hello muñequitos e muñequitas : my name is katalina but you guys can call me kata or kat , English isn’t my first language so you guys will have to excuse me ! if you guys like my sweet boy , you can go ahead and click the heart and I’ll come to you for things !

       𝓣𝓱𝓮way the other male reacted made Mateo feel terrible because he truly did not mean to cause any alarm, but it made him realize that even in a town like Mapleview, not everyone was as calm and laid back as he had encountered. “Sorry about startling you; I didn’t mean it.” Mateo gently assured, offering a small friendly smile. “I’ll definitely take your advice and put it to future use, though. You’re right; I shouldn’t be such a creep about things. It’s as simple as calling out to catch your attention instead of just creeping up on you in the dark.” A soft chuckle left his lips. “You wouldn’t happen to be heading towards the bar, would you? Because, if you are, and you don’t mind, would it be cool if I walked next to you? I’d feel like less of a creepy jerk if I did that instead of awkwardly walking behind you in the same direction.”

rafael tried his best to contain himself in all scenarios but there was times , like these exactly where he would lose his grip of reality and thankfully it hadn’t ended too bad “ don’t worry kid , I’m just a little bit more jumpy than usual , soilder brain and all . ” rafael backs his excuse up and nods his head as he hears the homme before him “ sure , why not . ” he says shoving the wallet back into his pocket and extending his hand out “ I’m rafael by the way and once again I’m sorry about almost punching you in the face . ” a chuckle escaping his lips as he walks beside the homme

ｓｈｅ ｐｕｃｋｅｒｅｄ ｈｅｒ ｌｉｐｓ ：AND SHRUGGED. “Well, for all I know, you’re a veteran in my eyes,” she said, nudging his arm back. She rolled her eyes and shook her head, “Yeah, I almost beat him in front of everybody that night. I don’t know what enlightened him to start some shit at my freaking birthday party,” she ranted and stopped herself. “Oh, so soon! I thought you were going to stay in the air force forever,” she said. “Really? I heard Rosie Jane has a sweet new spot,” Rebekah said, knowing very well she knew all these details through her own extensive research. “Also– technically you’re my ex brother-in-law now!” 

“ is this your own twisted version of calling me old ? ” he asked the youngest huntington with a quirk of his head “ I believe that , you always had a horrible temper , even worse than ryder . I remember when you wanted to come with us to Italy and you couldn’t , you threw such a huge tantrum until roman sent you with us and told is to guard you with his life . ” taking another bite of the pizza he listens to her “ I never thought I would see the day that rosalia and rocco would separate and yet here we are . ” he shrugs his shoulders and letting chocolate hues scan her features “ so what does that make us them , if I’m not your brother in law , what are we , friends ? ”

“ you would think that being a full - blooded italian , i would be opposed to eating pizza like this , but if i’m being totally honest , this greasy ass pizza is on a whole ‘nother level . ” kassidy admitted with a laugh as she looked over at the male . she hadn’t even realized it was rafael until she’d turned around to find the sound of the semi - familiar voice that she hadn’t heard in a while . “ hey , i wasn’t judging ! i was just gonna say it’s nice to have you home . ” she told the other honestly . when asked what she’d been up to , she offered him a shrug . “ graduated university , took some me time , went on tour , aaaaaaand now i’m back home just like you . ”

“ I definitely cannot argue you with you on that part , there is no pizza like mapleviews . ” he says with a chuckle shaking his head and hearing the brunette out “ awe you missed little ol’ me ? ” he teases her as he grabs another slice “ that’s awesome . ” biting into the pizza , he leans back sipping on his beer “ well yeah , I didn’t think I would be back at all but here I am two days in and from the look of things , mapleview hasn’t changed that much . ”

it had been a while since he had seen a lot of the people he had considered friends but the handful that he kept in contact were a selected few . grace was definitely one of them , sitting with her in the name open air of the mapleview park “ listen I honestly didn’t even think that I would be back here . ” it wasn’t a lie , his life in Japan was made , he thrived off of it and he never expected anything else but that “ but I guess life here has changed as well , makes me miss the old days of partying and letting loose . ” he says with a grin on his features “ what have you been up to , muñeca ? ”

Rosalia had had a long week. She was officially a divorced woman and she could feel the difference already. She was tired of explaining what happened over and over again but hey, that’s what you get for being married to a notorious family. Barging into her house after a meeting with her agent, she came to a hard stop when she saw the familiar stature inside her residence. “Uh… hello to you, too?” She said, closing the door and looking at him in confusion. “Yes. Last week. It’s official,” she explained. “But the real question here is, what the hell are you doing here, bro?” She asked, dropping her purse onto the floor and kicking off her stilettos. 

“ so I guess you are a single lady . ” he says with a shocker looked on his features , never did he think that he would ever see the day that the pair would split up but then again , never did he think he would be back here . hearing her question he tilts his head to the side , eyebrow furrowed “ I mean I missed my hermanita,  but if you don’t want to see me I can go and be on my way . ” he says picking his bag up from the floor , ready to make his over dramatic leave .

                   it’s fairly  easy  for the blonde to  accept  it’s his fault rather than her own as she simply remains silent over his words, her general  charm  being the one that gets her out of situations more often that not.  with a smile that matches the male before her, alana’s own gaze wanders over to her studio for a mere  moment  before giving him a nod.  “  thank you !  “   she’s simply  overjoyed , especially with the compliments that come flying in her direction.  “  it’s not officially open yet but the renovations are done,  “  she continues to explain as if the male’s been asking,  barely  containing her excitement as she holds the box steady in her hands.   

      𝓣𝓱𝓮 sun had ended its rounds a couple of hours ago, allowing for the blanket of the night to bring on the small winter nip in the air. Originally Mateo had intended to get some fresh air, a simple walk around the park, but as the night carried on, he began to crave the warmth a nice whiskey brought. As per usual, he did not have on a sweater or hoodie, so he shoved his hands into his pockets to keep them warm. Not too far from his destination for the evening, Mateo noticed the person in front of him drop their wallet. “Oh, hey!” He rushed up to scoop the wallet from the ground while waving with his other hand, “You dropped your wallet.” He explained, walking up to the older male with the wallet extended out for him to take.

he missed mapleview even if it wasn’t where he really wanted to be at the moment . things were hard and different , his leave from the airforce held heavy on him . his dreams were not his own and he took in the company of a few medicated drugs , once his general noticed his behavior , he decided that home was what he needed , being off the binge now for over four months , still has him a bit jittery especially at night . the sound of the younger male caused a sudden fear , a flashing over his eyes and he stepped back way too fast , his fist ready but once he realizes what the man is giving him , he takes a breath . “ I’m sorry man , thanks . ” he grabs the wallet from his hands and shoved it right into the back pocket of his jeans “ a word of advice , don’t come up to a stranger like that again , alright kid ? ”

ａｌｌ ｔｈｅ ｓｉｇｈｔｓ ｓｈｅ＇ｓ ｓｅｅｎ ：AND THIS ONE NEVER FAILED TO MAKE HER SMILE. “Well, thank you for your service to our country, Veteran,” she said, scanning his body. Bekah loved a good-looking man. “Oh, you know, just staging and designing homes… like, Rocco’s… and frickin’ Madonna the other week!” She said, brushing her shoulder and laughing. “You?”

he hearts the word ' veteran ' and he shakes his head , a laugh escaping his lips as he takes a sip of the beer in front of him . “ you know I’m not retired right , I just wanted to come home . ” he nudged her arm ever so softly , taking another bite of the pizza before him “ yeah , I was talking to roman , he’s very proud of you both . ” he knew that rebekah and rocco were roman’s pride and joy unlike ryder, who was renatas . “ I also heard that ryders is quite the spectacle on your birthday . ” he says chuckling “ but as far as me , I literally got back yesterday and I think rosalias ready to kick me out . ”

KRISTINA: you know when you say things like that they hurt my feelings

KRISTINA: im not the little girl you remember.

RAFAEL: im sorry , little one.

Clay couldn’t be more excited about the fact he was back around just in time to reunite with Rafael so when the man had suggested that they’d grab pizza together, he obviously jumped at the opportunity. “I lived in LA for so many years and yet this pizza is still the best one I’ve ever had.” He chuckled lightly as he grabbed another bite. “What brought you back though, man? Rosalia told me you were off in freaking Japan.” Clay curiously asked his friend, nodding along with his response. “I see. I’m glad you’re back.” He nudged Rafael’s shoulder with his own. “Ah, you know me, always up to no good. But I’m looking for an apartment now, settling in and shit.”

KRISTINA: ummm yes ?

KRISTINA: for who else

KRISTINA: pretty good , you should pass by my salon , give you the full treatment .

RAFAEL: now i know

KRISTINA: so look what the cat dragged in ?

KRISTINA: shall i roll out the red carpet ?

RAFAEL: is that supposed to be a welcome ?

RAFAEL: for little ol me ?
