                this never happened to her before, but it seemed like there was a first time for everything. she couldn’t even remember the last time she did something so embarrassing, she really needed some sleep.    ❛    long week, that’s it. i intended to go home and sleep like a baby, but since i am already here, can i come in for a few minutes ?    ❜

“Of course you can! I was actually just about to order some pizza. “It’s been a long week for me as well.” she opened the door wider so that her neighbor could come in. “I can’t eat a whole one by myself so I’m happy to share if you want some.”

        JULIA waved a hand as the other called themselves dramatic. “ it’s fine , ” she assured with a smile “ i can’t blame you. i have so many old , worn out items that i should have abandoned long ago ; so i know the sentiment. plus , i like the sound of ‘ birthday shoes. ’ they sound like they would go perfectly with your birthday suit. ” she couldn’t help but chuckle at her own words. “ oh , petersburg has it own sort of charm , from what i remember from the few times i’ve stepped foot inside … as for me , i live in sante fe. a bit spacious for my needs but … ” but her future looked far different when she first moved to london than what it looks like now. “ perhaps it helps fuel some of my almost - hoarding habits. ”

“Birthday shoes with my birthday suit. Hmm...how is that not already a song? It has such a good ring to it.” she laughed. Audrey was happy to have the thought of her broken shoes now gone. It wouldn't have done her any good if she kept being sad over something she could easily fixed. “Oh Santa Fe sounds so lovely! I wanted to move there but I didn’t have enough money.Maybe someday I’ll save enough to move into a bigger space. I have way too many clothes for my little place.” she admitted with a shrug. “Hopefully you are hoarding something like clothes or shoes or even books. What are you keeping in that apartment of yours?”

A laugh escaped Eliza’s lips when he said that her life must suck, shaking her head. “I can take lactate pills for things like cheese and ice cream, but I lean towards lactose free stuff. Milk is my enemy, though,” she shrugged. Shaking her head, Eliza took another sip of her drink. “Coconut milk is watery. I hate everything coconut–coconut water? Disgusting.”

“Wait...wait a minute. That’s a thing? You can take pills if you are allergic to dairy?” He truly didn’t know this was a thing. He just thought those people were missing out. “Well then, I have to properly thank you for teaching me something new.” He audibly tsk’ed when she stated her stance on coconut milk. “Coconut milk is creamy, flavorable, and can be used more than oat milk. And coconut water is very good for your pores. I wouldn't’ just count it out.”

。·:✧:· MIMI SHIVERED, COMPLETELY shocked by what just happened. Had the person who’d so rudely dumped water out their window not checked to see if someone was underneath? As she tried to squeeze out her hair, she heard someone’s voice and looked up to see a man taking his jacket off, placing it over her shoulders. He was so incredibly smooth about it that it was impressive. “Right? They should’ve looked first!” Looking down at the jacket, she blushed, and allowed a small smile to grow across her face. “Oh! Thank you.” Pulling the jacket closed a little more, to keep the warm air in, she wondered how in the world she could thank him. “This is really nice of you. Are you always this nice?” 

Adam felt bad for the woman. He normally wouldn’t give a random stranger his designer jacket but his was brought up to be a gentleman. His upbringing wouldn’t allow him to just walk away and leave her freezing in this weather thanks to some random jerk. “You’re welcome.” He wanted to laugh at her question, asking if he was nice. No one has ever called him that. “I would say, it’s how a gentleman is suppose to act. However, it is the first time someone has called me nice so I’m really not sure. I should tape you saying that for my father.” he joked.

           WENDY WAS EXTREMELY happy that a new subject ( any subject ) was brought up. it meant there was an opportunity to avoid going home by herself to a probably empty and dark apartment. “ horrible date ? “, she asked, offering the girl a smile as she sat up a bit straighter in the seat. “ i’m sorry to hear about that – i know you probably don’t want to think about it but… if you need to vent, i’m all ears. “, the eldest darling offered. “ me ? oh yes, i’m perfect. “, which was a bit of a lie. but she much rather not think about the horror movie any more. 

“Oh you know how Tinder can be. The guy expects to get in your knickers the moment they see you instead of actually talking to you. I like to be wined and dined before I move to the next step you know?” she sighed, placing one arm on the bar and letting her chin rest in her hand. “It looks like I will never find find my prince charming if I keep using Tinder.” she chuckled. Well she did have a prince charming but she didn’t want to go down that road. “Yes, you. I don’t know. No human being is actually perfect....except maybe Julie Andrews.” she joked. “But if you say so, I won’t pry. Besides, I’m in need of a nice shot. What do you say? Take one with me?”

       “ true, but who can blame them ? if i was loaded, i would get a car each week. ” his voice was so certain and sure as he sat inside the car he was supposed to be fixing. obviously he was going to fix it and get it back to a good condition and a new tire on, but for now he just wanted to feel what it would be like to drive this baby. he couldn’t quite believe it’d been dropped off, danny and jd wouldn’t believe it if they saw it. “ nah, i could only dream of driving cars like this, are you kidding ? i would do one of those days where you pay to spend a few hours in a car like this, i’m not even shitting you. ”

“A car each week? Now that’s a bit much.” he chuckled. “But I get it. And I don’t blame you. When you can afford it, might as well go all out.” Adam wished he still had the money he use to. He would have loved to buy more of his favorite things instead of saving money and hoping her broke this punishment he was under. And after hearing the guy’s dream, he felt a little bad for playing around with him. With a sigh, he dug into his pocket for the extra set of keys and handed it to him. “I know you have the other set but come on. Let’s take it for a quick spin. You seem like you would take good care of my girl on the road.”

             WHEN HE RECOGNISED the person next to him to be his neighbor, a small smile appeared on his features. he brought his middle and index finger to his head before giving her a silent salute as a way of greeting her. “ gin tonic – you got it. “, he replied, turning back to the bartender to share her order. her question made him lift his shoulders. “ you could say that. “, the man sighed, shaking his head gently.  

It was one of those types of nights she could see. Audrey wasn’t one to leave people to drown their sorrows by themselves. Being lonely in this world wasn’t the best of things. So until he shooed her away, she would stay and sip on her gin and tonic. “Well then let’s make a toast,” the bartender brought over her drink in record time and she held it up. “I’m horrible at toasts so forgive me.” she cleared her throat and smiled. “To life. It drives us all crazy but here we are. Okay now you have to do one. Trust me, it can’t be as worst as mine.”

           “ PLEASE – DON’T GO. “, the plea fell from her lips so fast – it basically was a call made purely on instinct rather than reason. but she couldn’t help it. as soon as the person turned their back towards her, the image of the horrible horror movie scene reappeared on her retina and it caused a shiver to run down her spine. this is why she did not watch horror movies – they were just too scary for her ! why did she even agree to see it ? “ i, erm… we can have another drink ? or watch a movie ? or something ? “, the girl offered, eyebrows raising in a hopeful manner. { @musicalstarters​ }

The guy she was having drinks with had finally left after getting too drunk to actually want to get to know the real Audrey and not stare at her boobs. Men. Audrey was about to head out when she spotted someone familiar sitting next to her. “I wouldn’t mind another drink. Anything to take my mind off of that horrible date.” she chuckled. “You okay though?”

with school starting back up again, nina wanted to make sure that she was feeling as secure as possible.  this wasn’t like she went to the other side of the country again.  no, this time, she chose a whole new country to try and find herself in and this time, she was going to do things right.  “excuse me!,” she called out with a small wave, walking over to the person that passed her, looking up at them from her phone.  “my trusty technology is failing me.  do you happen to know where the library is?  i’m supposed to be close but…,” her arms lifted in shrug, letting out a soft sigh when they fell to her sides.  ( @musicalstarters​ )

Audrey turned around at the sound of a voice calling her. She had just gotten off of work and was heading home until she decided to take a small detour. With a smile, she nodded her head at the question. “I do actually! You aren’t too far from it. I’m headed that direction so I can show you where it is if you want?”

。·:✧:· SHE’D BEEN MINDING her own business, walking down the street, trying to enjoy her day. The sun was shining and Mimi was in an excellent mood, but naturally, things couldn’t always go according to plan, right? As she walked past one of the buildings, water splashed down on top of her. Mimi had no idea what just happened, but now, she was completely soaked. “What the hell?! Who dumps water out the window? What am I supposed to do now?” Looking down at her clothes, and her hair, she groaned, loudly. 

It all happened so fast. One minute he was minding his own business, just enjoying the nice weather they were having. The next minute, he saw a scene that looked like it came straight out of a movie. Quickly, he got up and walked over the the woman. Taking his jacket off in one swift movement, he placed his dry jacket on her shoulders. “That was such a shitty thing to do.” he sighed, looking up. He was trying this best to see if he could spot the bastard. “In the meantime, just borrow this. You need it more than I do.”

      “IF I HAD an assistant then it’d know what that would feel like, unfortunately I do not have such luxuries.” Did she have the money to afford an assistant? Of course she did, she was a queen and a surgeon, she had money, she just didn’t need an assistant. “ I honestly can’t remember the last time I had an uninterrupted sleep. Like, what is that?”. the blonde had no idea what that was. She would sometimes sleep for four hours, get woken up and go to work, then that would be it.

“Well it’s surprisingly enough a luxury I didn’t know I needed.” he leaned back into his chair, getting comfortable. He missed having his assistants around all hours of the day. It was a shame he couldn’t bring them with him but he had to keep reminding himself that this was truly not something every day people worried about. “That’s what being an adult is all about. Our parents never really warned us about how life would turn out this way, huh?” he sighed.

           JULIA frowned. what a shame for one to lose their favorite heels. “ surely, they can be salvaged, don’t you think? ” she offered. “ maybe not for everyday use, but for special occasions? or just so you don’t have to get rid of them … ” julia had her own issues with letting items go, notably those of great sentimental value to her. “ oh yay ! i’m glad they will work, if only for the short walk. plus, i’m heading that way anyways !! ” a smile grew on the poet’s lips. at least fortune was moderately on their side together. “ there’s no need to repay me ! i’m just happy i can help. call it my random act of kindness for the day. ” her smile bright. “ just … remember to pay it forward ! ”

“They can. I guess I’m being just a tad bit overly dramatic.” She took one last look at them and gave them a smile. “I guess I just got too attached to them. If I take your suggestion, maybe these shoes could be my birthday shoes or something like this.” Audrey was so happy to met someone so nice and caring. In such a big city like London, it was rare to find people like that. “Do you happen to live in one of the apartments? My apartment is in Petersburg. Not the fanciest of places but I’ve called it home for a while now.” It was always nice to meet a fellow neighbor. “I will definitely pay it forward. You can count on me.”

Eliza ignored the comment about oat milk being weak and took the coffee; she could tell that the man in front of her needed it just as much as she did, but this was hers. And with work again in less than 30 minutes, she needed it more than he did. At least, that’s what she told herself. “I’m lactose intolerant,” Eliza explained, taking a sip of her coffee. “And oat milk is more ethically sourced than almond milk, and better for the environment. Plus, it’s just better.” Eliza was a big advocate for oat milk. 

Being lactose intolerant must suck, he thought. No real cream in coffee? No ice cream? No cheese? What about charcuterie boards? Another yawn escaped him, pulling him away from his thoughts. “Your life must suck. No ice cream?” he shook his head as he took a sip of the right cup of coffee. “See? That is where you are wrong. Oat Milk is not only flavorless but a poor substitute to milk. Almond milk has a weird chalky taste to it so I never really bothered. Coconut milk? Perfection. Far superior than plain oat milk.”

tink… wasn’t so used to girls being nice to her. honestly, most of the time, she was a little bit standoffish when she felt threatened, and vice versa. when it came to the lost boys, she was so used to being the only girl. that was until wendy appeared, of course. tink stood for a long moment in a sort of shocked stillness. “ no, you deserve the drink, you look– great. ” her slight hesitation was still thanks to her complete and utter shock at this whole situation. “ yeah, good idea, he’s a tosser anyway. i mean, look at his shirt ? who wears shit like that ? ” she smiled politely ( for her, considering most of her smiles were cheeky or devilish ) at the girl, passing her the drink. “ i know he’s my friend, but you can do better. ”

“You’re too sweet. This old thing needs to retire. I think it’s seen enough of this scene to be honest.” she chuckled as she motioned to her dress. “I’ll truly take your led then. I’ve been having a not so great night with men tonight. So the more I avoid them, the better.” Audrey wished she was this confident most days but her current attitude was rare. She accepted the drink with a shrug and took a sip. “Come on now. You’re suppose to be buttering me up for me to like him, not be against him.” she joked. Then a thought popped in her head. “What do you say we have a good laugh and tease him a little. He made you come all the way over here, might as well have a little fun.”

It had been a long overnight shift, and Eliza was tired as hell. She just wanted to go to sleep, but had agreed to cover someone else in just a few hours. The only option was to get some coffee and try and stay awake. She ordered her coffee and waited, headphones in. After a few minutes, however, she stopped the person next to her when she saw them grab her coffee. “I think that’s mine,” she said. “Vanilla oat milk latte?”

[smwgreen]

Being hungover was an understatement. There was a slight possibility that Adam was still drunk. And it was all thanks to his old college buddy who was in town. They had a weekend full of partying, girls, and booze. It was just like old times. Yet Adam was now paying the price. He spotted a cup of coffee being placed on the counter and barely paid attention to the fact that it wasn’t his. He was about to walk off with it until the lady stopped him. With his designer glasses still on, he looked down at the cup and frowned. “Shit, you’re right.” he mumbled. “I would never drink something so weak as oat milk.” he found himself yawing again as he handed the coffee back. “Sorry about that. I heard vanilla and latte and decided to pick it up. Why oat milk though?”

             “ HEY – YOU WANT a drink ? my treat. “, jack spoke, his voice a little bland ( at least, compared to his usually strong tone ) as he kept his gaze fixed on the bottle of beer in front of him. he had needed a drink or two, three… but it was as if sitting at the bar all by himself did not help out one bit. he needed some company, some chat to take his mind off. “ just don’t go wild and ordering something expensive… money doesn’t grow on trees. “, he was quick to add, now giving the person sitting next to him a side-eye. { @musicalstarters​ }

[smwgreen]

Jack didn’t seem like his “usual” self. At least he didn’t seem like the times they were around each other. She sat in the seat next to him, giving him a friendly smile. “I’m fine with a simple gin and tonic if you are offering. Besides, one should never pass up a free drink.” She joked, trying to keep the mood light. “Having a rough week?”
