cam is all but ready to introduce himself when he is rudely interrupted by his coworker. he rolls his eyes at her - it's what she deserves for disrupting his only chance at flow today - and then obediently pushes away from the counter he'd been leaning against to give jiya space to tend to who was now not only his but their customer. his hand finds the small of jiya's back - he's never been one to go down without at least some resemblance of a fight - and he leans in with a look of feigned seriousness as if what he's about to say next is of utmost importance. "jealous," he notes, looks at her with a small pout, and then drops his hand - resumes innocence and sips his coffee while stepping towards the register.

the night at the diner was slower than a turtle in molasses and jiya was stuck working the cash register. her bubble that she'd been blowing popped against her nose as she leaned against the counter, eyes watching the crowd of maybe ten patrons in the diner. all were either elderly people that were daily customers or a family stopping through on their way to the big city. fingernails tap the metal of the register as she wait for someone to come pay, eyes wandering to her coworker, cam, who is pouring coffee to someone who walked in roughly ten minutes prior. he seemed to be flirting with the forty-something year old woman; his actions making jiya only laugh softly to herself as she made her way over with her notepad. ' is he bothering you ? i can get you anything you want. ' her new delhi accent was still thick even though she hadn't lived there in a few years. ' i got this one, cam. go work the register. '

"hi," comes the reply, a smile to go with the nonchalant greeting tugging at the corners of his lips. he's unbothered by the notion of him inviting himself to her company, as usual - and the general response he gets is unsurprising. it's not unusual. yet, he welcomes it. it looks like he might not succumb to boredom, after all. a feigned thoughtfulness colours his expression as he pretends to consider her words, how he might have gotten too ahead of himself even though her general response proves to him that he has not. "i'm glad we're in agreement that i'm exciting," he then says, taking yet another sip of his coffee before setting the cup down onto the counter. he sets his elbow down on the counter and rests his chin on his hand, gaze briefly dropping to the aforementioned drawing before finding her's again. "what're you drawing?"

november had always been a relatively quiet month. not many people spent a great deal of money during said month, opting to save their cash for the following month. christmas was fast approaching and people needed to budget for it... in turn making november quiet for people like herself. people who relied on others spending their money without much thought. valentina did however know that the month of december would bring plenty of clients her way. she was sat, sketching up her latest masterpiece when she noticed the other. val's brows cocked in interest at the sight of him winking. " well, hello there. " she chuckled as she cocked her head slightly. " didn't realise me getting a coffee was an invitation for you to join me... though i suppose i can't say i mind the view all that much. " valentina all but purred at him. " your company is more exciting than sitting drawing. " @cfstyle

WHO : cam & open ( @30sextra ) WHERE : monroe's diner
cam  leans  his  weight  on  his  hand  placed  atop  the  counter,  as  the  other  half  heartedly  reaches  for  a  pot  of  coffee  to  be  poured  into  a  nearly  empty  mug  in  front  of  one  of  very  few  customers.  it’s  not  a  busy  day  -  it  is  the  exact  opposite.  he  is  bored.  he  is  all  but  ready  to  go  home  early,  and  he  would  have  already,  were  it  not  for  the  fact  that  he  so  desperately  needs  the  money.  he’s  been  here,  what,  six  months?  and  the  fact  feels  like  failure.  he  holds  onto  hope  that  each  hour  spent  in  this  place,  serving  scolding  hot  coffee  and  burnt  scrambled  eggs  to  unsuspecting  victims,  brings  him  closer  to  something  else.  an  apartment  of  his  own,  maybe.  it’s  not  that  he  doesn’t  like  being  around  his  brother  -  but  growing  up  on  a  farm  has  him  quite  accustomed  to  having  space.  now  he  doesn’t,  crammed  into  a  small  apartment  with  two  other  people.  dark  liquid  spills  into  the  cup,  this  offered  along  with  a  friendly  wink  and  a  hint  of  a  smirk. he reaches behind him for a cup of his own, fills this one up as well - having decided that he needs something to keep him alive for the last couple of hours of his shift. he sets the coffee pot down, brings his cup to his lips and fixes his gaze on the customer sat on the opposite side of the counter. looks at them expectantly - wordlessly waiting for them to entertain him now that their coffee break has turned into a date. he arches an eyebrow and takes a sip.

I burn, I freeze; I am never warm. I am rigid; I forgot softness because it did not serve me.

( work in progress )
cam grew  up  in  scotland,  on  a  farm  in  the  highlands  where  chores  were  never  ending.  the  home  environment  was  always  quite  toxic,  and  as  a  result  cam  always  relied  on  his  brothers  for  support  where  his  parents  had  none  to  give  
ended  up  leaving  his  home  along  with  one  of  his  brothers,  stole  money  from  their  parents  and  never  looked  back.  they  travelled  for  as  long  as  money  lasted,  and  now  they’ve  settled  in  lakeview  -  cam  got  a  job  at  a  diner  and  often  tries  to  flirt  his  way  into  bigger  tips. he has zero work ethic but desperately needs the job
currently  lives  with  his  brother  in  a  cheap  and  cramped  apartment  and  another  roomie,  has  barely  enough  money  to  get  by,  yet  still  prefers  this  to  life  at  home
wanted connections.
something based on i can see you by taylor swift?? please?? actually on my knees begging
that one unlucky person who is burdened with sharing an apartment with cam and his brother
a bestie. please. thanks.
someone he hates also. thanks.
someone he borrows money from ( sorry to this muse )
