“Mm, I’d love anyone who would take it off me too.” She grinned right back at the other woman. The way the words came out worded made Andrea blush ever so slightly. Okay, so maybe she needed herself a lay. Something she might look into at the end of their night. Maybe. “Me too, but I think it should be a cab kind of night.” She’d figure out how to get to her car the next morning after her hangover would kindly disappear. She wasn’t a lightweight exactly, but because she didn’t eat as much as she should have in recent times she did drink, she suffered some of the more prominent headaches. Perhaps it was also because she was getting older. Forty was no longer twenty, even though it did come with more experience. “How is that boy doing, anyway?” She’d known the kid for as long as she knew Jen and so she became his auntie. It was nice because that meant she could spoil him and take him from Jens’ hands when she needed the time off. “Charming is a town where drinking alone is a right of passage.” She grinned, knowing full well she did that too. At home or at bars, Andrea didn’t mind drinking alone. After all, she was alone. Not in a way that would have made her depressed or anything like that. No. Unlike other people surrounding her, she simply didn’t have a kid or a significant other. Not that she minded, she chose to have it that way, but there were those rare times when she came home and there was no one waiting for her that she felt that small disappointment but it was quickly forgotten. She was fine. “Let’s not go there.” Andy wasn’t going to allow her evening flop, she already had the temperament because of it, getting into it with the other woman wouldn’t only push her further down the hole she was digging for herself. 

Andy just pouted at the waited as she allowed the blonde to take the lead on it. She didn’t think twice about the comment and didn’t much care for it. Though she often wondered why in the hell was a beautiful woman like her single. Not in the means of why she couldn’t get a man, but more along the lines of why the fuck was no one bagging that? “What she said.” Andy finally muttered as she took her glass and took two big gulps from it. If anything, it was going to be a disaster, from experience she knew that no hot singles would ever go to an event like that. They were most likely going to get some beer belly men who stopped looking after themselves. No matter that they lived in a city full of hot people, it just simply wasn’t in the books. “Fuck it, let’s do it.” She grinned. “But I am going to need way more alcohol to get through the five-second conversations and hungry eyes that make me wanna gag.” Another grin sent her friends way, while she completely ignored the waited. “Dream man, my ass. I’m hoping to find you one though. My mission.” 

“Oh is that right?” She wiggled her brows teasingly, a light hearted chuckle to follow. Especially when she spotted the shade of pink on her friends cheeks. “Are you sure it is? Because I could absolutely set you up with...uh, him,” nodding towards the ugly, old, tatty dressed man in the corner of the bar, she withheld her smirk and feigned seriousness. “Oh yeah. He’s a real catch. So your type. Bet he smells like sweat and stale beer, mmm.” Okay, now she couldn’t help but laugh. “He’s fine. Spending a suspicious amount of time out with his friends lately. I think he may have a girlfriend,” she paused, lifting up her hand... “Or boyfriend. I don’t care, if they make him happy.” She shrugged, a soft smile on her features.

“Yes, and... Yes,” she nodded towards Andrea while looking at the waiter. “What she said. Way more alcohol than this single bottle.” There’s a grin on her features as he accepts and takes his leave, presumably to return with a free bottle. At least she certainly hopes so. “Hey, don’t rule it out, stranger things have happened.” Jenny can’t help but snort into her glass as she takes a big gulp. “Oh fuck no. No mission, no set ups. no-- Please.” She’s laughing, at least, grinning brightly when the waiter comes back with a fresh bottle and the promise that their food will be only ten more minutes. “Do you know what speed dating entails?” She asked. “Because I’m not sure I do. I mean, I’ve never done it before. I only know what I’ve watched on TV, which is you get about two or three minutes to fire questions at each other and see if there’s a connection. Quite frankly it sounds ridiculous.”

rayanne was practically salivating at the sight of the bag of food, beyond excited to dig into the chinese. “ it’s the best kind of takeout there is & no one can tell me otherwise. i could definitely eat it forever & never get bored. ” she chuckled in agreement, sitting up eagerly as jenny began to lay all the food out on the table. she nodded a little at jenny’s words, slightly disappointed by the fact that no one seemed to have any idea what had actually happened, but really that wasn’t anyone’s fault. a tiny smile tugged at her lips at liam’s appearance, of course only showing his face for the food. “ so nice to see you, liam ! i just love our talks ! ” she teased as he made his way back upstairs after muttering a brief hi to her. “ honestly, i don’t know which is worse. all out war between both sides, or a potential serial killer roaming the streets ? it’s like a shitty game of would you rather. ” she sighed, rolling her eyes — though it was quickly followed by a grateful smile as jenny handed her the plate. “ yeah, it’s obvious that tensions are high but they’re trying not to let it show. you know how they are, just gotta bottle it up & get back to it. ” as much as she hated it, she could understand the reasoning behind it. emotions often clouded judgement & sometimes it was just easier to have none. “ oh, i’m okay — now, at least. i was a little shaken at first, but i guess that’s normal. i think i spend so much of my time worrying about everyone else that i don’t even give my own safety a second thought. ”

“he’s playing call of duty. or-- whatever other game i bought him that puts him on a headset for hours, screaming at his own screen. not sure if it’s a blessing because it keeps him outta trouble... or a curse because i’m forever collecting hours worth of dishes and glasses from the pit he calls a bedroom.” she couldn’t help but chuckle because, annoying so it was, she’d miss the day he moved out and she wouldn’t have him to clean up after. “both? i guess. though maybe a serial killer would be-- i really don’t want to use the word better, but... at least if it was, there’d be no reason for the sides to start a war.” she basically mimicked ray’s sigh and eye roll before she sucked in a positive breath. “oh yeah, i’m well versed in the way those guys constipate their emotions.” laughing, she finished up cutting her food and mixing it all together, mouth practically watering at the smell, she waited no longer to shovel a big mouthful that pouched her cheeks. there’s a slow nod, she’s listening, she’s sympathetic because she feels the same. “i know the feeling. but i think what you need to remember in those times is the people who are worrying for you, whilst you’re worrying for everyone else. it’s an incentive to remember to put yourself somewhere in the middle of people you need to take care of. you’re just as important to others as others are to you. and i for one would really hate to have to come and kick your ass for letting your ass get kicked, or-- something along those lines. basically what i’m saying is don’t do anything that’s gonna make me have to suit up and hit back, because... well, excluding my job i really enjoy being very fuckin’ lazy, ricci. don’t give me more work.” jenny grinned.

a slow grin forms on her features as she let out a little chuckle. “not being a bitch, i think the same.” she tended to bring her own food to work, though it was rare she actually did these days. she had just gotten used to going long periods without eating and then suddenly thinking shit and just popping change in the vending machine for a quick fix. not even the discount they got at the canteen was worth the sloppy meals on offer. “maybe you should say less mayo?” she offers as she half smirked, knowing that that was probably something jenny would have done already. “i feel sorry for whoever he brings home to meet you, the scrutiny— they’d sweat before they even got through the door.” she’s teasing, she knew jenny was protective and in a way, she actually admired that. “yeah i told him i don’t live in the 1950s,” she inwardly chuckles, her comment had been fiery but it got a laugh from the man as well as that much needed distraction she needed before she stuck a needle in his vein. “means a lot.” she placed her hand briefly on her chest, sarcastically silently saying she was touched. “hale’s?”

“you think i didn’t? i did and she muttered snob under her breath. but not quiet enough for me not to hear, oh no, she wanted me to hear. probably hoped i’d cause a little scene but i was so beyond tired i didn’t even have the energy to do anything. i just left and i haven’t gone back since, rude bitch probably thinks she’s won.” there’s a sly little smirk of mischief that crawls on her lips. “i won’t be that bad. i just want him to find someone who appreciates him, i don’t think it’s asking too much.” chuckling, she opened up the car and got settled in her seat. “don’t you wish you did sometimes? bet things were a lot simpler then.” she’s joking, mostly. “that’ll do, i could eat anything right now. but anyway,” stealing a glance over at her before she set off, she smiled out onto the road. “what’s been going on with you lately? any carter sized scoops to share?” she’s teasing, mainly because she’s already grilled cain herself a couple days prior.

66: Do you have a friend of the opposite sex who you can act your complete self around?

@cjmonroe & @caincarterx. but that’s what life long friendship will do to you, i’ve adapted to be one of the “bros” and i’m cool with that. can’t be expected to be filtered all the time, sometimes i just wanna wear sweats, eat like a pig and scratch my ass without judgement, y’know? 

[jenniferyoung]

19: Would you go back in time if you were given the chance?

absolutely not. i worked too damn hard to get to where i am now to go back. i don’t have any regrets anymore, just a couple fine lines and white hairs. which in the grand scheme of things, ain’t so bad. they’re easily fixed with a decent moisturiser and a box of hair dye.

Andrea placed her bag on the chair and sat down, grin never leaving her face. “Yeah, but this still doesn’t mean that you will get to disclose that every time for the future. You get this once. One time only. Enjoy it, as I will make sure to make this the last time.” Both of them had a quite nice back and forth banter, which was why Andrea enjoyed the other’s company so much. She knew, of course, that Jen had an idea what had happened to her. She’d seen some of the scars which never faded, no matter how many creams she used (later she simply switched to a few tattoos, which evidently covered some of the scars to the untrained eye). Besides, Jen herself had gone through an experience that was far worse than her own.

“Are you kidding? I’m off duty.” though her badge and her gun were still with her. At this time, she could never be too careful, and she definitely did not want to be unprepared in case something happened. But she was going to be damned if she was not going to enjoy herself with her friend. Marianne was on duty and a few police officers, so she knew if she got drunk, she’d just place her things somewhere she wouldn’t be able to use it. Even if wasted, Andrea trained herself to get rid of anything that would be of danger to others. “Gimme.” She made the gestured for grabby hands as Jen finished pouring herself a glass. Taking the bottle, she did the same to her own. 

“As if I would ever let you drink alone.” She took a sip of her drink as if to show she was serious and savored the taste of it in her mouth. It was nice to get away from everything, even if it was just for a while. Andrea ordered the same food as her friend, not wanting to really think about, plus she trusted Jen’s taste. “My day?” She rolled her eyes. “With a killer on the loose and this town?” A scoff escaped her lips as she moved to take another sip of her drink. “Let’s talk about yo-…” But she was cut off as the waiter returned. It was definitely too soon for their food and they still had that bottle of wine. Interested, Andrea looked up at him, arching a brow. “Any reason why you’re interrupting us?” She asked, more keep to get her attention to her friend than anything else. “Yes, excuse me, ladies, but tonight we are having a speed dating night, and excuse me for doing so, but you are both so beautiful, I may have signed you up. Feel free to refuse, of course.”

“Mm, love a woman who knows when to take off her uniform,” she teased, wiggling her brows as he handed over the bottle of wine. “I brought my car as well but it’s free parking so we can just catch a cab.” There’s a soft shrug, she figures neither of them would be sober enough to drive by the end of the night and... safety first. “Worst comes to worst I can bribe Liam with pizza to come pick us up, so long as you don’t mind shoving off all the empty food packets from his back seat.” Jenny couldn’t help but scoff. Typical boy, right? So messy. “Oh so kind. For the unofficial record, I do not mind drinking alone, but drinking with you is so much better.” Grinning, she handed the menus back to the waiter and picked up her glass, giving a small ‘ugh, oops’ face before hiding it behind the liquid she took a sip of. “Yeah sorry, dumb question. I’m guessing there still isn’t any leads?” She was asking, but in a way that she hoped Andrea knew she didn’t have to answer if she’d rather not talk about it.

Blue eyes raise curiously to the waiter who explains himself an she can’t help but look instantly amused, countering his words with a “So beautiful you assume we’re both single? Or not a couple ourselves?” Jenny blinked, holding her tight expression for around four seconds before she relented, just seeing the waiter start to stutter and blush, she felt bad. “I’ve never done a speed dating thing, but...” Pausing to look at Andrea, she gives a playful shrug. “Throw in a free couple drinks for us and you have a solid maybe fro me.” Spoken specifically because she didn’t know how Andrea felt about it. Not that it stopped her asking... “What’cha think, Shaw? We can say no and go home instead, but then maybe the man of our dreams slips through our fingers.” Jenny teased. “Fuck it. Yeah, we’ll both do it. I could use a good laugh.”
