It had been a late night, a busy night, to say the least at the jewelry store, so the bar was somewhere where Kiara wanted to be. She took a drink of the whiskey and coke and heard footsteps behind her. "Oh, hey. How are you?"

“So I’m just out here living my best life, right? And I get it, I’m gone half the year with my brother...and I know, I know, we’re twins. We have the same face. But somehow, somehow, we get home and ma still calls me Mickey. I’m not Mickey, come on Eileen.” He shook his head before resting his chin on his palm. Looking back at the person in front of him with a sigh. “We have different tattoos, different jackets, ya know? Twenty,” he paused to remember how old he was, “seven years of this.”

“Do you know how hard it’s been, looking for dresses for someone six foot seven? This was custom-made, and very expensive. And of course, it ripped during my performance. So please, please join me in a shot. Or three, before I go jump off a cliff.” Celeste was already finishing off a fruity cocktail, exhausted from performing all night, and irritated. “Did I at least look alright? Could you tell I stepped on the hem?”

“Don’t get me wrong, I love my job more than anything in the world, I do...but there are just some days I want to..” She mimicked strangling something before sighing, her shoulders slumping forwards a little. “You know what I mean?” She snorted and rolled her eyes. “This one woman sent her dish back five times with different complaints each time. First the food was too hot, then cold, then the rare steak was too rare so she wanted chicken, then the chicken didn’t look right, then she started saying she meant to order the vegetarian dish.” She shook her head. “I just am ready for a glass of wine and a full body massage now. I have so much tension in my shoulders it’s insane” @chicagcstart​

After his fun weekend, Colin knew he had to be at work in a little bit. So of course, he hurried getting dressed, then made himself coffee to go instead of his usual going out to get it. As he was leaving his building, he accidentally bumped into someone, which caused his coffee to spill onto his scrubs, leaving him in a state of shock. “Oh crap.”

Paxton was a fairly lowkey guy in his everyday life, which was hilarious considering his extracurricular activities, but that’s just the kind of guy that he was. Today, he was actually feeling pretty upbeat, which didn’t happen all that often, and he decided to walk to his favorite bakery and café for a snack. It helped that it was owned by his brother’s boyfriend, but still, he paid. He was in line looking at all the options when he turned over his shoulder to the person behind him. “What do you want? I’ll pay.”

OPEN STARTER | Uber Pool

The rain came out of nowhere. One minute she was standing there waiting for her shared ride and listening to an audiobook and the other she was trying to use her bag as an umbrella. Kit was soaking wet when she made it into the backseat, and thought she was still smiling, half amused at her predicament, truth was, she was a little embarrassed. 

“I’m so sorry!” Was the first thing out of her mouth, mostly at the driver, as she joined the other passenger in the backseat. Kit tried to keep to her side and not move much at all not to get more of the seat wet. “I hope you have an umbrella with you!” She added with a chuckle, sighing as she looked back at her wet clothes and dripping hair.

Florian didn’t avoid going out in public on purpose, but there were some days it was just easier. Today would have been one of those days except for the fact that he had absolutely no food at his house and nothing he was dying to order in. For the most part, he managed to keep his tics masked on his way to the grocery store, but about a block away, a whistle - that he had affectionately dubbed the sexy whistle - forced its way out, along with a shaky finger hearts. His cheeks flushed brightly and he wanted to melt into the sidewalk. “I’m so sorry.”
