Ocean City RP - Liz

 

Liz was glad no one had asked her many questions. She couldn't say why she was really with Cole. Other than the idea of getting away from a lover who might as well have kept her on a shelf for safekeeping. 

Yeah, she'd listened to Cole that night. It felt more like a fairytale now that fizzled. They were nowhere being soulmates or life partners. She was thankful Cole was the kind of person who wanted to give things time. Yet, she felt she might have been holding him back. Or was she just holding herself back?

And then she found Ezra alone in the elevator. They were going up. She nursed her bottom lip for longer than she wished. Trying to figure out what she could say, but this might be her only chance. She could see why Delia liked him. Even hated him. 

"Oh, you're the one who got Delia's doll for Christmas, aren't you?" She felt herself go numb. Did she actually say that to a stranger? Well, everyone was a stranger these days.

"Huh?" His dark eyes looked at her blankly.

"She said she couldn't keep it. She was afraid Han would be upset." Liz told him. Her face flushed thinking she was supposed to keep it a secret, but Delia hadn't given a pinky promise...so...

He slightly laughed. She thought she even saw a little smile. 

"I should have known." He shook his head as if he might be disgusted. 

"Is she a sex doll?" Liz found herself saying. Again. She felt a little dizzy. What had made her say such things? She felt as if it were a last chance of some kind.

He cracked up. "I don't really know. I just watch TV with her."

Liz nodded as if she'd do the same thing. 

Ezra acted as if he might choke, so he said nothing more. Finally, the elevator came to a stop. The doors open. They went out together. Although they were closely touching each other, as if the doors might close in on them. 

"You?" He stared at her.

She nodded as if she could read his mind. They even walked in the same direction. It was at the moment she knew he knew where she was going.

"Could..could I see her?" Liz looked at him.

He shrugged as he unlocked his door. She followed and saw the life-sized doll on the couch as if she might be waiting for him.

"We need to get her some clothes," Liz said matter-of-factly as if he couldn't keep her in a white T-shirt forever.

Ezra shrugged.

"She's got a name, doesn't she?"

"Um, I call her Em, ever so often." He winced.

"Em." She accepted it. Maybe they would all be friends.

OCEAN CITY RP

 It was Valentine's Weekend! Dakota wanted to sleep in, but Fiona had invited her and Nav to brunch. Naturally, she was making the most of a three-day holiday.

"Are you sure you love where you work?" Dakota asked while nursing a cup of coffee while waiting for the rest to come in for an egg bake, biscuits, and a cheesy tater-tot casserole.

"It's good for now. Of course, I don't want to do it forever," Fiona sighed as she put out a fruit salad and veggie tray.

Dakota couldn't resist taking a strawberry. As she bit into it, she asked Fiona if she'd heard from Frankie.

"Not a word." 

Fiona was straight-lipped, but then she let a smile slip, "Maybe she's on a honeymoon or something."

Dakota smiled back with a nod. However, she missed those days when the three got together to hangout. But life was busy with her step-brother, Cole, and his girlfriend, Liz. At least Cole got on as a shelver at the library as if it were beneath him, while Liz was subbing at a law office.

"Are you settling in with Nav?" Fiona asked while the guys were out helping Cole with his car. She said she wasn't sure she was ready to be with Matty all the time. After all, she saw him enough.

"And here I thought you would have moved in with him, already, instead of me and Nav." 

Dakota sipped her coffee, but an impish grin curled her lips as if she was happy to make the move.

"Well, if I had a younger sibling, I would have done the same thing. You're the best big sister in the world." Fiona teased her.

About then, Liz came in with a dish. She'd made homemade sweet rolls.

"Guys, we've got to get going, you know." 

Matty put his hands on both Nav and Cole's shoulders as if they were the three amigos. It was good to have bros. Sadly, he wished Ezra felt the same about them, but since the new job at the University, Ezra had always been a no-show. Still, it didn't stop Matty from inviting him.

"I hear Delia is being quite chatty lately," Matty gave Cole the eye. "You guys spending time with Delia and Han, you know, you guys do anything with them last night?"

This cracked Cole up, "Dude, it was Valentine's Day. I'm pretty sure they didn't need our help." He said on their walk across the parking lot to the Brownstone.

"Yeah, well, you know, we're not all Romeo." He looked to Nav, who just smirked.

"All is good. End of story." Nav informed him. "That leaves you, Matty?"

"Yeah, yeah, it was cozy," he nodded as if he wasn't going to let anything slip, or it might be hell to pay with Fiona. "She's, you know, really into this Friends mode." He shrugged. There was a lot of prepping going on for brunch. But they did have a heart-shaped pizza and binged through Bridgerton. Although he made more fun of it than taking it seriously. Fiona didn't seem to mind.

When they got to the hallway, they saw Han and Delia on their way to Fiona's. Matty was surprised. Could they hold that many people in Fiona's apartment? Delia had a bag of snacks, and Han had an icebox pie with blueberries.

Matty didn't think Han could be that generous. Of course, he didn't really know him, only from comments Fiona had made about Ezra's friend. It seemed so long ago. Maybe Delia was changing him. Perhaps she wasn't as Goth as he thought she was.

Happy Friday the 13th

 

This week has been full of make-ups! We have been having mild days so that is nice. I feel I've had to run around getting Valentine's gifts & even birthday gifts.

I did love the bags I found at 5 Below! They are in florals! So yeah, I got myself something for Valentines day too! & then..there is this doll who has the Skipper face mold on a Barbie doll...that I had been wanting. I can't believe a fashionista from 2018 would be priced at ninety dollars. No, I didn't get that one. Although her hair is not white, but blue.

Meanshile I've been catching up on NETFLIX Dare you to Death. An unlikely BL drama from Thailand. Of course, I went on VIKI and found a few more from this Thai entertainment company. SUMMER NIGHT is like a Thai Degrassi. And there are some great quotes. The FL is Star and everyone loves her in her circle of friends. Of course, she is a teen who's mother is too busy for her while she mothers everyone n the group. Then I found the Thai version of THE LOVE-MIXUP and it's pretty sweet, too.

Here's to a sweet weekend!
