👻 …someone my muse considers a best friend.

          “how am i not gonna say the man, the myth, the legend, jaden lapointe? guy gets me more than anyone in this town, honestly.”

throwing his hands up in surrender , jaden nodded sheepishly at eesh’s words and allowed the walls to inch down just that little bit further . “ alright , alright , fine .. we’ll get some tracks down and i’ll let you do your magic with the self-depreciation down at a minimum , but you can’t get mad at me if i cringe when i hear the playback for the first time . i’m used to the audio of my voice bouncing off of shower walls or amplified through a karaoke machine which are both far from professional , “ he had quite the backlog of songs ready to record , and he was thankful that eesh was such a good friend , somebody he trusted that was on his side no matter what . he’d help the male sift through the junk and keep the jewels that would eventually make it onto his EP – who knows , maybe those exact songs would be played on the radio , collecting thousands of spotify hits and propelling him into superstardom . he wasn’t relying on it but , god , if anyone was overdue a little good luck it was jaden . 

jaden sung whenever he could . he’d blast vocals in the shower whether he was alone in the apartment or not , would hum and mumble melodies , would connect chords to chores as he did them – for somebody so musically inclined there was still an element of apprehension , a worry that he wouldn’t be good enough even after all this time . if he bombed , what had all this been working towards ?? “ they’re all pretty easy . not to , like , flex or anything .. it means a lot that you’re helping me out as much as you are , even if it’s just cus we’re ‘ buddies ‘ . this is a huge thing for me , “ and it was . the confidence clawed back from the depths was already glowing in the apples of his cheeks , and the excitement made him shuffle in his seat , attempting to hide the breaking of a smile over stoic features . “ just pretend you enjoy them when i show you , okay ?? and if you think my vocals sound shit wiggle your little knobs and make it sound .. not shit . i’m banking on it . i’m probably a little rusty . “ excuses , excuses . it was all to build a wall in order to protect himself , to shield himself from possible comments or criticisms jaden wasn’t sure he was programmed to take .

Okay he was being sour, Cameron swiveled in her seat in the opposite direction. Her knees hitting straight forward at the wall and glanced over her shoulder to her coworkers in the corner— maybe she’d made the wrong decision. High on lack of sleep and settling shots from hours prior she sat up straighter and leaned her head against her palm to look in Eesh’s direction again, “Never from here. I only get the scrambler. Everything’s in it.” She told him, was it true? Hardly. But he was giving her nothing but cold. “You going to work?” She asked after a moment, the waitress wasn’t Nance as it was. So she ordered an Orange Juice when she came up swiftly. 

          maybe he was being too stiff. truth be told, he wasn’t exactly sure where they stood, and he didn’t want to step on any toes, but he didn’t really see how talking about their preferred breakfast foods was in any way controversial. “you know how much i value pragmatism.” he joked as another laugh came out, loosening up his shoulders a little bit. “yeah, in a little while. i’m in the mixing stage of my current project, so i can kinda just stroll in whenever as long as i get my stuff done in a timely manner.” he explained as he ate another forkful of his eggs. “what are you up to?”

maggie: okay maybe, but at least it's not a ten

maggie: i am

maggie: i'm also bored.

eesh: clearly!! lol

eesh: if you're that bored you could have just asked me to hang

maggie: on a scale of 1-10, how bad would it be to pretend to be engaged for cake tasting day purposes?

maggie: and would you be willing to do it?

maggie: ps i may have spent the morning watch romcoms.

eesh: probably around a 7

eesh: free cake? sign me up

“ that’s – yeah , you’re right with that one , “ jaden waved his finger in eesh’s direction , although he still wasn’t entirely convinced his work of art , his musical child , wouldn’t totally nosedive once he heard his vocals played back . “ there’s some acoustic stuff and some stuff that would need more producing . i can play the guitar and a little keyboard but other than that i’m kinda lost , so if we needed drums or bass i’d need your fancy computers to help me out a little , “ they were both techies in their own right – jj was more well versed fixing machines whereas his friend could utilise them to make superstars . “ they’re kinda rock-y . some are more pop-punk , but then there are other more sappy ballads or eighties inspired tunes . i’m not sure which one would be best to start with , “

“right?” she had been lucky enough that the books had scattered around her rather than on top of her which had happened before, that hadn’t been a fun black eye to explain to anyone. “i think one of these day’s i’m going to pull off a solid ten out of ten and when that day comes i shall finally be free of my clumsiness.” once she was back on her own two feet maggie allowed a pause to give him a warm smile, even if she had taken a tumble a visit from her friend would never be unwelcomed. “what are you doing here anyway? looking for little old me?” 

–

realizing it had only been eesh that had entered the store, maggie felt her embarrassment subside far quicker than she had expected it too. it wasn’t the first time he had seen her fall over and she very much doubted given how often the two of them hung out that it would be the last either. one of the draw backs of always having her mind else where was falling - a lot. “i’m good, my arse took most of the landing.” her groan came, hand slipping into his as she used it to pick herself up from the floor. “you know, surprisingly one of my more graceful falls i would say, what about you? if you were rating out of ten?” 

Open Starter – Book Nook – Monday Afternoon @slchat

Her attention should have been on the front counter but with piles of new books to sort, her eyes had been wondering all morning - it was Monday after all - things were to be done on Mondays. Or so she had told herself as she had begun to try and watch the front desk as well as climb stacks of books, placing out new stock. The chime of the front door though, had the red head lent back on her stool, a bad move for someone whose free arm was full with bounds of paperbacks, her balance gone before she could recover it and her back crashing to the floor with a resounding whoomph. 

“Cow Buckets.”  

Laying perfectly still her grimace pulled into a smile as footsteps came to a halt at her head, chin tilting so she could see the other. “Welcome to Book Nook…how may I help you this fine Monday?” 

          eesh only really ever came to the book nook to see maggie. he knew nine times out of ten he’d be able to find her here, be it working or lounging around with her nose buried in a book. that day he’d found himself with more free time than he’d anticipated, so he decided he’d pay her a visit. striding in through the door, he only caught the sight of a head of auburn locks go crashing to the floor, causing him to gasp in surprise and rush over to assist her.

It was one of those late after shoot nights where a 2 AM was actually when she got out. An after hours meet up with cast and crew that went well into daybreak, around this time had Cameron hungry for another round of a greasy scrambled mesh. Nance was working, that much she knew so when she opened the door that was really all she was expecting to come face to face with. This time though, a tired ache, not the same kind from booze that weighed heavy on the back of the eyes but from being shot into place by a guilty feeling Eesh’s very opposite as it was demeanor. The play it off friendly manner he opted for ticking right where her heart wanted to jump and yet, her eyes rolled. 

Tapping Lindsay’s shoulder that was closest, urging them on to their spot in a booth towards the back of Griddle. Cameron pushed the sunglasses she had up her head, barely nodding in tandem before she pulled up to the seat next to him at the countertop. “What’d you get? Should I get it?” Try it out?” He always got just about the opposite she went for.

          it wasn’t that he didn’t want to talk to her. he wasn’t sure he held any ill will towards her despite their breakup being a little...messy. but was talking to her at the top of his to-do list? doubtful. when she sat down next to him he was surprised to say the least, but he didn’t let it show. his gaze snapped to hers and he raised an eyebrow before looking down at his very basic plate of scrambled eggs and bacon with a black coffee. “i’d be kind of surprised if you’d never tried scrambled eggs and bacon, but if that’s what you want, then be my guest.” he responded, a light laugh leaving him.
