the last person that dominic expected to run into was aiysha. outside of the bar and the bedroom, he had yet to really see her around town. then again, he was usually more focused on his kids than anything else. he'd wanted to participate in today's game though and so, their grandparents took them for the day. he knew not everyone was lucky to have the help but he was and as a single parent, he appreciated that more than he could ever express.

Hah, funny. Aiysha knew what a woman like her meant to a lot of people in this town, but somehow, she caught herself growing curious as to what it meant to someone like Dominic. "Giving your team good luck, of course." The petite brunette shrugged, resting her hands in the back pockets of her shorts. His question was ungrounded, she thought. Aiysha was very much a town supporter, despite this town not supporting her back, and to annoy and chase away those dry women and soft men — if you know what I mean? It was pure entertainment to her. "How dare you ask me that?"

Although Aiysha didn't hear any animosity on the blonde ahead of her as she spoke, however, the store owner was used to being teased like that growing up, to the point where she had to bite her tongue not to end up being rude to the woman. She was more than willing to let that annoyance slide and never speak to the blonde again, especially since, once again, there was no animosity in the blonde's words... but then, the stranger mentioned the coffee being bad, and well, Aiysha wasn't going to spend money on bad coffee.

cleo was starting to do better at spending less time at work and more time trying to trying to get a hang of things around providence peak. she felt as though it was time to start making friends, to stop letting her fear hold her back. so she pushed herself out and went to brunch on her own, one leg crossed over the other as she peered over the menu that was place on the table in front of her. she could feel someone lingering close to her table and she assumed it was due to the lack of seating and the mass amount of people that has decided to do the same thing she did. glancing in their direction, she took a deep breath. it was time to step out of her comfort zone. "you're...welcome to join me. i mean, there's room. it's just me." she spoke, offering a small smile.

If Aiysha was being honest, she was actually looking for a certain blonde hair among the crowd and failing miserably in finding her, however, as the beautiful brunette invited her over, Aish couldn't stand there and deny the company. "Well, you wouldn't have to ask me twice, baby girl." With that, Aiysha pulled the chair and sat down, hands easily picking up one of the menus that laid on the table. "Should we order some mimosas?" She asked the other woman. "Does that smile have a name, by the way?" / @cleostjamess

where: friday evening cornhole games who: open ( @providencepeakstarters )

Ah, the sun was out again. If Aiysha had been showing off skin even when the weather was cold, it wouldn't be hard to see the store owner sporting clothes that showed off more skin than most people would have liked to see her in. Alas, she didn't care. As the petite woman strolled past the cornhole rows, someone offered her to play the game, and well... she wouldn't mind it. "You should always tell others you'll be great at games." She smirked, telling the other as she picked one of the bean bags the red-head was offering. "It builds confidence." She winked. "You can start." / @jessica-nichols
