As of lately, Vito has found himself spending more and more time around Mari. Perhaps not the wisest choice he's made, considering she was his best friends daughter, and it could be in a way frowned upon. But she was an adult, so was he, and he took no shame in finding her presence so calming and comforting.

Tonight, he agreed to try out yoga at her studio. There's a sentence he never thought he'd say, but yes, he was going to try it, for her. He saw no harm in it, and Vito was a man in great shape, perhaps not as flexible as one should be for yoga but he'd try still. Arriving to the destination, Vito wasn't sure if he dressed appropriately for the session so he had more options with him in the bag. "Alright, don't judge me but what does a person wear to this kind of training? I thought shorts and a sleeveless shirt would be most comfortable, but I brought other clothes just in case."he shrugged and looked over in her direction. "And you have to promise me not to look at my Hobbit feet, I beg of you."he said with a warm laugh.

"Mr. Perkins we simply must stop meeting like this it is highly unprofessional, what would the board think?" Theodosia gasped sarcastically as she straddled Malcolm's waist wrapping her arms around his neck. With a devious smirk she leaned in kissing him with need sighing against his mouth before pulling back. "Have I mentioned before I am equally parts pissed yet proud of you?" She hummed lazily moving her fingers over the back of his neck. "Or how annoyed I am that I have to read and prepared these fake ass statements regarding you and that brilliant mind?"

As they were closer now he could see an air of her not being from here, he could be wrong obviously, besides he'd only lived in town for a few years now but she looked like she was above people in this town, not in a bad way, just an accomplished woman. "Well, if it's a battery problem I can't do nothing about it. And for the overheat you just have to let it cool." Carrick tsked. Looking over the bed of his truck he checked if he had some rope to at least pull the woman's car with his but they had no luck. "I am, yeah, got a bar downtown, I was heading there right now. I don't have anything to pull your car but you can come with me and we'll get a tow and we're not that far so it's pretty safe if you it stays here for a while." He motioned to the car.

The mood was the first thing to hit Carina the moment she entered it. There was a sudden feeling that she had absolutely entered the wrong place, and not just that, she had the feeling that she might have been better off being chased after by the paparazzi she was hiding from. Still, when the tall man ordered her to remain in the spot he directed her to, she had no inclination to move anywhere else. A part of her was tempted to call her parents and see if they could get her out of this mess, but she was worried that if she even reached for her phone that perhaps that would be considered in the 'don't move' order and she might end up in more trouble.

Once the man returned to her, speaking with clear irritation in his voice, Carina narrowed her gaze at him. "I already told you why I was here. It's not like I strategically picked this place to come into, I simply came in because it was the first and most convenient place I could slip into so that I could hide from the paparazzi." She knew she should have kept her tone civil, but she was feeling a bit annoyed now that he seemed so accusatory towards her. All she had wanted was a place to lay low for a moment. "As for who I am, just take a stroll through any tabloid area, maybe watch a movie, or two, and you might figure that out on your own. It's not exactly a secret."

Jack loved weddings — while he was in no rush to get married himself, that didn’t mean that he didn’t enjoy other people’s. What wasn’t there to love? An open bar, dancing, and joyous people. It was all of Jack’s favorite things, most of which he didn’t get to enjoy as much as he would have liked to. After finding out his close friend was getting married, the businessman knew there would be no excuse to make, he was going to be attending. 

Given his busy schedule Jack still managed to miss the rehearsal dinner, but he made sure to be there for the main event. The man arrived in a full tom ford suit smelling of expensive cologne to the wedding venue with the rest of the Taylor siblings. It came to no one’s surprise that within minutes he had broken off and was already mingling up some of the wedding guest. Though as he caught a sight of a very familiar face, Jack excitedly made his way to the blonde. “Is that who I think it is?” Jack’s voice was loud enough to hear over the other guest chattering and the music playing. He couldn’t hide the smile on his face from ear to ear as he came up behind the blonde. “So nice of you to dress up to see me considering you’ve been hiding from me,” he teased. Jack was ready with wide open arms,  ready for the biggest hug.

To be present in two places that were so different from each other made everything thrilling. Misty knew that, after working non-stop for long nights at the nightclub, trying to find another way to digest the information she received from an Intel regarding a dangerous criminal. She had been working for the FBI for years as an undercover agent, and there was the beauty of it: nobody knowing she was, in fact, an FBI agent. Everyone believed she was just a stripper, dancing erotically during the evenings. And she wanted it to remain that way.

She was finishing preparing for the private dancing session when she heard the client stepping into the room. "I'll be ready in a few minutes, babe. You get yourself comfortable." Misty purred to him as she kept her gaze on the small pocket mirror she was holding in one hand, while the other painted the red lipstick all over her plump lips.

It had been nervewrecking to bring Connor along to the family weekend they had planned for Thanksgiving. Melanie had told her parents that she was going to bring someone along, someone who she had been seeing quite seriously for the past time and that had been enough for her parents to get excited already. She hadn’t told them that the person she had been seeing was around eight years older than her and when they had arrived at the cabin the previous day, her parents and brothers had definitely been a little shocked. The first day had gone well, where the blonde had been rather worried if Connor would be able to get along with her brothers, it had not been needed since he got along perfectly. It was the second day now and they were stuffed with the dinner her mother had prepared and everyone had just excused themselves before they would see each other again for a game night later on. Melanie was laying on the bed, her eyes closed as she felt the bed shift next to her as a sign that Connor had joined her. With her eyes still closed, she started to talk. “You know, I like seeing you interact with my brothers and father. They like you a lot.”
