#or if I'm feeling fancy I'll do a 3 with a dot on the top and a dot on the bottom

[familyvideostevie]

33 with Steve? Please👉🏻👈🏻

your wish is my command baby <3

soft kisses while cuddling in bed __ "Steeeeeeeeve," you whine. "Steve, hurry up." Your face is smushed into the pillow and you yawn.

"Woah, come on now." You turn away from the bed and find him standing in the bathroom doorway, sleep pants low on his hips and a piece of floss dangling from his mouth. His glasses are a little askew as he rubs a hand over his bare belly. "Can't rush a man and his dental hygiene."

You scoff and stretch like a cat as he returns to the sink to finish up. Sunday nights usually go like this in your apartment -- homecooked dinner and a movie or a quiet night on the couch followed by brushing your teeth together and Steve trying his best to get you to floss. He rarely succeeds.

"I'm lonely over here!" The bathroom light flicks off and Steve's chuckles trail behind him as he pads into the hallway for his nightly lock check. He turns off any errant lights as he goes until he finally shuts your bedroom door behind him. He stands at the end of the bed and his gaze is so fond you squirm.

"Look at you," he says like this isn't what he sees every single night. "Alright, move over." Steve sets his glasses on his bedside table and turns off the lamp, plunging the room into near-darkness. The moonlight casts shadows on the ceiling. He gets into bed next to you and you're on him immediately.

You shift so your head rests on his chest, one arm coming around you and under your shirt as your legs tangle. His other hand grabs yours, playing with your fingers. You both sigh, tension melting away, replaced with absolute contentment.

This is your favorite part of every Sunday, of every night of your life since you moved in together: holding each other.

"Dinner with Robin tomorrow," Steve says softly. "Gotta meet her new girlfriend."

"Mhm," you yawn. "Where are we going, again?"

"Somewhere kinda fancy, I think. She told me no jeans."

"Remind me and I'll press your slacks after work."

"I can do it 'cause I'm off early tomorrow. Lay out what you wanna wear and I'll do that too." You nod into his chest, cheek scraping against the thatch of hair there.

"We need more eggs," you whisper. "So we can do Lucas's birthday cake next weekend."

Steve doesn't say anything. His hand presses into your lower back, palm warm on your skin. You can feel his every breath, rising and falling with him.

"C'mere," he finally says. You lazily shift off of him and he turns so that you're face to face. Your eyes have adjusted to the dark by now and you can see him fairly clearly -- soft eyes, full lips, hair flopped over his forehead. You reach out to push it away and he catches your hand, pressing a kiss to your wrist. Your heart flutters.

"I love life with you," he says out of nowhere. "Talking about eggs and dinner plans and silly shit in bed." He looks like he's trying to find more words but can't. He settles on something simple: "I love you. You know that?"

You feel impossibly warm, unbearable tenderness for this boy and this little existence you've carved for yourselves. You scoot forward to kiss him softly, sweetly, the hand he's holding pulling back to cup his jaw.

"I know, Steve," you say, peppering kisses at the corners of his mouth, on his cheeks, his nose. "You tell me all the time."

"Yeah, well," he mutters and you know he's blushing. You kiss him again and again and again.

"And I love you," you add. "Even if you keep trying to get me to floss."

He yawns in your face. You laugh before gently pushing on his shoulder. "Turn over. You're little spoon tonight, pretty boy." He obeys, dragging your arm with him so it rests on his soft stomach as you press against his back, dotting kisses at the top of his spine.

"Sweet dreams," he mumbles. You smile into his skin. As if anything your mind could conjure up will be sweeter than what you get to wake to tomorrow.

[loudestcloud]

After a long brake from this saga, it returns for her birthday! However, I should start this by saying the obvious fact that I don't like they way Nami and women in general are drawn, I really wish the mangaka had a middle ground between the 'If I sneeze I'll snap in half sexy girls' and the 'i will crush you in my fat rolls ugly girls' types but here we are and this is what we've got. As a result, most of my connects would usual be how I wish she her skirts would be longer n such but I'm not gonna do that because I don't want it to get in the way of the actual content in the post. Let's go: NAMI!!

'First appearance': it's not the first at all, idk what to call it tho, it's her 3rd. it's just the one in We are so technically counts. It's probably the nostalgia, but I love this look. I can't place why but I'm not even mad at the weird stripe lengths design, it's just cute to me. The sleeves are short but long enough to hide her tattoo and I adore her skirt too like the dark orange parts remind me of blood oranges!

Baratie, Loguetown, Little Garden, first Arabasta outfit, (& Long Ring Long Land) Post-Arabasta & Post-Enies Lobby: This was probably a common or local brand for her cos she's rocking that skirt in all different colors 👌 Also, I just wanna start by saying, all her t shirts actually go past her hips? So her skirts would actually be longer than they look cos she's actually draw quite strange when in tops. Anyway, shes starting off strong with this nice pink top n I like the nice shade with the white. Then, a dark blue for the first and only time ever for Nami to pick out. I personally think lighter colors are nicer for her tho. Bringing us to this BEAUTIFUL baseball jersey with purple sleves, get it bitch oml! 😘 I don't think that skirt matches very well but it's still cute. Then, she tries stripes and I think it works out well and I think the 3/4 length look is good for her too so that one is nice. The diamond pattern tank top is actually one of my favourite Pre-Skip looks just because it's so well matched with the skirt. You can't see in the picture but the dot inside the circle is the same yellow as her top so it's just very well done, definitely an actual set. And the lace? Amazing. I hate the feel of lace myself but it looks amazing.

Baratie, Drum Island, Post-Arabasta, Long Ring Long Land Whisky Peak, Post-War, Punk Hazard: Now, I don't actually have much to say about these, I just think they are worth mentioning.i like Nami in shirts with text, I always spend way too long trying to read em lol. Anyway, I like the Drum Island shirt & Punk Hazard shorts because ✨ stripes ✨

Water 7 & Enies Lobby: Nami's first dress! And also a new skirt! I like this frilly style more, I wish it stayed around tbh but oh well. Water 7 gives us the iconic blue shirt & tie with matching shoes and it's a blessing really. Then, Enies Lobby gave us the strange Denim outfit that Paulie hated with all his mind 🤣 At the time,I thought it was a cool outfit. It's not bad, the too looks a bit armour so it's go that going for it and that jacket slaps in my opinion. I like long sleeves on cropped jackets.

Thriller Bark: Pink! When I saw the first outfit, I thought something super bad was going to happen because it looked fancy and that anime for 'time to die'. Lucky for her, nothing happened at all apart for her just looking really grown up. I like her hair too, super cute. In the next fit, it's a total flip, quite punk. Her belt is a nice contrast from her skirt and I LOVE her top! Her party outfit looks like an itchy lace and the straps, while I live frills, look very irritating. It looks cute but I could never wear it myself. Lastly for this set is one of my all time favourites for Nami because she gets to wear a necklace! It's very small and hard to see but I think it's amazingly cute. This combination of her hair being down again, a nice pokadot shirt, full length jeans and a big smile from making a friend makes it all the best.

Sabaody Archipelago & Levely: As with the 3rd outfit set, I just think these are neat. She's rockin' a different necklace, shorts and a 90s style flower top then in Levely she's chillin' in a simple puff sleeve shirt with hearts a cross the chest. Simple looks, very effective

Fish-Man Island, Punk Hazard & Dressrosa: Fish-man island comin' in hot with the iconic Timeskip look and belt! This, I much prefer the Crimin bra because it's simple plus her hair is up really cutesy. Also it's funny cos that would have been expensive for she didn't steal all the outfits she did. Looks wise, Punk Hazard is my favourite but I really dislike that it doesn't cover the bottom of her boobs and its not really supportive. I think it's my favourite because it reminds me of Frankys vibes. Dressrosa's is also really cute but once again looks like the frills would tickle a bit. Also I like her shorts.

Zou: A DRESS! not only that but it's Purple, a color she's not worn before more than as sleeves years back. It's an interesting dress style, very lacy and would brake easy but it's VERY nice to look at. Her next looks bring back the ruffley frills and basic shirts. The half button shirt has her 2nd number on it and the colour matches her skirt! I like the purple coming back in her next skirt but what I like way more is her last Zou look. It's a nice halter neck with black lace trim then to make it better, her skirt is a wonderful shade of red that has an adjustable rope belt with little gold buttons on! I just- 🥰

Whole Cake Island & Wano: everyone's lord and fashion savour, WHOLE CAKE!!! I mean look at how cute she is in that first one! That fairytale aesthetic really owns my ass at this point! Then it's a total shift with that more mature sexy style red turtleneck dress no sleeves? The side by side vibes are 😘👌 love em! Plus, this arc gave us more purple AND 2 box neckline dresses which I think with Nami they really work. The forts Wano ouyfit is only here cos blue really works for her. It look okay but I don't think they are as nice as most people do. Idk what it is about it, I think it's just too square. The 2nd is nicer to my eyes, idk

And lastly, I just wanted to Shout out the First eps and the Dead End Adventure outfit cos it looks like Vector from Despicable me:

♧The NEO Chronicles♧

Part 3

Previous Part》

Description:The NEO bloodline is said to be decendant from the gods, that is why they rule as royals in a place known as The NEO kingdom.

The bloodline has always tried to stay pure to it's blood heritage but with the next generation growing up and no NEO bloodline females being born, the king and queen turn to drastic measures which eventually landed them with not one, but four NEO female heirs, all who were gifted with abilities of the elements.

Wind, Fire, Earth, Water

But when you tip a scale one way, it always has to dip in the other direction before levelling out again.

this must happen

but at what cost?

《Let the games begin》

"I'll do it"

"Pardon?" The queen spoke

"I agree to it" Haru spoke as she kept her arms folded behind her back as she stood in front of both her parents.

Currently in the room was all nine of the Lee children, both their parents plus a couple of guards and maids.

The queen stood across from her daughter, with her hands clasped in front of her, she held her head up high, the light in the room hitting her cheek bones perfectly.

The queen was a beautiful women, who had a petite, equally sized figure, the corset she wore thinned her waist, setting the standards high for a queen to be.

Haru was nothing like her mother, she knew that, she did love her mother, the women who raised her was kind and gentle but her mother, the queen was not one to be messed with.

She was smart enough to take out and entire kingdom right under their noses with out anyone realising until it was too late, that is why she was picked to be the queen, picked to be the kings wife, she had NEO blood in her and she was by all means perfect.

Surprise was evident on the queens face, she never expected Haru to comply with the idea.

The queen relaxed her features again, holding her chin up as she rolled her shoulders back effectively putting out her chest, the way she stood drew attention and demanded the utmost respect .

"Well then I shall send some maid to your room shortly to help you prepare, I presume our guest will be arriving soon"

Everyone in the room watched, waiting for what Haru would do next. The girl knew she was being watched, of course she was going to put on an act.

"of course mother" She spoke in a soft tone, smiling as she bowed slightly before turning and walking away.

All eight of Haru's siblings looked to each other, confusion riddled their expressions. Haru the only Lee child who ever put up a fight had just willingly agreed to marry another, of whom she had never officially met yet.

Mirae looked for her brother Donghyuck, the two were Haru's best friend, they were all super close because of their age. Donghyuck caught his sister gaze and almost immediately knew what she was thinking, Mirae communicated through her eyes, gesturing in diffrent direction, using her eyebrows for emphasis.

After communicating her thoughts to him, Mirae stepped away and began to follow after Haru, Donghyuck following shortly after.

The others watched them as they met at the archway of the throne room, they didn't stop as they continued on after Haru.

Haru was met with a cool breeze as she walked outside of the walls connected to the palace.

She took in the colourful sights and vibrant smells of the garden as she made her way along the paths.

She greeted some of the maids and gardeners with polite smiles as she passed, she may dispise her life and go against it all day long, but she was a good person,

She was polite to others and thought of everyone as equals, she hated the suffering of other especially those less fortunate then herself.

Her pace slowed down as she came to the end of the path, slipping her shoes off she stepped onto the cool grass, a shiver ran up her spine at the sudden coldness.

She stood still, wriggling and embedding her toes into the small blades of grass. She continued onwards heading further away from the paths.

Her gaze feel upon the calming waters of a loch which was in the centre of the royal gardens, while walking towards it she came across an old sakura tree.

The tree had bright pink flowers blossoming from little buds, the sun's rays peaked and streamed through the cracks in the branches .

Haru stood under the tree looking out over the loch, digging her feet into the dirt, closing her eyes she took deep breaths, in through her nose then out again through a big sigh.

keeping her eyes shut she relished in the feeling of it all, the light breeze tickling her skin, the heat of the sun's rays, the noise of the water rippling, the feeling of the cool grass and dirt beneath her feet.

The shock of cold water touching her cheek made her open her eyes, she saw a firm stream of water flowing up from the loch, it hung in the air rapping and curling in on itself.

Haru spun around and spotted two figures stood side by side on the grass, Mirae stood with her hands held out in front of her.

Donghyuck stood on her left, his eyes flicked between Mirae's out stretched hands and the water flowing in the air.

"did you two follow me here?" Haru asked as she lowered herself down to sit on the grass in the shadow of the sakura tree.

"well I wouldn't call it following" Donghyuck said finally looking away from Mirae's hands as she lowered them back down to her sides.

"so stalking then?" Haru looked back up to them as she spoke.

"No! I was coming out for a walk, Donghyuck just wanted to come" Mirae defended herself as she came closer to where Haru sat.

"mhmm" Haru hummed as she turned back in the direction of the loch.

"did Mark send you?" Haru questioned watching a small group of ducks as they bobbed on top of the water.

"what? no we just wanted to-"

"question me on my decision?" Haru spoke cutting Donghyuck off.

"yes we did" Donghyuck spoke catching the attention of Haru's gaze.

She hadn't been expecting them to admit it that quickly.

"well?" Donghyuck pushed

Calmly Haru turned back to face the water once more.

"what do you want me to say?, that I didn't make the decision myself?" Haru inquired as she leaned her head back, as so it was resting upon the trunk of the tree.

"so you are going along with it?" Mirae asked

"did I agree to it? Yes , though I don't  recall saying I was going to do it with out putting up a fight" Haru said without turning or acknowledging her two siblings stood behind her.

Donghyuck looked down, smirking, he coughed to try and hide his ammusment as Mirae stood with her mouth hanging open.

" now if you will excuse me I have to be ready for the arriving guests" Haru spoke as she got up, stopping in front of the two.

She brought a hand up and with one finger she gently placed her fibger under Mirae' chin, she carfully shut Mirae's mouth.

"let the games begin" she spoke with a smirk, before walking off, going back to the pathway which would lead her back up towards the palace.

《~~◇~~》

"why so tight, Jina?" Haru gasped, lowering her head down, Her hands were supporting her by holding onto the wooden post of the bed.

Jina, her maid, was stood behind her tightening the strings to the corset which hugged her figure.

"I'm sorry princess, but her majesty, suggested it may be more proper to tighten the corset up for tonight's events" Jina spoke as her fingers got back to work on the strings at the back of the corset.

Haru closes her eyes as the tightening of the strings brought her ribs closer together.  Jina stepped away, giving Haru time to adjust her breathing.

Haru looked up to the ceiling as she panted out deep breaths. Loosening her grip on the wooden post she ran a hand down the from of the corset.

She stepped away from the bed, taking stiff steps towards the window in her room.

She rested her hands on the window sill, looking out she spotted the multiple guests arriving, all dressed to impress, with their fancy dress clothing.

Haru watched as Ara, Taeyong and Ten came out from the entrance of the castle, they stood upon the stone steps, smiling and welcoming the arriving guests.

The thick wooden door on the other side of the room opened as an elegant figure strolled in, standing by the door with a poised posture.

Haru continued to look out the window as her mother came in.

The queen dismissed Jina, the closing of the door made Haru finally acknowledge her mother, her body still faced the window  she watched her mother over her shoulder.

"You should have the corset tighter" her mother spoke coming away from the door.

Haru turned her head back, looking outside, Mark now stood with Ara, Taeyong and Ten, he was also suites in his best clothing. He stood with his hands behind his back, his smile captivated her attention.

These guest were some of his friends, and they hadn't seen each other in a while, most of the regions stuck to themselves through the winter, only really contacting each other in times of emergency, Haru knew Mark, Jeno and Donghyuck had been sending letters to the other princes to keep in contact, but it was not the same.

"Haru, come over here" The queen spoke, cutting through the silence.

Slowly Haru turned to face her mother, who stood beside the bed, where Jina had been fastening up the corset beforehand.

Walking over the queen held out her hands, she circled her index finger indicating for Haru to turn around.

Haru gritted her teeth at the thought of not putting up a fight, though she began following her mother's instruction she turned around, placing both her hands back on the bed post. Her posture drew rigid again as she felt her mother's fingers grasp and tug at the strings at the back of the corset.

Haru's body involuntarily shifted forwards and backwards as her mother tugged and tightened the corset. She hissed as her mother finally finished pulling the strings as tight as they would go.

She was momentarily breathless, she closed her eyes once again as black specks danced and dotted around her vision. Her grip on the bed post was the only thing holding her to reality, she swayed on her feet.

slowly, as she took calm calculated breaths, her sight began to come back.

She shook her head as she came back to her senses. She spotted a dress  now sat upon her bed. The dress was a viridan green. It had lace crisscrossing along the chest with  gold material embroidered around the waist, it held gems and crystals, which sparkled in the light bursting in from the windows.

She took her right hand off the bed post and leaned forward, her fingertips brushed against the material of the dress. The dress was made of the finest linen.

She plucked the dress up off the bed. She held It up in front of herself.

With the thin material gripped between her fingertips, she ran her hand lightly over the gold patterns on the front of the dress.

Haru spotted the queen had stilled her movement from the corner of her eye

"it was my dress when I was younger, I thought it would suit you best" she spoke, Haru's eyes looked to her before flicking back to the dress, which she still held out at arms length in front of her.

The queen gestured for Haru to pass the dress to her. Haru obliged passing the dress gently off to her mother, carefully the queen helped Haru slip the dress on, it fitted Haru perfectly.

The queen took a couple steps back to admire the dress which hugged Haru's figure in all the right places, defining and emphasising all her curves.

The queen brought a hand up to her mouth as she looked to the second youngest heir to the throne.

The queen looked at the princess for a few more seconds before she moved towards one of the dresser in the room, she opened a small wooden box which was placed on top of the mahogany wood drawers.

Haru tried to peer over the queens shoulder to see what vacated the box,, but her efforts were futile

The queen pulled her hands back up, grasped between her fingertips was a necklace. It had a golden chain and held a green emerald at the end of it.

The queen looked at the peice of jewerly in her hands, her head turned back up in Haru's direction, she walked towards the girl with the necklace held out infront of her.

Haru brought her hands up to grab her hair, she bunched it up and held it off her neck as the queen clasped the necklace around the back of her neck, the queen trailed her hand down the necklace, her finger rolled down the chain until it reached the bottom of the necklace, which lay on Haru's chest.

The queen took shuffled steps back to admire her daughter once more.

"You will be a beautiful bride and queen" she spoke reaching up her sleeve, she pulled out a handkerchief, she brought it up to tap under her eye before bringing it in front of her mouth. as she began to tear up.

"mother" Haru spoke reaching out to her mother. The queen simply edged away, she straightened back up as she brought her arms down to her sides once more.

"prepare yourself, I will be sending someone up to escort you" the queen says as she turned to go towards the door, she gripped the door handle, pulling the door open she walked out, leaving the room once again in silence.

Haru stood still as she turned her head back towards the window, she watched as the clouds in the sky flowed in the same direction of the wind. As Haru unfocused her eyes her gaze caught her own reflection, she looked to the sight of her figure in the full length mirror.

Stepping forward she looked her reflection up and down a couple of times, the dress did fit perfectly, Jina had also worked with Haru's hair, her hair was in a half up half down style with braids cascading through her hair.

Her eyes caught onto the necklace which rested upon her chest, her hands came up as her fingers rap around the necklace, the metal of it was cold to the touch, she gripped her fingers around it, she took in the detail embedded into the metal.

She lay the necklace back on her chest as her eyes drifted down to her waist. There was a visible difference. She naturally had a thin waist, but without the corset Haru doubted the dress would ever fit the same  way ever again.

She trailed her hands down the front of the dress, her fingers dipped in between the strings crisscrossing the chest area of the dress, running her hands down further, her fingertips took in the feeling of the many material that had been stuck together to make the dress, the feeling was rough but smooth.

Haru eyes slowly travelled back up, she looked herself straight in the eyes for a few seconds she saw them flicker a deep luminescent green. Haru squeezed her eye shut, lightly shaking her head

Upon re-opening them her eyes were back to normal, she sighed, closing her eyes once more, she tried to bring herself peace.

"Its for the good if the kingdom" Haru said to herself in a whispered tone.

She tilted her head up. She could do this, no she would do this. She was strong enough to go through with this

At least that's what she continued to tell herself

A knock at the door made Haru turn around a figure slowly pulled them through the space between the door and it's frame.

"I've come to escort you downstairs" Jeno spoke to his sister who still stood across the room, next to the window.

Haru sighed as she walked closer, Jeno held out his arm, she slipped her arm into his.

"let me guess mother dressed you?" Jeno spoke. The silence that followed his question gave him all the answers he needed.

He turned his head to look at Haru. Jeno scanned her eyes for any sights of resentment or angry.

But all he saw was determination and fear.

She was scared.

Jeno do not expect Haru of all people to fear her decision , yes she has made bad decisions but she never feared and regretted any of them until after she did them.

"Haru you don't hav-"

"don't Jeno" Haru said closing her eyes as she turned her head. "I know what I'm doing, don't disagree with me on this" she added slowly opening her eyes once more.

Clearing his throat Jeno began to lead Haru out of her room, down towards the guest which stood waiting for the princesse's arrival.

Better Man // Part 1

Hey guys! It's been a while since I wrote any stuff on here, so apologies! This is a new Ashton Irwin Series, enjoy!

Warnings : Swearing, light smut.

Side note--this is a very different series to what I normally write. It's a long one!

"Do you have Fanta Lemon or Orange?" I hear the old man say at the pool bar desk.

"Both! Which will it be?" I politely ask the customer. He agrees on one of each. I smile, walking over to the machine to pour a drink. I give the man his drinks, complete with ice and a lemon slice in the Fanta Lemon.

"Thanks" he says, adding a creepy wink at the end, shoving a crumpled €5 in to the tip jar on the work surface. I weakely smile, thanking him for his tip.

It's March, and it's currently 21 degrees in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and I'm working for a 6th day in a row. Don't get me wrong, I love my job. It was only meant to be a summer job, working in a restaurant bar at a five star hotel for 3 months during my university holidays. I had it all figured out, work during the summer abroad to save money for my 2nd year at university, however life took a different path. I ended up failing my last essay, meaning that I would have to retake the whole year, so I decided to drop out of university all together. My Dad ended up marrying this blonde women I'd met appropriately 5 times in 6 months, so I decided to move out. In the end, staying in Santa Cruz de Tenerife was a better plan, no family, no university, just my friends out here and work, and that's all that mattered.

"Y/N, go have your break" I hear my boss, Andre shout from the store cupboard. I take my apron off, grab a glass of water and head to the break room. I open the door to find my best mates, Camila and Ed, already sat in there, probably gossiping about someone.

"Y/N! Come join us, we're bitching about Margot again" Ed laughed, pushing a chair towards me.

"Let me guess, she left the cups in the dryer again?!" I sighed.

Ed and Camila hated the new girl, Margot, who had just started working shifts on the bar. It would be unfair to say she was bad at her job, she is awful. From spilling drinks to over customers to making basically poisonous drinks, she couldn't get the hang of it.

"She left me to do all the washing up again today, it's pissing me off" Camila moaned.

I rolled my eyes.

"Maybe mention it to Andre, maybe she needs more training".

Camila laughed.

"Nope, she needs to leave. She isn't cut out for this job" she replies, high fiving Ed. I rolled my eyes again.

"Anyway, what's up with you? Any new guys on the scene?" Ed winked at me, resting his hands on his face, like he was waiting for some big story.

"Oh please, next question" I scoffed, taking a mouthful of drink to clear my dry throat. Since moving to Santa Cruz de Tenerife permanently, I'd become best friends with Ed and Camila through work. We were a smiliar age, but very different people. Camila had been seeing a guy, Pete, for 8 months when I first met her, and Ed was in an on-off thing with the lifeguard at the pool, Mateo. Where as me, I'd been single for a good 2 years. My last relationship was with a guy back in England, which didn't end so nicely. I decided that my move to Santa Cruz de Tenerife would maybe bring some new love into my life, and a year later after moving here, I was still single.

"Well what about Matias?" Camila sighed.

"Not my type, too chatty" I laughed.

"Ben?"

"Not funny enough"

"Mateo is nice" Ed laughed.

"Yeah, before I realised he only went out with me because he fancied you!" I laughed.

"Seriously though Y/N, where are you gonna find someone and stop being so fussy?" Camila asked.

"When the time is right Cami, just not now I guess!" I jokingly snapped at her. I loved my friends, but do wish that they'd get off my case about finding someone. I wasn't really in the mood for dating at the moment.

"Anyway... Moving on... What you got planned for this weekend?" I asked my friends.

"Well, there's fuck all to do here, so we could head into town, have a night out?" Ed suggested.

"Sounds good, and, maybe I could ask Pete to bring a mate..." Camila winked at me. I groaned.

"I better get back to work, see you later!" I got up and walked away before she could finish what she was going to say.

"Okay girl, think about it!" she laughs, seeing how annoyed I was getting. Ed nudges her playfully.

It's 12am, and my shift is coming to an end. I close up the outdoor bar, pack away the glasses that Margot didn't do from earlier. I hang my apron up, and head to the main reception desk of the hotel to sign out. I see a few regular hotel guests and say goodnight to them. Just as I get the staff sign out book, I hear a slam of a door behind me. It startles me so much that I drop the book onto the floor. I groan, bending down to pick the book up. As I go to pick it up, a set of hands also reaches for the book and helps me to pick it up. I look up, and see a man with messy curly hair, wearing a polka dot shirt and skinny black jeans. He gives me a warm smile, as he gives the book back to me.

"Gracias" I thank the boy in Spanish.

"No worries" he chuckles in English, with an Aussie twang. He warmly smiles, before reaching to his Jean back pocket, getting his mobile phone out to answer a call.

"Sorry" is all the boy says, before walking off.

I stand there, all confused for a second, before then realising that I need to sign out of work. I sign my name, and head for the exit of the hotel.

My drive home is a quiet one, thinking about the curly haired boy in the reception area. Yeah he was cute, and smartly dressed. I chuckled to myself, hoping to see him the next day around the hotel.

***

"Two beers coming up" I smile at the young couple on their holiday. Its a busy down round the pool today, lots of new arrivals, after all it is the school holidays. I place the young couple their drinks on their table before heading back to the bar to clean some drinks. The curly haired boy has been on my mind all morning. Yes it was a brief encounter. Yes I thought he was cute. And yes, I wanted to see him again.

"Y/N, can you go to reception? There's an early check in" Andre asks.

I head to reception, and I'm greeted by a young women with black hair, and a tall blonde haired boy. They look very young, but cute together. As I approach them, I greet them.

"Welcome to the Hotel La Flora, my name is Y/N" I smile. I see Ed across the counter, checking the young couple in.

"Thanks Y/N, I'm Sierra and this is my boyfriend Luke". She smiled, her boyfriend Luke offering a hand for me to shake. Polite, I thought. Once they're all checked in, I carry their bags to the room on the top floor, our penthouse deluxe room. Normally only wealthy businessmen or celebrities hire this room. I open the door, set the cases on the beds and open the French doors to show the young couple the huge balcony. The view fell the balcony is beautiful.

"You've got a beautiful view here, perfect view of the beach" I smile, handing them their keys.

"Would you like any help unpacking?" I ask.

"No thank you Y/N, thanks again" the boyfriend Luke smiles, handing me a €20 tip. I widely smile at this very generous tip, making note of the generous offer.

"Thank you that's very kind". I smile, placing the money into my pocket. I walk around the rest of the apartment, opening the other doors to show the couple around, including the 2nd bedroom.

"Ah, Ashton and Kay will be just fine here I hope" I hear the girlfriend, Sierra say to her boyfriend.

"Yeah, I'm not sure about Kay though" Luke mutters. I hear a deep sigh from the girl.

"I'll leave you guys to it, I hope you enjoy your stay. " I smile, thanking them again for the tip, before shutting the door to give them time to unpack. I run down to reception, to gloat at Ed for the huge tip.

"Comeon that's not fair, I checked them in!" he moans, trying to take the money off me.

"Well maybe next time you carry your own bags!" I scoff at him, playfully sticking my tongue out at him, before skipping back off to the bar.

****

It's 3pm, and things have gotten a lot quieter around the pool bar. People are starting to head inside for evening plans. I grab a book, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, and read a few pages, before spotting a girl heading towards the bar. I set my book down, and greet the girl with a warm smile.

"Hello what can I get you today?"

"Tap water, make sure it's cold" she snaps, not even looking at me. I pore the girl a tap water, noting her tone. Rude, I thought.

"Thanks, sorry if I snapped at you, just been one of those day, you know" she sighs, looking at her phone still.

"I get it, it's OK" I say, not wanting to be nosy and ask what's happened. Before I can say anything else, she calls someone.

"I'm here, where are you?" she snaps to the person on her phone, before walking towards the door to the entrance of the bar. As she walks towards the door, a familiar face walks in, wearing a red t-shirt with skinny Jean shorts and Ray Ban sunglasses. I sigh, it's the curly haired boy from last night with the sign out book.

"Kay, you're early" he says, hugging the girl.

"Well I wanted to see you, is that so much of a problem?" she snaps.

"Not here, please" he requests, looking at me, before looking at the floor. He gently grabs her arms and they walk off. Dramatic, I thought. I continue to read my book.

Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them," I said.

"Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway".

That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway."

I deeply sighed at the quote in the book, before taking a sip of my ice tea.

"Are you Okay?" I hear a voice say. The voice startles me, as I spit out my drink over the counter. I can feel my face going bright red from sheer embarrassment.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry Sir" I say, running around to the back to get a cloth and wipe up the mess. I come back and see the curly haired boy looking at me and laughing.

"It's okay, I shouldn't have disturbed you during your book reading" he laughs, looking at my book. I continue to politely ignore him, clearing up my mess. I noted that my book was now covered in ice tea.

"Damn, guess I'll be needing a new book" I laugh, looking at the boy.

"Sorry, I'm so sorry Sir, it was very unprofessional of me to-" I apologise.

"No need... Um.... Y/N" he interrupts, looking closely at my name badge.

"Thank you." I awkwardly chuckle. There's a pause before either of us say anything.

"So.. Can I get you anything sir?" I ask, resuming my duty.

"Gin and tonic please" he responds. I head to the bar, and pour the man a drink. As I head back to the bar I note that he's taken a seat in front of my work station. Odd, I thought.

"There you go" I politely say, placing the drink in front of the boy. He smiled, taking a huge gulp of the drink. He sits there in silence, so I decide to make light conversation while cleaning a few glasses.

"So, everything okay?" I ask. For a few seconds he doesn't respond, he just stares into his glass.

"Yeah, just one of those days, y'know?" he says, scoffing under his breath, before finishing the rest of his drink. He lightly taps the top of the glass, indicating that he would like another, I head to the liquor counter and make him another one.

"I get what you mean, do you wanna talk about it? You wouldn't believe the stories I've heard working here" I softly reply.

"Maybe after a few of these ill open up" he cutely laughs. I hand him his second drink, to which he finishes all in one.

"Woah okay, take it easy yeah?" I say, slightly concerned.

"Nah its okay, I'm good with my drink. I remember having a drinking contest with Mike and Calum in LA after a gig... Good times." he reasurres me, asking for another drink. I make him another one, but deliberately put less alcohol in it, just in case.

"Oh so you're in a band?" I ask.

"Yeah, been together for quite a few years. Been touring for a few months so it's nice to have a break... Or so I thought" he mutters the last part.

"That's cool. What sort of music do you play?" I ask, continuing to clean glasses.

The boy pauses, looks confused into my eyes. I can't tell if he's mad at my comment or going to pass out.

"Oh, so you don't know who I am?" he asks confused.

I pause for a second. Shit, I've offended him.

"I'm sorry, just that music out here is a mixture and-" I panic.

"Hey no its okay! To be honest it's quite nice to not be well known" he smiles at me, taking a sip of his drink.

****

3 hours later, and the boy is still sat in front of me, drinking his millionth G&T, and I've joined him, having one or two won't hurt at work. He tells me his life story, the more drunk he gets. Turns out him and his band are quite well known globally. He tells me the awards they've won over the years, and tour stories. He tells me about the time one of the Jenner-Kardashian crew didn't get their band name right at an awards ceremony. He seems incredibly proud when talking about his band mates, who are also his best friends.

"So you've never really heard of us? " he slurrs a little.

I giggle. "I don't think so. Hum me one of your songs" I reply.

All of a sudden, he gets up on the bar stool and starts singing.

"Sometimes I’m feeling like I’m going insane

My neighbor told me that I got bad brains"

He is screaming at the top of his voice, standing on a bar stool in an empty bar. I'm crying with laughing at this, amazed at how he hasn't fallen off the bar stool. He says two lines of a song, that freezes, and hums.

"I-I can't remember how the rest goes" he laughs, climbing off the stool.

"That's okay" I laugh, wiping tears from my eyes.

"Did you enjoy that?" he laugh, shooting me a playful wink.

"I did actually, I'll keep an eye out for it in the charts" I laugh back. Suddenly his phone rings in his pocket. He groans, answering the call.

"Luke! Yeah I'm good, just in the bar. Yeah ill be up in a minute." he states bluntly, before hanging up. He stares at his phone, looking somewhat sad.

"Everything okay rockstar?" I chuckle.

He awkwardly chuckles back. "Yeah I guess just women stuff".

"Wanna talk about it? Funnily enough I'm quite knowledgeable in that area" I smile.

"Just my girlfri-ex girlfriend." he scoffs.

"Oh, wanna talk about it still?".

"She's here, on holiday wit-with me and my best mate and his girlfriend and I honestly don't know what. We're done, like done-done months ago, y'know?" he slightly slurrs.

"Yeah I get you" I sigh, remembering not so long ago I went through the same thing back in England.

"Why is sh-she here? She said she wanted to be mates and I agreed, but then she wants to acted all like a couple in public, but hates me when it's just me and her" he says. Im sympathetic towards this guy.

"Maybe talk to her while you're here, a little bit of sun and a different sight might work things out" I suggest, trying to cheer him up.

"Yeah, you're right. We're definitely done, I just want her to leave me alone basically" he scoffs.

"Sounds awful, but I don't want a relationship right now you know? I just wanna explore the world with my band, but also have something on the side, y'know?" he says. I stare at the harshness in his voice, yet I understand what he means.

I sigh. "um, yeah, I know exactly what you mean".

Just as the boy starts to speak again, the blonde hair boy from earlier walks in. He kicks his heals on the wooden floor, like in an inpatient manner.

"Ash, are you okay?" he asks.

The curly haired boy sighs. "Yeah I'm alright man, just needed a break. I just want her to go".

"Well Sierra is talking to her now, I think she's gonna head off so you can have a break" Luke replies. Luke notes my presence.

"Sorry, he hasn't been a pain has he?" Luke sarcastically asked.

I laugh. "I can reassure you sir I've had much worse."

The curly haired boy stands up from his bar stool slowly, trying to not stumble.

"Comeon, let's go have a nap" Luke says, putting his arm and shoulder under the curly haired boys armpit to support him.

"Do you need any help?" I ask.

"It's okay, he just needs a nap" Luke laughs.

"Thanks Y/N, see ya around!" the curly haired boy laughs. Luke walks off basically carrying the curly haired boy back to his room.

"She's kinda cute, right?" I hear Ashton attempting to whisper to his friend. I quietly giggle at this.

"Shh drunk boy" Luke laughs, helping his mate. They both leave the bar together, leaving just myself around an empty desolate bar, surrounding with 7 empty G&T glasses. I laugh to myself, thinking about the last 4 hours of chat we've had, hoping to have more with the curly haired boy sometime soon.
