      ponytail batting against her neck, eloisa kept a firm pace on her jog, enjoying the embrace of the sun’s rays against her exposed skin from wearing a sports bra and shorts. she always felt solace and comfort being active. that was until she felt a force interrupt her own thoughts. taking out a headphone and gazing over at the male who had collided with her, eloisa composed herself. “ you could see my eyes from all the way over there ?  nice try, ” she scoffed teasingly, tightening her ponytail as the fellow runner made his request. her startled face soon smoothened out to a reluctant grin at the mention of eating. “ you should have started with that. don’t you know that food is the way to every jogger’s heart ? ” her lips pursed in contemplation. “ sure, why not ? ”

while ben fully believed in staying active, he would have rather been in the gym, boxing with his coach. however, after a quick stop to said gym, he found out his coach was out for the day and was told to just jog instead. which was something that ben groaned about, but here he was, finishing up a jog that was far longer than he’d planned. “you never know, i could have the best eyesight in the world.” he told her with a playful wink, raising a brow. “food is the way into a lot of people’s hearts, mine included.” he chuckled, nodding his head lightly. “i’ll be sure to keep that in mind next time i happen to ‘accidentally’ bump into you on the street.” he teased, the smirk trying to pull it’s way back onto his lips. “even though i’m paying, you get to choose where we’re going. got anywhere in mind?”

       days of for tasia were usually spent blowing off money that wasn’t hers. when in her rebellion state during high school the blonde refused any money that her parents tried & attempted to send her way. or rather she would’ve if they ever thought to send her money. –ever since she had left the void of eden she had been receiving weekly payments from her parents & tasia knew damn well that they were trying to bribe her to take over the fashion business. no way did she want to & no way did she want to think about how she was abusing their money at this point. in a blink of an eye though, she didn’t have to worry about it all. instead her sea green eyes were focused on the male that had bumped into her, her thoughts were wild with all the things she could say back to him. but she kept her pink pursed lips shut as he rattled on about going to eat. “ i’m sorry, but if you just got done jobbing i would rather not go out to eat with you. not right now anyways. you’re all sweaty & whatnot, right ? —- plus, ” in a single motion tasia lifted the shopping bags she was holding hardly up in the air, “ —– i have to take these home. ” 

even though ben had more days off than not, taking mostly weekend shifts at the nightwing, his days off seemed to be far more boring than he would have liked. back home he would have been out doing something more exciting than jogging, hell, he probably would have been half way past drunk at this point if he was back at home. but he wasn’t, meaning there wasn’t a whole hell of a lot for him to do in carmel. so he spent most of his days off at the gym or at home watching movies or playing video games and honestly? that killed his spirit. sure, he had night where he went out and had fun like he would have back at home, but to less of a degree because there wasn’t as much of a nightlife here as there was back at home. “fair enough.” he said, glancing down at his gray shirt, noticing the darker patches from where he had sweat. “it’d be different if this was caused by something other then jogging, but i see your point.” he continued, nodding his head before holding his hand out for one of her bags. “how about this, i’ll help you with your bags, go home and get cleaned up and then come pick you back up afterwards? but if you agree to this, just know to put on your best dress.”

kareenas:

normally, kareena would have burst in laughter with his proposition, but she had just finished a gruelling, long shift and the idea of some company & of course food sounded too tempting. the chuckle that she had been trying to stifle escaped her lips and she nodded in agreement, even though his smug smirk was kind of making her want to punch him in his handsome face. “only because you picked the oldest pick up line on the book, i’m going to order the most expensive thing on the menu.” it was now her turn to smirk, her expression almost mimicking his. “shall we?”

he wasn’t even sure why he’d blurted out the line, however, the action truly didn’t surprise him. he had always been on the flirtatious side, and when someone who looked like her happened to be standing in front of him, he figured why not give it a shot? “just because it’s one of the oldest, doesn’t mean it isn’t a decent line. however, that’s fine, i’m sure i can manage the bill. in fact, to go with your expensive meal i’ll get us and even more expensive bottle of wine or champagne. work for you?” he asked, brow raising slightly as he held his arm out. “what are you in the mood for? italian or greek? or something else entirely?”

ofedcn:

‘ you can’t make a costume with a brace look hot, that’s why, ’  she mused, shaking her head slightly. eden could only imagine the outcome of an attempt of it. ‘ anyone could pull it off if they were drunk enough really but i don’t suppose i can blame you for not wanting to try it, doesn’t quite seem like your thing. ’  she smiled at the almost compliment he gave her, even if it wasn’t intentional. ‘ oh, i’m sure i’ll still be around. maybe not dancing, but i can’t let the place get too boring without me. ’

“that’s not entirely true.” ben started with a raise of his brow. “depending on the size of the brace you could get knee high or thigh high boots big enough to pretty much make that brace go unnoticed.” he continued, shrugging his shoulders. “while i like looking at the dancers, i’m not so certain i’d be as good as them. i might have the looks part down, but.. not the rest of it.” he said with a chuckle. “i’m sure they’ll let you behind the bar, which means i can teach you how to make any and every drink you could dream of. might even let you pick the drink of the night once or twice.”

       “ so is this girl still cute even though she had danny devito on her hips now ? ” there’s a smirk lain across jiahao’s lips as they’re hoping they totally ruined the image of this girl to the other. “ i would love to give you her number, but she’s very set on this ‘ soulmate ’ guy & no offense but you don’t look like danny at all. ” the smirk has melted into a smile, & a big one at that in hopes that jiahao doens’t break out into laughter any time soon. “ maybe she does, maybe she doesn’t. she looked pretty young, but she could’ve been like thirty or around there at least. there’s always the off chance that she did know who danny was but didn’t feel the need to comment on the fact that it was him. there are six or seven other people in the world who look almost like you anyways. ”

“considering i don’t think a tattoo makes you less attractive unless it’s something ridiculously obscene, i’d say so. i’m sure there’s a lot of people who would be able to look past a danny devito tattoo, myself included.” ben replied with a small shrug of his shoulders. he had no idea what the girl even looked like, she he knew he couldn’t judge her appearance no matter what the situation was. “none taken, and honestly, i think she’d be better off without my number if she’s into the idea of soulmates in general.” he said, the honestly in his words evident by his tone of voice. he wasn’t one for ‘soulmates’, hell, he wasn’t even one for ‘relationships’ at the moment, but that didn’t need to be said right now. “doesn’t matter if she’s young or old, or if she knows it’s danny or not. she’s got it on her body now for good, so i’m sure if she didn’t know who it was, someone will probably break the news to her eventually. don’t you think?” he asked, his brow raising slightly. “and to think my mother loved to tell me i was one of a kind.”

y-mck:

mok paused, brows raising as he stuffed his hands into the pocket of his thrasher hoodie. “i hope you know that for making me hear those corny ass words come out of your mouth, i’m gonna pick the most expensive shit on the menu plus dessert.” he said, his tone teasing although honestly? he was being completely serious. “has that ever gotten you laid? just curious.”

“how expensive can mcdonald’s truly be? because as i recall, i didn’t specify where we would be eating.” benjamin teased, his own brow raising at the other with a smug grin. “only joking, i may not have any issues with mcdonald’s, but that is not what i want at all right now.” he continued, shrugging his shoulders lightly. “you’d be surprised. however, most of the time, the pick up lines had nothing to do with me actually getting laid. perks of being semi-famous.”

soulrebelliovs:

     as usual, he wasn’t exactly paying attention to where he was going. therefore, he wasn’t surprised when he felt his shoulder bumped against someone else’s. his lips parted to apologize, yet he was interrupted by a terrible pick up line that earned a roll of eyes.  “ i suggest you try a better one next time. ”  he spoke, with a small smirk on his lips. upon hearing his question, an eyebrow rose, as he considered the invitation; even though he already knew what his answer would be.  “ well, i can’t turn down free food, can i ? besides, after that awful pick up line, how could i ever say NO ? ”

ben could tell that before he’d started with his pick up line, the other was trying to apologize, which of course almost caused ben to chuckle. he’d been the one to bump into the other, he was the one that should have apologized, but apologizing would have meant it was an accident. “damn, i thought that one would work too. remind me to go back over the book of pick up lines i have sitting in my room.” he replied with a teasing tone, shaking his head slightly. “i mean, you could. but if you’re anything like me, that’d be an absolute sin. i’d be a little offended if you said no after i put all that effort into such a horrible pick up line.” the words that left his lips were paried with a smirk of his own. “now, since you can’t tell me no, what are you in the mood for?”

laceymariebellerose:

lacey walked down the street, holding shopping bags in both hands as she did. she had gone to get the supplies for the dinner she was making for her cousins who were in town to visit her for the week. they were there partially to get her approval on a release date for her new single, but also just for a visit. her mind wandered until she was bumped into, clearly rather purposefully. “don’t worry about bumping into me, besides it’s hard not to get lost around here.” she said, blatantly ignoring his flirtations. “maybe try that again sometime, only slower.” lacey laughed. “well if you let me drop these bags in my car first then i’d love to go get something to eat.” 

ben had always been one to pay attention to detail, meaning that once he’d spotted someone familiar, he noticed the bags she had in both of her hands, quickly trying to asses the contents so that he could figure out just how gently he needed to ‘bump’ into her without having her lose her grip or have something from one of the said bags fall out onto the concrete. which was why the bump wasn’t one that would have been an accident, those tended to cause messes or cause people to fall over and he didn’t want that at all. “been here for a while, wasn’t lost. just wasn’t really paying as much attention as i should have been?” he said, raising a brow at her with a small nod. “i’ll make you an even better deal, i’ll help you with these and then we can go. would feel like a jackass if i just stood here and watched you carry both of you bags to you car.”

pvpers:

the last thing on piper’s mind was social interaction with anyone , they wanted to get home immediately and return to their secluded lifestyle after having to deal with people all day at work. they had headphones in, playing a mix of acoustics to help wind down for the night, as they walked down the street quietly. she was startled when someone had bumped into them and yanked out both earbuds quickly. ❝ are you, uh, okay ? ❞ she stuttered upon hearing him compliment her and took a tentative step backwards, ❝ that sounds, uh, lovely, really, but i’d rather not. besides, there’s nothing wrong with sharing a meal alone. gotta treat yourself, right ? ❞

for some reason, ben seemed to thrive on social interaction. he wasn’t sure if it had to do with the fact he hated growing up mostly alone, or if his acting career and all the events he had to go to made it to where he liked being around people... well, mostly. even someone like him had his days where he just wanted to be alone. so he understood wanted to be alone, but now? now was not one of those days for him. “i- yeah? sorry, didn’t mean to catch you off guard. are you okay?” he asked, quirking his brow in slight concern. “no, nothing wrong with eating alone.. done it a million and one times.” he said, shaking his head as he gave piper a shrug of his shoulders. “that’s alright, was just an idea anyways. i, um, can walk you home, if you’d like?”

[benjvmins-blog]

benjamin had been out for a run when he noticed someone familiar on the other side of the road, causing a smirk to form on his features as he started to make his way towards them. however, once he caught up, he ‘accidentally’ bumped there shoulder with his own, halting in his tracks with a stupid smirk on his face. “sorry about that, wasn’t paying attention to where i was going. guess i got lost in your eyes.” he said, the smirk still evident on his features before a shrug left his shoulders. “now that i’ve gotten that horrible mess of a pick up line out of the way, come eat with me? i just jogged about five miles which means i’m starving and i don’t really want to go to a restaurant alone. i’m buying, of course.”

[benjvmins-blog]

“i agree with you there, but if we all got our way, what fun would that be for then?” he asked, raising a brow at the girl with a slight sigh. he would have loved to have one of his pets with him, but it wasn’t even the rules of the place that made it to where he wasn’t allowed to have his pets. it was because of his parents. they basically told him he had to leave then behind as part of his ‘lesson’ on becoming better. “who knows why they make the rules the way they make the rules. probably has something to do with money and whatnot, what everything usually revolves around, right?” ben mused, mostly to himself but he had hoped it might have helped. “look, i’m sorry they didn’t let you keep your fish, but i’m sure that there’s someway of getting your fish to be around in the area but not in the living quarters or something like that? i don’t know, not good with these kind of ideas, honestly.”

‘ i don’t think it should be against violation to have a pet in your living quarters . . ’ giving a pertinent shake of her head, nude digits drag through brunet tresses as a temporary bust from her melancholic drawl that aimlessly pursued & thrusted through rosy brims, into the parlor’s ambience. silk kimono pooled at the french’s elbows, silhouette lolled across one of three artist’s chairs as her red tinted nose was met with the plush of a tissue & a frivolous pout resulted. ‘ i mean, he was a fish of GOLD. he has no teeth & one fin’s smaller than the other. he wasn’t causing harm .. y’know ? he quite liked jane austen, he was a keeper. ’ thumbing over the top of the now, empty wine bottle, the sweet nectar mimicking a foolish gloss stain, with the late duration continuous.

“if there’s one thing i like listening to, it’s stories about cute girls, so trust me when i tell you i’m all ears.” benjamin replied, a small smirk trying to pull it’s way onto his lips as he focused in on the story. the second he heard that the girl wanted a tattoo that resembled something she’d seen out of the foam of her latte, he let out an incredulous groan, rolling his eyes slightly. however, with the way life was now, it wasn’t all that much of a surprise, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t be just a little judgmental of the fact that someone would want a coffee tattoo. sure, he wasn’t really one to talk, he had tons of meaningless tattoos scattered across his skin, but that tattoo, that was something else. “didn’t her mother tell her never to get a guy permanently inked onto her skin? i thought that was common sense.” he shrugged, his brows raising in surprise over who the guy ended up being. “yikes. well, with the way you described her, sounds like all she watches is the kardashians and dance moms. which isn’t a ‘bad’ thing, really, just means she was shut off from the rest of the world.”

       “ — just hear me out okay ? so this girl came in today - long brown hair, cute denim jacket - she was cute. she was so excited to get a tattoo today. she told me that she wanted to just skip the meeting in which we talked about where her tattoo would be, how big it would be, pain, time length, & all that good shit. so i was like ‘ okay cool. i hope that this girl is 100% sure ’. & so i asked her what she wanted me to permanently put on her body & she holds out her coffee & takes the top off going ‘ so i got a latte & they made the foam look like a guy & i swear to god he’s my soulmate so i want it tattooed on me so i can find him later on ’. i looked down at the coffee & told her alright - because i could totally see the face. i don’t know how old the girl was, or if she watched television, but i can’t hope but WONDER if she knows the face in her coffee was danny devito or not. kudos to the person who made her latte. ”

“now the normal person would congratulate you on this feat, you should know that i am not normal, nor do i think ‘regular’ life is for me. so while your feat is a good one, i’ll stick to having fun.” benjamin replied, quirking a brow at her with a slight smirk. “i am quite proud of you for that, however, you could have come to me and i would have gotten you something way more expensive for free.”

“ now — what i am about to say may come as a surprise to you, but i have gone a full twenty-four hours without even thinking about taking a xanax. yes, you could say i’m becoming a new person. i even congratulated myself by drinking an entire bottle of grey goose i stole from the black cat. aren’t you proud i didn’t take something more expensive? ”

[benjvmins-blog]

“what happens when i tell you i was looking for this room specifically?” he asked, pointing to the stupid plastic name tag they were ‘supposed’ to wear. “did you really? or did someone do it by ‘accident’ trying to get your number from you?” he chuckled, raising a brow. “however, we could totally talk to the owner about having a ‘shirtless saturday’ for the mixologists so that we get better tips than the dancers on one evening.”

‘ if you’re looking for the bathroom it’s down the hall. ’ marco snickered , pulling his t-shirt over his head. it was pretty common for the employee room to be confused with the restrooms , even more common where you work in a place full of drunk people. ‘ i spilled tequila on my shirt , i’ll be outside to make drinks shortly. ’

[benjvmins-blog]

“i’m surprised they didn’t try to make a costume around a brace or something like that, wouldn’t put it past them to try.” ben replied, raising a brow at her as a chuckle passed through his lips. “i’m thankful you think i have enough grace to do what you do, but i think i’ll stick to make the drinks that gets all the people drunk.” he said, shrugging his shoulder slightly. “kinda disappointed we won’t be seeing you around though, work will be more dull.”

‘ i sprained my ankle at work which basically means i’m out of a job for a few weeks – you wanna fill in for me ?  we don’t look anything alike but everyone in there would be too drunk to tell anyway. ’  there’s a hopeful grin on her lips despite the fact that eden is totally teasing, quirking an eyebrow as if to suggest she’s serious. ‘ you can keep my tips. ’

[benjvmins-blog]

“hm?” ben hummed, his eyes traveling from the bottle of alcohol in his hand over to the other male, his brow raising at the smirk he saw growing on the other’s features. if ben knew anything, smirks like that meant trouble, and where there was trouble, ben was usually involved somehow. however, the question that left the other’s lips caused a laugh to leave his own. “depends on if she’s a wine or champagne kinda gal, whatever the answer is, i’ve got good shit that will guarantee that happens for you.” he said, a smirk pulling on his own lips. “however, if it does work, you’ve got to get her friend over here for me.”

“QUICK question,” he says, a large smirk forming on the brunet’s face as he does so. hazel hues lazily moving from the person back to the object of his affection, “how much do you THINK it’d take for me to get that pretty blond over there to suck me off? she’s been eyeing me for a while, so i’m positive she already wants to.”
