two steps forward, one step back

“That’s not quite the idea I had, but we can for sure use the blanket and fireplace after my idea…or we could even do it in front of said fireplace. Then we’d be really warmed up.” Graham suggested, nudging her with his shoulder as the two continued to walk down the street. He was thankful for the coffee in his hand, because it was helping to warm him up. One day he’d purchase a proper coat. Until then, a light jacket would have to do. “Ahh, but I’m glad you did. Could you imagine if the two of us would have never met? Tragic, really. Don’t leave me and go back to California. I might have to follow you.” Spotting a nearby bench, he grabbed onto Jamie’s arm and pulled her to it, taking a seat and resisting the urge to pull her into his lap. Instead, he patted the spot besides him. “What are you choosing to busy yourself with, if it’s not me?”

“Then why are we out here when we could be in front of a fireplace and working up a sweat, huh?” Jamie nudged him back with a playful smirk tugging on her lips, trying to stop her cheeks from becoming bright red. “How are you even dealing with this weather without a proper jacket? I have a million layers on and I’m still freezing.” She turned her head to look at him. “I don’t think I would mind that. Come with me and we can enjoy the California weather.” She let out a small yelp as he pulled her towards the bench. Chuckling, she sat down beside him, resting her coffee between her legs for a moment before unwrapping her scarf from around her neck and placed it around him, trying to give him some warmth. Picking her cup up once more, she crossed one leg over the other while her free hand moved to rest on the other’s thigh. “I do have work, you know. As much as I enjoy my job, I wouldn’t mind spending the time with you.”

Orion nodded tiredly, giving Jamie a rueful smile as he tried to warm up his hands with his hot latte. “Believe me, my heater’s on high at all times when I’m home. It’s always freezing here… even a hot NYC day is nothing like in California.” He had to slow his walk to keep in stride with Jamie, the tall man always going a little too fast- it was part of his job, too. “I think the adrenaline of paramedic shit sometimes heats me up, but besides that, I couldn’t tell you. It’s been about 5 years since I moved here and I still can’t stand the winters.”

“You’re right. There are summers here that are a lot tamer than the ones back there.” Jamie walked beside the taller male, trying to keep up with him. She didn’t want him to slow down for her, but with his much longer legs, she felt like a toy poodle trying to keep up with an English Mastiff. “I have five years on you,” she teased, playfully bumping her arm with his. “At least you can break into action and the adrenaline can help you out there.”

“Il ne fait jamais aussi froid dehors que dans mon cœur…” (It’s never as cold outside as it is in my heart) Rory muttered dramatically as she put her hand over her chest in a clasping motion before breaking into a cheeky grin, taking the cup off coffee off Jamie so she could have a swig. Without asking, obviously. “In France we ski, if there is no snow on the ground here then it is not really cold. You are like a….ah what is the word…the lizard one who likes to change the colour.” Rory tripped a little over her English as she tried to express herself. Spending all night partying and battling a significant hangover right now had rendered her less bilingual than usual. “You need to be warm…”

Jamie’s eyes narrowed just a bit while the blonde spoke French. She was never good with other languages. If anything, that had been her least favorite elective in school. Her mouth then soon dropped open when she grabbed her coffee. She was about to protest but figured it wouldn’t matter since she was already taking a sip. “A chameleon?” Jamie asked as she went to describe one of the many reptiles that were out there, but that was the only one she knew that was able to change it’s color. “I do need to be warm and this weather is not for me... clearly. I look like a puffy marshmallow.”

berryxboyd​:

Shivering as the gripped onto her own cup of coffee, Berry shrugged, shooting Jamie and apologetic look, “I’m sorry, I wish I had an answer for you. I’ve only lived here three weeks now but I am not loving this cold.” She scrunched up her nose, taking a sip of the hot drink in her hands. She felt like a lump of clothes with all her layers on. “Look on the bright side, at least the snow is pretty? We don’t have it quite this beautiful in Cali.”

“Can be blinding,” Jamie’s nose scrunched as her eyes looked around, seeing the sun bounce off of the snow and reflecting. “Have you ever been out here for so long with the snow and once you go inside somewhere you just can’t see anything? It’s as if everything turned black and I end up walking into walls,” Jamie said with a laugh before taking another sip of her coffee.

cwndsr​:

Cecelia let out a laugh as she felt the baby kick. “Looks like she missed you, too,” Cecelia said, returning Jamie’s hug. “I missed you too, and so did Jack, Penny, and Theo. I feel like it’s been so long since we’ve seen each other.” Jamie was her dear friend, and she was used to seeing her every day. “We had fun. It was really good to see my parents and grandparents. My brother not so much,” she sighed. Cecelia and her older brother Henry never really got along, and they had drifted apart over the years. “What about yours? What did you end up doing?”

“I can’t wait to meet her.” Jamie said with an excited tone. She had always dreamt about being a mother, but knew that clock was slowly coming to an end and so she lived through Cece and her kids. She loved them as if they were her nieces and nephews. The whole family she felt close to. “It feels like it’s been an eternity. Holidays always make it feel like such a long time.” She soon scrunched her nose when hearing about her brother. “I’m sorry to hear that. I just -- you know, did nothing. I was lazy.”

16, 48

16: do they prefer taxis / buses / subways, etc? or none of the above?

None of the above. Jamie grew up with having to drive or walk, if she can’t do either of them herself, she doesn’t want to be apart of it. 

48: do they have social media? do they like it or hate it? obsess over it?

She does. She prefers not to use it. She used to use Instagram to post her photography but since she doesn’t do that anymore she stays away from social media as much as possible. 

[thejamiea]

2, 6, 19

2:  how do they listen to their music? ipod, mp3, computer, cd, records, etc?

Normally Jamie will listen to old records or spotify on her phone/in her car. It depends on where she’s going and what she’s doing at that point during the day. 

6: what do they normally dream about? nightmares or nonsense?

Nonsense. Jamie has no idea what half of her dreams mean. Unless she’s stressed, then there’s a whole bunch of different things that she dreams about and can turn into a nightmare. 

19: what are their phobias? do they have any at all?

Heights. That’s pretty much it.

brookswalker​:

“Winters here can be brutal - although I’m sure you found that out your first one here. This year actually hasn’t been as bad compared to others. I’m still waitin’ on some big o’l snowstorm that leaves us trapped in our houses for a couple of days. I could use the time off.” Walker said with a chuckle. “I’m used to it. I was always an early riser, and most of my days were spent outside regardless of the season. I also invested in a really nice jacket and learned how to properly dress for the cold. Coffee helps, too.”

“Especially since I only brought two of my hoodies from high school with me. No heavy jacket, no heavy clothes. I was screwed when I had to deal with my first winter here,” Jamie let out a laugh before bringing her cup up to her lips, taking a sip of her coffee. “Why don’t you just let someone take over The Garage for a few days and get some rest?” She questioned with a tilt of her head. “It’s been ten years and I’m still not properly dressed it feels like.”

zeldabaum​:

“Doesn’t hurt to just be born into ‘suppose,” Zelda shrugged, she couldn’t say she actually had much clue why she was okay in the winter like she was, “Like, being in the cold during the winter when you’re developing and shit, helps probably, I can’t fucking stand the heat, though, never got so fucking hot back home.”

“I guess everyone has their own preference. I honestly can’t stand the heat all that much either. I like that in between season changing where you don’t need a jacket... it’s just breezy and cool.” Jamie then brought her shoulders up into a shrug. That would be the perfect place for her to live. Not hot, not cold... in the middle and comfortable.

sean-oshea​:

Sean held back a laugh, instead offering a small, sly grin as he waited for his own cup of coffee to be brought to him. “Well, the winters here aren’t too different than the ones back home. More mild, even.” 

He took his coffee with a grateful grin and then turned to the woman, eyeing her outfit before shrugging. “The lucky thing is that the abominable snowman look suits you, really brings out your eyes, truly,” he laughed, “how long have you lived in the city?” 

“I’m guessing this is better than the ones at home?” Jamie questioned with a raised eyebrow as she brought her cup up to her lips to take a small sip of the hot liquid. It was probably a bad idea to have this much caffeine, but she needed to warm up. 

Laughing, Jamie playfully rolled her eyes, before briefly looking down at her cup. “The good thing about this weather is that you can’t tell if my cheeks are red from blushing or from the cold wind that is going straight through me.” Jamie let out another chuckle. “Ten years. Terrible, right?”

[thejamiea]

“I swear... this is my third cup of coffee. No matter how long I’ve been here, I miss California in the winters. It’s been ten years and I still can’t get used to the cold.” Jamie shivered just a bit while holding onto the cup of coffee with both hands. Even with gloves on, she was hoping it would warm up her hands. “How do you even deal with this? I can’t count how many layers I have on right now.” @codstarters​

[thejamiea]

When seeing Cecelia again after this holiday break, a smile instantly grew on her lips. “Sweetie pie, I missed you,” she said in a soft tone while approaching the other female only her hands went to her growing belly for a brief moment, more of a joke before moving in to give Cece a gentle hug. “And I missed you as well,” she let out a soft chuckle before pulling back to look at her friend-slash-boss. “How were your holidays? I have to say that I missed working and was bored out of my mind the entire time.” @cwndsr​

grahamhodson​:

When Jamie opened the door, Graham was surprised to see her new cut and color. He didn’t think it was possible for her to become even more gorgeous than she already was, but apparently she could. He stood admiring her for a few seconds before he smiled, holding up a bag of take out. “I’m glad you said your place tonight, because…mine’s a bit of a mess, and I wouldn’t want you coming into a cluttered home. Besides, you’re right. Nothing wrong with trying something new.” He wasn’t very sure where things were going with the two, but he was going to enjoy whatever it was. Setting the bag down on the nearby coffee table, Graham smiled once more as he took in her place. “It’s really nice. It looks better than mine, if I’m being honest. I feel like I need to decorate my apartment more.”

“When is your place ever a mess?” Jamie raised an eyebrow, letting him in and closing the door behind him. “Also, you’re crazy for thinking that this is better than your place. I feel like my apartment feels like a closet compared to your place,” she chuckled, even though she was being serious. Moving in, she pressed a quick kiss to his cheek and began to lead Graham into her kitchen where her island was so they could eat there. “How have you been? How was your new year’s eve and such? I know we just seen each other, but it feels like a while.” She admitted with a shrug of her shoulders. She wasn’t sure what was going on between them. It was a weird thing and something she didn’t want to ask because that would just make things even more weird. Instead, she was just enjoying whatever this was.
