“I have to drink the dry with certain food. But I can drink rose all day long. It’s a weakness,” she smiled brightly with a nod. “Right? I’m Jewish, so I don’t really celebrate Christmas, but mulled wine always seems to be on that list of foods I think of for Christmas.” Of course, the mulled wine was something she liked. It didn’t matter what holiday it was for. “Thanks. Cheers?”

“It’s better for your stomach.” He had agreed. Luke hadn’t been a big drinker because he had to be sober at his job and on duties. He had rarely made exceptions. “I only celebrate for my niece because she loves Christmas but without her I wouldn’t” Lucas had laughed. “Cheers!”

  Verity smiled back at him, “No? Why not?” She asked him out of curiosity, “The drinks are free, you really should take advantage of it while it lasts.” She added. She nodded her head again before biting down her bottom lip, “Yeah.. I used to work in a bar so I know it all too well I am afraid.” She admitted, “Doesn’t make it any easier, but I guess it kind of comes with the job.” Not that she was working tonight or anything. “You really did.” She said again, “Sorry if I am keeping you from somewhere or someone.” 

"I don't drink a lot. I don't like the feeling to not be in control." He had told her, smirking. Luke had problems with that but he had never really talked about it. "I'm sorry for them. They make all of us look bad. It shouldn't happen." He had told her but he had known it happened a lot. "Some jobs are rough but someone needs to do them." Luke had laughed. "No you're not. I'm alone. What about you? Are you expecting someone?"

Walking home from work with earbuds in, Rosie held her bag tight to her as she gave a small dance while walking. “There was a game we used to play We would hit the town on Friday night, stay in bed until Sunday. We used to be so free. We were livin’ for the love we had, livin’ not for reali- Can I help you?” The blonde felt someone touch her shoulder as she quickly turned around.  @ashtontnhqstarter​

Lucas had been talking on his phone and hadn’t seen the girl. He had brushed her with his shoulders and stopped. “I’m sorry! Did I hurt you?” Luke had asked her, smiling. He had told his boss he had to go and slipped his mobile in his pocket. “I’m not a good multitasker.” He had laughed.

itsveritysinclair​:

 Verity smiled back at the stranger, “Ah, no worries! I told you not to drive.” She responded, trying to play it off as realistic as possible. She was relived when the guy had gotten up to leave, probably intimidated by the much taller male. She offered him a smile, “Yes, thank you. He was getting a bit.. Pushy.” She did her best at explaining, “So thank you. I really appreciate it.”

"It's okay. I'm not going to drink." He had winked at her. Luke had been lying because he hadn't been here with his car but he had needed the excuse to fit. He hadn't liked to fight but he could be intimidating if he had wanted to. Luke had been in the military since he had finished school. It hadn't needed more then a glare to the older guy. He had been glad he didn't try to start a fight. "Sorry. Drunks can be idiots." He had told her. "Not a problem. I'm glad I've been able to help."

She looked up at him, laughing a bit at his joke before nodding “Well, that’s true but we can still make room for you right here” she tapped the bartop slightly where she’d cleared a space. “Have at it” she grinned,

He had laughed with her and had been glad she had found his joke funny. Luke hadn't been sure about his sense of humor sometimes. "That's nice of you! Thank you!" He had smiled at her. "Are you having fun?" Luke had asked her because he had just gotten here. "I'm going to order something to drink since it's on the house and I feel it would be rude to say no to that. Would you like something too?"

summer-austin​:

“I’m fine,” Summer gave the boy a weak smile that didn’t quite meet her eyes, but she tried her hardest. It was New Years Eve, and despite the fact that she really wasn’t in the mood to celebrate, she didn’t want to bring everyone else down with her. “Cheers to that,” she said, lifting her glass in front of her. “I’m Summer, by the way. I don’t believe we’ve had the pleasure of meeting,” she said. She would definitely remember meeting him. 

Luke had been able to tell her smile was fake. He hadn't smiled for real often and had known the difference. "Cheers!" He had repeated and had taken a small sip. Luke hadn't been a party guy or drinker. He had usually avoided both. "I don't think we have. I'm Lucas. Nice to meet you, Summer!" Lucas had told her and had held out his hand. He had been good at remembering faces and information because he had been trained for it. "Are you new here too?" He had asked curiously.

Zelda pushed her way through the crowd of people, heading towards the bar. She needed another drink, she stood next to the bar and ordered. Her eyes scannin across the sea of people in an attempt to find someone she knew. Grabbing her drink she took a long sip and closed her eyes, music pounding in her ears. She opened her eyes a moment later, deciding to stay near the bar as dancing had made her a bit too hot. “Oh sorry, I didn’t mean to block you” she said noticing someone standing beside her and moved a bit out of the way in case they were trying to get to the bar.

Lucas hadn't been sure if he had wanted to join the event but he had needed to get out again. Luke had dressed in a suit but had left the tie off to look more casual. He had decided to give the event a chance and leave early. When he had tried to reach the bar, he had seen the girl and had tried to move out of her way. "It's hard to block me, don't worry." He had joked about his height.

summer-austin​:

Date: December 31st, 9pm. Open to all. 

As Summer sipped her free glass of prosecco and made her through through the venue, she couldn’t help the thoughts in her head telling her that she should be surrounded by her friends in Manhattan, waiting for the ball to drop. Instead, she was alone in a crowded room and she felt more than invisible. Perhaps it was the alcohol she had consumed, the fact that she had lost virtually all of her friends, or maybe the realisation that her career had taken three steps back, but she suddenly felt on the brink of tears. She made her way to the bar, trying to compose herself as she ordered another drink, clearing her throat when she realised someone was beside her. “Here’s hoping the new year is a lot better, right?” she said, her big smile plastered back on her face. 

Lucas had adjusted his suit and had taken a seat at the bar. He hadn't been at a party in ages. Luke had ordered a beer because he hadn't been planning on getting drunk. He had hated the feeling not to have control. His eyes had observed the area when he had seen the girl next to him. She had looked sad. "Are you okay?" He had asked her. "Let's hope it is!" Lucas had agreed.

itsveritysinclair​:

Verity was seated at the bar, sipping off her drink while her attention kept flickering around the room in desperate search for a familiar face. The man that had decided to take a seat next to her was clearly not going anywhere, and he was just getting more and more intense. She spotted someone in the corner of her eye, appearing to be approaching the bar counter right behind her from where she was seated, and quickly turned around, offering them a desperate  smile. “There you are!” She exclaimed, the desperation also clear based on her facial expression, “I have been looking all over for you!”

@ashtontnhqstarter​

This had been the first time he had gone to a party in a long time. Luke hadn't been sure if it had been a good idea but he had needed to get out a bit. He had dressed in a suit but without a tie to make it look more casual. When he had reached the bar, he had seen the girl who had looked like she needed help. He had straightened his back to make him look even taller than he had already been. "I've been trying to find a parking lot. Sorry it had taken so long." Luke had smiled at her and had turned to the man. "Thank you for keeping her company but I'll have to snatch her away." He had told him and had returned to look at her. "I hope it had been okay to say that."

theharmonyandrews​:

“I want it to be good again, I really do. I think that everyone deserves it to be good again.” Harmony replied knowing that a lot of the people in Ashton were good people. Nobody deserves to feel afraid in the town that they lived in.  “Sooner rather than later would be good.”

“I agree with you.” He had admitted, smiling a bit. Luke had seen worse places than Ashton and people with worse traumas and he had been sure they would be okay in the future. “Let’s hope the best!” He had nodded.

She nodded “Yeah I think a toy is probably better” she said, handing him the box. “They have these like… baby princess here” she said catching a gimpse at the box before shrugging. ‘Here.” she said “Give her a gift from me too” she smiled placing the baby Moana in her cart. She scrunched her nose slightly, shaking her head a bit “Oh you don’t have to do that.” she rolled her lip under her teeth before shrugging. “I mean…. If you insist I can’t really object but its not necessary.” she said having a feeling he may insist.

He had looked at the box and had nodded. “Do you think she’d like it? I always have been a bigger fan of Jungle Book and Lion king. Princess moves have never been my specialty.” Luke had laughed. “I’ll pay for both. But thank you for your help.” He had nodded. “I know it’s not but I’d like to. I insist but only if you want to. “ Lucas had offered again.

itstrevorhastings​:

 “Right, I guess that is fair.” Trevor had nodded in response to his words, “Yeah, technology these days are both a blessing and a curse to be honest with you.” He said, knowing he saw a lot of down sides to it with his job, but at the same time overall it made his job a lot easier. 

“It is! I’m not complaining because it would have been more difficult to keep in touch with my family without it but it can be stressing too.” Lucas had agreed. “Have you gotten all presents for Christmas yet?” He had asked him curiously. “I’m still not done with the shopping.” Luke had laughed because he had only few days left to get it done.

wren-castillo​:

“I like sweet.” Wren said as she pondered the idea, “I think I’ll definitely have to find one of the non-alcoholic versions and try it. Even if it’s not for me, at least I’ll know then. And if it’s good, it would give me more options then just switching between hot chocolate and apple cider every day.” she said with a small laugh, “I’m glad I’ve been too busy to spend much money this semester, cause I’m blowing most of my spending money just coming here nearly every day.”

"Most girls do." He had laughed. "I like dry more but for Christmas I'll take the sweet." Luke had explained. "They have it at the same booth. If you want, we could get it now?" Lucas had asked because he had seen it already. "It's worth a try!" He had added because most people he had known had liked it. "That's true. I believe they had two kinds. A yellow and a red punch." Luke had let her know. "I can understand why. This round is on me. Don't worry. You can let your wallet relax a bit."

[thisislucasbecker]

itsbraxtonallen​:

 “That is very true.” Brax laughed back at him while nodding his head. He nodded again at his following words, “I think that is understandable. My mom was the same when I said I originally wanted to be a cop.” He told him, which was fair enough all things considered. “Thanks.. It is um.. Been a long few years, but it was never the same after.” He said. “That is fair. Family is very important.”

"It is. But it had been more because they had wanted me to take over my dads company. She had been worried but more disappointed because of it." Luke had shrugged. It had been a big issue in the family and he had stopped talking to them because of this and because they hadn't wanted to adopt his brother too but had lied to him about it. He had nodded at the mans words." I understand. It is but sometimes it's very complicated."

magnoliaquinn-m​:

“Are you sure? I still feel a little bad, though,” she smiled softly up at him. “I kind of just zone out at times and not realize what I’m doing.” A small smile formed as she nodded. “I can’t really say no to that. Wine is kind of my thing, regardless of the type,” Maggie admitted, a small smirk forming on her face. “It’s nice to meet you, Luke. And thank you. It’s nice of you to do this.”

"I'm sure. Don't feel bad. It's all good." He had told her, smiling. "Sounds great! I like wine too but more the dry kind." Luke had laughed. "But I make an exception for Christmas because it's kind of a part of it." He had added. "It's my pleasure, Maggie." He had said before he had ordered them two glasses of mulled wine and had handed her one. "Here we go."

[thisislucasbecker]

itsdianatorres​:

 Diana shrugged, “Oh, there’s been more than one.” She chuckled in response to him, “I don’t tend to keep track of the bad once, so I would not be able to tell you.” She told him with a light chuckle. “You most certainly have, that is very true.” She nodded back at him. Diana took another sip off her drink, “That is a very good point. Luckily for me, I still love my job, even though it is hectic.” She nodded. “Yeah.. I always try to go out or at least do something fun to enjoy myself.”

"How many?" He had asked curiously. "That's a wise decision. The bad ones aren't worth keeping track and thinking of." Luke had agreed. "That's the most important. If you love it, it's easier to handle. I couldn't do mine otherwise." Lucas had told her. "You deserve it. And it's a great help to balance the stress from work. I do a lot of sports for that but going out works as well."

theanthonywilliams​:

“That is probably a safe bet. Most children love Disney.” Anthony replied with a nod. That had been a fact for years now and he was sure that it would be for years to come as well.  “That is true as well. I supplied a few times in elementary before I got a full time job as a high school teacher, and it was never boring.” 

He had smiled at him because he had been happy he had seemed to have found the right idea. "And it's more timeless. I've loved it as a kid and I still like the musicals and everything. Maybe she'll still like it in a few years." He had explained. "I like kids but I don't know if I could handle a whole class of them every day and all day." He had laughed.
