   Christopher didn’t usually mean to be sneaky. In fact, his 6-foot frame was a dead giveaway to his presence, more often that not. But in this instance, it was clear that they didn’t see him nor hear him, judging by their lack of totally noticing him. 

   Which was why he finally piped up, clearing his throat first; he didn’t want to startle anyone. ❝Don’t you think that’s a little too much?❞ he inquired, quirking a brow as he looked to the other with keen interest.

Liam was looking for his dad. He had a few questions he needed to ask him, but he hadn’t been able to find him. He was probably out working, doing something for Mr K, but he thought he would stop in at Ace’s just in case he happened to be there. He walked in and was glad to see it wasn’t too busy and he could easily see his dad wasn’t there. He sighed and sat at table after grabbing a sparkling water from the bartender. He wasn’t much of drinker.

He watched the people around coming in and out. He heard a familiar voice from behind him and turned around to greet them with a smile. “Oh hi there.”

Benjamin sat at the bar working on his fourth beer of the evening, usually he would pace himself, though it didn’t matter tonight. He was going home to an empty apartment. The male knew the woman he’d hoped to be his fiance by now is doing the right thing by leaving down. As her baby bump was starting to show with every passing day and proving that Devils can be ruthless with blowing up Sugar Rub and firing shots in a public event. Ben couldn’t risk it anymore. He begged her and sure they fought about it all night, but eventually, she agreed with him and packed a couple bags and left to stay with a sibling out of state. Despite it being for the better, he hated not having her by his side. This will be the first time they ever attempt at long-distance since they started dating many years ago. It’s safe to say, he wasn’t taking the first night very well. As he poured the last sip from his alcoholic beverage, but put the glass down and sighed. “Another.”

It was a slow night at the Moonlight bar. Apart from regulars who wanted their daily dose of drugs, the brunette was left without much else to do. Peering at the bar, she slowly ventured there and leaned upon the surface. Shifting forward, she got the bartender’s attention and motioned for a drink. “I’ll get theirs too,” she pointed to the patron on her left. Her attention turned towards them then, “What brings you here tonight? We celebrating or drinking our sorrows away,” Ivanna asked as she placed her elbow upon the surface of the bar, cupping her chin in the palm of her hand while dark hues racked over them.

“Ew.” Ferah whispered beneath her breath when the male attempted to lean in closer to her. Pulling her arm away from them in order to shift her position, the brunette searched eagerly for a stranger in the crowd. “I’m meeting someone here....” When she caught the gaze of someone, she didn’t hesitate to jump forward and grasped for the others arm. “Can you please help me. This guy is a creep and I’d rather not have to listen to him gush over his six — yes, six — cats for the next few hour.” Ferah almost pleaded, jutting out her lower lip towards them. “I’ll pay for your next drinks, even your bar tab.”

          𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍  from the very moment she had stepped off of the jet. it did, however, thicken as she exited the airport and neared the familiarly busy streets of her home. it was early and if she was honest, leyla hadn’t slept a single second of her flight even if she could have. the path was familiar, she’d been on it more times than she could count. lithe frame slips off of the suv - heels clicking against the sidewalk and she thanks the familiar driver. ❝ don’t worry, gary - i plan to bring back your favorite. ❞ she doesn’t linger, instead, moves towards the quaint shop and enters it freely. it was less public, not often visited and safe from prying eyes. it wouldn’t take long for paparazzi to hunt her down, she knew that. however, they often left her alone once they got a few shots and words from the actress. leyla was prepared. ❝ what is going on today ??? why is everyone being so weird ?? ❞ silky soft voice calls, head finally turning towards the person she had moved to stand besides.

After the pretty unsettling news and some exhaustingly long meeting with the other members, Ana's slow steps were finally carrying her home throughout the empty streets of New York. Something about the night walks was calming enough for her to organize her thoughts and put everything that happened lately into somewhat clear order. But the trail of her thoughts was soon interrupted by another set of footsteps behind her. She turned her head swiftly just to see an unrecognizable figure. The paranoia created from the latest events resulted in her being extra careful rather than sorry. “Hello?”
