“ Oh yeah? How does that go for you? ” Cat asked with a small playful curiosity, being more of a realist herself. “ Good point, I’ve heard it goes well with the gig. How many kids have you got? ” 

“ some days are better than others. ” the brunette admitted with a slight giggle. “ it definitely does. i have one -- a son named caden. he’s seven. ”

“ Jesus! ” Ameera flinched, lifting a hand up to her chest to calm herself somehow. “ Hi. ” She saluted shyly, recovering from her brief fright. She took a long breath, glancing at the books she was staring at and picked the one she had chosen, showing the figure of Venus, a smaller frame as it was a book cover not the complete painting, accompanied by the name of the painter, Botticelli. “ I’m glad I’ve found so many books that I like, I know I’ll have enough to read and spend my time if my socializing skills are not enough. ” She rambled. “ What about you, did you find something of your interest? ”

WILLOW couldn’t help but laugh softly when she realized that she’d startled the other woman. “ so sorry! i didn’t mean to startle you. ” she told the other honestly. she then watched as the the woman before her showed her the book that she’d found and she smiled. “ i’ve actually never read that one, sae ye have tae let me know if it’s any good. ” she told her with a smile. when asked if she’d found anything for herself, she nodded. “ yep! even found a few for m’son! ”

ANOTHER one with kids - what a weird thought. “ I would imagine most kids would, ” she said before looking the girl over and pulling a confused face, “ seven? You barely look older than seven yourself. ”

“ that’s very true. ” willow agreed with a nod before letting out a laugh at the other woman’s comment. “ actually, m’twenty eight. ”

“ oh lord – i’ve never been asked this question before, sae give me a second here. she’s gotta be kind. i’m definitely not a fan of rude or inconsiderate people, sae kindness is a must. she’s gotta have a sense of humor, because m’son makes a lot of jokes and i want her tae be able tae laugh at them as often as i dae. patience, as i’ve stated before. she’s gotta be somewhat adventurous. caden and i always try to find different adventures tae gae on, sae if she’s willing tae tag along, that’s perfect. a woman that takes care of herself, both physically and mentally. i love a girl that knows how tae take care of herself, even more sae if she’s confident about it. aaaaand, an accent. accents are just sexy, that’s all there is tae it. ”

“ most likely delaney. out of all the women in the house, she’s the one that i’ve met sae far that i seem tae get along with perfectly. plus, she’s also a mum – which is a plus! ”

“ the scenery. more specifically, the parks and the nighttime lights. i took caden for walks through the park all the time, starting from when he was born up until we moved here tae london. the lights are just a beautiful thing tae see at night. ”

“ the same thing that caden taught me – patience. caden and i come as a package deal, and he takes a lot of patience tae put up with sometimes, sae if someone is patient enough tae put up with him, that tends tae be pretty attractive tae me. ”

“ my biggest insomnia fighter is hot water. doesn’t matter if it’s a hot shower or a hot tub – as long as it’s hot and relaxing, it’s my gae tae. ”
