He Likes Her Company, Her Willingness To Throw Around Ideas. Sometimes It's Good To Have An Outside Perspective

he likes her company, her willingness to throw around ideas. sometimes it's good to have an outside perspective from someone who isn't deeply involved, who can see a vision without thinking about the money signs. " ah, well that's true. sweet treats are in high demand year round, you're probably busier than me. " which again, makes him grateful she took the time to step out with him today. if there's one thing about kingsley, it's that he likes to give thanks where it's due, repay the favour. " you know, i wouldn't feel right about not thanking you properly, " he adds, hand coming up to his chest as a playful smirk begins to form, " i think i owe you a nice dinner for your ideas. lunch, at the very least. what do you say, think you can pencil me into your busy schedule later this week ? "

she knows exactly what a poor family dynamic could be like. and that wasn't something she would've wished on anybody. it was hard and she definitely couldn't fault him for not wanting to talk about things that were super personal such as that. " you think so, huh? well, let me just say. that's really sweet of you to say. " she smiled happily at his kind compliment towards her. hadley wasn't an interior designer but she did like to think that she could have some really good tips at times. " right? who wouldn't like the sound of that? it sounds like such a nice idea. at least it did in my own head, anyways. it could be such a fun hangout spot too, you know? especially when it comes to your super close friends. " the options for kingsley and this place was very much unlimited. " me? a job in real estate? no... i haven't ever really thought about it. i have the bakery and that keeps me busy as it is. " she responded. " but... i'll have to keep it in the back of my mind possibly. i'm not entirely a professional! just a girl who has some good ideas from time to time. brainstorming ideas is always the fun part about these kinds of things."

               kingsley raises an eyebrow, his signature smirk already tugging at the corner of his mouth as he leans back casually in his chair. “ easy there, tiger, ” responds with an amused chuckle, trying to figure out where this conversation is going. " before i go encouraging you to use violence, i might need a little more detail. who are we talking about ? "

               anger  was  an  emotion  that  cami  knew  well,  especially  when  it  involved  a  competition  —  although  most  competitions  happened  within  her  mind  rather  than  communicated  with.  “  she’s  five  feet  of  insidious  snark  with  a  side  ponytail,  and  i  just  wanna  grab  it  and  i  wanna  yank  it  really,  really  hard.  ”     +     @dreamerfms

" nobody actually likes avocado, man. no one can convince me it's not one big collective lie. people just say they like it because it makes them sound trendy. like, oh, look at me, i eat green mush and pretend it doesn’t taste like nothing. " he'll never understand the craze, though he's not exactly an expert. he's the type of person to easily burn toast, so he can't be expected to know good cuisine. " alright, let's go. less talking, more walking. still think we should have doordashe'd though. "

leon laughs, he doesn't know the difference between noodles and pasta either. "i have no idea," he says. smiling when the other agrees to a beer, the blond makes his way towards the front door. "alright, grumpy," he teases. "i didn't know you didn't like avocado. that's a rare breed, man. at least have tomato and mayo on it. or ketchup if that's more your style. anyway, i'm starving," he says. every time he gets the munchies, leon's stomach starts growling. sometimes it's annoying as fuck, especially if he's working or something. but now he's chilling with ace so it's fine.

kai stares, blinks, is quiet for a moment before he let's out an exasperated sigh. " yeah, so most of that went completely over my head. you really never learned to chill out, did you ? "

" i'm trying to decide if i want this to be a standard cup of coffee or if i want someone to have accidentally poured half a bottle of whiskey into it, " ponders with a sardonic smile, sporting a very obvious hangover. kai takes a tentative sip and his expression falls from hopeful to disappointed. " well, look at that. guess i'm soberin' up. people in this town are no fun. "

" i mean, think of it this way, i get more excited to see you than most because i know when we do get together, we get to spill every little life detail that's happened in between. " gossip, basically. no matter how she tries to spin it, noa braunstein is obsessed with a good story. the brunette nods, casually sipping her wine— much needed after a long week. " i know what you mean. but the problem with guys like that is, once you fix them up they suddenly think they can do better. like, hello ? no one likes an ego trip. they act like they're all that and completely forget you were the one who upgraded them in the first place. and by the time they realize you were the best thing to ever happen to them, it's too late. the damage is done. besides, true love is accepting someone for who they are, flaws and all. unfortunately for him, socks with sandals ? not a flaw i can look past. " noa sees the smirk forming and instantly gives celeste her full attention before she even speaks. when she finally does, noa squeals with excitement, practically leaping forward to grab her friend's arm " what do you mean it's no big deal ? it's so a big deal. tell me everything. "

"i'm pretty sure time is relative, or whatever it is they say," she would've said anything to get noa to agree with her, even if she wasn't entirely sure what she was talking about. of course, celeste didn't actually expect her to move, she just had a penchant for being right. "i can't argue with a girl's closet though, so as painful as it is to say, you have me beat on this one." her hand covered her heart, face dropping into a pout as she tucked her legs under her. she was making valid points, which only solidified celeste's theory that there must be something wrong with her. where noa was disgusted, she would've been endeared, planning the project in lengthy detail and attempting to execute it promptly. "no i get it, i really do, i guess i just think there's something hot about a man that needs you, y'know ? but i'm acutely aware that i need help, so maybe don't take my advice on this one ?" a grape popped into her mouth as she thought of everything that had happened to her this week, smirk growing and scooting herself closer. "well, i did meet a guy and get his number. but it's no big deal, i swear !"
