The wine she’d been sipping like water had finally hit her all at once. She couldn’t remember the last time that she’d been able to let loose and have a little bit of fun and maybe that was why she’d forgotten that it only took a little to get her drunk. Her balance was off as she made her way to order another drink, sloshing what was left of her red wine over some poor bystander. “I’m so sorry, have I ruined them?” Eyes widened as she looked down at his shoes before tilting her head up to look at the person she was apologising to, only to find herself groaning internally when she realises that it’s the same guy she hadn’t been able to stop herself checking out once or twice. “God this is so typical, the hottest guy in this place and my opener is ruining your shoes.” With a sheepish smile, she hands her glass over to him. “I think that would be safest for everyone.” 

With the glass safely away from her, Nate could finally let his gaze settle on the woman busy rambling away which drew a wider smile from him. “Nah, I’m just joshing ya, I’m positive these shoes have seen worse than a wine spill. Might sport a few red patches in the morning, but all good. Nothing that can’t be fixed.” He couldn’t help but be taken to her already, her compliment earning her a chuckle from him. “Well, just my luck that the most beautiful woman in the room spilled some wine on my shoes then, huh? And here I was looking for an excuse to talk to you.” Sticking out his hand, he nodded towards her. “Name’s Nate. I’m sure I can find it in me to forgive you if you join me for another drink.”

Days were busy and even if he were the type of man to enjoy a minute of peace there would have been none to have been had. He filled his time with work, only pausing to either eat or catch a few moments of sleep. There was too much to be done and someone had to do it. His intercom buzzed with an announcement that made him sigh, knowing full well that the door would be opened whether he accepted the visitor or not. “Something I can do for you, Miss Ahn?”

There was so much to catch up on after her trip to Paris, so many men that fell at her feet while she wandered around the city, however one still stood out to her at the back of her mind. How many times was he going to reject her advances? It drove her crazy, knowing he was out of reach and not like the other men who swooned at the sight of her and with a bag of two takeout containers in hand, Suki closed the door behind her, a woman on a mission. “You make me sound like my mother — it’s Suki, or we can decide on something else you could call me,” she spoke, sauntering into his office and dropping the bags on his table. “Tell me, when was the last time you ate?”

With her own closets and cupboards full to the brim with new and old season clothes, Kendall had taken to storing some of her things in her neighbour’s apartment. Digging through to find the dress she had in mind for that evenings party, she heard Dominic return, speaking without turning around. “You know you really have to sort out your closest space. I thought you were better than just throwing everything in. Get some colour grouping going on at least. Or even just keeping shirts together. Has being friends with me taught you nothing?”

“Uh, no I don’t,” Dominic countered with the bagel in his hand, speaking mid-chew as he kicked the door shut. It wasn’t a surprise to find Kendall at his place when she had a spare key for the times he wasn’t around, and mostly because his place was as much hers as it was his. “It’s a closet, it has shelves. I have clothes. Clothes go on shelves and that’s about as much as you can ask from me, Ken, ‘cause if I had my way they would all end up on the floor. If you’re so bothered about it, no one’s stopping you from grouping it yourself. Why do you think I let you stick around?”

Bouncing on her toes slightly as she loitered in the corridor she hoped led to his office, Zoe waved wildly as she saw him approaching. “Hey, do you have a minute?” Barely waiting for his answer, the blonde carried on with all her words tumbling out of her mouth before she lost her nerve to pitch one of her more unlikely plans. “So I know this is gonna sound crazy but please just hear me out - it could make our lives so much easier.”

“Yeah, but you gotta walk with me,” he told her, already striding round the corner out of his office towards the next errand his boss commanded him to do. Samir arched a brow towards her with a dry chuckle, unsure where this was going but his mind was more preoccupied with the list he had to do for the day. “Yeah huh. Easy. I like that word. Crazy, not so much.”

The way her life had changed so completely was something that Laurel never forgot when moving to New York had been one of the biggest decisions that she’d ever made, even knowing it was the right thing to do. But finally feeling able to live out her life the way she wanted was easily worth it, especially with her girlfriend by her side. Hearing the latch click, she made her way into the door frame, tone chiding but fully intended just to tease. “And what time do you call this?”

“I’m sorry babe,” came Sabine’s quick apology as she closed the door behind her, though a smile begun creeping up her lips. Another late night, another party that crawled into the wee hours of the morning with her dragged along by her friends. Her only thought was to return home as soon as possible when the fact that Laurel was living with her was a mere miracle. “I wanted to stop at one, but Brie took me to another, and another, and well. The rest is history.” Coming up to face her, Sabine slid an arm around her girlfriend’s waist with a pout forming. “Forgive me?”

“Oh come on, that testosterone fulled persona every guy breaks out to save face.” Although the more she spoke to him the more Ricki was convinced that maybe he was the one guy that didn’t hold true for. “Aw, I think saving a kitty is plenty heroic, just you might need some more practise if you don’t want to end up in the emergency room all the time.” She couldn’t help but smile at him, his obvious sweetness disarming when she was so used to distance and monosyllables. “Ideally we can do so much more than that but sure, I’m a distraction.” Laughing as it was her turn to be self deprecating, she knew that while she’d managed to find herself a solid career how she spent her spare time was anything but focus or serious. A brow raised again as she started to clean his injury up. “Anything? Now that’s a little dangerous, don’t you think?”

“Right, of course, that one.” Living in a firestation and working in a male dominated environment meant he knew it well, though he was still the young, eager rookie that didn’t put up much of a facade. There wasn’t any point, he thought. “Well, I don’t know what that says about my testosterone levels but I will humbly admit defeat if I know I’ve been bested so I suppose I should say the tree won out this time. I’ll get on with practicing soon,” he told her with a light chuckle, her distraction techniques clearly working when he was focused on her rather than the wound being sewn up in his arm. “One of your very professional skills, I’m sure. You save lives in here, that’s plenty heroic too. Look at us, a bunch of heroes.” His words were an obvious joke rather than cocky with the wide grin and almost sheepish look painted on his features. “Not really. It’s only dangerous if a person doesn’t want to share, which isn’t the case here.”

“I think you can work it out but I’d be willing to take that bet sometime.” He couldn’t quite believe just how good his night had gotten and although he could tell she’d had a bit to drink he saw no harm in flirting back while he had no intentions of acting on anything tonight. “Luckily for you, I happen to be a very understanding officer so I’m gonna take you home and we’ll say no more of it. At least not in a professional capacity. Trust me, the only problem with you taking them off is the location you chose to do it in.” Zane chuckled at the noise she made, instantly recognising that the blonde was more than a little bit of a handful. It was nothing he’d ever been intimidated or put off by though, vastly preferring someone who was always a surprise than someone predictable. “Now there’s an invite I wouldn’t have been able to say no to. Pencil me in for next week, sweetheart.”

“I promise from the very bottom of my heart, next time we see each other it will be the best night of your life.” It wasn’t only the alcohol coursing through her that made her bold and flirtatious when she usually was quite the charmer, but there was something about Zane that made her want to dig a little deeper. Maybe it was because she had nothing to hide when she was already stark naked in front of him. Pulling on the arms of the jacket, the warmth of it surrounded her as she made her way with him towards his police car. “Well, it must be my lucky night then since I happened to run into you. Some would call it fate too, this is the second time it’s happened in a span of a week. At least, I’d like to believe it’s fate, unless you’ve been following me,” she joked with a light laugh, slipping into the seat of his car. “So. Next week? Same place or a little more indoors, somewhere private perhaps?”

Mia && Suki

Mia: Usually I would say that's because I wasn't there but I think you're better off without me right now. You did but I thought one couldn't hurt and then one led to two and I'm sure you can fill in the blank.

Mia: They think that I should be lapping up the attention. Maybe even use it for an image revamp.

Mia: Which is all bullshit though. I don't need things to change, I need them to go back to normal.

Suki: Oh babe, I really do wish I was there, this sounds like a horrendous nightmare. We all make drunken mistakes, I'm sure Adrian will understand. Besides, weren't you two on a break?

Suki: They would jump at the chance to spin this. I mean, it is exposure in some sense but regardless of what the gossip rags are saying, let's not get overwhelmed. How are you feeling?

“Hey, don’t you go knocking my fun for the evening. I’ll have you know some of my best nights have started on speed watch.” His tone was full of suggestion when he was sure that she was smart enough to put two and two together and know that just because they’d started that way didn’t mean that they’d ended that way. “No handcuffs for you right now, I think you’d enjoy them a little too much.” Lips quirked into a smirk before Zane couldn’t help but study her, trying to remember how their last interaction had ended. “Coulda sworn I left it written all nice on a napkin but maybe I should’ve been more obvious about it.”

“Mm, tell me more about this best night of yours. I bet I could top it easily,” she spoke in challenge with a charming grin as she finally slipped on his jacket, large on her petite frame but still didn’t hide the dip of her cleavage. A pout formed as she tilted her head, taking a wobbly step in his direction. “Buzzkill. What’s wrong with enjoying it? So how much trouble am I actually in? I can’t believe someone called you here because we decided to have a little fun. Is taking off my clothes a crime now?” Marlo made a disapproving sound with her brows furrowed, trying to recollect the pieces of the night she met him — obviously not forgetting how handsome he was or their flirtatious back and forth, but a napkin? “Mm, trust me, if I had your number I would’ve called you out here to join me tonight, but alas.”

Brows raised again and she couldn’t help but look away as she spoke, trying not to let too much bitterness creep into her voice when she’d had one too many run ins with men who liked to keep her guessing. “Open book, now isn’t that refreshing.” Focusing on her work she pulled back the gauze, preparing to clean it out. “A tree huh? You some kinda climber or just reliving your misspent youth?” She paused slightly. “This’ll sting a little so you might want to ready your tough guy act.”

“What tough guy act?” Jasper feigned shock but it was quickly followed by a grimace as he felt the gauze peel back to expose the wound that was still oozing blood. Despite how the pain sliced through his arm, he couldn’t find it in him to look away from the brunette in front of him. “The answer to that would be both, it’s my misspent youth that led me to be such a great climber. No, I uh, I was rescuing someone’s cat from a tree. I get sent off on the unexciting, routine jobs that none of the other guys at the station want to do, but... well, I’m still new,” he told her humorously, making fun of himself as a grin spread wider on his lips. “Anyway. The offer still stands, ask away. Distract me from all this blood. Isn’t that what nurses are also trained to do?”

Mia && Suki

Mia: I don't know, I barely remember. There was so much to drink and he smelled like Adrian.

Mia: I pulled away as soon as I realised it wasn't but people are so quick with their photos.

Mia: God this just isn't going to stop.

Suki: Ugh, I wish I had been there, the parties here in Paris have so far been atrocious. Didn't I tell you to stay away from the open bar when you're alone?

Suki: Oh babe. I wish I could do something. Has your PR people said anything?

It was one of the better calls he’d received that night, not because of what it meant but rather what it didn’t. There was always relief felt when it was a breaking of the law rather than a crime that people had gotten hurt in. What had surprised him was the blonde that he’d ended up dealing with. “You know, there’s other ways of getting my attention.” Zane grinned easily before handing her his jacket. “Like calling me, maybe.”

“Isn’t this way more fun? Admit it, this is a bright blip on your night filled with stopping people from going ten over the speed limit. I may be the one to finally give you a chance at using your handcuffs,” she told him, a slur to her words and a suggestive arched brow, nonchalant about her bare body glistening in the moonlight or how the tips of her hair were dripping with saltwater. Taking the jacket from him, she didn’t yet put it on as she laughed and pointed a finger in his chest. “I would call you, but I don’t have your number.”

Mia && Suki

Mia: Fuck.

Mia: What have you said? I know it's going to be pretty hard to turn it around when it looks so clear cut but

Mia: I've tried so many times I've lost count but he's not picking up.

Suki: I haven't said a word, I was waiting for you to reply but it's a fucking mess. Mia, 'but' isn't going to cut it. What happened?

Suki: Oh god. They've been blowing up his twitter too.

He had always possessed a way of walking into a place like he owned it, a talent he could never pinpoint the origin of when he’d come from undeniably humble beginnings. Nate’s apartment had already been tried, along with his little teacher and the youngest Hammond before he’d tried the door of the middle sister. “You seen your brother anywhere, Princess?” Walking further into the room without invitation, he propped himself up against a counter, familiar smirk on his lips as he looked at her. “Also, you might wanna start locking your door. Never know who might walk in.”

“What the—” His voice caused a slight bit of panic in what was supposed to be an empty apartment as she hurried out with only a towel, hair still damp from her shower. Most of her life was in neat little boxes, categorised just so but it was the simple things she always seemed to miss, like remembering to lock her door for one. “So you decided it would be a good idea to waltz in here?” she questioned, haughty and slightly demanding as she folded her arms across her chest— only to realize the state she was in. Quickly plastering on an unfazed expression on her face, her eyebrow arched towards him. “He’s obviously not here.”

Mia && Suki

Mia: Have you seen the photos??

Mia: Please tell me they're not as bad as I think they are?

Mia: God, what do I do?

Suki: Not going to sugercoat it, it's everywhere babe. My DMs and instacomments have filled with people asking.

Suki: Have you talked to Adrian?

Blood had never bothered her but the wound did look undeniably nasty, even if the rest of his features were incredibly easy on the eye. Brows raised at his comment and she couldn’t help but smile. “Well maybe don’t try so hard and it might come natural.” Her tone was light and teasing. “So, you trying to be all mysterious too or you going to fill me in on how you got this?”

“Maybe I am just naturally mysterious, have you thought about that?” he teased in return, eyes full of mischief and curious charm as they settled on her. It soon twisted into a wince when the gauze covering his wound was peeled back. “That’s a lie, I’m an open book so you can ask away — this though, well... would you believe me if I said I fell from a tree?”

Zoe: Okay, no more caps. But it's just so great!!!

Kendall: You know you just have to mention alcohol and I'm a yes. I thought it'd be a given by now.

Kendall: Zo, you think you can handle being chill for one night or do I need to walk you through it?

Zoe: Since when was enthusiastic such a bad thing???

Brie: You're honestly the cutest thing, Zo. Enthusiasm is never a bad thing when we could all use a little pep in our step.

Sabine: brie you're doing that thing again. stop it.

Brie: What???? Am not.
