And Everything Nice

I am participating in @choicesprompts second challenge.  The prompt will appear in bold. 

I am also participating in @choices-september-challenge-blog day #14 prompt  which will also appear in bold.  

This was a surprise followup  to Cinammon Spice which started as an ask by the lovely @dcbbw  . 

This fic and the previous Cinnamon Spice have a bit of a Pretty Woman like feel to them which is the vibe I going for.  Hope you enjoy this part.  

The Book:  TRR (No Royals)  The Pairings:  Liam x Bebe (Liam x F!OC) Word Count: 1335 Ratings and Warnings:  Teen / Sexual Innuendo. 

Original Post: 09/13/22 at 8:22PM EST. 

“Holy crap, we’re gonna be late!” the woman yelped when her eyes glanced up at the decorative wall clock. “Turn that off!” she ordered in a cross tone to her companion, who was still watching the streaming show.

“Late? For what?” The question was asked in a tone that was both confused and distracted.

“The THING!”

Her companion finally pulled their eyes away from the 60-inch screen, brows furrowed. “I know of no THING,” they protest.

She heaved a huge sigh of exasperation. “It’s on your calendar! Now, stop talking and start moving!” She gently slapped their forearm in light admonishment. “I’m done with the conversation now!”

She turned away to plump her pillows.

Her eyes widened in surprise when she felt arms wrap around her waist and pads of thumbs press into her hips. Her body is a feather as it’s pulled back onto the bed.

“Sit back down!” her companion ordered.

The woman frowns at  him before her eyes find the television screen again.

What the...? Is that …? WHAT is he doing?

“I’m sat!”

He smiled at her.  The way she said those words had come across with a little southern sass that she had complied with him.

“Was that so very difficult for you, Mrs. Spice-Forbes?”

“But we’re going to be late for the thing on your calendar.  We have an arrangement, and the last thing I want is to not make a good impression on these people I’m supposed to impress.”  

“Why does it matter to you? After this week, you won’t have to see any of these people ever again?”  

“But you will, and from what I can tell Mr. Forbes, you like to have a certain type of reputation to be upheld, and I don’t want to be the one to mess that up for you.  It takes a lifetime to build a good reputation, and a minute to ruin it.”  

“More sage advice from Mother Spice I presume?”  

“Something like that, but they are words to live by.”  

“Seems like a lot of pressure to put on yourself at any one given time.”  

“You would know about that wouldn’t you?”

And in that one moment she didn't realize how close she had hit to the vest.  At least, he thought she didn’t.  She saw the look on his face, and lightened the mood.

“But isn’t that how diamonds are made Liam? And I think we’re both diamonds,  I’m more the ‘in the rough’ type.

 You’re the more obvious sparkling type.”

“I beg to differ, Bebe.  You sparkle.”

Bebe could quickly deflect the conversation from herself back to someone else, almost flawlessly. He stood, holding his hand out to her.  

“You were right.  We are going to be late.”  

“What!?!?!”

“It’s time to go shopping. I set us a few appointments.”

With Liam, she was now heading into stores, she never thought she would ever be shopping at in her life.  

“Are you trying to give me my own Cinderella story here?”  

Liam chuckled.  “Are you trying to call me  your fairy godmother?  That’s a new one.”

Liam had already picked up a few things for Bebe to try on, and even though she was not paying, she looked at the price tags.  One dress was almost her portion of the rent she shared with her roommate Riley in their apartment that wasn’t even on the decent side of town.  

“Don’t worry about that  Bebe.  I can afford anything here that gives you the Mrs. Forbes look.”  

“So what would that look like exactly?”

Liam thought for a second.

“Corporate America Chic meets trophy wife.”

"Seriously?"

"I mean it's not like you can't pull that look off." Liam commented with a wink.

The saleswoman laughed looking at the two of them.

"I’m sure we have plenty of items that fit that bill. At least he's being honest with you. How long have the two of you been married?"

Liam looked at his watch.

"We have been enjoying marital bliss for nineteen magical hours so far."

Bebe pulled Liam’s arm closer to her, to closely inspect his watch.

"Nineteen hours and thirty eight minutes  to be exact my darling, but who's keeping track?  Not me Honey!!!”

Liam’s smile widened.  

The saleswoman picked out even more outfits for Bebe that were  professional and had a hint of saucy sex appeal.  

Bebe was staring at the form fitting royal blue dress on the hanger.  

“I don’t think this one is going to go.”

“No it’s going, you got to trust me on it.”

“Carmen, I feel like since we have spent this time together this afternoon, and  you’ve legit dressed every part of me at this point we can call each other by our first names.  Carmen, that itty bitty dress isn’t going to fit on this body.”

“Bebe you’re going to have to trust me, it will, and hubby’s eyes are going to fall out his head when he sees this one on you. This one screams trophy wife.”

She smiled.  “This one, he picked special for you.”    

“Okay…..I’m trusting you.”  

Liam had picked out a few special pieces that Mrs. Forbes would be wearing, in a very special fashion show for him later that evening.  He heard commotion in the dressing room,  and Bebe cackling with laughter.

Liam raised an eyebrow, as now his interest had been piqued, when he heard the saleswoman giggling too..  

“Are you ladies okay in there?  Do you require assistance?”  

“We’re fine.” Both women finally assured him.

“Well in that case,  I have one more thing  for you to try on Bebe with that dress.” 

A box slid under the door.  

“Every Cinderella needs her shoes.”

Carmen opened the box and gasped.  

“You better hold on tight to him!  He got you the Jimmy Choo Alia pumps.”

The shoes were nothing less than Cinderella worthy which made Bebe wonder, that Liam was so intent in spoiling her in this moment to give them the appearance of a happily married couple, why couldn’t he just have this on his own?  Why did he have to ‘buy’ it?  He seemed like a nice enough guy.  But she was single too.  Dating  in the city proved to be very difficult at times.  

Especially when men found out you had a job as an escort.  They all assumed that being an escort  always meant a “happy ending.”  That was not always the case.  Some men Bebe had been around, truly did only want companionship.  And some, of course some were dogs.  Liam seemed like the one that truly did want companionship, but just hadn’t been exactly lucky at love.  

“Told you it would go.”  

“But breathing is optional apparently.”  

“You won’t be wearing that dress long.  Trust me.”  

Bebe walked out of the dressing room. Liam was staring down at his phone until he heard the clicks of the heels approaching him.

  Liam glanced up, his eyes widening traveling up her body.  

His eyes stopped when they met hers.

“So it’s a no right?”  Not feeling this one? Me neither, I’ll just go....”  

Liam grabbed her arm and she started laughing.

“It’s a hell yes!  It’s a she’s wearing that out of here.  We’re ready to check out right  now.”  

“Okay! Let me go and change.”  

“Did I stutter Woman!?!?!  You’re wearing that out of here, we’re leaving now.”

“Guess he likes it.”  

In a matter of minutes they were headed to Liam’s vehicle back to his place. The way he looked at her, and the way his hand gently caressed her thigh as he drove back to his apartment, Bebe had a decision to make.  They could barely keep their hands off each other as they rode the elevator to his penthouse apartment.  

Her decision was yes.  They were two consenting adults, hell they were married for that matter.  Well maybe not married, but she did have a ring.

“One request Mrs. Forbes?”

“Yes Mr. Forbes?”

“Cinderella should keep her shoes  on for now.”

Bebe winked.   “I can do that.  One request for you Mr. Forbes?”

Liam raised an eyebrow. “Yes Mrs. Forbes?”

“Bite me.”  

Liam licked his lips.  “If you Insist.”

CFWC Writer of the Month May 2022 Bebepac

Each month CFWC highlights one of our many talented fanfic writers and this month’s writer of the month is @bebepac ! We hope you will enjoy learning more about her and her work below! Writer is selected at random. More info can be found on the navigation page.

Blog: @bebepac

How do you want to be known on Tumblr?  You can call me Bebe or Bee.

Quick Links:

BLOG MASTERLIST

See More Below!

1- When did you start playing Choices? What's the first book you played? 

I started playing choices in mid-2018 or early 2019 I think?:  TRR was between books two and three because I caught up to where the series was and had to wait for weekly releases 

I played Rules of Engagement and The Freshman at the same time.  TRR came on my radar when I saw that Leo was the Leo from there.   

2- When, and why, did you join Choices fandom?.

I saw a post on Reddit talking about the Tumblr choices fandom when was looking for TRR information between books

3- How did you pick your url name? 

Bebe is actually one of the nicknames I go by and Pac is actually because I still want to go back to school to become a Physician Assistant  a  PA-C.

4- Go back to your archive and tell us about the first post on your Choices blog. 

My first posts were TRH inspired, with pictures of the Royal Heir.   My first chapter I wrote was a one-shot called Ride With Me

5- How long have you been writing fanfiction?

I started writing in January 2020

6- What is your favorite Choices book to write about?

TRR, I use the characters, but they’re not always royal in the series I put them in.

7- Share the first fanfic you wrote with us. Do you still like it or would you change anything about it?

A WIP is the earliest thing I can find that I shared on CFWC

8- What is your favorite fic that you’ve written?

Greek Meat - in May 2020 I was supposed to spend 12 days in Greece, but due to the pandemic, my trip was canceled.  That fictionalized series was kind of the time I hoped to have with me and my good friend who planned to go together. 

9- Do you have a fic that you didn’t expect to be well received, but it was? What about one you expected to be, but it could use a little more love?

I didn’t expect The Rotten Apple to be well received, and I have gotten some very negative messages about it.  It does have a taboo storyline, but I truly enjoy writing the story, and the evolution of the characters.

I expected The Life of Riley: Book One to do better.  It made me feel like I was the only one who really wanted Riley to have a backstory,  so I created one for her that explained integral parts of her life in the canon story where she didn’t have family there to support her.  

10- What is your specialty as a fanfic writer?

Drama and angst,  I can write fluff, but fluff is not my go to.  I do promise on my page, you get original fics with dramatic flair.  

11- If you could write only angst, fluff, or smut for the rest of your writing life, which would it be and why? 

Angst.  They say you write what you know, and I’ve had to deal with tough things in my life.

12- Do you ever recognize yourself in any of your MC’s or in your writing?

All of my MCs have components of me, all are left-handed like myself.  But if I had to rank them the most like me is  My original Riley Brooks Character (most emotionally like me when I explain how my Riley reacts to things, I always put myself in her shoes.)  Mia from my series Pop’s Place and Mia’s World  My New Riley (from The Blue Honey Cafe)

13- What element of writing do you struggle with most?

Not adequately conveying what I’m thinking to the page, or giving as much detail as I should.   I know what I see, but I need to help  you see what I see.  This is something I’ve been working on.

14- Do you have any neglected work you really want to finish?

I have several series that are really close to being done. Just the Way You are (TRR x Perfect Match crossover) The Days the Earth Stood Still (TRR) 

15- If someone you know in real life (who isn’t involved in fandoms) asked to read your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you recommend they read first?

Funny:  Greek Meat Drama:  Fast Forward 

16- Are there any writers (published authors and/or fanfic writers) who influenced your writing?

@dcbbw on the fandom,  my struggle point I mentioned about my writing, is something she gave me as constructive criticism and I appreciate it.  

Giving me the courage to write when I told them I had a story idea fandom peeps @janezillow @dcbbw.  Thank you for believing in me.

17- Which one of your stories would you most like to see as a movie/series? 

Greek Meat 

18- Do you write original stories?

I write very little canon in my stories so I think of them as original and most of my storylines aren’t actually set in Cordonia.

I also write a lot of pieces based in my hometown area which I think gives them a very unique feel.

19 -  What other hobbies do you have?

Music, movies, and now that the pollening is no longer among us I want to get back into the great outdoors more until it gets too hot!

20 - What’s your favorite emoji? 

Right now it’s the red apple for my series The Rotten Apple 🍎

21: BONUS - tell us anything you’d like (if you want to).

I am very appreciative of everyone who is reading and following the storylines that I am creating.  Tumblr can feel hard sometimes, especially when you are a small blog, and I am.  I appreciate liking, commenting, and especially reblogging, as that’s how others see your work as a writer on this platform.  Thank you to all that are supporting me for supporting my writing.

[zoey-wades]

okay i went to that bebe person’s tumblr account and i saw the header to her trr/trh story and I JUST REALIZED that her mc’s parents (adoptive parents) are white, and i think that says a lot about her beliefs and values. not saying that having white adoptive parents when you’re black are wrong, but if you couple it with her blm story, it makes totally perfect sense on why she’s defending her actions

I saw that too. I think she has a lot of internal issues that she needs to sort out. Of course, self awareness would push that personal growth forward. I don’t think she has much of it.

Oh well 🤷🏾‍♀️ can’t help someone that doesn’t wanna be helped.

The Bloodbound Playlist

Second up in my series of playlists is Bloodbound. I was a little worried that it was too soon for this one because whereas with TRR we’ve had three books to get to know the characters this one has only had one. But I really like the characters in this book and the story so here we go...

MC - Wonder Woman by Lion Babe MC in this book is phase by NOTHING. She just shrugs of all kinds of bizarre shit like it’s nothing. ‘Oh my boss is a vampire? I guess that means I work nights now’ So this is just a badass female anthem that my Bloodbound MC would totally listened to as she power-walked through Manhattan to work.

Adrian - Heirloom by Sleeping at Last and In the Name of Love by Martin Garrix and Bebe Rexha As with the last one the LIs get two songs; one songs for if you choose them and one for if you don’t. Heirloom is the one for if you don’t choose him and I kind of imagined it as being directed to him from Gaius Augustine who is kind of like his father in a way so ‘You are so much more than your father’s son, you are so much more than what I’ve become’ makes me think of that relationship. In the Name of Love is the one for if yuo do choose him and I think it’s pretty self-explanatory; Adrian would do anything for MC, fight to protect her life but he also has faith in her abilities and never really treats her like she’s not strong enough even though she’s a human surrounded by vampires. So yeah MC and Adrian doing it all in the name of love.

Kamilah - Warriors by Imagine Dragons and Female of the Species by Space Warriors is Kamilah if she’s not your love interest. She is strong as hell, confident and quite literally built this town. She just exudes power and competence and you would definitely want her on your team in any fight. Female of the Species was the first song that I knew I wanted to put on this playlist. I totally started this book intending to romance Adrian - he was just so sweet and lovely - but I found myself buying all the Kamilah diamond scenes because she was just so compelling. In her case the femal of the species most definitely is more deadly than the male.

Lily - I Like That by Janelle Monae and Fire Meet Gasoline by Sia I Like that is such an effortlessly cool song about being ‘crazy, sexy, cool’ whilst being a bit weird and off-centre which I think is Lily head to toe. I kind of imagined she was the kid who got bullied at school for not being cookie cutter but she didn’t care at all and always knew she was awesome. And Janelle Monae is totally who I would cast as Lily in a Bloodbound movie! Fire Meet Gasoline is a relationship where you seem to constantly put each other in dangerous positions and it never feels very safe or comfortable; but nonetheless you are drawn together and burn for each other. And I kind of feel that way about Lily and MC - it’s only because of MC that Lily is a vampire at all and they are in almost constant peril as a result. (also that threesome was smoking hot - fire meets gasoline indeed.)

Jax - Bad Blood by Bastille and Wild Love by James Bay When I was trying to think of the right song for Jax I wanted to think of a song that reflected him as a leader of a group who were cast out and reviled through no real fault of their own but that he made the decision to handle this not through civil war but by winning support and trust through his morality.  The Line in this song that really made me think of Jax is the chorus  “ All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry? It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?” Wild Love reflects that the moments with Jax are a bit more rough and ready than the others - no rooftop pools or fancy apartments - its all a bit underground but no less great for it “I wanna go where the lights burn low and you’re only mine.”

Priya - She’s So Mean by Matchbox Twenty So I saw Priya getting a lot of love on Tumblr, lots of people wanted her to be a love interest. And I was just sitting there thinking WHY THOUGH?! She is so mean, crazy mean but she’s beautiful so she gets the benefit of the doubt. “Yeah you want her - but she’s so mean. You never let her go, why don’t you let her go?”

Adam Vega - Karma Police by Radiohead So this might be a bit of a cheat because its less of a reflection on Adam’s character as such and more about his betrayal and final scenes. By the end of this book Karma really has come for Adam. And I kind of imagine the crew saying to him ‘this is what you get when you mess with us’ and the moment when Adrian goes all superpowered and beats him...’for a minute there I lost myself’

The Baron - Apres Moi by Regina Spektor I don’t really have much of an explanation for this. It just has an air of menace about it and a desire to sow fear ‘Be afraid of the old they’ll inherit your soul’ I actually really love this song but there is no denying it’s pretty creepy. And there is also the sense of a survivor about it - I mean who would have thought The Baron would make it out of the book alive?! (well undead but you get my point)

BONUS: Teeth by Lady Gaga I absolutely refuse to do a playlist about sexy vampires without having this song on it! So no it doesn’t fit with any of the characters particularly but it 100% makes it on to the playlist.

And that’s it. Lester doesn’t get a song because he’s pointless and literally the only thing he ever did was creep on us at the beginning so he is OUT.

You can find the full playlist on Spotify here

Six Sentence Sunday 03.31.24

Is it me you're looking for? Yes, I know I've been M.I.A. for a bit, but you guys I'm really trying to upper level adult here. I have decided I'm going to buy a house. So I have hired a realtor and have started the process. When my lease is up again, I WILL be moving into my home.

Chapter 9: Riley Brooks's Day Off

The Series: Life of Riley Book 2

The Book: TRR

Pairings: Liam x Riley (Liam x F!MC)

Status: Still in the writing process

Since the challenges Constantine had been coming up with weekly for the suitors were getting a lot of publicity for the crown, the suitors met weekly for a meeting with a PR specialist to make sure they had the crown’s best interests in everything they did. They also passed out weekly itineraries of what the Suitors would be doing. Did it ever reveal any events they would be participating in? No, but that their sponsor would be revealing the new task and prize for that week."

Riley thumbed through the itinerary, once than again looking confused.

“Is something wrong Lady Riley?”

“Jenna, my booklet seems to be missing a page. I have nothing for Friday’s itinerary .”

“Actually no you’re not. None of you are. Since I've just been brought into this role, I know you ladies are going through a lot being thrust into the public eye in this magnitude. Lady Riley, you for example, you are coming to us from America and have no experience with dealing with the nobility on a daily basis, and are completely learning how to navigate court successfully from scratch. I recognize this to be quite the experience. The potential reward of all of this is indescribable, but you all need breathing moments for mental and physical wellbeing. We are building in “off days” to your schedule to do what you want with it, a recharge day of sorts, or a mental health day if you will.”

“Well if you’re weak you need days off. I will spend my time training.” Olivia chimed in.

“If that is how you want to spend your day Olivia, there are no wrong answers, it’s free to do whatever you want, as long as you enjoy it.”

That evening:

“Of course, you would have an off day when I’m out of the country.” Liam sounded genuinely disappointed.

“I know I thought about that too.”

“Take it as an opportunity Riley, do some exploring, sleep in a little bit, we both know you like your sleep. Relax. You know, life moves really fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

“You’re completely right Liam. Thanks.”

“Sounds like you have a plan.”

“I do.”

When she hung up with him, she called Maxwell.

“What’s up Little Blossom?”

“I need your help.”

Part 3: Spice Spice Baby

Series: Not officially one: Previous Parts include: Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice

The Book: TRR

Pairings: Liam x Bebe (Liam x F!OC)

Status: Still in the writing process

I have never required that much sleep. There has always been something so peaceful about the world at night for me. I glanced at her once more before getting out of bed. She was soundly sleeping and didn’t even stir from her slumber as I rose. A good mattress will do that, and honestly I think she needed the rest. I slipped on my pajama pants and walked to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water.

Night time was when I did my best thinking, and the thought crossed my mind that the two of us would be able to pull off this ruse with my coworkers. Bebe really did seem invested to make “us work.” Or maybe she was invested in the paycheck.

“Was my snoring keeping you awake?”

Bebe was standing in the doorway of the kitchen, resting her hip on the frame, her robe loosely tied.

“You don’t snore.”

“And you,” she gently tapped my nose with her pointer finger, “are a liar.”

“I wasn’t lying, I didn’t hear you snoring, or if you were, you weren’t disturbing me.”

“Why are you up, Liam?”

“Why are you up, Bebe?”

She quirked her eyebrow at me, crossing her arms over her chest.

“I rarely sleep through the whole night, I’m always up for a bit.”

“Why?”

Her stare from across the room was almost piercing my soul.

“Therapist was not one of your duties I'm paying you for in our contract.”

She looked surprised, but more importantly, hurt by my remark. In a split second I had turned her into a business arrangement that she was a prostitute, that I was paying for a service.

“Oh, well you’re paying me a handsome sum, therefore I feel like I should be anything you need me to be at the moment. I’ll just….”

I had hurt her feelings, and snapped at her, and I didn’t even know why, and the look in her eyes, I didn’t want to ever see that again.

“Life.” I called out to her before she was out of the room. Bebe immediately stopped and turned to face me.

“I can relate to that. Do you mind if I just sit up with you for a bit then?”

“No, not at all.”

Bebe settled into the couch next to me. She didn’t say a word, but I found her silence and non-judgment strangely comforting.

WIP 3

Part 4

Series: The Vampires Live On

The Book: TRR

The Pairing: Liam x Riley (in this decade Gabriel x Alice in the past)

Status: Still in the writing process

“We’re here.”

“I really didn’t think it would be this clean here. I know what you said, but looking at the other graves along the way here, I expected the same condition.”

“You know, I can be very persuasive, and keeping in contact as the groundskeeper’s changed over the years, very important in this. “

“I didn’t think they would be buried side by side.”

“Because that didn’t matter here, and since he died, protecting the two of you, his family wanted nothing to do with him.”

“Poor Max. He was such a good sweet guy. What we were, or not completely, never mattered to him.”

I placed the small flower arrangement into the vase at his grave.

“I have missed you dear friend,”

“I’m going to give you some time alone with your sister and friend.”

“You can stay.”

“No, I’ve been with you for an eternity, you have not had any time with her or him since that night. I want you to have some time alone with them. You deserve that.”

“Thank you, Liam.”

Even though the space around her grave was clean, I found myself picking up and pushing the few leaves and debris away to make her area more pristine.

I sat down in the grass in front of her grave and closed my eyes, letting the emotions of finally being here with her again wash over me.

“Hi Clara. I have missed you so much.”

WIP 4

Chapter 17: Finale Part 4: The Wedding

Series: The Rotten Apple 🍎

The Book: TRH & Beyond

Pairings: Eleanor x Nico (Elle x M!OC) / Liam x Riley

Status: Still in the writing process

Final exams for Liberty had ensured that she wouldn’t be able to come to Greece early to take part in some of the pre-wedding festivities that Elle had planned. Elle felt guilty that Liberty would be missing her graduation from the Crown Academy to come to her wedding; her father had wanted to pull some strings for Liberty, but Elle declined, citing the importance of her education, though she did want her there.

Elle smiled as she panned the camera around the back yard.

"I really wish I was there Ellie."

"I really wish I was there. Libby! Look at you in your cap and gown. Father and I stepped away for a bit to watch the live feed of the baccalaureate."

"Thanks Ellie."

"For what?"

"Just making an effort. I can't wait to see you and everyone."

“Does that include Michail? He looked so sad when I told him you would not be here tonight.”

A slow smile crept over Liberty’s face.

“He looks sad?”

Elle laughed, “You’re clearly not about that.”

“Did he dance with any other girls?”

“Just one.”

“Who?”

Elle’s smile widened.

“Only me, when he could pull me away from Nico, all he talked about was you. He really likes you Libby.”

“You think so?”

“I know so, and he can’t wait to see you tomorrow and neither can I.”

“Neither can I!”

Six Sentence Sunday / Mood Music Monday 03/19/23

Guess who’s back, back again! Bebe’s back, tell a friend, coming at you with another six sentence sunday.  Work is still busy yes, but I’ve still managed  to do some writing.   I did finish Twenty Five Twenty One, and I loved it.  Now Shadow and Bone is back and that’s another of my favorites, for Season Two, which inspired some things:

He didn’t even notice her watching him, well not at first.  Nico was sitting up in bed reading a book.  She rested her body against the door frame, watching him.  Finally his eyes slowly drifted up from the book to her.

“What?”  He inquired.

She giggled at him.  Nico smiled back, shaking his head, not understanding.  “Tell me,  what's so funny?”

Riley giggled.  “You’re so cute, Nico.”

Nico set the book on the night table.

“I’m cute?”

Riley nodded her head.

“Very cute. Did you know that your lips move when you are reading to yourself?” 

Nico's smile widened, and he nodded in affirmation.

“Yes, I know, but only when I'm reading a book in English.  I like to sound out the words in my head while I’m reading, to practice my English.”

“You can barely detect your accent at times when you speak English.”  

“I learned it very young and because I practice! A lot of doors have opened for me in my life knowing multiple languages. I know we’re doing the right thing  teaching Angelo both English and Greek at the same time.  He speaks perfect Greek already.”

“He’s only two.”  

“Well he speaks perfect Greek for a two year old. I want all of our children to know multiple languages.  It’s important. I want all of our children to have every opportunity they can possibly have.”  

“All of our children?”

He jumped out of bed walking over to her, pulling her into his warm embrace.

“Yes, all of the children we’re going to have together, but we have to make them first. We have work to do Wife, come on!"

Riley squealed as Nico picked her up, carrying her over to their bed.

Based on her due date, that night three weeks before they found out about his diagnosis, Riley had finally gotten pregnant. 

They had created life together, before they knew Nico's life would be ending.

Riley blinked away the tears.  When she opened her eyes, their bed was empty. Nico passed away almost two months ago. It... was just a memory. A memory of when they were happy, before cancer invaded their lives.

"Do you know where we're going?"

"Yes, the older part of the cemetery is in the back.  We should be able to find their graves rather easily.  I’ve been paying the groundskeeper to keep their graves maintained.”  

“All of this time?”  

Liam nodded.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I don’t know.  It just never came up in regular conversation.  You never talked much about what happened to her, to them, I didn’t want to push you. It was hard for you.  Every year on the anniversary, I don’t even have to look at a calendar to know, you pull away completely from me and you mourn for her.”  

“I miss her terribly Gabriel.”

“I know.”  

He pulled me close to him in a calming embrace.

“What do you think she would have liked the best about this century we are living in?”  

I laughed.

“What?”  

“The music.  She loved music and she loved dancing.  She would have loved it all.  She would have wanted to try it all. Every form of dance. I wasn’t as talented with dancing and singing as she was.  She created all our routines and painstakingly taught me all the movements.  She said I had two left feet.”

“I would have never known that, from the way you dance.”  

“I still count the beats of the music in my head to this day to stay in perfect time, thanks to her.”

“We’re here.”  

“I really didn’t think it would be this clean here. I know what you said, but looking at the other graves along the way here, I expected the same condition.”  

“You know,  I can be very persuasive.”

“Pops believed in the hustle, I typically only  run it in the summers, because there are so many opportunities for extra outdoors events.  It’s more light snacks and some sliders sort of thing.  Are you here alone?”

“I didn’t know you had a food truck!”  

“Yep, I didn’t feel like staying in tonight and I saw the advertisement for the movie on the lawn.  I’m trying to put myself out there more, even if I go out alone. You know? Try to be more social, maybe I’ll make some new friends. That sort of thing.”

“I know I get it.  I have been thinking the same thing too.  Some of my school kids are home for the summer and want to run the food truck and I might let them so I can have more free time.”

“Have you heard anything about this movie?”  

“Yes, I heard this movie was crazy, but I haven't seen it yet, I've been wanting to.”

“Yeah I have wanted to see The Rotten Apple 🍎 too.”  

“Maybe you’ll get to have a break,  come find me, you can sit with me for a bit. Help me not feel like a loser sitting by myself here.”  

“Riley you’re definitely not a loser, and yes I’ll come find you when I can.”  

She smiled at him.  “I’d like that a lot.”

He noticed Riley picked a spot on the lawn that was in his eyeline from the food truck.  Did she do that on purpose so he could easily find her?

About thirty minutes into the movie the crowd had died down and everyone was engrossed in the movie  Elle, the main character of the movie was something else.

“Who’s this large buttered popcorn for?”  Mason asked his part time worker Todd.

“For you,  I can handle the crowd, you go sit with that cutie you were flirting with.”  

He glanced out over the lawn, Riley was still sitting alone.

“If the line picks back up crazy, I’ll text you. Go.”  

Mason grabbed two more drinks and headed out to the lawn where Riley was sitting on a blanket.

“Is this seat taken?”  

Riley smiled.  “It is now, and you brought snacks!”

Elle rolled back over in bed, It was barely dawn. When she moved, she felt Nico's grip tighten around her. He softly kissed her earlobe and whispered in her ear.

"Go back to sleep, she's not up yet."

"Just because she's still sleeping doesn't mean that we have to."

"Mmmmm….wonder what's on your mind?"

Nico gently kissed her neck, nipping at her skin, grinding his hips into hers.

"Feels like the same thing that is on your mind."

Elle licked her lips pulling Nico's shirt off.

"A little delight to keep you in a good mood at work?"

"Yes, I love that idea."

“Then maybe you should lock the door?”

In case you were wondering, I’m still around!  I know I’ve been slacking on my posting and updating on fics, but life has been coming at me fast lately and still keeps coming.  I’m glad I have some ideas bubbling, it’s just not been easy to get them down.

I will say this though,  I have been doing the choices prompts, and it’s opening up different pairings, and so far, each of the stories I’ve written for it weren’t things I was planning to do.  So here’s to opening up different pairings in my writing.  Hope you enjoy these series of one shots, who knows, they might open up to be a new series at a later date who knows!?!?!?

Here’s what I posted recently:  Part 2 of my Pretty Woman-like story

“This isn’t working for me anymore.”’

“Excuse me?”

“You heard me.”

“This was the agreement. This has always been the agreement. Or have you forgotten?”

“I’ve forgotten nothing. But everything is different now.”

“Nothing has changed Leo. You proposed.  I accepted.  I was supposed to be Queen.   From the beginning you and I were to be paired together.“

“Madeleine, everything is different now.  I fell in love,  I’m going back to  meet the cruise in Greece at the next port they stop.  I want to be with Katie.  I have a chance for true love. I’m going to take it.  

“True love is a myth Leo.  It’s not what we do here.  You grow to love someone. That’s what we do here.”  

“It doesn’t have to be like that, people like us can have more. Don’t you want more for yourself?”

“You know what I want Leo?  I want to be Queen! I was born and bred for it.”

“Well, it won’t happen with me then. I abdicated the throne to be with her.”

“YOU WHAT! FOR WHAT?!?!?!”

“This is not the life I was meant to live Maddy, in a loveless marriage with you.”

“I AM SUPPOSED TO BE QUEEN!”  

“I don’t love you, and you don’t love me Maddy.”  

“I love Cordonia with all of my heart.”

“That may be so, but you don’t love me.”

“It’s the same thing Leo.”

“I AM NOT CORDONIA!!!! AND I DON’T WANT TO BE KING!!!!”

She glanced around the outdoor venue.  It was a beautiful intimate setup. She knew she personally had nothing to do with the setup, but she could see little hints of her own attention to detail in the decor for the day.  That was one thing she got from her.  She had been independent and had  asked for no help or financial assistance from the crown, for this day; she had made this day her own.   Eleanor has always excelled in arts and crafts, and she could tell some of the beautiful little details and arrangements were made by Eleanor herself. 

This day was very special to her.    Finally her nerves had gotten the best of her. She felt like an intruder, even though she had been invited.

“I shouldn’t have done this.  This was a huge mistake.  I don’t want to upset her.  Not today, when she’s going to be so happy. She deserves that.  I don’t want to ruin this for her.  I should leave before I’m seen.”

Riley jumped from her seat.  A few people around her glanced in her direction, but no one said anything as she wasn’t recognized wearing her veil.

Liberty grabbed her arm.  “Mother, you won’t ruin it.  Please don’t leave. It means you truly care for her if you stay.  It will mean a lot to her if she knows you stayed.  It’s a small private event on purpose. And I’m glad you took me up on my offer to be my plus one.  Father has no idea?”  

“No, we didn’t speak before he left. I suspect he was hurt and angry with me.”  

Riley resumed her seat in the corner, taking Liberty’s hand.  “What’s going on with me and your Father is not anything for you to worry about.”

“But I do worry Mother.  You and father don’t even share a bedroom anymore.  Are you getting a divorce?”  

“I don’t know.  I hope not.  I still love your father.  And I think he loves me too.”

Eating For One

Original Post: 08/24/21 at 8:40PM EST.

I am participating in @wackydrabbles​​​ prompt # 109 “I would die before I let anything happen to you.” will appear in bold.

I am also participating in @choicesaugustchallenge​​​ day # 25 kiss and make up. 

This is The Meet Chapter 8.  To catch up on what you’ve been missing so far, please click The Meet.

I decided to make this a Prequel to Greek Meat . If you haven’t read it, it’s a funny read. 

The Book: TRR AU (no royals) Pairings:  Liam x Jilian  (Liam x F!OC) / Leo x Bebe (Leo x F!OC) Word Count: 1864 Warnings: Profanity, sexual innuendo Rating: PG

Summary: The couples go out on a double dinner date.  Riley leaves for California.  

Leo, Liam, and Riley belong to PB,  Jilian belongs to @queenjilian​​​ , and all other characters are my own to tell our story.  

Bebe glanced at Leo.  Damnit, Bebe had ghosted people, or put them on the block list for less.  He freaking forgot about her, causing her to wait out in the sweltering North Carolina summer heat and humidity for him for over an hour.  She had told him things were okay, but she was still angry with him.

“I’m going to have to take a shower before we go out to dinner, I feel disgusting.” 

“Alright.”  

Once back at Liam and Leo’s apartment, Bebe quickly greeted everyone and made a quick beeline for the shower to get freshened up for their night out.  Her leaving some clothes in Leo’s closet really saved her today.   The outfit  she had planned to wear out that night with a few minor accessory tweaks, was a total loss and she felt like she had swamp ass in it.

She stared at herself in the mirror, straightening her dress. Not as cute as outfit number one, but it would do fine in this pinch.

Walking back out of Leo's room he abruptly stood and smiled at her. “You look beautiful Bee.”  

“Thanks.”  

“Everyone ready?”  I’ll drive.”  

They all headed out to Liam’s vehicle, and it took him no time to get everyone to the restaurant.  

The restaurant was crowded but thankfully they had gotten reservations so there wasn’t a wait, as they were quickly seated when they arrived.  When the waitress arrived for drink orders, Leo ordered himself a drink and one for Bebe.

“I’m not drinking tonight, can you make that vanilla rum and coke a sweet tea instead?”  

He looked surprised at Bebe.

“I have to work tomorrow, and early.  I’m not trying to be all hungover at work.”  

“I understand, I’m still drinking, but I have to pick up your car for you in the morning.”

“I’m guessing you mean ‘we’?” Liam inquired.

“It would save me not having to get a ride share to the mechanic, and then back home from Bebe’s job.  Thanks Li, I owe you one.”

“You’re buying our dinner tonight. That's how I'm collecting.”

“I can buy my own….”  Jili started to say.

Liam softly shushed her.  “I was buying your meal, so it’s like me eating it, now me doing a favor for my brother, he’s got me.   We’re teaching him a lesson.  Not being responsible gets expensive.”

“I know I made a mistake, but Bebe, forgave me for it.”  

Did she though?

 Jili thought Bebe looked like she was in her place of quiet anger. 

 Jili raised an eyebrow at Liam.  

“You guys know I'm indecisive. What's everyone getting?”  Bebe asked.

“The whole left side of the menu looks great, I think I’m going for that.”   Jili chuckled.

“You’re worse than me Jili, and hit him where it hurts!"  Liam laughed out loud.

Leo glanced around the table.  "I see how y'all are."

There was silence as everyone looked at their menus and ate some of the complementary bread sticks.

Liam affectionately put his arm around Jili as she sat in the booth with him, they smiled at each other.  

Leo glanced at Bebe raising an eyebrow. She nodded in agreement.

“Jili and Liam… there’s actually something we wanted to tell you.” Leo started saying.

He took Bebe's hand in his.

Jili’s eyes widened, and she gasped loudly.

“Oh my GOD!!!!  You’ve never turned down alcohol Bebe, are you pregnant?”  

Bebe spit out her drink she had been sipping.

“WHAT?!?!?! OH GOD NO!!!!!!! Bleh!!!!!"

“I thought you wanted kids someday Bebe?”

“The operative word in that sentence is SOMEDAY.  As in not right now!

“Oh my god, my bad Bebe. It’s where my head went, I have three pregnant nurses that report to me. And everyone has baby fever at work."

"He can't even pick me up on time, do you think I'd have a baby with him? Seriously? I would have to murder him the first time he forgot to pick up our child from school."

Liam heard Bebe's reaction but he was glancing at his brother.  Liam winced at the expression on his brother’s face. Leo actually looked hurt.

Maybe Bebe was still feeling some kind of way about earlier, because that was some serious shade she was throwing.  

Leo finished his drink in one long gulp.

"Excuse me for a moment.”  Leo jumped up from the table abruptly walking away.  

“Oh come on! He has no right to be butt hurt, he wasn’t the one  left waiting for me for over an hour.”  

“I mean……”  Liam started to say and then shut his mouth.  Part of the reason Liam shut his mouth was that Bebe wasn’t his friend like that.  Conversations like that, those knowledge bombs, have to be dropped by someone close to you that knows you for you to truly be receptive. He glanced at Jili, and she seemed to know what was on his mind.  She nodded slightly in agreement.

“Bebe, you know you were savage with that comment.”

“Not you too Jili.”  

“Bebe… you know…”

“He forgot me!”

“Did you tell him that?!?!?!? Don’t do the passive aggressive anger thing with him.  Well maybe not so passive. If you have a problem you talk about it, you don’t air it like that, Bebe with someone you care about, and you care about Leo right?”

Jili was completely right and Bebe knew it.

“Things weren’t supposed to be this complicated!”  Bebe got up looking for Leo.

“Are we couples counselors now?”  Kind of feels like we are.”  

“They’re definitely a couple.  They weren’t before, but they are now.”  

“Awwwe, we witnessed their first fight. Our little babies are growing up.”  

Liam chuckled at Jili.  “You’re so silly.  He does like her, but he’s not been in a relationship like this before.  He’s never had to think of anyone but himself.  But enough about them. Let’s talk about us.”  

He slipped his arms around Jilian, nipping her neck.

“Mmmmm…. I already like where this is going Mr. Rys.”  

"I just want you to know how much I care about you Jilian. I……. love you Jilian.” 

Jili’s eyes widened, and Liam wiped the tears that fell from her cheeks.

“I love you Liam. I'm so glad we found each other."

"Me too." He pulled Jili close and he rested his forehead on hers .

Outside the restaurant

“Oh come on!  You’re really mad at me?  You’re mad at me?” Bebe's voice dripped in sarcasm and surprise.

“I asked you if you would forgive me and you said yes. I thought it was over and done with.”

“Um you can forgive someone and still be mad.”  Bebe raised her voice.

“NO YOU CAN’T!! That means you don’t forgive them Bebe if you’re still mad!”  His voice raised as loud as hers.  

Leo took a deep breath, calming himself and trying to lower his voice.  "We could always talk about anything under the sun.  Being together shouldn’t change that.  Bee.. talk to me.”

“You forgot me Leo…..You forgot me...”

He had never heard her voice sound so small and vulnerable with him. He realized this was not about him and her, but something so much bigger. He rushed to her.

“Bee, I’m so sorry. I promise you it wasn't on purpose. I care about you.”

“I didn’t have the best family growing up.  I feel like I’ve spent my whole life waiting for things…. People…. And everybody always let me down.”  

He listened to Bebe talk for a few minutes about her past.  When she finally was silent again, Leo was shocked.  

“I’m so sorry I  brought up these past feelings you were trying so hard to forget. You can still be mad at me if you want.  I can take it.  If you need to take your frustrations out on me behind closed doors in the bedroom tonight, I volunteer as tribute.”

She playfully hit him, and a little smile quirked on her lips.

“There’s that smile I love.  I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

He stared at her hesitantly.

"I mean it.”  

She puckered her lips.  

“Let’s kiss and make up.”  

She pulled Leo close and planted a kiss on his lips.  

Can we go eat food now?”  

“Yes, let’s go eat food now.”  

They joined Liam and Jili back in the restaurant Leo and Bebe shared the news of their budding relationship to ears that already knew they were a thing.  It was their first time double dating as two couples, and after the tough part of the evening, there was nothing but clear sailing.  It looked like all involved truly cared about their partners.

The Next Morning

Leo took Bebe to work as planned, and showed back up around lunchtime with her vehicle and flowers

and lunch from their favorite Chinese food spot.

Bebe smiled as she put the vase of flowers on her desk at work. She was the envy  of all her coworkers.  One of the things she had waited for, seeing her coworkers get flowers from their significant others, when she never got any.  Finally, it was Bebe's turn.

Riley and Jason -- that next afternoon

“Riley I wish you would think this through a little more.  Donovan shouldn’t be expecting you to do this for him.”  

“Dad I’ve had plenty of time to think about it.  I love Von and I want to be there for him.”

“Jelly, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice yourself for who you want to become for someone.  Your mother and I didn’t.  That’s what you’re doing Baby Girl. You deserve so much more than this for yourself.”

“Please don’t do this our last few minutes together, Dad.”

“I just don’t want you to make a mistake you will regret. You don’t have to get on that plane.”

“But that’s part of life Dad. Life isn’t perfect, if this is a mistake, it’s my choice to make, and I’ll learn from it.  That’s what you taught us to do Daddy.”  

“I just want to protect you Jelly Bean from all the hurt and all the pain in the world.  I would die before I let something happen to you.”  

“Dad….”  Tears filled her eyes because she believed her father.  He had always tried to keep them safe from day one.

Riley hugged her father burying her face in his shirt.  

“It’s true.  You, your sister and your brother, are my whole world. We were lucky to have Jaiden, and we were even blessed when we got the call about two little identical twin baby girls that needed a home. It was the best decision me and your Momma ever made.  Even though I don’t approve of what you’re doing right now, if you need us, call us.”  

“I will Daddy, I promise.”  

Her father pulled her into one last  tight embrace.  

They both looked up when they heard  the boarding call for the first leg of her flight that would land her in Denver, CO for a 2 hour layover with her final destination being LAX.  

“I gotta go.”  He released Riley from their embrace, and tears filled his eyes as he watched her walk away from him. But before she was out of sight she stopped and turned and gave him a little wave.

Jason smiled and waved back to Riley.  After a few moments she turned and walked out of sight.

Riley Brooks had locked in her destiny.  She was headed to California, and in several years time, after experiencing some trials, tribulations, and significant heartbreak, she would finally meet the true love of her life, her soulmate, Liam Rys.  

THIS WAS NOT A MISTAKE.

A/N:  Thank you @queenjilian​ I know this series is near and dear to your heart as Greek Meat started out as your birthday fic, so thank you for the hilarious idea of what happens to Bebe, the first time she asks Leo to do something important for her.  

They weren’t ‘just friends.’

Bebe was still sound asleep next to him when his watch vibrated.  Leo quickly shut it off, glancing at her.  Even with the supersonic bat hearing she proclaimed to have, and she truly did,  she stirred for a few moments from the sound.  

Leo continued lying still a few minutes longer for good measure, as her body slowly relaxed and she started falling back to sleep.  When he was sure Bebe was completely out like a light again,  he quietly hopped out of bed, slipped on his robe, and gently pulled her bedroom door closed behind him, heading to the kitchen.  

Liam always made breakfast for them when Bebe stayed over, and  Bebe always cooked for him when he was there. Leo wanted to surprise her, since her birthday was just yesterday; in his mind, they were still celebrating.  He opened her fridge, taking stock of  what she had so that he could cook.

He grabbed the sausage links, eggs, butter, milk, and bread, and fresh potatoes. He also grabbed the cinnamon from her spice rack.

He had never done something like this for a woman before, but Bebe was different for him.  She was unlike any woman he had spent time with before. She was funny and sarcastic, and a little bit mean. To be honest, there were times she got on his nerves,

 but he loved every second of it.

Leo busied himself in her kitchen, first chopping the potatoes and onion to make hash browns. Everything else came together quickly.  When breakfast was almost ready and Leo was setting the table, Bebe walked out of the bedroom.

"Go back to bed for a bit Bee, breakfast isn't quite ready yet."

"You're cooking for me?"

Leo started to blush. "It's just breakfast, and besides we're still celebrating your birthday. I'm not done yet, so let me finish okay?"

Bebe's lips flit into a small smile.

"Alright."

"Was it the scent of coffee brewing that woke you up?"

She smiled and nodded.

"Back to bed you caffeine addict."

Bebe laid back down, but she couldn't fall back asleep.

When her door opened again, she quickly shut her eyes; Leo smiled as he walked in. He knew she wasn't asleep. He knew every inch of her body and  how Bebe looked when she slept. She was faking sleep, but he would let her have this one.

"Bee… wake up." He whispered as he softly stroked her cheek.

Her eyes fluttered open, meeting his.

Damn she's good, he thought...And the Oscar goes to…. 

Focus Leo!!!!

"Breakfast is ready."

They walked into the kitchen in their matching robes.  Bebe was surprised by the table; there were even flowers as a little centerpiece.

"Leo… this is so much…"

"Why do you act like you're not worth it? Because you are."

There was a goofy little smile on Bebe’s face, when her eyes met his.  He liked seeing her a little awkward the way she was in that moment together, not knowing what to say.  Bebe, though strong-willed, let him take the lead.  

“Let’s eat breakfast.”  He took Bebe’s hand pulling her over to the table.

He made her coffee  how she liked it, with a splash of coffee and a bunch of cream and sugar.  

“I really don’t think it’s the caffeine helping you at this point.  I think it’s the diabetic sugar rush.”  

“It might be.”  She smiled while sipping her coffee as he set the plate of food in front of her.  

“Not half bad for the brother who isn’t a chef right?”  

“Not bad at all.”

“What time do you have to be at work?”  

“I’m not today, I’m totally calling out with a 24 hour case of death or something.”  

“So I get to hang out the day with you then?”  

“If you’d like?”

“As long as after this breakfast we wind back up in bed for a bit.”

“Um you have to wait at least 30 minutes before you go back to bed after eating.”  

“Says who? I’m pretty sure you’re confusing food and swimming.”

“Maybe you’re right.”  

After breakfast they were laying in bed together  when Bebe got a text.

“We’re laying next to each other Leo, and you’re texting me?”  

“Read it.”  

Bebe glanced down at her phone.  It was just one sentence.

‘Will you be my girlfriend?’

She turned over to face him.  

“Are you serious?”

“I like what we have together, Bee.  I think it’s special.  I know that I don’t want you to be with anyone else, because I want you to be with me.  And I think you feel the same way too. So what do you think?”

“Yes, I’ll be your girlfriend.”  

Leo smiled at her.  “ I told you, I get what I want Bee. Remember what you said when we first met? Let me refresh your memory.   “This is never going to happen, Leo Rys.”  

“I’m sorry, I thought you wanted a girlfriend?  Maybe I was mistaken.  Cuz, this isn’t how you keep one.”

Leo laughed.  

He grabbed Bebe in bed, tickling her.  Bebe screeched, trying to push him away. 

“You said yes, you can’t change your mind now!!  You said yes dammit.”  

"Okay already I said yes!"

Their rest of their first day as a couple was a blur, a happy blur.

Friday

"Thank you Leo."  

"Bee, you don't have to thank me for this. That's what a boyfriend does."

He opened the door to his SUV letting her in.  He had said the ‘b’ word. Leo had asked her on the weekend of her birthday to be her boyfriend, and she had accepted.  He was doing a helpful task for her.  Bebe had to drop her car off at the mechanic, and Leo was taking her to work, and would pick her up later to get her vehicle.

“So what are you going to do for lunch?”

“We’re having a santyl inservice, a working lunch.  The one good thing about santyl drug reps is, they always bring us Alpaca.  

So I’ll eat well while I look at horrible wounds on a slide show.”

“And that doesn’t bother you?”  

“Nope, as a pharmacist there have been times I have been lucky to even get lunch. You think a wound needing debriding is going to keep me from getting my eat on?”

“No?”  

“You damn right it’s a no.”

Leo changed the subject, and his fingertips softly grazed her leg; her hand quickly found his squeezing it tight.

“So we’re going to tell Liam and Jili about us tonight at dinner?”  

“Yes.  I think they will be happy.”  

“I think so too.”  

He leaned in to kiss her, and they kissed passionately for a few moments.  When Bebe pulled away, she noticed several of her coworkers were walking by.  

“You know this makes me gossip today at work.”

“Don’t make me give them something to really talk about; the fantasies I have had with you, just in that little white coat. Girl....”

“I get off at 5 today okay?”  

“Yep, I know.”

As soon as Bebe had gotten inside the pharmacy to her desk, armed with her first cup of ‘work coffee’  one of her coworkers who had seen her outside with Leo trickled over to her desk.    

“I didn’t know you were seeing anyone Bebe.”  

“I try to keep my work and private life separate.”  

“Good for you.”  

Bebe popped in her ear buds, meaning the conversation was over,  and logged into the computer system and plugged away on her day.

Lunch time meant the inservice and a few texts from Leo. She sent a few selfies of herself at the in service with her plate of food and a picture of the screen she was watching.  

Leo gagged. Debriding a wound looked horrible, no wonder Bebe didn’t mind gore in movies.  

Finally it was time for Bebe to leave.  She went out to the parking lot to find Leo not there.  She glanced at the time.  It was only 5:02, he was probably stuck at the stupid light.  It got her all the time, and especially in rush hour.  

She sat on the bench outside her job and there they were again, her coworkers that saw her come in,  were leaving too.  

“It’s everything alright?”

“Yeah everything’s fine,  just waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up.”  

“Probably stuck at the light.”

"Exactly."

At 5:15pm, Bebe decided to call Leo.  His phone went to voicemail.   She texted him.

‘Is everything okay Leo?  You’re supposed to be here right now to pick me up.’

She got no response.  Leo usually texted back immediately when she sent him a message, which started to worry her.

Meanwhile…..

Leo was completely engrossed in the documentary he was watching on television.  Leo was not 420 friendly but had friends who were, and was watching “The History of Weed.”  

Liam and Jili came in saying hello, and he could vaguely hear them talking in the background.  Their conversation didn't pique his interest until he heard Bebe’s name mentioned by Jili.

“I really thought Bebe would be off work by now. I thought she was on the early shift this week.”  

Leo glanced at his watch.  It was 5:58PM.

“SHIT!!!! He screamed.  “BEBE!!!!”  

Leo jumped off the couch quickly putting his shoes on.

“What’s wrong?”  Jili asked.

“I was supposed to pick her up at 5!”  

Leo ran out the door, driving like a complete maniac.   And of all the times to get pulled over……

“License and registration?”

Leo quickly pulled out his credentials.

“Leonardo, Is there a reason for you to be driving so aggressively in rush hour traffic?”  

“My girlfriend, I was supposed to pick her up at five. I forgot and she’s going to murder me when she sees me.  So you might get a call in a few more minutes from down the street when I finally get to her job.”  

The young officer who had a stern face, of all things smiled.  

“You’re in hot water then?”  

 “Up to my nose.”  

“I’m going to give you a break today.  Slow down.”  

“Thank you Officer Kar…..”

“Karahalios.  Officer KH.”  

“I owe you one. Thanks Officer KH.”  

Officer KH handed him back his credentials.  “You’re welcome.”

Leo drove the speed limit the rest of the way to Bebe’s job. Pulling into the parking lot, she was sitting on the bench out front.   She had what looked like a pamphlet in her hand fanning herself, beads of perspiration running down her face.  

“Bee, I’m so sorry.”

“Where were you?”

“At home. I lost track of time.”  

“I was worried. You always respond immediately when I text or call.”    

He noticed not all the wetness on her face was from perspiration, some was from tears.    

He hugged her.  “I’m so sorry Bee.”

“I thought something bad had happened to you.”  

It’s definitely…...interesting having someone care about him this way.  

Leo felt horrible.  He was a bad boyfriend right out the gate.  The first time Bebe needed something from him, he failed.  The look on her face screamed disappointment when she realized he had forgotten her.

He turned the air on high to cool her off.

“Why didn’t you go back inside and wait, so you could stay cool?”

“My job is like the vortex, if you walk back in, you get sucked back in.”  

Leo fished napkins out of his console to give to Bebe, which she took, dabbing her face, sighing softly.  

“Let’s get your car.”

“Mechanic had to close early. I have to be at work too early tomorrow before they open, to pick it up.”

“I’ll take you to work tomorrow, and I’ll pick your car up for you, and bring it to you Bebe.”  

“But you’ll have to pay for the repairs?”  

“I don’t care Bee. I’ll never let you down again. Am I still your boyfriend?”

She nodded.

Leo was determined  from that moment on, to be the perfect boyfriend for her.

And Then...There Were Two.

This is the first Chapter of The Meet.  I have already created a masterlist for it.  Feel free to check it out here:  The Meet

The plan for this series is to be a prequel to Greek Meat, as I really want to do something every special with these  two installments.

Original Post Date:  04/19/21 at 7:25PM EST.

The Book:  TRR  (No royals) x Open Heart  (Bryce)  Pairing:  Liam x ?    Word Count: 2623 Warnings and Ratings:  Profanity, sexual innuendos./ Teen

Summary: Jilian and Bebe’s attend a wedding for their friend.  Liam meets Jilian and Bebe for the first time.

I also used @theworldofprompts​ prompt:  I’ll have nothing to do with that please. Too late, I already signed you up.”  will appear in bold.

Liam , Rashad, and Bryce belong to Pixelberry. Jilian belongs to @queenjilian​ borrowed with love, for the duration of this series, and Robin belongs to @dcbbw​  All others are my own characters to tell the story.

Song Inspiration for this episode:  Ridin’ Solo by Jason Derulo

I don’t own rights to the music.

Jilian and Bebe watched their friend Robin get married. Robin was the one that said she would never get married because she liked her independence, and claimed every man she knew drove her so crazy she would take a straight razor to them.  

"She looks so happy, Jili."

"Yeah, Rashad is the first man Robin hasn't wanted to take a straight razor to, ironically."

“I want to feel like that about someone."

"You WANT to take a straight razor to someone?"

"You know what I meant Jili!!!"

Jili chuckled and wrapped an arm around her friend. "We will one day. I'm sure we will."

Jili watched them dancing in silence. And then there were two she thought.

"Glad my plus one likes to drink, buy you a drink?"

"Hooker, it's an open bar!"

Jili and Bebe kicked off their shoes, grabbed drinks and ran out to the dance floor.

As Jili and Bebe danced, Jili kept seeing Bebe’s eyes drifting over to one of the groomsmen at the bar.  

“You know Beebs just because it’s a wedding doesn’t make us cliches. Being bridesmaids doesn’t mean we HAVE to hook up with the groomsmen.”  

“But that makes this train wreck of love and happiness that much more tolerable having hot sex with some cute guy that looks good as hell in a tux, because let’s face it he does.”

“Bebe, I just can't with you.”

“And he’s smiling back, looks like I’m going to make a mistake tonight, a sexy mistake I'd love to make all night long.”

Bebe downed her drink in one swallow.

"I'm going in! Wish me luck!"

Jili shook her head laughing, as her friend  adjusted her breasts in the matching bridesmaids dresses they were wearing and walked over to the bar.

When she had ordered another drink, she glanced at the cute guy nonchalantly. 

He was watching her too.  

There was a faint buzz.  

“Dr. Lahela here….”  

She tried not to listen as he rattled off medical terms and medications.  

“I was about to say hello when my phone rang.  Sorry about that.”

“So you’re a doctor?”

“I’m a surgeon.  These babies are magical.”  He held out his hands, wiggling his fingers.

Bebe chuckled at his dramatic display.

“Mmmhum.  Magical hands?  That remains to be seen.”

The handsome stranger stood, holding his hand out for her.

“Follow me.”  

She raised her eyebrow to him.

“Um… stranger danger. I don’t know you.”

“I’m Bryce and you’re Bebe, and you’re also not five, I'm not going to kidnap you.”

He winked at Bebe.  “You can trust me.”  

“So where are you taking me?”  

“Over to the piano.”  

Bryce cracked his knuckles shaking out his hands in a dramatic fashion before he placed them on the keys and started to play…. Heart and Soul.

Bebe laughed.  “I can help you out there with your magical fingers.”  

Bebe started to play along.  

“I did not know you were also a piano playing virtuoso.”

“Oh is that what playing piano on a second grade level is called now, Dr. Magical Hands? So tell me is there a picture of your face on your ID badge, or one of your hands or better yet both hands?”

Bryce laughed out loud looking at her, his eyes catching hers.

“I’m only here for the weekend.”  

“Then let’s make it a great weekend then. No regrets right?”  

“No regrets Bebe.”  

There were definitely no regrets  in the pool house at Prestonwoods, and there definitely were no regrets twice that night at the Umstead, and once early Sunday morning .  

When Bebe woke, he was almost completely dressed.

"Good morning," Bryce smiled at her.

"Hey."

"I tried not to wake you."

"Oh." Bebe commented leaving her face as emotionless as possible.

"No, not like that, I wasn't planning on sneaking out on you."

There was a knock to the door.

"I thought we would have breakfast before I have to leave."

Bebe didn't mean to smile. Bryce noticed.

"Not the player you portray yourself to be… I know me either."  She saw his cheeks redden a bit.

Bryce was really sweet. They talked and ate breakfast together.

After breakfast Bryce continued to pack. Bebe took it as her cue to prepare for her walk of shame in her bridesmaid dress.  Where the hell was her dress?

"Do you have somewhere to be?"

"No?"

"Checkout isn't until 11, so enjoy this place, at least someone should get my money's worth, and one of us should get to sleep in a bit after we kept each other up all night.”

Bebe curled back up in bed, but kept talking to Bryce as he continued to get ready.  When she heard the zip of his bag, she sat up.  He walked over to her sitting on the bed.

“I thought you would find this funny.”  

He held out his Edenbrook ID badge.

“Well I’ll be damned!  It actually IS your face on your ID badge and not your hands.”  

Bryce laughed loudly, for a few moments, then his face turned serious while he looked at her.

“Bebe…..”

“Don’t ruin it by getting all sappy and sentimental. You know we’re both playas.  Don’t hate the playa, hate the game Dawg.”  

His smile returned.

He kissed her cheek.

“You really are something else. Take care Bebe.”

“You too, Bryce.”  

Jili didn't see Bebe until Thursday of the following week. She noticed her friend seemed a little more quiet than normal. She knew deep down her friend was looking for forever, but kept settling for tonight, to not be alone. Bebe wasn't afraid to kiss the frogs, hoping to find her prince. Bebe hadn't given up on love, even though she thought it had given up on her.

“Bryce seemed nice Bebe.”  

“Yeah he was.”    She remembered him softly kissing her cheek before he left.

“Maybe if he lived here, things could have been different.”

“Yeah, maybe.”  

She glanced down at her phone, seeing a few texts from Bryce, he had said something very similar.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* two weeks later *^*^*^*^*^*^*

“So is it just us again tonight?”  

“Yeah Robin is busy. We can’t expect her to just ditch her husband to have dinner and drinks with the girls.”  

“Um yes we can,  sistas before mistas, and we were Robin’s sistas first, and he knew before he married her we were a package deal, and this is how we roll.”  

“Bee, you know things change when you get married, it happened with everyone else.”  

“Wouldn’t know, we’ve both officially avoided our first marriages and divorces because of our age.”  

“So then our second, first marriages will be the ones that last.”  

Jili linked her arm with Bebe.  

“I promise single or not, married or not, I’ll always make time for you.”  

“I promise to do the same Jili.”  

“So starting next week let’s start a new tradition Bebe.   I know that the Ruby has been our spot forever, but let’s become foodies and just pick random spots and holes in the wall to have our girl’s night out, and really explore our area.  Let’s step out of our comfort zones and try some different things.”

“I’m in.”      

So each week, Jili and Bebe decided on a new place to try in the area.  Week Three brought them to a new place that had just opened up two weeks ago called Kulture Shox’d.  

“Clothing that will show up glowing under black light is  strongly encouraged?  This is probably the most ‘interesting’ place we’ve picked.”

“And there is a prize weekly.  The couple or table with the most standout outfits on theme get a special dinner made for them in the private dining room made by the personal head chef himself.”  

“Seems kind of gimmicky, don’t you think?” Jili wasn’t sold on the idea.

"And?"

"I'll have nothing to do with that please." "Too late, I signed you up."

Bebe was already talking to her phone.

"You did?!?!"

"Metaphorically speaking yes! We said we were gonna get out of our comfort zones, Jili. Let's try something different and get the full experience of the night there. Never know what could happen."

Jilian still looked weary.

Bebe took Jili's silence as a green light.

"Show me some black light outfits.”  Bebe was already figuring out what she….. correction… they were going to be wearing to dinner.  

"Hey! I didn't say I would…"

“You have to let me do this.  Let me dress us, so we can win. Please Jili, extreme makeovers are where I shine.”  

"Okay, let's do it."

Bebe squealed in delight.  She dressed the two for the night.

Jili laughed.  “Um 1987 called us and they want their bangles and hair clips back.”  

“We’re gonna look crazy awesome in the black lights. Jili I’m actually really excited about this.”

They took a rideshare over to the restaurant downtown.

They walked into the restaurant.  

“Good evening ladies. Looks like you are participating in our contest.”  

“Hell yes we are, and we’re going to win it.”

“I hear ya!  It will be a few minutes before your table is ready.”  

The restaurant was really quirky and eclectic.  The music playing and a very urban and uptempo beat.

“I really like the vibe here.”  Jili commented.

A waitress walked by carrying a pink smoking drink.  

“I want one of those.”  

They were finally to their table and were able to order drinks.

“I want one of those pink smoky drinks.”

“Each drink in our smoke line has a different flavor profile, which one would you like?”

“Pink alcohol?”

The waitress explained each flavor profile of the smoke cocktails line then looked at Bebe expectantly.

“Yeah….I still want Pink.”

“And I want Orange.”  

The restaurant was packed. The waitress came back with their drinks rather quickly pouring the last element into their drinks causing them to smoke.  

Bebe and Jili clinked glasses and took a sip of their cocktails.

Both nodded at each other and the waitress. 

“Glad you like them!  I’ll be back in a few we have our nightly announcement to make.”  

“Thank you for all the participants in our weekly “You lite the night and get Kulture Shox’d Challenge.  Our winners of this week’s costume contest are Jili and Bebe! Come up and take a bow ladies!”

“Told you we’d win Jili!”  Bebe ran up to the front followed by Jili, the cheers and applause rang through the restaurant.

“Grab your drinks, we’re taking you into our private dining area”.  

The private dining area was just as interesting as the rest of the building. It had a bubbling colored fountain in the center.   The music wasn’t as hype as the main dining hall, it had a very seductive vibe.

“Wait right here, the main chef will be coming in a few to take your picture and talk about the special menu for tonight.”  

The cook switched his uniform to his black light appropriate uniform that  he would take pictures with tonight’s winners in.  

He walked in seeing them for the first time.  

“We’ll take our black light pictures first.”  He stood between the two women and put his arms around both women, just barely touching him, out of respect.

The lights in the dining room came up to normal lighting.  Finally they could see their chef in real lighting, and he was cute.  

“Good evening ladies.  I’m your chef for the evening, Liam Rys.”

"I'm Jilian, and this is my best friend Bebe."

Bebe noticed right away the way Jili stared at Liam, but Liam was giving off sparks as well.

When the pictures were done, Bebe went back to the table leaving Jili with Liam.

"So the whole Black Light thing is an interesting concept.  I mean even your uniform seems rather…"

"Like a gimmick right?"

"Exactly!"

He looked over Jilian.

"If this seems so gimmicky to you…then… it was your friend that helped pick your outfit."

They both glanced across the room  Bebe was polishing off her first pink smoke drink.

"Yes. You're exactly right Liam. This place was her idea."

Liam showed her his true thoughts on the subject.

He was not a fan of this clearly.

"I have to change into this uniform just to meet the winners to take pictures."

"To be sure you do not cook in black light do you?"

Liam laughed. "Of course not. I mean it's a complete and total gimmick to get people in the door. I think it takes away from the food which I think is pretty great, not only because I am one of the lead cooks."

"Garcon! Might you be able to procure my friend and myself two more flaming fire drinks?"

Liam laughed. "And your friend thinks I'm the waiter."

"Bebe exaggerates a lot when she's a little lit. It's part of her charm."

"I'm curious to know what's part of your charm, Jilian?"

She glanced at the handsome chef. Was he flirting with her?

"But only for you would I go back to my bartender days and get you two beautiful ladies more drinks."

He winked at Jilian.

"I'll be right back."

In a few minutes Liam came back, with two new drinks for them.

"Jilian you look woman of exquisite taste.  I am going to make you a dish with you in mind."

"Is this dish free?" Bebe inquired, raising her eyebrow.

"Actually it is. It is not even on the menu here. It's inspired by your beautiful friend Jilian. Let me get to it. I'll be back shortly ladies."

As soon as Liam left the room Bebe smiled.

"Girl!!! Our waiter is hitting on you! He could serve me a meal anytime!"

"Bebe he's not a waiter, he's a chef."

"Poe-tae-to , Poe-taa-toe. We'll see who brings us our meals."

Liam brought out  the appetizers first.

Bebe gave Jili a look.  

After they were done with the amazing appetizers, Liam brought out an amazing meal.

He watched the ladies take their first bites of the specially prepared meal for them.

People happy and content with what he prepared was always a look Liam truly enjoyed seeing on people’s faces.

Bebe watched her friend closely every time Liam came back into the room, the way they looked at each other.  Neither had made a move yet, and time was running out.

When it was time to go, neither had done anything, and Bebe decided to take matters into her own hands.

"I left you a tip under my plate Liam."

"That really wasn't necessary Bebe."

"No really you'll want this."

"Well thank you. Have a good night ladies."

When Liam lifted Bebe's plate, he smiled.

Jili and Bebe got in their ride share.

"I can't believe you left him a tip Bebe. He's a chef not a waiter."

"Oh I didn't leave him a tip."

"But you said…"

"I left my phone number."

"Oh! I didn't know you were even interested in him."

Liam read the note and smiled.

'I see you staring at her Liam.  And because I'm the best wing woman in the world, and neither of you made a move, I'm making one for the two of you. Girl code says I can't give my bestie’s number out. So if you're interested in her, text me.

Bebe's phone buzzed.

She glanced down at her phone and smiled.

"He didn't waste any time."

"He's already texting you?"

Wow.. Jilian was surprised; she had read that one completely wrong. Liam and Bebe didn't seem to have any chemistry at all from what she could tell.

Bebe held out her phone so Jili could see her message.

"Thank you Bebe. This is Liam. Yes, I am very interested in Jilian."

"Oh come on! Did you really think one drink would get me lit?!?  And calling him a waiter all night was just fun. I was calling him a waiter, because I was WAITING for his ass all night to make a move on you."

Sistas From Anotha Mista

Original Post Date:  06/05/21 at 10:10PM EST

I am participating in @wackydrabbles​​ prompt # 97: “Did you read it?”  will be in bold.

Song Inspiration for this Episode: 

*ICK In A Box : The Lonely Island

Jaws Theme Song:  J. Williams

I don’t own rights to the music.   You’ll see how they fit in.  #she didn’t see it coming

“Reunited and it feels soooo good!!!!”  Robin held up her glass  clinking it with Bebe and Jili.

“We missed you Robin, it hasn’t been the same.” Jili smiled at Robin.

“But you know we know how to keep the party going.”  Bebe’s voice was nonchalant.  

“Damn, missed you too Bebe. No one does, I don’t care, but I really do care a lot like you Bee.”  

Jili raised her eyebrow.

“Huh.  It’s funny you mentioned that Robin, because Bebe’s currently in this thing….”

Bebe interrupted her.

“Enough about me, let’s hear about you.  How’s married life Robin? Any talks of a little Rashad or little Robin in the future?”  

“We’re honestly playing that by ear.  Not stressing ourselves out about it.  Well it’s not like I expected.  First, I haven’t killed him yet.  It was an adjustment, I won’t lie.  I went from living on my own to living with someone.  Someone who doesn’t exactly put things where I think they logically should go.    Have I wanted to cut him? Yes. Have I gone through with it?  Nope.”  

Bebe and Jili laughed.

“But it’s different you know? He’s my rock and my support system.   I had a really shitty day at work the other day.  He had a glass of wine and an aromatherapy  bubble bath waiting for me.  

Yes grand gestures are fantastic and all, but the devil is in the details.  The little things are most important.  Like, something as simple as making sure I don’t run out of my favorite coffee creamer. For our anniversary he made breakfast in bed.  Our two month anniversary.  I didn’t even know there was such a creature!!!”

As Robin talked both Bebe and Jili listened intently to her.  They were so happy that their friend was so content in her marriage.  Both had liked Rashad from the moment they met him, even though Robin wasn’t sold on the idea of him then.  

“That’s exactly what I want.”  Jilian whispered in awe.

Both of them did.  Jilian was a lot closer to the possibility of having it.

“It’s going to happen.  I know it.  I know it’s cliche and corny and Bebe, I know you’re going to roll your eyes when I say it.  I wasn’t looking for him and he found me.”  

Over the night they spent catching up on life and love with their bestie.

“I’ll make more time. I really missed the two of you.  It’s not the same.  Yes I love Rashad, but I love having my girl time with the two of you.”  

They pulled each other in a hug, and continued laughing and drinking.  

Bebe glanced down at her phone. Her eyes widened at the emojis on the text.  

‘💋 + 🍒 + 😋 +🍆 +😵 × 😚+😋 + 🍩 x 🥨 + 🍆 +🍩= get your ass over here now Bee.’

“I’m sorry guys I have to go.”

Bebe quickly hugged both women and was gone within a minute flat.  

“Geez, what got into her?”  

“More like who.  And his name is Leo Rys.”

“You know,  you thought you were being cute buying me a robe like yours for my place.   This is legit the best gift ever.”

Leo answered the door in her robe.    

“Are you freeballin’ right now Leo?”  

“Hell yes I am, and you have too much clothes on.  Not that i’m arguing about that dress, and those heels. Damn.  Where were you before you came here?”

“A hot date.”

Leo smirked.

“Apparently, not that hot, because he couldn’t close, because you’re here with me. I call you on your bullshit.  Where were you really?”

“Dinner with the girls.”  

He smiled.

“Girl’s night. You look beautiful Bee.”  

"Thanks. Now I’m ready for dessert.”

Bebe followed Leo to his bedroom.  

The next morning Bebe was up early, as usual.

“Hey go back to sleep for a bit.  I got you a few things here for you so you don’t have to get up yet.”  

“What things?”

“Stuff I’ve seen at your place. Shower gel, toothpaste, you know stuff.  So you can shower  here if you want.  Maybe you could leave a few things here.  I mean we see each other a lot.”  

He couldn’t read Bebe’s face to know what she was thinking.

“That’s not weird is it?  I think it makes sense.  You have to be up earlier for work than I usually do.  You should bring a few things over, to keep here.”

“It’s actually nice. A little creepy though that you were snooping around my things but there’s that.”  

“Um, and for the record.  I’ve been all up in your “things,”  and from what I can tell you like it when I’m all up in there.”  

Bebe laughed.  

"I'll wake you up in another hour."

She snuggled back into bed, and Leo woke her as promised.

“I know how you feel about pink.  There’s a pink towel set in there for you too.”  

Bebe walked into the bathroom she had been in many times. In the midst of all Leo's stuff, she saw the little hints of the stuff he had gotten for her.  There were hints a woman was around. Her.

Bebe caught her reflection, a dopey grin was on her face. Were they really a thing? Could she….did she feel that way about Leo? Could they really be more?

Maybe she and Leo should really try to give whatever this was a go.  

It was nice to not be in such a rush after spending the night.  

She rinsed the shampoo out of her hair, contentedly sighing, oblivious to what was about to happen.

Bebe was caught by surprise when Leo jerked back the shower curtain.

Author's Note: Cue the Jaws Theme.

"Jesus Christ Leo!"

He smiled at her.

"Why do you have….."

He smirked.

Leo was pointing a water gun at her, then he shot her with it.

The water was ice cold. Bebe cringed as the cold water hit her body.

"LEO!!!!!"

Bebe was screaming bloody murder trying to grab the shower curtain  to shield her from the spray of ice cold water.

Leo was laughing maniacally as  Bebe slipped, and accidentally ripped down the shower curtain, in an effort to shield herself from the frigid cold water,  falling to the floor pulling him down to the floor with her.

Liam burst into the bathroom.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE?!?!?"

It was quite the scene. The bathroom was a mess. Bebe and Leo were on the floor dripping wet. Bebe was wrapped up in the shower curtain. A super soaker water gun was on the floor filled with ice and water.

Jilian peeked her head around Liam to see the bathroom scene.

Jili laughed.

"Leo, you play too much!”

Bebe punched him hard.  

“Whaaat it was funny!!!!”  You should have seen your face.”

“Just so you know, I’m not buying you another shower curtain, this was completely your fault Leo.”

Liam shook his head at them closing the door.  

"Usually there are other sounds I wake up to." Liam pulled Jili back into the bedroom with him.

Breakfast was interesting.  It was the first time, both ‘couples’ were present to have breakfast together, at Liam and Leo's apartment .

“Nothing like getting woken up by what sounds like a murder.”  Liam responded glancing over at Leo and Bebe.  

“I’m sorry your idiot brother likes to play crazy games.”

“You know, I'm sitting right here Bebe.”

“I. DON’T. CARE. You're still an idiot."

He playfully hit Bebe. "It was funny Bee."

She hit him back. "Don't touch me."

Leo leaned into her, his finger barely an inch from her face. She ignored him talking to Jili. Leo persisted on.

Bebe grabbed his finger twisting it.

“OWWWWW!!! THAT HURTS!!!!!”

"GOOD! IT WAS SUPPOSED TO!!!!!  LEO SO HELP ME GOD!!!!!"

"I WASN'T TOUCHING YOU!!!!!!"

"My God! Do I need to separate you two?!?!?!" Liam screamed at them.

"You guys are like two kids on the playground that like each other!" Jilian raised her eyebrow at them.

"After breakfast let's go to yoga and take a walk together."

Jili smiled as Liam kissed her cheek.

"I love that idea." Jilian whispered.

It wasn't Couples' yoga but they both enjoyed being near each other the same.

After yoga, they decided to take a nice leisurely stroll into downtown Raleigh. Liam took his cues from Jili as to what places they window shopped in.

They heard the music from a distance.

"Oh we have to stop and listen a bit!"

They continued walking up to the performers where Jili swayed to the beat of the music.

Liam pulled Jili close to him dancing with her. Their eyes met both smiled at each other.

"A song for the lovers Von!"

Someone screamed from the crowd.

It felt like the world stood still in those moments that Jilian and Liam were dancing.

When the song was over, they clapped for him. Liam did a piercing whistle and dropped money in his case.

"Thanks man!"

"Liam Rys."

"Von Jacobs."

They shook hands as Jili dropped money in his case, and they went on their way exploring downtown together.

*×*×*×*×*×* three months later *×*×*×*×*×*

"Did you read it?"

"Yeah I did. It sounds like it would be an amazing time Jilian. Minus the whole comic con thing."

"Minor snafu. But it's a late present for Bebe's birthday. But she'll get to meet Christopher Pine.  Do you want to go?”

“Yes, I've never been to LA before."

"What's Leo doing with her tonight?"

"I'm not seeing her tonight."

"It's her birthday, Leo."

The color drained from Leo's face.

"What?"

Leo grabbed Liam and pulled him away from her.

Bebe had just finished a nice relaxing bubble bath when she heard a series of knocks on her door.

Leo stood there in a black suit with a single red rose.

"Leo what?!?"

"Why didn't you tell me it was your birthday?"

His voice was sad.

"It's not a big deal."

He slid past her walking into her apartment.

"Yes it is. Every birthday is special, and you should celebrate it. No matter what is going on in my life, Bee, I celebrate my birthday.  You never know when it will be your last. And you will celebrate yours too as long as I am around. Now that I know, I'm not going to forget."

"Leo…"

"Go put on a nice dress, we're going out to dinner."

"Where?" There was excitement in her voice.

"Woman! Go put that sexy self in one of those tight ass dresses I like."

Bebe looked at her dresses with a critical eye. She decided to slip into a royal blue dress that had a hint of bling on it, wearing her Louboutin heels with it.

Leo grabbed his heart as she walked out into the living room.

"Damn Bee."

They drove to the restaurant, Bebe's eyes widened when she saw where they were.

"I've always wanted to come here with someone."

"A little birdie told me."

Leo opened the car door for Bebe to get out as they walked towards the building, Leo slipped his hand in hers.

Bebe paused, and smiled at him; her fingers twinning with his.

Maybe that thing that bothered her, really didn't matter.  

Maybe this could work, and Leo looked proud to have her on his arm.

They were immediately seated by the hostess.

"Your server will be right with you."

"Leo, this is amazing."

Their server approached them.

"Good evening, and welcome to The Angus Barn. My name is Riley, and I'll be your server tonight."

Riley made them laugh.  Riley had mentioned she was in her last year of culinary school, and made excellent recommendations for them from the menu.

That evening when they got back to Bebe's apartment, he had one more gift to set up for her.

"You can come in now."

Leo was spread eagle on her bed naked with a present box covering his manly parts.

"Is your dick really in a box?"

"A big ass box! Come here girl!"

The Double Date Mistake?

I am participating in @wackydrabbles​ prompt # 92 “I don’t think that was meant to go there.” will appear in bold.

This is also chapter 2 of The Meet:  To catch up on what you’ve been missing of the Meet so far Please click:  The Meet Masterlist

Original Post Date: 05/01/2021 at 3:15PM

The Book:  TRR

The Pairing:  Liam x F!OC (Liam x Jilian) 

Word Count: 1948

Summary: Jilian goes on a double date with Bebe and meets Leo for the very first time.  Jilian and Bebe share how they first met each other to the guys.  

Warnings: Sexual innuendos.  Profanity.  

Leo and Liam belong to pixelberry, Jilian belongs to @queenjilian borrowed for the duration of this series. All others are my own to help us tell the story.  

“And done. He has your number now Jili. Now fly my little birdies fly.”  

She thought he would text right away but he didn’t.  The whole way to Bebe’s apartment the twenty minute drive Jili’s phone was silent.

Bebe looked at Jili as she glanced at her phone.  What the actual hell?

She texted Jilian.

“Bebe why the hell are you texting me? I’m sitting right next to you?”

“I was just making sure your phone was on.”  

“I mean he’s still working Bebe.  He can’t just drop everything and just start texting away.”

“The hell he can’t. What in the actual fuck is wrong with you bruh?” Bebe grumbled as she angrily typed on her phone.

“Wing Woman are you trying to crash this plane?”

“The mother  hasn’t even taken off yet with you two trying to pilot it. I’m gonna need you to get your life together Jili.”  

The driver pulled to a stop. “Damn I really wanted to see how this turned out.”

Bebe got out of the car in a huff.

“I’ll let you know.”   Jili called out the window to her.

Jilian wasn’t going to let it stress her out.  He was still at work. She knew her job got busy at times, and she couldn’t just sit on her phone and do nothing.  As she was walking up the stairs to scan her door key fob, the phone rang.

It was a local number she didn’t recognize.

“Hello?”

“Jilian. It’s Liam.”

“Hi Liam.”

“I apologize for not texting or calling sooner.  Things got busy at work.”

“Oh I figured that was what happened.”  

"Bebe is something else. I feel a little attacked. I can tell it's from a place of love though."

"She's my best friend Liam. My true sister from another mister."

"So it's safe to assume you are single?" Liam inquired.

"I am, and for you the same?"

"Yes Jilian I am. Is it forward of me to say maybe we can change that for each other. I would really like to see you again. I'm off next Friday would you be free then?"

Jilian sighed.

"Friday is my date night."

"Oh. I just assumed you being single you weren’t seeing anybody even casually."

"With Bebe. We restaurant hop. We're self proclaimed foodies. 

Do you have any friends maybe we could double?”

“My brother, both him and Bebe have big personalities, I think they’d really get along.  Think she would be okay with that?”

“Yeah I think I could convince her.”  

They continued to talk, and about everything under the sun.  Liam was funny and witty and kept her attention.

She began to realize how much she had in common with the charming Liam Rys.  

She had cuddled into her bed under her covers laughing and chatting with him.  She finally rolled over realizing it was almost dawn.

“Oh my God! Is that the sun?!?!?!” she shrieked, surprised into the phone.

“I’m so sorry Jilian I completely lost track of time.”

“I have to go, I have to be at work in forty five minutes!!!”

Jilian said her goodbyes to Liam and hurried to work.  

Right when Jilian was sitting in her office reading over her chart  for her first patient’s checkup, there was a delivery.  

A large coffee drink had been delivered to her with a sweet gooey cinnamon bun.

“Gift for you Jilian Winchester.”  

Liam was really sweet.

She texted him thank you.

He had let her know he had an extra espresso shot added to her coffee.

Liam was a lifesaver.  

*^*^*^*^* The Double Date *^**^*^*^*

When Jili and Bebe got to the restaurant  Liam and Leo were already seated at the table both stood to greet them.  

Liam softly kissed  Jili’s cheek.  

Bebe glanced at Leo.  He was cute, but he was probably about five inches shorter than Bebe, not to mention Bebe was wearing heels making her tower over Leo.

Liam changed the subject breaking the ice between everyone, and the conversation between the couples started flowing.  

Jilian slipped in the subject of Liam and Leo honestly not looking much like each other.  

“We’re half brothers, we have different mothers. But don’t get it twisted Bebe.  I can scale you like Mount Everest. Taller women don’t intimidate me one bit.”

“Um….thank you for that blatant honesty…. Jili will you accompany me to the restroom please?”  

“Excuse us for a moment.”  Jili smiled politely.  

“Absolutely not Jili!!!!!”  Bebe was adamant when the door to the bathroom closed.  

“Bebe I didn’t know!  I swear when he said older brother, I was thinking he looked like him.  You would think older brothers are taller, bigger, and wiser. He is funny though.  You two do have similar personalities. Maybe try to focus on that Bee.  Let’s just try to have a fun time.  You don’t have to see Leo again.  But I know I want to see Liam again. I like him.”  

“You owe me big for this!!!”

Both women come back to the table.  Their drink orders had arrived.  Bebe takes a long sip on her drink.  

“That’s what I’m talking about!”  Leo smiled.  “A girl after my own heart.”  

“How did you and Bebe meet Jilian?”  

“We actually met in NOLA. We were both presenting at a medical conference.  Bebe for the Pharma side, because she’s a pharmacist,  and me for medical for being a nurse practitioner focused in the at risk population.”

Leo eyes flit to Bebe.

“So you’re a drug dealer?”  

Bebe smiled.  “ Legal Drug Dealer. Yep, that’s what I call myself. I’m slinging pills to pay the bills.”  

“I can dig it.”  

“We met the night before our conference began, in a bar.”  

When Jilian walked into the bar she noticed her right away.  There was a woman at the bar,  drinking her drink telling what appeared to be a funny story that had multiple people’s attention.  All were laughing with her.   She had to be a local. Jili thought.  

She had strings of beads around her neck.  

“What can I get ya?”  the bartender asked.  

She looked at Bebe.  “I want whatever she’s having.”  Bebe was the life of the party.  

“Well I did a little pre-gaming at the drive through daiquiri shop though. 

But mostly Hurricanes.  Get her a Hurricane Sal.”  

The bartender winked at Bebe.  

“Don’t skimp on the good stuff either!”  She yelled out.

Jilian’s eyes widened when the bartender  brought her the drink.

Bebe held up her glass to clink with Jilian’s glass.

“Laissez le bon temps rouler!!!!!”   The crowd screamed in agreement at Bebe’s declaration.

“What?”  

“LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!!!!!”  

Jilian took a long drink of the cocktail.  No wonder.  

“Yep! You like it.  I’m Bebe, what’s your name?”

“Jilian.”  

“I’m gonna call you Jili.  What brings you to NOLA?”  

“Work, a conference.”  

“Bleh you said the “W.” word.  That’s not existing in my life right now.  We’re here, we’re alive, no regrets Jili.  Let your hair down and enjoy yourself.  I mean literally.  That bun is a buzz kill.”  

Jili pulled the pins out of her hair shaking out her locks.  

“So much better!!!! You’re a babe!!!  See they’re already looking at you differently.  We’re not interested though.  Unless they’re buying more drinks.”  

Jili glanced at the guys that were now looking in her direction.  

“You’ve got a lot of bead necklaces going on.”   Jili commented.  

“There are two ways to get beads in NOLA.  Buy them or earn them.”

Jili looked at Bebe and raised her eyebrow with a smile.

“Let me guess, your ass hasn’t spent a dime tonight.”  

Bebe took a long sip of her hurricane.  

“Nope.  Not a single dime.  Including alcohol.  I'll tell you what Jili.  Life’s too short.  I’m not going to regret any of my choices.  I spent a year in Costa Rica, living my life Pura Vida.”

“Pure Life.”  Jilian smiled.  Bebe was a carefree spirit, and people gravitated to her.

“We’re only here for a blink Jili.  How do you want your story to be told?”

She decided to throw caution to the wind and party the night away with Bebe.

Jilian’s alarm went off the next morning.  She was incredibly hung over as she tried to pull herself together.  

She had a random memory of her and Bebe walking down  Bourbon Street singing “Lean on Me”  while they were linked arm and arm.  The drunk leading the more drunk back to the hotel.

She smiled, straightening her black business suit.  She was about to pull her hair up into her signature bun but decided to let her tresses fall free instead.  

As she was getting checked into the convention she slipped her ID badge and program of speakers, herself among the list.  

She heard her laugh.  Jili whipped her head around and saw Bebe at the back of the line with two others.  Bebe was wearing a bright pink business suit, and her shoes and clutch had the print of medications on it.  

“The legal drug dealers have arrived!!!! Big Pharma in da house!!!!!!”  

Jili laughed, shaking her head.  

“That’s how we met Liam.”  

“We found out later we lived near each other, and made plans to meet up.  Been friends ever since.  That was like six years ago.”

“I’m surprised you didn’t ask us how we met.”  Leo asked.

“I assume you are brothers…. You met… at birth?”

Bebe shook her head at Leo.

Everyone was calm after not to mention the alcohol free flowing.  They headed to  a lounge after dinner, called Blue Notes.  The music there was full of soul and blues.  

The drinks continued. The music there stirred the soul.  

“May I have this dance?”  Jili nodded, taking Liam’s hand.   He held her close.  

Leo eyed Bebe.   “You know, I have always been one to have a huge case of FOMO.  So you and me let’s hit the dance floor too.”  

Bebe downed her drink in one swallow.  “Why the hell not.”  

They walked out to the dance floor.  With Bebe’s high heels Leo was chest level to her.  He pulled her close resting his head on her bosom.

“Um….so we’re doing this… okay…”  Bebe looked surprised but she was smiling.

Liam laughed softly when he glanced in their direction.

“I don’t think that was meant to go there.”  

“The height difference honestly never crossed my mind Jilian.  Things seemed really awkward for them for a bit, for more so Bebe.  Not so awkward now.”  

Bebe and Leo were looking at each other laughing.

“You know this is never going to happen Leo Rys.”  

“A man can dream.  Well….It could happen for the night.  I can tell you’re curious. Let me tickle your fancy tonight.”

Bebe laughed harder at him.  “You don’t give up do you Leo?”

“Nope because I get what I want.”    

“If nothing else Jilian, I think they will at least be friends from this, if nothing romantic happens.”

The next morning Liam was cooking  breakfast when Bebe walked out of Leo’s room. Leo’s sweatpants looked like capris on Bebe.  

“Good Morning Bebe. Would you like some breakfast?”  

“Sure.”

Leo walked out of the room a few minutes later.  

Liam smiled looking at the two of them.  

“Breakfast Leo?”  

“I already ate.”  Leo winked at Bebe.

Bebe choked on her orange juice.  

“Oh you were talking about bacon and eggs, sure.”  

Nope not at all awkward at all.  Liam thought as he fixed plates for himself Leo and Bebe.

Bebe was climbing in her ride share when her phone rang.

“Bebe… Liam just told me you had breakfast with him and Leo… at his apartment.  You spent the night with Leo?”  

“Leo was right, Jili.  Not all of him is fun sized.”

Word Count: 1496

ORIGINAL POST DATE: 05/11/21 at 12:15PM EST.

He couldn't help but stare.  She was so beautiful, even while she was sleeping.  

"Liam, don't be creepy."

Jilian opened her eyes looking at him.

Liam’s mannerisms turned incredibly bashful.

"I can't help it.  You're a vision.  I am completely enamored by you, Jilian Winchester. Happy six month anniversary.   I have something for you.”

Jili gasped. Her work schedule the past few weeks had been so hectic she had totally forgotten the date. That night was the first time in several weeks they had actually been able to see each other.

Jili was panicked.  

“What’s wrong?”

“I didn’t realize the date.. Work has been so crazy. I know that’s not an excuse.”

He held out his gift for her.  She felt guilty.

“I don’t have anything for you Liam. I’m sorry.”

“That’s not the reason you give a gift to someone Jili."

He pulled the small perfectly wrapped jewelry sized box out of the dresser.

Jili sat up in bed, the covers drifting a bit revealing bare skin, to which Liam's eyes quickly fell upon.

"Jili, your body is present enough for me.  You are absolute perfection."

She opened the box.  Inside was an adorable charm bracelet.  

The charms on the bracelet were all medical inspired.  There was a medical bag, a stethoscope, a little ambulance, and she took particular time with the caduceus.  

“This is a beautiful gift.”  

“I see you’re staring at the Caduceus. Did you know….”

“It’s Greek.  The symbol goes back to Greco-Egyptian mythology.”

Liam’s eyes flashed in interest.

“Greece has always been on my bucket list, Liam.  I’m going to make it to Santorini someday. What I’ve seen of it in movies and in books,  I have to see that in real life.”

“And you will.  Maybe I’ll make it there with you.”  

“Maybe. Thank you for the beautiful gift.”  

“Anytime love.”

His lips met hers again in a sultry kiss.  Jili melted in his arms, falling back into the pillows. 

 She could be late for work once.  

Liam at dinner that night couldn’t be more sweet and romantic.  The flowers, the music and the dancing.  He just made her feel like she was the only woman in the world when he looked at her the way he was at that moment.      

“How do you do it Liam?”

“Do what?”  He questioned her.

“Make me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world?”

“That’s easy Jili.  You are.”

Liam paid for the check and Jili booked the rideshare back to her place.   While Liam was in the restroom she got a text from the driver saying they had arrived.

“Shit!”  Jili ran out of the restaurant, texting Liam “Silver Honda accord “

She jumped into the honda.

“I’m sorry!  My boyfriend will be out in a second.”

“Jaiden Brooks?”  

“No.”

Jili glanced at her phone.

“I was sure it said silver honda accord.”  

“It is.. But there’s also one behind us.”

“And you’re not Chloe.”  

The man chuckled.  “I’ve been called a lot of names in my life,  Chloe is not one of them.”  

Jili jumped out of the vehicle barreling head first into a guy.

“Whoa, moonlighting as an offensive lineman?”  

“It’s how I went pro.”  Jili flexed her muscles.

He laughed, his soft brown eyes twinkled.  

“You take it easy now.”

“Likewise.”  

She smiled as she walked to the second Silver Honda Accord.  

Still in earshot she heard a woman come up next to him.  

“Are you serious Jai?”

“What?”  He seemed genuinely confused.

“You’re flirting and looking at some random chick right in front of me?”

Jaiden looked exasperated.  “Carmen, I wasn’t looking at her!!!!!  She ran into me, I was polite to her, that’s all.”

“You would say that now that you’ve been caught.”  

She pointed her manicured finger at him.

“I’m giving you one last chance.”  

“I WASN’T LOOKING AT HER!!!!  Carmen, you're my girlfriend!!!!”  

They climbed into the car, and Jili was sure their argument was far from over.

Liam joined her a few moments later, pulling her into his arms.  

“I’m glad we have such a healthy relationship.”

“What brought this on?”

“I just saw this couple.  I ran into the guy by accident.  The girl immediately accused him of cheating.”  

“Well…. Maybe he gave her a reason to, in their past.”  

“He really didn’t seem like the type.  He cracked a corny joke.  Seemed really kind.”

“We’ll never know Jili.”  

Author’s note:  Ohhhh But we will.  We’ll know all about Jaiden Brooks at a later date…

Bebe was out in the bar with Leo.  Something they did from time to time.  They have been a wing man/woman for each other  several times now.  That night  she had been a wing woman for him. He was chatting up a cute blonde.  Things looked to be going well for him.  He gave Bebe a wink.

She gave him a thumbs up, studying the two continuing to flirt.   The girl was cute and petite, and appeared to be hanging on Leo’s every word. He seemed interested, and they looked cute together.  

Her stomach grumbled.  Was it the foreshadowing of her monthly monster coming to wreak havoc on her life for the better part of the week rearing its ugly head early?

Bebe winced at the pair.  Tears filled her eyes.

What was that feeling?  She didn’t like it.  Had to be the cramps. She shrugged it off.

Her work was done for the night.  Leo had settled her tab, and would be leaving shortly with Ms. Blondie.  

Bebe headed for home herself, the weird feeling still tugging at her heart, her stomach still feeling a mess.

She didn’t hear from Leo for a few days.  

Until he texted her late that afternoon.

‘Sup Girl?’

‘Nothin’ much.’

‘Can I come over?’

‘Not in the mood.’

‘I didn’t ask for that. You know we have emojis for that.’

She laughed.

‘Not tonight Leo.’

Thirty minutes later there was a knock on her door.  Bebe dragged herself off the couch.

Leo had two bags of goodies.

“I got you your favorite.  Mint chocolate chip, some chocolate syrup, and your white chocolate kit kats you love, and there’s a meat lovers pizza on the way, and I got root beer and Funjuns.”  

“Leo?”  

“How did I know?  As much as I’m around, I kind of know when you go M.I.A, and why. So can I come in?”  

Bebe glanced down at herself.   She was in a pair of dark gray sweatpants and a Hartfeld Heels tee shirt.  

“You look fine, now let me in! This ice cream is going to melt.”

It was the first time Leo had been over to her place, not for sex.  

“So what are we watching?”

“The Time Traveler’s Wife.”  

“Ahhh chick flicks. Bring it on.  I’m going to put this in the freezer unless you want it now?”

Bebe took the mint chocolate chip ice cream, and syrup away from him.  

“We’re doing dessert first, I can dig it. So am I.”  

Leo liked butter pecan and had brought himself a carton as well.  He put the rest of the items on the table until the pizza arrived.

“I’m getting comfortable then alright?”

“That’s fine.”  Bebe shouted when he walked into her bedroom.  

Leo came back after a minute in her pink leopard print robe.  

She shook her head at Leo.

“What?!?!?!  I see why you bought it.  I like the way it feels on my skin.”

Leo was truly something else.

“That’s probably the pizza.”  He went to the door in the robe zero fucks given. Bebe roared in laughter.  Leo just didn’t give a damn about anything.  

Bebe found herself fishing for details.  “So I thought you’d be hanging out with Miss blondie.”

“Meh. Maddy was alright.  But she really didn’t have much of a personality.  I won’t be seeing her again. Why were you jealous?”

Bebe shrugged it off in a nonchalant way.  “No. Not at all.”  

“Trying to keep Mr. not all of him is fun sized for your own personal enjoyment?”

She hit him laughing.   She nudged his shoulder.  

“Thanks for coming over and hanging out with me.”  

He nudged her back.  “Anytime.”  

He put his arm around Bebe and both focused on the movie.  Later she relaxed to resting her head in his lap.  He softly played in her hair.  

She heard Leo sniffling towards the end of the movie. 

She glanced up at him.

“Leo, are you crying?”

“No.”  He quickly wiped his eyes.  

"The tin man really does have a heart."

"It's a sad story okay. Why couldn't they just live happily ever after?"

"That's not the way life is."

"It should be. You should be able to be with the one you want.  That wants you."

She sat up looking at Leo.

Bebe giggled. "When did you become such a hopeless romantic?"

Leo softly stroked her cheek.   

Bebe stopped giggling abruptly as she gazed into his eyes.  

There was so much fire and passion in Leo’s eyes, that Bebe gasped.

Leo’s signature smirk crossed his face, as he leaned in and claimed Bebe’s lips that were in a seductive pucker for his own.
