“Yeah! I knew him in high school, I suppose it’s a good thing to have people around who knew you before life got all crazy and what not, right?” She replied, trying to put a positive spin on it. “Ouu yes, my little Martha Stewart. You’ve got to start hoking a sister up with your left over goodies.”

[themiasong]

“Yeah, as long as he’s a cool guy too. I don’t want to see you upset or anything, you know?” she gave her a small smile. “Just swing on by whenever you want and I can sneak you some cupcakes or something.”

“He’s not, he’s at school. Why won’t you go with just me?”

[themiasong]

"Well, you know that Nathan's my precious little pal. But we'll have a blast with the two of us as well, so let's do it."

[irishr0ver]

“Good point, good point. I always like to tease her by pronouncing all of the words wrong, like pollo instead of “poy-o.” She gets all annoyed and crosses her arms and pouts.”

[themiasong]

“You’re an evil, evil dude. I bet she knows that you low-key do know some Spanish. You’re just trying to drive Savannah crazy, aren’t you?”

[theconnorclark-gone-blog]

“Get off your ass, we’re going to the beach.”

[themiasong]

“Only if Nathan is going.”

[rory-q]

“I know, it’s been like a billion years, have you been avoiding me, missy? I’ve been wonderful, of course. Well mostly, at least. I ran into an old um… friend, the other day. So that was kind of weird for a little, but other than that things are great.” She explained, forcing a smile. “How about you, princess? Are you good?”

[themiasong]

“You wish I was,” she joked. “But I’ve been in the kitchen mostly. Oh,wow. Someone from back home?” The girl raised a brow, deciding not to dig into it too much. “I’ve been pretty good, nothing new is really happening.”

[irishr0ver]

“I can hardly speak proper English. If I had the self determination, Miss Mia, I would. But hey, living with Savannah is like my own personal Spanish app. Sorta.”

[themiasong]

“Does anyone? It’s all good because we all understand each other though,” the girl shrugged. “Maybe you’ll start speaking Spanish fluently in a few years.”

[rory-q]

“But Mia…” Rory mimicked. “I don’t think your parents want to see my awful dance moves.”

[themiasong]

“Compared to mine, you’re a rock star, but if you say so,” she chuckled as she turned off the camera. “What’ve you been up to? I feel like it’s been ages since I’ve seen you.”

[levi-reynoldss]

“Yeah, maybe he’s a bit more forgiving with his friends,” Levi agreed, “But at the same time, what a chance it’d be to get criticism from Gordon Ramsay. It’d probably be harsh, but whatever makes me a better chef, right? Um, I’m from New York City.” 

[themiasong]

“You’re already a pretty great chef as it is. But you ought to share the things you learn from Gordon with me,” she added a wink. “Wow, you’re from the opposite side of the country. I guess it was a bit of a trip on the way here.”

[irishr0ver]

“Well, most of the English speaking world, yeah! If I were smart enough I’d love to learn another language, but I was pretty rubbish in school.”

[themiasong]

“Let’s be real though, foreign languages are hard. But hey, you could always use those apps that teach you another language.”

[rory-q]

“Would you quit taking videos of me already?”

[themiasong]

“But Rory,” she pouted. “My parents want me to send them a video of everything going on here.”

“Look at you, you look so ugly. I’m just kidding, I can’t even say that with a straight face, I am sorry.”

[themiasong]

“That wasn’t exactly the smartest thing to say,” she lifted her cup of water jokingly. “I won’t hesitate to toss this at you.”

[levi-reynoldss]

Levi shrugged. “Hey, friends maybe, as long as I don’t have to get judged on my cooking,” he laughed, “He definitely is a man to admire. As far as I know from seeing him on TV, he’s less grumpy and just more pissed off when he’s angry. Hotel Hell, right. I saw the commercials I think.” He crumpled the leftover cupcake liner in his hand before throwing it away in the nearest trash can. “Who’s your dentist? How do you have your sweet tooth so under control?” he joked, not really looking for an answer. “Home? Nah, not really my thing. Congrats to your brother though,” he replied, wondering for a moment what it’d be like to have seen Claire graduate. 

[themiasong]

“If you guys are friends, he probably wouldn’t be too rough on you if you ever have him over for dinner... Hopefully,” she added a wink before chuckling. “Yeah, definitely. I haven’t really gotten into watching that even though I kind of want to since he’s in it,” she noted, before grinning at his joke. “I’m sure he’d say thanks,” she replied. “Where are you from anyway? I don’t think I ever really got a chance to ask.”

[irishr0ver]

“That’s okay, everyone does.” Sam laughed. “I don’t know if the whole jet setter life is for me though. In concept, it’s awesome, but I feel so outta place when I travel. You know?”

[themiasong]

“I get what you mean. I guess it’s also a little better when you travel in a group since at least you have people you know with you. But hey, I think it’s safe to say that you’ve gone to a good amount of places around the world, right?”

[baker-alex-blog]

“Waves. Waves happened. I was no match against them.”

[themiasong]

“If you ever feel like getting out there again, maybe grab a surf instructor to help you out.”

[levi-reynoldss]

“Dear god, what I’d give to be best friends with Gordon Ramsay,” he laughed, “I wonder if he has a temper about other things besides cooking. Doesn’t he have some new hotel show?” Levi finished off the last bite of cupcake, feeling a bit weird eating a cupcake in front of Mia alone. “I have no idea how you restrain from eating the whole tray right now. But anyway, how were things at home?” 

[themiasong]

“I can see you guys working out pretty well as friends actually,” she chuckled. “I feel like he’s just a very passionate man, so he probably does. But hey, no judgement coming from me -- only admiration. Yeah! Isn’t it called like Hotel Hell or something like that?” She bit the inside of her cheek when he mentioned the cupcakes. Up until now. she was just trying to focus on the conversation and not the tray in front of her. “I’m pretty stuffed from earlier so it’s actually not that hard,” she shrugged casually. “Pretty good. It was weird to watch my younger brother graduate cos I always see him as my ‘baby brother,’” she admitted with a chuckle. “Do you ever plan on visiting back home?”

[baker-alex-blog]

“So, I thought I would learn to surf on my day off today. Safe to say, that did not go well at all.”

[themiasong]

“Oh dear,” Mia gave her a concerned look. “What happened?”

[irishr0ver]

“Oh, I know I am, Miss Mia, I won’t be offended if ya recognize that.” He laughed, knowing that Mia knew him well enough by now to tell what he was thinking. “If only I had the money to do that every weekend. Just up and leave for a holiday.”

[themiasong]

The girl rolled her eyes playfully and nudged him in the shoulder, “Whatever you say Sam, but I’m still going to argue against you,” she gave him a smile. “Yeah, that would be perfect. I guess you’ll just have to cut it down to like once a month or something.”
