’s not cool to get eaten alive by a raptor. That freaks you out. It was totally crazy. 

[ohbutterpup]

I’ve gone to four stores this morning, and so far none of them have what I’m looking for. I really just want to put Andes mints in some ice cream, why is it so hard to find a package of them? Wanna raid an Olive Garden with me? They always give them out after a meal, right? (( @lostlakestarters​ )) 

[jcemazzellc]

Andes mints? Never tried these before but they sound very delicous. And now I want some too. Call me in to get them at Olive Garden or wherever we get these. I’m Joe, great to meet you.

Man these last few days have been bloody crazy! Tyson won his fight Saturday. We partied all fucking night into Sunday and somewhere during that I proposed to the love of my life Molly. I mean I had planned to propose but I also think drunk me didn’t wanna wait. So after that, we literally packed up headed up to our new place here and then went back to Manchester to get our things and the rest is being shipped here. So hey I am Tommy Fury, and I am so happy to be here with the love of my life Molly.

@lostlakestarters​

[jcemazzellc]

Hey Tommy, I’m Joe and your days sound like full of things. Hope you will find some time to realx here but I have no doubt, actually. This place is so peaceful, you surely will have a wonderful time with your Molly here. Also, congrats on the engagement. Already picked out a date for the big day?
