East Highland's Notorious - Chapter 2

AO3 l Chapter 1

Fezco x reader

Summary: You never proclaimed yourself to be a nice person or a good girl because no one expected you to be one. If someone perceived you as one that was their fault. Life wasn't easy but Fez made it bearable.

Things had been weird since the whole Mouse incident as (Y/N) was ignoring me still pissed about the money and she was ignoring Fez too. She didn’t hate him she was just putting distance between them to give her time to get over her crush. So it went from talking every day, to every other day, and less and less. If she did respond it was just one-word responses. She missed staying at Fez’s as things were starting to get rough at home. She was depending on the money that she saved over the summer to feed her and her parents since the money they got they used to buy drugs and on nights when they were on a bender she would end up locked outside the house having to sleep on the porch until they got back. She was having a bad week.

“Bitch are you listening?” Maddy said snapping me out of my thoughts. “No stopped listening around long-distance.” I said remembering the last thing we were talking about was Cassie and Mckay.

“What’s up with you?”

“It's been a rough week.” I said with a sigh as I got another text from Fez which I ignored leaving him on read. “Still ignoring Fez.” Maddy asked.

“I’d rather go back to talking about Cassie and Mckay.”

“Stop being such a coward and fucking talk to him, you put up a fight for everything else. Why not him?”

“I’d rather die than put myself in that situation and once I get over him I’ll talk to him like normal again. Besides I have bigger worries right now.”

“Like what?”

“Money problems.” I said glaring at Rue from across the cafeteria and she looks away when our eyes meet.

“Hey do any of you guys know how BitCoin works?” Kat suddenly asks. Maddy and Cassie shake their heads and I take advantage of the situation. “No, but for 10 dollars I can take you to someone who does.”

“You can’t just take me for free.”

“Did you not just hear me say I’m having money problems? I need gas money and you got the friend discount I usually charge 25.”

“Fine.” Kat agrees and I tell her to meet me after school.

After school I call Ash asking him if he was at the store and I was gonna bring a friend who needed information on BitCoin. “Why? You know how it works.” He said.

“Ok we know that but she doesn’t and I need cash, so I ain’t telling her for free.” I said and saw Kat coming my way. “Just do me this favor.” After hanging up we get in my car and after she gives me the money I drive her to the gas station. I was so busy focusing on getting cash I completely forgot that Fez would be here too. Fez was outside smoking when we got here and I avoid looking at him as we go inside and I call for Ash.

“Hey, (Y/N).” Fez said as I sat atop the counter next to the register.

“Hey…” I said staring at my feet finding them entertaining. I was glad Ash had come out from the back and he sat down next to me on the counter to breakdown BitCoin for Kat.

“It’s a worldwide cryptocurrency and digital payment system.”

“I literally have no clue what you’re talking about.” Kat said and I shake my head.

“There’s literally no easier way to explain it.” I said and she looks at me suspiciously. “I thought you didn’t know how it works.”

“I don’t, but I can’t help you if you’re stupid.” I said and she looks at me taken aback. “Shit sorry, I’ve been getting no sleep.”

“Look why don’t you just tell us what you’re trying to do, and we can tell you how we can help you.” Fez said.

“Unless it’s human trafficking. I don’t fuck with human trafficking.” Ash said.

“I’m not human trafficking.” Kat clarifies. “Yeah, us neither.” Fez said.

Kat starts to explain what she was trying to do but I quickly stop her. “First give me another 10 dollars.” I said to Kat holding out my hand and rolling her eyes she gives me the cash. “I was just wondering if it’s like a good way to anonymously get money online.” She explained.

“That’s literally what it’s made for.” I said like it should have been obvious.

“Dumbass.” Ash said and I nod my head agreeing. “What a waste of a trip. Oh wait I got 20 dollars out of it.” I said laughing. “If you give me 5 dollars I’ll drive you home.” I said and she glares at me.

“I’m fucking with you. Get in the car.” I said getting down from the counter. I say bye to Ash and give a half-hearted wave to Fez as we walk past him but he grabs my hand.

“Yo, can we talk for a second?”

“No time I gotta go to work after I take her home sorry.” I said slipping my hand out from his.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I started taking on more hours to make up the cash I had lost which meant getting off later and getting less to no sleep if my parents locked me out. But it made avoiding Fez easier except for when he showed up at the restaurant giving me no choice but to talk to him. I should have expected to do this sooner or later, especially after blowing him off at the gas station.

“How long are you gonna stick around?” I asked him as I came to clear his plate and give him the check.

“Till you get off, didn’t see yo car thought I could drive you home and could finally talk.”

“I’m working late, so no need to wait up. I’m sure there’s money to be made somewhere.” I said and left for the kitchen setting the plate down. I go back to Fez to get his money for the bill and he hands me a 50.

“Keep the change.”

“That's too much for a tip.” I said not wanting to take his money. “Don’t worry about it.” He said not taking no for an answer and reluctantly I keep the change.

After clocking out I go to the bathroom to change out of my uniform and I consider just sneaking out the back to avoid Fez but like he read my mind he waits for me near the bathroom giving me no chance of escape. Once we’re in the car he doesn’t start it right away so we just sit in awkward silence as I find anything to stare at out the window.

“So like what's going on with us?” He breaks the silence.

“Nothing, just been crazy busy.” I said playing with my fingers.

“Can you at least look at me.�� He said and hearing the sadness in his voice I comply. He reaches for my hand but I pull it back from his reach “I’m really tired so can you just take me home, please.”

“Can you at least tell me, why you been avoiding me? Like for real.” He said starting the car. “I’m just trying to get things back to how they were, you know before the summer.”

“And like what does that mean?”

“You see me like a little sister and I don’t see you- look I don’t know how to explain it.” I said frustrated and looked out at the passing scenery.

“Don’t do that, just say what you gotta say.” He said and finally taking Maddy’s advice to stop being a coward I decide to just spill. I could always just jump out of the car and hope it kills me if it doesn’t work out.

“Fine. Am I really just a little sister to you? Like nothing more?” I asked looking down at my lap. “That’s what- hold on.” He said and pulled over. He brings his hand to my chin making me look at him and I become even more nervous under his gaze.

“Is this about that shit, I told Mouse?” I nodded my head at his question. “Nah, I just said that so he wouldn’t try no shit on you. Of course, you are more than that to me.” He clarifies but it's still not enough clarification for me.

“Like a friend you fuck around with more or like-”

“Like your my girl, more.” He states cutting me off and I smile. “I would love to be your girl.” I said shyly and leaning in he kisses me.

“Can’t believe you’ve been giving me the cold shoulder over that.” He said in disbelief.

“What did you expect from me? You weren’t exactly defining what our relationship was and I was trying to figure it out all summer.”

“Didn’t think I had to, thought it was obvious. And shit, you didn’t say nothin.”

“Like hell I would, you know what this isn’t about me.” I said kissing him as a distraction. After sharing a few more kisses he continues taking me home and as my house comes to view I see my dad’s car gone which meant the house was empty and I was locked out. I didn’t want to worry Fez so I didn’t tell him and pretended everything was normal. After much convincing, I told him he didn’t have to wait for me to go inside and after kissing him goodbye he leaves. I walk up to the front door hopefully trying the door knob but it was locked and I sigh defeated.

I sit on the ground leaning against the front door and prepare for a long night outside again wishing I could just change the locks and lock them out for a change. However, I would never do that cause even though my parents were practically fucking useless except for somehow keeping a roof over our heads I’d seen them angry and I’d hate for it to be targeted at me. It’s just a rule you don’t piss off a drug addict especially when you have to live with them. As I was accepting my fate I was considering sucking it up and calling Nate and hear a car stop in front of the house and when I look up I see Fez getting out of his car. I should’ve known he was gonna circle around and catch me in my lie.

“How’d you know?” I asked him as he got closer.

“Yo dad’s car is gone which means they’re out doing whatever and you're locked out.”

“Well aren’t you a great listener.” I said sarcastically as I stand up and hug him. “Thank you.” I whispered into his chest and he kisses the top of my head. “Let me take you home.” He said grabbing my bag for me off the ground and taking my hand with the other.

“Your house feels more like home than mines does anyway.” I said as I got back in his car.

“Good to hear, 'cause even though he won’t admit it Ash misses having you around.”

“Of course he does, who else is gonna bother him.”

When we get to his house I go to take a shower and when I get out I realize I don’t have any clothes to change into and walk into his bedroom with just a towel and see Fez putting some clothes down on his bed. When he sees me he looks away shyly with a light blush on his cheeks and I smile to myself finding his shyness cute. “Sorry, can I borrow some clothes?”

“Uh yeah here.” Turning back to me he hands me the clothes he had set down on the bed. It was actually some of my clothes that I must have left behind from previous times. “Thanks.” Without thinking I start to remove my towel and he immediately turns back around sitting on his bed with his back to me. “Sorry.” I apologized for not warning him.

“Okay, I’m done.” I told him as I sat down on his bed and he turned back to face me. We fall into a silence staring at each other before I release a nervous laugh looking away first. “It feels different, now that we’re together.” I said playing with my fingers in my lap.

“Different like how?” He asked scooting closer to me and takes my hand into his. “A good different like I’m nervous because I’m used to sleeping on the couch instead of in here with you.”

“Don’t be.” He reassured kissing me. “We can take it slow or whatever you want.”

“Thank you for everything Fez.”

“No need.” He kissed me again. I feel his tongue against my bottom lip and I open my mouth for him letting his tongue intertwine with mine. His hand goes to my hip kneading at it lightly and I lay down on his bed pulling him with me as we continued kissing until we have to pull apart for air. Cuddling into his arms I end up falling asleep as a week's worth of lack of sleep caught up to me.

I woke up early in the morning to catch up on homework and make breakfast for Fez and Ash. I was working on my homework at the kitchen table when Ash woke up before Fez and came into the kitchen smelling the food making himself a plate. “What are you doing?” He asks sitting with me.

“ Late homework. Help me out?” I said passing him my math homework with a 20. He takes it and starts working on it as he eats breakfast. Fez came into the kitchen smiling as he saw us at the table kissing my cheek before grabbing some food and sitting with us. “You want a ride to school?” He asks me.

“No need, Nate’s gonna take me.” I answered not looking up from my assignment and missing his look of annoyance. “Nah, I’ll take you.”

“And once again no need.” I said not wanting to inconvenience him.

“Just tell him, I got you.” He said and I finally look at him. “Nate already’s on the way. Why are you making this such a big deal?” I asked and my phone rings getting a message from Maddy telling me they were outside. “And he’s here. Thanks again.” I told Ash grabbing my homework from him and putting it in my bag and Fez walks with me to the door.

“See you later.” I said kissing him.

“I’ll pick you up after.”

“Thanks but-” I stop seeing his smile drop. “I would appreciate it, miss you already.” I said kissing him again before leaving.

“Uh are you good?” Maddy asked me as we were walking to class. “Yeah, I need some advice. So you know I’m used to using Nate for stuff like rides to school or getting him to spoil us on our shopping trips and stuff. And I think Fez is like…”

“Is jealous?” She finishes and I shake my head.

“Not jealous more like bothered by our friendship.”

“I get that Nate’s been your friend for a long time and you two trust and depend on each other. But you need to start depending on Fez the same way or it's gonna seem like you don’t need him and you don’t want him to feel like second place.” She explained and I sighed annoyed yet still confused.

“Is that how you feel about Nate and me?”

“No, after you set us up you took a step back giving us space, which is what you need to do for Fez.”

“Why is dating so complicated?” I whined.

“At least you’re not dating Nate he’s even more complicated along with being a dick.”

“Don’t I know. What’s the new trouble in paradise?”

“You’re not gonna believe me if I tell you.”

“Now you have to spill.” I said curiosity piqued and she pulls me aside in the hall lowering her voice.

“Okay, so last night I went through Nate’s phone and…” She looks around and I wonder if she found the messages between him and Jules. “And?”

“He had dicks on his phone.”

“Like his own or…”

“No other guy's dicks.” She said and I can’t attempt to hide my look of shock.

“I actually have no words and that’s too crazy to be made up. You don’t think he’s gay, do you? Cause Nate’s like the definition of straight toxic masculinity.”

“I know he’s like super straight but…” She says in thought.

“I think you gotta talk to Nate about it, he might not like you going through his phone but it is weird.” I advised.

“Ugh, you’re right dating is complicated.” She complained hugging me and I smile hugging her back.

After school I see Fez’s car waiting for me outside and on the way to his car Nate comes up to me to remind me about the carnival. “My parents wanted me to invite you to come to help out at the booth for the chili contest."

“Why?” I whined. I had only met Nate’s dad and brother before and that was enough for me.

“You made a good impression on him and now my mom wants to meet you and you know they both-”

“Hate Maddy.” We say simultaneously and he nods his head. “No offense I’ve met your dad and your idiot of a brother I don’t wanna meet your mom.”

“Look I’m not fucking thrilled either but just do it, just stick around for Maddy I invited her too. Stay for a few minutes and that’s it.” He said then looked at my hands. “And get a manicure.”

“I’m sorry you’re forcing me to spend time with your family and get a manicure.” I scoffed annoyed walking off but he grabs my wrist roughly stopping me. “I’m not joking (Y/N), just do what I say.” He said coldly giving me some cash for the manicure before walking away. I rub my wrist to ease the pain before remembering Fez and rush to the car.

“Sorry about that.” I told him as I got in the car. “It’s alright, what did he want?” He asks gesturing to the money in my hand and I put it in my pocket.

“Just paying me back for something.” I shrugged not wanting to explain the complicated ways of Nate Jacobs.

When we get back I got his room to put my stuff down and wanting to talk to him we sit down on the bed. “I wanted to say sorry about this morning, I’m so used to figuring stuff out myself or having Nate do stuff for me that I don’t want you to feel like I don’t depend on you or need you.”

“Nah, I get that you been friends for like a long time or whatever but I would appreciate it if you let me help you out like he does for you.” He said.

“I swear I’ll try, no I will. I just don’t wanna make you feel bad or anything.”

“It’s alright baby, we’re good.” He said kissing me and grabbing my waist pulls me into his lap. I straddle his lap, wrap my arms around his neck, and bit his lip teasingly and he squeezes my waist in response. His lips trail from my lips to my jawline down to my neck sucking lightly on the skin and I hum in delight. He goes to my collarbone and I roll my hips into his causing him to release a groan but before we go any further there’s a loud knocking and banging coming from the front door.

“You expecting someone?” I asked sliding off his lap.

“Nah, but don’t move alright? I’ma go get rid of them.” He said kissing me one last time before getting up and I nod my head obediently. The banging on the door didn’t ease up until Fez got there and after waiting for awhile I heard yelling and banging coming from the door again and go to see what was happening. As I get closer to the door I hear Rue’s voice.

“Open the door! Open the door! Open the door.”

“I can’t do it, Rue. I’m sorry.” Fez says leaning his head on the closed door listening to Rue blame him for her problems. He faces away from the door and I see the sad heartbroken look on his face and take him into my arms.

“I’m so fucking serious. If you don’t open this door right now, I swear to god, I will hate you, till the day I fucking die.” She threatens and shaking my head I take Fez’s hand and take him away from the door.

“I’m sorry.” He tells her one last time before we walk away and we sit down on the couch together just hugging each other.

“You did the right thing. There’s not much we can do but it's a start.” I tell him attempting to cheer him up. “And she didn’t mean any of it, its what addicts do, she’ll calm down and come to her senses eventually.”

“I know.” He whispered. “Thank you for being here.” He kissed my forehead and I smile at him cuddling further into him. We spent the rest of the day just watching movies Ash eventually joined us later and I can’t help feeling truly at home with them.

173 Influential SCPs

I went to SCPper, found the most upvoted articles by users who've made at least one SCP, and sorted by time. These aren't necessarily the 173 best articles on the site, but I think they're likely to be the most influential. Longtime fans have probably read most or all of these but maybe this could be a starting point for newcomers.

I think sorting by time is important because the Foundation's been around almost 17 years. Writers come and go, trends come and go, new writers are influenced by what came before, and later articles are often longer and more complex than earlier ones. Just sorting by most upvoted bounces you around time; on the main wiki you read mostly series 1 articles then get dunked into SCP-5000. I hope this is a more natural progression, and that by the end people have more context for what's going on.

Using upvotes from writers only is important because the more writers like an article, the more likely later SCPs are to be influenced by it, so those articles are more likely to be important for understanding the wiki as a whole.

I might do an alternate version of this list that replaces the extremely long articles with shorter SCPs.

If you have trouble understanding one of the articles (some of the later ones get LONG), look it up on r/SCPDeclassified. If you would prefer audio narration/explanations, The Exploring Series and TheVolgun are both excellent. And of course, make sure to look in the sidebar on the wiki for guides, lists and explanations.

Meat & Candy

Chapter Six

Warnings: general anxiousness, 18+ themes, fluff.

Word Count: 1.5k

Meat & Candy Masterlist

Previous Chapter |

Dean had to take a deep breath at least five times in the last few minutes and decided to do his breathing exercises. Was he really that nervous to be going on a date? Well, yeah. It didn’t even have to be a date with Cas, it could’ve been with anyone . He hadn’t been on a “regular” date in years. He and Benny would have their benders and other… things . He wasn’t even sure if he had been on a “regular” date before. Cassie might’ve been the closest when they had dinners nearly every Friday together.

Shit, Cassie. Was he making a mistake by inviting Castiel there? Well, it wasn’t her house but it was the closest thing to it. Dean took another breath as he stepped inside the bakery. It smelled amazing in there, always did. Then again, he and Cassie weren’t as close as they used to be. They were still friends, but far from intimate and they didn’t spend that much time together anymore.

“Hey, Cassie!” Dean smiled as he waved at her, his worries melted away. “How’s sales going?”

Cassie was behind the glass counter, an apron around her waist. “Just fine, Dean.” She smiled back with a cocked eyebrow. “How’s the restaurant?”

Dean leaned against the counter, glancing at the other patrons enjoying their pastries and various types of coffee. They all seemed content. Similar to how all his customers left. “Doing well.” He said softly.

“Looks like both our dreams came true.” Cassie pointed out, getting his attention again. “Now, I'm assuming you didn't come here just to chat to little ole me so… what can I get ya?”

Dean looked at all the different baked goods as if he was looking to try something new even though he'd get the same thing as always. “One maple bacon donut,” He glanced up at the drink menu, “And a medium latte with sweet cream, please.”

Cassie pressed a few buttons at the register and flipped the tablet for Dean. “That'll be $10.67.”

He paid and added a five-dollar tip with a wink. He always made sure any place he went to for any service got a healthy tip, especially if they were a smaller business.

Dean waited by the counter, stuffing his hands in the pockets of his jacket. Summer was starting soon but it wasn't too hot to wear a jacket anymore. He glanced at the clock on the wall every so often. It was getting so close to when they were supposed to be meeting but Cas wasn't there yet. He didn't know why, but his heart started racing again. God, he thought he was over that already.

Cassie had his order out in just a few minutes and gave him a sly smile. “Got a date?” She asked.

“How'd you know?” Dean squeaked as if he wasn't shifting every two seconds. He grabbed his coffee and donut, immediately taking a bite of it followed by a large gulp from his coffee.

Cassie gave him a look, cocking an eyebrow in disbelief. Dean could be really oblivious at times.

Dean gulped down everything and nodded at her, a nervous smile fluctuating on his lips. “Right, yeah.” He flicked a couple crumbs off his shirt.

He bee-lined for a table by the windows so he could see Castiel as he came in. Just to be prepared. Or something. However, Cas must’ve come from the other direction because Dean didn’t see him until he stepped through the door. Dean’s heart stopped as Cas waved before going to the register to buy whatever sweets or coffee he wanted.

Dean coughed and lifted a hand to his mouth to smell his breath. Okay, it was fine. He then scratched at his beard to smooth it and make sure it was styled how he liked. Nearly as soon as that was finished, Castiel sat across from him.

“Hello, Dean.” He smiled softly and glanced down at the goods he got, taking a sip from his coffee. “I wasn’t sure which donuts to get… so I got an array I thought Claire and I would like.” He said softly, a light blush on his cheeks.

It was good to know Dean wasn’t the only nervous one. It made him feel better, a bit of weight off his shoulders.

“That’s okay,” Dean smiled, amused. “But I have to warn you,” He motioned to the five donuts in front of him. “These go bad after a day or two. I mean, they’re still edible, just not as good.” He took a bite of his own donut and then wiped his lips.

Castiel’s eyes caught the movement before he cut one donut—Boston creme—in half. “So how do you know the owner?” He asked as he took a bite.

Dean pursed his lips and looked away for a moment. “Me and Cassie, we used to date a while ago. But we're just friends.” He was quick to add that last part.

“Oh! Really? Why did you date?” Castiel didn't seem phased much, perhaps even a little excited to learn more about Dean's past.

Dean rubbed his nose a little. It's not that he didn't want to talk about it, he was just surprised at how well Castiel seemed to take the information. He sipped his coffee. “Um, we went to the same high school. And we're both trans so… just kinda clicked because of that. I think we were the only openly trans kids at the time.”

Castiel hummed in response. “It must've been… nerve-wracking. I'm glad you had someone to relate to.” He smiled gently.

“Yeah…” Dean smiled a little to himself at the memories, glancing at Cassie.

For a while, she was everything to him and more, but the sparkles faded and he realized that maybe he didn't want to be with her forever . At least, not as a lifelong romantic partner. Dean had been thinking about maybe providing some of Cassie's baked goods at his restaurant for pickup or something but he had Charlie for that.

“How'd you end up working for the Tribune?” Dean asked, trying to learn more about Cas. All he really knew was that he was a journalist, also a single father, and he absolutely loved his cooking.

Castiel shrugged. “I just went to college at the University of Illinois for Journalism and thought getting a job at the Tribune would be a logical thing to do.” He let out a soft laugh, glancing down at the table. “I'm sorry, my life is not as interesting as yours.”

“It's okay, don't worry! Honestly, it's nice to be around someone whose life is not as…” Dean struggled to find the right words for a few moments. “Not as crazy.”

“Good… that's good.” Castiel nodded.

The rest of that morning was spent talking about their children, the donuts they both had, and a few memories of their brothers. It seemed they bonded in more ways than one.

Food lovers? Check.

Single dads? Check.

Weird brothers? Check.

Although Gabriel was technically the older brother, he seemed to act incredibly childish at times. Dean had to agree after knowing him for a while.

They left the cafe together as Dean stuffed his hands into his pockets. “Um, when do you, uh, wanna do this again?”

“Soon… very soon,” Castiel said, gripping his paper bag that held the donuts. “Perhaps next week?” He suggested. “I don't cook too well, but you can come to my house.”

Dean nodded, a soft smile on his face. Contentedness. “That sounds good.”

They awkwardly stood by each other on the sidewalk for a bit.

“Can I—” Dean was cut off.

Castiel had kissed him, lifting his free hand to cup Dean's face. It was soft but surprised Dean nonetheless. He wanted to be a gentleman about it, but Castiel couldn't wait.

“Yes.” Castiel whispered as he pulled away.

A larger smile broke out on Dean's lips before he wrapped his arms around Castiel's waist and kissed him deeper than before. The way their lips slotted together, the way their bodies slotted together just felt right. Like maybe, just maybe, Dean had found his person. And he wasn't about to let Cas go without giving him something memorable.

A goodbye kiss. One that wasn't really a goodbye, more of a ‘I’ll-see-you-very-soon’ kiss.

“Hey, can y'all leave? I think you're scaring my customers!” Cassie joked from the door.

Dean glanced at Cassie. “Sure, just, uh,” he looked back at Castiel. “Talk to you later.” He pecked his lips quickly before leaving.

Castiel watched him walk to his car, a light feeling in his chest. He couldn't believe this was happening to him. Just because he was given an interview to do. Maybe he needed to thank Crowley. He quite liked wine, perhaps Cas could splurge on an expensive bottle with his raise.

“You're really in love with him, huh?” He heard Cassie's voice before he turned to face her.

He coughed, shrugging. “Well, uh, I don't— I couldn't say right now.” He knew that he was bullshitting himself.

Cassie chuckled. She could tell too. “You do. I can tell.” She soon went back inside the cafe.

i’ll take everything.

For the Shrimp Skwad Surprise Challenge 006: Daddy Dearest

Marius Cassi has made the call no parent wants to receive many times in his career.

He’s never been on the receiving end.

Rating: Teen +

Word Count: 1,512

Warning(s): grief/mourning, child loss

Preview below the cut. [Mood music]

{READ HERE ON AO3}

It was stupid, Marius thought. The situation he’d found himself in. Not because of what it was, really, funerals always cut him deeper than most, but because he was stupid. He let Avicia get into his head, he went on his stupid drunken bender, and he didn’t wrap it. His enemies often likened him to some sort of death deity, an old god trapped in mortal flesh.

He shifted in his seat, wincing at the creak of his knee. Some old god he was. The only similarity he’d ever found was how much trouble his dumb fucking dick kept getting him into.

I look forward to reading your review of the last two episodes of Walker and WIndy. What do you think of Julia? Is she just an impulsive, rash reporter or is she hiding something? Could she be an accomplice of the Gray Flags? Bonham did wrong trying to get Cordell to leave home, and obviously Abeline isn't happy, as was to be expected. Liam seems very confused about what he has to do. And Kevin? What do you say? He's a good man just a little too pushy or he's hiding something too. And Trey?! I don't understand where the writers want to go with his character. Why fire him from Rangers? I also really enjoyed the WIndy episode. I was pleased to see Hagan (and Mark) again and I hope he will still have a part in the show in the future (if there is a future). But the character that moved me the most is Calian, and the search for his sister. How sad to find her only to discover that her life has moved on but his hasn't. The relationship between Sheriff Tom and Abby was inevitable, sooner or later, just a matter of time. But now things get complicated. By the way, what a beautiful photography this episode has, isn't it? Two good mid-season episodes.

I'll make separate review posts of the two episodes. Right off the top of my head I think:

Julia is one a revenge bender due to her captivity and wants to use Cordell to find the head of the Gray Flags. (wouldn't it be hilarious if it turns out to be Kevin, the guy she's been gossiping with the whole time?)

Bonham never wanted Cordell and his kids to permanently move back home.

Liam has been floundering ever since he was first passed over for the DA job, and then lost his job.

I want Kevin to be a good guy just because I want Jake Abel to stick around. Best case scenario he's an undercover Texas Ranger trying to find the mole at Ranger HQ. Worse case scenario he's the head of Gray Flags and that's why he's ingratiating into the Walker family through Cassie (i.e showing up uninvited for Thanksgiving).

Trey may have been set up by James to be recruited by Gray Flags and go undercover. If Kevin is part of Gray Flags then it makes sense by Trey was being set up by James because he noticed that Kevin is quite found of Trey.

Resolution of Calian and Nacsha was unexpectedly quick but important. Calian's spirit guide took the form of Nascha when he last saw her as a child. I believe the spirt guide was showing Calian how to save his people and their way of life by leading him to Abby who has the education and the allies to help him and his people. The grown up Nascha is more or less happily assimilated into the white world, complete with a good husband, an adorable daughter, and a big house for its era.

Yeah I too thought Tom and Abby was kind of inevitable once his look-alike brother showed up and gave Abby "permission" for a clandestine affair with Tom.

S1 Dean Head Canon

My main inspirations for this.

When Dean goes on a bender and loses track of John, he panics and goes to find Sam at college. While Sam agrees to go on one case, the death of his girlfriend hurls him back into the hunting scene. While the brothers hunt Wendigos, and a lake monster, Dean does his best to keep his drinking in check and only indulges heavily during his downtime. Dean’s mental health takes a hit after confiding in a child witness about his past traumas while on a case. CPTSD rears its ugly head sending Dean spiraling into self medication amidst nightmares and anxiety symptoms to the point that even Sam notices.

When the brothers get called about a demon possession case involving airplanes, Sam learns just how terrified his brother is to fly. Afterwards, they realize John has changed his voicemail and is now actively deferring cases to them despite continuing to not check in. When Dean tries to ignore his grief about dad and heads for Atlantic City, hoping to relax, Sam starts a fight and accuses him of being “a useless alcoholic just like dad”. Dean storms out, goes to a bar and gets smashed only to wake up the next morning in bed with a stranger and no memory oh he'd gotten there.

Dean coasts for a while after, still drinking but trying not to go overboard. He hunts with Sam and mostly enjoys it, as much as anyone really can. Priorities shift suddenly after Sam has psychic visions of their childhood home in Kansas. Dean had promised himself never to return after his last trip, when he almost killed himself driving drunk and consequently been charged with a DUI. When ganking the ghosts involves a chance encounter with his mother’s spirit, Dean is left shaken. His nightmares return and intensify, and without realizing completely, he ups his frequency of alcohol consumption to daily as a counterbalance to protecting his mental health.

After investigating a haunted asylum where Sam gets possessed, and says some nasty things before shooting him, Dean starts to doubt his relationship with Sam. When John does eventually reach out it's to tell his sons explicitly to back off and stop looking for him, then order them to pursue a separate case. Sam gets pissed and the brothers argue which ultimately lead to them separating. While Dean doesn't let on how badly he’s hurting, having lost his family again over the span of a day; Sam sees his brother’s subsequent apology for the giant red flag that it is. Tracking his brother down, Sam saves Dean from a pagan deity, they eventually reconcile and continue hunting together.

Having been more than willing to go out in blaze of glory before Sam rescued him, Dean starts drinking on the job and hunting recklessly. When they encounter a Rawhead, Dean’s reactions are slowed, and he inadvertently electrocutes himself, killing the monster. After suffering a heart attack, Dean’s prognosis isn't good, but he’s more than willing to accept death over his brother’s attempts at some kind of magical cure. When Sam randomly finds a faith healer and tricks Dean into tagging along, he’s surprised when Rev. Le Grange actually heals him. When the other shoe drops, however, Dean realizes he’s only been saved at the expense of somebody else. Unable to justify having been saved this way, Dean is additionally burdened by Layla’s impending death once they've shut the faith healer down.

In the aftermath of nearly dying, continued radio silence from dad sends a louder message than if John had bothered to pick up his phone. Dean tries to put himself back together as best he can by getting drunk and celebrating Sam’s 23rd birthday. Later after a tip concerning a possible haunting in PA, Dean’s not entirely sure he’s ready to get back in the saddle again. Though he initially does go along with Sam, all bets are off when he gets an emergency call from his ex-girlfriend Cassie.

Sam psychoanalyzes until his brother starts to squirm, inadvertently giving away details of the only real romantic relationship he’s ever had. Amidst battling a racist ghost truck, Dean tries to gain some closure but only really gets overdue makeup sex instead. After leaving Missouri, Dean struggles between wanting to drink himself into oblivion and wanting Sam to give it a break with the psychoanalysis bullshit already. To save face, Dean starts carrying his flask again, only drinking when he knows Sam can’t see. Mother’s Day weekend becomes an additional trigger, and Dean’s actually kind of surprised just how easily one cheesy af Hallmark greeting card can push him over the edge.

When Sam starts having psychic visions again, Dean’s already been drinking steadily for days, adding to his anxiety about driving anywhere in the middle of the night. When the crime scene turns out to be real, Dean isn't sure how to cope sober and his intoxication contributes to him almost being killed by Max Miller. Though he tries to comfort Sam, Dean is in fact freaking out about pretty much everything. It becomes clear that Sam doesn't remember their childhood like Dean does at all. While that was kind of the whole point, it still hurts remembering all the ways Dean had shielded his little brother from John’s drunken rages.

Dean is overwhelmed and falling back into his more alcoholic tendencies- ignoring John’s rules and carrying a flask everywhere.When the brothers get a motel room, Dean over does it until he fears he may have actually poisoned himself after he starts experiencing loss of appetite because of nausea / vomiting, headache, dizziness & chest palpitations *(i.e. mild alcohol withdrawal symptoms). Hiding his illness from Sam, Dean tries to put himself back together.

When Sam gets kidnapped by humans, Dean freaks out and jeopardizes his own identity while trying to track his brother down. The guilt of almost having gotten Sam killed leads Dean into going cold turkey with varying degrees of success until he ultimately fails the way he does with everything. While Dean does manage to put down the flask, he’s left with constant cravings and no other foreseeable way to numb out his mounting internal pain. Meanwhile, Sam is as oblivious as he is distracted with finding John to support his brother's attempts at sobriety. When Dean falls back on his and John’s rules for drinking, he finds that he’s grown too dependent on alcohol for the rules to be much help. Dean vaguely remembers John having gone through detox several times over the years, although he never really thought about why it was happening until now.

In Chicago the brothers encounter Meg Masters, and without knowing it, accidentally lead John into a trap. When Sam alludes to quitting hunting again, Dean is noticeably crushed, unable to see past his dysfunctional views of family. Later on after telling John to go, Dean tries to find ways to keep Sammy close while engaged in hunting. Continuing his attempts at curbing his drinking, it’s a surprise to Dean when Sam seems to be going in the opposite direction by actively seeking out booze and dive bars. Although Dean hasn't said it out loud yet, he’s starting to accept his inherited alcoholism and worries about Sam meeting the same fate. Inevitably prank wars prove to be a safer form of brotherly bonding than getting wasted.

Dean’s feeling sentimental spending time with Sam and not thinking so much outside of that. Though arson works on taking out the Tulpa in Texas, things easily could have gone differently especially given how the future Ghostfacers were also thrown into the mix. Fearing that Sam’s just going to ditch him again contributes to Dean having intrusive thoughts and increased anxiety. Although he somehow maintains his tough guy facade by suffering through, eventually his attempts prove unsustainable.

When John texts coordinates the brothers revisit an old case, that’s extremely triggering for Dean. While they do manage to save the day, Dean’s forced to remember hard parts of their childhood along with the perceived guilt over knowing the shringa continued killing children for 17 more years because of him. Dean can’t take back his past mistakes and worries about how many kids have had to die at the hands of the Shringa because of him. But robbing Michael of his innocence is the icing on the cake, and soon Dean backslides into alcohol as his primary coping mechanism. Father’s day weekend brings up a bunch of other stuff for Dean, he’s spiraling again and likely couldn't maintain sobriety if his life depended on it.

After encountering a hot girl and a haunted painting in upstate New York, Dean is doing poorly and tries to deflect by pushing Sam toward Sarah Blake. Unbeknownst to Sam, Dean’s cycling through a constant state of intoxication with no idea how much less a desire to stop. Ganking the ghost and saving the day, Dean’s living it up with a beer in his hand and his brother by his side once more. Despite Sam’s ambivalence, Dean convinces him to celebrate the fourth of July. Everything’s great until Dean nearly gets another DUI and Sam has to find a way to save his older brother for a change.

Weeks later when they stumble onto a nest of vampires in Manning, CO and reunite with John. Dean is conflicted when John wants to enter the vampires' nest to steal a gun that can supposedly kill anything. It rapidly becomes clear that dad wants to ditch them again and this time Dean knows it’s because John’s on a suicide mission. Dean recognizes the look in John’s eyes because he’s been there himself enough times but he also knows that losing his dad this way will damage him beyond repair.

When John is captured by Azazel and Meg after she kills several close friends of the Winchesters’. Dean realizes that would give it all up indefinitely just to have his family back together and safe. Reconnecting with Bobby Singer guides the brothers through exercising Meg out of her host's body. But although the boys do find their father Dean is first to see that John’s been possessed by Azazel. After Sam shoots his dad in the leg with the colt, the demon is forced to vacate John's body, and the Winchester’s escape. En route to safety, however, the impala gets struck by a demon possessed truck driver and leaves a badly injured Dean on the verge of death.

Hi, everyone! Big Sky is back from hiatus and I bring you thoughts on 3x11, so beware the spoilers as always. Thoughts below the cut.

@trekkiehood was right. Not only Beau is sleeping outside, that convo was bullshit. Emily, sweetie, I like you, but if your dad doesn't want to talk about his trauma, he won't do so until he's ready, so don't push and make him more guilty than he already is. And I know you want your parents get back together or whatever by standing up for Avery, but no. Just no. He belongs with Jenny. End of the story.

And Jenny's mom is back, bringing trouble once again. Hate her. Jenny got hurt. Which is bad, but at least we got Jenny x Beau hug out of it? Which got interrupted by Avery, ugh!

Speaking of Avery, he almost got taken by bad guys, but Beau saved him by shooting the guy. And then Avery has the gall to blame Beau! Excuse you! You are the one who started the mess! Beau only shot the guy to protect you because Carla asked to save your ass, so shut it. Bastard. Who later got taken by Tonya and Donno and tried to strike deal with them. Avery, you're not cut out for these kinds of things, imo. And serves you right for refusing to tell Beau the truth, honestly.

Also, have I told you that Barnes family (except Cormac) is bonkers? If not, I'll say it again. Because Buck has the jars with - human organs? - each labeled with a female name. Paige was about to join them until she got the upper hand and beat him up, and escaped. Dunno if he's alive, but the moment supports the "Buck is one behind the Bleeding Heart murders" theory.

Anyway, back with Jenny. She found her mom and they were forced to play a game by another crazy family or they get fed to the pigs. Getting the Benders from SPN vibes from them. Thankfully, Cassie saved them, family is arrested, as well as Gigi, the jail is where she belongs.

Back with Beau, we get an emotional conversation with Carla. While it's sweet and all, it's no JennyxBeau, sadly. Plus, Beau's worries are proven right as bad guys are spying on Emily, one of which is the guy that Beau shot. Oh shit.

And that's a wrap! All in all, it was a good ep if you ignore infuriating scene with Beau and Avery and the lack of Beau x Jenny scenes. Until the next episode, guys!

“You really, really have to keep your guard up better. First lessons are often painful, and usually they don’t get much better either as you go on,” Tommy advised to Aimee, taking a seat next to her again and gently pressing a small towel full of ice to her eye. Taking to marital arts like a duck to water over the last few months, she’d progressed to full contact training, learning that morning to definitely listen to Obie and Tommy as they’d yelled “GUARD UP!” at her from the edge of the ring, her equally novice opponent managing to land a very tidy left hook to her right eye.

“Yeah, I’m getting that, big fella. How’s your foot now?” He’d gone in after her, having a little ruck with one of the other guys there and suspecting he’d broken his little toe as a result.

“Eh, hazard of the job. It ain’t too bad.” He shrugged, picking up his beer for a grateful swig. Since he and Darla were starting a family of sorts together, they wanted each other’s families to begin getting to know one another better, that afternoon being for the chosen families, their closest friends all meeting. Also, it would be the first time Darla met Cassie too, who was arriving a little later in the evening after she’d finished work.

“At least I got my decimating power in before you broke yourself!” she giggled, flexing her tiny muscles with a long ‘Grrrr!’ noise.

“Yes, you did, killer.” He laughed. It had been a hilarious scene, Tommy offering to have a little tap around with her, Aimee’s reaction comically over the top in her screaming, flying from the ring and then hiding beneath it. What was even funnier? Obie dragging her out by her foot, picking her up by the leggings and sports bra and throwing her straight back between the ropes.

Having a little ruck with someone as immovable as Tommy had been daunting, but he’d only tapped her gently in retaliation, Aimee marvelling that she could punch him as hard as she was physically capable, and he didn’t move or flinch once. He liked Aimee a lot, and was looking forward to meeting Chantelle, the other apple of Darla’s eye, the lady herself arriving with them about fifteen minutes later, glued to her phone.

“Absolutely not, nope, I want my usual brand of powders or nothing at all. I’ve told you before I don’t like that other brand, it doesn’t adhere well. No, I will not accept it! Get me my acrylic and realise how much damned money I spend with you people per month, then reflect on that financial loss if I decide to take my business to another wholesaler! Thank you, goodbye!” Hanging up, she widened her eyes, phone placed back in her bag. “Jesus! All that for acrylic! Hi, Tommy. Nice to meet you. Oh god, you really are freakin’ huge!” she added as he stood, giving him a hug.

“Yeah, good to meet you too, Chantelle,” he returned, while she moved to hug and kiss Aimee in greeting.

“So, what happened here? Let me see,” she exclaimed, touching her fingers to her face, Aimee lowering the ice filled towel to reveal her bruised face.

“I didn’t keep my guard up,” she confessed, Chantelle wincing as she saw the area already beginning to bruise.

“Come on then, Tommy. What’s the worst injury you’ve ever copped?” she then asked, Aimee pouring her a glass of wine from the bottle she’d bought upon arrival.

“Dislocated hip. That hurt like shit when they cracked it back in, even sedated. They shot me up with all kinds of drugs afterwards. Meadow says I was like Ozzy Osbourne after a bender for the six hours that followed.”

Both cringed and exclaimed at even imagining a hip dislocation, laughing then at his likening of himself to Ozzy.

“Lord, how I could not put myself through what y’all crazy martial arts people do!” she snorted, pointing between them.

“You cry when you break a nail,” Aimee scoffed.

“You’re afraid of a squirrel,” she fired back, entertained.

“Oh, the little guy Darla feeds?” Tommy inquired, trying not to grin.

“He did it again the other day, threw his shit at me!”

“Isn’t that what monkeys do to demonstrate when they’re pissed off?” he then questioned, Aimee’s face making him laugh behind his hand as he rested his chin against it, elbow propped on the arm of the big, cosy chair he sat in.

“And squirrels!” she confirmed, huffing at Chantelle, who was laughing and clapping.

“You gotta feed him, boo. That’s why he’s mad!

“Fucking Darla. She made friends with a house spider one time, too, wouldn’t let me smush him with a book! Sat there letting it crawl all over her. I swear, she’s some kind of female version of Steve Urwin.” Her comparison roused a big laugh, just as the lady herself was approaching, Tommy turning and feeling his heart jump in his chest, as it always did, but especially after they’d decided to give themselves some cooling down time in the wake of what happened in Pittsburgh.

He’d naively thought that maybe that one time would have gotten it out of his system, but alas, it was not to be. Looking at her again, he felt himself stir in all the places she awakened him, the feelings he tried so desperately to hide swirling up to the surface. Whenever she wasn’t there and it hit him that he’d cheated on Cassie with her, the guilt smacked him hard, but seeing Darla again, all he could think was that what they’d done had been right.

She’d hit her twenty sixth week and was absolutely radiant, her little bump now much bigger, her hand often rested to it affectionately, just like it was as she approached. His heart continued to flutter madly at such a sight.

She was dressed simply, but looked completely gorgeous in her long, green dress and an oversized cardigan that slid off one shoulder, keeping out the late autumnal chill. Seeing her, belly swollen with his baby, absolutely radiant, it did something to his insides that he was never in a rush to stop feeling, but alas, his fears he’d confided in his brother and best friend were still extremely prevalent in his mind.

“Hi, how you doing?” he greeted her with, leaning to kiss her cheek, his hand stroking the swell of her bump. “Hey, my boy. You being good for mommy?” It didn’t feel awkward at all with her, as he’d envisioned it might. It was just natural. Just them.

“No, he isn’t. He’s still demanding I crave fried chicken. Chicken, for heaven’s sakes! I haven’t eaten meat in ten years and I can’t even be within a block radius of KFC without breaking out in a sweat!”

“I’ll have to start calling you Pheebs,” he commented, chuckling, referencing of course Phoebe Buffay’s pregnant meat cravings in Friends.

“I’m not giving in like she did, though! I got the vegan version.”

He raised his eyebrows. “And how did that work?”

“I’m somewhat sated. Somewhat.” What she really craved the most, though, she couldn’t share with him, moving to greet her friends before landing her tired ass in a comfy seat. Him. She wanted Tommy in every way she could have him, her libido through the roof. All those hormones, all that longing to have her baby’s father between her legs, it was playing havoc with her emotions, which teetered on a precarious precipice enough as it was. That one time at her parents' house just hadn’t been enough for her.

But no, Tommy just kept on becoming more mouth-watering to her whenever she saw him, especially since he’d gone through somewhat of an image upgrade. He was always one of the most insanely gorgeous men she’d ever seen, but after changing his hair for a short back and sides and growing a tidily trimmed beard, she positively growled on the inside at seeing him again after their imposed break.

It didn’t bode well that tonight, she would be meeting his girlfriend for the first time.

Thankfully, she had her attention distracted by the swift arrival of Meadow and Heather, going to stand up to greet them but being swiftly ushered back down.

“Sit, sit, you’re pregnant, let me come down to your level, sweetie,” Meadow began, kissing her cheek as they exchanged a hug.

“Girl, you’re rocking the Christina Hendricks thing even more in that top. Wooo!” Darla exclaimed as she greeted Heather, who she had thought bore a very striking resemblance to the actress upon first meeting her.

“Oh, I should be so lucky!” she laughed dismissively, moving to introduce herself to Aimee and Chantelle after greeting Tommy. They ordered drinks and sat down, everyone engaging in some getting to know you chit chat, Meadow in particular semi-lost in thought as she witnessed Tommy with his hand reached out, held against Darla’s bump. He’d said to her recently that she’d begun to feel little flutters from the baby, both of them keen to feel him actually kicking for the first time.

Watching them, she noted just how adorable they looked, wondering to herself what on earth was keeping them apart, since they were getting along so brilliantly these days. She still couldn’t reconcile what he’d told her after their Pittsburgh trip. Brilliantly is how their afternoon, stretching into early evening went, though, everyone having a good time as the alcohol flowed, Darla feeling a little left out being the only sober one there, but enjoying herself all the same. Even more so when Heather began detailing a game she’d played with her colleagues at work on break the previous afternoon.

“So, you start with ten fingers,” she began, Tommy immediately raising an eyebrow.

“Oh, you do, huh? I’m not too sure exactly how much more I need to hear about the finer details of my bestie’s sex life,” he joked, Heather giving him an exasperated look while the other women all howled laughing.

“Be quiet! Hold ten fingers up and lower one for each thing you’ve done. Tommy, darling, you two smutty bastards might as well just sit on your hands now,” she added, winking at her wife, further hysterics enduring. “Okay, cheated on someone.”

Heather and Chantelle were the only two to put a finger down.

“Liar!” Meadow accused, pointing at Tommy. His heart heaved for a second, before he knew of course that his bestie would never rat him out over his indiscretion with Darla, trying to think of who else she could be alluding to.

“Who?”

“Katie O’Shea!” Ahhh, his second girlfriend, cheating on her with Chrissie Montgomery, his third.

“Oh shit, yeah.”

“Had anal?”

Everyone lowered a finger.

“Hey, you told me you didn’t do that!” Tommy then said, his head virtually swivelling in Darla’s direction.

“Not with yours! That shit too big!” More hysterics followed, Darla making cross sign with two fingers directed at him, looking perturbed. Tommy only looked proud, being called out for having a big dick.

“Tied someone up?” Aimee, Darla and Tommy were the only ones to lower a finger.

“Been tied up?” Tommy, Heather, Meadow that time.

“Had sex in a public place?” Everyone did, bar Aimee and Tommy, Meadow quick to point at him once more.

“More lies!” she yelled, picking up her drink and swigging it back.

“When did I?”

“Nine Inch Nails!”

“Oh hell,” he muttered, shrinking in his seat, pulling his cap down over his face.

“I think I need to know the details of this story,” Darla requested, poking him in the arm with her nail.

“I think we all need to be filled in here over the deal here,” Chantelle began. “What, was in the bathroom?”

“Oh, hell no, Chantelle. He did the girl in the damned crowd!” Meadow announced, possibly a little too loudly. The more alcohol she had in her system, the higher her volume. Everyone looked shocked at that revelation, Tommy shrinking more, but grinning as he remembered it. “He’d met her about ten minutes before, some little goth cutie, and he’s there with his tongue down her throat for a couple of songs, before he moved to stand behind her.

“So, I’m more interested in watching the show, but I happened to look over and he’s got his hands up her skirt, and I’m thinking ‘nah, he’s not gonna do that here!’ So, I looked back to the stage, but then back at him a few minutes later, and I can see his hips moving back and forth and I was like ‘oh yeah, okay, bestie is discreetly mid-fuck among a few thousand people, he went there!’ I was shocked, man!”

“Did anyone else notice?” Darla asked, the rest of the women screaming with laughter.

“If they did, they didn’t give a damn. I was drunk and horny,” he shrugged.

“Yeah, I know what happens there!” she exclaimed, pointing at her tummy. “Your dad is such a man whore!” she then told her bump, Tommy leaning over as he stroked it.

“Hey kid, your mom is just as bad. It takes two to tango,” he spoke, rubbing her belly affectionately.

“Baby boy, I never had sex with some random at a Nine Inch Nails gig, though,” she laughed, covering his hand with hers.

“So yeah, little dude. Your mom might be a judgmental ass, but she’s pretty awesome all the same. When she’s not finding something to bust my balls over.” He leaned down further, kissing her bump, the sight making their friends coo at how cute it was. It was also the first thing to greet Cassie from the door as she arrived at the bar. The sight rocked her, witnessing such while also seeing Darla for the first time, not expecting her to be such an absolute knock out, looks wise. Tommy’s baby mama was a true beauty, and while she didn’t have insecurities over her looks, it still hit her in the self-esteem all the same.

Reeling a little as she watched her boyfriend stroking her bump, she made a quick beeline for the bar, trying to remain composed, telling herself that it was normal for an expectant father to act like that when presented with the pregnant stomach containing his first child, reminding herself who’d he’d spent two hours having sex with and declaring his love to the night before. Her, not Darla.

She sank a shot of neat Jack Daniels, her second coming with a measure of coke, taking deep breaths. ‘Keep calm, don’t lose your shit. She’s the mother of his child, and she’s fucking smoking, this much is true, but he’s with you. It’s nothing to lose your head over.’ Her internal monologue was staunch, but she still felt a little weird as she walked over to the table, tapping Tommy’s shoulder, his hands now thankfully back in his lap.

“Hey baby!” he greeted her with warmly, standing to greet her with a kiss. He then introduced her to everyone, Darla lastly, Cassie leaning down to give her a hug. She smelled amazing, like expensive, orange blossom perfume and cocoa butter, and she greeted her so sweetly as well, asking how her day was, pulling an empty seat between her and Tommy, patting it with a smile.

Inside, though, little was Cassie to know that Darla was a mess of emotions, seeing Tommy’s beautiful girlfriend for the first time, with her bright eyes, glossy, blonde hair and lovely smile, Tommy resting his hand on her thigh, suddenly having a mental image of them in a passionate clinch flash through her mind.

Neither woman wanted to at all, but they resented the other instantly for the exact same reason. That reason being the big fella with the tattoos who was absolutely none the wiser.
