Sage Demetriou. 22. Picture taker.

[sagedemetriou]

Would you ever want to swim with sharks?

“Oh, gosh. I think that would be a little scary...but I guess if I had a trained professional with me or something like that...?”

[sagedemetriou]

captainxflint:

“I find I get a better response if I ask with cookies in hand.” He replied, stepping into the residence. “ Oh I’ve already eaten like seven. It was my dinner. I need them out of my sight.”

Sage grinned as Flint stepped through the door and she closed it behind him, then immediately whirled around to point a finger at him. “That’s a smart move, Flint.” She chuckled lightly at the male’s words, planting her hands on her hips. “And now you want me to help you make more?!”

addiestxrling:

“It wasn’t what I was initially going for, but I don’t think I’m cut out for much else.” Addie smirked at the blonde. “It’s fine, I can take a compliment, I’m not going to freak out.”

Sage’s eyes widened just slightly and she shook her head quickly, holding out a hand. “No, no, I didn’t mean to imply--” She paused for a moment, then swallowed hard, trying to maintain some sense of composure. After a moment, a slight smile touched her lips and she tilted her head, “I’m sure you’re...cut out for more than you think?”

[sagedemetriou]

nate-conners:

Nate laughed, watching the blonde’s cheeks completely flare up. “It’s alright, you didn’t disturb me. If anything it was entertaining.”

Sage nodded slowly, her teeth worrying into her bottom lip briefly. “Well, I’m-- glad I could entertain you?” She cleared her throat and glanced away, now feeling the need to make the conversation more interesting. “So...what food are you shopping for?”

[sagedemetriou]

addiestxrling:

“I’ve been trying so hard to learn and I have some of it down, but I can’t get my hands and brain to work at the same speed. Maybe I’ll just sit and look cute with a guitar and just use it as an accessory.”

“If you’re going for cute, it’s working.” Sage replied before really letting her brain process what she was saying. Once she realized though, she swallowed hard, shaking her blonde head quickly. “I mean! It uh-- it looks good-- I mean, it’s...it suits you?”

[sagedemetriou]

alexandriaxblackwood:

“I say go for all of the above, because why not?” she said, shrugging. “It can’t hurt to have both, and it’s not like they’re super pricey or anything.” She smiled, tucking some of her hair back. “That’s just me, though”

“I mean, you do...make some good points.” Sage giggled lightly, her eyes darting away from the woman’s briefly. She placed both cartons in her basket. “I just hope that it’s not possible to eat too much fruit!”

[sagedemetriou]

yoosungryu:

Yoosung tried to ignore the (what felt like) hundredth wave of sadness that threatened to take over. Could it be because this stranger sounded like Skylar with how insecure and apologetic they were being? “Don’t apologize.” He managed, swallowing thickly and averting his eyes. “I don’t think it’s a lot to eat. Fruit is healthy, so you don’t have to feel bad about eating a little more than planned. It’s nice as a snack, you can add them to your breakfast…” He trailed off, pushing his hands deeper into the pockets of his hoodie and letting out a soft chuckle. “Try to make the most out of life while you can, right?”

“You’re right, I’m--” Sage stopped herself before she could apologize again, a weak chuckle falling off her lips as she shook her head. She nodded along with his wise words, a small smile forming on her lips. “Okay, you’ve convinced me.” She placed both cartons into her basket, then turned her attention to the male again. “You should be a public speaker or something. You’re a great motivator.”

[sagedemetriou]

roxanne-dubois:

Roxanne was doing her own shopping, when she heard the other woman. She looked over at her and smiled softly. “I say go with both,” she said with a shrug of her shoulders. “Why not indulge?” 

‘Indulge’ wasn’t really a word that was in Sage’s vocabulary very often, but the older woman was so pretty and surely, Sage told herself, she must know what she was talking about. The blonde nodded cautiously, a small smile touching her lips. “Yeah...yeah, maybe I should.” She glanced at the two cartons in her hand again, then finally placed them in the basket resting in the crook of her arm.

[sagedemetriou]

nate-conners:

Nate had no idea what he was doing at the grocery store when it was practically dawn outside. He couldn’t sleep, he had hit a block with his work so naturally it meant groceries apparently. He didn’t expect anyone else to be here, but of course the person that was going to be there was going to be the one that was talking to herself. “ People are going to think you’re losing it if you keep that up.”

“Wha--” Sage turned quickly at the sound of a male voice, her cheeks instantly growing red. “I-- I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to...disturb you.”

[sagedemetriou]

maikovich:

Maiah lifted her hands away from her face and looked over at Sage with widened eyes as well. That wasn’t exactly the reaction she expected to hear, but it made her feel, in a way, satisfied. “Yeah, I know it was for the better. I just wish I wouldn’t have been so reckless or irresponsible. Maybe I should have had another job lined up before I said anything…But she was being really rude. Everything I did was met with opposition or a complaint.” Maiah explained as a small smile grew on her lips. “Thank you. Although, I guess I could always find another nanny job.”

Sage shrugged her shoulders lightly, a small smile still on her lips. She couldn’t relate to the girl’s idea of being too reckless; Sage had never been reckless a day in her life. But she didn’t want the girl to feel bad about making the decision she did, either. “Yeah, that’s umh-- that’s not a good environment to work in.” Her eyes lit up at the girl’s next statement and she nodded her head quickly. “Yes! I’m sure you can. Is that what you like doing?”

[sagedemetriou]

liam-scogin:

“Strawberries,” Liam mumbled tiredly to the stranger, seemingly the only other person in the grocery store. His crazy work and school schedule got him grocery shopping at the strangest times of the night. “They last longer than raspberries, so I usually go for strawberries.”

“Oh, sorry, I--” The blonde immediately began to apologize for talking out loud, then stopped herself, pressing her lips together tightly. “Thank you,” She replied, nodding her head a bit as she gently placed the carton of raspberries back down. “I think you’re right.”

[sagedemetriou]

The last time you felt broken?

“Oh...wow-- that’s umh, that’s pretty deep? Maybe we could go for a lighter question?”

[sagedemetriou]

wllowharpr:

Willow walked through the produce section, basket tucked onto her arm when she heard a voice. “Ooh, strawberries. Raspberries are too sour, and they have those little seeds.” She stuck her tongue out, then reached for her own container of the juicy looking red berries.

Sage let out a surprised chuckle, partly from the fact that someone was actually listening to her talk to herself and partly from the response she got from the other female. She took a moment to examine the small carton of raspberries, turning it over in her hand. “I guess they do look kind of...odd, don’t they?” She replied. “But I mean...there’s something beautiful about them at the same time?” She glanced up quickly, her cheeks reddening slightly. “Or maybe that’s just me.”

[sagedemetriou]

kavyadavies:

“Just life getting to me I guess” She chuckled lightly before sighing. “But whatever, c’est la vie” 

The blonde’s smile faltered just slightly and she glanced down at her hands, folded and placed neatly on top of her lap. “I’ve always liked that phrase.” She glanced back up at the female. “I guess I’ve never really...put it into practice much, though.”

[sagedemetriou]

yoosungryu:

Yoosung had blankly been staring at the alcohol section for what felt like an eternity. The blond didn’t want to resort to such a cliche way to deal with his stress, which was the only reason he was taking so long. He wasn’t usually indecisive, but this was a battle between his body craving a distraction and his mind knowing better than to get himself wasted by himself. He was startled by the sound of someone’s voice – it was too loud in the silence – making him turn his head in the direction the noise had come from. “If you can get both, why not get both?” He muttered, too tired to even sound annoyed anymore.

Sage turned quickly to the source of the voice, surprised that someone had even heard her and had been willing to answer her. “Oh...” She paused, considering the male’s question. She glanced down at the selections in her hands. “I guess I...could? But would it be a waste? I mean, would I really eat that much before they went bad?” She pursed her lips in thought, then shook her head a bit. “I’m sorry. I don’t mean to...bore you. These are just...the things I think about, I guess.” She managed a weak laugh, shrugging her shoulders lightly.

[sagedemetriou]

maikovich:

“I just told my boss to suck a lemon and that I quit…Oh my god, I just told my boss to suck a lemon and quit my job.–I’m screwed. I’m absolutely screwed.” Maiah hid her face in one of her hands as she let out a groan. “Do you know anyone who would hire someone to play video games for them all day. I have a particular expertise with PC games.”

“Wow, that’s...that’s awesome!” Sage exclaimed, her eyes widening as she girl spoke. Of course, it was something the blonde would never be able to do herself, but she could cheer on the people who had that kind of bravery. “If you were that passionate about it, though...then it was probably a good idea to leave that job anyway?” She pursed her lips, then finally shook her head slightly. “No...I’m sorry. But I’ll keep my ears open?”

[sagedemetriou]

“Hmm...strawberries...? Or raspberries?” Sage mused aloud to herself, holding a small container of each in her hands. It was late, late into the night and Sage was virtually alone in the grocery store at this time of night, so she felt more comfortable talking to herself as she deliberated, her brow furrowing in concentration. “I suppose I could get both...?”
