The Wall Flower

[miss-mathy]

[He started the ignition, driving carefully towards the club. Once they got there he got out of the car, not even bothering on greeting the boy who was standing there waiting to park his car. He waiting for Virgil to get out and follow him, leading him through the doors and all the way to the court. He grabbed a ball and started bouncing it] So, any plans for the summer?

[virgilfalkner]

{Virgil watched casually, blinking and thanking the boy softly when he passed him. He followed Kyle curiously and watched him with the ball, his hands going to his pockets} Preparing for university, mostly.

[miss-mathy]

Yeah, I suck at basketball too but it’s still fun to try. 

So, get the car, we can go to the club. 

[virgilfalkner]

I guess.

{He nodded, opening up the passenger's door and getting in}

[miss-mathy]

Kyle. 

Nice to meet you, man. Wanna go shoot some hoops or something?

[virgilfalkner]

I can try...?

I'm not great at sports.

[miss-mathy]

Well, I talk a lot, so there won’t be any awkward silences around here. 

[virgilfalkner]

That's good. I'm Virgil.

[miss-mathy]

You.. Don’t talk much, do you?

[virgilfalkner]

[miss-mathy]

To be honest I’m not even sure I want to understand. I just want to, uh, forget it and move on.

[virgilfalkner]

That's probably good.

[miss-mathy]

It just doesn’t make sense to me, man.

[virgilfalkner]

It... {He sighed, then took a deep breath} It's hard to explain.

[miss-mathy]

Why is it that the ones who hurt you the most are the ones who your trusted the most?

[virgilfalkner]

I think so, yes...

At least you don’t hold him like he had some sort of disease, I’ve seen that too many times to count. Looking away from the baby back towards Virgil, Georgia raised a playful brow at him. Why are you babysitting?

Well…they’re not really my siblings, but my cousins. I just consider them my siblings, sometimes I consider them my own kids. She laughed slightly at that, eyebrows furrowing slightly as she began to bounce the young boy on her leg. The baby reached out to play with the straw wrapper on the table. There’s 6 of them. 

[virgilfalkner]

"He's fine though...." Virgil said in confusion, but then shrugged at the question again. "She and her boyfriend wanted a night out. Their babysitter was busy... I offered. I didn't know there wasn't any food in the house though."

"Oh, wow... that's a lot of kids. Must've been hard." Virgil said softly, watching and not able to stop the smile that kept forming onto his face.

[georgiapeach-xo-deactivated2014]

Letting out a light laugh, Georgia winced as the baby tugged on her hair, lighting grabbing the smaller ones hand to allow him to pull on her fingers instead. You must be knew to this whole babysitting thing I’m assuming.

Eight months. She breathed happily, looking back towards the baby. And only going to get better. I remember when my siblings were this young. Seems like only yesterday. 

[virgilfalkner]

Virgil chuckled as he watched, nodding a little bit and giving her another smile. He nodded at the sort of question thing, taking another sip of the water. He was the youngest in his family until his cousin had Jacob, so  he'd never had to babysit before.

"How many siblings do you have?"

[georgiapeach-xo-deactivated2014]

Virgil Falkner. Humming in the back of her throat, Georgia nodded, mentally filing the name away. What brings you to Isle House, Virgil Falkner?

Face lighting up at the sight of the baby reaching out to her, Georgia let out a happy sound from the back of her throat, grasping the baby lightly and lifting him into the air with ease. Aren’t you a happy boy? Look at that smile! Bringing the baby down to her side, she looked back towards Virgil, though still allowed the baby to play with her hair. How old is he?

[virgilfalkner]

I'm hungry... and there's no food in my house, and I felt better taking him to a restaurant than a grocery store...

{Virgil couldn't help but feel the huge smile form on his face as he watched the baby with Georgia. Jacob liked Virgil and all, but he was pretty sure that all babies preferred women to men anyway} Eight months... I think.

[georgiapeach-xo-deactivated2014]

Tilting her head to watch him some more, after a few moments, Georgia’s smirk finally fell into something akin to a soft smile. She reached out her had. Georgia Washington, waitress at Isle House. 

You babysitting? Can I see him? She then held out her other hand, motioning for her to hold the baby. Even though she was bitching earlier, Georgia always liked babies. It came with having to raise her siblings. 

[virgilfalkner]

{Virgil shook her hand, nodding} Virgil Falkner. {He didn't have a job... not yet, anyway}

{He nodded at the questions, holding out the baby boy who happily reached for her} 

[georgiapeach-xo-deactivated2014]

Watching Virgil watch her, Georgia let out a small chuckle, raising an eyebrow. God, it was a joke, I’m not really going to bite you. You’re like a deer, calm down Bambi, all is well.

[virgilfalkner]

But-- you--

Okay.

[georgiapeach-xo-deactivated2014]

At his surprised face, Georgia let out a snort of amusement, raising an eyebrow. Cousin’s got it. Chill handsome, I’m not going to bite you.

With a tilt of her head, Georgia bit her lip, giving Virgil a good look over before smirking. Well, unless you want me to, of course.

Snapping her notepad shut, Georgia nodded. Water it is. Going back towards the kitchen, she grabbed a glass, filling it with eyes before putting it under the water spout. Not seconds later she grabbed it when it was full, walking back out towards the dining room and setting it down in front of Virgil. She then slid into the booth across from him. Here’s your water. 

[virgilfalkner]

{Virgil's face reddened and he simply shook his head, forcing a smile and watching as the baby started playing with his face}

{He watched her come back with his water, simply blinking as she sat down across from him} Thank you... {He said slowly, reaching for the water to take a sip from it}

[georgiapeach-xo-deactivated2014]

Flipping open her notepad as she walked up to the table, Georgia let out a huff. Jesus, what the fuck is it, Single Dad’s Day? I can’t get rid of you guys. Word of advice, try to hit on me, and I’ll spit in your food.

Now that that’s aside. Looking up from the notepad, Georgia gave Virgil a smile. What can I get you to drink?

[virgilfalkner]

{Virgil's eyes visibly widened and he shook his head several times} He's my cousin's... n-not mine...

Water please.

[dancing-stolzenberg]

Is that your baby?

[virgilfalkner]

He's my cousin's.

[ronnie--harper]

New york was shit.

No surprise there.

[virgilfalkner]

What happened?
