One thing esme always promised herself from never falling into the same game with kai again, as tempting and sweet as it was, it was also harmful enough to break her again when she just finally managed to fix herself on what he left behind, like a broken toy no one wanted to play with. She could feel her heart picking up with him nearing closer to her, smelling his familiar scent that she couldn't get rid of from her sheets, everything about him was coming crashing back into her life like waves of torment. The slight feel of his touch on her hand had her let out a shaky breath, her eyes never leaving his, it was like she was hypnotized by his demeanor, like he knew how to get her to fall once again into his trap. Which he probably did, he knew her like she knew him. As much as she wished she could forget everything about Kai Wilder, it was impossible, it was like a moment in her life where everything seemed intoxicating which it was. "Would you leave me alone if I said so?" she softly spoke, knowing that everything in her body was telling her to run she stayed where she was with him near her. Maybe she was wanting to feel something other than normal day home to work, her life being on the same cycle of not changing. At least with him, it was fun and thrilling but also painful. "Or would you continue to try and stay." she challenged him, her hand reaching out to grasp his, deciding to play his game right back at him, knowing in her heart it would end in nothing but hurt. @mp3kai

[mp3kai]

            kai had put esme through a lot, he knew that. it wasn't a secret that there were times he blew things up and made things ten times harder than they had to be. it was kai after all, blowing things up practically ran through his veins. sure, most of the time when it came to kai he was seeking it out. he did things he shouldn't have, he did things that hurt people... purposely. but things were a bit different with esme. she'd been a fixture in his life for awhile and the longer they had known each other, the more he was pulled towards her... instead of purposely playing games and purposely wanting to have her wrap around his finger so he could twist her in which ever direction he felt the most entertaining for himself, he cared. a rarity, kai wilder caring about another human being, having genuine feelings... feelings at all? unheard of. but of course, it was kai and all kai knew was blowing things up. all he knew was to ruin things... the fact was, nothing lasts. everything falls apart. everything had an end. a cruel and bitter end. under all the chaos, hurt and heartache kai put esme through... there was a person that cared. even if kai wasn't all that great at showing it all the time. something esme had right was she did know him and he knew her. for better or for worse... in esme's case, probably for worse.  ⏤  eyes fell to their hands as she took his hand in hers before moving back up to her eyes. kai never being one to drop any kind of eye contact. something that could've came along with all the years of trying to manipulate people... something he was sure was crossing her mind. what was real and what was kai's antics? sometimes he questioned if she ever thought it was all games and none of it was real to him but that was a question for another day.   ❛   it'd depend,   ❜   he began, his gaze still on hers as he moved even closer to her, his thumb brushing against the top of her hand as he moved.   ❛   if i believed that you meant it.   ❜   spreading his fingers, he laced them with hers, giving her hand a small squeeze before bringing up his free hand to brush back some of her hair behind her shoulder.   ❛   and honestly esme, i don't think you want me to leave.   ❜

"A bounce house? I wasn't thinking about a bounce house. I mean, the beach is practically in my backyard so where would I even put it?" Sterling chewed on her bottom lip as she considered it, but then Kai said he wouldn't show up if there wasn't one, so Sterling swatted at him as she rolled her eyes. "Shut up!" She laughed "You do realize you're a whole adult yourself, right? You could buy a trampoline or even rent your own bounce house. But yes, I think a bounce house would be nice for Sun's party."

@mp3kai

[mp3kai]

          ❛   chuck that shit into the water. bounce in style, baby.   ❜   he joked, a laugh falling from his lips as she smacked at his arm. leaning to the side a bit he sat up before pressing his lips together. shoulders coming up before falling back down to their original position.   ❛   what fun would it be to play on kid shit without my kid homie? wouldn't be the same. i'm not here to be the pathetic guy jumping in a bounce house all alone.   ❜   another shrug before he finally smiled again as he let the joke die out.   ❛   no really, you know i'd go either way. wouldn't miss the little twerps birthday for the world.   ❜   another joke, kai wasn't really a master of words but when it came to sterling and sun, he really did have the best intentions. which was saying a lot since he didn't really have the best intentions... ever for the most part. there was usually always some sort of alternative motives going on or game being played.   ❛   so, tell me. what's going on in the life of sterling levin? anything new? need me to kick anyone's ass?   ❜

[gracecromwell]

Gracie never minded Kai, sure his comments and actions had her raise her eyebrows and want to ask 'what the fuck is wrong with you' but she felt like many people ask that sort of question when it came to her cousin. "God damn Kai, it's not going to close in the next three seconds, I'm just saying you should at least give it a try. I'm telling you...it's the best thing to taste." She picked up her pace to keep up with him, she rolled her eyes as she slapped his shoulder. "Why are we even rushing to the convenience store?" @mp3kai

[mp3kai]

           ❛   abuse!   ❜   kai retorted as gracie smacked him on the shoulder. not that it actually was or even hurt. it was harmless, they both knew that but that was exactly why he was going to play it up like he was just smacked with the fury of a million trains hitting him at once. if extreme sports and adrenaline inducing activities wasn't his passion... then he'd be all for the drama. a hand came up to clench at the opposite arm, on purpose, drama! dramatics! theater! lights! camera! action! for godsake!    ❛   i think you broke it. you need to use your stupid croissant as a healing agent! the chocolate will seep into my pours and strengthen the bone.   ❜   a sigh fell from his lips before he snapped out of it like he hadn't just told her to rub a pastry on his perfectly fine arm. reaching over, he took the baked good out of her hand and took a bite before continuing to walk towards the convenience store.   ❛   i need a new pack of cigarettes, it's life of death, loser.   ❜   kai retorted, taking a second bite. the bites noticeably getting bigger each time before he pointed at the croissant with his free hand.   ❛   it kinda tastes like,   ❜   the same finger he use to point at the baked good came up to signal for her to wait as he took another bite, a nod following.   ❛   yeah, it tastes like shit.   ❜   

[kyleexanthony]

It really didn't come as a surprise that Kylee and Kai would end up becoming close friends, especially with their names being so similar and how they both loved getting into trouble and causing chaos. Hanging out with Kai was always an adventure that she wanted to be a part of. She nodded to his words, grinning from ear to ear as she looked at him. "Fuck yeah, I'm so excited! We're gonna have a lit ass time on the beach!"

It was then he mentioned the sharks that made her smile fade and she rolled her eyes, shaking her head as she did so. "Shut up about the sharks," she said, reaching over to gently push him to the side, though swimming sounded like a fun time as well. "We both know that they would all eat you first anyways," she teased him as they made their way towards the liquor store that was a few minutes away. "What booze are we thinking? Beers like usual or a bottle of something?"

[mp3kai]

          there was no question that kylee and kai would have a good time when they were together. it was a given, at least for kai. an instant connection with the other the moment they met. both fueling the fire behind each others eyes. something that kai would never deny was his craving for something more in life. for something that brought out something in him that lit something up inside himself. a fire or burning. at least then, he felt alive. unable to handle any stillness without losing his ever living mind. although, some would say his mind was already gone but that was besides the point. nevertheless, kylee had always been someone that kept things from feeling too still for him. 

a laugh fell from his lips as she shoved at him. letting himself stumble to the side a bit as he continued to laugh before moving closer to her and draping his arm over her shoulders as they made their way to the liquor store.   ❛   bro, they can try but i'm fucking unstoppable!   ❜   was that the truth? not at all and kai knew that but he'd also be the type of person that'd see a shark and want to challenge the theory. you only live once, right?   ❛   just make sure you talk about how cool, handsome and perfect i am during the eulogy. you can even go as far to say that i saved your life. a knight in shining armor of sorts.   ❜   joking,  the  sarcasm practically laced his words. as they reached the liquor store, kai reaching out and pulling the door open. eyes focusing in on the first bottle of alcohol he could see. this wasn't about choice, this was about access. his arm lifting from her shoulder as he pointed out the bottle, eyes narrowed in on it.   ❛   and the lucky winner is!   ❜   he exclaimed, making his way over to the bottle and picking it up. holding it up to her as if he was displaying the big bottle of vodka like a prized possession.   ❛  looks like we're about to get fucked up, babe!   ❜    kai continued, a smile plastered on across his lips.

starter for: @mp3kai / location: seascape fire & ice steakhouse

It had been fifteen minutes since Mariana had sat down and ordered herself a drink at the bar. Fifteen minutes late. She quickly dialed this guys number only for it to go to voicemail. This was the second time she had been stood up and she was not standing for it. What was even happening?

She waved her hand to flag down the bartender after she set her phone back in her purse. She'd make the best of this. There was nothing wrong with a woman getting a few drinks by herself if no one knew that she had just been stood up. Another drink would help calm her nerves. "Can I get another one of these please?" She asked without looking at the bartender. She looked around the restaurant instead. She could even someone in the restaurant with all the people that come through the hotel.

[mp3kai]

         how kai ended up getting his job in the steakhouse bartending in the first place was probably some kind of fluke. although, he wasn't the worst at talking his way into things if he really needed it... well, that's how he'd word it... others would probably say, worm himself into things. like a little parasite, if you will. but alas, here he was. some things had to be done to get a little extra cash. even if that was standing behind a bar, drinking their liquor and pretending you were doing your job. kai figured, if he just smiled and chatted up whatever lonely people came wandering in. the other bartender on deck with him would take care of the rest. unless he was alone... then he was either pouring random drinks or fucking around. some were meant to put on a show, so that's what he'd do. 

all that being said, mariana was a familiar face, someone he was actually glad to see. not that he'd made his presence known just yet. which didn't much matter due to the fact that he was being summoned by mariana herself to... work. felt like an attack, honestly. work.... at his job? weird concept.   ❛   what the fuck mari, i come back. i'm here, gracing you with my presence and all you do is order me around? kinda fucked.   ❜   a look of offense as he played into the sarcasm before he reached over and grabbed some alcohol and a mixer. making his way in front of her, he poured her drink. finally, breaking into a smile.   ❛   miss me?   ❜

[lennonhansley]

As much as Lennon loved being in the pottery studio and working on her crafts, she loved being outside and walking around, getting the sun on her face. As it was a perfectly sunny day, she decided to go check out the nearby trails. Sure, she had her phone to track where she was, but she ended up getting lost and met a guy named Kai while out there. It seemed like he was just as lost, but his smirk and confidence said otherwise. When he turned towards her, her eyebrow lifted just slightly and she let out a little, humph. "For someone who lived here for a short period of time before coming back, you look just as lost as I do," she pointed out with a slight chuckle, of course following him as she didn't know where she was going. Kai gave off questionable vibes to start, not sure whether to really trust him or not as they met a little bit ago, though he was her only way of getting out of the trails and back towards home.

[mp3kai]

        truthfully, kai liked lennon.  something that could've very well of been a curse for lennon. being on kai's radar wasn't always the best thing. but alas, there was something about her that interested him. maybe it was the fact that she seemed... good? a person with a good head on her shoulders. at least, that was the vibe he was getting from her since meeting. not that they'd know each other for long but as much as kai could be... well, kai... the same guy that was a bit off his rocker. the same guy that didn't really care about much of anything other than the things that would bring him some sort of stimulation. the same guy with questionable morals. he was still a pretty perceptive person. to be fair, you had to be when growing up the way he did. when being the way he came to be. you had to have some sort of perceptive nature to you or you'd get eaten alive. but that was a story for another day. as much as kai loved himself a girl that was just as unhinged as him... he was intrigued by the ones that were nothing like him because, to put it simply, there was some potential there. some potential of corruption... destruction. listen, he never claimed to be a good or even decent person... he was just trying to keep things interesting.    ⏤   lips pressed together as he turned around, stopping in his tracks.   ❛   you know what we should do?   ❜   kai begin, not leaving any room for discussion on how he didn't know where he was going. which, he didn't but another thing that was besides the point.   ❛   i saw a cliff over there, we should go cliff jumping.   ❜

——- ❝ You're not entirely wrong, ❞ roman said back, sounding like he wasn't fully paying attention as he looked around. he hasn't been to many abandon places in a while and this felt like a nice throwback to his teens and young adult days before all the moving happened. made him want to explore around more as he was all for doing this stuff in the past. hearing the yell, the brit froze, turning on his heel to face the other before chuckled some as he walked over towards him. ❝ could always use more dust in my diet ❞ he said with a chuckle as he watched him pour the drinks before looking back at him and another chuckled left him. ❝ now wouldn't that be something. had no idea you wanted to wine and dine me — very romantic of you, ❞ he added jokingly, always enjoying jokes and sarcasm before taking one of the glasses.

Gracie was stressed, which was normal for her. She wanted to make sure her designs were good enough to not be rejected but of course it didn't go as planned so instead of crying about it, she decided to go grab baked goods to make herself feel better. Gracie turned to look at the other and waved the chocolate croissant. "I'm just saying, these chocolate croissants are the best."

[mp3kai]

            kai  wasn't  close  to  anyone  in  his  family.  cutting  all  ties  with  most  of  them,  especially  the  two  that  conceived  him  and  his  brother.  but  alas,  grace  was  someone  from  his  family  that  he  kept  in  touch  with.  perhaps  it  was  because  they  both  ended  up  here,  in  aurora  bay.  or  maybe  it  was  because  grace  without  a  doubt  knew  who  he  was...  even  if  he  told  himself,  it  was  forced  at  times  and  could  come  off  as  the  annoyed  older  brother.  but  despite  grace  and  kai  growing  up  in  different  places,  more  than  likely  differently  as  well,  she  was  family.  maybe  that  was  the  reason  kai  entertained  being  in  her  life  at  all.  because,  they  were  both  disconnected  from  other  parts  of  their  family  life  other  than  each  other.  at  least,  that  was  the  case  for  kai.  that  being  said,  like  it  or  not...  kai  probably  wouldn't  admit  it...  but  it  was  nice  having  some  family  that  he  hadn't  banished  from  his  life.  even  if  that  word,  family,  didn't  always  mean  much  to  the  male.     ⏤   an  almost  annoyed  look  back,  kai  stopped  and  turned  to  look  at  his  cousin.   ❛   just  eat  that  fucking  shit  and  keep  walking.  i  wanna  make  it  to  that  convenience  store  on  the  corner  before  it  closes.   ❜ ⏤ @gracecromwell

CJ made a face when Kai pat his cheek, rolling his eyes in response as he tried to hold back a laugh and failing on doing so. "Next thing you're going to say it's all about the heart and not about the looks or some bullshit." He always found their conversations pointless but entertaining, it was never a dull moment when he hung around Kai, he even was put in questionable positions such as this one as they're in an abandon place. "You mean to your friendship, because I know you would sell me for a burrito, now I'm starting to rethink this whole friendship," he jokingly stated and shakes his head as he walked around the room, kicking a few pebbles. "how the hell did you even find this place? Do you just go roaming around where ever you please until you find something? You're like a raccoon." Clayton twirled around and walked back to the counter where the other was sitting and wiggled it a little before smirking, "I will laugh my ass of if this breaks with you on it." @mp3kai

[mp3kai]

            ❛   i'm  here  to  mend  hearts,  not  break  them.   ❜    he  smiled,  continuing  to  balance  on  the  small  bit  of  non - decaying  counter  space.  a  laugh  falling  from  his  lips  as  cj's  comment  about  selling  him  off  for  a  burrito...  the  worst  part  was,  it  was  probably  true.  maybe  kai  wasn't  the  best  person  to  have  in  your  corner,  the  lack  of  morals  and  loyalty...  the  selfishness...  it  wasn't  exactly  the  best  concoction  when  building  a  friendship  but  the  thing  with  cj  and  kai  was  they  both  knew  who  the  other  was.  they  accepted  it  and  they  truly  didn't  care.  cj  probably  knew  what  he  shouldn't  ever  rely  on  kai  for  and  kai...  well,  kai  was  in  his  own  world  of  insanity.  he'd  drag  cj  from  place  to  place  when  need  be.  a  perfect  example  being  now.  he  needed  someone  to  explore  this  abandoned  home  with  and  who  better  than  cj?    ❛   did  you  just  call  me  a  raccoon?  a  fucking  rabid  animal?   ❜    a  look  of  offense  crossed  over  the  males  features.  although,  he  wasn't  actually  offended  at  all,  that  wouldn't  stop  kai  from  making  some  sort  of  scene.  wobbling  a  little  when  cj  shook  at  the  counter,  kai  kicked  his  leg  out,  attempting  to  kick  the  other  due  to  the  action.   ❛   and  people  think  i'd  be  the  one  capable  of  murder.  meanwhile  you're  over  here  trying  to  fucking  kill  me,  you  fucking  dick.   ❜   he  joked  before  hopping  off  the  counter.   ❛   and  really,  you  can't  tell  me  you've  seen  something  boarded  up  and  not  wanted  to  check  it  out.   ❜   walking  over  to  cj,  kai  smacked  him  on  the  back  of  the  head  before  looking  up  at  what  was  left  of  the  stairs.   ❛   c'mon,  let's  go  up  there.  maybe  some  old  chick  died  here  and  there  will  be  some  jewelry  laying  around.   ❜ ⏤ @claytcnjeong

[esmemaxwcll]

So many things were running in her head, she had scenarios of moments like this if she saw him again, between something dramatic or her walking away without a word. But instead, she found herself entertaining him, having a conversation of regrets and what not. Esme always lived by the rules, it was part of her life that she remained in a certain area to keep up that perfectionist side of her to control, until Kai comes around anyways. Did she wish things didn't turn out the way they did, part of her was fine with how things ended but the other part, the hurt part wanted nothing to do with him again. Her eyes stared back at him, silently looking over his features and let his words process before answering, "You really want to know what I'm feeling?" She asked, "I'm feeling so many emotions right now that I haven't felt in awhile, I can't even pinpoint what emotions is which. I...I don't know anymore." Her shoulders dropping in defeat, she wanted to keep some sort of wall to distance herself, to protect herself from being disappointed. "that's what I'm feeling." @mp3kai

        if  there  was  one  thing  kai  wasn't,  it  was  scared.  if  anything,  he  challenged  things  to  try  and  affect  him,  hurt  him,  make  him  feel  something  more  than  everything  that  spiraled  around  in  his  head.  that  being  said,  he  also  hated  actually  feeling  things.  he  hated  when  something  actually  mattered  to  him.  it  was  why  he  simply,  didn't  let  it  happen.  making  for  certain  that  he  held  everything  and  anyone  at  arms  length.  keeping  everyone  from  actually  getting  to  know  anything  about  him.  if  anything,  kai  was  a  list  full  of  contradictions.  constantly  fighting  himself  on  what  he  wanted  and  what  he  didn't  want.  did  he  want  to  know  what  she  was  thinking?  yes... but  also  no.  did  he  want  it  to  hurt?  yes...  but  also  no.  did  he  want  it  to  affect  him  at  all?  yes...  but  also   (   you  guessed  it,   )    no.   ⏤   taking  a  step  closer,  kai's  head  tilted  slightly  to  the  side  as  he  looked  at  the  girl.  blue  eyes  focusing  in  on  hers,  not  at  all  prepared  to  back  down.   ❛   then  we'll  start  with  something  easier,   ❜   kai's  voice  was  almost  soft.  but  alas,  if  anyone  knew  kai's  games  well...  it  was  esme.  she'd  been  through  it...  not  once  but  twice.  she  knew  he  played  mind  games,  that  he'd  suck  you  dry  if  he  could.  but  kai  also  knew,  as  much  as  esme  didn't  want  to  admit  it...  she  did  care  about  him  in  some  sense  of  the  word.  she  shouldn't  have  but  she  was  a  much  better  person  than  he'd  ever  be.   ❛   do  you  want  me  here?   ❜   he  asked,  eyes  still  on  her  as  a  hand  slowly  reached  out,  kai  brushed  his  fingers  gently  and  ever  so  slightly  against  her  hand.   ❛   with  you?   ❜   dropping  his  head,  he  continued.    ❛   or  do  you  want  me  to  go?  leave  you  alone?   ❜ ⏤ @esmemaxwcll

although she was sure that no one even noticed her being all by her lonesome in a table for two for the past thirty minutes, the brunette still couldn't help but feel self conscious--embarrassed even of what people thought of it. she knew that she really shouldn't care about what people thought of her, but she cannot help it. the girl grew up being a people pleaser and she's still trying to break free from that even if it's harder than expected. she didn't like making people uncomfortable even if it was in her own expense. she could have told her friend how she really felt, about the guy not showing up, but she didn't want to make a big deal about it or make her friend feel bad about it. after all, it was not their fault that the guy had some family emergency. right now, she can just hope that the rest of her evening would at least be more eventful and she could start that with a better drink. when the bartender agreed to her request, eleanor shot them with a sweet smile of gratitude as she muttered a quiet thank you.

watching intently as he expertly crafted her drink, she couldn't help but admire the effortless grace with which he moved. and she would be lying if she said that he didn't catch her eyes especially now that she was actually looking. he looked good--and he looked even better doing his job. when he slid the glass in front of her, she felt her cheeks flushed a little upon feeling that she was caught looking even if most patrons do that, right? she can always just blame it on curiosity on what he was making. but before she could grab the drink for herself, she stopped her fingers midway when the bartender suddenly pulled out a mini umbrella and placed it on her drink. a soft chuckle escaped eleanor's lips at the endearing gesture, a spark of delight igniting within her. " thank you, " she murmured, her fingers tracing the delicate outline of the umbrella with a wistful tenderness. " it certainly adds a charming touch to the drink. and is it that obvious? i guess i'm an open book. " // @mp3kai

             although,  kai  didn't  know  it  yet,  he  and  the  girl  were  actually  very  different.   (   opposites,  even.   )    that  being  said  ,  it  didn't  take  that  much  to  be  on a  different  plane  from  kai.  he  could  be  a  hard  pill  to  swallow  when  actually  getting  to  know  him.  his  morals  not  exactly  as  screwed  on  straight  as  they  probably  should've  been.  nevertheless,  that  didn't  take  away  from  the  fact  that  he  and  the  girl  really  were  complete  opposites.  kai  not  completely  knowing  that  now,  but  from  what  he  could  tell⏤ there  was  something  enduring  about  the  girl.  something  he  couldn't  quite  put  his  finger  on  just  yet.   ⏤   it  was  interesting,  not  to  jump  back  on  the  subject.  but  the  girl  was  sitting  there  worried  about  being  a  bother  to  everyone  around  her,  even  the  strangers  around  her.  worried  she  was  taking  up  the  very  space  she  was  allowed  to  be  in.  meanwhile,  kai  was  the  complete  opposite.  he'd  push  himself  into  a  room,  make  himself  known.  he  purposely  took  up  space  and  laughed  at  the  distasteful  reactions  he'd  get  at  times.  but  alas,  that  was  all  things  the  two  didn't  know  about  one  another  yet  .

a  smile  crossed  over  the  males  lips  as  he  gave  the  girl  a  small  nod.   ❛   i  won't  say  it's  super  obvious.  i  bet  you  anything  everyone  else  here  is  too  busy  eating  their  steaks  to  notice.   ❜   he  spoke  honestly  before  raising  his  shoulders  up  and  down.   ❛   but  to  me,  it  was  hard  not  to  notice.   ❜    was  that  a  line?  could've  been.  that  didn't  make  it  any  less  true  to  kai.  but  that  also  didn't  change  the  fact  that  kai  had  zero  filter  and  would  more  than  likely  say  whatever  was  on  his  mind. especially  now  that  the  girl  was  on  his  radar.   ❛   i  mean,  hard  not  to  notice  a  pretty  girl  sitting  on  her  own.  as  much  as  you  can  pull  off  the  sad  eyed  look,  couldn't  help  but  notice.   ❜   the  male  spoke  bluntly,    ❛   but,  i  will  say,  that  smile,   ❜    he  continued,  a  small  motion  in  her  direction.   ❛   it  suits  you.   ❜   glancing  over  at  the  clock  on  the  wall,  kai  did  as  kai  did.  whatever  the  hell  he  wanted.  despite  having  a  few  more  minutes  left  on  the  clock,  he  smirked.  eyes  back  on  the  girl  in  front  of  him.   ❛   you  know  what  i  think  you  should  do?  make  the  most  of  a  shitty  day.   ❜   if  there  was  anything  kai  was,  it  was  spontaneous.    ❛   come  somewhere  with  me,  get  outta  here⏤  have  some  real  fun.   ❜   he  said,  letting  the  offer  linger  there.  ⏤ @gcldrushed
