💑 zayla

💑   /   propose to  or  ask  my  muse  to  be  their  girl / boyfriend .  (  specify  which  . )

Zosia could not determine how long they had been at the festive gathering, although judging by the few not-so-subtle glances of surprise and under-the-table exchanges of cash she’d caught sight of; there had been several bets hinging the two introverts being long gone by now. In fact, if it were purely up to Kayla and Zosia’s wishes they certainly would have retreated to the comfort of their own oasis of home. Alas, it was a petite-sized third party that had thus far been the primary dictator their collective sustained participation in the party. Cordelia. 

Undoubtedly thrilled to follow hot on the heels of the handful of other children present; the young girl’s four-year old legs seemingly limitless in their energy expenditure as she skipped, jumped, and ran about the downstairs playroom. Zosia was in no rush to interrupt the fun company her daughter was so joyfully keeping.

However, inevitably, a reclusive moment of recharge of sorts was necessary. 

Over the course of the party, Zosia had barely left her place flanking Kayla’s side. The variety of their host’s provided drinks, snacks, and food had been imbibed in similar quantities and timing. At the end of hour four, both women were synced in the mellow and languid wavelength they occupied. Bloodstreams and flushed cheeks warmed by the cups of mulled wine, spiced apple cider, and hot cocoa served throughout the evening; being in a room crowded full of people was quickly losing appeal, yet Zosia was unwilling to curfew Cordelia. Not quite yet, at least…

The distant buzz of overlapping conversations that mingled over the light clinking of dessert spoons on porcelain was all but a muffled soundtrack to Zosia and Kayla’s eventual silent agreement to take a solo venture away from the main living room’s busyness and wander towards the sunroom at the back of the house.

Surrounded by panes of alternating glass and screen, a modest array of patio couches and a coffee table had been set up to accommodate houseguests. The room was appealing not only for its pleasantly cool circulation of fresh air, but for the antique Steinway & Sons upright piano Zosia spotted; tucked away in the far corner.

Upon closer inspection, it was an instrument clearly weathered by many one too many seasons spent in the conditions of the sunroom — the mahogany panelling on the side closest to the outside noticeably and rougher than the rest; some of the key notes produced ( discovered after a gentle tapping of Zosia’s curious fingertips ) ringing slightly out of tune; and a few of the higher keys tending to stick a few seconds too long. Nonetheless, Zosia was content to take a seat on the bench poised beneath it. Kayla quietly followed in her footsteps, standing behind her to watch.

The piano’s music rack boasted limited select of Christmas carol music, which Zosia briefly entertained; experimentally playing the opening few  bars to Jingle Bells, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and We Wish You A Merry Christmas before deviating to a tune not found on the sheet paper. A memorized composition, perhaps especially prepared for the occasion.

Kayla noticed the change in direction and concentrated with more intent, trying to place the upbeat and mellifluous melody.

Zosia’s fingers lithely flowed over the piano’s ivory and ebony keys. The unfamiliar apparatus suddenly a continuation of her limbs, emitting sound with ease, each swell romantic and smooth despite the periodically uncooperative keys at her disposal. 

As Zosia completed another round of the same mesmerizing tune, Kayla at last had to ask: “What is that? Are there words?”

Nodding, Zosia returned to the beginning of the song, this time providing the accompaniment of lyrics. Her voice, barely louder than the piano’s music, of a velveteen and soothing timbre:

“Marry me a little, Love me just enough. Warm and sweet and easy, Just the simple stuff. Keep a tender distance, So we’ll both be free.That’s the way it ought to be.I’m ready…Marry me a little, Body, heart, and soul. Passionate as hell But always in control. Want me first and foremost, Keep me company. That’s the way it ought to be. I’m ready…”

Throughout, Zosia’s gaze stayed carefully pinned to the same place it had been since she had initially taken up playing –- averted to watch her hands in motion. She could viscerally feel Kayla’s nearby presence, smouldering just behind her. Part of her wondered what Kayla might look like in that very instant; if she were taking the song at entertaining face value, or paying closer attention to the details. Clearing her throat, Zosia almost missed her cue as she approached the final piece of the bridge:

“O-oh, how gently we’ll talk, Oh, how softly we’ll tread. All the stings,The ugly thingsWe’ll keep unsaid.We’ll build a cocoon Of love and respect. You promise whatever you like, I’ll never collect. Right? Okay, then. I’m ready. I’m ready now…”

Zosia’s foot shifts to press the damper pedal, prolonging the finally struck piano keys until their reverb faded the room back into silence. She kept her eyes closed until it had, straining her ears to try and pick up on the pattern of Kayla’s quiet breathing. Zosia’s own had recently fallen shallow, heart suddenly uncomfortably tight in her chest; too big for her body. Her stomach anxiously churned in protest. “Kayla, would–-” Again, she paused to clear her throat, willfully overcoming the newfound dry sensation of her mouth that made it a struggle to raise her volume above a fragmented whisper. “Would you ever consider it?”

“Zosia…” Kayla rasped, neither confirm or denying the suggestion. Evidently, it was a request that had taken her by surprise.

Still, despite the ambiguity of the response, Zosia found it inexplicably comforting. Even after several years of hearing it uttered in practically every possible rendition, Zosia would always find enjoyment simple solace in the sound of her name spoken so tenderly in Kayla’s voice.

“I—” Kayla swallowed thickly as Zosia turned in her seat towards her, attempting to measure the taller woman’s questioning expression. After a moment, Zosia wordlessly leaned upwards. Kayla automatically mirrored the move with a generous duck of her head, permitting Zosia the ability to bridge their distance with two light kisses pressed to each corner of Kayla’s still slightly parted mouth.

“I would, you know…” Zosia began in a murmur, voice pitched lower than before; tentative yet convicted. A muscle in her jaw worked, a repeated clenching and unclenching, both nervous and cautiously anticipant of the answer she may receive. Daring to keep her face brazenly upturned and emboldened by vulnerability, brown eyes actively searched green for any inkling of a similar desire as she reiterated her point again: “I would… like to.”

Kayla gingerly placed her hands upon Zosia’s shoulders, slowly easing them down across her upper back until they rest just below her shoulder blades.

“Yeah?” Uttered barely above a soft whisper, the comment is all but lost in the affectionate press of Kayla’s lips to the crown of Zosia’s head. “You and I married just a little, hm?” Kayla’s arms remained encircled around her as she spoke, cradling the smaller woman into her chest until Zosia’s cheek lay flush against it. “I’d like that too.”

Zosia struggled to identify if it was her own heartbeat or Kayla’s that she was suddenly vividly cognizant of, rapidly pounding in her ears. Nonetheless, miraculously, she managed to convince her seemingly cottoned voicebox to cooperate with her wish to press onwards, “So…?”

Kayla takes a deep breath, shaking her head. “What?“ 

"Ask me then,” Zosia’s proposal coincided with the suggestive upward quirk of an eyebrow, further underpinned by her impish smile. Expression softened considerably, it was at once warmly, coyly, and with the utmost fondness that she concluded her request: “Properly.”

12 Days of Christmas: Day 2 – Fireplace

Day 2 of my 12 part mini-series based on prompts set by Kari & Ida for their 12 Days of Christmas Challenge

Characters: Dean x Reader, Sam, Jack

W/Count: 327

Warnings: None

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being on the road so close to Christmas was causing everyone's mood to plummet. Y/N was angry at being dragged away from home on a hunt. Sam was getting irritated by the lack of progress in the case, and Dean was grumpy from lack of sleep. Even Jack, who could usually be counted on to bring a happy face to proceedings, was despondent and low-spirited. The only good thing was that Sam had at least managed to find somewhere half-decent to stay in for the duration of the trip. Rather than being crammed into a couple of tiny motel rooms, he had borrowed a cabin from another hunter; with decent beds and a fully-functioning kitchen, it had been impossible to turn down the opportunity to stay in somewhere that at least resembled a proper home. 

As soon as Dean had stopped the car, he and Y/N had jumped out, eager to stretch their legs after the long journey and explore their temporary living quarters. Snatching the keys to the cabin straight from his brother's hand, Dean opened the door dragging their bags along with him. Y/N was right behind him, followed quickly by Jack, both of them keen to get out of the cold. Walking into the main room, Y/N found that all of her attention was drawn to the enormous fireplace that dominated the space. Spying a pile of logs stacked up, she immediately began work on lighting the fire as a plan worked its way through her imagination. Images of hot cider and toasted sandwiches combined with being curled up in Dean's arms flooded her mind Perhaps, Y/N thought to herself, that this trip wasn't going to be as bad as she had first believed. After all, with a roaring fire in front of them, as well as good company and delicious food before tomorrow's hunt, the night that was stretching out in front of them promised to be an oasis of calm and relaxation.

Philadelphia’s Only Pool Club and Dining Oasis Set to Reopen for Summer with Covid 19 Changes added to Google Docs

Philadelphia’s Only Pool Club and Dining Oasis Set to Reopen for Summer with Covid 19 Changes

Glu Hospitality announces the season grand opening of Vesper Dayclub starting this Friday, July 3rd in time for the Independence Day holiday weekend. Philadelphia’s only 21 and up swimming pool and outdoor dining oasis will offer local residents the opportunity to enjoy swimming, outdoor sips and poolside eats without having to leave the city boundaries. For those adults not opting to go to the shore and who are staying close to home, this will bring a brand new option in the city that joins legal cocktails to go and expanded outdoor dining in the city. The 30,000 gallon heated saltwater pool and all of its amenities are located in the heart of Northern Liberties at 1031 Germantown Avenue. Along with Vesper Dayclub, guests and the public are invited to also dine at Philadelphia’s lush secret outdoor garden and cafe with Germantown Garden. Germantown Garden this week doubles their menu for the summer and has added additional outdoor and sidewalk seating due to high demand.

For the upcoming season, Vesper pool and amenities have been deep cleaned at the start of the season, with regular deep cleanings schedule during the summer. New protocols include temperature checks upon entry, a new social distanced floor and table layout, closure of the bars, addition of hand sanitizing stations, a new reservation-only system for dining, and other safety protocols to meet and exceed local and state health recommendations. Masks must be worn to get in the front door upon entry and when guests are moving around or go to the bathroom. Anytime guests are at their own private table they can remove masks to eat and drink. All guests must agree to a temperature check at the front door.

Individual table reservations and ordering at the bars is not allowed per city and state recommendations. Instead, all guests must order through their server. Servers will offer food and drink to all guests in all areas of the pool that include adjacent day beds, private bungalow seating areas, loungers and outdoor tables.

There will be no public club-style parties and no nighttime entertainment. Later in the season, if appropriate there may be background-only music added – but there are no immediate plans of this to start.

Seating will be limited to only 20% occupancy. This is something the owners felt strongly about even though they could do up to 50%. Owners of Vesper felt very strongly about putting safety first.

Reservations to use the pool and dining options are a must for 202. Any paid and current member can make a reservation. Season pass memberships are $35 and includes free weekday entry with your reservations, discounted cover on the weekend, ability to bring guests for a discounted price, 10% off your food bill at Germantown Garden, lowered minimum spends for the bungalows and poolside booths, and other perks. Season pass members pay a $10 cover charge on weekends. Guests with members are $10 per weekdays and $20 per weekend days.

Daybeds, loungers and bungalows are available for reservations, with pricing varying based on reservations and occupancy. Pricing also is different on weekdays, weekends and holidays. Pricing and reservation inquires are available on the website.

Due to the layout of the daybeds, bungalows and loungers, the new layout leaves ample room for social distancing, with the bungalows having full floor to ceiling walls in between each individual space.

“Vesper Dayclub returns for the summer of 2020 with a great, relaxed option for those looking to safely swim and enjoy the sunny days ahead,” said co-owner Derek Gibbons, of Glu Hospitality. “We have spent a lot of time and attention upgrading and adding safety/ health protocols to ensure the health and well being of our staff and our guests. We are focused on offering a laid back and lower key vibe for this year. We are opting for less of a day club party vibe and more of a safe, relaxing and low-key swimming and dining experience. During this global pandemic, Vesper Dayclub is a unique opportunity for those that love the water but are staying local and keeping away from the crowds at the shore. We are a great option for those looking to make the most of their summer in the city.”

For food, Chef Chino Chang will be serving up a full menu of casual bar favorites and light snacks, including a selection of flatbreads (from Vesper’s pizza oven), chicken tenders, guacamole and chips, fruit bowls, parfaits, sliders, hot dogs, hamburgers, and other summer favorites. Look for specials as the summer progresses. For drinks, look for cold beer, frozen and non-frozen summer cocktails, standard bar spirits, cider, adult hard seltzers and more.

Next door, Germantown Garden is also now open for summer of 2020 with a beautiful, lush and hidden garden setting that offers safe and socially distanced dining with shade from the trees overhead. This entirely outdoor restaurant has been at capacity since summer started due to a city-wide focus on outdoor dining in response to the global pandemic. As of this week, Germantown Garden added extra hours, new daytime brunch hours (with brunch menu to follow), added more sidewalk seating and also nearly double the menu of options. Diners can now enjoy seafood entrees for a taste of the shore, burgers, sandwiches, salads, appetizers and small bites, plus options from Glu Hospitality’s Hunnies Crispy Chicken. Starting next week, look for even more food options at Germantown Garden as Glu Hospitality will announce a brand new food concept that will run out of the Vesper and Germantown Garden kitchens. For cocktails, look for pitchers and glasses of summertime favorites, plus cocktails designed specially for the location by the famous Hop Sing of Hop Sing Laundromat.

Ah, indie clubs. The stench of stale snakebite, the roar of ‘The Only One I Know’, the romantic intermingling of mad-for-it Oasis fan and Tranquility Base sophisticate.

‘Sweaty Palms, Distinctions, Guinness And Cocktails’

Literally the stage was set, a make shift stage in the Access To Music live room. It was the week before the Christmas holidays, ‘Enrichment Week’ is what they call it, a week of all the fun stuff if you like, for those that have completed all due assignments etc. The biggest treat was the Christmas showcase from the groups from levels 2 and 3. A 20-25 minute set consisting of covers/originals to be preformed in front of your peers and anyone else you wanted to invite along. As I sat there constantly wiping my sweaty palms on my trousers and feeling like I was gonna throw up it wasn't how I imagined Id feel on my ‘stage debut’ never the less your only here once... right...

I cant remember what songs our set consisted of, I know that they were all covers. The band played well, few sound issues, but tight and the general feedback was positive. I on the other hand had mixed feelings, I felt a immense sense of pride that Id finally ‘done it’ although something was missing, I felt that I could have/should have given more. Criticism is something all musicians have to deal with, and buy all means I can take it. The trouble is I'm my own worst critic, a pessimist who when it comes to his music is far to hard on himself. They say if you don't believe in your art then no one else will. Self Belief is key to creativity... However I still struggle with it every time I take the stage, write lyrics etc.

Regardless I moved on from the performance and looked forward. By this time it was new year 2015, the course moved on and the amount of assignments started to pick up. Being highly organised meant I managed to cope with the pressures of the assignments with ease, the next live performance would take place in March, and it would fall on St Patricks day... which if your British is a great day to drink countless amounts of Guinness and not feel bad about it. We (the college band) rehearsed hard, this gig, again to include all groups was at a local music venue with a bigger stage, lights, sound desk the works.

This time (and I couldn't work out why) we were second to the headliner, the venue ‘The Brickmakers’ is a very special place to me. The time had come, our band was up. I took the stage (again I cant be clear on our set) in that 25-30 minutes I became the person I was meant to be, I took everything from the disastrous first performance and turned it on its head. I jumped all over the place like a mad man, I sold the material, I worked the crowd and gave and took all in equal measure. I became the frontman, the performer... And I loved that guy... as I type this I'm reminded of how I felt that night and how much I miss it now. Our set was done and a nice cold Guinness was well and truly deserved... yep Id performed that entire set without a single drop of alcohol (and contrary to my fellow students belief, nothing illegal in my system). Feedback from the set and my performance was overwhelmingly positive, I think people believed it was out of character... I agree... I didn't no I had it in me... I will never forget St Patricks day 2015.

The next day and nursing a fuzzy head (there was much Guinness consumed and reason to celebrate the prior evening) I walked into Access To Music feeling rather proud of myself and dare I say it... happy... for the first time... well ever. It was strange that day... maybe it was the hangover, but the praise from my fellow students and tutors about the performance became the talk of the corridors. Regardless when the time came to review the performance (live college shows were always recorded and reviewed a few days later) I wouldn't watch it, I know the importance of reviewing with regards to improving, but its something to this day I hate doing, I hate watching/listening to myself... I sat in the corridor with my headphones in whilst the rest of the class watched it back.

The last few months at access once again passed by in quick succession. Before I knew it the final deadline for all work was fast approaching and the end of year party was in the early stages of development. Before all that I took a trip with one of my fellow students, ‘A’ and his family to Spain. A is a top lad that has had to deal with a lot in his life. I don't no why we bonded so much and became such good friends I think its because we are so similar, even now I consider him to be a very good friend, he has one hell of a voice and I know he’ll make it in some way he works hard and never stops pushing for what he wants. We would often joke that if I had his voice or he had my stage presence we would be sitting on a fortune.

10 days in Spain was just what I think we both needed after a pretty non stop year, with regards to assignments and deadlines. Staying ahead of the game and submitting everything on time would pay off because ‘C’ let us go to Spain during the weeks leading up to deadline. Racking up a bill of 200 euros on cocktails, cliff diving and an unfortunate vomit incident with me drinking to much cider made for a pretty memorable trip. On returning to access and with only a few weeks left before the end of term, and the end of the studying year I got my final grades... Distinctions all round, in every piece of work I submitted and distinction grade overall. I was immensely proud of what I had achieved, I believe at a college like Access To Music you really do get out, what you put in... I guess that's also a life lesson if you work hard on something you will reap the rewards.

Little did I know there was one more reward to come, the end of year party and its line up was announced. ‘Touch Of Black’ and yours truly were the only level 2 band added to the line up. The event was to be held at the Iconic ‘Arts Centre’ a venue that has hosted gigs by ‘Nirvana’ ‘Oasis’ and ‘Muse to name a few. Once again cue sweaty palms and the overwhelming sense of nausea, this time it had nothing to do with cider or 200 euros worth of cocktails. The gig and the performance would prove to be the most significant. Contributing factors and people in the audience would set me up for the next year of my life and musical journey.

After school, the elder sisters just hung around outside in the rain. Meanwhile, Archie did the same thing on the front porch.
