Mine Chapter 1: Homecoming
It felt like the billionth-mile marker you had passed on the way to your new apartment. “Almost home, just three more hours to go.” you quietly encouraged your tired self after 18 hrs on the road. You miss the warm kiss of the Florida sun and the palm trees gently swaying in the cool breeze of the beach. The open road ahead was brimming with new possibilities but the closer you came to home, the more daunting it all became. Your hands nervously gripped the steering wheel as you took a deep breath in and slowly out. “It’s the right choice, new job, new era, just with familiar people...It was the right call.” You muttered to yourself, doing your best to quiet the insecure thoughts with your favorite podcast.
You had loved Seattle- absolutely adored it. Your job was amazing, and your apartment beautiful, but tainted. So you pushed through an extra six months after calling off the engagement in an attempt to make the city your own, only to realize you had outgrown it. You had outgrown that relationship too, gave him so many damn chances to fess up about his dubious behavior but drew the line when you serendipitously found a red lacey thong under his bed.
*RINGGG* your phone blared through your train of thought, consequently yanking you back to earth. “Hey, girl! How’s the road?” Michele had been ecstatic at the recent news of your return and proud that you had split with Sam. He was what she often referred to as a “pinche cabron” (fucking idiot). After all, Michele was not the type of person to keep her thoughts to herself. She was always intuitive and strong. Her shoulder being the one you’d lean on time and time again.
“It’s…long” you laughed nervously, “Can’t wait to get my hands on a Cubano and some Tostones.”
“Oh my god! That’s right, you’ve been deprived! I’ll pick some up for us and swing by your new place. Just send me your new address and ETA.”
“You’re an angel! Thank you!” you chirped, your voice betraying your efforts to mask the anxiety boiling up in your chest.
“Hey… you okay?” 
Nothing gets past this woman.
A deep sigh relieves the tension in your body while you shift in your seat, stretching your aching back. “Yeah, just getting in my head. Coming home is the right call…right?”. You almost felt defeated, like you moved across the country and came back with nothing to show for it.
“Absolutely! Honestly, after everything that happened. I don’t blame you. I would’ve done the same thing. You know what? I know just what you need. We’re going out.” 
Tumblr media
The next few days were a blur. The moving boxes in your living room were now nearly gone thanks to Michele and a couple of other friends and family that had stopped by to welcome you back home. Thank goodness for their help, your body was so tired from the trip, it didn’t dawn on you until last night that you’d start your new Speech Language Pathologist Assistant (SLPA) job at the speech clinic the next day. 
The clinic had more Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) and SLPAs than you were used to but that was a blessing honestly. After a day of orientation and introductions, you really felt like you had landed on your feet. The sense of familiarity eased your new job jitters. The lead therapist showed you to your office and you began setting your room up with materials and games for the patients you’d be seeing that day. Lindsay, the sweet SLPA whose office was across from yours, briefly introduced herself and gave you a heads-up about the patients on your schedule. She passed along her notes on the patients who she had seen previously. Their preferences in toys, games, and their progress toward their goals.
“Thank you so much, Lindsay. This is a huge help!” 
“No problem, who’s first on your schedule?”
Your hands scrambled through your notes. “Umm…Camila Morales. Have you done therapy with her before?”
“Nope, must be an initial visit. She’s a little one too, says she’s only 3 years old on her evaluation.”
“Oh, okay. Thanks!” You said as you turned on your heel and continued preparing for the session.
Should be fine. Just interviewing the parent, going over goals, letting the patient get to know me… I got this.
You grabbed your patient’s chart at the front desk as the 9 o’clock patients signed in. Lindsay nudged your side and nodded in the direction of the reception desk as a handsome man in a cap grabbed a pen and a clipboard. “I think that’s your patient being signed in”. With a slight nod, you made your way to meet your first patient of the day. 
“Camila Morales” you called into the waiting room.
Camila slowly and carefully climbed off the waiting room chair as she heard her name. Her dark chocolate curls gathered into two ponytails bouncing as she made her way to greet you.
 “You must be Camila! I’m your speech teacher, it’s so nice to meet you. I’m so excited to show you all the toys we will use for your therapy session today.” You chirped sweetly as you crouched down to her eye level. The corners of her lips slightly curved into a sheepish smile as she held her father’s hand and a light blue stuffed bunny in the other.  
“Morning, Miss. Sorry about Bunzy, she refuses to go just about anywhere without him” he explained. 
Your gaze met the deep brown eyes of the man in the cap. His gaze was strong but warm, his smile immediately charming. “Good morning! Oh please don’t worry, it won’t be a bother.” You give him your name and stretch out your hand “You must be Mr. Morales.” 
“Oh, no. I’m not, uh… I’m Santiago…Santiago Garcia, Cami’s godfather. Fish asked me to bring Cami to her first appointment. He got caught up at work but he’ll be here for the next session.” He breathed. He settled in the chair in your office, watching as Cami eagerly darted to the Dollhouse you brought out for her, already making herself comfortable much to his content.
It took you a moment to register what Santiago said. “Oh, I’m so sorry! I assumed you were her father. Um…did you say Fish?” You said as you grinned at the odd pet name and looked over Camila’s file.
He let out a slight chuckle “I did… My apologies, I meant Mr. Morales...old habits, I guess” he shrugged in awe at himself using a prefix before his best friend’s last name. The way it rolled off his tongue, was unnatural, like a fish out of water.
“Ah,” you smiled, “Got it. Well, today is going to be a pretty easygoing session. I just want to get to know her, let her get to know me, and we will go over her speech goals” You took a packet of speech delay information that you usually handed out to parents and handed them to Santiago. “Please pass along this information to Mr. Morales.. Can you tell me more about Camila?”
Santiago filled you in on Cami’s favorite games, songs, books, and toys. He knew her first words and how frustrated she would get when she could not communicate her wants and needs. He knew Cami quite well and talked about her as if she was his own. She was so comfortable with him, it was easy to see that they had a strong bond. As predicted, the session was a breeze and soon enough Cami was waving goodbye to you as Santiago carried a giggling Cami down the hall, praising her for earning a glittery unicorn sticker. You swear you could hear his smile as he said “Te portaste muy bien preciosa” (You behaved so well, lovely girl).
Tumblr media
It was the 5th attempt at coming up with an outfit tonight. The clock was ticking and you knew you were behind schedule. Michele was on her way and she was never one to be late. The room was a mess and your clothes were everywhere. You glanced at your phone which read 8:50 pm. The time pressuring you to settle on a pair of black distressed wide-leg jeans, block-heeled sandals, and a cowl neck camisole. 
Oh my god! Michele is going to kill me. I haven't even done my makeup!
You went for an easy look, foundation, blush, mascara, light shadow, and eyeliner. Not trying to impress anyone tonight, It was a girl's night after all. As you applied the finishing touches to your make-up, you heard the front door that you had left unlocked anticipating Michele’s arrival, creak open. Soon after, her steps echoed down the hall leading to your bathroom.
Shit, out of time. 
“G’damn, mujer, you’re not ready?” She leaned, arms crossed against the door frame.
Your makeup brush hit the vanity and your hands swung up at the sound of her voice, “I’m ready, I swear... I’m ready” You giggled.
“Okay, Slothy McSlothson. I hope you stocked up your fridge with Pedialite cause we’re probably gonna need it later” she chided “I’ll put in the Lyft request and let the other girls know we’ll be heading out soon”
“You sneaky girl! I’ve been rushing thinking it was pre-scheduled!” a playful scoff leaving your mouth.
“What? I know you! I knew you were gonna run late, so I figured I’d get the Lyft when I got to your place.” She shrugged and reached for the bottle of Gin she brought for you and mixed it with mango juice. 
“Here, I thought we’d pregame before the Lyft gets here. I know you can get a little nervous going out sometimes.”
A small gasp left you, “My little Cuban hero, thanks!” eagerly taking the cup and taking a sip, “Where are we going anyway?”
“Oh, you’ll see.”
Tumblr media
You heard excited squeals as you walked into the lively Cuban bar, the upbeat Salsa filling the space, almost drowning out their enthusiastic embraces. The friends you hadn’t seen in a few years, Crystal, Lexi, and Naomi, ran up to hug you and Michele. After ordering your drinks you sat at a table near the folding window of the bar. They caught you up on their love lives, work, and family. You tried hard to keep the attention on them and not on your failed engagement but it was only a matter of time before it came up.
“Wait, why are we the only ones talking… what happened with Sam?” Crystal asked.
In an instant Michele looked up at you after taking a sip of her drink, attempting to read your expression to know if she needed to change the subject or not. She could read you like a book. 
Your gaze met hers, “It’s fine” you waived her off “Things with Sam are done, turns out he wasn’t as committed to me or the idea of spending the rest of his life with one person.” 
“Awe shit” Lexi added, “so that means..”
“Yep, found a little souvenir his girl left behind” They all groaned, almost in unison.
“It’s okay, I think I’m better off. I’m relieved I found out before I gave up my apartment or started making any deposits on venues.”
“And you’re back now… who knows, maybe you were meant to course correct and come back home.” Crystal chimed in.
“Either way, you seem like you’re doing great. We’re glad to have you back” Michele smiled and squeezed your hand to reassure you.
The night continued as your group bar hopped from place to place. The warm summer breeze enveloped you as you walked arm linked with your friends. Michele led your group to the last stop of the night. You all but stopped in your tracks when you saw the buzzing neon Live Karaoke sign. 
Well, this is going to be fun.
Tumblr media
Frankie couldn’t help his fidgeting tonight, consistently checking his phone for updates on Cami. He wondered if she finished her dinner if she struggled during bath time, or if she gave his mom trouble when it was time to go to bed. He leaned on his mom for support if he absolutely needed to. Only letting her babysit when he was at work or when he ran errands. He was so hell-bent on being a good father and staying out of trouble that he hardly let himself relax. He reasoned he owed Cami that much, especially after Ashley decided to leave. After her frustration with his decision to go on that mission, after he came back distraught by the loss of Tom and the wreck of a mission that he was part of, only to fall into the familiar comfort of his vice. Fed up and devastated, Ashley decided to take Cami to Frankie’s mother’s house after saying she was going out for groceries only to never return. That was the day that changed everything. It was that moment that snapped him back into reality. He needed to do better, be better, for Cami. That was all that mattered.
There was no way in hell Santiago would let him cancel. Not after he, Ben, and Will had planned this night for weeks. It had only been a couple of days since Santiago’s return from traveling around the world. This night was a big deal, it was the first time in a long time they were finally all in one place. Frankie would not hear the end of it if he bailed, especially since Pope was currently staying at Frankie’s until he found a place of his own. Frankie loved his daughter but It did sound nice to let loose with the boys. He had worked so hard to be who he was now.
“Fish, you good?” Santi asked, as he gave him a solid pat on the back “Seemed like you were somewhere else for a sec.”
“Just worried about Cami” he breathed before raising his glass to his lips.
“She’s in safe hands, it’s your mom. She raised YOU, she can handle Cami” Will chimed in and took a sip of his beer.
“You guys have been going on about how you’ve been planning this for weeks and you settled… on a karaoke bar?” Frankie chuckled.
“It was Ben’s idea,” Will and Santiago said in unison.
Ben rolled his eyes, “What? It was an honest mistake, we failed to notice one little detail.” 
“The bar we wanted to go to turns into a club on Saturday nights, and we all know clubbing is not your scene or mine” Will added.
“...and remind me what was wrong with our usual spot?” Frankie pressed.
“C’mon man, It’s a great bar! Brought a date out here last week. Just give it a chance. The live band is great!” 
“As long as you don’t sign me up” Ben gave Frankie a devilish grin and stood up “Ben...Benny…don’t you fucking dare!” Frankie’s grip became tighter around the beer he was nursing.
“C’mon old man, it’s all in good fun! You boys make sure he gets a couple more drinks in him, I’ll be right back” Ben winked as he walked away.
Santiago laughed as Frankie dragged his hands over his face “Tranquilo, I’m sure he just went to the bathroom or somethin’ he’s just busting your balls.” Frankie sighs “He’s right though, you gotta chill... I’ll get us another round”
A group of girls walked by and caught Santiago’s eye as he made it to the bar. Particularly one of the girls. She was pretty- very pretty. He could’ve sworn he’d seen her somewhere. It bothered Santiago for all of two minutes until he decided he’d let it go and focus on the boys. He rounded up the beers he ordered and turned to walk back to the group when he heard you. He recognized your voice. He hardly recognized you without your scrubs on. “Oh shit! That’s Cami’s speech teacher!” he muttered under his breath. He thought it best to keep this to himself, for that moment at least. He returned to the table when his mouth dropped. “No.. way! Is that-”
“Ben. Fucking. Miller…who knew he had it in him!?” Frankie interrupted. His suspicions were half correct. Ben had made his way to sign someone up to the karaoke list- himself. 
Ben taps the mic half haphazardly and clears his throat “Is everyone having a good time!?” the crowd cheers “I said.. Is everyone having a good time!!?” the crowd cheers even louder, “M’names Ben…Ben Miller and I’m about to make it even better.” he chuckled to himself “Alright ‘nuff talk, this one’s for my boys!” he turned to the band drink in hand as they continued the chord progressions to The Boys are Back In Town by Thin Lizzy. 
“That boy…always loved the limelight. He’s eating this shit up” Will chuckled as he shook his head.
“Holy shit” Santiago nodded to the music “not bad either”. He laughed and turned to see a more relaxed Frankie who had his sight set somewhere other than the stage. It seemed that Santiago wasn’t the only one who had noticed you.
Tumblr media
The live karaoke bar had the feel of a big theatre with two levels. Each table had a great view of the stage that had a full live band that had an expansive repertoire of songs available for those brave enough to sign up. The stage was impressive and lively, the stage lights changed colors and moved depending on the song of choice.
After getting your drinks, you and the girls decided on a table close to the stage when a guy named Ben went up to sing. He was really into the song- holding on to the mic stand and swinging it around while he sang. The lights turned blue and yellow around him, highlighting his strong features. 
“Wooo Ben!” Lexi cheered,“he’s hot.. definitely your type, Michele”
“Ooh, she’s not wrong Meesh, he’s right up your alley” you added “Wha- oh… okay” you laughed as you realized you and Lexi hadn’t even noticed that Michele had left the table. “Could’ve sworn she was right next to me” you shrugged.
Ben’s song came to a close and the crowd cheered. He definitely was a crowd favorite, from what you had seen, at least. There was a lull for a few minutes while the live band played an 80’s song in the background when the lights turned down and the stage lights turned red. You heard what you thought was the intro to a Queen song and you knew immediately who’d be up there. A sweet and slightly buzzed Michele appeared on stage. “Hi, I’m Michele and this song goes out to my best friend who just moved back to Florida- put your hands together for her!” the spotlight shone on you and the crowd cheered. Your eyes went wide, and your body stiffened. You tried your best not to cower in the heat of the light. All you could manage was a shy smile and wave. After what felt like an eternity, the spotlight shifted back to the stage, as you heard Michele start to sing and dance to the melody of Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen. The stress of being the center of attention left your mouth dry. You needed a drink- desperately. 
Tumblr media
Frankie’s gaze followed you as you walked to the bar. He was almost mesmerized, maybe this could be a good night but there was no way he could talk to you. He couldn’t even remember the last time he flirted. His whole world had been consumed by NA meetings, work, and taking care of his little girl. 
“Wow, Fish, she’s gorgeous! At least go buy her a drink. If you don’t, I will, and we both know I’ll go home with more than just her number” Ben breathed.
*smack!* Without hesitation Will slapped Benny upside the head
“Shut up Ben!” Santiago retorted, pausing to look at Frankie. “He’s right, you gotta get back out there. It’s been a while since…just…let yourself have some fun. I’ve seen how you've been gawking at her for the last 5 minutes. If you don’t go, I’ll beat Benny to the bar and we all know. it will be over for you then” he winks.
Frankie turns to Will, who had consistently been the voice of reason. “Pope’s right, at least go talk to her. What have you got to lose?”
“I’ll give you a head start” Benny started counting down with a shit-eating grin “Three…two”
Frankie jerked up and out of his seat, beer in hand almost spilling some on his shirt from the sheer force of the movement “You know what?...Fuck all of you!” he said with a wide smirk and middle finger in the air. He started toward the bar, the men’s laughter fading in the background.
His pace slowed down when he saw you sitting at the bar. He could tell you were kind by the way your eyes sparkled and smiled along with your curving lips when you talked to the bartender. You looked so pretty, so sweet, so…unattainable. There was no way he could talk to you. Frankie started to panic. His mind started to race and think of the many ways he would ruin it. What was the point of even trying to talk to someone new? He had ruined his previous relationship and basically tore his family apart. Why run the risk of going through something like that again? He was more than halfway to the bar when you caught him looking at you.
Fuck, there’s no turning back now. 
Frankie groaned at the thought of the plaguing questions he’d receive from Ben and Pope. He thought it best to bring back a round of beers to ease the embarrassment. 
“I’ll have four Blue Moons,” He said, his body tense as he took a seat on the red stool. 
“You wanna close the tab or leave it open?” 
“You can go ahead and close it..thanks.” He said as he shifted in his seat, reaching for his wallet in the back pocket of his jeans. The bartender placed the beers on the bar and placed the customer's receipt and a pen in front of him. Frankie was about to sign when he noticed something.
Tequila Sunrise………$6.45
His gaze lifted to look for the bartender, “Uh.. this isn’t my-”
“I think he mixed up our receipts” a kind voice sweetly interrupted. 
Tumblr media
“I couldn’t toss back four bottles in one sitting if I tried” You shrugged, and smiled at the handsome stranger, “Do you mind?” 
“Not at all” he motioned to the seat next to him.
“Rough night, I take it?”
“Oh uh…nah these aren’t all for me but if I was having a rough night, this would be the part where it starts to get better” he flashed you a half smile before taking a sip of his beer. That was the moment when you really noticed his features. The hook of his nose, how his locks curled and peaked under his hat, the small target tattoo on the hand that held his beer.
God, he’s gorgeous.
“So.. tequila, huh,” he said as he handed you your receipts.
“Yeah... I uh, needed something a bit stronger after my friend’s shout-out. It was sweet, but If I’m being honest don’t like being the center of attention.”
“I get that. Well..welcome back. I’m Frankie by the way” he stretched out his hand and shook yours. Your heartbeat reacted to the way his touch felt on your skin. 
You both watched the following performances, giggling as you created silly backstories for each person and why they selected the song they were belting out on stage. This was nice, definitely a breath of fresh air in comparison to the handful of dates you had recently been on- your attempt at getting “back out there”. This wasn’t even a date but you couldn’t help but notice how effortless and natural it felt. You talked about your childhood and your favorite beaches to visit. How you used to love stargazing while listening to the sound of the crashing waves, it was your favorite thing to do especially on a bad day. Frankie shared what brought him to Florida, how he enlisted with his best friend, and what prompted him to begin his career as a pilot. His eyes lit up when he talked about flying, his passion and pride on full display. The beers he had ordered stood forgotten, highlighting the time that had passed.
“Oh wow, I uh.. should get back to my group, and by the looks of it your friends might be needing their beers chilled” you chuckled “But it was really nice talking to you, Frankie,” You said hopping off the barstool.
“I had a great time talking to you too, Hermosa. I hope you have a great rest of your night” His deep chocolate-brown eyes scanned yours. “You too,” You said as you smiled and turned, ready to head back to your group.
“Wait!” he reached out, his fingers gently curling around your wrist, “I didn’t get your name”. The pen the bartender left out came in handy as you reached for it with one hand and held his with the other. Frankie couldn’t help but stare as you bit your lip while you wrote down your name and number on his palm, carefully drawing a small heart next to your name. 
“Call me sometime.”
Tumblr media
  “Aaand he’s back! Pope and I thought we were gonna have to go over there and remind you that tonight was for the boys!” Ben teased as Frankie shook his head as he handed the beers to the men.
“So, how’d it go?” Santi prodded.
“She’s great, we hit it off..” 
“You get her number or is my beer dangerously close to being lukewarm for nothin’?” Will chided with a sly grin.
“Awe shit..” Frankie’s brows furrowed at the sight of ink smeared on his palm, “the fuckin beers” His eyes desperately searched the venue, but you were nowhere in sight.
“The hell happened Fish…OH, damn that sucks.” Ben rubbed the back of his neck “Well.. uh..did ya at least get her name?” 
Frankie dragged his hand against his face cursing himself for not being more careful.
Pope padded him on the back “Well who knows.. if it’s fate” he shrugged with a half smile, “you’ll see her again”.
Tumblr media
You had spent part of your weekend awaiting a text or a call from Frankie. To your dismay, the only notifications causing your screen to glow were Instagram notifications, promotion e-mails, and texts from Michele, who had been eagerly awaiting an update on your situation. By the time Monday rolled around you had given up hope that the brown-eyed pilot you had met that weekend had any interest. You chalked up your connection to him being overly friendly. It wasn’t like he really initiated. Maybe he wouldn’t have talked to you at all had it not been for the bartender’s mistake. You shrugged and shook it off, there wasn’t much you could do about it.
Monday morning’s alarm came a lot faster than you had hoped. You put on your scrubs and grabbed a piece of toast and a cup of coffee before rushing out the door. You were determined to have a great morning. Listened to your upbeat playlist in the car singing your little heart all the way to work. 
You made your way down the clinic hall, excited to meet your first patient of the day. Opening the door to see a sweet little curly-haired girl swaying her legs in her seat.
“Cam- Oof!” Little Cami crashed into you as her little arms wrapped around your legs, “Hello to you too Cami!” you smiled at her as you heard footsteps approaching.
“Hermosa?” Your eyes went wide at the sound of the voice, his voice.

Perpetually Late (HRN1)
This is a short story series called HR Nightmare that I've been working on for a few weeks now.
Two women, who can't seem to stand each other, now have to find a way to work together when they find themselves working for the same marketing firm. Hating your coworker creates a hostile work environment, but becoming involved with them creates an HR nightmare.
This will be a multi-part series about a sapphic relationship, and I am so excited to start sharing it with you!
I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think!
All of these chapters will be posted first (a week early) on my Patreon! My Patreon also includes exclusive pieces that you can't find anywhere else. The link is pinned to my profile. I appreciate all your support.

HR Nightmare (1)
Perpetually Late
Leave it to you to be late on the first day of your new job.
Perpetually late, it was a curse placed on you since before you were born. Scheduled to be born in December, you refused to come out until January- you couldn’t even manage to be born in the same year.
Truly, it should come as no surprise when you’re running late today, but it does. You planned for this: you left an hour early specifically so you could not be late. Your job was only twenty minutes from your apartment, less so if everything ran smoothly on the subways. You stopped at a coffee shop before you even got on the train, an extra in hand for your new boss, forty-five minutes left to get to work.
This is where everything started to go wrong. The train you sat on broke down, the muffled announcement promising it should only be a few minutes. After fifteen minutes you got off to find an alternative route, only for the doors on the original train to close and take off. You groaned, and waited for the next train. By the time you got on, you had exactly twenty minutes to get to work and you breathed out a sigh of relief.
The next problem arose when you got off on your stop. Less than a five minute walk from work, with five minutes to spare, you were ecstatic you would make it. However, when a crying little girl came up to you and begged you to help her find her mom, you couldn’t find it in you to deny her. It didn’t take long for a frantic woman to come barreling up the street in search of her daughter, but it was enough time for you to certainly be late. She was overflowing with gratitude when she saw the little girl standing safely next to you.
For you, despair hit. You were ten minutes late for your first day. The woman thanked you repeatedly and apologized for the inconvenience, but you assured her not to worry about it, before speed-walking the rest of the way to your new office.
Your head was hung a bit when your feet dragged you towards the elevator. You moved swiftly past everyone you saw, but the building was a bit crowded. This time, if it seemed someone was going to approach you, you ignored them, doing your best not to make yourself even more late. When you finally got to your floor, you stood outside your boss’s office, took a breath, then knocked twice. A voice called from the inside, inviting you in.
“Sir, Mr. Cooper, I’m so sorry I’m late,” you want to explain yourself, tell him how the world was against you this morning, but you swallow your words. Most employers don’t want to hear excuses. Instead, you hold out the coffee for him and smile. “I brought you a coffee.” With the ice mostly melted and the condensation dripping down your fingers, your smile drops a bit.
His face is stone, frozen in a serious expression. You’re almost certain you’re going to get fired on your first day. Then, a slight crack in the stone when his lips twitch upward.
“That is very sweet. Thank you, Cora,” he says, extending his hand to take the drink from yours.
“Of course, sir,” you respond. “Again, I’m so sorry I’m late.”
He takes a sip of the coffee, despite the rather unappealing appearance of the drink. He hums once he swallows. “That’s alright, things happen. Just don’t make a habit of it.”
“No, of course not! It won’t happen again,” you assure him.
In fact, for the next week, you made it to work an hour early every day. The building was rather empty that early in the morning, but you didn’t mind. You were able to sit at a table in the lobby, eat your breakfast, drink your coffee, and work on your various graphic design ideas.
You figured there was no possible way for you to be late when you were at the office an hour early every morning. Leave it to you to find a way.
It was a Tuesday when you were so caught up working on a design you didn’t realize it was only two minutes to 8:00 am. You were quick to gather your things, tossing your finished breakfast in a bin, and running to the elevator. The doors were closing and you had no chance of catching it.
“Hold the elevator!” you shout as a last hope. Your hope dies quickly when you watch the doors shut fully.
You drop your head, annoyed at yourself for allowing the curse of being perpetually late to continue to haunt you. That is, until the elevator makes a noise, and the doors open back up. Behind them, a beautiful woman with a slightly annoyed look on her face.
“Well, come on then,” she says. “Don’t make me late as well.”
You force your feet to move you forward, quickly stepping onto the elevator. She presses the button for the tenth floor without saying a word.
“Oh, hey, we both work on the same floor,” there’s a cheerful tone to your voice when you speak.
“I know.” Her voice is hard, no sign of emotion.
You’re a bit taken aback by her lack of friendliness, but continue speaking anyway. You had a nasty habit of taking too much when you were nervous. “Oh, you did? I just started here last week,” you laugh. “I haven’t really had the chance to get to know anyone yet.”
She hums in response, not once looking your way. Her eyes stayed trained on the changing elevator numbers as though she couldn’t wait till she was no longer trapped in a metal box with you. Of course, you don’t take that as a cue to stop talking.  
“Thank you for holding the doors for me, by the way.” You pause to give her a moment to respond. She doesn’t. “I was late my first day. I left an hour early to get coffee and make it here with extra time to spare, but luck just wasn’t on my side. I was so scared Mr. Cooper was going to fire me, but he was actually really understanding,” you ramble on. “I still don’t wanna risk being late again, so thanks for holding the elevator.”
The elevator dings and she walks out briskly. You stay back for a second, a bit confused by her cold demeanor. You assure yourself that she must not be a friendly person. Some people are shy. Some people don’t want to talk to strangers on an elevator and that’s okay.
Only, when you make your way into the office, she’s in conversation with someone, a bright smile painted on her face. Your own drops into a pout, but you’re quick to shake it off. Maybe she just needs to warm up to you.
The next day, you’re in the office twenty minutes early. You have an alarm now set on your phone for 7:50 am to ensure you can’t be late, even when you’re sitting in the lobby of the building. Today though, you wanted to be seated at your desk before anyone even walked in. Most people in the office were five-minutes-to-eight kind of arrivals.
Mr. Cooper calls you into his office as soon as he walks onto the floor.
“Yes, Mr. Cooper, is there a problem?” you ask, a bit nervous.
He smiles. You were appreciative that he was so welcoming towards you. “Of course not, Cora. I loved the sample graphic designs you provided last week. Now, I want to get you working on a real project.”
You were so excited. Art had been a passion of yours since you were a little girl, and you were finally starting to be able to do it professionally.
“Oh, that’s great! What’s the project?”
“Have you met Elle?” he asks.
You shake your head. You still didn’t know many people around the office.
“Well, she’s been working on a copy for this pretty big company- not even sure how she managed to get them in the first place,” he pauses, shaking his head with a smile on his face. “Charmer, that one- I’ll tell you. Anyway, we want you to create the design for the copy.”
“Really?” You were surprised, you assumed they would start you on a much smaller project. “That’s so great! So I’ll be working with Elle today?”
“Yes. I’ll send her your way once she gets in to tell you all the specifics. Honestly, I don’t know as much about copy writing or graphic design as I do about running a business,” he laughs. You weren’t sure what Mr. Cooper did before he worked here, but he seemed to run this marketing business very well, from what you could tell.
“Okay, this sounds great. Thank you so much Mr. Cooper.”
He waves his hand at you, a silent gesture telling you not to thank him.
You pause before leaving his office, the nagging voice inside your head urging you to make a good impression. “Is there anything I should know about Elle?”
“Oh no, she’s just about the easiest introduction to the office. Very friendly- I’m sure you’ll get along just fine.” His words are reassuring.
You have a smile on your face when you sit at your desk, waiting for Elle to come introduce herself. You’re practically buzzing with excitement for two reasons: you get to work on a real project, and you’re finally going to make a friend in the office.
It hasn’t exactly been easy to become friends with your coworkers. During the day, everyone is so busy with their work, yourself included, they don’t have time to talk. You know a bunch of people went to a bar on Friday after work last week, but you didn’t feel you had been working here long enough to join them. Now, you finally have an excuse to talk to someone during work, and potentially make a friend.
Though, your hope drops a bit when the girl from the elevator walks over to your desk. Her face is painted in the same emotionless expression she had on yesterday.
“You’re Elle?” you ask. You try to hide the confused tone in your voice, but it’s difficult. You swore Mr. Cooper told you Elle was friendly, and this girl was everything but.
“Yup,” she says, her lips making a popping noise around the last letter. “And you’re Cora.”
When she says your name, it isn’t a question. It’s matter-of-fact. It’s confident and assured. She speaks your name as though she already knows everything there possibly is to know about you.
“I am,” you smile. You aren’t sure why she’s so closed-off towards you, but you’re sure you can win her over, especially when Mr. Cooper assures you she’s so friendly. “Mr. Cooper told me we’re working on a project together.”
“Kind of,” she shrugs. “I already finished the project, aside from the graphic design. Art isn’t really my thing, or else I would’ve done it all myself.” Despite the lack of emotion in her voice, you take this as progress. She’s actually told you something about herself.
“Well that’s what I’m here for!” You cringe internally at the forced positivity in your voice. You hope she doesn’t notice, but with the way her nose scrunches slightly, you’re sure she has.
“Right,” her voice drags. “So how long do you think this will take? The client wants this done as soon as possible. They’re pretty much ready to launch.”
“Umm… it depends on the complexity of the design, and how many times you want me to redo it.” She stares down at you. You’ve started to feel quite small sitting at your desk while she stands in front of you.
“Why would you need to redo it?” She has a questionable look on her face, as though she’s now expecting you to be bad at your job.
“Just if there was something you didn’t like or wanted me to change for some reason.” You expect her face to soften when you explain yourself. It doesn’t. “But if you explain what you’re looking for in the design, I can get a mock-up to you today for you to approve.”
She explains what she’s looking for in the design. It doesn’t seem too complicated, but she is quite specific in her requests. You can tell this project is important to her, and you’re curious if this is the biggest client she’s worked with. You don’t dare ask, keeping control of your tongue for once.
The main purpose of the project is to create a tagline for the new business this company is launching, and the art to go with it. While Elle had already done all the work communicating with the client, figuring out what they wanted, and creating the tagline, all you had to do was create the art. You didn’t even have to think of the design- it was practically already designed by Elle. All you had to do was carry out her vision.
“Better than Sleep,” her tagline for the upcoming coffee business sat with you, watching over you even when she no longer stood at your desk.
You had never been so nervous to create a design before. You loved art. This was what you did. This was your life’s calling. However, when you imagined Elle’s eyes burning holes in you, disappointed in your creation, the idea of creating didn’t feel nearly as fun.
You shake your head and wiggle your fingers, as if to physically shake the nerves off. You pick up your stylus to create a simple design.
It had been a few hours, but you managed to come up with a few different options. You created three different ones, sticking strictly to Elle’s description, as well as two others that strayed a bit from her initial vision.
You manage to find her desk in the office, despite not having walked around here much before. When you spot her in conversation with another coworker, a full smile on her face, you roll your eyes. Was this girl seriously nice to everyone else? Why weren’t you awarded the same level of charm?
As if on cue, her smile drops when you stop in front of her desk. “I finished the mock-up. I came up with quite a few designs, actually, so you can choose your favorite.” Your tone remains friendly. Just because she wasn’t nice to you didn’t mean you needed to mirror her. 
“Great, you can just leave them here,” her tone is dismissive.
“Oh- um, actually I- well I can’t,” you stumble over your words. She looks at you expectantly. “They’re all on my tablet still. I was hoping we could go over all of them together so you can tell me what you do and don’t like about each one.”
She hums, turning back to her coworker. “Sorry, we can talk later. This is for the coffee project,” she explains sweetly. You wish you were awarded the same tone. “Alright, let’s see,” she only speaks to you once her coworker has walked away.
You place your tablet on the desk and spin it around to face her. One hand flat on her desk, you lean over, pointing with your other hand to explain the images.
“I tried to follow your instructions exactly on this one-“
“I don’t like it,” she cuts you off before you even finish. “The words look all funny, and the design is far too big. They’re not a cohesive piece.” A frown is etched onto her face as she traces over your tablet with her finger.
“Okay,” your voice drawls out. You hadn’t been criticized so harshly on your work before. It didn’t hurt your feelings, though. It intrigued you more than anything. You swipe to the next image.
“No. I don’t like it.”
“Care to explain?” You want her to critique your work. This way, when she finally did approve of something, you would know she truly liked it.
Her nose scrunches up when she stares at the design. “The outlines are too thick. They make everything look too harsh. We want people to feel welcomed.”
You take mental notes on what she says. You like that she’s giving you critiques you can actually work with, and not just blatant insults. You half expected her to call them ugly and throw your tablet on the ground, so this was quite a pleasant surprise.
“What about this one?”
She pauses. Improvement. “I like the design here. The words just- they still look off to me,” she frowns as she looks at them. With her eyebrows pinched together and a pout in her lips, she appears far less intimidating.
“I have two others, but they stray a bit from your description,” you warn her.
You look down at her before swiping to the next image, almost waiting for her to tell you to not even bother. Her eyes meet yours, lips stained slightly in a pout, and nods, encouraging you to show her. You swipe. Her lips twitch upward. You smile fully.
“I like this one. The design on the other one is still better, but this- I like the way the piece flows. The words look better here,” a grin grows on her face as she speaks.
You feel like you’ve won the lottery. “There’s one more.” You swipe.
She hums. “No, the other one was better,” the emotion drops from her voice again. “Okay, so this format and font with the other design,” her finger points to the fourth drawing you showed her.
“Got it,” you respond. “I’ll have the finished design for you tomorrow. This was just the mock-up, so the next one will be a bit clearer with colors and everything,” you explain.
“Well yeah, I hope so.” She slides your tablet across her desk, back to you.
You didn’t speak to her again until the next day when you finished the actual design. You wouldn’t admit this to her, but you had spent hours that night working on the design. You wanted it to be perfect, and get it done quickly.
Stood in front of her desk, tablet in hand, excited smile etched onto your face, she stares back at you blankly. “What?” she asks.
“I have the finished design for you. I thought that if I got it to you today, you could speak to the company and see if they’ll approve it tomorrow, before the weekend. Then they’ll be able to launch next week if they want.” You’re certain you’re overexplaining yourself, but you swear sometimes your tongue moves on its own accord.
“Show me.”
The smile doesn’t leave your face. You refuse to let her emotionless tone affect you. You place your tablet on the desk and spin it around to face her. She’s silent for a moment.
“It’s… good,” she looks up at you and her eyebrows crease together. “The colors are off though. They need to be lighter- less intense.”
You grab your tablet from her desk. “Great! I’ll fix that now.”
There’s a bounce to your step when you walk back to your desk. She said it was good. She liked it. Of course, it couldn’t be perfect the first try. You were almost certain that even if it was perfect, she would’ve given you something to fix.
“How’s this?” You plop your tablet back on the desk in front of her with the proper color changes.
“Too light.”
You darken the colors a bit.
“They need to be more vibrant.”
You enhance and bolden the colors.
“No, not like that. It’s too much now,” he nose scrunches. “Can you just do it here so I can tell you what to do?”
You’re almost relieved that she suggested it. She was obviously quite the perfectionist, so it would be much easier if she could tell you exactly how she wanted the colors as you adjusted them.
You nod. She stands from her chair and gestures towards it for you to sit. You follow her command, now seated in front of your tablet as she leans over your shoulder to watch you adjust the colors. You can feel her breath past your ear and your fingers shake a bit when you pick up your stylus.
“Now, keep the vibrance, but make it a little less bold. It should catch our attention- not scream in our face.” You barely register the words coming from her, too caught up with how close her voice sounds.
You clear your throat. You adjust one of the colors slowly. “Tell me when you like it.”
“There! There, stop.” Her hand reaches over your shoulder to point at the color. “That’s perfect. Now, the next one.”
You fix the colors one at a time, waiting for her approval. She speaks throughout your adjustments, while you barely utter a word, not trusting your own voice. Elle was just so intimidating, and you weren’t used to having her this close to you.
When you finally have her full approval, one color at a time, she squeals in excitement but quickly collects herself. You feel your own mouth break into a grin, relieved to finally have your first finished design for this company.
“It’s,” she starts, attempting to muffle the smile on her face, “it’s really good. I’ll talk with the client tomorrow morning to see if they approve.”
You swore you couldn’t breathe until you left her desk. The air felt far too stiff, as though she commanded it herself. You were hoping you wouldn’t have to work with her often. If everything went as well as you were hoping, the company would love and approve of the design, the project would be done, and you would no longer have to collaborate with her.
Elle approaches you first on Friday. Her face is emotionless, so you’re not sure if this is good or bad news.
“They loved the design. They approved everything, and are now set to launch next week,” she tells you.
You miss the excitement that laced her voice yesterday. “That’s great! Is there anything else you need?”
“We’re all going to Freddy’s, the bar, tonight to celebrate,” her face twists together, as though it pained her to speak the next words. “You should… come.” Nothing aside from the words themselves made you feel as though she wanted you there.
“Oh, um,” you collect yourself to hide the surprise, “that’s okay. Thank you for inviting me.”
She sighs. “Look, you contributed to the project. You should be part of the celebration.”
Although she still seems like she would rather not have you there, you don’t have it in you to deny her twice.
“Okay, yeah,” you smile, “yeah, I’ll come.”

u break i fix
so BIL drove me back to Buffalo, since he was headed to Erie PA to retrieve his daughter from his father. We met up with Dude at the park-n-ride right on the exit 49 ramp at Depew, conveniently placed, and then Dude took me, instead of straight home, to a cellphone repair shop he’d researched and found on Hertel Ave at Delaware (so, quite close to my workplace), and we went in there and they said a screen replacement is like $200 and would take 2-3 hrs. It was 4pm then, and they closed at 7, so we went home and waited for them to call and finally we wound up going to a restaurant that was directly next door, because coincidentally this cellphone repair place is directly between a Verizon store and the best place to get Indian food in North Buffalo.
They did not call, and closed for the night, and Dude was facing the window and hissed “there goes the cellphone repair guy” as the kid walked past just after 7, having closed the store. 😂 They’re open today too so I hope to hear from them today. Anyway. I have Dude’s old Nokia 7.1 and it doesn’t hold a charge I’m told, but I’m not using it for that much because my apps aren’t on it. I just will know if I get a text.
Despite my dead-screen phone having been binging merrily along telling me everyone in the world was texting me, it was only Dude telling me about the repair shop, and I haven’t gotten a text since then.
And yes, on the ride home I suddenly realized that it being Saturday, I had forgotten to update a chapter on Friday, and I have a policy of not uploading chapters on weekends because nobody reads them, but like this chapter is so good and so juicy and I don’t want to forget and I won’t be able to put it up on Monday because it’s a holiday and I’m traveling (I have not yet mentioned this! but I am! It’s a very brief getaway LOL)
So we’ll see, I might just do that today. I’m dithering. It’s so juicy, I don’t want it to get lost. But I don’t want to hold it hostage for some mythical Better Engagement, that’s silly. But I also have things going on today, so-- well we’ll see.
Also I think I’m going to make it be the end of a story and have the next one pick up as a new story just so I’ve got room to do an author’s note and flag a bunch of warnings on it. Nothing particularly gross is going to happen, but I plan to have a young character have his sexual debut, so I want readers to first off be warned about it and second off have a chance to kind of like-- well if it turns out to be a thing they’re not into then it’s easier to remember where it is, I think, if it’s not mid-story.
anyway i’m chewing on that. I need to go like. Scrape myself off this couch and shower and become a functional human somehow. But for the moment I’m caffeinating and contemplating.

good morning this post is …not abt my eating disorder 😮
(it’s a coworker rant lol) (it got …..long 👀) (i started early this morning and am now finishing hrs later without changing times so sorry if some things don’t add up time wise) (not that ppl other than myself would know? but tumblr anons have me paranoid that everyone thinks im lying abt every little thing lmao)
[[MORE]]
anyway this has been a pretty solo trip for me, but im technically here with another woman from nj as well, whom i actually met last year working this same camp so we knew each other and have now spent over 3 weeks together total, not super long in the grand scheme of life but long enough to say we know each other
and i don’t dislike her at all, but this week it became a lot more clear that we are really different ppl, both professionally and just in life lol
and i kinda like that despite working at the same job/staying in the same hotel, we both quietly acknowledged that it could end there and we didn’t have to do things off the clock together. i didn’t see her at all outside of our work hours lol and that was fine.
but during work, she sat on her phone at a table away from the kids, and when she did need to “engage” with them, it was yelling. i heard her say “what is wrong with you??” or “why are you crying?” to 6 year olds too many times this week (1 time is too many times, 4 is ??? like why are you working in childcare) — and that is just what i heard, she ‘opened’ and i ‘closed’ so there were two hours each day where we were on our own and i dread thinking of how she spoke to them then 👀
on that note, she was supposed to clock in at 7am — get things set up, plan out the day a little, whatever. but every morning we would have an awkward moment where i would see her sitting in the hotel lobby eating breakfast as the time crept past 7 and she would still have to factor in the uber there and all i could think was what if i kid came early or if her uber didn’t get her there by 7:30 (when kids could arrive)??
but i would try to just drink my coffee and pretend i wasn’t aware of the time lol and i know she was annoyed that she had to wake up to open (bc she certainly lmk that) but i had to stay until the last kid got picked up (and parents were not always the most punctual coming from work ☠️) and then clean up so i was there until after my scheduled time each day, there were no early days that she kept telling me to ✨enjoy (also we are getting paid?? that’s why we’re here??)
but we are in the same role here — i am not her supervisor, i didnt feel comfortable correcting or redirecting her, i can’t give her training on how to speak to kids
….still, in the end, i did feel like i put a lot more work bc kids are smart and intuitive and are gonna go to whom they feel comfortable with — so even if i was trying to put stuff away or talk to a parent or whatever….even with her right there in front of them….they would ask/find me.
(i will say, it says something that by the end of the week they finally had learned my name and still didn’t even seem to know she was working there with me lol, or she was “the other teacher” ……like i don’t think im good at much, but i do know im good at interacting with / treating kids with the respect they deserve)
anyway i had started this post mostly to say that it’s also very telling that she clocked out of our last shift saying “ill see you when i see you” even though we took the same flight here, i booked our uber from the airport to the hotel together, and we have the same flight back — but just based on our endings vibes, i didn’t reach out to see if she wanted to share an uber there this morning**
i think she’s also upset with me bc we were both offered the opportunity to travel again with the company after this — and both told that it would be “either oklahoma or texas” — and both definitely preferred texas over oklahoma — and i made the mistake of telling her i emailed one of the higher ups voicing my discomfort with OK (mostly just thinking out loud before i sent the email) and even though i received this (wonderfully validating 👀) reply back:
Tumblr media
it ended up that i was chosen to go to TX and she will be going to OK and i feel like she assumes the email played a role / that i used my discomfort as leverage. idk, i should have just waited it out but i was anxious abt it and when im anxious i tend to ramble/voice my inner dialogue and that’s what happened — it also lead to me basically coming out to her (if she hadn’t already figured that one out ☠️) and even before the decisions were made re: locations but after that, i felt a shift in our dynamic and overall it was just a mess after that day lol
**and now when i arrived at the airport, it turns out our original flight was delayed so much that we had to reschedule to guarantee making the connection……but she hadn’t checked in yet so idk what’s happening with hers……all i know is that our boss booked our flights so it’s all linked together and it wouldn’t show my boarding pass, only hers, so it kept trying to check her in when i just wanted it to register my boarding pass for pdx—>ord—->ewr instead of pdx—>den—>ewr and i was so anxious i was gonna miss my flight and so proud of myself for not crying when a very nice woman helped me out ……but then! 😔 i did cry bc when i mobile ordered a pumpkin load from starbucks…..waited 20 minutes for it…..told myself i could keep waiting bc i have done my time as a barista and know how annoying customers are……waited another 10 but then saw my ticket behind the screen so knew it had gotten lost in the shuffle and i would actually literally miss my flight if i didn’t ask the barista…..only to be told they were out, but would i be okay with a lemon loaf instead?…….no 🥴 not really 🥴 but am i anxious bc food still want to scratch my skin off when it’s not exactly what i want it to be? 🥴 yes 🥴
so i have to say that’s fine ! thank you so much ! have a good day ! 😌
anyway that’s when i took my lemon loaf and cried on the way to my plane
and here i sit
winning the secret competition for longest tumblr posts abt the most mundane things ever 😌 cya

if twit is gone, i will have to use a blog like a real blog.
so anyway,
im a warehouse manager now and i got an employee who i feel like im in an abusive relationship with
he out of nowhere said "so some fat, ugly Samoan man won a miss america pagent and he identifies as a woman and you KNOW no one believes that shit!" and that caught my ear and made me stop and ask him why he brought that up cuz there was just no relation to what we were doing
he got defensive and when i asked him to not talk about things like that (cuz we just hired a new guy we dont know his opinions and also its not allowed int he work place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) the moterhfucker yelled at me and told me that IM "the problem and silencing" his opinions
i asked him to not use combative language and then he said "YOURE using combative language!!!" like a toddler yelling at his mom
i felt like i was on fox news or something, dude listened to so much joe rogan, he just melted in front of my eyes?
i was especially 'triggered' because my recently viral-on-reddit-infamous-homeless-attacking-ex-boss deany boy used to go on long, endless, anti trans rants when i was the only one working with him and i waslike what the fuck!!!!!!!!!! the fuck you care so cuking much about trans people in everything, shut up you old bastard dean
your donuts made my stomach hurt and you keep cream cheese in the fridge so long it turns green and when i went to throw it out, you told me to wipe off the green mold and put it back. you also keep the raw bacon on the top of the fridge of everything definitely not raw. you reuse gravy for days on end to the point i think theres weeks old gravy still being eaten. your wife broke 3 crock pots out of anger for some mundane thing and acted like a high school mean girl when she was in charge and made us remop a floor up to like 4 times because she didnt like how there was a "sheen" on the floor.
anyway
my employee just fucuking blew up at me and then he walked out and didnt return for 3 hours, i was at the point of thinking "well ok, guess he actually just quit?"
He returned and didnt talk to me and left without a word. The next day he called out and only said: "Sick. Out. Indefinitely."
What the hell does indefinitely mean after a blow up?
Poor choice of words or a bad way to vaguely quit?
i told HR and made them call him after he didnt text or show up the next day
i was ready to move on and already got an interview set up to fill in when we are already in crisis mode at work lol
then the bastard texts me at 5 when im about to go home and he is furious that HR was calling him. he said "if you have a problem you say it to my face, im coming in tomorrow sick or not"
i felt threatened and scared because when he gets mad, he gets mad and testosterone fueled rage and i dont know if he would get physical
he also was like "am i supposed to be looking for another job!?"
i was so scared of his reaction i was thankfully able to call hr and have her walk me thru how to text this maniac back
i really dont want to work with him ESPECIALLY now
but somehow the company wont fire anyone so this behavior is still cool and no one has balls, i dont have balls and guess i have to continue workingand managing a manchild who is going to be set off at anything
i also have to somehow figure out how to get a meeting with him, me and HR without it sounding liek an interogation because he is so easily defensive
we were cool and i have even been to his house and met his wife and had beers with him and another manager and then it felt like in one instance it just got all washed away because he wanted to rant about trans people?????????
i am so confused!
i also have thrown up soooooooo much this past year from stress, jfc. im finally losing weight but from a very very bad reason and very very unhealthy way that is painful aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
still dont know whats gonna happen since this dude is planning on coming back tomorrow and i have an interview w someone we meant to replace him after he was MIA

It just keeps getting worse
Nothing can ever go smoothy, can it? I hate how insurances work here in the US. My deductible fucking resets at the beginning of the year and I once again am at ground zero, unable to afford any future progress that can be made towards getting a handle on my anemia. This time, though, I also cannot afford a new medication that I need for keep my IBS-C under control.
I have had to send a lengthy email to my work's HR department, and this time included the Tribal Chairman in on it, because I need HELP.
I am utterly frustrated, stressed, and worried about my health now. If you want to read the lengthy email I sent, I have copy/pastes it under the cut.
"Hello,
I'm sorry to continue bugging you about insurance issues, but I have a lot going on and am trying to do anything I can to still be able to keep track of my health at this time. Because this also weighs on my mother, who I rely on for transportation to all medical appointments, I have CC'd her in this email alongside Rayna so that she is aware of what I am trying to discuss.
As of the beginning of the year, I know that my deductible reset to 0. At this time, having that reset has utterly screwed me over in terms of my healthcare at this time. I was scheduled for an endoscopy this coming Monday in order to assist in figuring out why I am severely anemic, but due to the deductible resetting my co-pay up front is $4,000 and I cannot afford that. My medications have also been affected, as gastroenterology has put me on Linzess to control my IBS. Due to my deductible resetting, the co-pay cost of this medication is $500. I am now at a point where I'm going to be forced to halt any further progress on getting my health back to normal, which poses the dangerous possibility that it will once again tank downward because of this.
If there is any possible way that I can make insurance changes before open enrollment, I really would be grateful. Currently I have the HSA High Deductible Plan with Blue Sheild. My deductible is $3,800.
When I spoke with Jimmy back in December due to the situation between Blue Sheild and Adventist Health, he proposed that it was possible to make an emergency change in benefits before the two parties came to an agreement. We discussed the possibility of moving down to the Low Deductible Plan and I promptly put in a Qualifying Event request at his direction in hopes of getting this to happen. Weeks passed and I heard nothing from Jimmy, whether it be because of people in HR leaving the company or because this happened at the same time as the holiday season. During the time I waited, I sent at least 3 to 4 polite emails asking for an update that went unresponsive (again, be it due to those in HR leaving or because of the holidays season, if not both). When I finally was able to hear back, after finally hitting a point where I was getting frustrated and sent an email that indicated this, I was told that legal did not consider my situation to be a Qualifying Event and that I would need to wait until the next open enrollment in May for changes to take effect in June.
This is legitimately forcing me to halt any further progress on getting my physical health back up to par. At this rate, I have already had to cancel my refill on Linzess because I cannot afford a $500 co-pay for a necessary medication. I am still trying to work something out with Foothill Specialty's Gastro department so that I can still go through with the endoscopy on Monday, but again I cannot afford $4,000 up front for this. And yes, these costs are AFTER my insurance has covered their portion of the cost. When speaking with Gastro, they tried to see if I could do $1,000 up front, which again I cannot afford. I told them I could do $200 up front and then $200 a month thereafter until the total cost is paid off, to which they said they would sent it to their higher ups to seek approval for this, but did inform me that they honestly do not think that my compromise will be accepted "due to how low it is". Due to this, I may have to cancel this needed procedure that I need to continue with getting a handle on my anemia. The whole point of the endoscopy is to check and see if there is any internal bleeding in my GI track, as well as to take a biopsy to test for conditions that cause mal-absorptions in iron.
I need to be able to bump down to a lower deductible. As it stands now, with my current plan, I have to halt any and all future progress on bettering my physical health, which again, puts me at the dangerous possibility of my health (mainly the anemia) worsening once again. I already have had to have iron infusions due to how severe the anemia is, and I'm thankful that happened before my deductible reset, because I wouldn't have been able to afford it otherwise.
I am begging you at this point, really. I need to be able to bump down to a lower deductible sooner rather than later with the health issues I have going on. I cannot allow these costs to pile up, as I already am trying to pay off my surgery fees from this past August. Please, if there is any way that I can make changes in my benefits without having to wait for May to come around, and then June for those changes to take effect, I would be beyond grateful.
I hope to hear from you soon,
Thank you."

ok so. last night, when u came home from work the day aft i got back from philly i heard the door. and i was like it’s either noah or we’re being robbed. and i was pretty sure it was noah.
i was like so. excited. like excited enough that it turned into a little bit of nervousness i think. which is so crazy. but anyways. i grabbed brent’s keys to go hand them to you and you’d reached the top of the stairs when i saw you. you smiled at me like so wide and then gave me a hug. and i squeezed tighter than you. because honestly it felt sort of desperate. i wanted to be close to you like all day and i was finally getting to do that again. agonising!! anyways
before i (zaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakl - nala, interjecting by stepping and sitting on the keyboard) saw you i was like. trying to keep it chill. in the facial area. like i sort of sauntered up to you and gave you i think like a restrained smile. and then i squeezed you kinda tight during the hug.
you went to move the cars, and i was still pretty excited when you came back up but i was faced away, doing a dish at the sink, being chill. and when you came up i expected you to hug me from behind. but you ate some broccoli first and then you did i think. but. anyways. some time passed and i asked you about how happy you thought i was to see you again or something, and you were like “very.” so sure. so confident. when i asked you why, i think you said it was because of my behaviour. and i was turned away from you, unloading or loading the dishwasher. 
and honestly if you could see my face like all the time, it would be horrible. so much of the time that i’m like not being watched by you directly when you call me out on stuff like this i’m like. clearly feeling so. pinned down and attacked. because like ok how the fuck do you know. how the fuck do you Think you know. i’m chillin!!!!!! i was so clearly chillin.
anyways you said that it was because of how tight i hugged you, it was like we hadn’t seen each other in like 3 weeks when it had been like 11 hrs. and. OKAY??? how am i supposed to help that??? like??? i want to be fucking close to you?? bro what is your fucking problem let me be
AND I WAS TRYING TO KEEP IT CHILL TOO. I KNOW I ALR WROTE ABOUT THIS BUT WHEN YOU TURNED AWAY TO GO DOWNSTAIRS. I LIKE. YOU KNOW. had a little. hoppy moment. about. it. and then turned around like sort of terrified that you’d seen me but here you are reading this so whatever it’s all in the past for me i’m sure i don’t like you as much anymore it’s fine
the number of posts i’ve been writing recently is a little concerning.
but anyways this reminded me. of. when i was sitting on you on the dirty disgusting couch in the old house. and i was kissing you and i stopped for whatever reason and like you sort of goaded me into kissing you more in like a bratty way and it worked. ok. sue me. i wanted to kiss you and also shut you up. kissing two birds with one stone here. whatever. the point is. when i pulled away from kissing you you laughed so hard and said ‘you’re so fucked’ and like you were right. however, i was horrified. how is it any of your business how I feel in my own Brain about you why do you get to know that.
and you said. that it was because apparently i didn’t Like brattiness but like totally fell for it OKAY YEAH and what and WHAT
you were so fucking confident about it, like it was hilarious to you how down horrendous i was. and like yes. ok. like yeah. i was. and am. and will continue to be. but yeah. horrifying. this was before we were a sure thing at all and i think. it made you. like. sure. or more sure. you were right about everything. i’d go to philly and miss you. both times. i was unsure what it would bring for us both times but. i would ask you to date me within like an hour of you making that wish. i know that wasn’t a prediction of yours. but it was close to one. 
and your hubris in early january. i like. had a girlfriend. basically. you know. life plans together. some level of commitment to the point that i felt it was necessary to inform him and update him on the happenings of our developing relationship. i think it was the day that we got back from the mall. when we were sitting on that dirty disgusting couch. and you were like. if there’s a 1% chance you’ll date me, i’ll still try. and i was like. 
OH. that day. we held hands in the taxi on the way back. :). so cool and tender. i love you. or on the way there. i think it was on the way back. because on the way there i thought about it. i think. but we were still at that point where like. i wasn’t sitting in the middle seat. we still did that on the car ride on the way to the red lobster part of your birthday, but i remember wishing that i was closer to you.
anyways, like i was saying. the fucking audacity. of me being like. u know i’m like sort of in a relationship right. and you being like. yeah i know. but. you said i had a chance. and the potential roi is immense. like if you’re worth $10,000 or something, which is underselling it, and i have a 1% chance. that’s worth it to me.
thank you for doing that math. i am glad i am sitting here, in your parent’s house, typing this. 
i hope this lasts. i hope you get to read this on or after your birthday next year. i hope i get to write more. 
i just heard a car lock so i know you’re almost done moving them. :) i get to hang out with you!!!!!!!! bye future noah!!! i love u 
i’d apologise for how long this is but i don’t think you mind very much.

"The Parade of the Unimaginable” is a game we all play- like worst case scenario thinking and going to that dark place instead of being confident that every little thing is gonna be alright (like the Three Little Birds song by Bob Marley).  And so it was on a Friday, of all days, that I received a giant brown accounting envelope ugh.  Now I know every year we have to deal with taxes and every day we deal with money and bills, but I just didn’t want to open this beast on a weekend for fear of what alligators were in there. It sat at my dining room table all weekend.  Every now and then I forgot about it and then at times I went dark, worst case scenario.  Even if I had a question and wanted to scream, there was no one at that office all weekend anyway.  Friday, came and went, then Saturday, then Sunday.  Monday I opened that envelope only to see that it was copies of things they had already done for me and merely mailed my copies to me.  So for nearly 3 days that envelope was alligator wrestling me and taking up rent-free space in my mind!  Ugh grrrrr.  Most times the best thing we can do is plow forward through our challenges, even during this past full moon and just get things done.  Right now as you read this, I am seeing you as fearless and accomplishing a little bit every day so that the rest of your life will indeed be the very best of your life! ????? ?? ????? ?? On deck for upcoming releases... ????? ?? ????? ??  The Treasure Chest!  A nautical themed abundance Audio MP3 that has already proven to be a successful inspiration to others and could boost your money piles!  There are several more Audio MP3’s in the works including; a positive inspirational one “rediscovering enthusiasm for life”, that could shift the trajectory of your life in the best way possible!  AND even a new masterclass/mini-course, educational process that will take your fishing to a whole other level dealing with the Life Force Energy scale.  Oh and our monthly Zoom event on the last Wednesday of the month will be an awesome gathering about Love, Health And Money (see the pre-registration link below). ??NEWSFLASH!

Better Man.
~~~~~~~~~~~~`Just to see you smile, I’d do anything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taehyung x Oc
Rated 18 +
Post Divorce, Getting Back Together, Second chances, Angst.
Chapter 1    Chapter 2   Chapter 3   Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Do you ever truly know what someone is feeling?
You could spend decades , breathing the same air, hands held , your fingers brushing ....connected physically and even mentally but a person’s emotions, they’re hidden away. 
You only ever know what they’re willing to show .
And yet, 
all of us build relationships, convinced that we know exactly what the other person will feel when we act a certain way. Buying her flowers will make happy....visiting him at work will take away that little bit of stress.
But sometimes, what we think someone feels, may not be what they truly feel.
And that’s when your actions, well intended actions..... end up with disastrous consequences. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“So....last night...” Jungkook’s teasing voice did nothing to ease the pounding in my head.
“I do believe you promised not to tease me about it if I drank two glasses of water, which I did by the way.” I told him firmly, trying to bring the words on my planner into focus as i squinted. Three meeting. Each two hours long. 
kill me now. 
“I wanted to ask HR to give you the day off but you have quite a schedule today. “ He said casually,  leaning over me to peer into the planner . I glanced at his wrist resting on the table, the expensive rolex showing that it was a little past 9. 
“ We’re planning out the Christmas campaign first and I have a meeting with Taehyung’s team in the afternoon so we can go over the contract see if they have any requirements and then the social media team in the evening at four to discuss promos and revamping the website.” I glanced up at him. 
He gave me a smile before casually leaning down, lightly gripping my chin and tilting my face up. I felt the brush of his lips against mine, fleeting and gentle. 
‘You’re beautiful.” He smiled. 
I blinked.
And then took a deep breath.
“Your wife...” I said softly. “ I saw her today.” 
Jungkook went completely still at that. 
“She was waiting in the lobby on my way up. I didn’t know who you were married to and I was a little shocked and also little upset because....” I glanced at him. “ She was my best friend in college. “
Jungkook swore. 
“Fuck.. I told her to stay the fuck away from my company. Did she say something to you?” 
i shook my head.
“I didn’t greet her because I wasn’t sure if she remembered me. And I wasn’t sure if i was remembering her right. i didn’t know she was your wife till i heard someone mention it in the elevator on my way up. Did you know that she and i knew each other?” 
Jungkook looked just a little guilty.
“When you first joined the company, she saw your resume on my cvomputer. told me a lot about you. She remembers you. Fondly. She wanted to come meet you but...things happened.  “ He shrugged.
Things like infidelity and divorces . 
“Ahh...” I smiled. “ Tell me i wasn’t another way to get back at your ex wife, Jeon Jungkook ssi...” 
He made a noise of protest.
“no... No of course not Christ...it’s just...I’ll admit she made me curious about you. She spoke of you being spontaneous and fun and wild and I’d seen you as this demure, elegant woman in the office. i was curious. I wanted to know which one was the real you. “
“Were you curious before she cheated....or after?”
“ Jang Mi...this isn’t what it looks like .. I’m done with her. She fucked my best buddy and ruined my fucking life...” He sounded pained. 
I frowned. 
“It’s hard to believe she would do something like that. The Aera i remember had a very strong moral compass.” 
“Yeah well, apparently, you can live whole entire lives with someone and never really know the person. Listen, do we really have to talk about my ex wife?” He asked, eyes shining with discomfort. 
I shrugged.
“I’m not fond of drama. I won’t tangle myself in a relationship that risks hurting a lot of people Jungkook. That’s just not the kind of person I am. I’m sorry.” 
He made a noise of impatience, shaking his head. 
“We won’t be hurting anyone... We have fun together. We like each other. We’re attracted to each other...that’s all that matters....” He said sharply.
“ If we were in our twenties , without kids ....maybe. But that's not how it is now. I have a son, you have a daughter and I think I’m not completely over my marriage yet.” I said softly. 
He froze.
“And i don’t think you’re completely over your wife either.” I smiled.
He glared at me. 
“Ex-wife.” He snarled.
“She makes you feel things, Jungkook. You need to sort that out before you start something new with someone else. I’m only saying this because we’re old enough not to 
He growled and punched the desk. 
“God, how can she keep ruining my life even when she’s out of it.” He muttered, stepping away from me and moving to the door. 
I watched him storm out of my office and bit my lip. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the time evening rolled around, I was exhausted. But the day had been productive and I was happy because the contract had been finalized, the theme had been decided and we’d also spent an amazing three hours redesigning the website. Although it wasn’t in my job description I had studied web design in college and the creative department always welcomed my inputs. 
“You’re in a good mood...” Taehyung’s voice was a complete surprise and I turned to him, shocked. He was dressed in a black t shirt and blue jeans and sneakers and looked a whole decade younger. 
I felt affection rise up my throat so fast I nearly choked. 
“What are you doing here?”
“My agent told me you guys were incredibly cooperative today. She also told me you were quite possibly the loveliest woman she’s ever met and that I’m an idiot to have let you go.” He smiled. 
I laughed, shaking my head and my gaze shifted to the small bunch of tiger lilies in his hand. 
I felt warmth bloom in my chest. 
“You remembered.” I said softly, pleased. 
“Thirteen years since our first date.  The lily to my tiger. ” He held the flowers to me and I grinned, pressing the flowers to my chest. 
“Man I feel old.” I muttered.
“You are old.” Tae grinned and i grimaced, before tossing him a glare. . 
“You’re supposed to say I still look as beautiful as i did thirteen years ago.” I said. 
“But you don.t” He grinned impishly. “ You look a billion times  more  beautiful.” 
I felt the atmosphere shift, the air charged with something dangerous and i looked away. Usually, this was when I would laugh and throw my arms around him. Pull him close and press my lips against his , slip my fingers into his t shirt and trace the skin of his back. Feel his hands on my waist as he lifted me up to twirl me around and kiss me just like that. 
How often had we kissed that way? Thirteen years is a long time to count the number of kisses we’d shared. 
We both stayed quiet, looking anywhere but at each other.
“I...there’s a reason I came.” He said finally.
I glanced at him.
“Oh?”
“The lawyer. Ms. Lee she ... recommended a relationship counselor”
I blinked, my breath catching in my throat. 
“Taehyung we’re-”
“Just hear me out. Its not mandatory and it won’t affect the divorce in anyway. its just something the court offers all couples going through a divorce and we’re free to refuse it. “
“Did you?” I asked. 
“Did I what?”
“Refuse it. Did you tell her no?” 
He stared at me. 
“No.” He said finally.
I exhaled sharply.
“Wow.” I whispered, feeling jittery and unbalanced. He sighed and came closer, reaching out to lightly grip my wrists. I let him tug me closer into a hug and held him tight, my heart pounding with anxiety.
“Mia.... I just... I’m not saying we should try to fix this.... relationship.” He said softly, eyes gentle and pleading, “  I just think this whole thing has taken a toll on both of us and maybe we can heal better if we get the help of a professional. Come out of this with closure. Instead of battling guilt and regrets everyday. Just ....it could help us move on. Don’t you think?”
You could never really tell what the other person is feeling. 
I couldn’t tell what Taehyung was feeling right now? 
Hope ?
Hope that we would fix our marriage....
or maybe hope that he would finally move on from me.. Maybe this whole thing was his final attempt to end things with me for good. So he could walk out of my life forever without any lingering guilt or regret. 
I would never know. 
I clung to him harder and somehow the pain of the entire two years we’d been apart, rammed into me at once. 
I choked on a sob. Breathing became difficult and I felt myself gasping for air. 
“Mia?” Taehyung’s panicked voice was the last sane thought that registered. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Are you sure you’re going to be okay? I can stay the night if you want. I’ll sleep in the spare bedroom . ” Taehyung whispered,  seated on the warm fluffy blanket that he’d managed to dig out of the closet in the spare bedroom. i was already tucked into the bed, fingers clutching the satin lined edges . 
i shook my head.
“I know how much you need your gazillion pillows. Go on... I’ll be fine.”
“i feel terrible. i pushed you into a panic attack.”
I waved off the guilty words. 
“You didn’t . i was already a little frayed and i guess i haven’t really been processing all the stuff between us the way i should have. i just got a little overwhelmed.” 
A panic attack. At the age of 32. The last time i had one I was twenty four. I wanted to crawl into the bed and never resurface. 
Taehyung’s gentle fingers , stroking my cheek brought me out of my own head. 
“I was so scared.” He said softly and my heart ached.
“I’m sorry i scared you.” I said apologetically, gripping his wrists lightly and stroking the skin there with my thumb. 
“I really want to stay. i don’t think I’ll be able to sleep if I go home right now.” He whispered. 
I bit my lips. 
“Okay... but... You need to hug something. To sleep. “ 
He grinned at that. 
“I’m old enough to survive one night without a pillow, Mia .” he chuckled. 
I flushed, sinking deeper into the covers.
“Okay.” 
“You don’t have to worry about the counselor thing. I’ll tell Lee we don’t want to do any-”
“No!!” I said quickly, a lot  louder than I’d intended. 
Taehyung blinked.
“I just... I realized that I haven’t been dealing with any of this...the right way. I’m so confused and disoriented all the time and I .. I don’t mind getting some help. To sort things out. Just for myself you know...without the pressure of trying to fix...well us.” I finished .
Taehyung gave me a wide smile before bending down and kissing my forehead.
“ Okay, Mia mine. Sleep well, and I’ll see you in the morning.”

Chapter 1 Page 1 It's no exaggeration to say that the name "Li Zeyan" has run through my entire high school era.  This "evil fate" probably starts with a 31-point Chinese test paper. I'm Gao Qishan, only 17 years old at that time, but there are so many things that usually interest me. Games, animations, and football are nothing compared than reading a book in a room. But hey, it's a pity that my dad doesn't think so. "I only scored 31 points in the Chinese test, and I'm still here with a hippie smile!" In the study, the old man blew his beard, looking disappointed, "How can my son be so useless!" Page 2 "Your son is very capable. I was the MVP of the basketball game last night!" "Your PPP is useless! You are in the second year of high school, not the second grade of elementary school! You have a 31-point score and you have a face to play basketball? You don't have any shame or a competitive spirit. Do you not want to go to college anymore?!"  . I was about to reply impatiently, the old man took out a magazine from somewhere, poked his hand at the cover and yelled at me: "Look at the person. He founded the company at the age of 20. In just two years, he has been on the "Business Rising Stars" cover interview! Look at yourself again, someone who is almost 17 years old and does not have the realization of it, do you want to be in the worst generation in the future, ah?!" Page 3 I'm not happy to hear this: "What's so great about starting a company? Your son, I will start a company in minutes!” "I'm almost out of school, and I started my own company? Oh, I'm going to be better!" The old man raised his head, and the thick magazine almost hit my handsome face.  "Learn from others, and don't give me daydreaming here!" Page 4 I grabbed this "Business Rising Stars" with enthusiasm. A decent young man in a suit was looking ahead through the photo. On the cover was a striking headline: "Li Zeyan, an astounding leader in Lianyu City.” "This title is exaggerated!" Even if I was taught by Lao Gao, I was inexplicably better compared with this Li Zeyan, and I just threw the magazine under the sofa. Who wants to learn from him? Just looking at it is a tarnish to my ability! Page 5 But somehow, at night I tossed and turned and I couldn't fall asleep! The more I closed my eyes, the more uncomfortable I was, what did Li Zeyan do. When I turned over for the 100th time, I suddenly sat up. It was a task by old Gao to read the magazine anyway, so I decided to retrieve the magazine and just take a look. After sneaking into the study room, it took me a long time to find the magazine in the innermost part of the sofa. Page 6 "... Although Li Zeyan is only 22 years old, he is already the president of Huarui, an emerging medium-sized company in Lianyu City.  Starting from scratch, he started from a small office to now has hundreds of people. Every step he walks is particularly solid and decisive. Li Zeyan’s way of business is beyond ordinary. He is like a lion, born with a King's aura." All these compliments just for this, isn't it just descriptions of someone starting their own company? I just haven't paid much attention to reading.  Just relying on my ingenuity, and getting a high score on the tests, it is absolutely nothing when it comes to starting a company. Hmph, just you wait. Chapter 2 Page 1 The university in City A is not only one of the top five in the province, but also the top five in the country. It is a university that I, Gao Qishan was admitted to dignifiedly! How about that, I said I'm absolutely fine. In a blink of an eye, the freshman year has passed. In the past two years, I have also paid a little attention to Huarui. The development has been okay, it has not closed down, and the scale has doubled.  It's just normal development. Is it worth the old Gao's praise from time to time?  Every time he flipped through a financial magazine and sighed, "You are so young, so good", it sounds a bit too much. Page 2 As the saying goes, "Seeing is believing", I think this sentence is right.  Taking advantage of the summer vacation, I decided to apply for Huarui's summer internship to see in person how the company is, just not to waste my talents and financial knowledge. Soon I entered the building, but how can the interviewer in the middle feel a bit familiar, the more I look at it, the more I recognize... Wait, isn't it exactly Li Zeyan?! What's happening, is Huarui going bankrupt? Why is the president personally do the interviewing for the summer interns? Page 3 "Manager Chen has something to do, I happen to be free." Probably my shock expression was too obvious. Li Zeyan flipped through the information at hand and looked up at me blankly.  "Gao Qishan? First, briefly introduce yourself." I don't know what's going on. I was so startled by Li Zeyan that I couldn't help but straighten up.  After swallowing my throat, I mobilized all my attention, took a deep breath and said, "Hello, my name is Gao Qishan, and I am a freshman in the Department of Economics and Management of the University of City A..." Page 4 After introducing himself, Li Zeyan asked a few more related professional questions. This kind of small question is nothing to me. It seems that Huarui’s interview is nothing more than that. He occasionally knocked his fingers on the table subconsciously, and asked with a deep gaze: "Why do you want to come to Huarui for an internship?" The continuous response made me more and more relaxed. I changed my sitting position and quickly thought about how to deal with this new question. Judging from previous information, Li Zeyan is a person who likes to win at everything. He should appreciate the kind of answers that seem extraordinarily confident, right? Page 5 After carefully thinking about this, I straightened my back and raised my chin and said: Although Huarui is quite a new company, it has grown at an amazing speed, and the achievements it has made so far are obvious to all in the industry.  And although I am a freshman student, I think I have a very strong learning ability. In this regard, I have a lot of similarities with Huarui. Therefore, I think Huarui is very suitable for me and will definitely make me grow faster. Of course, I can definitely give back the same freshness and vitality for Huarui. With a confident smile, I finished my speech and waited quietly for Li Zeyan's nod. But to my surprise, a few seconds later I was greeted by a frown from Li Zeyan. Page 6 "It seems that you have confidence in yourself. To be a man and to do things really requires self-confidence, but everything must be controlled." Li Zeyan stared at me and said in a hurry, "Only by maintaining reflection and introspection can we truly make progress." I understood his words, and my face flushed. A few days later, I really received a notice from HR (Human Resources) and I didn't get hired. Page 7 Although I had a foreseeable result from Li Zeyan's remarks, when I really received a reply and recalled the interview scene, I was still very angry. After my sophomore year, I went back to the final exams and tried to fight for the first place. I'll make sure that my ambitions are not just mere words. I have written down the "new hatred and old hatred" on my notes. I will definitely use the shortest time to create my own territory, leaving Huarui far behind! Chapter 3 Page 1 Today is the first day of my "Yuanshan Group" moving to a new building.  Morning light came in from the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, and I stood by the desk, proudly holding on to the brand-new office chair. In the next semester of the junior year, I used the dividends I participated in the project as the start-up capital, and I didn't need a penny higher than the old one, so my "distant mountain" just rose from the ground.  Isn’t it just 20-year-old to start a company from scratch? What's the difficulty?  When I founded Yuanshan, I was exactly 21, and the rounding is almost the same as Li Zeyan.  Because of this, my old man, Lao Gao stopped training me long ago, and I guess he must have praised me secretly. Page 2 In just a few years, Yuanshan has grown from a small company of eight people to a scale that now occupies a seven-story high-end office building, and the suffix has also changed from "company" to the word "group".  To be honest, my founder is very satisfied with Yuanshan's growth.  Although there is still a certain distance from Huarui, after all, they are also developing along the way, but it doesn't matter, I am still young, and sooner or later I can catch up. It didn't take long before the opportunity to "catch up" came. Page 3 I was originally interested in the land to the north of Lianyu City. When I heard that Huarui was also planning to bid on that land, I became more interested.  The Lianyu Municipal Government intends to develop the somewhat hindered northern side. At present, construction has begun to build a crossing bridge and a shopping mall, and this piece of land is nearby. "It is more than enough to build a six-star resort with 18,000 square meters and the supporting facilities can be added. Maybe Huarui made the same idea." I have paid attention to the recent developments of Huarui and have invested in four resort hotels one after another. The senior management of the company also agreed that the land is worthwhile, and if it can be won within the highest valuation of 89 million yuan, it should make a profit without losing it. Page 4 A month later, I came to the auction site with confidence.  Sitting in front of me at ten o'clock is Li Zeyan, the president of Huarui in a suit and leather shoes. After a few years of absence, I can finally compete with him. On the stage, the auctioneer gave an impassioned introduction to the land, and then said in a melodious tone: "The starting price is 35 million, and the auction will begin now!" As soon as the voice fell, several companies immediately raised their signs. But my opponent is Huarui. It is still early, so I have to wait for Huarui to make a move. Page 5 When the bidding became increasingly fierce, Li Zeyan finally raised his placard for the first time: "60 million." The opponent finally appeared, and I immediately raised the number plate: "61 million." As if he was just encountering an ordinary bidder, Li Zeyan never answered with words, but raised his placard again: "70 million." I continued to chase: "71 million!" Side to the front, Li Zeyan seemed to raise his eyebrows slightly. After a few seconds, he raised the number plate again, and said: "80 million." Page 6 "81 million!" As if finally realizing my bite, Li Zeyan glanced at me slightly sideways, then he raised the number plate, the noise was low and clear: "90 million." This figure has already exceeded the company's highest valuation, and the assistant quietly tugged on my sleeve, beckoning me to forget it. But if I really give up on this, I still feel no sigh of relief in my heart. The auctioneer has already shouted in front: "90 million twice." Page 7 "100 million!" My voice came out, at the last moment. Of course, Li Zeyan finally gave me a straight look. I watched his hand nervously, and saw that the number plate was never raised again, and the auctioneer had already shouted excitedly: "One hundred million! Yuanshan Group has come out of one hundred million! One hundred million once! Three hundred million!, make a deal!" Page 8 Finally got it!  Such a valuable piece of land I believe it will be a great help to Yuanshan, and it’s just around the corner to get rid of Huarui. I didn't even consider the cost of 100 million yuan. I just felt that my body was comfortable and exuberant, and the bright prospects were beckoning me. When Li Zeyan passed by me, my triumphant pride couldn't stop. "Thanks to Mr. Li for the bidding this time." Page 9 Li Zeyan put his suit jacket on one hand, and passed by me. I thought he would argue with me back, but Li Zeyan just raised his eyebrows uninterested, and then strode away without looking back. Okay, as the winner of the auction, I allow the loser to occasionally gaffe. Just when I was gearing up to do a big job, the Finance Department urgently sent a bad report. Due to my "passionate bidding", Yuanshan's capital chain suddenly had a problem. Chapter 4 Page 1 I urgently convened a high-level meeting, and after several discussions, the best solution at present turned out to be to invest in Huarui! Personally speaking, I have a hundred reluctances in my heart.  Not long before the auction, I took the initiative to bow to Hua Rui. Didn't that slap me in the face severely. However, the cruel reality lies in front of us. Yuanshan is not only my own person, but also the collective effort of hundreds of employees.  To let Yuanshan survive this crisis steadily, I can only and must "take the initiative to surrender" to Huarui. Forget it, "vote" just "vote"!  Although it was a mistake in my decision-making this time, Yuanshan's development prospects are so good that Li Zeyan should never not invest as long as his eyes are correct. Page 2 However, the negotiation process is still more difficult than I expected. It is not that Huarui has no intention to invest, but almost all the conditions listed are on the lowest line of the distant mountains. "If I remember correctly, the creditworthiness of Huarui's previous investment in the gaze lock company is not very high." I fought hard against the low pressure, and Yuanshan's creditworthiness has always been in the top four in the industry. "...with Yuanshan's creditworthiness Huarui's right to speak will definitely be improved. I think Mr. Li can think about it again." Page 3 "Do you think you are still eligible to negotiate terms with me?" Li Zeyan straightened his mouth, exuding deterrence, "...Huarui Investment in Yuanshan is not for charity, and has no obligation to pay for your suicidal behavior." He raised his hand and glanced at his watch, with a hint of impatience on his face: "Think carefully about it yourself." The long negotiation was finally over. Although Yuanshan and Huarui finally reached a cooperation intention, the whole process failed me. I thought I was about to be on the same line of competition with Li Zeyan, but I was beaten back to the former "interviewer" again. Page 4 By the area downstairs in Huarui, I was smoking a stuffy cigarette, and suddenly there was a faint sound of footsteps behind me. It turned out to be Li Zeyan. Although he was still expressionless, the murderous aura and arrogance from the negotiations seemed to have diminished. Li Zeyan steadily walked to my side: "Gao Qishan, I remember you once came to interview for a summer internship." I didn't expect Li Zeyan to take the initiative to speak. I was surprised. He said: "Several years have passed, and it seems that self-confidence is increasing." If it wasn't for my lose, I stood up slightly: “Although I made a mistake this time, as far as the strength of Yuanshan is concerned, I have the capital to be confident." Page 5 "Yuanshan's strength is indeed pretty good, but don't rush to eat the cakes that you can't eat for the time being. Being high is far from a long-term plan for enterprise development." Li Zeyan said lightly, and took out a card from his pocket and handed it to me, "There will be a practical business forum in Lianyu City next week. You can come and listen when you have time." A practical business forum? What do you mean, is he mocking me for being too pragmatic? The inexplicable enthusiasm and self-esteem suddenly appeared, and I blurted out: "Mr. Li, even if Yuanshan is really not as good as Huarui now, there is no need to humiliate people like this, right?" Page 6 Li Zeyan frowned: "What are you talking about?" He paused, his eyes sinking, "I thought you would be an opponent you could look forward to, but I didn't expect the vision to be just like that." Without additional explanation, Li Zeyan turned and walked away after speaking. I was stunned, looking at Li Zeyan's steadily leaving behind, I couldn't help but relive the conversation just now in my mind. Could it be that Li Zeyan meant that because he regarded me as a potential opponent and hoped that this opponent could become stronger and more competitive, did he propose to let me participate in the business forum? Page 7 That's right, it seems that only such an explanation can make sense! Thinking of this, I couldn't help blowing a whistle. After all, it was an "imaginary enemy" and pursuit of goals since the age of 17, which can be affirmed and recognized by Li Zeyan. It is simply an easter egg that comes with the negotiation, and it is worthy of the old man to praise me ten times. I was being silly and happy. Suddenly my fingers hurt, I have forgotten about my cigarette that was about to burn my fingers! Chapter 5 Page 1 With Huarui's capital injection, Yuanshan passed the crisis steadily. After more than half a year, the foundation of the resort has gradually taken shape. Just when everything seemed to be going in a good direction, early this morning, the news of "the crash of the president of Huarui" directly bombed all major platforms.  Reminiscent of the so-called "homicide list" that was suddenly leaked on the internet a few days ago, I inexplicably feel that these two things may have some connection. Who on earth wants Huarui to sink in the water? Wait a minute, which company announced the list. Could it be that their person in charge is secretly playing tricks? Page 2 Before I could find anything out of my investigation, within a few days, the news of "Which company claims that Huarui has maliciously acquired a large number of pharmaceutical companies" once again detonated all platforms! "Deliberately monopolizing the pharmaceutical market will inevitably cause the price of medicines to rise, which is obvious." "Just for profit, this behavior is very bad!" "Even Huarui's own workers and can't stand it, which shows how terrible Li Zeyan's actions are!" Page 3 Opinions on the Internet are divergent, and public grievances are boiling, and they all accuse Huarui. But I don’t believe it. Although I have only met Li Zeyan several times in person, for so many years, because I have always regarded him as an opponent and target, I have studied Huarui and Li Zeyan’s behavior more than anyone else. The nonsense on the Internet, I don't believe a word! I browsed the web quickly, staring at the almost identical title and searched viciously. Page 4 "Huarui’s reputation plummeted, Li Zeyan fell into a situation where everyone was clamoring and angry, and the heads of the company was clearly cut off from him." In the video, the host's voice kept ringing into my ears. All the signs made me firmer in my previous thoughts: It must be looking at which company is crossing the river to demolish the bridge! I immediately called the assistant to the inside line: "How much do you hire me for a large number of naval forces? How many can you hire? How many! That's right, I have to spare no effort to clarify for Huarui, and by the way, I will focus on the company. Going right now!" I know that this "bad strategy" and only a small help but I haven't beaten Li Zeyan righteously, how could Huarui have an accident in such a situation! What I want is not the taste of winning without a fight. Page 5 Probably because of anger, I couldn't help but send a message to Li Zeyan: The outside world said that Huarui's energy is exhausted. You will not be reduced to the point where you still need to borrow money from me, right?" This message was sent, and I did not expect Li Zeyan to reply to me. However, when it was almost midnight, I suddenly received an email from Huarui. ‘Huarui has always been a responsible company, and will do what it says without fear of any storms. Now everything is running normally, you don't need to worry about it.’ Signer: Li Zeyan. Page 6 Looking at this email, I couldn't help but smile in the middle of the night. Also, Huarui has always been fighting steadily, and Li Zeyan has never fought unprepared battles. Maybe he is playing a big move. Otherwise, how can I say that he is my respectable and close opponent! As for my secret match with Li Zeyan. Give me another three or four years to see who wins and who loses.

 Anon requested: i got you fam - neil melendez x reader but like 70% angst, 30% fluff. rest is up to you :)
A/N: Two stories in one day, this is getting crazy. Also not 400 words but 1700(oops) 
Falling for a surgeon was probably never a good idea just thinking about the long days and crazy hours. But being a nurse and falling for the top surgeon was probably even a worse idea. The two of them had gotten along the moment y/n set foot into the hospital as a new nurse. She had learned so much from him and he always seemed to pick her for the surgeries whenever he could. But for her own good y/n had decided this needed to stop, she was on her way to make some great progress career and even gotten a job offer in a more specialized hospital. Y/n had been hesitant to take it but she also knew she couldn’t let her feelings for Neil Melendez get in the way of that. 
Y/n was busy going through a couple files when Neil leaned against the desk “Morning y/n.” “Good morning Dr. Melendez.” She coldly greeted him without looking up He got a little thrown off by her sudden change in behavior but continued either way “I have an interesting surgery on my schedule next week and I want you to be there.” “I’m afraid I won’t be able to do that Dr. Melendez.” Y/n told him, finally looking up from the files. “Why not?” “Because that is my only day off next week.” “Can’t you change shifts? “No I can’t. I might have to plan my whole schedule around you, but luckily I don’t have to do that in my private life.” Y/n knew it was not fair at all to say something like that and she didn’t mean a word of it, but she needed to do something to get some distance from him and this seemed a good step. “Okay then, I’ll see you later y/n.” He excused himself, everything from his posture showed his confusion from the way she had just spoken to him. Jasmine, one of the older nurses chuckled “I’ve never seen dr. Melendez so shaken, I don’t know what you do to him but he really has the hots for you.” “I don’t know what you’re talking about Jasmine.” Y/n got up from her seat and went to check on her patients.  Behaving like this was nothing like her, but she tried to convince herself that she needed to create some distance between her and Neil to be able to move on.
The week whole week had been a challenge for her, she tried to keep Neil at a distance and had to fight the urge to apologize and tell him how she really felt. Y/n tried communicate with the Residents and Dr. Lim to avoid him as much as possible. Of course people noticed her change in behavior, but barely anyone tried to figure out why. Alex and Claire tried to get something out of her when they went out for drinks but they quickly realized she wasn’t spilling anything. Y/n did tell them about the job offer she had gotten and they both were really excited for her. After they finished Alex walked her home and started talking again “What is holding you back?” “What you mean?” Alex shook his head “The offer is a great opportunity, but something is holding you back.” “It’s nothing Alex, I just need some time to think. It’s a big decision.” “It is.” Alex agreed “But you want to take it, that’s why your behavior changed. Look you don’t have to tell me what it is, all I know is that pushing people away is not going to make this decision easier.”
The next morning y/n was called early, Jasmin had called in sick and they needed someone to fill in for the operation Melendez had told y/n about the week before. With a healthy dose of reluctance she got out of bed and got ready for work. Neil had been right, this surgery was a great opportunity. Not only the surgery was an interesting one, but the patient as well he was some criminal who was both a flight risk and dangerous. Would it been two weeks earlier y/n would be the most excited one there, but things were different now.  “Nurse l/n I’m surprised to see you here, I thought your schedule wasn’t revolved around me.” Neil remarked when he saw her in the OR. “I’m here because Jasmin got sick and someone had to fill in for her Dr. Melendez.” Y/n remained professional, pretending she didn’t hear the angry undertone in his voice. “Alright then.” Without to many more words the team started the operation, Melendez communicated as little as he could with her
Y/n was placed in charge of the care around their patient, protocol stated he was kept handcuffed to his bed, communication mostly went through the intercom and they could never go in the room alone. The officers were guarding the room in case something happened. Everything seemed normal he had woken up, still weak but he responded to all the test, his vital signs were steady and so it looked like she was going to get home on time. Y/n got up to do a final check on the patient “How are you feeling? Is there anything I can get you before the next shift takes over?” Y/n waited a moment  for the man to respond but he didn’t. “Sir, do you hear me?” y/n tapped on the window to see if he’d respond but he didn’t. “Page Dr. Park and Dr. Melendez please.” Y/n called to the nurse station She opened the door to see what was wrong, completely forgetting protocol. “Sir are you alright?” she checked the machines but the vital signs seemed completely normal. She checked his pulse, but when she did she noticed his cuff wasn’t on there. Before she did much as look up she felt multiple punches. She hit her head against the floor as she fell down, but before things could get worse, Park, Melendez and the two officers pulled him away from her. “Claire take care of y/n, now!” Melendez called before sedating the man. Claire helped her up and got her out of the room and into another to treat her. Alex soon followed and told a nurse to prep for both x-ray of her chest and a ct-abdomen. Not much later Dr Melendez stormed into the room “What were you thinking?!” Neil started to yell at her “You knew the protocol!” “Neil.” Claire tried “He wasn’t responding, I did what I thought I needed to do.” Y/n calmly responded, her head was still pounding, her arm hurt and she noticed she had some trouble breathing. “Why didn’t you wait until one of us was there?” Park tried to be the voice of reason between the two of them. “You knew he was dangerous, you knew you shouldn’t go in alone and what you did was stupid!” Neil yelled again. “Why don’t you keep an eye on him next time, if you know it all so well.” “I don’t know what I did to you to deserve this attitude this past week, but you better get it together! You know better than this.” y/n tried to ignore the desperate undertone in his voice “Don’t worry about that Dr. Melendez, I won’t be your problem for very much longer.” “What?” “I’ve been offered a job at another hospital and I’ve just decided to take it.” Y/n tried to get up from the bed, she needed to get away from him before she would do something stupid. “Y/n stop you need to stay in bed, we still have to see if there is internal damage.” Alex tried to get her back into the bed. She tried to push him away but the last thing she felt was the cold floor before her whole world went dark.
Y/n woke up to soothing sound of the monitors, only to realize the monitors were not a normal sound to wake up to. As she opened her eyes it took a minute to realize what had happened. She looked at the clock which was on 3 o’clock and judging by the darkness she saw through the window it was the middle of the night. “You’re awake.” She looked to the other side of her bed, not realizing he had been sitting there holding onto her hand “What are you doing here?” “You collapsed right in front of me, you didn’t think I’d just leave did you?” “I’m sorry.” “Don’t  be.” He assured her “You made a mistake that’s all, I’m just glad that you’re okay now.” “I meant for my behavior this week, I thought it would make it easier for myself to push you away.” She confessed “Would make what easier? Taking that job offer?” Neil was a little confused “You know I’d never hold you back, right? Park told me about it, it’s an amazing opportunity and you deserve it.” “I know you wouldn’t hold me back.” y/n removed her hand from his “But I would hold myself back, because of my feelings for you.” Maybe it were the drugs in her system that made it so easy to tell how she felt or maybe it was the fact that she was just attacked but she wasn’t afraid anymore. “Why didn’t you tell me?” “I was to scared to ruin our friendship, I know it’s such a cliché.” Neil couldn’t help but laugh “I don’t care if it’s cliché or not, I wish you told me sooner.” He took her hand in his once again. “Because I could have put your mind at ease, I like you y/n. I might even go as far as to say that I love you.” “Are you serious?” “I am.” He promised “And that doesn’t change if you take another job. It anything it would make things easier, since we wouldn’t have any problems with HR.” Y/n laughed for a short moment before wincing in pain “We’ll talk about this later over a dinner, okay? Right now you have to rest and get better.”

For you, I'll Stay : Pt.2
Tumblr media
Dabi is one of the top soldiers of the League of Villains. He does the dirty work and feels the stain of crime on his hands. You're an Assistant Inspector at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, resigned to records-keeping instead of doing actual fieldwork. What happens when these two become intertwined in the most prominent political event that changed the era of 1990's Tokyo Japan?
Warnings: Violence (a girl gets beat up in this chapter), gangs, eventual smut(not in this chapter tho)
Btw, in this dabi doesn't have any scars on his face!
Azabu Gardens,
Moto-Azabu 3-7-5 Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-0046.
January 9, 1990, Tuesday.
The League
20:00 hours
The first rays of the morning began to creep into the premises of their mansion, illuminating the entirety of their eight-hectare complex. The lawn had been freshly mowed and the foyer had been polished to sparkling clean, as per the orders of their leader. It had been his first order of business during the general assembly with the entire brotherhood.
The soldiers were understandably taken aback at hearing him rattle off a list of things to do which were, in essence, house chores. From checking the car engines, laundering their clothes, and stocking up on groceries, the loyal members followed everything down to the very last detail, albeit with a little curiosity as to why they were doing this when they were supposed to be preparing for a major operation set later in the day.
Meanwhile the boss carried out everything as if it was business as usual. They had convened at their usual 10:00 am meeting at the solarium, exchanging data and intel regarding any updates on their framework's current phase. After making sure that everything was in order–from the time it would take to execute the operation to the time it would take for the police to arrive on scene, they called it a day and retired to their own rooms.
That was this morning.
Preparations were over and it was almost nearing midnight–time to start the show.
Everyone had gotten dressed in the same all-black attire, distinguished only by the formality of their suit and quality of the fabric. The leader had worn a two-piece suit, while the soldiers only had lightweight turtlenecks to pair with their slacks.
The cars were ready by the driveway, it's trunks loaded with a series of guns, masks and the deactivate system; and everyone had lined up at the foyer, at the foot of the grand staircase, awaiting the greeting and instructions of their boss.
"Good evening gentlemen," his voice didn't have that booming quality that most of his leaders had, but the clarity of his diction and richness of his timbre proved sufficient to command everyone's attention. He didn't need any of the pomp or fanfare that was usually associated with the league–his presence alone was enough.
There weren't many of them tonight, it was a small operation that needed only seven of their best men; even so, his under-boss, and the rest of his soldiers were waiting with bated breath at what he was about to say.
Finally standing by the newel post, he slowly slips on his leather gloves and begins to address their small unit.
"A rundown Kurogiri," he instructs his under-boss, with not so much as a glance spared his way.
"Today we initiate phase 2.1 of our framework," Kurogiri steps out of the line and proceeds to hand out a file on their operation and walkie-talkies to the soldiers. "Team A, Touya and Atsuhiro, will take care of the decoy. Team B, Himiko and Jin, will secure the target. Team C, Magne and Spinner, will deactivate the sensors and tip the police," he finishes, working his way back to his position beside their leader.
Tomura looks at him with a quirked eyebrow, expectant.
Kurogiri clears his throat. "Phase 2.2 of the framework will begin immediately after."
6 Chome-10-1 Roppongi, Minato City, Tokyo 106-6108, Japan.
The Takahashi Residence.
21:30 hrs.
As soon as Kurogiri parked the car in an empty lot two blocks from the site, he turned on their linked communication system and radioed to their leader that they were ready.
"Masks and Positions," Tomura instructed."Remember, one slip up will cost the entire operation."
Save for the thrumming of the engine, their leaders voice was the only thing that had cut through the nights silence.
"Yep, Tomura everyone is positioned," Kurogiri confirms, and signals to Team A that they were good to go.
As soon as they were given the signal, Touya and Atsuhiro make their way to the site, with the latter updating Tomura about their position. "Currently making my way into the Takahashi Residence along with Touya."
As they stopped to confirm that it was indeed the residence of the Minister of National Defence, their leader warns, "Keep an eye out for the security Atsuhiro," both soldiers nod their assent, replying that they located a blind spot in the houses security system and private guards.
After signalling Team B to follow, Kurogiri had set up operations control with Magne and Spinner. Just as they had gotten access into the house's security system, Tomura radios, "Kurogiri, do you copy?"
"Yes, I copy," the under-boss replies, holding the walkie-talkie in one hand and the other sifting through the nights operation file.
"Do you have a visual on the Minister and his wife?" Tomura  asks.
"Yes," he turns around to look at Magne and Spinners surveillance feed, which was focused on the master bedroom.
"They're currently separated from the decoy."
"Good." Tomura  affirms. "Magne, when Atsuhiro, Touya, Jin and Himiko are in place you'll override the security system, understand?"
"Understood!" the soldier nods while simultaneously preparing all the codes needed to deactivate the system.
"Once Touya and Atsuhiro take care of the decoy, that's when Himiko and Jin will go and search for the target," Tomura reminds, looking over at his copy of the operation file as well.
"Spinner, monitor all frequencies from a two-kilometre radius of the site. If anyone reports anything before we do then I want to hear it. If anyone is even in the middle of dialling a government or police number, I want to be the first to know, understood?"
"Gotcha boss," Spinner confirms. "The hacking system is ready to go, all lines within a two-kilometre radius is tapped as well."
21:42 hours.
After a preliminary entry into the estate, the four soldiers settle in their own entry points and radio back. "Spinner, we're in place, you can drop the security."
"Alright. You have a little over thirty minutes before the back-up security kicks in," the enthusiastic man programmes a few codes and counts backwards, "it's down in...5, 4, 3, 2, 1."
"Go." A deep voice follows, alerting the four soldiers on-site.
For a second, Team A and B thought it has been their leader who had addressed them, but immediately broke out into grins when the voice followed with, "Be careful in there guys."
''Don't worry, Kurogiri." Jin  assures, giving Himiko, Atsuhiro and Touya a thumbs up. "We've got this"
The four soldiers discreetly jump over the deactivated sensors and immediately break into action, disarming the guards and eventually knocking them unconscious by landing considerably hard blows to their neck, causing their head to snap to the side.
After slipping past the unconscious guards, Atsuhiro and Touya pry open one of the windows, climbing in quietly while Himiko and Jin wait outside.
Team A immediately proceeds to the target's room, bolting the maid's quarters from the outside after unfortunately having to knock her out as well.
The two check their copy of the house's floor plan, with Touya sending a glance to Atsuhiro before slowly opening the door into one of the mansion's bedrooms.
In the room sat 18-year old Takahashi Yua. with her back facing Atsuhiro and Touya slowly the boys made their way to her and in mere seconds Atsuhiro had his hands over Yua's mouth and held her in place.
The shocked girl could do nothing but try to thrash around and scream for help but Touya tied her hands and gagged her.
Touya then raised a fist, about to hit the girl before he was quickly stopped by Atsuhiro "Dabi, not here, let's take it outside. "
Nodding in agreement, Touya helped Atsuhiro drag the silently sobbing girl back outside from where they came from, leading to the back of the house and into the garage.
Seeing Touya and Atsuhiro leave with Yua allowed Himiko and Jin to make their way inside and find their operations primary objective, leaving Team A to deal with the girl.
"Compress, take off the gag," Touya instructed, to which Atsuhiro nodded and quickly removed the bundle of cloth that had been choking the girl.
As soon as it had been done, Touya struck her across the cheek with a force that pushed her backwards. It was a strong enough blow to leave an angry bruise but not enough to knock her out completely.
After taking stock of her figure-from her laboured breathing to her split lower lip, he delivers a few more punches to her torso and a last strike across her face. All the while, Atsuhiro hands had snaked around her arms. keeping her in place.
Finally, Touya pulled out a handkerchief that had been previously doused in ether.
He pressed it firmly to her mouth and nose. forcing her to inhale the substance which quickly knocked her out.
"Hey, you guys done in here?" Himiko skipped into the parking lot, "We've got the stuff."
"Yeah," Touya pockets the handkerchief and watches as Yua unceremoniously slumps to the floor with a dull thud.
"We're done." he drags her body to the main entrance of the parking lot, ensuring that she would be the first thing to be seen by anyone coming through the garage's main door.
"You're too brutish Touya." Atsuhiro grimaces at the bruised girl crumpled in the corner.
"Whatever, someone make the signal, we're done here." Touya gets up to leave.
6 Chome-10-1 Roppongi, Minato City, Tokyo 106-6108, Japan.
The Takahashi Residence.
23:00 hrs.
"Magne. I got a call from the other guys." their leader radios from where he was keeping sentinel of the entire operation.
"They're all clear, make the call."
"Got it boss, making the call now."
Magne dials the number on a burner phone expecting the line to ring a couple of times before anyone answers, as expected, on the fifth ring, a woman's voice breaks through the radio silence.
"SMPA, what is your concern?" her voice was clear. but slightly unstable. when she doesn't give her a reply, she repeats her question, louder this time.
"Kidnapping" she says, evenly distributing the stress on each syllable to feign monotony. "23:00, 6 Chome-10-1 Roppongi, Minato City, Tokyo 106-6108, Japan. Takahashi Yua." Magne states calmly, while she hears rapid scribbling on the other end.
Here come the textbook reactions she thinks to herself, amused.
"who is this? Where is your intel from?" she asks, an undertone of panic lacing her voice. "Hello?" she follows up when Magne
doesn't reply—to which she settles for perching the receiver directly over his mouth to make sure it picks up her heavy breathing.
Magne waited a few moments before finally hanging up.
She radios to their leader. "Alright, the phone call is done the officer will be calling for backup soon."
After checking his watch, Tomura smirks at their record. "Keigo, you ready to receive that request for backup?" Tomura asks through his walkie-talkie.
"Yeah, on patrol near the area so I should be getting that on my frequency." he affirms, shifting to a more comfortable position on the drivers seat he had convinced his partner in advance to take a leave for their shift that night, so as to ensure that he would be able to carry out his part in the operation without any hiccups.
"I'll be first on the scene when the request for backup is made."
6 Chome-10-1 Roppongi, Minato City, Tokyo 106-6108, Japan.
The Takahashi Residence.
2:40 hours.
"Don't worry Ma'am, we'll find out who did this to your
daughter." Keigo assured the Ministers wife, pure concern flawlessly depicted in his facial expression. "We've done a preliminary search of the crime scene, we'll come back with updates as soon as we find anything conclusive."
"You had better catch that criminal, I want him in jail, my daughter is lying unconscious in a hospital!" she demands, hands coming up to cover her face as her body was enveloped in a series of sobs.
Keigo gave a curt nod and comforting pat to the woman's shoulder before turning around and getting back into his car to leave.
As he pulled out of the driveway, he immediately drove to a remote alley in the outskirts of the district, once he was assured that his location wouldn't be found, he made a call.
"Hello? Keigo?" their leader answered. ''What's your status?"
"Shigaraki, I just got back from the crime scene." he says, turning the police radio down and killing the car's engine.
"And?" their leader asks, undoubtedly expectant of his answer.
Keigo knew that his cover was especially pivotal for that night's operation—and that Tomura had made it clear with no uncertain terms that the success of this phase relied on his ability to herd the police where they wanted them to.
"The family doesn't suspect a thing They believe it was an attempted kidnapping" he says, waiting for their leader's response.
After a beat, their leader simply hums in affirmation and hangs up, It wasn't much—he knew that Tomura had always been a man of few words, but he also knew that he always meant whatever he said, with that in mind, he restarted the car and proceeded to drive back to their residence.
Azabu Gardens,
Moto-Azabu 3-7-5 Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-0046.
January 9, 1990, Tuesday.
The League
03:00 hours.
He had stopped at the driveway, feeling no need to actually park his car since he was sure he'd be back at the station soon enough. Besides, he needed to speak with their leader immediately.
He had successfully crossed the foyer and was about to go up
the stairs when a familiar voice calls out to him "Keigoo, you're back!" The youngest member of their group, Himiko, approaches him, grinning.
"How'd it go?"
"Went well." he shrugs off his coat, and hangs his police hat over the coat stand. "Only one problem though, can you go get Shigaraki? We need to have a group meeting"
After a few minutes, everyone who had worked on the operation had gathered at their usual dining hall, with each finding their own seat at the round table.
"Everything went well with the family." After everyone had settled in, Keigo began immediately, fingers interlaced over the single file folder resting in front of him.
"But one of my subordinates is a little too close for comfort." Keigo states, instantly gaining the others' attention.
"What's his name?" Shigaraki questioned.
"Actually, it's a woman." he opens the folder, and pulls out a headshot photo.
"Her name is Miyasaki Y/N, she's the Assistant Inspector."
"A woman cop?" Touya reached for the photo then let out a snort at the subtle smile and short haircut she sported.
"So there's no problem then?" he chuckled, throwing the photo across the table for the others to see, clearly uninterested.
"Shut up Touya, you could probably get your ass kicked by this girl." Himiko quipped, earning a sharp glare from the other boy.
"I swear to god you psycho bitch, I'm gonna—" he shifts in his seat, calling out the girl, knowing full well that the mean name would provoke her.
Just as he was about to continue to prove that no girl could possibly kick his ass, he's thoroughly cut off.
"stop bickering this is serious." Keigo interrupted. "Girl cop or not, she's a threat." he declares.
He looks at them one by one and rests a brief glance at Tomura, their leader nods at him to continue. Keigo sighs, aware that he has to set the context for the rest of the group.
He had been given this role by Tomura directly so not everyone knew just what he was doing at the station or just how important his role was in their whole framework.
"she wasn't supposed to be the one who would get the police tip."
Keigo expels a deep breath, screwing his eyes shut.
"It was supposed to be her direct senior, the only other female Inspector in the agency, she usually does overtime with Miyasaki, but she changed her schedule tonight. I don't know why." again, Keigo sighs. This time, he's slouched on the dining chair, gently massaging the bridge of his nose.
The silence that follows only aggravated his frustration with himself.
He had been counting on Usagiyama Rumi, the agency's female Inspector, who he had been assigned to follow for the past few weeks.
She had the same routine ever since he "started" at the agency—time in at 7:00 am, attend meetings and facilitate cold opens throughout the day, follow-up on interrogations or meet victim's relatives and finally, time-out at midnight.
He wasn't counting on this assistant Inspector, she was an outlier, he didn't pay much attention to her other than the times that they'd cross paths at the cafeteria or when they'd get things from their adjacent locker units. He was working in the patrol and public safety unit, she was busy with comms and records-keeping.
Nonetheless, he did know everyone's business in the agency—even if he wasn't exactly tailing each and every one of them.
He knows the case assignments, he knows who had called in late and he knows why and he even knows how their chief liked his coffee down to the number of espresso shots and percentage of sugar.
"This girl is relentless." He presses on. "I've observed her at the agency—she dedicates herself to everything she does, it's borderline obsessive, even if it is something small and unimportant" he adds the latter as an afterthought, suddenly aware of all those times she stayed overtime.
"I don't like the idea of someone like that sniffing around where we don't want them to."
On his own, he just concluded that she did overtime because she wanted to kiss ass—especially given the kind of rumours going on about her, but it only dawned on him now that perhaps she was more dedicated to the job than others painted her out to be.
"Keigo's right." Kurogiri chimed in. "We should do something about her."
Silence fell for a beat, until it stretched on for a few minutes.
Everyone had exchanged glances, they knew that after Kurogiri, their leader had to have the final say.
"I agree," finally Tomura declares.
He stands up and proceeds to stand by the French window, parting open the satin drapes.
"It's time for modifications before starting phase 2.2."
"Find out why Usagiyama broke her routine. Enlist the others' help on this if you need more hands on comms." Tomura spares a glance at Magne and Spinner, at which the two people reply with nods.
"As for this new player..." their leader trails off, returning back to look at their garden and the approaching dawn.
Expectant, Keigo awaits his next orders. "I want you to keep an eye on her at the station. make sure she stays out of the way, try and befriend her if anything, I need you to throw her off our scent, okay?"
"Got it." the undercover member nods, rising from his seat.
The others follow suit, but Tomura gives follow-up instructions that stops them where they stood.
"Kurogiri, take over my 10:00 today." he announces, immediately piquing everyone's interest "Take Himiko and Jin, you'll need the extra eyes for surveillance."
After the three echo their assent, Tomura clears them, including Keigo, to leave, He adds a few reminders for Magne and Spinner to follow-up on their contracts with their current suppliers, experts and other assets before finally dismissing the two of them as well as Atsuhiro.
singled out, Touya stands by the doorway, intrigued.
"Dabi," he calls Touya by his alias, turning around to face him he then closes the distance between the two of them within five quick strides.
"I want you to pay a visit to that poor girl, make sure she's on bed rest," his voice strong and amplified by the domed ceiling and marble flooring. Touya nods. "I'll see which hospital admitted her," and moves to leave the room.
Not missing a beat. Tomura places a hand over his shoulder just as he was in the process of doing an about-turn.
"I wasn't referring to Miss. Yua.
