“I was hoping,” Oakley said with a sly grin, “that you’d like to go with me to the mainland.” He had decided Aspen was too young to go, and he needed a break from the kid anyways. He’d left her with a good friend of his, and now he was itching for a vacation buddy.

“...Me?” Torrance asked, glancing up at the male with a look of surprise on her features. Sure, her and Oakley casually flirted at work all the time, but it had never really gone anywhere-- mostly, because she couldn’t work up the courage to ask him out. She cleared her throat, straightening up and giving the male a small smile. “Yeah. Sure, why not?”

he does laugh, because he’s amused. this entire situation is laughable and whilst he could very easily walk away, he was all about principles. he’d spent money on a service and he expected said service to be delivered to him. now it hadn’t been, and he had to contend with two self righteous individuals. that really was his luck. he cocks his head to the side and raises his brows as an immediate response“…look, babe, the only people self entitled in this instance is you and her. you know the police don’t arrest people for making people cry, don’t you?” he needed this to lighten up his day. “she got something wrong and i called her out on it, it’s a simple truth, a simple fact and you can call the police, but they’re more likely going to arrest you for wasting their time.” he looks at the phone in her hand and whilst…under any other circumstances that probably would be true, with him being…who he is, it was very likely that they’d pick him up for the mere sake of it. “give me back my money, or get my drink right and maybe, i’ll leave on my own accord. how’s that sound to you?” 

this guy was exactly the type that torrance had grown up being taught to hate. obviously, he thought he ran the place and had no manners when it came to anyone else’s feelings. even if it had been the barista’s fault, in torrance’s eyes, there was a right way and a wrong way to go about that sort of situation. and this guy was doing everything he could to make sure it was handled incorrectly. not only that, but he obviously didn’t take the hint that torrance didn’t appreciate the demeaning pet names-- or he did, and he purposefully did it again, just to get a rise out of her. the whole thing was just disgusting to her. her arms crossed tightly over her chest, torrance took another step closer, squaring her shoulders to show she wasn’t scared of this asshole. “no, but they do arrest people for disturbing the peace, which you obviously are by causing a scene. and i have every right, as manager, to refuse service to anyone i choose...” she looked the male up and down, tilting her chin so they could fully meet eye-to-eye. “and you’re not the kind of customer i want here.” she paused for a moment, staring him down, before backing up and heading to the register. she pressed a few buttons on the machine, and eventually the cash drawer popped open and she took out a few bills and change. “here. four dollars and fifty-eight cents, exactly.” she held the money out. “now leave.”

“Can you like-- stay still?” Torrance asked the person sitting next to her. “Seriously, you’re going to make me seasick.” The brunette wrinkled her nose slightly, glancing over the edge of the ferry before looking back at her seat mate. “What, are you like, scared of water or something?”

“Wait, what? I just got here and they already want to send me back? What, is there something wrong with me or something?” Liesl was taken aback by the mainland excursion going on that weekend, although her reaction was mainly a joke. She didn’t really want to go back–she’d just gotten there and had barely even explored the place.

“You know you don’t have to go if you don’t want to, right?” Torrance gave the girl a good-natured smile. “I’m sure you won’t be the only one staying behind. And if you are-- maybe it could be cool to have the island to yourself?”

It had been a long time coming for Brinley to make her way to Anteros, once she’s gotten enough money saved up it was the first place she wanted to go, she’d missed her best friend, and after he left her life had just gone to shit. Sitting outside a motel she watched people bustle by, she had twenty dollars to her name and she was unsure on what to do next. “Uhm, excuse me, I hate to be a bother, but do you know where I can find this club?” she pointed to a name she had scribbled down on a piece of paper.

Torrance definitely wasn’t in the habit of talking to random strangers, but the blonde who spoke to her looked innocent enough; and besides, she couldn’t stand seeing a female looking so lost. Torrance leaned down and pushed her glasses up onto her head, squinting against the sun to read the scribbled lettering. “Oh yeah. It’s not far from here.” She straightened up a bit, pursing her lips. “Are you looking for a job or something?”

daniella could tell that the other had thought that she was joking, but she really wasn’t. “oh i wasn’t kidding by the way, i genuinely admire you for kicking him out.”

torrance’s brows quirked briefly before she shrugged her shoulders. “oh, well, thanks. i just know there’s usually only one way to deal with idiots like that.”

    “what happened to the customers always right, huh, little missy?” buster asked her then, arms crossing against his chest. he’s amused by her fiesty responses, if anything he’s impressed. it’s rare he got spoken to in such a manner and whilst he might not have been the greatest fan of…police threats, he liked it when somebody challenged his day a little bit. “you think that’s necessary? that – asshat got my drink wrong and then, when i complained about it – refused to change it. are we acting like that’s an acceptable way of treating a customer too? because in my world, it isn’t.” 

okay so-- maybe torrance hadn’t gotten the full story from her barista. all she had seen was the barista close to tears, staring after the man. at that moment, torrance had immediately jumped into action, figuring that the male had been rude when the barista had made his drink wrong on accident. if that wasn’t the case-- well, torrance still couldn’t really back down now. she had already made a big show of taking the barista’s side, even threatening to have the man taken care of, and she couldn’t just shrink back like some pathetic doe-caught-in-headlights. even if she was in the wrong, she would stand her ground. she crossed her arms, tilting her chin up. “yes, i think it’s absolutely necessary. when some entitled man thinks he can just push around an innocent woman and make her cry-- i absolutely think the police should be involved.” at that, torrance reached into her back pocket, pulling out her cellphone and dangling it in between the two. “i’ll give you one more chance to apologize nicely to her-- or to leave of your own accord-- or i’m calling the police. oh, and while you’re at it, you can throw in an apology to me as well. i have a name, and it’s not ‘little missy’.”

daniella watched in awe at how the petite woman had talked to the tall man as she waited for her coffee and when she was next in line, she just let out a small chuckle as she watched the man walk away. “wow, you really showed him, i bet he’s gonna go home and cry to his mommy.”

torrance furrowed her brows a bit, not sure if the girl was being sarcastic or not. finally, she shrugged nonchalantly. “as long as he never steps foot in here again.”

Xander couldn’t help but laugh gently at the woman’s smirk, “I promise I’m not trying to be creep or anything, i’m just celebrating a good day,” he hummed, lifting his hands in defense. He leaned over the bar and ordered them each a drink, winking at the bartender as he moved along the bar before turning back to the woman, “So, who do I have the pleasure of drinking with?”

Torrance arched an eyebrow slightly, a small smirk beginning to form on her lips. “You know...I think the only people that feel like they have to say that they’re not a creep...are probably the ones that are the creepiest.” She chuckled lightly, tilting her head a bit. She was joking, of course-- but maybe not completely. She watched as the male moved further down the bar, giving her just enough time to check her reflection in a nearby mirror. “Torrance.” She responded when he returned back to his seat. “So...care to tell me what we’re celebrating?”

noah sat crouched on the ground, hands scratching the dog’s head as it began licking his face over and over again.. a slight smile spread across his lips, the man loved animals, dogs in particular and when he did get the chance to pet one he took it.. and this one in particular he kinda wanted to take back home with him.. the mans dark hues peered up at the person the dog had showed up with, “Is it yours?”

“actually, i was going to ask you the same thing, considering how much you two seem to like each other.” torrance responded, a slight smile on her lips. she got a bit caught up in watching the male play with the dog, so she had to shake her head a bit to clear her thoughts. “no uh-- actually, i saw him wondering around on my way home from work and just kind of grabbed him up. don’t really know what i was planning on doing with him afterwards.”

Half of Xander’s career had been built on his ability to communicate with others and he did it with ease. Whether it was talking up someone’s ego or talking them out of their clothes, he had always found a way to make a bigger name for himself in the fashion industry. So, when his friends offered him a night out, he didn’t dare think of turning it down. Sure enough, someone already caught his attention and he slid into the stool beside with ease, “I’m Xander,” he said smoothly, “Mind if I buy you a drink?”

Torrance wasn’t a huge partier, but everybody needed a night out once in a while, right? Besides, she liked being social-- when she was in the mood for it. Luckily, she was feeling relatively chipper that night, and the male that approached her was pretty cute anyway, so she didn’t immediately tell him to get lost. She had to smirk a bit at his forcefulness, though. “If you really want to.” She responded with a nonchalant shrug of her shoulders.

Blaine definitely hadn’t expected to see such a scene unfold while he was just trying to get himself a coffee before band practice. He watched the guy ahead of him turn on his heels and grumbled as he walked out of the shop and Blaine raised his eyebrow at the girl “wow, what an ass, right?”.

After a brief pause, Torrance gave the male a wry smile, crossing her arms over her chest as she shrugged. “Trust me, I’ve seen worse.” She moved back behind the counter, grabbing a rag and wiping it over the surface. “But at least someone else sees it, other than just me.” She gave the male another smile, pausing for a moment as she studied him. “Anyway-- what can I get you?”

“okay– listen, dude.” arms crossed firmly, torrance regarded the man in front of her with a cold stare. though he was significantly taller than her, the brunette stared him down with the intensity of someone who was twice her size. “i’m not going to let you talk to me that way… and i’m certainly not going to let you talk to my new barista that way.” she arched an eyebrow slightly, a challenge clear in her eye. “so, you can walk out of my shop now…or i can call the police and have them escort you out. which would you prefer?”

Abigail shook her head. “No. Not unless you want to. But if you have any nieces or nephews or whatever who want to come, feel free to bring them.”

Torrance pursed her lips for a moment. “Nope. Just me here. But I could see if I can find a kid at a park or something.” She took a much-longer-than-needed pause. “Joking.”

[torrancecarter]

cntxros:

Abigail chuckled. “Please,” she said with a hand gesture saying ‘don’t worry about it,’ “With everything else going on that day, they won’t even notice. And if they do, they won’t care.”

She considered it for a moment, then finally shrugged. “Okay, sure. Why not. Do I need to like-- bring fruit snacks or anything?”

“I’m throwing a party for the kids. It’s the end of their school year and we always have a big party, I rent some sort of inflatable waterslide, there’s Capri-Suns for the kids and wine coolers for the adults,” she laughed as she explained it. “Would you like to come?”

“Wow, wish my mom would have thrown parties like that for me when I was younger.” She chuckled, crossing your arms lightly. “But...isn’t it going to be a little weird for your kids to have some random stranger that they doesn’t know at their party?”
