minnie slapped her hand over his mouth as the bouncer retreated, rolling his eyes. “oh my god, will you just stop for one second?” she hissed. they were definitely drawing attention now, all of the wrong kinds, and he was right; there probably was some old viper here now, seething about the recent arrests and looking to take out some anger. when jasper tried to stomp away she grabbed his arm, pulling him against her so she could lift up on her toes and whisper in his ear, close enough not to be overheard. “you’re making a scene. do you want them to have an actual reason to throw you in a cell again? because they’ll do it.” letting him go, she pulled back a little, keeping her hand around his wrist and giving him her best stern, i-mean-business look. “come on,” she said as she tugged him with her, toward the winding, circular stairs that led to the balcony and the private rooms reserved for members and private dances.

        HAND COVERING HIS mouth, he grumbled a few obscenities before huffing, fox-like gaze trained on minnie before his hands flopped by his sides. most of the time, jasper was well spoken even in high times of stress, but the last week had him giving up any self restraint because frankly...he was pissed. his alcohol induced state made it easy for her to pull him back to her, and he paused for a moment as her breath brushed the shell of his ear as she whispered, “minnie, i could breathe the wrong way and they would lock me up.” he admitted with a roll of his eyes before seeing her expression, frowning heavily as he looked down at her. but he followed anyways, blindly through the club and he knew it well enough to know where they were headed. “what, you gonna give me a private dance or something?” he joked, but there wasn’t a smile on his face, instead there was an indifference before he saw a non occupied room and tugged her inside. “what do you want, minnie?”

no, technically this wasn’t a business owned by her family, but they did have significant stakes, not only in the burlesque club, but many of the businesses around it. she was nestled into the private booth she typically occupied, waiting to see if leon or chan would show and entertain her for a bit and nursing a gin and tonic. a commotion near the door had minnie’s head turning, and she spotted the bouncers near one of the booths, shouts coming from that direction. she wasn’t the only one watching with wide eyes, but as minnie kept observing the altercation, she realized that she recognized the furrowed brow, the mouth twisted into a scowl, because that ire had very recently been directed at her. without thinking, minnie stumbled out of the booth and hurried toward jasper and the bouncer, who was now moving forward and attempting to remove him. “wait!” she said, her hands on the bouncer’s outstretched arm to stop him. “he’s with me, i’m so sorry. my friend must have wandered into the wrong booth.” she looked at jasper, imploring him not to keep making a scene with her eyes. “it’s fine, i’ll make sure he doesn’t cause any trouble,” she promised the bouncer, who shrugged and began to back off.

             WHENEVER MINNIE SUDDENLY came into view, jasper clenched his jaw, watching as she seemingly dissolved the situation, but he was still pissed, he watched with a heaving chest as the bouncer stared him down, and the boy didn’t move either, if anything he flashed him a sick smile, “you heard the girl, fuck off.” he spat back before the guy gave up and walked off, making jasper roll his eyes before moving them back onto minnie, he didn’t want to say thank you because of the drunken stubbornness lingering under the surface of his rushing adrenaline. “i wanna know what fuckin’ old ass dickhead wants me outta here, can’t a guy enjoy his night in peace?” he said a bit loudly, hoping to catch the ear of the viper in question before he moved attention once more to minnie, “thanks for playing peacemaker, mins, so kind of you. now, if you’ll excuse me, i have business to attend to.” which involved figuring out who was trying to get him out of here, even if he probably should leave at this point.

        “WHAT THE FUCK is your problem man?!” the security guard came over and had been telling him to leave due to a request of a member of their elite club, his eyes heavily rolling, “what, because some fuckin’ viper is pissed off his buddies plan to fuck me over didn’t work, now i have to go? that’s fuckin’ rich, if he has a problem, he can come over here and say it to my face!” this wasn’t normal behavior from jasper, but with alcohol and bitterness coursing through him the last couple of days, he wasn’t really feeling like himself anyways.

“Yeah you know I was actually planning on booking a facial and mani pedi to ring in the New Year. I’ve even been thinking of taking a vacation to the Bahamas,” Aurora completely jokes with her good friend. The pair made their way to the bar and the blonde puts in her order, choosing something from the specialty menu that looked half decent. “Eh, the goal here is to be hungover tomorrow morning so I might as well drink something expensive, right?”

           “OH NO SHIT? are the girls invited or are you going all out? i can totally baby sit as long as you order us a pizza, that’s my only price.” he joked right back in his typical fashion, playful smile etched onto his lips was ease before he leaned against the bar. all he did was lift his almost empty glass with two fingers to order a fresh one, “damn, you really are on give no fucks night. good, me too, this calls for shots as well i think. one for me being free, and one for you being...free in your own way.”

“that’s not what i’m saying,” she said, her voice softening slightly. minnie tended to get overzealous, especially when her sister was involved. she always had. she’d been the one to defend jewel, to take care of her when she needed someone as they were growing up, but she tended to fall into her role too deeply. often she felt more like a second mother to her younger sister than an actual peer. “i’m sorry, i didn’t mean to yell at you. it’s just…it’s dallas. he’s our friend. i’m sure you didn’t ruin anything, don’t be silly. it’s different with chan, okay? but you’re right, i shouldn’t yell at you when i kissed someone too. i’m sorry.” she leaned forward, chin on her hands as she tried to read jewel’s expression. “so, that was it? you just kissed?”

       AT THIS POINT she’d all but lost her appetite, not that she had much to begin with, when she got in bad moods she tended to merely pick at her food. “it’s fine, i was being an idiot and i made a stupid, impulsive decision but my inkling was right from when i brought it up the other day. he doesn’t see me like that, at least i don’t think. at least now i know, you know?” her brows raised as she looked at minnie, arms crossing over her chest, “and how is it different with chan? because he’s been like, totally heart eyes for you since the beginning?” she asked as if it was obvious, only stabbing a potato with her fork before she nodded, “yep, that’s all me and dallas did.” but that wasn’t the end of her night by a long shot, and she pushed the impaled potato to the other side of her plate.

ugh. holidays. especially the fucking christmas holiday where people seemed to let go of any dignity and fidelity they had left in their sorry little bones, stuffing their dirty mouths with miles of food, bending over at parties for whoever won’t tell, and pretending to like that damn mariah carey song they all blasted this time of year. andrew really couldn’t wait to get back home, put on some metal and play some good ol’ GTA san andreas. unless he chose to go over the paperwork for december. after all he still had some work to do in that area. that’s when a voice so annoyingly familiar filled the otherwise quiet room, the silence almost deafening. he looked up to see jasper smile widely at him. naive boy. “ leaves me to wonder where your help went the other 364 days of the year, “ he grumbled to himself as he began sorting out the alcohol bottle behind the bar counter, “ but sure. you can grab a trash bag and collect all the cups and other shit they left behind. afterwards you can collect glasses and put them by the dishwasher in the back. “ andrew speaking to jasper as if he was actual staff going round after a finished shift.

         “AW, C’MON NOW, i’ve totally helped tidy up....at least one three other accounts.” he tried to recall it in his brain, but jasper simply shrugged his strong shoulders at the guy before leaning against the bar and watching andrew organize the bottles before he told him orders, “where is the rest of your staff anyways, sorta shitty they aren’t here helping out. and, i will help, but first...the shots? my only condition, and you get to join, which honestly is a steal for you. if i ever lose my job at the auto shop, maybe i’ll be a good bar back over here.” jasper rambled on before sighing, sweeping some of the trash with the side of his boot into a small pile on the floor, his voice humming lowly under his breath before his doe eyes found a broom and he rushed over to grab it. “so, andrew, tell me something good. what’s the turn out looking like for the fights this weekend?”

“That’s a good motto to have. Just focus entirely on your love for alcohol, don’t get fixated on any specific kind. That’s when problems start,” he offered, chuckling at his own sentiment. He observed as she took a shot, mesmerized by the effortlessness. “By the looks of things, you don’t seem too bothered.”

        “GOTTA HAVE SOMETHING to hold onto, even if it’s as silly as words. yeah, i guess, at the end of the day tequila is tequila. now, if you were shooting bottom shelf vodka, i would’ve turned that shit down.” the raven haired beauty said, smirking as she licked her lips, looking at the man now with a nod of her head, “takes a lot to bother me, if i’m being honest. why are you here drinking alone? nothing better to do on a thursday night?”

(   @imaginedchaos​   )   /   *   @ huerto de madrid , well after midnight   .

of course , the night to end with a bloody nose. possibly broken , bea wasn’t sure how to tell if it was broken or not. it was definitely injured , and very bloody. not the first time something like this happened , bea just wasn’t expecting it on new year’s eve. holding a finger under her nostrils so as to minimize the trail of blood , the brunette stumbled , with absolutely none of her dignity , back to the bar. “ dude , i need help , ” she announced at the sight of a friendly face , at last. “ i need ice. ”

           THE NIGHT HAD BEEN fairly uneventful, if you didn’t count his crush kissing someone else, and then him kissing his best friend which damn near made him gag. so whenever bea came stumbling towards the bar was a bloody nose, his eyes widened as he met her halfway, “holy shit, bea, what happened?” he asked, worry crossing his face as his hands came out to steady her on either sides of her shoulders, “here, lemme get you a napkin or some shit.” turning back to the bar, he grabbed her some tissues and then told the bartender to get him a cup full of ice. soon enough, he moved back to bea, a little frown on his lips as he held both out to her.

“Trust me, I don’t want to be truly be younger than I already am, no need for me to relive my teen years,” she shakes her head. God, she was so stupid and naive back in the day, but she was just happy she was well past those moments in her life.  “Yeah, sure, sounds like a solid plan. I am still very much sober and that is something that needs to change stat. Maybe I’ll get a fun little cocktail like you have right now?”

             “YEAH I THINK MOST of us wouldn’t want to go back to those days, myself included for sure.” his youth wasn’t exactly a highlight of his life, although his later teens held more fond memories, everything else was nightmare fuel. “you really wanna sip cocktails? what happened to my brash little aurora? is this a new years resolution?” he couldn’t help but joked, nudging her before his hand rested comfortably along her lower back to guide them to the bar.

laurel looked to where zane was pointing, and it was clear who he was talking about. the blonde was practically glowing under the low light, exuding an easy confidence that only came from knowing you had every person in a room under your thumb. she was the type of girl laurel would stammer and stutter and embarrass herself in front of if she ever got a chance… no wonder zane had fucked it. “that’s her? oh my god, i’m actually really impressed. never in a million years did i think you’d be able to pull someone like that,” she said. she realized that she was probably being a little mean, but zane didn’t come to her to be coddled. he came to her because neither of them had any other real friends. “who says you don’t stand a chance? maybe she’s super into personality. you can’t just give up because there’s a little bit of competition. winning is the best part.”

      IT WAS HARD NOT TO stare at the blonde, feeling more disappointed in believing that he stood a chance when it was clear he didn’t. girls like her didn’t give guys like him a chance, he knew that. “well technically i didn’t pull her, she thinks i’m some weird virgin guy who was too scared to make a move on her.” and in a sense he was scared, but not because he wasn’t confident in himself, but more so that once the moment was over, he wouldn’t ever see her again. “she’s a viper, laurel. look at all those people around her, what am i supposed to do? i feel like some love struck puppy but, i dunno, i think she’s really interesting. but i’m pretty sure i blew my chance anyways, so, let’s just get fucked up and i won’t have to stress over it.”

        HE COULDN’T REALLY hide the disappointment on his face, going from the elated feeling of a post orgasmic haze to feeling like the rug was pulled out from under his feet, landing him flat on his ass. all he could do was stand there with the pillows hanging in his hands on either side of him, nibbling at the inside of his cheek as his gaze moved back over to her, “yeah, no, i mean….you wouldn’t be but, i get it.” he murmured, he’d been childish to assume it would’ve been a good idea, that they could possibly end the night falling asleep together without it only leaving them both even more confused when the morning came. besides, the last time he fell asleep over at her place, the morning after was a nightmare. as she walked closer to him, his jaw nervously clenched as he eyes dragged over his body, and while he was normally confident he felt a bit embarrassed by the lack of clothes. something akin to rejection settling into his body, he felt a sad smile lingering on his own lips, “it’s fine, i understand.” he murmured, but even if he understood it still didn’t mask the feeling that lingered under the surface. “i don’t want to complicate things either, i’m sorry.” his voice grow soft as rain, a heaviness weighing on his shoulders as he paused at the feeling of her arms wrapping around his bare waist, enveloping him in a hug that he took a moment to shortly return, hands rubbing circled into her back before letting her go. “just let me know that you made it home safe, it’s late, and…you’re not exactly on your own territory.” pausing, he pushed her hair behind her ear, eyes scanning her face with a nod of his head as if communicating without saying much, “thank you, for tonight.”

she was grateful that he didn’t push her away. this was new territory for both of them, but she excused it by telling herself that they were friends. it was okay. clearly, they’d both needed to release some of the built up tension, and tonight had done that, but it had also fanned the spark that had never fully died between them, and now minnie worried that soon she’d have a full-blown forest fire on her hands if she didn’t play this careful. still, she leaned into the hug, her face pressed to his chest and inhaling his familiar scent for one more moment. “please don’t apologize. i think we both needed…whatever that was,” she said. when they pulled away, she shrugged her purse onto her shoulder, leaning her cheek into his hand as he pushed her hair back, eyes closing for a moment to enjoy the simple touch. “i’ll be careful. i promise.” she took the opportunity to reach up on her tiptoes and press a soft whisper of a kiss to his left cheek, right on top of the scar again, and then she was gone out the door.

“ i was wondering where the fuck you were. ” she feigned ignorance , popping a mini quiche into her mouth in a less-than-ladylike fashion. “ i thought you skipped town and forgot to tell me , you jerk. ” playfully , she slapped his arm as punishment for this made up scenario. “ all jokes aside , it’s good to have you back. so cheers to that. ”

            “YEAH YOU KNOW, the usual, sitting in jail for being accused of murder. same shit, different day.” he explained nonchalantly, as if he wasn’t terrified at the idea that he could’ve been sent to life in prison. “eh, i don’t think i could forget about you bumble bea.” jasper joked playfully, rubbing his arm from where she smacked him, flashing her one of his classic crooked smiles, “thanks, seriously, it’s good to be here. let’s hope next year the bullshit dies down.” but he knew it was unlikely, still, he raised his glass to her before knocked back a hefty gulp.

“why would you even kiss dallas? wil is one thing, jewel, but dally?” minnie would never want to see her sister suffer, had gone to great pains in her life to ensure that it didn’t happen, but she wholeheartedly believed that jewel deserved every minute of the hangover she was clearly still grappling with. serves her right. “it’s dallas. he’s not going to take it as some fun joke you can just laugh off. what if this makes everything awkward between all of us?”

  “YOU KNOW IF i had known that you invited me here just to further drill in the fact that i’m an idiot, i wouldn’t have come.” jewel admitted with a mutter, shaking her head as bit, but only wincing in response to the slight pounding in her head. sighing, she dropped her fork and pushed her plate away, “i kissed him for good luck because it was new years, and then he kissed me again, and...it was nice. really nice.” she explained, looking down at her plate now with a frown, “but like i said, he walked away, it was just a misunderstanding and it’s clear that whatever happened wasn’t even a big deal for him, if anything i ruined it and i get it, okay? you kissed chan and you don’t see me chastising you for it.”

thank god for bottomless mimosas. she was going to need an entire pitcher and more for the lashing she was about to give jewel as she sat down. “where’d you go last night? you looked awfully cozy with dallas. let me guess, you two left together?”

           AFTER THE LAST FEW hours, jewel felt all but dead inside as she propped her chin up in the palm of her hand, the other one only pushing her food around on her plate as she sighed, “i went back to my guest house.” it was the truth, and she glanced back to her sister with a pout, “we didn’t. we kissed, he walked off after, and it’s all so confusing i don’t even know what to make of all of it.” the girl pushed the sunglasses she was wearing up and onto the top of her head, already seeing the scolding look on her older sister’s face.

her shoulders drooped a little as she listened to his plan to build their own blanket nest on the floor, the gesture so very soft and pleasant and jasper that for a moment she wavered in her decision not to stay. but the fact that she wanted to linger so badly only solidified her resolve that going was the right decision. “i did, i did,” she assured him, nodding. she was already dreading going home, sleeping in her california king by herself with nothing but her thoughts echoing off the walls to keep her company. “i mean, i still do, but i just think i should probably go. i don’t want to overstay my welcome,” she explained, because i was easier to say than, i don’t want to give myself false hope. she stood up and took one cautious step toward him, her eyes darting down again. his body was impossible to ignore, the art that covered him and the hard lines of muscles she enjoyed every opportunity to appreciate. minnie’s eyes went back to his face, giving him an apologetic smile. “i just… that was really nice. it was perfect, honestly, but it’s not what i came here for, and i’m afraid that if i spend the night, and we sleep together…in the same bed, not like that, but i’m afraid it might confuse things. and i don’t want to mess anything up. not when we’re just figuring out how to be friends again,” she told him. she reached for him, moving closer so she could slip her arms around his waist and hug him. “thank you. i mean it.”

        HE COULDN’T REALLY hide the disappointment on his face, going from the elated feeling of a post orgasmic haze to feeling like the rug was pulled out from under his feet, landing him flat on his ass. all he could do was stand there with the pillows hanging in his hands on either side of him, nibbling at the inside of his cheek as his gaze moved back over to her, “yeah, no, i mean....you wouldn’t be but, i get it.” he murmured, he’d been childish to assume it would’ve been a good idea, that they could possibly end the night falling asleep together without it only leaving them both even more confused when the morning came. besides, the last time he fell asleep over at her place, the morning after was a nightmare. as she walked closer to him, his jaw nervously clenched as he eyes dragged over his body, and while he was normally confident he felt a bit embarrassed by the lack of clothes. something akin to rejection settling into his body, he felt a sad smile lingering on his own lips, “it’s fine, i understand.” he murmured, but even if he understood it still didn’t mask the feeling that lingered under the surface. “i don’t want to complicate things either, i’m sorry.” his voice grow soft as rain, a heaviness weighing on his shoulders as he paused at the feeling of her arms wrapping around his bare waist, enveloping him in a hug that he took a moment to shortly return, hands rubbing circled into her back before letting her go. “just let me know that you made it home safe, it’s late, and...you’re not exactly on your own territory.” pausing, he pushed her hair behind her ear, eyes scanning her face with a nod of his head as if communicating without saying much, “thank you, for tonight.”

minnie’s eyes drifted closed as his lips pressed to the crown of her head for a brief flash, and then he was gone, his weight gone off of her. she smiled at him when he looked back at her before disappearing into his room, feeling perfectly content, and she was dangerously close to drifting off to sleep, but the nagging voice in the back of her mind told her that would be a bad idea. once he was gone, minnie sat up, trying to collect herself. she pulled her skirt back down and straightened out the sweater that was falling off of one shoulder, and began smoothing down her hair. she wanted to lay back down, maybe doze off for a few hours, but there was a part of her that was still aching for more, despite how sated she felt. sleeping in the same bed, even laying on the couch together would probably end poorly for them. she worried, too, as she stood and started to collect her things, that sleeping over might send the wrong message. she was so happy that they were friends again, that they could talk and she got a little piece of him for her own, and she didn’t want to ruin it by asking for more than he could give. what they’d done on the couch was pushing the boundaries of friendship. if she asked to sleep over, there was a chance that he would go running in the opposite direction, a risk minnie didn’t want to take. she was sliding her phone back into her purse, sitting on the couch, when he entered the room again. “i should probably get going,” she told him, pulling her purse up into her lap to hide the odd splotches that not dotted the fabric of her skirt. “i brought a lot of food for bad bunny. when you give it to her, let me know if she likes the kohlrabi. and not too many carrots, it’s just a little treat,” she reminded him. “we’re… okay, right? me and you?”

        WHEN HE GOT INTO his room, the only things on his mind was the sound of voice saying his name and that smile he caught on her lips as he was walking, but he suddenly realized his dilemma and chuckled. “jesus, what are you doin’ dude?” scrambling for something clean in his room, he found some grey sweat shorts, skimming the middle of his thigh, alongside some underwear this time now that he had some forethought. his slightly damp hair now pulled back into a bun, he glanced a this reflection with a shrug before walking out with a few more pillows, “okay, we can totally move the coffee table out of the way and make this little like area on the floor and-” pausing as he saw her sitting up with her purse in her lap, his smile all but fell off his face with a curious expression now clear on his face, “wait, you’re leaving?” the disappointed with easily detected in his tone, brows pushing together while walking towards her and placing the pillows on the arm of the couch, “uh yeah, i will, for sure?” all the sudden embarrassment coursed through him, hands sliding into his pockets as he glanced to the ceiling as he pondered his words, “i mean, yeah, i’m...fine. i just, i thought you wanted to stay so i’m just...confused but, it’s fine. do you need anything, before you go? i think i have some water in the fridge, uh...” he stalling to make her stay, as he lingered by the edge of the couch, nibbling on the inside of his cheek.
