He Trains So Much, Likes To Keep His Body In Prime Condition Even When He Has A Window Of Time Off. Boxing

he trains so much, likes to keep his body in prime condition even when he has a window of time off. boxing stull consumes him even on his down time. for the most part, that means no alcohol. but it doesn't stop him from socializing, from being around it on occasion. he's enjoying a moment of calm when he feels someone's presence, and when he turns to see lana, he's smiling before she even finishes her sentence. " what, did you think i was sat over here sulking ? " teases, gentle nudge to her side. " it's too nice of a night for that. "

open  starter  ( @palmviewstarters )  ! location :  the salty sailor bar in sunny shores , around 9pm .

the cocktail bar is exactly her scene , with her honey-blonde waves & open-back body-con dress , lana glides through the crowd with a fruity cocktail between her manicured fingers . despite the september breeze in the air , she doesn't feel cold or lacking energy as she sits down beside someone sitting alone , her grin almost bright enough to put the moon to shame . “ hi , ” pearly whites dig into her plump bottom , fixing the spaghetti strap on her shoulder as she looks with interest . “ so , what will it take to make you smile tonight ? “

SET IT UP (2018) dir. Claire Scanlon

kai watches her with a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips, clearly entertained by her spiral of concerns. he leans back in his chair, crossing his arms casually as he listens to her list off potential disasters. when she finishes, he raises an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming with that familiar, teasing mischief. “ alright, alright, i’ll keep the water away from your precious electronics, " he responds, holding up his hands in mock surrender before chuckling again. “ but, come on, laila. some things are better wet, right ? " feigns innocence at his comment, shoulder soon shrugging. “ seriously, though, don’t you ever thinking about taking the edge off ? there’s ways to chill out. and I know my first choice, ” kai tells her, before mimicking the act of smoking a joint in subtle suggestion.

time has of course altered them both. that's what growing up usually ends up doing to you, right? laila has stayed somewhat the same throughout. but this was just how she was a majority of the time either way. would she ever stop worrying or stressing out about something? the answer to that particular question was... probably not. " just water, sure, but it still gets things wet. and sometimes it's hard to fix things when they're wet. what if it was my electronics you were spilling water on? like my phone? or my laptop... " she continued to trail on for a second. " and no, this isn't me giving you any ideas so don't even think about it. " laila gave him a stare for a moment as she thought about his question before answering. " hmmmm, nope! i've got a lot to do and so little time to do it in. what's to expect? "

               he fucking hates being social, yet all too often he can be found at parties much like this one. usually on his own, one too many drinks in, five sheets to the wind. tonight is no different, though he's not quite at the point of no return just yet. eyes narrow when he hears the other speak, lips slightly pursed. there's a pause, another gulp of throat-burning liquid consumed before he shrugs. " 'm not sure whose conversation you're picking up exactly, but i sure as shit didn't say anything. " amusement soon curls lips, " that wasted you're imagining stuff now ? 'cause if so, i'll have some of what you're drinkin'. "

               the  red  solo  cup  is  within  her  grasp,  only  a  couple  sips  left  and  the  fuzziness  is  almost  beginning  to  take  hold.  standing  against  the  wall,  shes  barely  focused  on  the  conversation  at  hand  but  managed  to  butt  in  at  the  last  second  ...  simply  feeling  everyones  eyes  on  her.  “  hm  ?  oh  ..  i'm  not  hitting  much  of  anything  these  days.  ”  theres  a  silence  in  the  air,  clearly  not  listening  to  the  right  parts  of  the  conversation.  “  sorry,  i  heard  something  about  hitting  and  went  with  it  ...  i  haven't  been  listening.  ”     +     @palmviewstarters

" you should just be beautiful, perfect you. the right person is out there, and i would literally die and come back from the dead before i let you settle. but yes, maybe we let men better themselves because they want to be better, not because we want them to be. " a waste of time and energy, as she's come to witness over the years. she gives her friend a look that says just trust me, and maybe it is silly to base something off a choice of footwear, but she full of intuition— or so she likes to think. it could just be an excuse, because maybe the matchmaker herself isn't so sure what she wants when it comes to love. " okay, solo dates, love that for you. " she's quiet, with difficulty, stops herself from butting in and just takes it in, basks in her friends experience. her heart swells at the thought, glint of happiness for the other reflected in her eyes. even if it was an encounter that didn't lead to forever, what a magical encounter to have. " wow, " noa breathes out once celeste finishes, but being reserved last all of two seconds before she's beaming. " that literally sounds like a scene out of a ron-com, you know, back when rom-coms were actually good. but oh my god, letty, that sounds . . . epic. definitely not delusional ! sometimes the universe has to take matters into it's own hands, put two people exactly where they're supposed to be. are you seeing him again ? "

"i think that might be the nicest thing you've ever said to me," a fake tear is wiped away, hand over heart. the more noa explained her reasoning, the more celeste began to realize where she'd gone wrong. she couldn't count on one hand the amount of men she'd replicated the exact scenario with, much to her own regret. "okay, okay, i see your point," she laughs, hands thrown up in surrender. "what i'm getting from this is that i should stop trying to be caulk-over-it celeste." she had a tendency of giving her relationships the landlord special, and socks and sandals could easily be painted over. "i just think it's kind of hilarious how you came to that conclusion from socks and sandals alone, but that's why you're the match maker and not me !" with another sip of her wine, celeste can't help but share the excitement. she scoots an inch closer, clapping her hands together as she prepares herself for the tell all. "well, i went out and none of the girls wanted to come with, so i went by myself, obviously. i ended up trying out the cheesiest pick up line i could think of, and it actually worked ? and then we danced for a little, talked some more, and he walked me home. the part that's actually wild to me is that we got to my building and found out we're neighbors ? is that some kind of a sign or am i just delusional ?"
