Brendon just smiled when she called him and Verity cute. After leaving home, Brendon never felt like he had any trouble making friends, his only problem was that he could only make friends and he couldn’t find someone to date. “that is fair” he laughed as she took away the drink, “No complaints here, I’m enjoying my water” he said, holding up his water bottle.

Diana smiled, finding him being probably one of the kindest men she had met in Portland so far, and she had been here her whole life. Taking a sip of her wine before she turned her attention back over to him. “So, Brendon. Tell me a little something about yourself?” She asked him, curios to know more.

“Yeah, I’m kind of offended. I don’t know if I’ll ever forgive you for that” he smiled. “Well as you can probably tell from the very little that you know about me, New York wasn’t very kind to me” he said, putting his hand over his bad shoulder as he adjusted the way he was sitting. “I have a lot of people that I care about in Portland, so I figured if I was leaving New York this would be a pretty good place to go”

Diana rolled her eyes playfully. “I am sure I will find a way to make it up to you.” She told him. “Yeah, I figured as much.” She responded. “That is fair enough. There is nothing more important than friends and family, in my opinion.” She added. “What do you do for a living?”

dieternolan​:

“Thank you, I am trying to be so I’m glad it’s working” he smiled, looking back at her. “I’ll show you my work schedule, it’s very packed” he said, handing his phone calendar to her, it showing the whole month’s worth of shifts of his. For each week it showed him working 12 hours a day for 5-6 days of the week, always only giving him 1 or 2 days off. “You will have plenty of opportunities to visit me at work” he said, knowing that everyone he knew thought he worked way too much. “I’m going to force you to watch it” he nodded, looking back over at her as he continued to sip on his coffee. “It’s really good, I can bring some leftovers in the next time she makes some”

Diana smiled. “It sure is.” She confirmed. Leaning forward when he held out his phone for her to see. Taking his phone she gave it a quick flick through. “Wow.” She said, a bit shocked when she saw how busy he was. “I guess you will just have to let me know when I can get to boss you around.” She told him with a light chuckle. “I doubt the EMT kitchen is big enough.” She added. “At least I know where to find you, if I need to.” She added, shrugging her shoulders gently. Diana rolled her eyes. “Fine, but then I will need coffee, and more coffee, because I heave heard its long.” She warned him. “Oh that sounds like an offer I can’t turn down.”

“Oh yeah, definitely. He is a total sweetheart and his siblings did a great job.” Harmony added with a nod. She knew that the other woman was right, even if she hadn’t experienced it first hand herself. “You’ve got a point for sure. It’s unfortunate.” 

“That us good at least.” Dians said. “Yeah, I mean it is very individual as well but overall that sort of abandonment or neglect tend to create scars.”

[thedianagarcia]

brendonrulli​:

“It did, I would call that a definite success story. She’s my best friend in the whole world” he smiled. “I would like that” he said with a nod. “Although if we’re going to be friends I have to come clean about something” he said before leaning a little bit closer and speaking quieter. “I’m not exactly old enough to drink yet. I used a fake ID to get in here because I like the atmosphere, but I’m definitely…not even close.. to being 21″

“That is cute.” Diana said with a smile. Knowing she had always struggled when it came to making friends, mostly because most girls did not want to be her friend, and guys had only wanted to sleep with her. She had also worked from a young age, so there was that. Diana looked at him, clearly surprised when he told her his age. “Right then.” She said before leaning over and taking back the glass of wine she had previously given him. “Sorry, but seeing we are friends now, I am going to tell you underage drinking is bad.” she said before letting out a teasing chuckle.

[thedianagarcia]

ryancotter​:

“I appreciate that” he smiled, “But I am, I’m actually 31″ he nodded. “I look younger but I feel a lot older than that”

Diana chuckled lightly. “Wow I was off by a whole year, how awful of me.” She responded. “What brought you to Portland then, if you don’t mind me asking?”

[thedianagarcia]

dieternolan​:

“What if I told you I was living alone but I had no hot water and no electricity because I don’t pay my bills- would that change your mind?” he smiled, “That’s a joke, I feel the need to tell you that I do pay my bills and all of the water and lights in my apartment are fully functional, I promise” he said before pulling up the calendar app on his phone, “We should definitely set up an appointment with him, how long do you think it’ll take for you to break my heart- are we talking days? weeks? months? I’m going to need a timeline of events so I don’t schedule this too soon” he joked before looking fake shocked at her. “You’ve never seen Titanic? Oh we have to change that, that’s completely unacceptable” he shook his head. “Those all sound really good, I’m not gonna lie. I will eat anything, I am the least picky eater you will ever meet. My mom used to say I was like a vacuum because I just inhaled everything she put in front of me” he laughed. “But my favorite food is definitely my mom’s lasagna. It was my dad’s recipe and she said he used to make it for her all the time so she makes it for me on special occasions”

Diana laughed. “You are funny, I will give you that.” She told him, knowing very well she had a weak spot for people that made her laugh. Her old clients had been very serious and never really interested in much than for her to just be a pretty thing on their arm at events. “I am relived to hear that! You were starting to sound a lot like my roommates for a while there.” She teased him. Tilting her head a bit to the side again as he pulled out his phone and calendar. “Oh I don’t know. I think we do need to give it a while, you know, just to make sure. What is your work schedule looking like? I figure if I bring you a couple of more coffees durning our shifts it should do the trick.” She said, winking at him before she let out another chuckle. “No I haven’t.” She repeated. “And trust me, nobody is more ashamed than me. I hear its a classic.” She added, shrugging her shoulders, before taking a final sip of her coffee. She got up from the sofa and threw her paper cup in the bin before taking a seat again. “That is good to know at least.” She told him. “Oh, lasagne sounds yummy!”

harmonyandrews​:

“My husband’s siblings had to raise him because his parents were too busy doing lord only knows what. Families are weird, and sometimes parents aren’t who they are supposed to be.” Harmony agreed, nodding at Diana. “That is a good way to look at it.” 

Diana nodded. “Oh I am sorry for your husband, and his siblings. I take it he turned out pretty good though seeing you decided to marry him. Still, there is always a whole that can not be filled when a parent leaves or neglects like that. Or at least in my opinion.” She said.

dieternolan​:

“Oh yeah, I gamble all the time, I have serious money problems because of it” he joked, shaking his head before holding out his hand, “We have to shake on it to make it official” he said, shaking his head. “I hear Dr.Murphy on the sixth floor is a hell of a heart surgeon, I’m sure he’d love to mend my broken heart” he laughed. “I’m very dangerous and mysterious, your mom was right” he nodded. “Yeah, titanic is a sad movie, I think everyone cried when they watched it- it’s not just me” he smiled, “Oh come on- how bad could your cooking be? What’s your go-to meal that you like to cook?”

“I can tell by the fact that you are living alone. Things must be so hard for you.” Diana said, her tone of voice was clearly sarcastic as she let out a light chuckle. Biting her lips together as she locked her eyes onto the man. Reaching out her hand, she gently shook his. “There, its official.” She said. “Oh yeah, Dr. Murphy is one of the best. Should we go ahead an schedule and appointment now?” She chuckled lightly. He did make her laugh, that was for sure. Diana shook her head a bit playfully. “I didn’t. I haven’t seen it.” She told him, shrugging her shoulders gently. “Well to be honest with you, I don’t cook too often, as I hate making food just for one, but when I do I tend to make bacon salad with home made dressing, various curries, pasta dishes, tacos. That sort of thing.” She told him. “What do you like to eat?”

[thedianagarcia]

ryancotter​:

“Most of my life, yeah. I spent almost 30 years there” he nodded, looking back at her. “Fingers crossed”

Diana tilter her head a bit to the side again, eyeing the man. “You don’t look old enough to be over thirty.” She told him sincerely.

[thedianagarcia]

brendonrulli​:

“I never really tried it” he shrugged, “I only drank that one time with my best friend because it was when I just met her and I wanted her to like me and be my friend” he said, looking down at his drink. “I suppose that could be what I’m doing right now too” he admitted with a small laugh.

Diana offered him a slight smile, before she shrugged her shoulders. “Well you are referring to her as your best friend, so I assume it went okay.” Diana responded with a light chuckle, taking another sip of her wine. “I’d love to be your friend!” Diana told him. “And you don’t have to drink that to try and make me become one.” She added with a teasing wink.

[thedianagarcia]

harmonyandrews​:

“Yeah, like I said. I know I had things a lot better than a lot of people.” Harmony replied, smiling softly. “But you got to where you need to be now, and you are stronger for it.” 

Diana nodded. “I mean, my dad ran off when I was just a kid, leaving my mom to raise me and my siblings all alone.” She confided in her. Not a lot of people knew that about her. “But I would not change it for the world to be honest. I would not be who I am today if that had not happened I don’t think.”

[thedianagarcia]

brendonrulli​:

“It’s good, it tastes nice” he nodded, “I am definitely not the type to party all night- I never have and I don’t think I will. My family was really religious so that probably helps explain why I have had about one glass of wine in my life and don’t party” he shrugged, “You’re not a burden, they should be more considerate. Your apartment is a shared space, they’re not being very nice about it”

Diana smiled at him. “My mom never let me party or drink either, but i managed to find my way around it.” She told him. “But honestly it was not worth it in a lot of ways.” She admitted. “I find it hard to have fun without alcohol.” She added. “Yes, well.. I guess I just need someone who are a bit more like minded and relaxed.” She told him

[thedianagarcia]

ryancotter​:

“My time in New York was….interesting, to say the least” he said, shrugging when she spoke again. “I think I should be alright, I haven’t been to the hospital in almost a year and I want to keep it that way”

Diana smiled. “Did you stay there long?” she asked him out of curiosity. He had also kind of given her the go ahead. “That sounds good.” She told him. “Hopefully I won’t be seeing you there any time soon.”

[thedianagarcia]

harmonyandrews​:

“I had scholarships for college which helped, but I was also fortunate enough to have parents who were able to pay for the rest. But I was extremely lucky.” Harmony added, knowing college in the states had ended up being a fortune. “Good for you.”

Diana smiled. “You were lucky.” She told her. “I wish I had taken school a bit more seriously when I was younger, but I had to help my mom with the bills.” She told her. 

[thedianagarcia]

dieternolan​:

“Alright, $10 says you don’t have an evil bone in your body. I don’t know how we’d ever prove anything for this bet, but I’m still making it” he nodded, smiling when she said she would break his first. “Oh you’re on, first one to break the others heart wins” he looked at her. “Oh I’m a real bad guy, I wear leather jackets and drive a motorcycle. I smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day and I definitely didn’t cry when I saw Titanic” he clearly joked. “I can’t turn down that offer, that sounds awesome”

Diana chuckled. “I did not take you for a gambler either.” She told him. “You’re so on!” She added, knowing very well there was a good chance she’d win depending on what he’d defined as bad. Diana chuckled lightly. “I hope you have a good heart surgeon for when I am through with you.” She told him, obviously joking. Diana laughed at his following statement. “You sound like the guys my mom warned me about. Looks like you might be the one to break my heart first.” She told him with a teasing smile. “Titanic huh? That is.. cute.” She chuckled. “You say that now! You haven’t tried my home cooking yet, you might just regret it.” She warned him.

[thedianagarcia]

ryancotter​:

Ryan nodded, “Yeah, I was shot and survived an explosion” he looked at her, “I’m from New York, it was a very different environment from here. I wouldn’t say I’m lucky, I think I’m just too stubborn to die” he joked. “You can ask, I don’t really care” he said as he looked over at her. “I’d hope I wouldn’t have a nurse who fainted when she saw I was bleeding, that would’ve been interesting”

“You don’t say..” Diana said at first, before cracking her lips into a slight smile. “I mean, I have been to New York a few times, and I can’t say I have had any.. issues like that.” She told him, tilting her head a bit to the side. Diana chuckled lightly. “Well, I am getting better. So hopefully you won’t, and if you do, you should pray that the nurse isn’t me.” she told him.
