once upon a time . . .

Fellow mortals, my name is Sarah. I like cooking, disney movies, coffee on cold mornings, live music and the occasional thunderstom to keep everybody on their toes.

Anyone else have a special hatred for teachers who schedule finals at 8PM?

[bengrayson-blog]

Awhile indeed, Miss Wiggin. Either you’ve been hiding out from me or you’ve forgotten about me. I can’t decide which I’d rather it be. How’ve you been?

[officialsarahwiggin]

And why must you assume it was I who was in hiding? Or I who forgot about you, hmm? - she raises her eyebrow, trying to be serious- I've been splendid, actually. In your absence, I had the chance to court with many of my fine suitors in waiting. -she is unable to contain her smile, letting out a small laugh in the process-

Listening to old school Britney because old school Britney was the best Britney.

Luckily, us culinary majors are never made to cook at that hour. I imagine it to be very unpleasant for your little academic brain, ofcourse. -smiles, teasing- It's been a while..

Yours truly, with Elijahbear.

[officialsarahwiggin]

I made a mocktail!

Strawberry, Mango, Lime & Pineapple! Delish & alcohol-free ;-)

[officialsarahwiggin]

So, it's my birthday this weekend.

[elijah-tate-blog]

If there’s food and/or alcohol, I’m in. 

[officialsarahwiggin]

I won't be providing alcohol since I don't drink, but feel free to bring your own. Food will be a definite, do you forget who you're speaking to young Elijah? I'm the culinary major extraordinaire.

[officialsarahwiggin]

Or a fireworks display - if possible! I just want to look at something beautiful light up the sky, preferably on a really, dark, chilly night. Is that weird? Infact, don't answer that. But it is my birthday, so. :)

What do you guys think?!

So, it's my birthday this weekend.

I'm hoping to have some sort of social gathering/event. It would be great to see a few of your faces there once I finalize the details. You all know the saying.. be there or be square.

Did Halloween come early this year?

[bre-booker-rp]

Aww, man. Classes, work, dude, sleep. My whole routine in a nutshell there. 

How are you?

[officialsarahwiggin]

I don't know, this place just feels haunted. For failure of a better word. It's like there's a presence, but it's very rarely acknowledged. I probably sound like I've lost my mind; I wouldn't hold it against you if you thought so too.

I've been good, surprisingly eager for Halloween. Although, I'm kind of creeped now.

I miss this dork.

I feel like I'm living among the dead. Where the hell is everybody?

You know, I’d like nothing more. And maybe I’ll have a surprise for you, too.

[officialsarahwiggin]

I'm sure you would. More surprises? Aren't I lucky..

Before The Clock Strikes Twelve || Ben & Sarah.

[bengrayson-blog]

As her scarlet lips graced his, it was all Ben could do not to seize her in his arms and make the embrace between the two of them last longer than a moment. His eyes fell closed and his lips moved in perfect harmony with hers for a beautiful moment, causing his lungs to drain of the oxygen inside them. Finally, as she pulled away and his eyes met hers again, Ben knew beyond any shadow of a doubt that she was a lot more than he reckoned for. The sparks that flew from their initial conversation had turned into lightning bolts by now, ones with the potential to light up even the darkest of night skies. Inhaling slowly, all words seemed lost to him. Everything he could think to say wouldn’t do her ears justice. Finally, as the world seemed to slowly fade back into relevancy, he inched back slowly, his hand still holding the side of her face and let the corners of his mouth rise into a smile.   His thumb caressed her cheek delicately as he still planned his next words carefully. “Do I look any different?” he whispered softly, words only meant for her ears. He smiled as her face turned into a puzzled expression. “Isn’t Beast supposed to turn into some handsome prince after something like that?” he said a bit louder, his lips parting for a wide smile.

Further disrupting the moment even further, Ben was forced to pull away to his side of the table as their meals were brought out to them. As soon as the wine was poured and their waitress stepped away from the table, he picked up his glass and raised it slightly, his lips still curled up into a smile. “To you,” he said, his eyes locked in place on hers as they had been for their entire evening. “Because that undefined quality you have deserves a little fine wine and a lot more recognition that it’s been given.” He raised his glass just a few inches more before bring it to his lips to take a sip, letting the warm, red Pinot Noir heat up his throat as it passed down. “Don’t hold it against me if our next date isn’t all this one’s cracking up to be,” he said, taking another sip with a smile still on his face as he waited for her reaction to his assumption that there’d be another date between the two of them.

[officialsarahwiggin]

Unable to process what she had just done, Sarah found herself sitting in silence while the meal was served. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever been the first person to make the move. She was stunned, bewildered and confused as to what had driven her to do so. Her eyes shifted towards her meal, unable to make eye contact with Ben just yet. She said a silent prayer that the rest of their evening would not suffer any awkwardness, due to her impatience. She wanted to physically knock herself out, but she knew that wasn't an option. Clearing her throat, she took a sip of water. She could still feel her lips tingle from the moment they came into contact with his. It was like a chemical reaction, the kind you don't realise is possible, until you see it before you. However, as amazing as it may have been, she was kicking herself for not being able to wait. Acting on impulse, was a habit she was yet to ditch. Upon hearing Ben speak, her eyes instinctively found their way to him. She smiled naturally, amidst slowly dying on the inside. "I think you're missing the moral of the story." Sarah pointed out, "In the end, the Beast was never truly hideous. He just needed Belle to show him that the world is full of beauty, especially when and where you least expect it." With that, she chinked her glass against his own, pausing to propose her own toast. "And to you, Ben. For making me feel like a true, disney princess." She smiled, taking a sip of the wine. Having starved herself all day so to enjoy the dinner, her stomach was begging to be filled. She had ordered a chicken dish, served with a side salad and lots of cheese. She couldn't help, but turn into a critic whenever food was placed infront of her. However, she already knew the food would be fantastic without having to taste anything. The restaurant had, had rave reviews, which was most likely why Ben had chosen it. When he proposed a second date, Sarah's lips curled into a smile. "Wow. I don't know. We seem to be escalating awfully quickly, don't you think?" She asked, referring to a previous comment of his. Skimming her fork into her salad, Sarah let her eyes stay steady on his own. "Isn't the next step to live happily ever after, anyway? If so, our second date shouldn't host any problems." She sent him a playful smile, letting him know that the fun was only just beginning.
