Little Secrets | Aaron & Cass

( aaronbbe )

Cass liked summertime in New York. She'd laugh and tell you it was because she could sleep till eleven and eat ice cream for breakfast and not have to worry about going anywhere if she didn't want to. Summer was just around the corner for her: but had been dragged out because of all of the snow days her kids had gotten this winter. 

Even though she was still working, it was summer now: the temperatures were in the 80s and most of the wealthy New Yorkers had abandoned the city for their summers in the Hamptons. 

It was Saturday afternoon and Cass was waiting around for her sister to finish her shift at the coffee shop and then they were going to spend the evening together (Cass had promised that they'd actually go out -- yesterday had been payday, afterall -- and do something more than just stay home and watch Netflix.)

She had spent the morning sitting in the cafe, grading (something she had thought would have taken until Rose got off), but finishing she grabbed a smoothie to go and walked around aimlessly, trying to settle on somewhere to grab lunch when she saw Aaron Donovan.

"Aaron! Hey!" She called. "God, I feel like I run into you all the time," She laughed. "Stalker."

She hadn't seen him since the fiasco that was last weekend's get together. She and Rose would have bet anything that he and Mike Moretti would really hit it off (she did not see their game night concluding with an especially intense round of bop-it). From now on, they vowed to keep their friends separate. 

"Wanna grab some lunch with me?" She asked, "I'm debating getting pizza at Alfonso's or doubling back and grabbing a sandwich, although what I really want is to go to Sam's back in Boston and get some clam chowder."

We Insist | Alek & Aaron

Stepping from the backseat of a town car, Alek Nielson straightened and took his first look at King's. Bright orange neon lights flashed above the door, screaming at anyone who drove past that they were, in fact, open for both lunch and dinner. He shouldn't have expected any better from his contact, who had chosen this location in Rocky Hill, CT (the halfway point between Boston and New York) for a meeting. 

The parking lot was nothing but a continuation of the dirt road they had driven in on and the recent rain had made it slick with mud. The other patrons seemed not to care as they trudged through it, giving Alek quizzical looks as they passed him by.

Thankfully, he had been dropped off close enough to the door that his suit was not dirtied by this. 

The place was dimly lit and smelt of beer and grease. Classic rock played too loudly from the speakers at the bar where two drunk patrons were arguing. This was not where Alek would have selected, but part of the deal was that Connoghan's contact would choose the meeting place. 

He searched around for the hostess and, finding none, turned the the first waitress he came across. She was old  - or rather, appeared so. He guessed she was younger than she looked, but her lifestyle had aged her. Her skin was leathery, her hair had been dyed and was fading, and her breath smelt like cigarettes. 

"I have an appointment with a Mr. Donovan. Could you tell me if he has been seated? If not, I need a table for two."

The waitress stared back at him for a moment, "Oh, honey, just seat yourself, " She said. 

Alek nodded and said nothing, as he passed by her. He knew what Aaron Donovan looked like, of course. He knew what they all looked like. It was his job to know, but that didn't mean he felt as though he should have to go searching for him. 

Luckily, he did not have to go far: he saw him in the corner where he was already halfway through his beer. 

"Mr. Donovan, I presume?" He asked, approaching the table and after a moment of looking over it's questionable cleanliness, took a seat across from him.

*overly aggressive bop-it game* 

OKAY BUT THEIR FIRST MEETING WILL BE SO AWKWARD??? B/c I think that Aaron will immediately know who Mike is and I think Mike will suspect that Aaron is Jack Donovan's brother and STARE DOWN. And Mike will BE LIKE HOW DO THEY KNOW HIM??? And then is all oh yeah, they are from Boston, but when he figures out that they just met, he knows it's not a coincidence and NO. And like, he probs goes home and immediately asks around and basically tries to figure out if they have any connection to this and idk, might find out that their sister is partners in the police force w/ Connoghan's nephew and wonder if there's something there and IDK what he's gonna find out for sure/what he thinks, but I do know that he thinks that Aaron is there on business and not pleasure and doesn't trust him AT ALL and basically at the Carter's whenever he can be (which probably is what is going to prompt him to invite them to his house, tbh, like he couldn't get out of x dinner and was like OKAY I HAVE GUESTS so he could keep an eye on them) and that awkward moment when he now only goes over to the Carter's place armed haha. ;D 

Okay, so that was just a rant about my Aaron/Mike rivalry/enemy thing idk but I have a lot of feels b/c they'd get along, I think, in any other universe and here Mike is basically like GO DIE NOW. 

Anyway, I was thinking that they'd probably meet this month/basically in this string of events ??
