Shade apartments were terrible. But Popuri was saving up to buy a nice house so she had to live in the cheapest place possible. And this was the cheapest place possible.

Popuri was cooking dinner aka making some easy mac when she turned and saw the biggest weirdest creepiest bug ever. She froze. She had to think fast before it ran under something and she never found it ever again until it creeped up on her while she was asleep and ate her.

She quickly grabbed a cup and trapped the bug under it.

Now what.

She had a bug in a cup. A cup bug.

Popuri sprinted out of her apartment and ran to Jack’s door and knocked loudly.

“Jack!” She shouted, “I need help quick!”

As Lily rolled off the bed, she glanced at the window. She hadn’t been keeping track of the time, but from the complete lack of light outside even in the middle of summer, she guessed that it was quite late.

“I’m going to have a shower,” she said over her shoulder to the man still lying in bed. 

She and Jack had met a few months prior at a bar and started talking. They’d discovered that they were both on the islands temporarily, Lily wishing to continue her travels and Jack planning to return to the mainland, so they’d struck up a friendship based on this in common. And their love of drinking, of course.

One night, after a few too many drinks and a drunken one night stand, their friendship changed slightly. After that night, it had become a recurring part of her week to receive a text from Jack late at night, asking if he could come over. Lily didn’t mind the new dynamic. After all, it was obvious from the beginning that there were no strings attached.

🐎 - When she wasn’t working, Georgia was often spending time at home, or in quiet places around the island where she could relax and be left to her thoughts. Sometimes, she would head down to the bar after work. Managing a ranch and pet shop could be pretty exhausting work, and there were times where she simply didn’t have the energy to cook dinner when she got home.

So what better way to fill herself up and unwind than to grab a meal at the Cool Breeze Cafe? The owner slash delivery boy could be pretty annoying at times, but he definitely knew his way around a kitchen.

And of course, good food was always better with good company, so she decided to invite Jack, one of her co-workers, along. She mostly knew him as Jill’s brother, but that was about all she knew, aside from his work habits. The boundary between employer and employee made it difficult for Georgia to connect with him on a more personal level, though that didn’t stop her from wanting to foster a friendly relationship between them.
