huntermaddcx​:

Hunter couldn’t be the least bit mad at Morgan for sneaking off to dance. After all, she was a customer favorite and got the job done every time. Leaning against the table that she’d set her tray on, he had a certain glint in his eyes as she spoke. “Yeah, yeah,” he said, waving his hand in her direction. “Don’t I pay you to pour the drinks instead of dancin’ around like some kind of country bumpkin?” His voice was lighthearted and there was no hiding the smile on his face as he asked her, knowing full well that Morgan joining in on the line dancing was much better for business than keeping her tucked behind the bar.

She grinned at Hunter, playfully sticking out her tongue as she came up to the table, her hands landing on the edges of the tray as if she was going to pick it up, not quite picking it up just yet. “Oh please, we both know you were checking out my ass as I was dancin’” she replied with a laugh. She enjoyed the night shift for this reason, to join in with the with the dancing that came with the wilder nights at the barn. She arched an eyebrow, “You gonna quit your whingin’ and come dance or just keep standing there and watching.”

cashmackxnna​:

He had spent most of the morning going through boxes that he found in the attic of his grandmother’s home, there were photos Cash had found of himself as a kid. It brought back of a wave of emotions with nostalgia, sadness and remorse. He wondered what happened in his childhood that went wrong, there were parts that he forced himself to forget and now couldn’t ever place those memories. The man had called it a day, throwing most of the things that he found away that had no value to him. 

Cash found himself at the booze barn for once after spending most of his nights at the amber pig. He was enjoying a glass of brandy, letting his eyes fall upon a brunette who seemed to be enjoying herself. The man recognized her as one of the bar tendes who had been working that night, he found himself chuckling while watching her. 

“Is it really that fun picking up glasses?” he teased.

She shrugged a little at the man’s question, “Call me simple, but I like my job.” she admitted, it was something that she enjoyed to do and it paid the bills so she could pursue her passions. One day she wanted a photography job, but for now, the booze barn was home. She grabbed the tray she had discarded when she had joined the dancers, “Besides, .... it’s kinda fun don’t you think?”

latinxfirefighter​:

She seemed so carefree, so happy, he wasn’t sure if it was because she was having a good day, or if it was because she was usually like that, if she was someone that was always cheerful and just loved to dance, but her happiness was really contagious, and she was making him want to dance even more. He could be shy, but he didn’t let it stop him from dancing when he was in a night club, a bar or a party, sometimes he did take a while to create the courage to do it, but eventually he always did, because he enjoyed it a lot, “It seems really natural to you, as if your body was connected to the beat,” he smiled widely at her, he felt that way when he was dancing, as if he was one with the song.

Glancing up at the comment she grinned, taking a playful bow as she looked at the man talking. Dancing had been a passion since she was a child, her childhood memories full of laughter, dancing and music. Her mother was often seen around the place, with her music blasting and her father would pull her mother into a dance as they laughed and still remained so in love after all these years together. It was her favourite thing to see in the world. “Been doin’ it since I was knee high to a grasshopper, thanks though I like hearing that not gonna lie.” she replied, grabbing her tree, “Can I getcha a drink?”

deacon-james​:

“Live vicariously? You tellin’ me Maddox didn’t take you home and ravish you?” Deacon had a feeling that Hunter and Morgan were far more than just friends. He could see the way the guy looked at her, the same way nearly everyone in town did, and Deacon knew Morgan wouldn’t tell him anything without a little push on his part. “Yeah, I wouldn’t say I ‘got lucky’ so much as I got to spend the night with a really great girl. We didn’t sleep together so get your mind out of the gutter, Valdez. We just…” he trailed off, a smile crossing his lips as he remembered the night he’d spent with Kennedy after the ball. “We stayed up talking for hours.” 

She gave him a wicked grin, rolling her eyes a little as she aimed at just giving a shrug of her shoulders in response but knowing that he would give her nothing until she gave a little bit of information of her own. “Maybe, but that’s not what we’re talking about.” she replied, her night with Hunter had been a long time coming and how they both had managed to last so long. But, despite the fact she knew it was a bad idea to sleep with her boss, it hadn’t stopped it. “Uhm, whose the girl?” she asked with a cheeky grin, before falling quiet. She hadn’t heard Deacon talk about a girl like this in a long time, “Damn, do you like her?”

catalinaperz​:

Catalina was a little surprised to find one of the waitress dancing, but perhaps it was because she was new and this was her first time here. Therefore, she smiled and enjoyed the show because it seemed that the brunette was having genuine pleasure with the impromptu dance. A small laugh escaped when she noticed that she had been looking, forcing a clap out of Catalina. “You’re going to have to teach me those dance moves. I’m afraid I have two left feet.” It was hardly the truth, but she was attempting to be nice. 

She grinned at the brunette, “I doubt it. I mean, look at you girl you can’t tell me you go no moves at all.” the woman replied. She knew it was just her arrogance, but she was confident in her skills and comfortable showing it off. “But, I could be persuaded to teach someone.” she grinned, having done it a fair bit when she was overseas touring.

luke-davenpcrt​:

“I’d like to think that honor has been mine a least a good few times at this point.” He teased, because Luke was nothing short of shameless. The boy had an ego, and that was no secret. “I know better than to expect that in the middle of the park, Ms. Valdez.” But he was laughing, because he knew she was teasing him and well, he wasn’t about to drop his pants in the middle of the duck pond.

She chuckled softly, “You’ll never know.” she replied, waggling her eyebrows at him playfully. She was adept at keeping them at arms length, always teasing and never giving more than she was ready to. “Why, because you know I’m right or because you’re scared of who might come outta the woodwork?”

dancersierraw​:

Sierra had gone to the booze barn for no reason other then to try and socialise because she realised that she wasn’t doing much with her life at the time and she needed to get out. She was trying to avoid drinking, which is why she had ordered a drink she hated  and would only have small sips of so should last her. She was smiling as she spoke to the person sitting next to her before she watched the girl line dancing and she smiled a little looking at her for a moment, before she stopped, “That was pretty amazing, how did you learn to line dance? Also how do you get involved or do you have to work here to dance?” She laughed a little looking over at her for a moment. 

"Oh, thanks.” she replied with a grin, shrugging a little at the comment. “ Oooh boy that’s a lot of questions. Well, I’ve been dancing since I was a kid, my whole family love it they’re loud and crazy with their dancing everywhere.” she replied with a chuckle. She had been dancing all kinds since she was a child, she loved the movement and the expression, the music. It was everything to her, and brought a calm persona over her. To be able to dance with the regulars at booze barn was just a highlight of her night, “Not at all the line dancin’ is every week with professionals, and yanno just go on an’ join in.”

nicolaxdeluca​:

Nicola couldn’t help but chuckle at the woman’s words as she leaned against the bar on the other side. “You do make this job so much more fun, Morgan.” She teased as she stood up, moving to get a beer for someone who sat down, pushing it towards them.

She grinned as she heard her coworkers response, “I try I try,” she replied as she picked up the full tray of empty glasses and moved towards the bar area once more. “Work should never be dull that’s how people come to hate their jobs.”

LOCATION: booze barn WITH: open | @madison-starters​

A change is as good as a holiday. Her mom had always said that, and she never got the meaning particularly until her week in Savannah, having taken a photography job and managed to grab some new bookings in the coming weeks. It was exciting, and she felt that she needed a new refreshing change as well. Her hair now back to its natural brunette tones, the bangs frames her face as she line danced alongside the regulars she had been serving all night. There were enough bartenders for her to join quickly, something she’d been unable to resist as she had whipped around collecting glasses. When the song came to an end she was breathless, about to pick up her tray when she spotted someone watching. 

“Thank you, thank you, I’m here all night.”

katrinalunaaddams​:

Location: hopped fox brewery When: Whenever (day/night) @madison-starters​

How a small town such as this one was throwing her off, Katrina Addams didn’t know. Sure, she’d only been here a few weeks so far but the woman was used to learning a hundred things at once in less time. Regardless, she knew it was time to go out and continue exploring-alone.

But what a mistake that had been. Whether it was her fault from moving too quickly in a slow paced town, or the other’s fault for whatever reason, Katrina’s movement had caused the drink to fall on the others outfit/table/floor. Automatically, out of frustration and embarrassment, Kat covered her face and then quickly looked at the unfortunate soul; their outfit was ruined or at least not as dry as it once was. What a damn klutz Katrina. Like really, come on! Katrina could handle taxis and nonstop commotion all around her in big cities; so why the hell not a towns bar such as this one? “Shit! I am so so sooo damn sorry! Please, let me….um, I’ll pay for the damages or buy you another drink. This is Hopped Fox Brewery right? I mean I know the sign said so outside but…just making sure you know?” The last question wasn’t necessary but Kat needed to keep her lips moving and saying whatever came to mind first. The woman let out a shaky breath, shaking her head adding, “Again, I’m so sorry about that….” she gestured to where she had caused a large spill and knew tonight shouldn’t have been one for going out.

She had been drinking with her sisters but they had all gone off one by one to other people, more interesting than their sister. So she was sitting at the table alone, drinking and waiting for another round of fries when someone knocked her drink over. She gasped in surprise, glancing up at the other woman, “No problem gorgeous, you can spill anything on me anytime.” she replied with a smirk. “Yeah it is, you new I take it?”

valxclarke​:

It was hard to find someplace private in Madison. Val had been dodging people all day, not ready for small talk with folks she hadn’t seen for 10 years. Her return was unannounced – Not that anyone was waiting on her, but people were bound to be curious. She wasn’t ready to answer questions. Besides that, Madison didn’t feel like home anymore. 

Val felt like an outsider as she wandered around, settling on the library: Quiet, and hopefully empty of people. Slipping quietly inside, she finally took a deep breath. This might have been the only place that still felt familiar. As a teenager, she spent hours inside the library, getting lost in books and doing homework and hiding from the world. Now the memories were flooding back to her. 

She happily weaved between stacks of books, finding her favorite section of novels. After plucking a selection of five titles, Val settled down on the floor. Since the library was extra quiet today, she wasn’t worried about blocking foot traffic. Her favorite place to read was here in the stacks, between massive shelves towering over her. She set her chosen books down beside her, leaning cross-legged against a wall at the end of the aisle. 

The minutes passed by and Val got lost in a copy of Dorian Gray. She was glad to lose track of time but, when someone approached her, she was startled. Nearly jumping out of her skin, she looked up from the ground and cursed, “Jesus. Can I help you?”

@madison-starters​

She was back in town after having taken a job in Savannah for a week photographing for a local magazine, and now she was back she was restless to leave again. It had been refreshing getting away for the first time since she’d returned from overseas and to just be away was her favourite thing in the world. But, reality called and she needed something to distract her from her restlessness. Books, she decided, and the last of the summer sun, would be what she would look for. Yet the voice pulling her from her thoughts, and she arched an eyebrow as she glanced at the woman who she had been paying no attention to. “What does it look like, I’m getting a book....”

austinxkirby​:

“I guess I can let it go and find forgiveness in my heart just for you.” Austin let that last bit hang for a moment before the smile blossomed on his lips. “You know you’re right. You had to be tutoring someone or saving a life,” he scoffed. “I mean you’ve got the badass stuff down. I can totally see Diana Prince in the flesh before me. Although, I am honored that I can garner an exception from you.” 

Austin jogged back to the mount with a hearty chuckle. “Nice form!” He shouted back, rolling the baseball between his hands. “You betta be ready for this smoke.” Austin wound up and lobbed the ball in her direction. There was no way he’d throw the ball full force at her. It didn’t matter if she hit it or not, they were still gonna grab some grub after it anyway. 

“I knew you’d come around, Kirby.” she replied with a grin, before feigning an innocent look at his comment as if it was possible that she could do that. “Yeah... tutoring.” she replied, chuckling softly at the thought of her barely getting a C average self tutoring others. 

She ignored his comment on her form, brows furrowing as her tongue poked out the side of pursed lips as she zoned in on the baseball. As it came towards her, she tried to remember all the times Deacon and his friends had tried to teach her how to play, and she swung the bat without thinking about it. When it made contact her jaw dropped open in shock as her arms lifted upwards in victory. “Valdez, a missed career path what a victory!”

[morganvaldez-a]

deacon-james​:

Deacon always put up a bit more of a fight when Morgan threatened to take him out than he really intended to. In all honesty, he loved spending time with her, and it was a refreshing way to kill time. Morgan was fun and being around her was just as fun. She had a contagious spirit like that. Lifting the beer to his lips, he looked at her over the edge of the mug. “My night? Which night are we talkin’ about here?” 

“The Belle ball of course,” she replied as if it was obvious what night she’d been talking about, when she hadn’t specified. She leant on the table, given her cousin a wicked grin as she looked at her older cousin. “Get lucky, make a girls dream come true? Break hearts, dance? I want all the gossip, I need to live vicariously of course.”
