"There is a way to bring personality into the space and make it fun, but their demeanor makes it feel like I'm being force-fed disgusting baby food." Their tone was weirdly enthusiastic, but condescending at the same time. It was rather strange, and Fia would make sure that if she were to ever take a class again, this instructor would not be leading it. "I'm Sofia, by the way. Most people call me Fia, though," she said, extending a hand to the other.

"That is definitely what I was thinking," she agreed with the other smiling. She continued to sip her wine instead of painting whatever the hell they were supposed too, she gave up after the instructor said to blend the pretty colors on canvas. "I think she's trying to be like Bob Ross."

"The town's divorcee club? What does that entail?" Fia was curious about the conversations that transpired amongst the members of this grouping. Although it was bittersweet, Fia knew it was the best outcome for her and Chase. She would always have a love for the man, but life and circumstances of her own doing had gotten in the way of something that once seemed promising. "Uh yeah, my dad," she said with a small nod. "He and his partner Emilio are throwing a whole shindig. There's a bridal party and everything so I'd be happy to pass on your info to them. How long have you been a makeup artist?"
Tumblr media
She's used to rejection by now, but that doesn't mean such a curt dismissal doesn't still sting from time to time. In fact, Chelsea is already ruffling her feathers and preparing to say something in defense of her business when the woman's next words catch her off guard, providing a clarification that suddenly justifies everything that'd come before. "Sorry t'hear it— we'll have you with open arms when you decide to join the town's divorcee club. There's more of us than you'd expect." And it's strangely comforting, knowing that she's not the only one to have erred recently. "Malibu, huh? Who's getting hitched — you said your dad?"

"Okay... I know there are client confidentiality clauses and all, but did I hear correctly that Sabrina Lewis is having her husband investigated?" Her friend had blown up her phone, sharing that this notable housewife in Orange County was causing a lot of ruckus recently out of spite for her husband's actions. "It's tax evasion, isn't it? He seems the type," she chuckled.

"Hey, just the person I'm looking for you," she smiled as she walked up to Angel. A friend of Fia's wanted to fundraise for a local wildlife conservation center and came up with the idea of doing so via calendars. Fia was tasked with finding individuals from all walks of life to partake in the photoshoot. It would make a great gag gift just in time for the holidays. "How would you like to be the month of July in a fundraiser calendar?"

"Cheers," she chuckled before taking a swig from her Corona. Another week in the books, and they were practically halfway through another year. It was truly surreal, but Fia was delighted by her progress. She had managed her clients above expectations, launched the jewelry line, and brought a nice closure to her relationship with Chase. Now, she was focused on herself and leveling up as much as she could. "Alright, high and low of the week...go!"

"Okay, so what do we think about this location?" Fia had been asked to help with rebranding an Olympic swimmer by a colleague, as she seemed to have a skilled and creative eye. Enlisting the help of Finn was a must, considering her original photographer had bailed last minute. The athlete was on their way up and an hour out from town. Scrambling last minute was annoying as hell, but she was thankful for the help. "It's not too overcast, is it?"

"Should I go all in?" Sofia chuckled as she looked at Athena for suggestions. She had been winning a lot and was happy that her fake money was lasting for so long. She was also happy to support the fire and rescue division. If there was anything she learned in a short amount of time living in California was that the wildfires were unforgiving and unruly. "I think this will be my last roll before I lose it all." Sofia had gathered a small crowd. Luck had always been on her side and it seemed to be with her tonight. "I'm calling it...snake eyes."

"I can't thank you enough, Alara. You deserve this," she said with a chuckle, offering a piece of champagne cake. One of her clients had recently gotten engaged and chose a hotel in Aurora Bay to celebrate the occasion. Unfortunately, the bride-to-be's dress was too tight. With her friend Alara on speed dial, she was able to save the day. Alara worked her magic and made Onya's dress fit her body perfectly. "I wonder how many other fires like this you've been able to put out," she said curiously.

"And she was like 'I could never' and then he apparently ripped his shirt off and he was like 'Are you sure?'" The story was about one of her friends in Los Angeles hooking up with an international soccer player at a wedding. "Five minutes later she was in bed with the man. I told her she should be in a soap opera," she chuckled.
Fia was happy to be back in Aurora Bay, where the pace of life was slower and more peaceful compared to the bustling energy of Los Angeles. "Anyways..." she said popping up from her previous lounging position, "How are you babe? How was your first Mother's Day?" Fia had caught a flight over the weekend to celebrate her abuela in Boca Raton. However, before her departure Friday morning, the agent made sure her order of flowers and gift (tea kettle set with dishware) arrived for Sloane.

"I gave up trying to mimic the Northern Lights when she started moving too fast," Fia chuckled. She decided to follow her own inspiration instead. "I prefer rosé and prosecco," she said. Sofia also enjoyed sweet wine, especially Moscato on certain occasions. However, the experience was too stressful for her to enjoy the wine. "They give off the vibe of a failed high school artist who is at the peak of their character arc."

      “I don’t know how I feel about this wine–actually I haven’t even started on my painting.” Alice stared at the blank canvas that she agreed to go to paint night just to get out of the office and her home. Turning her gaze to the other before leaning over and whispering, “I think Ms. Artist over there is on something. Oh she's looking this way."

"I must admit, you are truly amazing. After that performance, I don't think anyone could contest that you are our next American Idol," she said, applauding as Freya returned to her seat. "As for me, my niche is in sports management. I prefer to stay behind the scenes and will continue to do so in this moment." Freya had everything under control and didn't need Souza to join her on stage. "What song would you choose to sing next?"

"I killed that shit. I'm the karaoke champion." Freya said proudly, but she indeed did not kill anything but possibly a few ear drums. "And no thanks to you, I had to sing both Sandy and Danny's part." As she sat down at the table, Freya took a sip of her soda before speaking again. "You'll go up there with me next time, right?"

"Uh, no. I'm not interested," she said, taking the business card, looking it over before placing it in her pocket. "I just sent divorce papers to my lawyer the other day. However, my father might be interested." Davi Souza had recently returned to Los Angeles, and her father's health had improved. She had eloped with her long-term partner Emilio, and they were planning a full wedding in the fall. The card might come in handy for the wedding. "If you're available for a Malibu beach wedding in September, you might have some business though."

It's not like she needs the extra clients... summer coming around has more and more blondes filing into the salon each day, begging for beachy highlights and sun-kissed bayalages, but Chelsea's rarely satisfied unless her schedule is overbooked. Turning to the person nearest to her, she extends a sleek business card with her contact information and the words 'bridal makeup artist' with a raise of a groomed eyebrow. "Say, you wouldn't happen to be getting married anytime soon, would you?"

"Well, considering I went with the salad and fries, and I don't have five stomachs like someone I know, I don't have to worry all too much about that." This conversation was much-needed, and Fia is happy that they both can leave the table in a better place than when they arrived. "So, tell me, what is the great Chase Williams going to do next?"

where: you pick!! @aurorabaystarter
"The best part of eating out is the fact you can box up what's left to eat it later." Chase picks up the bowl to start dishing it into the to-go box, pausing when a few pieces fall onto the floor instead. "Oh shit, well... Tell me you had better luck than me."
