          Relief quickly washed over him, and it made sense as soon as he was in front of Gaby and the food truck as to why they had both headed this direction. Derek and then him in pursuit. Gaby was a sucker and would apparently safeguard his little brother when the grown adult was having a meltdown. The amount of sympathy Jeremy held for Derek was slowly dwindling. They’d all been dealt a hard blow by losing their parents but by now, well, it was more of a crutch to the youngest Lincoln. “Gaby, I appreciate that you’ve got a big heart and all, but… a beer and food? He’s just mooching off you, you know? Taking advantage…” Same as he did at Fish’N’Chadwick, helping himself to whatever he wanted without a thought to the fact that somebody had to pay for it. Something relatable to a lopsided smile appeared at the way she protected Derek. It was somewhat endearing. “Seriously?” A groan escaped him as Jeremy ran his large hand down his face. “Alright, yeah… please. You think maybe I could get a beer while I wait?” Pulling some cash from his pocket, he placed twenty-five down to pay for his and Derek’s.

Gaby wasn’t sure the exact details of why Jeremy and Derek were fighting or what they’d gone through. She knew that they had lost a parent and that was enough to tug at her heartstrings. As always, Gaby was quick to try and rectify his tormented mood. It was the least she could do. So when Jeremy made it seem that it was Derek who’d come to find her with the hope of getting  a beer and food, she was quick to deny those claims. In fact, she took on a whole defensive stance with her hands on her hips. “No, I offered it to him when I saw him. He just needed some time to calm down. I would have done the same for you.” Or anyone else for that matter. “Of course I can get you a beer.” With a wink, the petite brunette turned and headed inside to grab two beers. Upon her return, she scoffed and handed one can as well as his money back to him. “Don’t even try it. You know better than that.” They both worked hard in the food business and she liked to show her appreciation through free food. “Please, Jer — take it.”

“Have you tried like a carrot or something?” The words were cliche, but hey maybe they actually held some true within them. Nonetheless, he was quick to nod. How the hell was he suppose to turn down free food for a month? Unfortunately, Remington would rather just order take out then to fix himself an actual meal. It was way easier  or at least that’s what he told himself. The man found his way into the truck. Hues becoming watchful for the rabbit’s movements.  As he drew nearer it hopped across the truck into a new hiding spot. “Little shit is surprisingly fast.” The words were muttered. Rem shook his head to himself and quickly lunged at the animal before it could repeat the actions. Grabbing it by the tail and pulling. “Guess I have better luck at this then you.” The man grinned, before almost dropping it and then once outside he let go. “My bet’s on that’ll happen again.”

=

“No. I didn’t even think of it.” Gaby wanted to slap herself. She had a pack of baby carrots that could have been used to lure the animal. Maybe she could leave a trail of them towards the door. Then by the time she returned in a few hours, the rabbit would have left the small food truck. Watching him move into the food truck, she followed suit and stayed in the corner. “Almost!” The brunette squealed, pointing out where it had gone. When he finally caught it, she began to jump and clap happily. It seemed that her night had taken a better turn than anticipated. “You’re scarily good at that. You should put that to good use. Those reflexes might come in handy for baseball or something.” What other sport required reflexes? “Don’t jinx me like that. But now I’ll know who to call if it does.”

“I know that I do, I am a genius like that,” Georgie held the bottom of her shirt as if it was a dress, didn’t a little curtsy as a thank you. “I am sorry you are having a bad day already, Luna was just looking for a present perhaps?” She continued, trying to cheer up her friend in any form and way. “Hmmm you do have a point.” She nodded, frowning a little as she considered their options. “I don’t think anything too drastic might go in, though. And if the rabbit is scared, it will be a pain for us to catch it. Would you rather call animal control to handle this?”

=

“A present.” Her eyes peered towards her dog who seemed to be happy as ever. She didn’t have an ounce of anger towards her dog but was more frustrated that she had let her in without looking down at her. “How long do you think it would take animal control to come?” She wasn’t sure if she wanted to pay for it either. Maybe she could make a makeshift trap for the animal or even purchase a cheap one and then release it. “What do rabbits eat? I mean, carrots seem like a typical thing but it lives in the wild so i’m not sure. Maybe I can lure it out?”

A catchy tune had been on his mind ever since he heard it a few days ago. He had no idea what the lyrics were or who sang it, but he had been humming it all day long. And so he was when he walked through familiar sites until someone announced that they were ‘ fine’ .  He was about to congratulate them with their fine mood, until he noticed the look of the woman and saw that she looked rather distressed than okay. “Uh… Rough.” He uttered, eyes lingering on the canine. He wondered if he had brought the rabbit for a snack or as a playmate.. Maybe he didn’t want to know. “ Okay well… Is the rabbit indoors or still out here somewhere? Because if he’s outside, might as well let him find his way back, right?” 

=

Gaby couldn’t believe her luck. The night had been rather busy but she’d somehow managed to finish early and was excited for the potential of going home and maybe having time for a bath rather than having to crash almost immediately. Now, she was doubting that she’d get any sleep at all. “The rabbit is definitely still indoors. I think he’s cornered under the stove the last time I checked. I’m hoping that he finds his way outdoors because I have to cook tomorrow and it’s not a safe place for him to be.”

[ramosgaby]

ezralesha​:

          “ah, shit, the last one? how could you?” she asks, jokingly, as if she’d desperately wanted it and was now devastated to find out it had already been claimed. “is it any good?” ezra herself is all too familiar with their tap beers, easily and irrationally annoyed when they make a change. “nah, i think you’re right, beer’s a good place to start. don’t want you to have to drag me home across town. don’t wanna get it in my head that i can swim it, either. you still good, or want something else?” she gestures towards gaby’s drink with a nod, then casts her gaze about hoping to make eye contact with a bartender. 

•

         “I know, I’m sorry. You can have a sip of mine if you’d like it, though.” She suggested, sliding the glass towards the other. Maybe it wasn’t the most hygienic thing to do but if the woman didn’t mind, then Gaby was fine with it. “Yeah. I think I could if it came down to it. You’re pretty small and I could carry you on my back. You’d have to hold on though, which would probably be where we found the problem.” Her shoulder shrugged, looking down at her drink and shaking her head. “No, I’m fine with this for right now. It’s not half bad.”

lucy always loved walking the streets on a beautiful day like today and the women always loved how there were plenty of food trucks parked on the side of the road close to the sidewalks, it reminded her of home which was chicago, the windy city. especially in downtown, and lucy had decided to grab some lunch for the day before heading back to work. stopping for a moment to take out her wallet, the blonde looked up at the other woman who had said something to her. The brunette seemed to be frazzled, and lucy took a deep breath and then smiled a bit when she saw the other woman pointing to the dog “It came back with a rabbit?” She questioned, raising an eyebrow and then lucy  couldn’t help but laugh a little “I mean I can try and help you catch it? I don’t know if I’d be much help though.” As the dog laid on the ground, lucy continued with “Was this rabbit a pet or was it just a free rabbit? I mean, are you planning on keeping it?” 

•

                Gaby didn’t know what type she had but it wasn’t good. After hours of trying to lure the animal out while trying to calm down her own dog, she was spent. However, she wasn’t prepared to give up because she refused to close down the truck for one day. She’d never done that and even worked through serious colds. “A live rabbit. I thought it was dead which was more horrific somehow but it was alive.” and it’s hiding now. “I’m pretty sure it was a wild rabbit that I have no intent on keeping and would rather let it go free.” A hand moved to her hips, hoping the woman would reconsider in helping her. “Maybe we can grab a basket or something and trap it?”

[ramosgaby]

valentinaxgrady​:

She turned to the girl and let out a rueful smile. “His looks aren’t the problem. My mother has excellent taste. I’m sure he’s very hot. It’s the invisible strings attached that I want nothing to do with.” Valentina explained, putting her phone away and giving the girl a once over. She had some ideas forming in her head. “Would you really? Cause I might be able to set something up. I wouldn’t mind sending you in my place.”

•

      “The string where she believes she can pick a boyfriend for you and have a say in your personal life?” Gaby hummed before nodding her head. That much she could understand. As her hands settled on her hips, her eyes widened when the woman seemed to be prepared to set her comment in motion. “I ... Well, I would do it if it helped you out, of course.”

Coming to Gaby food truck had become routine by now, some times for the food, but mostly so she could spend sometime with the girl who easily became a friend over the years. At first she didn’t spot Gaby like she usually would when first approaching the foodtruck, so that was the first alarming thing, the second was Gaby’s voice that made Georgie’s ears really perk up. “Okay..normally when someone say they are fine they really aren’t fine.” As Dany mentioned her dog, a part of her instantly panicked thinking something had happened to him, at least that part was fine. “Well, the good side of this all is that the rabbit is alive?” Georgie questioned, leaning on the food truck as she looked at her friend. “It is probably very scared, you could try and let it come out on its own?”

•

      gaby nodded her head in agreement. georgie was right, often times people said they were fine when they weren’t but this wasn’t that situation. her emotions were intact apart from the frustration and exhaustion from the nightly events. it was all about the situation. maybe she wanted some attention as to attract help. “you do have a point. both in terms of the fine comment and the fact that the rabbit is alive. I don’t think I could have handled the alternative tonight.” it would have been easier but she refused to believe Luna had it in her. “what do you suggest? leave the door open and hope it comes out? i’m more scared of what might come in.”

remingtonxdutton​:

“Look on the bright side - at least the poor rabbit’s alive. Though maybe that would have been less of a task.” He arched his brow at the familiar face. Dogs would be dogs though. Honestly, he had heard worst things. “I guess it’s a little too late for me to bail now. You owe me though.” Remington mustered up but offered her a friendly smile in return. Hues beginning to scan the surroundings for the noted animal. “Just be lucky it wasn’t a snake. Though that might have been a tad bit interesting.” A small, playful smirk began to appear. 

•

      “that is the bright side.” she said softly with a nod of her head. it had been a relief to see the thing bounce around until the chaos ensued. luna started to run after the rabbit and she was running after her dog. it had taken her hours to find the rabbit and now she couldn’t lure it out from where it was wedged under her stove. “you know you always have food with your name on it but you don’t have to worry to pay for a month if you help me get this rabbit out.” but only if they caught it. “never say never because i’m starting to think she’s just evolving. last time it was a branch and who knows what it’ll be next.”

When Haley approached the food truck, just like she had many times before, she didn’t really expect to find Gaby in the situation she was in. Usually, it was meant to be a trip of a few minutes which ended up in a chat and a stomach at its full capacity. Whoever said a way to the heart is through the stomach was definitely right because that’s how Gabriela snuck her way into Haley’s life and now they had a tendency to drink too much wine and call each other in time of crisis. Just like this one. Stopping next to her friend, she looked at the dog which was now tied to the door, and then back at the woman next to her. “A rabbit?” She asked, looking around as if anyone else could confirm the story. “Are you sure it’s a rabbit?” Looking at the truck, Haley blew out some air through tightly shut lips. “I’d probably be more helpful if it was a turtle.” She admitted jokingly but then put her game face back on. “I mean, it’s a rabbit. We could just go inside and try to tag-team it.”

•

      Gaby was instantly relieved to find Haley there. She wasn’t only a customer but a friend, and perhaps someone who was more emotional stable in this moment. An individual who could think clearly. “White and fluffy, I’m pretty sure. Well, I’m hoping it’s a rabbit.” She didn’t know what the alternative was but she wasn’t prepared to go to the hospital for a rabies shot. “Don’t say that, Hals. I’m already on the verge of tears because the thing is terrified, I’m half panicked and this one,” she pointed to Luna who was as happy as a pig in shit, “— is wanting to play or kill the thing. I do believe its play because I refuse to believe that my baby can do any wrong.” Plus, she was too cute. “I think we need a pillow case or some kind of net. Obviously not something that would hurt it but our hands probably won’t suffice. Oh! Maybe a carrot!”

     “i’m fine.” she started off when she heard footsteps approaching. despite not knowing if they were passing by or not, she couldn’t stop the words from coming out. if only because she hoped that they would help her as she was a few breaths away from a melt down. “my dog —” her finger pointed to the culprit who was now laid a few feet away, tied to the food truck’s door behind her. “was let out to go for a pee and came back with a rabbit. i didn’t see it until it began to bounce everywhere and i can’t catch it.” her head fell into her hands, knowing that she had a full night of cleaning after she caught the rabbit as to ensure the food truck would be good to cook in tomorrow. yet, she hadn’t even formed a functional plan to catch the wild animal. “at this point, i need all the advice i can get.”

What was supposed to be a quick stop at Harvey’s to buy something sweet took a turn for the annoying once Val received a call from her mother. She had a basket swinging from her arm as she walked down the aisle. “Yeah but…okay mom just…yes I’ll be there but I’m not interested in meeting anyone. If it’s another attempt at matchmaking, I will not hesitate to leave. Okay, love you too. Bye.” Valentina sighed, ending the call and hitting her phone lightly against her forehead. “Why the hell do parents get so much enjoy from interfering with their child’s love life?” She asked aloud, though the question was really rhetorical.

•

    gaby couldn’t help the small laugh when she heard the one-sided conversation. it sounded like something she had with her mother on a daily basis. the only difference was that gaby would have found it nice to be matched up. it would have made things easier, probably. “your mother sounds lovely. did she send you a picture of the person because you might be surprised in her taste?” it was worth a try. “if you’re not interested, i’d go out on a date. i love them.” well, loving them might be a bit of an exaggeration but she missed the company of someone more than the idea of love at this point.

@fordbaycontent

Everything seemed almost exactly the same as when he’d left, almost as if the town was always alive, but never-changing. With a huff, a cigarette hung from his lips as he took a deep draf and felt in the smoke take over his body. It was his way of calming his erratic mind, words, beats and thoughts seemed to whirl around at a thousand miles per hour, taunting him with his past.

It was this town that had that effect on him.

The coffee shop before him was calling out, caffine would be his morning fix before he took himself off to write more songs; anything that he could churn out that the label would like and hopefully get off his back. Looking to his side he spotted someone as he gave that famous half-lop sided smile that was often photographed in the magazines.

‘‘If you haven’t been there before, I’d reccomend it.’‘ He nodded in the direction of the coffee shop as Richie’s shoulders raised into a shrug. ‘‘I personally think it’s the best coffee in Canada, but I’m from here, so I might be somewhat biased.’‘ 

•

richard burderman. a pride and joy to this town, at least for the woman who was stuck with an old radio as her only company in her food truck. alongside her dog now, of course. much like her philosophy on local businesses, she liked to support local artists as well. even if they decided to move away from town. 

her feet came to stop when she set her sights on him, raised brow. while not entirely fan-girling, her heart did speed up a little bit. it took her a few seconds to understand what he was saying or pointing out. “oh. that’s my favorite coffee shop too. I’m from here as well.” she clarified with a shake of her head. it was where she got her coffee before she went to the food truck, conveniently parked across the street, to start it up for the day. 

“Well, you should come back around for lunch because I believe that food truck serves the best food. It’s mine so I might be a little biased.” she said with a shrug, moving to the door and opening it for him. “after you, richa—— sorry, i listen to your music.”

          “man, you would not believe the day i’m having!” ezra groans, an exaggerated weariness in all her movements as she drops into the empty seat. slumped, she lets out a deep sigh before straightening again, trying to look attentive. “what’re you drinking?” there’s still a plaintive note in her voice, even as she contemplates what to order.

•

  “there’s really only one way to get over those type of days.” gaby shrugged as she tapped her glass with a smile. “it worked for her, as well as a late night piece of cake.” turning the label of her beer bottle so ezra could read it, she peered down. “it’s a new beer. i wasn’t sure what they had on tap so i took the last bottle of beer they had. i’m not opposed to having something a little stronger if that’ll help.”

          “Hey, you seen an angry twenty-four year old storm this way?” Jeremy’s voice was gruff, showing signs of both his exhaustion and worn patience. In some ways he could accept that he was a bit in the wrong. It was hard to step out of that role of being something more than an older brother, something closer to fatherly, when it came to Derek. When their mother passed, Jeremy had to take over caring for his younger siblings and at the time he hadn’t been equipped for that. Either way, their conversation at least a half an hour prior had turned from easy going to a near row when Derek’s twenty-something angst at the world showed itself. “He’s about yay high,” a hand flattened just slightly above his shoulder, “ and was likely cursing under his breath about what a fucking asshole I am.”

•

  “I saw your brother.” Gaby scrunched her nose as she leaned out of her food truck and peered around. she knew he wouldn’t be anywhere in sight, if only because he was sat behind her truck. however, she made a show of being surprised that she couldn’t see him. then again, they were both tall with longer strides than her short stature could understand with all of her 5 feet 2 inches. “ i don’t kno.... okay, fine.” her voice lowered and she tilted her head towards the back of her truck. “I managed to stop him and offered him a beer and some food. As well as a quiet place to calm down.” There was a picnic table set up in the back, which was where she often went to take a few seconds for herself, out of view. “Do you want me to ask him if he’s feeling calm enough to talk to you?”
