July 14th and 15th, 2023 | My motivation to work wore out by the end of the week, but oh well. I've been a strong independant woman and went climbing by myself instead. Today, decided to rediscover Brussels and went to KBR museum (dedicated to manuscripts), first time I've been there for something else than working :) It's so nice to be back in Brussels!

Second Chances - Part 10

On the 5th day, after seeing you on Halloween, Bill sends orchids to the office. In his bold scrawl, "I waited until Day 5." This time around, you don't call to thank him. You don't want to get sucked into Billy's mind games. You do however, catch yourself staring off dreamily at the flowers throughout the day, so you move it to the lobby area. You can't afford to get sidetracked by him again.

The following day you're returning from a meeting and you find a familiar figure leaning on the receptionist desk. Fuck. You know those broad shoulders & perfect hair anywhere. "Mr. Russo?"

He turns around with a smile that makes you blush, "Exactly the woman I wanted to see." He walks over to you & hands you a cup & whispers in your ear, "G'morning, Kitten." Nods at the flowers, "Weren't to your liking?"

You ingore him & walk to your office. He follows. "Anthony misses you. Wanted me to tell you 'hi'."

"Who?"

Billy holds up his cup & sips it, "Anthony. Your hot chocolate guy."

You take a sip and smile. "You went to Central Park to bring me hot chocolate?"

"Tony & I are friends now. He said he hasn't seen you in a month. You stopped running?"

"I go somewhere else now." You stopped going to Central Park, because you didn't want to run into Bill. You switched to runs along the Hudson. "What are you doing, Bill? What do you want?"

The teasing smile drops from his face. "You know what I want."

"I can't be friends with you."

"I don't want to be friend...," shuts his eyes & tries to control his frustration. "I want you as a friend, but I want more, too."

"No."

"What do you mean, no?"

"The only reason you're here is because you're...i don't know...bored? Your other women not making it challenging enough for you? I'm not playing this game with you."

"You aren't a game, Y/N."

"Bullshit! The only reason you wanted me was because I didn't immediately fall to my knees for you. Once you had me," you huff out a breath, "game over. On to the next conquest."

"It wasn't like that."

"What do you want from me? Lay it out for me, Billy. You want to go back to how things were? To throw me back into your rotation? Just down to fuck when you are? Mouth shut, legs open?"

Bill slams his palm against your desk, "Enough!!" You flinch & freeze in place, staring at Bill. "Look, i'm sorry. I didn't come here to upset you and start a fight."

"We had our chance and it didn't work. I wanted more & you walked out the door without a single word to me."

Running his finger through his hair, "Sweetheart, give me a second chance. "

Folding your arms across your chest, protecting yourself from the draw you have to Billy. "I don't trust you anymore."

"I don't know how to earn your trust back if you don't give me a second chance."

"And here we are." Clears your throat & straightens your posture. "You need to go. I have another client coming in."

Bill's angry but know better than to say anything now & calmly leaves.

****

With the holidays coming up, there are more parties that you need to attend for work. Candice is better at socializing at these events, but you have to do your part. The part you like about these things is that it gives you an excuse to get dressed up & have someone else do hair and makeup for you. Your self-esteem has been low after fighting with Bill so you splurged on a new gown and you'll make the most of this night out. You're attending an annual fundraiser for Mount Sinai's Children Hospital.

Later that evening you are thankful you splurged because Bill shows up at the same function. He surprises you at the bar, "Kitten."

You try to cover your surprise with snark, "Don't call me that."

"Who's the guy?" Billy glares at your date.

"That's none of your business."

"Anything that concerns you, is my business."

"Since when? You're able to fuck around but I can't?"

Hisses, "Are you fucking him?" Jealousy is not a common emotion for Billy. You roll your eyes and walk away from him towards your date, Garrett, who's a Emergency Pediatrician.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine."

"Then who's the guy who looks ready to kill me?"

"Bill and I are complicated. I didn't expect him to be here."

"Are you sure you're ok?"

Forces a smile, "absolutely."

The evening goes smoothly, but you feel Bill's eyes are on you. Try as you might, you can't help but do the same. He's on the phone & he catches you watching him & he narrows his eyes at you. He puts his phone back in his pocket & with a predatory smirk, he approaches you and Garrett.

"Kitten." Extending his hand to Garrett, "Hi, Bill Russo. I've heard a lot of good things about the work you do with the children at Mount Sinai. It must be very rewarding.

Shakes his hand, "Thanks, Garrett Watson. It is. I appreciate you coming out to support & contribute to tonight's event."

"Yea, of course. May I borrow your date for a minute, Dr. Watson?" Billy turns his smirk towards you, "A word, Y/N" Billy takes your hand and escorts you outside the ballroom. "Dr. Watson. Candice's brother?" You smile. "Are you seeing him?"

"How did you know he's Candice's brother?"

"I took his picture & sent it to my guys. Facial recognition & a background check."

"Are you serious?! Billy! You can't do that." Unbelievable!  

"Are you seeing him?"

"No, but even if I was, it's still none of your business."

Grabs your jaw and brushes his thumb against your lower lip, "And I told you that anything that concerns you is my business." Changes the subject, "Did I tell you, you look absolutely stunning tonight?" You frown at him & shake off his hand. "What? This is what i do."

"You're borderline creepy now."

Billy laughs. "I want a second chance. If I have to get dirt on my competition, I will."

"You are impossible."

"So, about that second chance." He feels you draw away from him. Your emotional walls are back in place. "Look, I don't take asking this lightly. I'm sorry I hurt you."

Brushes him off, "I didn't know what I was getting into, but you were upfront with me from the very beginning."

"I've missed you, Y/N. I want you back. I had to figure out what I wanted first. I was brought up believing that relationships made you weak. They were a liability. You were never a game to me." Billy nervously licks his lips. You've never seen him like this. "You asked me if I ever felt I wasn't enough." Slowly nods. "Why do you think I bust my ass everyday? Special Forces. Anvil's success. I told you I was brought up in the System. Raised in group homes. My meth-head mother dumped me at a Fire Station. She loved her drugs and her dealers more than her kid. So, I'd say I wasn't enough if your own mother doesn't want you."

Breathes out, "Bill."

"I'm sorry I hurt you, Y/N. For making you feel that you weren't enough," Bill trails off. "I don't think i have the words to make up for that. No...no number of 'I'm sorry' will do it. You are more than enough," clears his throat. "I'd never want to be the person to make you feel that you were lacking in any type of way. You're smart, brave, strong, beautiful, kind..." Billy takes your hand in his and plays with your fingers. "I never did relationships, and I know I'll piss you off again," he looks up and gives you a crooked smile. "But I'll get this right. I promise. In the end, I succeed in everything I set my mind to. I set my mind to making you happy, and I will. I just need a second chance."

You throw your arms around his neck and Billy lifts you in a hug. He kissed you slowly at first, his tongue tracing your lips before seeking its way inside. He deepens the kiss, explorong your mouth making you moan. He pulls back scrapping his teeth against your bottom lip. "Do we get our fresh start?"

You whisper "yes" & hold him tight.

**If she desides to give you a second chance, it's usually not because you deserve it; but rather because she still believes in you and the idea that love, if given the chance will somehow prevail in the end~~A. Soul**

thoughts on lunnelly trilogy?

so i'm currently reading Nobody Like Us and i'm not sure i'm liking it... i fear i've grown out of this series (i hope not bc they've been my favs for YEARS)

but i just feel like i'm getting tired of KBR's style/writing. the second-hand embarrassment scenes are just too much for me at this point.

unlucky like us spoilers ahead!!

maybe it's just the amnesia plot. i hate it so much. also was not into the kidnapping thing, this is not a freaking mafia romance. i also have to admit i don't like the alien stuff... *gun shots*

but i'm just 10% through NLU, i'll keep you guys updated.

Résurrection... ou de Bruxelles à Paris et ailleurs...

Paris (impressionism. Musée d'Orsay) and Brussels (Ensor, surrealism, Folon, Rodin) are the places to be, to visit. Great exhibitions, lovely walks - I rediscovered Brussels, and loved it.

Top English summary : click here Il arrive qu’on soit trop absorbé par la (fin de) vie des autres pour pouvoir penser à autre chose ; et il nous arrive aussi d’être abattus nous-mêmes par la maladie. Paf! La hache tombe, et toute activité s’arrête, qu’on le veuille ou non. Heureusement, Pâques est la fête de la résurrection et petit petit, la vie reprend… Pour cette raison, vous trouverez…

Second Chances -Part 1

Fall being just around the corner, the Manhattan evening air is chill & crisp. A refreshing change from the crush of bodies inside the party. Escaping outside to the rooftop terrace, you seek a little bit of quiet. Your business partner is so much better than you at these types of events. You cringe as you hear the door open & the commotion from the party intrudes on your moment of peace.

You caught Billy Russo's attention the moment you stepped into the room. Not overly made up like most of the women there, Bill found you beautiful. Not loud & vying to be the center of attention. Quite the opposite, sticking to small groups along the perimeter of the room, slowly making your way out to the Terrace. Bill follows you.

"Sorry, didn't mean to intrude." Nodding to the party, "A lot's going on in there."

"It's a bit much."

Bill gives you his movie star smile & holds out his hand, "Bill. Bill Russo."

His large warm hand engulfs your chilled one, "Y/N."

"May I?" Bill shrugs his shoulder out of his jacket and drapes it around you, "It's cold out here." You protest and try to return his jacket, but Bill won't hear of it. "I insist," holding the lapels together, trapping you in his warmth & the smell of expensive woodsy amber cologne. Bill leans on the railing next to you, "You here with anyone? Do I need to be worried about a jealous husband? Boyfriend?"

You shake your head, "This is a business function." You're getting uneasy having Bill this close, the sole focus of his attention. The city is full of handsome men, but none have affected you the way Russo has.

"Oh, yeah? What do you do?" Bill brushes back a strand of hair behind your ear.

Nervously clears your throat, "I'm an event planner."

"So, like weddings, birthdays & baby showers?"

Annoyed that he would assume that, that's the scope of your business. "That and conventions, expos, fundraisers, premiere parties...And what exactly do you do, Mr Russo?"

"I'm in private security."

"So, like a mall cop?" Bill chuckles and you smirk. You try to retain your annoyance but seeing him smile & laugh gave you a thrill you hadn't expected.

"Touche. I deserved that. No, I own Anvil. We provide military & security services."

"I'm impressed. Wait. Anvil? I think I'm still waiting on a call-back from your people."

"What?"

"Yes! For some of my higher profile events. I was looking into contract security. Someone able to coordinate with Secret Service or my clients personal security. Anvil has kept me waiting, Mr Russo."

Bill straightens up and leans close to your ear, "You want to get outta here, Y/N? Go somewhere quieter to talk? Maybe dinner? These events never have decent food." Steps back quickly, "This isn't one of your events, is it?"

"No, it's not." Wrinkling your nose, "You're right the food isn't good here. I'm starving."

"Shall we?" You return his jacket to him & he guides you out with his hand resting at the small of your back.

As much as you dreaded this evening, it suddenly looked a lot more promising.

being best friends with daisy calloway ♡

authors note: i’m aware that only one (1) person in the entirety of tumblr wants this but i Also want it so enjoy my favorite sunshine girlie (sorry this is a bit short!)

request: haii ik requests r closed so no pressure what so ever but maybe hcs for being besties w daisy calloway?? much much much love🫶🫶

what would it be like being besties with daisy calloway !?

only willow hale really knows

this only my biggest dream ever

my girl is the most sincere person on this planet

a friendship with her includes lots of chocolate cake of course

the two of you have a monthly tradition of trying out different shops in philly

daisy will call ahead, of course, and shut down the entire restaurant just for the two of you

and it’d an entire night of sweets, leaving the two of you in a borderline delirious sugar state

being best friends with daisy would include SO many sleepovers

idk i feel like since daisy never really had a positive experience with friends growing up she would just Really want this classic cliche experience

and daisy calloway doesn’t do anything half way so these sleepovers are another level of iconic

i’m talking all the snacks, especially your favorite ones

pillow forts

every single rom com to ever exist

face masks

slippers that she had rose especially design for occasions like this one

neither of you would fall asleep until like five am after binge watching stranger things

she would also totally be the type to teach you how to ride a motorcycle for the first time, the same way ryke taught her

you and ryke would also be bffs

he’s told you multiple times just how happy he is that daisy has someone like you in her life

the three of you have a sort of weekly brunch thing going

you and ryke are the only ones who indulge daisy’s “i have a theory” game anyways

basically: daisy is the greatest best friend in the entire world
