been a long six months.

Hey. I'm Luke. Born and raised in NYC. I took some time away from the city to pursue a business opportunity in Buffalo, but I'm back and better than ever. I bartend. I play piano. And I'm looking to get my girl back. Anything else you wanna know? Just ask.

Text ✉︎ Luke

Liv: Does a bear shit in the woods?

Luke: I've never been to the woods so I wouldn't know.

[lucas-castillo]

Text ✉︎ Luke

Liv: I'm actually a bit disappointed that you haven't figured it out yet...

Luke: ...is it winter in Australia?

[lucas-castillo]

Text ✉︎ Luke

Liv: It's July, yes. Pretty sure the weather's in the 40's-50's so it's not, like, here winter... But it's not summer where we're going.

Luke: Where are we going?

[lucas-castillo]

Text ✉︎ Luke

Liv: I'm taking you out of the country, obviously.

Liv: Already cleared your schedule with your boss since I knew you would complain about that. Pack for winter. We leave tomorrow.

Luke: What? Winter? It's July!

Text ✉︎ Luke

Liv: Please tell me you have a passport...

Luke: What would I need with a passport?

Luke: I have one, actually. From my last job. Why?

[heyhaskell-blog]

Well why don’t you just color me pissed off..?

[lucas-castillo]

I was gonna color you black, actually. You know, like the color of your soul? And most of your clothes.

[olivia-harrisxo-blog]

Okay.. Well do you want me to come over? I don’t know where your new place is but I’m sure I can find it with the address… 

[lucas-castillo]

That wouldn't suck. Will you bring Chinese? Yeah, I'll text you.

[olivia-harrisxo-blog]

…Oh so I could’ve warned you. I’m sorry. I’m sure you and your brother will figure things out. His wife was always pretty nice at least. She wanted you guys to be close. You have every right to complain, Luke. Because maybe your brother barely talks to you, and your mom isn’t around, but you are. I’m home for the night if you want or need company. 

[lucas-castillo]

I'm drunk and it's cold so it's probably not a good idea for me to walk around. Hypothermia sounds pretty crappy.

[olivia-harrisxo-blog]

Are you okay? You shouldn’t have watched that right now… I probably should’ve warned you but if you watched live I really couldn’t. 

[lucas-castillo]

Nah. I watched it on the website today. I'm great. My brother and I will never be close like Adam and Crosby so I won't have to deal with that business problem and my mom isn't around to be sad about my dad, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. Plus, I brought this home from work.

[lucas-castillo]

Watching the Parenthood finale was a terrible idea. Who does that?

[olivia-harrisxo-blog]

Wouldn’t you brush your teeth when you wake up? Then you’re working out with disgusting morning breath. If you keep working out you’ll eventually blow up. It’s inevitable. I know I don’t have to, but if you need more of your stuff… Someone has to go. A bed frame is more of a necessity than a TV, Luke. You just keep mentioning it or throwing it in there and I don’t.. like it. I’m already struggling with trying to be your friend so be casual.

[lucas-castillo]

The first thing you do in the morning is get out of bed and brush your teeth? Who're you trying to impress? If you're gonna go I'll go with you. It's a weird set-up in there. Not for me it's not. ...okay. What counts as casual?

[olivia-harrisxo-blog]

….You wake up in the morning, roll over, and start doing pushups? You’re literally addicted to working out. You’re eventually just going to blow up like the Hulk. Do you want me to go pick some stuff up for you? So you’re buying a TV before you buy an actual bed frame? Okay, it’s great that you counted but please stop doing that. Stop making it a thing. 

[lucas-castillo]

Yeah? Why would I shower before working out. That makes no sense. I make sure to keep it varied so I won't blow up. Don't worry. No. I mean, you don't have to do that. Duh. Essentials first. TV is a necessity. A bed frame is a luxury. I'll work my way up. I wasn't making it a thing. I was just saying.

[principleparrilla]

Sounds like quiet the awesome place. I’ll ask Live if she’ll come with me to keep the creeps away.

[lucas-castillo]

It's a total dive, but it pays well. Alright. Looking forward to it.

[principleparrilla]

I don’t need Ryan to protect me, Luc.

[lucas-castillo]

Bring Liv, then. I'm sure you can play it like you're together. I'm just saying, some of my patrons are obnoxious. And handsy.

[principleparrilla]

Then I shall come one night for a Diet Coke and watch you get hit on by drunk people.

[lucas-castillo]

You may want to bring your boyfriend if you don't want to also get hit on by drunk people. 

[olivia-harrisxo-blog]

You roll over onto the floor… Rolling out of a bed with a bed frame is so much easier. When are you able to get your stuff, and a TV? Living with basically nothing probably sucks. Thirteen months? Really? You couldn’t just say a year, or over a year. It makes me normal. 

[lucas-castillo]

Not when you move straight into your morning workout routine, complete with pushups, weirdo. Well, uh, a lot of my stuff is at Dad's so...not really in the mood to start digging through all that. Trust me, a TV is the first thing I'm buying once I get enough. I'll probably get the Xbox this weekend. Thirteen months, three days. But who's counting? 

[olivia-harrisxo-blog]

It’s probably so low on the ground though. You’re seriously one of the oddest guys…. I don’t get how you can live like that. 

[lucas-castillo]

It's a hell of a lot easier to get out of than a bed. You just roll over. It's not that hard. I mean, I miss TV, but I got the laptop and the free Wifi. And I'll get my Xbox back from Derek eventually. If I'm odd what does that make you? You dated me for thirteen months.
