☻ my muse wakes up in your muse’s closet the night after a party. / @gianna-sop
it’s rare that lulu doesn’t remember a thing from the night before. however, it’s rare she goes out and gets anything more than tipsy. that was why waking up in a dark and cramped room was so incredibly odd for lulu. there was zero light shining in, and that worried her. what had she gotten herself into now? sitting up slowly, she rested her hand on the soft wall beside her. it didn’t seem to sturdy and was shaking a bit, so she gave it a gentle push. much to her surprise, it actually opened. as soon as the light hit, she felt the hangover and immediately squeezed her eyes shut. “ i think i’m dead. ”

How many times my muse has called your this week?
once and it was definitely a pocket dial that turned into a conversation
“don’t be ridiculous, i’m not hiding him” babe chuckled before tilting her head sheepishly “but, this is my first boyfriend we’re talking about, so i’m not saying drop the third degree completely just go more good cop than bad cop.” she suggested pointedly, knowing the extent lulu would go for her, because she’d do the same for her in a heartbeat. “no need to do all that, do you want to come over for dinner?”
☆ 。 ▫ ○ — “ SEEMS AWFULLY suspicious i haven’t run into him yet, i’m just saying! ” of course, lulu was only teasing, as best friends did. “ you always have to be hardest on the first! the rest who follow will learn from that. ” lulu was no relationship expert-- she went through them really quickly, not really having time to develop them into anything great. she’d definitely never had anything like what ruth and arlo had. “ you know how much i love dinner. especially one i don’t have to make. ”
☆ 。 ▫ ○ — “ I KNOW we’ve been back for awhile now, but life after greece just seems so dull. like, what’s the point? i feel like i peaked on that trip and there’s no way to come back from it. how am i supposed to just happily carry on as i shuffle people to their tables? i should’ve quit on sight and just stayed back. ” it was all just wishful thinking, of course. lulu knew she could never survive in greece, especially on her own. “ i miss waking up when i want and seeing a beautiful foreign city. although, after awhile, i guess it wouldn’t be so foreign anymore. ”
☆ 。 ▫ ○ — “ OKAY BABE, we’ve been back in chicago for a bit now. you can’t keep hiding this boy from me. sooner or later we’ll run into each other. i’ll beg the manager to give us the same shift, i’ll knock on every door until i find him, or i’ll even follow you. you can’t keep him hidden forever! ”
☆ 。 ▫ ○ — IT WAS rare for lulu and her roommate to be working at the same time, so when they were, lulu always made it a point to go and get gelato during her shift ( when things were slow, of course ). she got to the gelato counter and offered marisol a tight smile. “ hello my dear! what gelato do you recommend for me today? ”
☆ 。 ▫ ○ — LULU SIGHED as she flopped down in an empty booth, groaning as sawyer came up to the table that just so happened to be in his section. “ what are the odds we just get up and go? ” slim to none. they weren’t going to risk their jobs, but after a rough day at work, lulu could only dream of running away from it. “ i can’t take it anymore! i’m tired of the dirty looks from these old people who want pizza at one in the afternoon on a tuesday. ”
babe laughed at the thought of her best friend giving arlo the third degree in front of a bunch of greek strangers “maybe we should hold off on that for now” she suggested tying her shoelaces at the edge of her bed. once complete, she sat next to lulu on hers, with her phone out to show her pictures of the night before. “we went to dinner at a little hole in the wall in athens,” babe smiled flipping through pictures of the food and arlo who was sitting in front of her smiling and goofing off “we had a few drinks” she explained with a chuckle as his expressions progressively got more exaggerated. “then we walked around for like fifteen minutes before deciding we were lost and called a cab” she added as the photos changed setting, some of the sunset and some, selfies of the couple in the cab. babe sighed contently as she put down her phone “so yeah, what did you do last night?”
☆ 。 ▫ ○ — THERE WAS nothing better than seeing her best friend gushing with love and happiness. that was something lulu had always wanted for ruth. she was just a tiny bit jealous. but they’d both told each other numerous times -- your time will come. ruth’s was right now, and lulu was sure to follow. “ alright, only because you said so. but he’s not getting off lightly! ” even though lulu wasn’t at all intimidating. she rested her head on ruth’s shoulder as she looked at the photos on the phone in front of her. “ i’m glad you’re having such a good time. i’m glad you’re super happy. i’m glad i get to EXPERIENCE you being super happy! ”
Jace gave a soft nod, moving his mug back to the table. The soft clink of ceramic against wood brought Jace’s eyes to the source. “Definitely not. Even ignoring the history, this place is—well, you’ve looked around. It’s gorgeous.” Never one to ignore beauty, Jace turned his head to look out the window. A soft breath left his lips. He was quiet for a moment before looking back to the girl across from him, cracking a smile. “And, hey, when we all strike it rich then we can come back.”
☆ 。 ▫ ○ — LULU HAD never been good at history, so ignoring it was pretty easy. what she was good at was gawking at her surroundings, and she sure put that to use in every new place. at his words, a chuckle escaped the blonde’s lips. “ that’s the dream, isn’t it? ” if only lulu had any special skills or had even gone to college. “ i can’t see myself winning big any time soon, unfortunately. so, it’s a distant dream. ”
“the last time well actually it was my first time too, we flew over a storm and it scared the crap outta me.” freddi remembered distracting herself with one of the mini booze bottles. “i think taking care of nerves beforehand might help.” she shrugged smiling as the brunette agreed to the drink “if there was ever a time for a drink i think this is it” she giggled raising the glass.
☆ 。 ▫ ○ — “ OH, WELL that makes sense, ” lulu said with a nod. she rarely took trips by plane-- one of her first had been visiting ruth in chicago. so, she’d been lucky enough to not run into any turbulence. “ hey, i’ll take any opportunity to drink for free, ” she said as she opened the bottle.
