location: hotel hallway status: closed for @noahxashford​

the walk back to derek’s room was one she was still getting used to, and the amount of tequila sloshing around in her stomach was not improving her navigational skills. taking a left where she should’ve taken a right, she meadered down the hallway, reading off each door number as she passed, and frowned as it dawned on her that she only seemed to be heading further in the wrong direction. coming to a stop, derek sighed loudly and looked down at her key, refreshing her memory. it had to be on the opposite side of the hotel, given the numbers that were displayed on the doors around her. god, the last round of shots had been a mistake - but it wasn’t unlike her to refuse a free drink, especially from an attractive woman. turning around, she stalked off in the direction she’d come from, turning the corner quickly, only to nearly run right into another guest. “i’m so sorry, i’ve gotten myself all turned around, and - ” derek’s heart leapt into her throat as she looked up at the man standing before her and instantly recognized him. it had been three years since she’d last seen or heard from noah ashford; he’d upped and left london to go to italy, or somewhere equally attractive. and while things between them had ended as amicably as they could have, given her friendship with his ex-girlfriend and the fact that they’d slept together in the wake of the couple’s break-up, derek had never anticipated crossing paths with him again. but if she’d learned anything in her first few days at the hotel, it was that the place was full of surprises. “noah? what are you doing here?”

Noah had dealt with a drinking problem in the past, back when his fiancée had left him, and as much as this trip was about letting loose for him, he had still decided to be more responsible with his drinking to not fall back into old habits. His rule was to never drink two nights in a row, not unless there was an event at the hotel of some kind. So that night had been a quiet one for him, he had spent the day at the pool, eaten dinner at a restaurant and then turned in early to read a book. By the time he finished it, it was dark out and he decided to head out for a brief evening walk before he went to bed, get some fresh air. It was rare for London to have evenings as warm as the evenings here in California so he enjoyed making use of them when he could, given that he could rarely sleep untl the early hours of the morning anyway.

Walking from his room down the hallway to get outside, he had thought he would be alone at this hour and so hadn’t been careful to check for others. That turned out to be a mistake as he rounded a corner and crashed straight into another person. “Shit, no, I’m sorry, I wasn’t looking where - “ He cut himself off as he realized just who he had run into and surprise filled him. It seemed he kept running into people from his past these days and perhaps he shouldn’t still be surprised, but he was. “Derek,” he breathed, taking in her appearance. She looked every bit as beautiful as she had three years ago when he had last seen her. “I - my agent sent me here. To get over my writer’s block. What are you doing here?”

luciaas​:

if teasing was an olympic sport, lucia would take gold everytime. his reactions to her just encouraged her to continue. noah’s eagarness as he rushed up next to her and into the store excited her. she watched as he mindlessly grabbed a set of lingerie and began pulling her towards the dressing rooms. lucia couldn’t help but smirk as she nodded at his suggestion. when they reached the dressing room, she quickly pulled him in with her before locking the door. she grabbed the lingerie from his hands and threw it over in the corner before she placed her hand on his chest, roughly pushing him against the wall of the dressing room. “no point in trying on something that would only slow us down,” she grinned, her breathing heavy as her lips met noah’s in a heated kiss. her hands made their way into the waistband of his pants before she pulled away from his mouth and dragged her lips to his jaw before she began kissing and sucking softly on his neck. the blonde then pulled away completely as she dropped her knees infront of noah. she pulled down his pants then his underwear before smirking at the sight of his cock. her hand softly grasped his member as she slowly began jerking it back and forth. lucia looked up innocently at the brunette man through her lashes as she spoke, “what do you want me to do, tesoro?” she said, her tone feigning innocence. “tell me what you need from me,” she whispered seductively as her lips parted with need. lucia knew that noah would take control at some stage like they both really needed but right now, she was gonna enjoy the power she had over him.

He grinned as she pulled him into a dressing room, feeling every bit as eager himself as she seemed to be. He didn’t spare a glance at the lingerie she tossed aside, silently agreeing with her comment that it would only slow them down. Any other time, he might actually have liked to see her try something on for him, make a show of it, but today, seeing her again after so long, he just wanted to get his hands all over her naked body as soon as possible. They had much time to make up for. His smile widened as she harsly pushed him up against the wall of the dressing room, liking when she took control. It was more common for him to do so and he was sure their roles would switch at some point but there was something sexy about her determination that he liked as well. He sighed as she surged forward to connect their lips, one of his hands snaking up in her hair to hold her close as they kissed. The thrill of being in such a public place was quickly getting to his head and he had to bite back a groan as she started kissing and sucking across his jaw and neck, the hand in her hair tightening.

He looked down with hungry eyes as she dropped to her knees in front of him, sighing in relief as his cock was freed from its confinement of his jeans and boxers and he let his hands fall to his side. God she was a tease, the way she jerked his length so slowly, looking up at him so innocently when they both knew she was anything but. His cock was almost completely hard at this point and at the question of what he wanted, a choked chuckle left him. “You’re already on your knees and you’re asking me what I want. I think you want to hear me say how badly I want your mouth on me,” he replied in a low voice, his hips jerking into the touch of her hand. “But fuck, I do.” He reached out with a hand, letting his thumb trace her lips and dipping it briefly into her wet mouth. “I want to feel your lips around my cock, want you to suck me as good as I know you can, baby.”

[noahxashford]

luciaas​:

lucia nodded eagerly as he spoke, her eyes full of excitement. “whatever you need, i’ll provide.” as he leaned down to her ear and whispered, she felt her breath hitch and her lips part in anticipation. the blonde took a step closer as she watched him take a step back, their bodies practically pressed against each other. she didn’t take her eyes off his as she slid her hand down from his chest to his bulge, squeezing it softly as she spoke. “i think you need me to make you feel good, amore mio.” she teased before moving her hand back to her side. “i’m nothing if not a tease, you know this all too well,” lucia smirked as she arched her brow at his suggestion. “lead the way then, noah.” she said before slowly leaning up towards his ear and wrapping her arms around neck, her nails raking the back of his head gently. “i’m about to rock your world, tesoro.” lucia whispered, her tongue darting out and licking the frame of his ear slowly before she moved away and grinned unashamedly, making her way towards the lingerie shop.

It was impossible not to feel smug when he heard the way her breath hitched as he whispered into her ear, his breath caressing her, but she had every reason to be smug herself as she gave just as good in return. He glanced down at her hand tracing his chest down to cup him in his jeans, squeezing his half-hard cock and he let out a low groan. “I think you’re right,” he agreed. “Cazzo, you’re right.” He did know she was a tease, could be a brat even, but he loved that about her. A shiver ran down his spine as her nails scratched softly at his scalp and at her promise to rock his world, followed by her tongue licking at his ear, it took him a moment to realize she had started walking towards the shop, a moment where he stood frozen in the same spot, eyes closed, enrapted, before he pulled himself out of it. Quickly walking up beside her, he made his way to the shop, went inside and tore down the first set of lingerie inside the door, not checking for style or size. “You should try this on,” he said in a husky voice, pulling her towards the dressing rooms. 

[noahxashford]

luciaas​:

lucia couldn’t hide the look of amusement on her face. she’d always loved her flirty, playful interactions with noah and this one was no different. the blonde felt her skin heat up as she felt noah’s hand brush against the side of her face. her brow arched at his offer as she grinned, “if business is what you want me for, i’ll do whatever you need me to.” lucia smirked at his next sentence as she watched the look in his eyes darken which excited her. she could tell her teasing was working and she knew it would get her what she wanted in the end. “i agree, business can wait,” she chuckled as she glaced down at his pants before looking back up. “i think we both need the pleasure,” she whispered, locking eyes with him. after taking a final lick at the ice cream, she threw the rest into a nearby trash can. her finger wiped across the corner of her mouth before she placed it in between her lips, slowly sucking away the left over vanilla. lucia batted her lashes as she looked up at noah. “now that there’s nothing to be jealous of, why don’t you take me back to your place so i can remind you of what else my mouth can do other than eat ice cream?” she said softly, her teeth sinking into her bottom lip. 

Noah loved the effect he had on her, the way her skin flushed when he reached out to touch her. It made him eager to touch her more, in other, intimate places to see the effect that would have. “Whatever I need?” he repeated with intrigue. “I’ll definitely want you for some business then, if that’s the case.” He noted the way she glanced down at the front of his pants, sure that she could tell he was already half-hard just from their teasing banter, but he couldn’t find it in himself to be ashamed of that. He imagined her own body was reacting in its own ways as well. “Oh, you think we need the pleasure?” He stepped even closer, leaning in to breathe into her ear. “Tell me, do you need me to make you feel good, dolcezza?” He took a step back and watched, mesmerized, as she sucked the ice cream from her fingers, his own tongue darting out instinctively, enviously. “Tease,” he whispered with a fond smirk. He considered her suggestion for a moment. “I could but that seems so awfully far away. At least considered to other facilities available...” He gestured his head towards the lingerie shop which was only a few stores down, lifting an eyebrow at her in challenge.

[noahxashford]

luciaas​:

“of course i missed you, how could i not?” lucia grinned as she watched the question leave noah’s lips. her mind was gone as she began to think of the feeling on those lips over every inch of her body. the blonde was completely lost in thought as she reminisced. she shook her head to snap herself out of it, forcing her to concentrate on the conversation at hand. “pleasure, of course. pleasure is.. good,” she mumbled, clearly flustered at her thoughts. she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as she composed herself. “i mean, if a friend was in dire need of my business expertise,” she teased sarcastically with a smirk, knowing she had near to no business knowledge, “i would be happy to help.” the blonde tilted her head at noah as he spoke, her lips curved in a smile as she tried to hide her earlier fumble. “obviously, pleasure is more my area of expertise so i could be more of use there but, a friend in need is a friend in need,” lucia shruggled, taking a step closer as she brought her ice cream to her lips once again, locking eyes with noah. “what are you in need of, tesoro?” she said in a hushed sultry voice, her tongue licking away at the end of her ice cream. 

Noah’s features softened, his smile turning gentle when Lucia said that she had missed him. He had only fond memories of the two of them and while he was okay with the belief that he would never see her again, and their fling would just be a summer one, he was glad that he got to spend more time with her now.  His smile turned more amused, smirking, when he noticed her fluster and he raised his hand to trace the same path behind her ear as she just had. “Pleasure is very good,” he agreed. He chuckled when she offered her business expertise, pretending to look intrigued. “Oh? Well, why don’t you come back to my place then? I’d love a second opinion on something I’ve written.” He hadn’t written anything in a while, he just wanted to tease her, see if she would actually go through with her offer. His eyes darkened as she stepped closer and spoke Italian in that sultry voice of hers, asking him what he needed as she licked at her ice cream and he could feel his pants tighten at the image she offered. “On second thought, maybe we should skip the business, go straight to the pleasure,” he said in a low voice, his gaze flashing between her eyes and mouth. “I’m starting to get quite envious of that ice cream for example.”

[noahxashford]

luciaas​:

lucia felt her skin heat under noah’s glare. despite all their time spent together, he still had the same profound effect on her that he’d had back in italy. she loved it when he spoke in italian, it excited her. even just hearing him speak in his british accent did things to her. the blonde playfully flipped her hair as she laughed at his words, “a compliment never hurt anybody, amore.” her tongue took a slow lick at her ice cream as she watched noah take a step closer to her. “you always look good enough to eat,” she teased, poking him lightly in the chest. “i would’ve never expected to find you here,” lucia smirked, “business or pleasure?” she asked as she glared up at him, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “i’d be glad to help with either." 

He hummed, glancing down at her mouth as her tongue darted out once more. He knew she was likely teasing him but god, did it work, the memories that mouth evoked in him. “True enough. Then did you miss me?” This hotel was an atypical place for him to be, so he could only imagine her surprise at seeing him here was just as big as his own. “It’s a bit of both actually. Mostly pleasure, though. Thankfully” He caught the mischievious glint in her eyes, and he liked knowing that she was still interested in him, in them, just as he was himself. It had always been easy, natural, between them, this flirting back and forth. “You’d be glad to help me with the business part as well?” he asked with amusement, lifting a skeptic eyebrow. “And here I took you for someone who was all about the pleasure.”

[noahxashford]

luciaas​:

after an intense weekend at the hotel, lucia decided to go for an ice cream at her new favourite place that was just a few minutes away. she was wearing a short red sundress that flowed over her curves as she walked, while her eyes were covered by a pair of sunglasses. the blonde strolled out of the ice cream shop with a cone of vanilla in hand. as she began to walk back towards the hotel, a familiar looking man caught her eye and she couldn’t hide her suprise. she scoffed in disbelief at the sight of him and tried to convince herself that it wasn’t possible. her summer fling? after catching a proper glimpse at him, lucia’s lips curved up into a smirk as she realised it was indeed, noah ashford. she was instantly reminded of the delicious, toe-curling summer she had spent in italy. eventually, she found herself walking in his direction. “well, aren’t you still a sight for sore eyes, amore mio,” lucia teased with a wide grin as she stood in front of the man. she lifted her glasses to the top of her head as she took a slow lick from her ice cream cone, her eyes hungrily raking over noah’s body before she spoke once again. “miss me?”

( closed starter for @noahxashford​ !! )

If there was one person Noah had not expected to see here, in California, it was his summer flirt from Italy. Sure, he knew that she was American, but still, what were the odds of them running into each other like this?

He didn’t recognize her at first glance, not with the sunglasses covering her face, and for a moment he thought she was simply a stranger flirting with him - something he wasn’t opposed to as the short sundress she wore showed off a gorgeous body, but then it slowly came back to him, the recognition of that body, the memories of the time he had spent with those legs wrapped around him and if there had been any doubt at all, the Italian that fell flawlessly from her lips only solidified what he already knew to be true, that it was her. Lucia. 

He checked her out without a trace of shame, took in every inch of her skin, his eyes finally falling on the way her tongue darted out to lick at her ice cream, something sparking in him at the sight. “Says you, bella,” he replied, feeling a smile of his own graze his lips. This was a nice surprise, something that would undoubtedly make his stay here far more fun. “Ah, certamente, but I’m sure you already knew that and just wanted the compliment,” he teased. “You look as delectable as always,” he noted, taking a step closer to her.

isabels​:

isabel was pleasantly surprised with the response she received from the stranger – so much so that she stayed how she was, a pleasant smile now on her lips. she wondered if she stayed like that whether he’d come close her, let her outstretched arm graze his skin. but that kind of thing only happened in the movies, and she knew better than to expect it.

she opened her eyes finally and looked sideways at the man in the pool. he looked almost as she’d expected him too – larger, perhaps, but considering than he was clearly larger than most men, could she be blamed? “is it just us?” she asked, giving him a half smile. “that’s good. we can get to know each other.” it was somewhere between genuine and flirtatious – after all, that’s kind of why she was here, right? sex, sure – but sex and human connection? 

she curled her legs and put her feet back on the bottom of the pool so she could stand. the depth came to her waist, and she danced her hands across the surface of the water. “i’m isabel,” she said, wading towards him.

Noah watched with hungry eyes as the water gently rocked the beautiful woman before him, caressing her skin in a way that left his fingers envious to do the same. As he looked from the curve of her hips and breasts up onto her face, he realized she had opened her eyes in the meantime and would undoubtedly have seen his eyes take in her form but he couldn’t find it in him to feel apologetic.

Her eyes was every bit as gorgeous as the rest of her and he was pleased to find her flirting back at him. It had been a long time since Noah had been straightforward and unabashed in his behaviour but his agent must have known him well, known that the atmosphere of this place would drive him back into old habits. It helped that the woman was clearly as interested as he was himself. “Just us,” he confirmed with a smirk. “I definitely didn’t expect to get so lucky, sharing the pool with no one but a stunning woman like yourself.” 

He watched her closely as she stood up, watched the droplets of water sliding down her flawless skin, down between her neck and breasts, and was pleased to find that she was coming closer to him. “Isabel,” he repeated, tasting how it sounded on his tongue. “I’m Noah. It’s very much a pleasure to meet you.”

location: pool. closed with: @noahxashford​.

god, she missed the southern california weather. the coast’s, anyway. it was the perfect kind of warm – where being in a pool was still comfortable. the water was still cool, but the sun could dry your skin in minutes. not a drop of sweat. it was nothing like the new york summers, where your best option was a cool office with an overworked air conditioner. isabel floated on her back with her eyes closed, focused on the feeling of water gently lapping her bare skin. she hummed quietly to herself – no particular song that she knew, just a gentle melody to fill the gentle quiet. 

she heard movement around her and the water keeping her up started to move differently, lapping higher over her stomach than it had been. she kept her eyes closed and smiled. “am i in your way?” she moved her arms out slowly to see how close they were. “i suppose i could move to the hot tub… if it bothers you.”

Noah was still getting used to the heat. Despite his traveling to Italy and New York in the past few years, he would always be a Londoner at heart, used to a more temperate climate. It made him seek out water whenever he could, something that had been lacking in New York but fortunately was plentiful in California and he was currently heading to the hotel pool, a bottle of water and towel in hand. He was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn’t filled with people but he supposed that was one of the things you paid for at this hotel, no screaming children running around and families occupying every lounge chair so you couldn’t get one for yourself. There was only one other person currently in the water and no one around the pool area so Noah picked a random chair to displace his towel and water before going to dive into the pool.

He faltered for a moment as he took in the woman floating on her back, looking peaceful and - was she humming to herself? She was stunning and Noah took the opportunity to watch her, as she had her own eyes closed, lowering himself into the cool water with a sigh as it washed over his overheated skin. Noticing the smile on her lips, he wondered if he had been discovered in checking her out so blatantly but her eyes were still closed. “Not at all,” he answered to her question of whether she was in his way. On the contrary, he’d much prefer that she stayed exactly as she was - or perhaps floated a bit closer to him. “Why would it bother me?” he asked curiously. “I’d say that’s the last thing it does. Plus there’s plenty of room for both of us here. I expected way more people. It was a nice surprise to find only you.”

dana-richards-lhrp​:

The Hotel kept exceeding her expectations. A sexy Disney beach party? How could she ever refuse such an adventure? Dana had rifled through the rack until she had found exactly what she wanted. Honestly, she wondered why she just hadn’t worn something like this around the hotel before. Perhaps she still bought into too much of the culture of modesty. Most of them were here to go wild with no inhibitions or judgment. They might as well dress the part.

Stepping onto the beach as Esmeralda was like something from a dream. Of course, she had dressed up as Disney princesses as a little girl for Halloween, who hadn’t? But this? This was different. Hips swaying seductively, the brunette chose a spot on the beach, put down her towel, and leaned back with a sigh of content, her well-curved hips and toned legs on display. princess for a day and intent on soaking in some rays and attracting another prince or princess.

It was interesting to see who people came dressed as for the Disney themed party. It had been a nice icebreaker for the day so far, talking about people’s costumes and the movies they were from. Noah had admittedly mostly chosen his character, Hercules, based on what he thought would suit him, his physique. He worked hard on his arms and legs so it felt good to show them off and the California sun meant he had the chance to do so. Heading to the beach, he was glad he had chosen a costume with bare legs as he looked at the poor guys in full costumes sweating in the sun. He could easily understand the women who had chosen to opt for very little clothing.

Walking along the sand, enjoying the sound of the ocean and the sun on his face, he stopped when he spotted a familiar face. It wasn’t someone he knew as well as Liana, who he had also run into earlier, but enough that he thought he should go and say hi at the least. “You’re looking lovely today, Esmeralda,” he said as he approached her, taking in her costume, and the body it came in, appreciatingly. “I’ve always thought you look very beautiful in the movie but today, it’s just - wow.”

benjruiz​:

location: the lingerie & sex shop

It’d been a long time since Ben had had sex for any occasion other than his birthday or a scheduled pump and dump on top of his barely interested now-ex wife. He felt a little seedy about going out of his way, to a specific hotel solely in a quest for some ass, but people did that, right? Adults did that. It was fine. And it was gonna happen. 

Ben had suffered a few days of self doubt after he’d first considered coming. Would he even be able to pick someone up after so long out of the game? He barely remembered how that went, much less successfully. 

He didn’t know whether it was pure preparation or maybe also a bit of a stall on arriving to the hotel, but he wandered into the sex shop on the way. He knew he should pick up some lube and condoms, at the very least, but got sidetracked by some of the lingerie. He’d never really considered himself very interested in it, and had always considered it something for people who were older, or webcam girls who just liked to tease and never show. But his perception of lingerie was apparently outdated, because the sexy and slutty styles displayed on the mannequins were of great interest to his balls suddenly. 

He stood looking at some of the options, and reached out to touch some of the lace panties folded on a table. 

‘Make connections’ was the first thing the list from his agent said. He had memorized it on the plane, the list of a things that his agent believed he needed to get over his writer’s block. Apparantly being a recluse was a thing of his past as of today. He was wandering around the hotel area, looking at people - without, hopefully, being too obvious - to try to decide who he should talk to. He quickly decided against the people walking in pairs or groups as that seemed more daunting somehow. No, he wanted to find someone who was on his own, like he was himself.

It was strange that it was so challenging for him to just walk up to someone and strike a conversation because he used to be good at that sort of thing. But in recent years, well, he had kept so much to himself that he had more or less forgotten how it worked. After having walked around for about an hour, he shook his head at himself and silently called himself a coward, deciding then and there that the next person he saw who was alone and around his own age, he would walk up to.

It was just his luck that it happened to be another guy in the sex shop.

He debated with himself whether it was too creepy or invasive to talk to a stranger in a shop like this one, where people probably wanted privacy but then considering the shop actually belonged to the hotel, well, it wouldn’t be like walking up to a stranger in any other sex shop, he reasoned. Before he could talk himself out of it, he walked over next to the other man, pretending like he was looking at the lingerie himself.

“Shopping for a partner?” he asked, the other male’s good looks not having escaped his notice and well - he was curious.

location: at the party

exclusive thread: @noahxashford​

liana fought the urge to chuckle when she saw the other man. she did not know what was up with this hotel, but she was always impressed with the new comers. even in casual clothing, she could recognize noah from an impressive distance. the realistic costume also helped highlighting his distinctive features. she strut towards him, tapping gently on his shoulder until he turned around. “well, well, well… someone should call homer. for a second, i thought i was thrown back into the iliad. where’s achilles at?” she eyed him from head to toe again. “nice pick.” 

For the briefest moment, Noah thought someone was hitting on him as he heard the Homer comment and he felt a smirk brush his lips as he turned around, ready to flirt back. He had not expected for it to be a familiar face and his smirk fell in surprise before making way for a more genuine smile. “Liana Gallagher, as I live and breathe,” he said, taking in her costume. “Nice pick yourself. Very you, the Aristocats, the little lady cat, the suit all of it.” He had wondered whether he might know anyone at the hotel, had feared who it might be, but Liana was a pleasant surprise. “I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised to see you here, really,” he said with a chuckle.

location: outisde the hotel

open thread: disney after dark.

standing around people in lacey lingerie with glitter minnie mouse ears sounded like one of her wildest fantasies. as veronica bit into the orange slice of her sangria, she turned to the person next to her. “i don’t know about you, but all i want to do is come back to my room and watch disney movies now! i mean, that’s what i do every night, but the craving is stronger because of the party.”

Noah jumped a little when someone next to him spoke to him and he turned around to see a sexy version of Minnie Mouse, trying to be subtle as he took in her beautiful form in the lingerie but likely failing. “I think you’re doing it wrong if you’re at a party at a gorgeous hotel in sunny California and you want to retreat to your room to watch movies,” he mused. “I get it, though. All these costumes has left me stuck with Disney songs in my head all night. I’d say it sounds like a perfect plan for tomorrow, cooling down after tonight with a bunch of Disney movies.”

Mira couldn’t imagine the comments she’d get from her friends and family if they saw her in her current state. Dressed as a highly sexualized version of Princess Jasmine, lipstick long worn off from a night of heavy talking, and carrying her heels in one hand as she tried to scurry through the Love Hotel at 5:52 am. She’d sworn it’d only been midnight last time she checked, but they do say time flies when you’re drunk and dancing. 

She slid into the elevator and was puzzled by the digital button control pad for a few long seconds before making sense of it, and hit the button to start closing the doors. 

Noah wasn’t one to usually stay out this late but it was his first night at the hotel and had turned out to be more fun than he had expected, the Disney themed party a perfect start to his time here. Caught somewhere between sobering up and still being drunk, he headed towards his hotel room. Noticing the elevator was about to close, he hurried over to put his hand between the doors. His eyes lit up when he noticed the beautiful girl inside the elevator - this hotel was truly filled with nothing but gorgeous people - and he bowed. “Princess Jasmine,” he said in a mock serious tone before stepping inside the elevator next to her. “No flying carpet tonight?”

HE is into DADDY KINK AND PUBLIC SEX, but not into SCAT AND FEET. by the way, he reminds me of INK STAINED HANDS AND FLANNEL SHIRTS. i have a feeling things just got interesting!

you can also read a bit more about him here although it’s still a wip!!

background

noah comes from london where his parents gave birth to him as an accident but they still loved him very much. they had just never planned to have kids as they were both busy with their careers (his dad is a chef, his mom is an attorney) and a child wasn’t something they had much time or energy for but they did the best they could with noah

still, they were away a lot and noah was left a lot to himself and that’s why he started reading a lot, to escape into different worlds and realities

he did well in school, especially in english and quickly discovered his love of writing 

he’s also always loved cooking as it was the one thing he shared with his dad whenever they spent quality time together

but writing was his true passion so after high school, he studied literature and creative writing at uni to pursue it as a career

he’s had a few succesful books but isn’t that big a name (yet)

at uni, he met the woman who would become his girlfriend and they quickly moved in and started talking about marriage. noah was totally head over heels. it was his first serious relationship. while they were engaged, she became pregnant but almost at full term, she was in a car accident and lost the child

this ruined things between them and she left him soon after

he’s been kind of a depressed mess since, living as a recluse, sleep deprived and not really taking care of himself, just trying to write. 

a visual of him in the time after his fiancee left:

recent years

he started slowly getting over her by first sleeping around and such, then gradually coping more healthily by traveling and writing. 

he stayed a year in italy two years ago and speaks pretty good italian

he’s since then stayed in america

now

he’s recently started having writers block and that’s why his agent decided to send him to this place

noah was a bit skeptic but figured at least it could be a nice holiday lol

but his agent hopes that by unwinding/relaxing, his creative juices might start flowing more freely

wanted connections

literally anything?? just hmu
