Abigail

“And just what are you here for? You’d better have a good reason for being so bold in approaching me, Richards. You still have money that you need to work off and I don’t take to Free Loaders kindly” The man said without looking up from an order sheet, only then setting it down to fold his arms as he finally regarded her. “Well?”

She looked at him with a smile, not intentionally wanting to upset him in any way.  The less he took any notice of her the better.  But she had also been working her ass off since she started and made a slight face at the free loader comment.  That wasn’t her in the least.  “I’m working my full shifts as scheduled, Sir.  I was just sent in to let you know that a couple dumbasses are harassing teh bartender and demanding free drinks or something like that.  The boys thought you’d want to at least be aware of things.  That’s all,” she said and smiled as she turned to leave as fast as she had come in.

“Damn right, it’s the only bonus of having a stupid princess tiara afterall. I can do as I please and no one tells me no” she grinned, waggling her eyebrows again at the other, hoping that she had at least enticed her. “I mean, we’d totally show you a good time, there isn’t any doubt about that” she said simply, toying with a lock of the humans hair “We only play rough if we know everyone is down with it” she winked, giving a hum. Andie’s hand wandered down the humans chest slowly, unbuttoning a couple of buttons on her shirt to show some of her chest. “I mean I like what I see…”

“Ah I could see that.  I’m sure you look amazing in your tiara too.  I have a strong feeling that not many tell you no like ever,” she laughed with the other, shivering as Andie moved closer to her, fingers playing with her hair.  “I’m sure.  I do love a good time after all as well.  I am intrigued.  And I wouldn’t doubt a good time with you either.”  Abby quickly licked her lips and wondered if she was really going to do this.  Part of her just said yes.  “I’m not as fragile as you might think so I might be down if you’d like.”  She purred a little more and looke down at Andie’s hand as her buttons were undone on her shirt exposing her skin.  “I’m glad you’re not  disappointed so far at least.”

Sebastian smiled. “It would be hard to get worse.” He joked, truly feeling bad for how he treated her all those times before.  “Anywhere you want.” He offered. “Sometimes is good to drive without a destination in mind.”

“I would hope so too,” she replied as they headed toward the car and climbed inside.  She started the car and smiled at Sebastian as it warmed up.  “Anywhere, hmm.  I do like not having a set plan too.  We can see what happens within reason of course.  No cross country trip, I promise.”  Once they were settled, she put the car in gear and headed down the street.

“We do.” Eros drew closer to Abigail and brushed a strand of hair from her face. “No, of course not, babygirl,” he hummed sweetly. “Just busy, like always.” Tilting his glasses back up he smirked. “Keeping yourself out of trouble I hope?”

“hmm indeed,” Abby said with a smirk as she watched him and enjoyed him getting closer to her, his hand on her face.  “good to hear.  I would be very upset if that was the case,” Abby site, biting her bottom lip a little.  “Ah yeah I know that feeling, the being busy part, but we do need to find times for ourselves too.  Trouble, me?  Why I could never dream of doing that.  You?”

Katherine took a deep breath, she was feeding properly, so soon the pain was gone, and she could stand properly again. “Yes… I just wasn’t expecting the kick.” She said placing one of her hands on her belly, she was 3 months pregnant, but it was equivalent to an 8 months pregnancy of a human. “Is okay, I just need to rest, I don’t want to bother you, well, bother you more.” She said with a smile.

Abigail was still looking concerned for the princess; o who didn’t know one of the royal family if they were in town for any length of time, let alone born here.  “Oh yes I’ve heard some can kick pretty well as they get bigger.  You don’t have too much longer do you, if that’s not too much intrusion.  Your Highness.” she said with a smile but shook her head.  “I assure you, it is no bother at all.  Can I get you anything or call someone to help you?  I’d feel really bad ust letting you go on your own.”

Kylar nodded his head in understanding, but was never one to say much, especially to someone he didn’t know well. “Where do you work?” he asked, his curiosity showing itself as they spoke. He glanced around and then back at her, “Are you really free to do what you wish?”

“You don’t talk a lot do you?  It’s all good I get it, I definitely talk more than most.  Me oh I work over at the Pointed Fang actually, just as a dancer.”  Abby smiled a bit and then looked at him as well.  “I mean I don’t have to work i I didn’t want to, but I’m human just like any other human but yeah I suppose I am free in that way, more than most.”

Her smile gave him relief that she was going to allow him to assist her bad morning. “It’s a nice spot, or at least, I try to make sure it is,” he said easily enough. “I try to have it be a place of reprieve, for anyone that needs it.” He grinned and gestured towards the direction of his shop, “I’m Geraldo. It’s lovely to meet you, Abigail.”

Things definitely could have been worse and now she had a nice guy offering her coffee and in her book that was never a bad thing.  “That’s always good to hear too, and you and feel it in the atmosphere of a place if the owner loves it, wants to make it a great place too.  Have someplace nice to just chill out even for a little while can be really nice.”  Abby let him lead the way as she started walking with him.  “Geraldo, nice to meet you as well.  And thank you.”

Katherine was walking around the city, she was tired, but still trying to do everything she could, this was going to be a strong winter and the slaves would need some extra supplies, so after some argument and protest, the guards left to take the supplies to the hive, leaving her alone for a few glorious minutes, however a little after they left Katherine felt an abrupt pain, enough to make her hold on whoever was passing by, so she wouldn’t fall on the ground, Jeremiah wasn’t joking when he said the baby kicking could easily break a few of her ribs, it was certainly painful, but a good one, it wouldn’t take much longer for the baby to   arrive. “I’m sorry.” Katherine said composing herself again, and finally letting go of whoever she was holding on to.

Abigail was running a few errands before she had to get to work  and needed a chance to stop and home first too so she cut across one of the streets trying to keep work in the col and lost in thought to make sure she hadn’t forgotten anything when her arm was suddenly grabbed tightly.  “Oh, whoa!” she exclaimed looking to see who it was and why.  “Are you okay?  No don’t be sorry, can I do anything to help?”

Geraldo hadn’t met this one before, but he obviously didn’t know everyone, so it was no surprise. “I think we all have mornings like that,” he said, giving a small smile, “But perhaps I can help shake it off.” He couldn’t read her gaze and smiled warmly, “It’s Hive Honey Sweets, I own it,” he responded proudly, “Yes, coffee or another beverage if you prefer it.”

“You know, we should just like hook up. My girlfriend and I have a hot tub and you know- you look like you could use some fun with two hot vampires?” Andie wondered with a playful snap of her fingers, followed by a little wink. “So, if you’re up for it?” @abigailxrichards​

“You seem confident about that.  You have a girlfriend and a hot tub... well I suppose a princess can have what she wants,” Abby smiled at the very unroyal royal she was speaking to.  “I wouldn’t be opposed to fun with two hot vampires, no, actually sounds like it could be fun.”  Some may think she’s crazy but she had been around vampires her whole life, maybe she just had a different perspective.  “I could be persuaded I’m pretty sure,” she grinned.

Looking at her still made his heart hurt, but at this point he was used with the pain, it was his older friend after all. “Yes, I’m serious.” He said. “I think I owe you that at least, from all our awkward encounters.” He said scratching the back of his neck, he had kissed her, yelled at her, cried, it had been a roller coaster. 

She couldn’t believe he’d even offer something that and she was cautiously excited.  “Thank you!” she replied, not sure what to say otherwise at first.  “Awkward at first maybe but they have gotten better,” she replied again, reaching out to take the keys from him.  “Where should we go?”

Kylar wasn’t sure what to make of this one, considering she seemed too light and playful for his tastes. “I can’t say I have a reason to drive,” he said shortly, “I tend to walk where I need to go.” It wasn’t far from where he slept to where he worked, but fuck, it was a nice thought to be allowed to own a car.

“Sometimes people don’t but there is that thrill when you can get it too,” she said smiling but with a slight shrug too.  “Not that walking isn’t nice, when the weather is good or the park isn’t too crowded.  Plus there is a small, tiny measure of free space and open road that you can’t find anywhere else.”

Sebastian preferred not to talk about what he was missing at that moment, he missed his old girlfriend, that one that looked so much like her, he missed birdie, he missed having someone that loved him, unfortunately for him, there was no way to get what he was missing at that moment. He grabbed his cars keys and showed to her. “Want to drive?” he asked

Abby couldn’t help but smile when she saw Sebastian.  At least he certainly didn’t seem to freak out or be hurt by just the sight of her when they randomly met.  She was also genuinely surprised when he offered her his keys and looked back up at him.  “You’re serious? Really?” she asked, excited but not sure what to think either.

Geraldo was attempting to mind his own business, but when someone crossed his path that look less than amused, he was curious. “Hey, you all right?” he asked, curious if they’d toss him aside or accept his attempt to speak to them. “I’m on my way to my shop, why don’t you join me for a cup of coffee?”

She wasn’t happy that’s for sure.  Not only had someone been rude and shoved her out of the way causing her to step in a puddle but in the process she had lost her coffee.  To Abby that was even worse that the cold wet foot.  “Just would like to veto this morning and start over but otherwise mostly unharmed.”  She looked up at him not sure what to make of him.  “What kind of shop? wait... coffee?”

“Oh this? It’s nothing. Just… a little bruise.” The slave sighed, not daring to look up from the ground, “Someone picked up some of my things at the Hive. I just wanted it back.” He didn’t have much, and someone had already taken his jacket this winter, he needed the sweater he had. It was worth fighting for at that point. “I’m fine.” 

@xadlibitumhqstarters​

Abby frowned; she’s paused when she saw him on the sidewalk, struggling a bit as well.  She knew well what things were like in the Hive but it didn’t mean she had to like it, nor did she like to see people hurt either.  “Are you sure, it looks painful.  And i don’t blame you, it’s yours no one should take it from you.”  She offered her head to help him get up from the ground.  “Don’t you have something warmer to wear than the sweater, it’s cold out here.”
