ย ย ย with a couple glasses of wine in him and buoyed by the safety of being in his own apartment, emery is as relaxed as heโs ever been. it helps that his company is one of his best friends in the world besides winnie himself, too. and to complete the feeling of serenity, lady has her backside firmly pressed against emery and her head lying complacently on nicโs thigh.ย โthis guy today,โ he tells her, carefully pouring more pinot into each of their glasses without dislodging lady,ย โbrought a corn snake into the clinic. she was so sweet, i wish people brought snakes in more often. winnie would lose it if i got a pet snake, i bet.โ he pouts, sighs, and takes a sip.ย โhave you ever seen a tarantula in real life?โ ( @ofnicole )
ย ย ย ย both legs are tucked beneath her, one knee jutting out enough to give ample space for lady to rest her head against nicoleโs thigh. sharing a bottle of wine with one of her best friends, unwinding with an adorably affectionate pooch snuggled up with themย โ itโs exactly the type of evening sheโs needed. however, as they start drifting from the normal talk of cute household animals to the more exotic choices, she almost spits out the sip of wine taken after the refill. fortunately, she manages to swallow without an external fuss before shooting emery a look thatโs both a combination of disgust and amusement.ย โ ewโ em. no. iโve never seen one in real life and i never want to. i can deal with reptiles, but bugsโ spiders? iโd rather experience a britney spears-esque midlife crisis and shave my head. โย with the bridge of her nose scrunched up, nicole gives a shake of her head before returning her attention to lady whoโs comfortably nestled between the two of them, free hand gently massaging behind the dogโs ears.ย โ snakes are ... okay. i donโt know if i could live with one, though, so no offence but iโd side with winnie on that one. why donโt you get a turtle? theyโre kindaโ cute in like .. an old, fragile man way.ย โ
โ โด รฉmeline watched, horrified, as her dog ran up to someone and immediately began begging for food. she followed behind the samoyed, shaking her head.ย โย oh god, i am soย sorry, โย she apologised.ย โย you should absolutely not give in to her begging, iโm so sorry,ย โย รฉmme said.ย โย arrรชtes, coco. โ
ย ย ย ย dogs will forever hold a sweet, special place in the young internโs heart. thereโs not a day that goes by where she doesnโt interact with a dog, whether it be a strangerโs passing on the street or a well-deserved visit with a friendโs fur baby; nicole is very much a dog person. however, as sheโs stepping away from a hot dog stand with a loaded, barbecued wiener in hand, she certainly isnโt prepared for the zooming white fluff approaching at an alarmingly fast pace.ย โ oโFUCKโโ pup! โย as soon as the initial shock wears down and she realizes this dog isnโt out to maul her, a giggle bubbles up from the blonde, squatting down slightly to gingerly give her new friend a few scratches behind the ear, while making sure to hold her lunch out of the animalโs reach. blue hues lift to focus on the presumedย owner and a docile smile tugs at the corners of her lips.ย โ oh no, itโs totally fine! donโt worry about it. coco and i share the same priorities, obviously. โย her smile brightens and, with one last pet given, nicole raises up from her squatted position to stand once more, free hand lifting to tuck a blonde strand behind her ear.ย โ how old is she? โ
โUnderstaffed shift, shit tipsโฆI fucking hate working as a server. This new job sucks. I mean, at least at my last restaurant the dude who owned the place didnโt care if I showed up high and let us drink during happy hour. Whatโs with these uptight managers? The fuck? At least I got a job to barely afford alcohol.โ Jacob turned from the person he was talking to and picked up a bottle of vodka from the shelf in the store.ย
ย ย ย ย โ sounds like you should start looking for a new job? โย rosy lips form the sentence with ease, her tone hinting it to merely be a suggestion painted from a vague observation. there could be more detail behind the disheveled curtains than he's letting on, but nicole currently holds not a single shred of patience to play therapist and delve a little deeper. sheโs on a mission.ย ย โ i mean, if youโre really as unhappy as you claim to be, thereโs loads of other work out here.ย ย plenty of opportunities to get shitfaced on the clock. โย slender fingers wrap around the neck of a bottle containing the highest percentage of alcohol that her blue hues can quickly register, gingerly lifting it from the shelf to examine momentarily.

( &&. BACKGROUND )
a vancouver native, her mother died giving birth to nicole, so the only family sheโs known her whole life are her siblings, who sheโs fiercely protective of, and the father she refuses to have any sort of authentic relationship with due to his sporadic absences. just a few months after her thirteenth birthday, papa potter up and moved their small family across the continent to a trailer park in california, where he left them at unannounced times to fend for themselves. while it wasnโt an ideal situation by any means, in a way it gave nicole purpose; taking care of herself and helping take care of her siblings as she matured. not to mention the added responsibility they all shared in paying rent and surviving in general.
while she picked up the odd job at a convenience store or gas station as a teenager, the eldest potter girl had a fascination with the dark web. at a young age, she was incredibly adept with programming and knowing the innards of computers in general, and the internet was like her playground. it started off very innocent, scamming people across the globe to deposit money into her account ( whether it be out of pity, infatuation, or sheer stupidity ). but after toying with malware and developing her own cryptic coding techniques over the years, nicole became something of a little hacker, which is now her main source of income for the family. posing as a cam girl, she coaxes the information needed out of her ย โ clientele โ before springing an unforeseen attack on them. she doesnโt completely drain their accounts ( unless theyโre disgusting pigs and sheโs feeling spiteful ), but she certainly walks away with a large chunk from their savings.
in school, she did absolutely stellar with her grades but โdidnโt fully apply herselfโ according to the majority of her teachers, who frankly werenโt incorrect. nicole didnโt give a shit about her education, deeming high school as a ploy to train young minds to live by the same routine, day in and day out, once they graduated and moved onto the real world. however, despite her practiced skill in technological stealth, she couldnโt exactly bring in all this money without everyone in her small neighbourhood growing suspicious of the formerly poor potterโs newly formed middle class wealth.
sO homegirl ended up applying to university anyway, getting accepted into nyu with a computer science major. she packed up her shit at the age of nineteen and moved across the country into the apartment complex sheโs now been residing in for a little over five years. of course, nicole still pulls some trickery online with her faux cam girl stunt, but sheโs genuinely enjoying school and the internship awarded through her programโs work placement.
