Noa Shakes Her Head, Heart Sinking. It's Silly, She Knows It. It's Just A Bit Of Clothing, But It Means

noa shakes her head, heart sinking. it's silly, she knows it. it's just a bit of clothing, but it means something to her. " oh no, you don't understand, this is a custom-made piece. it's a one of a kind. completely irreplicable. " the brunette pauses, takes a deep breath to regain some composure. it's been a stressful day and this is just the icing on the cake. hands move animatedly as she begins to explain. " my cat, coco . . . she got into my closet. decided to take a nibble. and here's the thing— i can't even be mad at her, because she clearly has impeccable taste just like her mother. "

" ah, you should've brought this to me way earlier. " alina holds up the garment, twisting it this way and that under the sunlight before handing it back to its rightful owner. " honestly, you might just be better off buying something new. how'd that hole even happen ? "

in life, there's people that linger for only a short time, that are only meant to be a moment in time. then there's people who stay, who mean something even when time and distance changes things. for kyro, that's celeste. there will never be a time he thinks of her as just his ex-girlfriends. she's his friend, a constant. someone he'll forever make an effort to keep in his life in any way he can. so when there was an offer of dinner, there was no way he was turning it down. she opens the door and she's smiling and he barley has a minute to process as she ushers him inside. a wide grin soon tugs at his lips, eyes crinkled with softness. " smells amazing in here, " he states cheerfully. it feels familiar too. creates a warmth he can't find when he's on the road. " i got you these, " turns to hold out a bunch of flowers towards her, because there's always flowers. " i can't take any credit for how good they look, that was all winnie. " a moment passes, and finally he gets a proper look at her. takes it all in. kyro doesn't tend to get shaky breath, but in that split-second, he does. wants to tell her she looks beautiful, but he doesn't want to make it weird. yet, his next question still has the potential to. " did you miss me ? "

making dinner for kyro had once been no big deal, just another sunday night for the pair. now, letty bumbled around her kitchen, tasting everything twice, and then three times to make sure it was just right. though time had passed, his favorites were still at the forefront of her mind, preparing each dish the way she knew he liked them. it was just a catch up with a good friend, that's what she told herself. the rap at the door has her head snapping up, the dish on the stove turned to the lowest heat setting as she smoothed out her outfit and walked toward the door. with a deep breath, she pulled it open, smile wide and welcoming as she ushered him in. "hi ! you're just in time, dinner is almost ready."

an amused grin takes shape, forever a look of adoration whenever he looks at his siblings. “ is that so ? shall we call dad, let him know that he got it wrong ? that you are the true prodigy. ” he nods, brow raising in challenge as he takes off his gloves, tosses them to the side of the ring. “ go on then,” kyro softly encourages, raising his hands up, palms open, “ give it your best shot. show me how it’s really done. ”

"your right hook is lacking," she laughs, lowering the pads and tapping his arm with one. it had been a while since ronnie had gotten into the gym with kyro, not exactly finding it her idea of a great time. she did, however, cherish any and all time she got to spend with her older brother. if that meant she had to spend the afternoon in a sweaty gym, so be it. "i think i could've thrown a better one than that last one. wanna test it out, no gloves ?"

noa’s eyes light up with excitement as she listens to alyssa, a girl after her own heart. thinks anyone she can talk endlessly to about clothes are the greatest people on earth. " five times in one week ? someone is living dangerously. i love it, " the brunette exclaims, before continuing, " but i totally get it. sometimes you just have to be in the store, touch the fabric, soak up the energy. shopping isn’t just a transaction, it's an experience. you’ve got to connect with the clothes, feel their potential, " she nods her head, eyes rolling in complete agreement. " ugh, and yes ! i mean, sure, if you want to buy the trend then buy the trend, but at the very least style it in a way that elevates you enough to stand out from the masses. fashion was meant to set us apart. some people forget that. " with a bright smile, she links her arm through alyssa's, eager to quite literally shop until she drops. " and while we shop, you can fill me in. how's life ? and more importantly, is there anyone special in it ? "

" are you really asking me how i have that kind of self control? because truthfully speaking here? i genuinely have no idea myself. it's hard and not easy, let me just say that much. " it's hard for alyssa to even pull herself away from a just a couple of her favorite stores. mainly because of the fact that if it was up to her, she'd be taking everything right off of the racks at once. " or just don't entirely know how to style the things that they end up getting? or it's all solely just for the trends of everything. " maxing out credit cards was truly a nightmare for her and she hoped every time she went out shopping that it didn't do that. or at the very least decline. another nightmare of hers. " i hope i never reach mine. i went to this one store like 5 times in the last week and i thought i was going to end up reaching it. keep in mind that i didn't even get that many things at one time. " alyssa smiled and clapped her hands together excitedly while she started to lead the way, this was always her favorite part. " yay! come with me and i will show you just how inspired you'll get! "

noa: omg finally !!! noa: honestly, lottie, what took you so long ? noa: i'm on it. i'll pick out all my best clients just for you 💞

lottie: noa ? lottie: what would you say if i asked you to set me up ?? lottie: as a hypothetical of course @dreamerfms

" well, every career is successful if you're successful in it. maybe he has other plans and it's a means of saving, or maybe one day he'll own his own security business. there's room for growth in everything. like, i've seen people with zero fashion sense completely transform overnight, so if that's possible anything is. " shoulder shrug, it was fair enough of the other to not want to settle down right now. everyone is on their own path, wants different things. " or who knows, maybe he'll be someone else's knight in shining armour tonight. "

"No but it's not exactly a successful career. What sort of growth potential is there? And of course I'd do more thorough evaluations for a life partner before I pick them forever. But it's not like I'm even thinking of that right now. I'm way too young to be an old married woman," she declared with a wrinkle of her nose. The very idea of being married right now sounded horrible. "Maybe he'll get a call back, but I'll give it some time so he doesn't think he's too special."
