laying on his back, the warm sand almost makes him forget the hell he has stumbled into. he sits down to rest before going to the barrels to bring back enough water to cook, but forty five minutes pass. he doesn’t remember the last time he sat still for the sake of it, and he loses himself to the sound of the waves. even with his eyes closed, he notes the change of light behind his lids. he shields the sun with his hand as he stares up at them. “are you checking to see if i’m breathing?” his tone is serious, but his smile says differently. “or just enjoying the uninterrupted view.”

.

"the first one," she starts, a semblance of a smile starting to form in the corner of her lips, "the tide might get high soon and i would hate for you to be washed away and i just can't have that on my conscience." a soft laugh escapes past her before adding, "the view is not so bad either, i guess." she wouldn't have dragged herself into this mess if it hadn't been on an island as she was convinced she could not live anywhere away from the ocean. "are you okay, though?"

“ this island is amazing.. do you think we’ll get the time to explore? i know we should probably take the time to meet other people, but i’m too excited and curious to find out what’s over there.” ( @realitystart​ )

“you could do both,” alba suggests as she ties her hair up into a ponytail. “ask someone to go out for a walk, you kill two birds with one stone.”

         (  @realitystart​  !  )     “  hmmm  -   we  need  water  for  dinner  -  ”    she  announces,   to  no  one  really  in  particular.    “  join  me ?  i  think  you  and  i  could  manage  …  one  bucket,   at  least.  ”  

it’s times like this that alba regrets all those days she skipped arm day at gym. “of course, i think we might even be able to manage two.” that was waay to confident and probably not a reality but some enthusiasm was never bad even if it was far from realistic. “maybe we should start sending those with more arm strength to get water,” she adds with a chuckle.

           “  —  hey,   what  do  you  think  about  mashed potatoes ?   or  we  could  attempt  french  fries  …  i  do  not  know  how  well  that  would  work  here.  ”    @realitystart​ !

“anything with potatoes is a win in my book,” alba says with a smile as she thinks her answer further. “but if we are going to cook it, then i believe the safest option for everyone is mashed potatoes. less risk of burning down this place, you know?”

01. STATS

NAME: alba catalina salinas ibañez

GENDER: cis woman

PLACE OF BIRTH: havana, cuba

HOMETOWN: malaga, spain

DATE OF BIRTH: february 20th, 1994

AGE: twenty-eight

SEXUAL ORIENTATION: bisexual

PERSONALITY TYPE: INFP

02. INFORMATION

alba was born in havana, cuba. the daughter of a spanish diplomat and a cuban woman.

death tw: her father passed away when alba was just a bit over a year old and thanks to her marriage to a spaniard diplomat, her mother was able to leave cuba and move to spain with her daughter.

once in spain, her mother pretty much abandoned alba and spent most of her life traveling with the inheritance her husband left them while alba was left under the guardianship of her paternal aunt.

the salinas were wealthy and known in spain. her aunt was a very pragmatic woman and while she loved alba, she also could be very strict and tactless.

alba grew up very lonely. her mother would visit her once in a while only to comply with the rules of the inheritance which stated she had to spend time with her daughter. 

bullying tw: she was a very reserved child, and she was bullied because of a stutter she developed. her confidence was nowhere to be seen and it didn’t help that she was always compared to her mother who was a beauty of her own and alba simply felt as if she was not as beautiful or good as her mother. she believed this was the reason why she didn’t love her.

beauty and perfection were attributes gifted only to her mother, and so, a desire for acceptance took a hold of her. at 18, she visited cannes for the summer to be with her mom. 

the was a bird let out of the cage, and after that first rush of freedom, she realized she didn’t want to return to the nest. the two months at Cannes turned into three and then four. 

for the following years, alba spent the next years spending her trust fund in lavish parties, dating people that treated her like shit and she was surrounded by a bunch of fake friends. however, it was all worth it because for once she had the acceptance she longed for.

it wasn’t until she turned twenty-five and her aunt passed away that she got a waking call and realized how shallow and wasteful her life had become. 

she left that life and moved to mallorca where she settled at one of the family’s homes. she started doing what she loved the most which was painting and began to get involved into the art business, opening her own art gallery.

it was in mallorca where she met callie while she was on vacations. it all happened fast but one thing led to another and soon callie was moving to mallorca to be with her.

it was her own insecurity and abandonment issues that cause a strain in their relationship and she is still not sure what made her think joining this reality is gonna do for them. 

03. PERSONALITY

alba is a dreamer by nature, she enjoys daydreaming and making up stories and conversations in her head. she is very sensible, and she has strong emotional responses to music, art, nature, and the people she interacts with. however, she also keeps a lot of things to herself, especially her insecurities. she longs for deep connections but she is also scared of getting attached and then being left or feeling smothered. she’s extremely empathetic, which often causes her to feel overwhelm with things that are out of her control or are not even her problem.
