“I am usually good about not doing that,  but she just looked so old and frail that I had to say yes. What if she dies tomorrow? I’d feel really bad.” Maybe the woman had been acting to get Emily’s pity and if she did it definitely had worked. “That’s fair. Same here. Not that I want to get anyone a rose either. I’m fine being single at the moment.” Just because she was single didn’t mean she was celibate, she was having fun. Emily laughed when he joked about his lack of a green thumb. “I like flowers but the commitment of trying to keep them alive is just a lot. I overwater them, or I think I already watered them and then it turns out I didn’t and they wilt. I don’t understand what people have against fake flowers. They can be just as aesthetically pleasing.” 

Chuckling, Preston ran a hand over his face. “You keep talking like that, and I’ll be hunting her down to buy the whole bunch. Fuck knows I don’t have that kind of money, especially not at $10 a pop. I know what you mean though. I have similar thoughts myself, it’s that weird anxiety that just kind of...Pops up.” His eyes fell to the ground momentarily before he brought them back up to focus on the woman. “Well, I’m glad to hear it. Single’s just about the only thing I know, so I guess I can say the same.” A blush crept up Preston’s cheeks at his own admission. Truth be told, he wasn’t quite as fine as he made himself out to be. Not that he was dying for a relationship, but some physical contact with someone who wasn’t paying him would have been welcome. “See! Now there’s something else we can relate on. I’m in the same boat. I love looking at real ones, sure, but you’re right about fakes. And, these days, they’re made so well half the time I can’t even tell!” Glancing at the commotion around them, he shoved his hands into his pockets. “So, other than getting guilted out of ten bucks, how are you enjoying your time out here? There sure is a lot to do.”

“Oh, no I didn’t get this from anyone ‘special’. Do you know those old ladies who go around restaurants or public places like this one, handing you roses and they try to take like ten bucks for the one rose they gave you?” She laughed, shaking her head.  “That’s how I got it. I felt bad for saying no and giving it back to her, so I bought it. I know, I’m a sucker. Don’t laugh at me. So if you want to get a rose for someone, I’m sure she’s still around here somewhere, going between the stalls. It does smell nice though, even if I’m not a flowers type of girl.” 

Chuckling, Preston shook his head a bit, his eyes falling to the rose the woman was holding. “I can’t say much about that. I tend to do the same- guilt buy thins, I mean.” Shrugging, he slid his hands into his pockets absently, glancing around at everything going on as he took it all in. “I...Don’t really have a rose to get anyone for.” Preston said with a blush. “And, knowing me, the poor thing’ll die within 24 hours. One thing I do not have is a green thumb.” Joking, he shot her a teasing look before continuing. “But, I’m glad you’re enjoying it. It really is beautiful.”

Finding himself with a rare free night, Preston wasn’t all that sure what to do with himself. He hadn’t booked any clients for the evening, but the thought of sitting alone in his studio apartment didn’t seem appealing in the slightest. Although generally, Preston preferred being alone, tonight just wasn’t the night. Truth be told, he’d been feeling lonely. Sure, spending nearly every night with a client generally helped to dissuade that, there were nights he simply couldn’t fight the feelings that came alone with an empty bed. After wandering the streets of Charming for a while, Preston found himself standing outside Mayhem Maidens. Knowing the business was Wolf owned, he hoped he might find some sort of entertainment, company, or relief for the night. Stepping inside, he found himself scanning the crowd, looking for anyone he might have known. Spotting an empty seat at the bar, he made his way over, sliding onto the stool. “This seems like the place to be tonight.” He muttered. “Then again, this is the place to be on the weekends. You a first-timer, or a frequent customer?”

lena truly couldn’t remember if she had met him before. in a place like charming faces sometimes started to blur. she was shrugging and felt relief when he gave her his name,” nice to meet you preston,” she said after a moment,” we might have met but i don’t remember but i’m lena.” she shot him a smile and rested her hands in her lap. a small yawn came from her as he took a sip of his water,” i get it.” he was reaching for his water glass and she was glancing back towards his book. her head tilting as he began to talk about it,” werewolves huh? i have read one or two supernatural books and i can imagine that another show about supernatural creatures could flop with the many that are out there.” she was almost surprised by his reaction when she mentioned the book that she had been trying to read. at least trying to read time and time again. she was smiling a bit at the fact that he had obviously read the book,” too be honest i’ve started it time and time again,” she admitted,” the furthest i’ve gotten is when beverly is leaving her husband to go back to derry, the scene was a lot more graphic in the book then either version of the movie.” 

“Not a problem, I get it. To be honest I’m pretty bad with names myself, so truth be told I probably wouldn’t remember either.” Preston smiled with a nod. Noticing the yawn, Preston cocked an eyebrow. “Tired?” He asked casually, “Or, just bored?” He teased. “Oh, yeah. It has almost become a trope in its own right, if you ask me. Supernatural shit got so big so quickly, and I feel like all of a sudden it was everywhere. Movies, TV, books, lunchboxes, t-shirts...” Preston listed, rolling his eyes. “Like, everyone went so hard at it, now it’s just stale. But, like I said, this is decent at least. I don’t hate it.” He nodded eagerly as she continued her thoughts about ‘IT’, his smile widening. “Oh, my gosh, now you’re really flipping my nerd switch. I get what you mean, the book is a monster. But, it’s worth the read if you can push through. You’re right, though, the book is a lot more graphic, vivid even. I think that’s the beauty of it, though. It was the original way it was meant to be- to create that real tone of harshness, the violence that came along with the reality of the situation. I think things sometimes get watered down for television and movie adaptations, which is depressing. But, I guess maybe it’s harder for people to watch than read. And, you know, time constraints and whatnot. But, in a lot of ways, I think it provides a more authentic look at the characters. You get to know them better, more, and really...Make more of those connections.” Realizing he was rambling a bit, Preston dropped his head, a blush creeping across his cheeks. “I’m sorry, I’m just going on about this, I’m sure you weren’t looking for a dissertation.”

lena was instantly shocked when she realized what she had done. mostly because she never would have done it if she hadn’t been so out of it. she was tilting her head when she realized that she had sat across from someone she actually know. his face was familiar but she didn’t know his name. she noticed how he didn’t seem angry but almost looked a bit nervous. at least until she practically spat out that she was willing to pay for his meal. she let out a sigh of relief and smiled,” thank you.” she was glancing around once more only to see how busy the place was. she was glancing over at him and nodded,” they really are,” she agreed,” and i’m not always the best with conversation so no worries there!” she was going to lean back, noticing the book he was reading,” any good?’ she motioned towards it with her hand,” i’ve been trying to read stephen king’s it but i keep getting distracted.” 

“It’s no problem.” Preston replied, seeing the woman beginning to relax. “I’m Preston, by the way. I don’t think we’ve met. Maybe we have. I’ve got a shit memory, too. Forgive me.” He continued, glancing at the page he’d been reading and making a mental note of the page number before closing the book and sitting it aside. “Good to know I’m not alone in that respect. Sometimes, talking is just...Too much pressure.” Shrugging, Preston reached for his water glass and took a sip. When he was asked about his book, he nodded. “It is, actually. It’s not my typical genre or anything, I’m not generally one for werewolves and such. But, this one is actually pretty interesting. I’ve heard there are a few more in the series, and apparently they tried making a television show a few years ago that flopped. I still want to check it out though.” He laughed, his eyes brightening at the mention of one of his favorite authors. “I have to admit, I’m a huge King fan myself. And ‘IT’ is one of my favorites. But, I know what you mean, it can be a lot. There’s just so much to take in. How far into it have you gotten?” Despite not being a stellar conversationalist in general, there were a few topics anyone could use to motivate Preston to talk, and books and literature were one of them.

22, 35, 47

22.) do they have a fear they want to conquer, but haven’t yet?           -Preston’s biggest fear is failure, and not being able to make it as far as he’d like in life. It isn’t one he’s really looking to conquer, though, because he sees that fear as a motivator to keep himself on track. 

35.) are they possessive over their things? or over other people? both?           -He can get a little possessive over his things, but that’s only because he had to work so hard to get them. Preston doesn’t have much, but he’s proud of what he does have, and what he’s working to acquire. He isn’t necessarily one to be possessive over people, no. He does get jealous sometimes, but it isn’t a prominent feature/characteristic and he usually gets over it fairly quickly with a little reassurance. 

47.) do they like tv shows or movies? or neither?            -Ultimately Preston prefers reading over either, but if he had to choose he’d say movies. TV shows are alright, and there are a couple he likes, but he likes movies because they’re able to give you the whole story in one sitting.

10, 18, 30

10.) what shampoo scent do they like the best and why?            -Preston’s favorite shampoo scent is Paul Mitchell’s Lemon&Sage shampoo with tea tree oil. The enjoys the minty-ness of the tea tree oil when it mixes with the lemon, and he finds the sage earthy and calming.

18.) do they prefer cats or dogs? or neither?           -He likes both, but he’d prefer to have a dog. 

30.) is there something about their personality they want to change?           -Preston wishes he weren’t so closed off, and that he were better at expressing his emotions and thoughts. He also wishes he could be a better conversationalist outside of work.

all lena was thinking was that she was starving after what felt like the longest shift of her life. she normally would cook but all she was thinking was that she wanted a burger. what she hadn’t been expecting was for the diner to be jam packed. she honestly didn’t even think about what she was doing as she was going to lower herself into the booth that was already occupied with a slight huff. it felt like it was her first chance to actually sit down. she was sighing and then she realized exactly what she had done. in an instant her face was flushing and she wanted to disappear,” um,” she paused,” i’m sorry i just sat down but i honestly felt like i was gonna fall over and i’ll pay for your food if you allow me to keep you company and eat here.” 

Preston had been reading a book as he waited for his meal, the one he ordered virtually every night- a Caesar salad with fat-free dressing. He’d been lost in his own world, as he was want to do when around larger crowds. The diner was rarely anywhere close to empty, though tonight they were absolutely slammed. Preston was just about to flag down a waitress to request a refill on his water when he noticed a woman sliding into the seat across from him. His mouth fell open, though he couldn’t quite make any words come out. Thankfully, she spoke first. “It’s no problem, really.” He sighed, realizing he’d been holding his breath in the hopes she wasn’t someone sent to speak to him about some of his...Connections. “Seats are hard to come by, especially in a place like this. Make yourself comfortable, I don’t mind the company, if you don’t mind a poor conversationalist. I won’t even make you pay.”

a small sigh escaped from her lips as anastasia stood in front of the toys section, glancing at the various offers while holding onto loki’s leash in one hand. he had managed to destroy his favorite small football with his sharp canines the other day and since then he hadn’t stopped whining until she finally gave in, deciding to buy him another one. “i swear this is like your third football  in one month, boy”, she mumbled under her breath when he suddenly tugged roughly on the leash, almost knocking the other person to the floor while he barked in excitement at them. “loki, stop! sorry about that, he sill gets so excited whenever we come here that he’s even jumping on other people when i don’t solely focus on him. are you okay?”

Preston didn’t have a pet, though he’d been considering getting one. Living alone in his studio apartment did get lonely, lonelier than he’d have cared to openly admit. Having some spare time after his shift at Sweet Escapes, he decided to stop in at Paws and Claws, Charming’s one-stop-shop for everything animal, including the veterinarian. He’d been perusing, lost in his own mind when he felt a set of paws against this stomach, the force of them nearly knocking him completely over. “Woah there!” He exclaimed with a laugh, bringing his hands up to give the dog a good scratch behind the ears. Looking up, his eyes followed the leash attached to Loki’s collar, his eyes finding Ana’s in no time. “Oh, hey Ana! I didn’t know you had a dog! He’s handsome. Loki, is it?” Preston asked, offering a grin. “I’m good, it’ll take more than this guy to take me down. How’ve you been? I feel like I haven’t seen you in forever.”

Hello all! It’s Cherry, introducing my newest bean Preston Sterling. Below you will find his intro and bio information, so please just give this post a like and I’ll reach out to you for plots!

Name: Preston James Sterling Birthdate: March 10, 1992 Age: 28 Hometown: Los Angeles, California Residence: Charming, California Occupation: Delivery Driver for Sweet Escapes/Escort for the Wolves Sexuality: Bisexual

BIO -Preston James Sterling was born on March 10, 1992 in Los Angeles, California. His mother was a waitress at a local diner and he never knew his father as he ran off while Preston’s mom was pregnant with him. -Growing up, Preston was forced to raise himself much of the time, as his mother had to work long and often double shifts just to keep them afloat. Despite not seeing much of each other, Preston loved his mother fiercely, understanding that she was doing whatever she had to in order to provide the best life possible for him.  -Preston’s mother always pushed him to do well in school, believing that succeeding in education would get him as far as he wanted to go. But, feeling bad that his mother took on so much and virtually never took breaks, Preston wanted to do what he could to give back as soon as possible. So, he began working odd and part-time jobs when he was 15 years old, saving a small portion of money for himself but giving the rest to his mother for bills and food.  -Once Preston graduated from High School, he decided to explore other parts of the California landscape, looking for jobs he could do making fast cash, to continue helping his mother. -Making his way into Charming, Preston found just that. First, becoming involved in the Escorting business run by the Wicked Wolves, and taking a ‘cover job’ as a part time delivery driver for the local Sweet Escapes Bakery.  -Preston has been living and working in Charming for 5 years now, and is considered a resident. 

Wanted Connections Friends, other escorts he may have formed friendships with, hookups/FWB, just about anything else you can think of!
