“I’m starting to think that most people would, I mean who doesn’t love burgers, no matter how you have them, or what you want to put on them, everyone loves a burger right?” Adeline laughed, clapping her hands together with glee. “Oh maybe we could just make a food album, like ice cream, pizza, cereal…I could do a whole set list.” 

Evie agreed wholeheartedly. “Yes, definitely – everybody loves a burger. And there’s so much variety nowadays, like you pretty much said,” she hummed. “Okay, but if you did do a whole album based on food, you’d end up getting so much free food because brands would want to use the song to promote their products. It’d be so good.”

“You keep going with these impressions and you’re well on your way to finding out don’t you worry.” Rebecca hummed as she looked up at him, the truth was she knew nothing about this stranger, she knew his name, and she knew his was kind and at the moment she was enjoying just that. “Well good, that makes me feel slightly more special, and girls are lying when we say feeling special isn’t important to us.” She wouldn’t exactly call herself a diva, but she wasn’t free of faults and even she liked attention. “I was going to get a burger and fries, but I can eat just about anything if there was something you fancied from any of the stalls.” 

“I’ll try my best, just for the sake of that,” he admitted rather truthfully. He was a truthful guy anyway, but he figured there was no harm in being totally honest about it to her. “I’d like to think, at my age, I’d have figured out that girls are lying when they say feeling special doesn’t matter to them, but thank you for the reminder. I’m glad to have been the one to make you feel special, even for a little while.” He glanced around at the various options of food around them and eventually just shrugged. “A burger and fries sounds good to me. I’ll eat just about anything these days.”

“How is anyone supposed to keep their cool with you around?” Finley grumbled as he looked down at his girlfriend, he wasn’t even sure she knew how hot she really was, or what she did to him without actually meaning too at times. “It does both ways, so you can’t have anything bad to say about it, but when I come back from college, you’re not gunna recognize me for a second.” He gave a small chuckle and shook his head. “You’re the cutest girl I ever met you know that right?” 

Addy jokingly rolled her eyes and shook her head. “Yeah, I think that’s just you that thinks that, but I appreciate the flattery,” she smiled. Plus, she rather enjoyed the fact that Finley couldn’t keep his cool with her around. She was head over heels, and so was he – rather reassuringly. “Me, not recognize you? Never. I’d pick you out of a crowd of thousands, beard or no beard. What sort of girlfriend would I be if I couldn’t?” She grinned. “Oh, I totally know that.”

“Man, I really need to get a second job if I wanna go on that trip before I’m sixty.” Her laugh was soft as she ran her hands through her hair. This dream seemed more and more impossible as time went on. Maybe she’ll catch a break someday. “Being a librarian doesn’t pay that well. Maybe there’ll be an opening at a high school nearby. Not that I’d make much money but it would be more than I get now.”

“If you’re the bartending type, I can definitely ask around and see if anywhere is looking for another bartender– as long as you don’t start stealing my shifts at work, because that wouldn’t end well,” she suggested with a smile. Her job paid well enough, but she could imagine that working in a library probably wouldn’t pay as well – even though she reckoned it should. “That’s rubbish about the library pay, but like I said, if there aren’t any high school openings, I’ve got you covered.”

“They’re really making fans out of this whole crowd, I’d say. There’s a lot of concerts and shows around here right through the whole year but this festival is a pretty big deal.” Brady listened to the woman next to him, nodding. “Oh wow, Chicago must have had some pretty spectacular concerts too then.

“It’s definitely much more of a bustling space than I expected it would be when I moved into town,” she admitted. She’d expected quiet, even quaint. But that had not been what she’d found. She wasn’t mad, though. “I can see why there’d be so many concerts and shows, and why the festival does so well.” She’d barely even attended last year since she’d only just gotten into town. “It was certainly a lot bigger. Many more people, but Holiday can hold its own.”

rebeccxsilva‌:

“I’m not going to lie, there are many words I could use to describe you, and cute is just one of them but we’re still new on those impressions, so I’ll keep the others two myself for now.” He was gorgeous and there was no denying it, she was pretty sure he’d broken more hearts with that smile than she had eaten warm meals. “And how many damsels have you rescued from the crowd today?” Rebecca asked, a brow raised in his direction. “Or an I the first?” Looking down at their hands that were still joint Rebecca paused for a moment. “Have you eaten yet? You’ve been so good at helping me get to the food, the least I can do is share it with you.” 

“Well, I look forward to hearing the others whenever we get to know each other better. You’ve got me more than intrigued now,” he admitted. Truly, he did hope to get to know her better, at least eventually. She was an interesting woman, and he’d even describe her as cute, too. “No, you’d be the only one, actually. And you might be the only one,” he hummed and nodded to the crowd. “I’m not sure if I fancy venturing back in quite yet.” That didn’t sound like much fun, at least for the moment anyway. “I haven’t eaten, actually. And I’m never one to turn down the offer of food so... what were you thinking of going for? There’s a lot of choice.”

[rhapsodics]

rebeccxsilva‌:

“Well as cute as you not wanting to upset your Auntie was, I think the second time is winning…since you’re taking me to food and all.” If there was one thing that motivated Rebecca more than her dancing, it was what was going into her stomach and she wasn’t afraid to admit it. “Besides, it’s not like I let just anyone hold my hand, so you should be honored.” She laughed with him softly as she was maneuvered with ease through the crowds. “How do you do that?” She was genuinely envious that he was able to just, move people without even having to be rude in such a big crowd. “No one normally moves for me. Honestly I wish I was as tall as you my brave hero. How will I ever repay you?” 

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “Cute? Is that what I am?” He’d heard people call him cute before, but he never quite believed them when they said it. He’d never personally think he was cute, anyway. “Well, consider me honored then. And you should be honored, too, because I don’t just hold anyones hand. Only people I’m helping manoeuvre crowds with,” he grinned jokingly. “I wish there was some secret I could tell you about, but I’m afraid I have no idea. I just... push, and they move.” He shrugged at her and glanced back at the crowd. “No need to repay me at all– I’m offering that service for free, tonight only.”

“So what do you think?” Becca asked as she flicked the blonde wig over her shoulder. “I have to wear it for a performance next month, and honestly it was so fun I decided to test it for the day.”  She was sure she wasn’t the only person that got the urge to dye her hair randomly. “You think I could get away with it permanently?” 

“That looks surprisingly good,” she admitted. “I didn’t think you’d be able to rock the blonde because the dark suits you so much, but you really do rock it!” She’d had dark hair before, back in her early twenties and a little while when she was a kid, but she was rather attached to her blonde now. “You’d certainly raise a few eyebrows if you kept it for good.”

harryshxphard‌:

“Very funny, you know full well who I am, I’m not thirty yet.” He scoffed at his sister, he didn’t mention that he was pretty damn close to that age, he just refused to accept that yet. “What do you mean? I made it look better. You really let your style slip whilst I’ve been gone.” Harry missed her the most when he was away, he thought that he would have been used to it by now with how often they were apart, but it still hurt. “Oh no, I’ll find him, I have people that will be able to find him.”  

Evie grinned. “But you’re closer to thirty than I am, so...” She was glad she still had the advantage of being in her twenties for a good few more years yet. “I hate you so much, you know that? You made it look so much worse. You definitely didn’t go to hair styling classes while you were gone,” she frowned at him. She’d missed him when he was gone, but she knew he was doing something important, and something he loved, so she could never be mad. “You will not find him! You’ll leave him alone or I’ll dig into your love life, or lack of.”

zoe-levyrp‌:

Zoe noticed her trying not to laugh, a scowl coming over her face a bit like the kind a small child would have when they thought a parent was stopping them from doing something they wanted. She didn’t take kindly to being laughed at but she also wasn’t about to be confrontational because that wasn’t really her style unless she was in one of her rages. Instead she just put her hand up to her face again, smearing more charcoal across it but this time deliberately. “It’s not just black shit, it’s charcoal I’ve been used to draw, but I decided I would get more artistic joy out of using myself as a human canvas. Cheaper too. Do you want to be a test subject?” She asked with a dead look at the woman.

“Yeah, but to anyone who doesn’t draw, it just looks like black shit all over your face,” she shrugged a shoulder. She’d taken art classes when she was in high school, but only because her mother had insisted upon it, so she knew it was charcoal, but to anyone else it probably looked a little strange. “I’d literally rather buy you paper or a canvas rather than being a test subject.”

adelinelewis‌:

“Okay but here is the thing, I’m working on new music right? And I was having a moment of inspiration the other night but I needed fuel…and for that I needed burgers.” She knew that she was rambling at this point, but she needed context. “Needless to say, I’m half way through a song about cheese burgers, that will totally sell right?” 

Evie nodded excitedly. “I’d buy the hell out of a song about cheese burgers, you know that,” she laughed. “You could write a whole album about cheeseburgers and I’d be your biggest fan even more than I am already. And imagine all the stuff you could do for a press tour!”

bennetthadland‌:

“I can’t see that happening, you could eat my last twinkie and I’d still love you this much.” He was pretty sure that he’d happily share his fries with her for the rest of his life, even if she insisted every time that she really wasn’t hungry this time. “Well maybe we can just figure it out together, one day at a time, one fight at a time, one house move, one …well I imagine we have a whole lot of things to get through to us. We can just learn together.” He wasn’t so sure that he was going to be a perfect husband, but he would work on it, for her he would do anything. “You did? Babe that’s embarrassing.” 

“Nah, you’d still love me because I’d eat your last twinkie and then I’d go out and buy you a whole new box of them,” she grinned – and she totally would be that kind of wife. “I think figuring it out together sounds more than good. There was never a lot of that, doing stuff together, when I was with Eddie. I’m looking forward to doing it all together with you. Speaking of that, I’ll get my brother to go around and get some of the stuff I never got around to picking up,” she suggested. He was closer, after all. “That’s not embarrassing, that’s cute! I was in love. You clearly know the feeling.”

“ Okay, how handsome is he?  He makes all the rude customers I had to deal with today all worth it, just knowing I can go see him later gives me the strength I need to push through it! Anyway, I am done for the day, you do you feel like a coffee?”

Evie squinted a little as she looked at the photo on the phone. “Oh, he’s cute! Boys always make dealing with rude customers so much more worth it in the end,” she admitted happily. “I’m definitely up for a coffee, but only if you agree to give me all the details on the handsome man on your phone.”

[rhapsodics]

finlxywestbrook‌:

“I know we do, I only wanted a beer for the heat really but fine, I guess a cold soda will do just as well.” He’d been in a bad mood the past few days because he knew that sooner rather than later they were going to have to face the fact he would be heading to college whilst meant the months they had spent together were coming to a close and things would be different. “I’ll grow you the best damn beard and then we will see how much you can resist me.” Nudging his nose on hers the male sighed softly. “He’s not even going to believe you’re mine.” 

“I’m sure a soda will cool you down just fine, babe,” she shook her head and laughed a little – he really was ready to play all the angles in an attempt for the beer. “Yeah, you will. I mean, I already struggle to resist you on a daily basis anyway, so I’m sure the beard will just amplify that struggle. But, it will be worth it for how good you’ll look,” she hummed. “I don’t even believe that myself most days. I’m glad it’s true, though. I’d rather be yours than anyone else's.”

[rhapsodics]

rebeccxsilva‌:

“You know, this now takes us onto second impressions, and I must say you’re not doing too bad.” Rebecca chuckled, her attention caught by the sudden appearance of his fingers on her own, she was weird with intimate gestures and she would be the first to admit that, but it wasn’t like he was being romantic here so she shrugged it off. “Of course, I could be swallowed whole without any assistance. Lead the way good sir.” She smiled softly. 

Sebastian smirked. “Yeah? So, which impression was better – the first or the second?” He had a feeling that the second was probably the winner. Or, at least, he hoped it was the winner considering how chivalrous he was being. “And we couldn’t have that at all, of course,” he flashed her a grin before giving her hand a squeeze and then moving to make his way through the crowd. It took a few minutes to get through it, but eventually, they made it to the other side, and luckily, he hadn’t lost her somewhere in the middle of it. “Ta-da,” he laughed. “Got you out safe and sound.”

“i’m sure this has been said before,” started the man, “but the candy at isaac’s is the best i’ve ever had in my life, no where else could compare.” that he was certain of, as he chewed a bit of caramel he’d bought earlier in the day. “want one? it’s caramel.”

Evie scrunched up her nose and shook her head. “Yeah, definitely not. You haven’t been to Turron Vicens in Paris. That is the best candy you’ll ever have in your entire life,” she hummed. “I’m not a fan of caramel, but I’ll get my mother to send some of the good stuff over here from Paris for you.”
