lunch date with sprinkles ❖ nina & sharna

[nikolinahq-blog]

sharna.

Sharna tended to run in her own circle of friends which she knew she had to branch out of eventually or how else was she going to meet incredible people like Nina? But familiar was what she’d always gone with though she was glad she’d taken a chance and gotten to know Nina better. “Uh yeah, the jeans and the t-shirt, top knot. I mean she looks better than I do most days. She’s like a little glam queen and I’m just like, ‘I put on real people pants today’ and that’s it.” She laughed. “Wait we can’t? What? Is this a rule or something?” She playfully frowned as she put her bag in the backseat. “Well thank you love, I can definitely say the same for you.” The Aussie grinned and got into her car, turning it on and lowering the top. “Oh man, snacks on our way to lunch? And we get ice cream after? We’re keeping you for a long time.”

The more she knew of Sharna, the more she liked her and was certain that the two were going to be great friends. This was already a good start and they hadn’t even made it to the nitty and gritty yet. That would come during sugar rush o’clock. “It’s an iconic look! Don’t hate on it! It’s a nice, easy and cute go to.” With a chuckle, she shook her head. “Real people pants,” she scoffed. “Real people pants are a joke. End of story.” Nina shrugged, a wide smile still on her lips. “Haven’t really thought about it. Maybe they wear sequins and glitter every day in Reno? Sounds like a fun place but glitter just gets everywhere. Everywhere.” With a chuckle, the brunette got into the car and buckled her seatbelt and shifted slightly in her seat in an attempt to get comfortable. “Are you? Or am I keeping you? That’s the real question. I also... tend to get hangry and I’m sure that’s not kid friendly so I just thought I should be safe.”

Katie/Nina - Weekend Catch-up.

[nikolinahq-blog]

katie.

Katie thought it would be nice to sneak a surprise destination for her good friend Nina. It had been awhile since they had some much needed quality time together and she wanted to make the most of it. Instead of the typical hike that most would do in the greater City of Angels, she thought outside of city limits with more scenic views would be nice for a spur of the moment getaway. Weekends always went fast for the blonde as it was, and she wanted to make the most of it. Los Leones Canyon was north of Santa Monica and thirty-five minutes away from Los Angeles, the air was clear for a blue sky and the temperature couldn’t have been more perfect for a hike. Nature was all around them, from hillside mountains to mystical and forest like trail paths. But the best part was yet to come. “Don’t worry, my darling trooper, I promise we’re almost there.” She reassured the brunette as they walked side by side, skipping a few paces simply to turn and walk backwards as she could hear the waves from up ahead and knowing the view she couldn’t wait to reveal was coming. “This is it! The moment you’ve been waiting for.” Not wanting to be the usual clumsy idiot she could be most of the time and ruin a serene moment, she spread her arms out dramatically as though pulling the curtain back once they reached the top, with the Pacific Ocean all in its glorious view right in front of them. “It’s quite a sight, isn’t it? I know it’s a bit far from the regular hikes we do but I thought, since we’re making up for lost time, this would be best. Come on!” There was a bench nearby for them to relax on, she wasted no time to take her friend’s hand and guide her over, taking a deep breath once she sat down. The hike up was enough for her to feel it in her legs and that was a sign they worked off the calories of the poutine they shared and surely the hike back would cover the cake. “I don’t know about you but I’m feeling it already.” She laughed heartily, rubbing her knees before nudging her friend playfully. “I’m not as young as I used to be.”

At this very moment, Nina, for the life of her, couldn’t figure out why she had even joked about hiking. What a mistake that was. Today was meant to be about consuming comfort food that would ultimately make its way onto her hips or ass but this was something else. They had never walked this trail before and she wasn’t sure what to expect. “How can you be in such a good mood?” The brunette chuckled with a tiny shake of her head, watching as Katie walked backwards in front of her but when they reached the top, Nina could feel her entire body beginning to relax. “You’re being too cute right now, stop it. We’re hiking.” Certainly, she couldn’t begrudge the hike. It felt good after all the eating and sitting they’d done today and she was here with her good friend, after all and that made everything better. The brunette was incredibly thankful to be here with Katie and enjoying one of the most beautiful views she’d ever seen. “Okay,” Nina said with a reluctant nod, gaze trying to take in every single inch of the incredible view. “You win this round. It’s beautiful and I’m glad you made me get off my ass.” Her glance shifted to Katie’s hands as they massaged her own knees before meeting her friend’s gaze again. “Stop it. You’re as young and even more beautiful than when I met you. It’s super hard to compete with.” She teased, playfully nudging Katie in response. “Could you knock it off? I need to get booked too.”

Pupper Love || Nina & Lauren

“Think somewhere along the lines of Rachel Weisz in The Mummy.” Her affinity for that movie showing on her face. Sure, it was hokey and cliche but everything fit so charmingly perfect together, it was hard not to love the film. At least in her eyes. “Less like weird creepy librarian ghost from Ghostbusters.” Another treasured favorite. The waiter left to fill the order and a light laugh escaped the actress’s lips. “It would take a lot for her to be terrifying. She reminds me of one of those cute beenie babies or something, you know? They used to be so cute and all the rage.”

“Rachel Weisz in The Mummy? Not mad at that.” The brunette chuckled, features crinkling ever so slightly in thought. “And she’s married to James Bond? Definitely not mad about that. Ghostbusters librarian though... Unforgivable. Totally unforgivable. I’d rather be married to James Bond.” It was effortless, the way these two slipped so quickly into conversation as though no time had passed between now and the last time they saw each other. “Beanie babies! I loved Beanie babies! I had quite an impressive collection and I think it still might be the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. Anyway,” she chuckled, shaking her head, “what’s going on with you, babe? It’s been way too long! Still not a zombie yet, huh?”

I can feel your sarcasm oozing all the way over here, Nina ;p  but these dance move videos you give me no choice but to confiscate so kindly hand them over and no one gets hurt. I promise I will slip you some booze at said Comic Con after party that I am not attending…

Oh, yeah? And what will you give me for them? It better be something good or I don’t know... I might make a new website. Or maybe I’ll find someone to make me a website for loosey Moosey! Wouldn’t that be cute? A drink with you? Guess I’ll have to swing by the after party after all.

Okay good cause sometimes she’s a volcano and she just goes off at the worst times ever. Mums shouldn’t judge each other but really… no one should. It’s life though you know? Constant judgement from people who don’t know you or your situation. Just have to roll with it, especially as a mum. But thank you for saying that. Yeah! That’s pretty much how it’s gonna go. All the wine, the good company, it’s like the perfect night. I wish!

Constant judgement... oh boy. It’s like I never left high school. Definitely not a fan of that but I never was. If it’s any consolation, I think you’re amazing and deserve all of the awards for best mom ever! Of course, I got your back, boo boo. Always. I’m so in! 

[nikolinahq-blog]

sharna.

If I compare my child to a volcano will you think less of me? Children are so damn unpredictable though, it’s one of the few things I hate about motherhood. She doesn’t just erupt very often so you’re pretty safe. The thing I hate is other mums will sit there and judge you, as if their child never threw a fit or got pissed off cause they refused to give them ice cream before dinner? Like… really? Don’t pretend you’re any better than I am. I’ll send all the videos! Or you could come over with Yvonne and just go through the history of Eve with her and my bottle of wine. Ugh but literally is so much better. I’ve got an itch to scratch you know. Eh glitter won’t phase him, he’s a dancer and he worked with Madonna, he’s pretty used to shit like that.

Of course not! I would never think less of you. You’re a badass single mom! That judgement should really stop and not just around moms, around women in general because we’re all on different paths and we all are meant to do something different and people shouldn’t feel like they have the right to say anything about our lives. You’re a great mom, don’t let bitchy side eyes make you feel any different! Yes! That sounds perfect! Wine, Yvonne, you and all the videos? I’m so in. Oh, definitely. I feel your pain, sister. It’s almost ridiculous. Maybe just punch him in the face? Will that work?

I’m sure you looked absolutely stunning, don’t be crazy. You’re a beautiful lady, there’s absolutely no way in hell you could look anything other than gorgeous. But brides always look stunning, so I don’t doubt that she looked perfect. Trust me, I’m not some hyper-macho crazy guy. I will willingly admit that I cry watching Disney movies with my daughters. I have no shame whatsoever. When you win? Someone’s confident. I like it. What do you want to give me when you lose?

You sure know how to pay a compliment. You’re not so bad yourself, y’know. The very definition of a hot dad, if you ask me. Disney definitely does have its tear jerkers so I won’t hold that against you. How are your girls, by the way? Still adorable and perfect? I don’t know if you know this about me, Johnny, but I’m very competitive and while I’m certain that I’ll win I guess I can indulge you for a second. What do you want?

No need to hike all the way back to Vancouver, I got you covered! You’re getting all access to the superhero dojo club, so we can have all the cake and poutine we want without a single regret. You’re cuddle bug is ready to make up for all the missing! Just be sure you’re extra ready for the hug attack because it’s going to be something else. Don’t worry though, you know I won’t let you fall.

Superhero dojo club? I’m so in! It has been way too long since I’ve had one of your hug attacks and I can’t wait for all the cuddles, cake and poutine. I’ve missed you terribly! We really shouldn’t be spending too much time apart, I’m having withdrawals and it ain’t pretty. Not even a little.

girls night in ❖ nina & lily

The brunette’s hands found their way onto her hips as her eyes surveyed the scene. Everything was perfect and ready for Lily’s arrival. It had been way too long since the two caught up and it was the perfect excuse to eat junk food, talk until the sun came up and ultimately destress. It was definitely something Nina had been craving since her life had been all work and no play for the past few months. Upon hearing a knock, Nina made her way to the door while Maverick barked up a storm and yet, still managed to beat the brunette to the door. Once she opened the door to reveal Lily, Nina could barely contain her excitement as she pulled her friend into a tight hug almost instantly. “Hi gorgeous! It’s been so long!” She pressed a quick kiss to Lily’s cheek before pulling out of the embrace. “You look great! I’m jealous!”

Pupper Love || Nina & Lauren

“You would look gorgeous. Very librarian chic.” Her own words making her laugh as she took off her specs for the pure task of wiping a puppy given smudge from the lens on her shirt. Years of eye wear upkeep made the action quick and soon the glasses were perched back over her nose. Her head quickly shaking in her effort to try and cement the fact nothing was wrong with such wild and pure happiness that was Maverick. “Whoever could be mad that this fluffy child would want to give them some love are clearly missing their hearts.” It didn’t hurt Lauren was an animal lover, in general, but she still stood by her words.

Waving over a waiter, she gave him one of her best smiles then gestured to her dear old friend. “Can we get some water for the cute puppy, please, and my friend will have–?” Words hanging there in waiting for Nina to finish them.

“Librarian chic,” Nina repeated with a nod, unable to refrain from laughing. “Hopefully one of the nice librarians and not someone who goes on ridiculous power trips for absolutely no reason. They’re no fun.” Thankfully for the brunette, it seemed as though the puppy was finally beginning to tire as she remained relatively still as her eyes wandered and took in their new surroundings. Nina truly adored how energetic her new companion was but this was still a nice, welcomed break from running around. “Agreed, definitely but no one has yelled at me today so that’s an improvement. At this point all I can do is hope that she doesn’t scare anyone,” she added with a shrug, shifting her attention back to her dog. She looked up at the waiter once Lauren spoke again and a wide smile spreading across her lips as their eyes met. “Hi, just a matcha latte would be lovely. Thank you so much.”

lunch date with sprinkles ❖ nina & sharna

“Oh you don’t know the half of it.” Sharna laughed. She’d known Nina for a while but the pair had never really hung out before and certainly hadn’t since Eve was born. They ran in some of the same circles but seemed to always miss each other. “Are you kidding? This is what I call ‘Mum attire.’ Barely any makeup, hair thrown about, this is my new normal. It’s fine with me, but it is a little less than glam.” She rolled her eyes with a smile. “Alrighty then, lunch for the queen it is!” She scooped up the toddler and pressed a kiss to her cheek before heading over to the car and getting her situated in her seat. “We can put the top down and you can drive if you want. I have no problems relinquishing control of the driver’s seat.”

Nina laughed, shaking her head. This afternoon was already shaping up to be incredibly fun and a part of Nina couldn’t help but wonder why they hadn’t done this before. They certainly were around each other enough but then again, they remained periphery friends and didn’t know each other all too well. Whatever the case, Nina was glad that they were finally able to get together and get to know each other properly. “Mom attire? There’s nothing wrong with that. No one can wear sequins and rhinestones every single day. That’s just way too much work. You are still gorgeous!” The brunette walked with her, nodding her head as she watched the red head help her daughter into the car seat. “Top down could be fun but you should drive the queen. I’m a great passenger, I even have snacks!”

At least there is an expression most of the time, she could just erupt you know. But yeah, don’t worry, it’s probably not as bad as I make it seem, I’m just her mum so I think any time she’s throwing a fit is awful. I think I still have videos of Eve somewhere, but it’s so adorable. Screwing the person who says otherwise is how I got here in the first place.

Just erupt? Oh, my. I definitely need more time to deal with this whole thing, get used to the erupting and everything else. One teeny tiny baby step at a time. Kids throwing tantrums are awful always, no matter who you are and no matter where you are because weirdly enough, I think judgement comes with it if it’s in public but? All kids throw tantrums, it doesn’t mean anything. They’ll be over it in like five minutes. Videos? I need to see them! Maybe not literally this time, just send them an envelope filled with glitter. That’ll ruin their day for sure.

“HA! As if you could cheat on Dodger and Maverick like that. Come one, Nina, that wasn’t even convincing. Nope, I do not. It played years ago and my brain can’t register the title. I’m sure if you google the fact you can run across something. Or even Youtube in all ts helpfulness. But, that’s all my pocket has in the edible variety right now, oh sweet beautiful one. I would gladly share it with no ulterior motives but I would not say no to seeing my beloved pooch.”

“You know what? You could at least pretend to buy my bluffs! That’s what good friends are supposed to do! Oh, YouTube. Don’t know if I’ll end up finding it on there because I always end up in the dark corners of YouTube, watching people getting their pimples popped. It’s so gross and satisfying. Your pocket? Surely you can dig a little deeper than that. What’s going on at crafty? If you can find me something better than gum, I’ll bring Dodger to you right now but if not, we might go to the park, have a little run around. Try to see if there’s a potential for love and maybe start a new flirtationship between Dodger and Maverick? Endless possibilities.”

I managed to see some of the pictures from her wedding. What fairy tales are made of for sure so I am so glad you were able to attend and have a great time. A good nap goes a long way especially when it comes to hangovers sleeping it off never failed to work for me not that I have had many hangovers or anything …

Thank you, that’s honestly so sweet of you. It was a wonderful weekend. I love weddings. Oh, of course. You are a moose of dignity and good behaviour, who would never get so drunk as to forget what happened or wake up with a hangover and you definitely, definitely wouldn’t get that drunk at a Comic Con after party and I don’t have video footage of your incredible dance moves. If only we could all be as perfect as you, oh gorgeous and well-behaved one.

“He’s a dog, he’s got some wet kisses so slurp is the precise word to use in this situation. Probably? But, I did see a documentary on it once, they did a test and the wound they regularly cleaned on a guy as opposed to another getting licked by a dog: The dog treated one healed faster, so, go figure. So you got connections or something? Oh, sweet beautiful Nina who’s gorgeousness and kindness knows no bounds~. All I got on my for food, though, is gum.”

“Fine but I will only accept wet kisses from Dodger and if I happen to fall in love with more dogs, I’ll have to revaluate my choices and decisions. That’s so interesting! Do you remember the name of the documentary? I think I might look it up and watch it if I get a second alone. Oh my God, Chris. That is so kind of you to say! Stop, stop, you’re going to make me blush. Where did all of this come from? It’s so unexpected. Gum? That’s basically unforgivable but since I’ve been told that my kindness knows no bounds, I’ll still bring your gorgeous dog to you.”

Yeah, you can totally see it in their eyes or just the way they stand, like they’re getting really mad. It’s kinda cute but mildly terrifying to witness for the first time. Don’t worry, I’ve got you. Yeah especially when they’re little babies, they get milk drunk and it’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen. Thank you, I’m gonna take full credit for that.

That’s reassuring, not the calm before the storm expression. The fact that you’ve got me. That definitely helps! I love that! Milk drunk, I need to get as many videos and pictures of milk drunk babies in front of my face as soon as possible! You should. You deserve full credit! Screw anyone who says otherwise!
