“Recuperate, yes, eventually. I won’t need physical therapy forever but I’ll never be able to swim the way I used to. It’s alright, Anouk, don’t worry about me alright?” The girl had enough to worry about without dealing with his problems. Benji didn’t even want to deal with his own stuff let alone leave it for Anouk to try and make him feel better. With her career constantly demanding her undivided attention, Benji didn’t want to take up any of the time that she had left over for herself. “You don’t have to do that unless you want to,” he grinned and shook his head as he wrapped an arm around her to reciprocate her hug. “I mean, I’m grateful for that part of it but it’s hard to give up the only thing you’ve ever been good at your entire life.” It was hard to explain to someone who didn’t go through it. Granted, he was lucky and had time in his life that many didn’t have. There was no better side of something like this. “Didn’t you want me to watch that one movie with you? I can’t remember the name of it but you were talking about it constantly for weeks.”

    ANOUK GENUINELY cares about Benji and his wellbeing, she did not why she cares about him but somehow he gives her vibes a person she can fully trust. Opposite of her, at the end of the day she was lonely, even though she is surrounded by people, she wanted to be that person, a friend that at the end of the day Benji can trust. ❛ I truly want, so bear with me. ❜ She reiterated. ❛ I know I'll never know what you truly went through, I can't imagine being not able to cook at all. ❜ Cooking was her passion, so she takes swimming was what he loved. Taking the cue as changing topic, for not allowing him getting so down. ❛ Yes, I want! It's Tenet. They said it's like Inception...Sci-fi movie. ❜ She stood up and grabbed his hand. ❛ Where do you wanna watch it? Here in the living room? Or at the cinema? Or my place? Do you know I made a room for a mini 'cinema' in my mansion? I got the projector and all.❜

“Anouk. I’ve never heard that name before, but it’s lovely. I’m Tori.” Handshakes were Tori’s least favorite part of meeting new people, but she went along with it because was so not worth complaining about. Not much was worth complaining about, honestly. She leaned on the countertop and smiled gently. “I’d consider that a long day, for sure. So what kind of trip did you take? Business or pleasure? Love hearing about trips.”

        ❛ Well, not all people know that name though. ❜ Anouk is so used to hearing people saying the same thing over and over again. ❛ Nice to meet you, Tori. ❜ The blonde wore gloves with the initial of her name and last name tagged on them, but she hasn't removed her gloves. ❛ We can say it was a bit of both. I love my work and it was a business trip. I went to my hometown in Switzerland to work and then fly to LA and NYC. It's safe to say I'm a bit jetlagged.❜ She took a sip from her drink, sighs deeply. Opposite to 'normal' people, she couldn't explore some places being 'incognito' the paparazzi was always chasing her in the USA. Icaria was a quiet place for privacy.

“Pulling out the big guns for little ol’ me? And here I thought you didn’t care- since you, you know, disappeared without telling anyone,” Eli teased as he took the barstool next to her. With everything he’d been working on, he figured a night out at one of the clubs was long overdue. He’d just been about to make his move on a brunette on the dance floor when he’d spotted Anouk, instead deciding to catch up with his friend. “How was the good ol’ USA?”

☢

   ANOUK THOUGHT Eli wouldn't notice her absence if she was, to be honest, turning to face the male with her trademark sly smile. ❛ Aww, did you miss me, Eli? ❜ She taunts him, smirking sipping her champagne, she didn't notice he was dancing with a brunette when he arrived. The jetlag was killing her last neurons in her brains. And yet she still has a big agenda ahead on the days after, and after. ❛ Are you stalking me now? ❜ She booped his nose, with her index finger playfully, the truth is somehow she manages to stay on gossip celebrity pages. ❛ You know what? You could be a good Gossip Girl, I mean, Man. Answering your question, the USA was great. I visited a lot of people who love me. It's on my Instagram. People were very friendly as usual, some bitches but y'know? I went to do some jobs there too. ❜

Lachlan wasn’t sure exactly how he ended up at Nighshade especially how he ended up here alone. He was just wandering around when Wolfgang was busy doing his writing. He knew his husband wouldn’t exactly be thrilled mostly because he was alone. When he saw someone he thought he recognized he walked over to her. “Hey what are you doing here I thought…”Lachlan stopped when he realized it wasn’t his sister in law it was someone he didn’t know at all. “Oh I’m so sorry. you don’t have to get me anything. I thought you were my sister in law.” He shook his head and frowned. “Really sorry to bother you.” 

    ANOUK WAS nursing her drink drowning in her own thoughts when she heard somebody talking in her direction; then she turned to see Lachlan, the swiss woman who has no idea what he talked about prior, her brows knitting in confusion. ❛ Your sister-in-law? Lucky her! Everybody wants to look like me. ❜ She sips her drink as she watched the male who seems to be a fish out of water. ❛ Well, if you want to stay, the invitation for a drink, still stands. ❜

Tori had been heading up to the bar to get another drink because hers was running a little low. Which was sad, and she was just here to have a good time. The bartender that she liked to order from had been occupied with someone else who apparently wanted an entire bottle of wine. Intrigued, she leaned against the bartop, and noticed that it was that celebrity chef lady that Tori had heard about. They hadn’t actually met yet, and Tori wasn’t one to get starstruck, but her interest was definitely peaked. “Hey thanks,” she said with an easy smile. “I’ll take a Moscow Mule if that’s cool, please ‘n’ thanks. Anyway, long day?“

         ALTHOUGH ANOUK had ordered an entire bottle of white wine for herself, she also asked to taste three order wines. Some of them were local wines, and they were very good in her opinion. The barman finished up pouring her glass and went straight to make Tori's drink. ❛  We could say that. Especially after a trip. I'm Anouk.❜ She stretched her hand for a friendly handshake and then sipped her wine.

“Sometimes you just gotta take the time to be away from the fans, even though I know you don’t like to, to focus on yourself.” Benji couldn’t remember the last time that Anouk was without her entourage when it didn’t involve being here after dark. It had been a while that was for sure. The word swimming gave Benji pause. He used to adore the sport, would spend all his time at the beach or in a pool if he were allowed. Now that his knee was fucked up he didn’t like reliving the past so much. “A movie would work for me,” he finally answered. As if caught, he rubbed his bad knee and shrugged. “It’s about the same. I get annoyed because my body doesn’t want to cooperate and the therapist tells me it’s completely normal.”

     ANOUK KNEW HE WAS RIGHT, but the truth is she doesn't really know herself properly. It was like her father made her live in the spotlight ever since the diapers. Benji was her only 'real' thing, meaning, she didn't pay him to like her, as she did to the majority of people and all her exes. They were all marketing to sell for the media. There are a few people she knows but she is only acquainted with, she hasn't made effort to invest deeper in a relationship with anyone. One this isle she is making some real friends, at the least, they don't seem to be the kind that is interested in her money, like people in the other places. ❛ Come on Benji! I'm sure you'll recuperate! When is your next session, maybe I could make your company if you would like? I have faith in you. You should be grateful, there are people who didn't back to walk, y'know? ❜ She hugged him, in an attempt to comfort him. ❛ What do you wanna watch? ❜

“Oh, I’ll do it for you, don’t you worry about that.” Beatrice laughed, obviously teasing the woman. She was right of course, telling Eli that he was an absolute snack would swell his head to the size of a balloon. The woman was quickly enthralled however by her sister’s story about a secret partner, and she felt her mouth drop open slightly at the idea that she had paid someone to be a lover. “What was that like - what’s she like? Tell me more!”

         ANOUK PULLS BEA ASIDE when she was teasing her, chuckling. Then her laughs fading away when her sister asked what is like to be a lover. ❛ She is not my lover, it was my 'official girlfriend' at the time. I don't know what I felt. We don't really know each other, but we pretend we do and make a whole lot of script before post online. People buy for it, fake dramas and all that jazz, and yet more marketing. It was a contract. --- But if I'll be honest with you, I didn't feel anything to anyone. I mean I never felt. ❜ The lifestyle she had, or her father made her have, it was around money. Even friendships were fake.

Lina was not going to turn down a free drink, especially coming from an attractive woman. As she moved towards the woman, she sat down and raised an eyebrow. “I’ll take a whiskey sour,” she told the bartender as she turned her attention to Anouk. “And what is making you so generous today? Though I appreciate the free drink.”

ANOUK TURNED TO the beautiful woman right in front of her. ❛ Nice choice. May I suggest on the next shot you get Negroni?❜ She grabbed the white wine that was poured right in front of her, giving the attention of her new companion. ❛ I guess traveling, lifts up everybody spirits. But it was a work trip. How are you? I'm Anouk by the way.❜ In spite of being 'famous' Anouk always introduces herself to people.

[mschaffhauser]

ulani-lam​: 

Ulani really valued her privacy and usually preferred to keep an inconspicuous profile for the most part. Only a few people truly knew how wealthy she and her family are, and she liked to keep it at that. There was no way to truly live when you were constantly under surveillance, and she was never one to like being the center of attention. “I do prefer my Japanese chocolate, but I wouldn’t mind Swiss. I’m sure you know all the best places to hit up,” she said with a sly smirk. “Though when it comes to European sweets, I’m still quite partial to Paris.”

ANOUK WASN'T going to travel for Japan, at the least, not yet. ❛ Well, I'm not traveling to Japan. I'm going to Switzerland and the US soon.❜ She points out, picking up one of her chocolates and ate it slowly. ❛ I'll pick one of our best in Swiss. ❜ She tilted her head to face her, enjoying staying on the warm water. ❛ Paris! Their dishes are very similar to ours. Except we do have a lot of cheeses. Or more than them. ❜

Location: Nightshade Club

ANOUK CAME BACK FROM A long trip to her home country and L.A. She hasn't told anyone about this work trip. Once she arrived at the place, after a short ride inside of her limo, she walked toward the counter removing her gloves, and request an entire bottle of wine to warm up for the night. ❛ I feel generous, so put on my tab whoever they want. ❜ She refers to whoever is approaching, to make her company.

“That’s fair,” she said with a shrug as she shimmied lower into the tub and sipped her wine. Thank the gods for jacuzzi tubs that had automated heaters. Ulani couldn’t care less what Anouk did with her money and time since she hated it when people told her what to do with hers. “I really appreciate that,” she said with a grin. “Here, try these out. They’re Royce Chocolate,” she said, picking up the box from the side and holding it out to her.

       ANOUK GET CLOSER TO Ulani, with a sly smile etching on her features. ❛ Not a problem. ❜ The blonde was glad they could get into some agreement. Anouk would never do anything without the other's consent to show to the cameras or whatsoever. She picked the chocolate from the box, and eats it, humming in delight. ❛ Not so bad. ❜ She flipped her wet hair backward. ❛ I'll have a flight to Switzerland and LA, upcoming, and I'll bring chocolate from my country if you would like. ❜ As a Swiss, she's very proud of the chocolate of her country and she adores to sponsor them, not that people were actually paying her to do such a thing, she does it on her own will.

“Mhm, Eli.” Beatrice mused, rolling his name around on her tongue as if she was tasting it. “That man is delicious. Benji however, you’ll have to introduce me. I feel like a need a man to help me settle in, y’know?” The brunette teased, looking over at her sister with a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Bored? Well, dear Anouk, let you be bored no longer. I’m here now, time for us to have fun,” She grinned, reaching over to take her sister’s hand into hers for a moment, and give it a squeeze. “Oh, ignore all of that kidnapping and political bollocks. We can make this a fabulous place to live, you just wait.” She then sat back in her seat, before then turning to look at Anouk once more with a confused expression.”Wait, fake ex girlfriend? What did I miss?” 

        ANOUK SIGHS when her sister began to talk about Eli. ❛ Yeah, he is. But I don't say this thing to him to provoke him. ❜ She points out, shaking her head about her priorities, well, each one with its own priority. ❛ I think I know what you mean. ❜ The swiss woman never settled with anyone so overall she doesn't know what it means, she understands the concept but it wasn't something she put into practice. All her relationships were for the media. She was a little bit caught off by surprise when Bea took, her hand but she beamed at her nonetheless. ❛ Sure, let have some party in here. ❜ She quirked a brow at her for the confusion. ❛ Well, all my relationship was made for the media, to have content. We sort of... Hmm... I pay each other for content to the media, it wasn't a real relationship, plus I had to tell the public it was. Once I bumped into her here, and we were starting to get to know each other for real. It was weird knowing somebody for so long and not knowing ANYTHING at all about them. ❜

“Oh wow, thank you!” Ness beamed as the blonde handed over her private phone number, instead of the one that sent her through assistant to assistant to PR manager to PA… honestly, it had been a nightmare to make the first booking for her interview. “That’s brilliant, I’ll give you a call or a text to see when we can book in an interview. Perhaps we could add a column into the Gazette whilst you’re here - your recipe of the week, or something?”

     MANAGER CAN BE SUCH A BITCH, in general, this is why Anouk provided the personal number to Ness. Besides, she thinks the other woman is quite nice. ❛ Oh, it won't be a problem. ❜ She let out her sly smile. ❛ I like your thinking, yeah. We could put that, a recipe of the week. Speaking of which, I already planning the recipe for the next month, Red Velvet for Valentine's day.❜

rosy-bea​: 

“Perhaps I’ll tag along. I don’t know whether I’m going to stay here yet, despite my parents insisting.” Beatrice teased, a smile on her face - she knew that Anouk was a very well known and well travelled person, the blonde possibly liked to jet-set more than she did. “You’re the best, thank you. My parents have given me enough money to get a place but I haven’t started looking, so that would just be amazing.” The two got along fantastically as well, so she could think of nothing better than staying with her sister. As a car arrived, Bea was not surprised by the limo and slid in elegantly, turning to look at Anouk - “tell me, what is the deal with this island? What are the people like, and the men?”

       ANOUK CHUCKLED that Bea also has the same thought as her in regards to staying. ❛ Of course, this is what siblings are made for. ❜ Once her driver started to drive, she turns to Bea. ❛ I only knew two men on this island. Benji and Eli. I had no idea they were living here. People, in general, are nice here. But I feel bored. ❜ When she is not bored? ❛ There's a Nightshade club, I recommend for having some fun and meet more people there. This island is full of exciting times to time, kidnapping, political problems, bad weather ... And that's it. I think the only thing that differs from other countries is the number of people living here, and mystical creatures. --- Ah! Also, there's a bunch of demigods here, so you can feel safe in use your powers if you want to. Less paparazzi... I guess you have a certain level of privacy. I also met with my fake ex girlfriend. I’m planning in maybe get a fake partner for Valentine for the followers.❜
