Love & Lust

“Well– I guess just boring and what makes it weird is the fact that I watch for hours.”

“I know of the Loch Ness Monster Live Stream, the Abbey Road Live Stream and the Big Rig Travels Cam. Don’t ask me how I know because I don’t have that answer.”

“No, you’re fine,” Mason shook his head and motioned for him to sit back down. “Wanna just hand me that?” He pointed at the hoodie. “Learned that lesson about 17 different times,” he chuckled. “What was the combination?”

Lorenzo nodded his head grabbing the hoodie and handing it to the guy “yeah I always say never again, then go and do it again.” He said laughing “I had beer first, played beer pong and flip cup. Then I had some whiskey and finished the night with vodka.”

Roxanne: Well I used some in my place and then my boyfriend's and I have like 8 left.

“Speak for yourself, it’s one of the only things to do around here anyway.”  Addie sipped her coffee with a sigh, “I really don’t want to go into work today though an you think of anything worse?”

“Well I’ve been here for a year and I find a lot to do.” He said looking at her with a raised eyebrow “but I’m a photographer so that’s not too hard.”

“I ended up at home, I just needed to take a nap first.” Addie shrugged, “It happens to the best of us. It was fun though.”

“Well that’s good” he said nodding his head. “Yeah it was, but it’ll be the last time I get that drunk for a while. I try not to do it that often.”

“Just you– I was sitting there,” Mason motioned to his sweatshirt on the back of the chair next to the other guy. “Someone had a rough morning, huh?” Mason grinned with a laugh.

Lorenzo looked back, and stood up quickly. “My bad dude” he said nodding his head, running a hand through his hair. “Oh yeah, it’s been brutal. All I can say is don’t mix your liquors.”

Emma: Mkay, so 1) hated snape 2) we got a shit ton of books and movies and character development for those “villains”. Hopper was static as fuck and overall a massive dick.

Emma: Sounds like something someone with a weird grasshopper fetish would say.

Lorenzo: Well to each their own.

“House party.” Addie sighed, “You know how they go.. they always start on one level and then you end up on level 50 and you’re basically asleep in a bush.” 

Lorenzo laughed nodding his head “yeah same!” He said smiling “except I did end up at home.”

Emma: Obviously!

Emma: Do you want his number? You two can talk about your weird fetishes without me as the middle man.

Lorenzo: Hmm interesting seeing as like Draco and Snape are two of the most liked characters in Harry Potter and they are supposed to be villains.

Emma: That says a lot about you as a person.

Emma: But do I really wanna know that because what if the answer is yes and he starts telling me all about his weird grasshopper kink?

Lorenzo: Well why is that? Is it because he's the bad guy?

“I’ll be okay.” Addie argued, stubbornly, “I just need the coffee and a bagel sandwich and I’ll be good as new.” 

Lorenzo nodded his head drinking more coffee “so where’d you end up last night, that got you this hungover?”

“Thank you your highness.” Addie plopped down across from him and sighed, “I think I may be dying.”

Lorenzo laughed and continued to drink his coffee “well then you are a little more worse for wear than I am, because I feel like shit but a cup of coffee and I’ll be okay.”

“Mmm, yes, very clearly spreading your joy,” Lily teased, smiling into her cup in place of a laugh. “You don’t know how you wound up there? Where did your night begin?”

“Yeah you know besides my little outburst” he said laughing. “Well I mean I didn’t know anyone before the party. I was at the liquor buying a can of soup and a monster and these two girls told me to go to a party. So I said okay” he said shaking his head “but like I don’t really understand why, we’d never met before.”

”You kidding, right?” She couldn’t help the laugh that went past her lips, before hitting him playfully. “I was here two years ago, did you really have to wait for me to leave to move your ass here?” Bonnie suddenly felt at ease, a way she hadn’t thought she’d ever feel again– that sense of familiarity. “Well, my parents supposedly don’t know where I am neither, but you know my father… I’ve probably got a target on my back.”

Lorenzo laughed and nodded his head “yeah didn’t you know I don’t like to be in the same place as you for long.” He said laughing, nudging her shoulder “no I’m kidding, I was still traveling around Italy. It was pretty great actually. Six years out there I learned a lot about my family, and myself. I even got better at photography.” He said smiling at her, before flicking his cigarette in front of him and stomping it out. “Well if my mom has anything to say she won’t let them come here.” He said knowing how tense family talks can get “her getting me this place behind my dads back was huge” he said rolling his eyes.

“Oh, don’t apologize, we’ve all been there,” she assured with a soft smile. “Oh– sure,” she nodded, sipping her own coffee and taking a seat. “I’m Lily, thanks for letting me join your misery,” she teased. “Was last night worth it?”

“Yeah, thanks again.” He said taking his sunglasses off his head and setting them on the table. Taking a sip of his coffee, smiling into the cup. “Any time, I’m here to make the people happy” he said laughing. “You know it actually was, it was a good party. Don’t know how I ended up there but it was a fun night.”

Lighting her cigarette, Bonnie couldn’t help the smile that formed on her lips. “I kept it very dearly, it was indeed lucky.” She teased him, taking a long smoke and chuckling afterwards. “Where have you been, Lo? And how on Earth did we end up in the same shitty town? It’s like we can never really get away from it all, huh?”

Lorenzo shrugged his shoulders running a hand through his hair “I don’t know” he said laughing. “My mom set me up in my apartment, my dad doesn’t know” he said rolling his eyes. “I’ve been here for a year and a half” he said looking at her. 

“Oh, sorry. I just have your coffee,” Lily gave him a soft smile, placing it on the table. “Was just taking my break, and you look like you’re in– some kind of shape, so figure I’d walk it over,” she chuckled.

Lorenzo raised his sunglasses, and smiled as he noticed the girl. “Sorry, rough night, morning, rough anything” he said grabbing the cup and taking a sip of it. “That was really kind of you, did you want to sit?” He said pulling out the chair a bit “I’m Lorenzo.”
