&&. AFTER ME COMES THE FLOOD.

“good question, it seems like always is the answer.” he laughed, glancing around her place briefly. he had heard once that someone’s bedroom said a lot about them, and he wondered what juni’s said about her. not that he was thinking about getting to her bedroom or anything. “okay, good, just sucks you had to go there and everything.” he shrugged, holding out the thermos to her. “it’s homemade tomato, my grandma’s recipe.”

“don’t judge me, it’s all i had, plus this soup is bomb.” august nodded, walking through the door and giving juniper a smile. he wasn’t exactly sure what he was doing, but he did enjoy spending time with her, it made him feel almost at home again. “so, uh, how are you doing?”

❛I had a date, it’s not a big deal.❜ It is. In fact, she hadn’t date anyone since she broke up with April’s father a few years ago. It was quite an adventure but she wasn’t sure if she was ready to start going out with different men who clearly wanted to have sex with her in the end. The girl sighs.  ❛We had a couple of drinks, he paid the bill. I tried to tell him I had my own money but…he insisted.❜    The singers shrugs. Not caring much about the situation.

  ‘ new york is amazing but it’s also just as crazy, i honestly don’t get how people LIVE there .. ’ she supposed the people there said the same thing about l.a. though. ‘anyway, i’m glad to be back home. did i miss anything crazy while i was away ? ’

as promised, august made his way over to juniper’s. her text had been a bit concerning, and she always played it off like it was no big deal, but august couldn’t help but be at least a little bit worried. he’d brought some soup in a thermos, not entirely sure what to bring but figured it was better than nothing. walking up to her door, and knocked a few times and waited, a little nervous and anticipating where this was going to lead. of course they weren’t just friends, but was it too soon to label her as a girlfriend? – @jvnipers

JUNI: i mean we all hate you sage. it's the same as loving you.

“honey, you do know i’m a country singer right? i was born and raised in cowgirl boots without the help of daisy duke thank you very much.”

“i think you’re doing just fine. though i am way out of my league.” he smiled, moving a little closer to juniper and reaching a hand toward her. “i guess, i mean if you don’t want to. but i do just like hanging with you.”
