Hey there! Glad to see you!

I made this blog to have a single spot where some of my favorite, but less active blogs could all be together. Their stories still matter and I can’t wait to tell them with you!

“They were probably swamped. I mean it’s the weekend plus it gave us plenty of time to bond,” he replied, unable to keep himself from smiling with the look on her face. Keiran moved to get another bottle of water from the kitchen and grab a few plates and paper towel in case Audrey wanted them. He watched her inhale the pizza and licked his lips before moving to get a few pieces on his plate. “Pizza is amazing, that I totally agree with. And I’m sure you could eat pizza every day and still not get fat,” the boy stated, letting his eyes flick over to her before clearing his throat and taking a large bite of his piece.

Audrey continued her consumption of her slice and shook  her head. “Honey, if you think I got this body just by sitting around then you are full of shit.” She pushed back her chair and leaned back, waving a hand over her body. “This is a  masterpiece that started with genetics and has been maintained by rigorous exercise and poor decisions.” Her confidence is  half fueled by truth and the other half by the pleasant tingle of the alcohol she’d had. But then, Audrey shifted again, going back to her slice of pizza. 

“It should be here soon,” he replied, looking at the clock before offering her a smile when there was a knock at the door. “Like now,” he stated with a soft chuckle, pushing himself up and digging some of the money his parents had left out of his pocket. Keiran grabbed their pizza and walked back to the coffee table, setting the box down and opening it. “You want a plate? Or just want to eat it over the box? I’m okay with either option. I just figured I’d pretend I have manners.”

“Fina-fucking-ly,” Audrey replied with a huge grin. She grabbed her drink, downed it, and then slid into her usual seat. She’d never really been the type to shy away from  eating and so she grabbed a piece of pizza and blew on it before stuffing it in her mouth. In about a minute the  whole thing is gone. Then Audrey was up and fixing herself another drink. “Pizza is probably the best thing ever,” she said as she sat back down to grab another piece. Unlike earlier, she’s much more smily. “I don’t usually eat a lot of it, cause like I don’t want to get fat, but I’m pretty sure that if it was possible, I’d eat it ALL the time.” 

This girl wasn’t like any of the others he knew. She was interesting. Everything about her kept his attention. It also helped she was attractive. Extremely so. “I…I just sort of picked it? I can pick something else you’d rather watch?” Keiran asked, shifting slightly and grabbing the remote before getting back to the main menu and flicking through some of the movies. “See anything you want to watch more?”

Audrey gave Keiran a look. “No, it’s fine. I don’t really care that much. I am starting to get hungry though. When did they say that the pizza was coming?” She took a sip of her drink and sighed. There was nothing worse than being slightly tipsy and not having any food in her opinion. 

“Clearly you’ve never met my father,” he said with a soft laugh and a shake of his head. The boy nodded his head, eyebrow arching slightly as Audrey shifted, swallowing and flicking his attention back to their discarded game. He grabbed his controller and flicked back to the home screen, looking for Netflix and smiling when he found it before picking a random movie to play in the background.

Audrey gave a bit of a snort. She didn’t even think that someone could stop her from doing what she wanted. There was an arrogance to her that was undeniable. A remnant of HG in  her daughter. There was also a smirk on her face. Boys were so easy. “Is that what you want to watch?” she asked, taking a sip from her drink. It wasn’t overly judgemental, but Audrey was curious about the choice. 

“Don’t you ever worry that drinking is going to…I don’t know, affect your development or something?” He asked, he’d never seen the appeal in drinking, sure he didn’t lead the healthiest life, spending his weekends drinking cases of mountain dew and bags of doritos. “Right, no, I get the point.”

Audrey merely raised an eyebrow at him and took a sip of her drink. “There are people in England who get to drink and they turn out fine. Plus it helps me to relax,” she said and stretched herself out, angling her body a little bit more than needed. Now that Audrey was feeling it, she was in the mood to tease the boy.

“Ahh, I mean, that’s cool,” he stated, pushing himself up off the couch again because lemoade did sound good. Obviously without the extra. “Do your moms know?” Dumb question. Extremely dumb. “Never mind, of course they don’t.”

There is a sort of snort from Audrey. She took a little bit of pride that she of all people can trick two amazing investigators. “I don’t think they’d know if I did it in front of them,” Audrey said with pride. “Not that I would, but still. I can do no wrong.” 

“I didn’t mean anything by it. I just didn’t want to make any assumptions. I’ve seen girls your size who could out eat me.” Keiran nodded his head and called the pizza place to put in their order before moving to sit down next to her. “What’re you drinking?”

“I’m drinking lemonade with a little something,” Audrey admitted. Since Keiran was her age, she wasn’t going to lie. Sometimes she did when it came to her mothers. What they didn’t know wouldn’t hurt them. “Don’t worry though, I do this all the time.”

“Nope, no weird toppings for me, unless you consider Pepperoni weird now?” He asked, his head tipping to the side, pushing himself up off the couch and digging his phone out. “You think one will be enough? Oh, we could get brownies too.”

“Do I look like I eat that much?” Audrey asked, looking down at herself. “One pizza should be fine.” She took another sip and could feel the  warmth from the drink creep up into her brain. Audrey hadn’t eaten much else all day so it was effecting her more than usual.
