Erick Mathews Bennet

“Do you have a lot of fans? I have, like, one. And it’s this nice Italian dude. He’s ancient.”

“I think i have a pretty good sized fan base. All around these parts they know me but if i were to go somewhere else probably not.” Erick explained. “Does that makes sense?” 

“I missed it.” She answered simply, wiping at a spot on the bar before flipping her towel over her shoulder once more and leaning on the bar across from him. “I’ve been swamped in paperwork lately, I wanted to be upfront. Not always easy being the big dog.” She grinned, winking at him. “Plus, I heard it was your birthday.” Gianna laughed as she teased him.

Erick laughed, “Do you feel like work is a stress reliever for you?” he asked curiously. He was a question kind of person. The way people reacted to questions and how they answered them. He also envied the fact that someone could think work was as stress reliever. 

Paul sighed. “Was there something you needed?”

“Nope” Erick said popping the P. “I just wanted to bother you. You look stressed.” 

Annabelle smiled, relaxing slightly at the idea of food. Now that she thought about it, she was actually really hungry, and it had been a while since she’d talked to Erick, which was probably part of the reason her stomach was tied in knots. “Oh god, okay.” This time, she actually had an answer ready. “Sushi? Or do you hate that now or something?”

Erick laughed, “Sushi is perfect.” He missed her but he knew he had to keep his distance. He was going to spill something about his life and she was going to read him like a book. It was always so hard to lie to her. “I could probably eat like five rolls right now. Im starving.” he admitted. 

“Yeah, this is a diner and even if we had alcohol, I can’t legally serve it to you.” Ash huffed and grabbed a mug. “I got hot chocolate and coffee.”

“I was just testing you.” Erick laughed. “Hot chocolate please.” he smiled at the girl. 

Annabelle took his phone, holding it for just a second before starting to type. She wasn’t sure if it was the greatest idea, but whether she liked it or not, she did miss his company sometimes. “Today’s probably best, actually. Lots of…. meetings and such, you know how it goes.”

“Yeah yeah, Well if you arent free then lets head somewhere.” Erick said ith a smile. he was nervous as hell but he couldn’t show that on the outside. “We can go where ever you want” 

“Do you need help or something?” Ash said from behind the counter of the Bearclaw.

Erick looked up at the women and raised and eye brow to her, “Are you sure thas how you are supposed to talk to a paying customer?” He smirked. “Just a Jack and coke please.” 

“Erick! Hey, man, how have you been?”

@erickmathews-rp

“Benny!” Erick laughed,, “Ive been good man, just making money and making more money. What about you man? “

“I’m trying work here,” said Paul, barely looking up from his paper work.

@erickmathews-rp

“Ugh fine.” Erick said rolling his eyes. 

“Yep, I’m Michael. What’s it to you?”

@erickmathews-rp

“No need for the aggressive ness dude,” Erick laughed. “Just wanted to put a face to the name.” Erick commented. 

“Are you doing anything for Valentine’s Day?”

@erickmathews-rp

“Probably gonna go to the club.” Erick laughed. “What about you?” 

“I really don’t think that’s any of your business.”

@erickmathews-rp

“I guess , whatever floats your boat.” Erick said taking a swig of his drink. 

“Woah, watch where you’re going,” Kasper huffed, fixing his jacket from where he’d been bumped. 

@erickmathews-rp

“Sorry dude, didnt mean to.” Erick said. He turned and looked back at the man and rose his eyebrow. “Do we have a problem?” 

“If someone tells me one more time to make graphic tees, I think I’m going to punch them. You’re going to have to hold me back.”

@erickmathews-rp

“I would love to see you fight, I don’t know if id hold you back.” he laughed. 

“You look familiar.” Darcy said plainly, furrowing his brows as he tried to place his face. “Should I know you?”

@erickmathews-rp

“I don’t know should you?” Erick laughed. “My names Erick Bennet?” he introduced himself.

“Hey! I know you!” She called, bouncing on the balls of her feet excitedly. “Okay, I don’t know you, but you play at the Bearclaw sometimes, right?”

@erickmathews-rp

Erick looked at the girl confused and laughed. “Oh yeah, I do!” he smiled. “Always good to meet someone who watches me preform. Whats your name?” 

“You need to release a new single, like, yesterday.” She teased, grinning. “Because I always paint best to your music, and your old stuff isn’t working for this piece.”

@erickmathews-rp

“I just havnt been to the studio.” Erick chuckled. “Soon though I promise.” Erick smiled. “What piece are you working on?”
