Hey, hope you’re doing well? 😌✨ I saw you opened requests for Lewis and I thought about one where reader and him are out somewhere at an event and the subtle physical affection they have. They’re both rubbing the inside of each others arms at different moments and they’re also smiling at each other when the other isn’t looking 🤭 I miss seeing fluff so that’s why I’m requesting it 🤣😭😭

Sugar Sweet Kisses and Velvet Caresses

pairing : lewis hamilton x reader

fandom : f1

synopsis : lewis can't quite keep his eyes off at you at the fia prize giving, but little does he know you can't keep your eyes off of him either.

requested!

a/n : thank you sm for requesting and interacting it means the world to me!! and i hope your enjoy it ☺️ also this image of lewis goes so well with this prompt

warnings : tooth rotting fluff

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

while lewis did generally enjoy galas because it meant he could go all out and dress up to the t, the prize giving gala was just plain boring.

it was the same droll jokes and mildly tense atmosphere as both toto and christian made petty speeches, that had him rolling his eyes and downing shot after shot of the non alcoholic beverage that had been provided for the table he was sharing with valterri, and his girlfriend tiffany.

he was mildly placated by the fact that you had accompanied him to the awards show, finding time out of your busy schedule of recording and touring to join him, looking etheral beside him, albeit bored out of your mind as the both of you exchanged quiet murmurs of sarcastic comments and disguised smirks.

as the ceremony unfolded, you had also exchanged discreet yawns and shared amused glances behind the veil of forced smiles with valterri and tiffany, who also did not enjoy the formalities of the ceremony. you found yourself becoming very good friends with the finn and the aussie, and you had spent many a race in matching mercedes caps with tiffany, cheering on your merc boys.

even after valterri joined alfa romeo, your close bond remained, and you found yourself in the alfa romeo garage when the mercedes one became too unbearable.

muffling a deep sigh, your fingers couldn't help but fidget with the silky material of the pink Versace dress you had chosen for the night, eyes taking in the dimly lit room and all the people in it.

from the table next to you, susie shot you a sympathetic smile, and you smiled back, giggling when she rolled her eyes and pointed discreetly to the stage.

you missed the way lewis' eyes were resting on your figure, a soft smile gracing his lips as he took in the wide smile on your own lips, the way you seemed to glow like a flickering candle, glimmering softly in the chandelier light. he couldn't help but feel a warmth rise to his face as he took in the curve of your nose and your long eyelashes, glittering with the sparkly mascara you had worn, to the outline of your cheekbone melting into your round cheeks, and the curve of your lips, painted in a glittery nude that suited you to perfection.

he took in a sharp breath, feeling mildly winded as he saw the way a stray strand of hair framed your face, slipping out of the neat bun you had elected to don, to the way your skin shimmered softly from the highlighter your makeup artist had put on you.

he took in the sight of your bare arms, the matching butterfly tattoo you both had on display on your forearm. his eyes trailed down to your hands, nails done in the same shade of pink as your dress, and fingers adorned in multiple rings, many of them gifts from him.

he took in the sight of the deep pink dress you were wearing, hugging every curve of your body like a glove, eyes softening as he took in the roll of your tummy in the dress and the way your it highlighted your collarbone, letting him glimpse into the dots that formed constellations on the bare skin.

he followed the trail to the way your leg peeked out of the slit in the dress, to the heels that adorned your feet, and shook his head softly with a smile as he saw that the heel on your left foot was dangling off your toes, since clearly his earlier warning of aching feet had come true.

he smiled as he recalled the way you had raised an eyebrow at him, and pursed your lips into a pout, and told him "i can't, not wear these heels babe, i got them just for this event!"

he felt his heartbeat quicken as he thought to himself for the millionth time, how in the hell had he gotten lucky enough to be with the goddess of a woman sitting beside him.

of course mr smooth wasn't as smooth as he thought he was because soon enough you felt his eyes delicately tracing the expanse of well, you, and you had to hide a blush at the thought.

lewis was snapped out of his daze when george and his girlfriend, carmen, came over to talk to him as the proceedings took a break.

as he turned to talk to them, his hand reached for your leg, resting on your thigh, gently squeezing it reassuringly.

as he engaged in polite conversation, he missed the way that your gaze settled upon him, taking in the sight of him in all his glory.

he had opted for an all black outfit , and he looked nothing short of jaw droppingly stunning. you took in the slightly crooked curve on his nose, smiling softly as you remembered many a night of pressing soft kisses to it, to the gentle smile he wore, a contract to the rough beard he adorned, to the little gap in between his teeth that you so adored, that flashed when he grinned at people.

you took in the silky black suit he was wearing, compliments his features so well, and the Cartier pearl necklace that he loved so much. the v cut of his suit allowed the necklace to gleam, and his tattoos to perfectly compliment it.

you took in the sight of his hands, littered with tiny tattoos that held so much meaning to the rings that rested on his fingers, many of which were gifts from you, some silver some gold, fingers intertwined with your own.

you took in the sight of his hair in a bun as well, a few loose braids framing his face making him look godlike.

you could feel your heartbeat flutter as you questioned how exactly you had gotten lucky enough to be with the man who sat in front of you.

lewis' hand trailed up from your thigh to gently grasp your arm, rubbing it softly, making you smile.

it was your way of reminding each other that you loved each other so much, when there were others around, since neither of you were really keen on pda. after all, as taylor swift had once said, "romance isn't dead if you keep it just yours"

the both of you were the definition of 'private, not secret' everyone knew you were together since about the beginning of 2020, and you two showed up at each other's races and shows, galas and awards shows. but it was a rare occassion where you were blatantly affectionate in public. you were shy, and lewis respected that and kept public displays of affection to hand holding and feather soft kisses after wins.

as alex and lily joined the six of you, you moved your chair closer to tiffany's, and lewis moved his closer to yours, so the two of them could sit as well, and lewis found himself reaching for your hands again, thumb tracing your knuckles and bringing your hand up for a quick kiss to your knuckles.

you couldn't help but flush at the chuckles from the others, while reaching out to gently rest your hand on his arm, while your other hand remained interlocked with his on his lap.

it was no secret that the both of you were absolutely head over heels for each other, and everyone knew it. they saw it in the way lewis' looked at you, as if you had hung the sun stars and moon in the sky, and how you looked at him, as if he was the softest sunset and the brightest sunrise.

they could see it in the way he spoke about you on the rare occasions he did, with nothing but awe and admiration for the woman he loved.

they could see it in the way you wrote about him in your songs, how you called him a gentleman in a world of boys, or how he was as handsome as a mansion with a view.

so when the camera panned to the both of you, showing the both of you gazing at each other with lovestruck gazes, eyes sparkling softy and sugar sweet smiles gracing your lips, and when the world champion was announced and lewis' name resonated on the speakers, it only felt right to press your lips to his.

your lips met in a sugar-sweet dance, a delicate blend of tenderness and warmth. it was a kiss that tasted like stolen moments and whispered promises, leaving a lingering sweetness on your mouths—a delightful confection of affection that resonated long after your lips parted.

his hand squeezed yours softly as he got up to get his prize.

you couldn't help the proud tears that sprung to your eyes as you watched him get up and accept the trophy for his eighth title, marking his place as a race in a league of his own.

everyone stood up as he made his way to the stage, and to your surprise, everyone stood up and clapped, and ginger spice even mouthed a sweet "congratulations!" your way.

as lewis began his speech, you couldn't help but snap a picture of him earning giggles from everyone around you.

"today, I stand before you not just as an individual but as someone profoundly indebted to the unwavering support and love of an extraordinary woman. my heart is brimming with gratitude as i attempt to express the depth of appreciation for the incredible person who has stood by my side through thick and thin.

to my dearest y/n,

In the rollercoaster of life, you have been my anchor, my steady compass guiding me through stormy seas. your unwavering presence has been the bedrock of my strength, and your love, the fuel that propels me forward.

in moments of joy, your laughter has been the melody that serenades my soul, making the highs even more euphoric. and in times of despair, your comforting embrace has been the sanctuary where my troubles find solace.

together, we've weathered storms, faced challenges, and celebrated triumphs. your belief in me has been a constant source of inspiration, pushing me to reach for the stars even when the night seemed impenetrable.

you, my love, deserve the glory of this moment just as much as I do, because without you pushing me to be the best, i wouldn't be here. thank you for being my confidante, my partner in crime, and my greatest supporter.

to the woman who has turned ordinary days into extraordinary memories, thank you for being the sunshine in my darkest hours and the reason for my brightest smiles"

as he ended his speech, you could feel tears dripping down your face and watery laughs from all around you, as carmen lily and tiffany all hugged you and wiped tears away from their eyes. you couldn't help the happy sobs leaving your lips, mouthing a quiet "i love you" to lewis, who was making his way back to your table.

as he approached, you couldn't help but kiss him again, hands gently resting on his chest as you kissed him deeply.

as the ceremony wrapped up and everyone began to get ready to leave, your hands remained interlocked, even as toto and susie suggested getting dinner with all the mercedes members present at the event.

you were content. you were happy. and you were oh so in love.

well, come and get it now,

when jake agreed to go bar hopping on a regular wednesday night with his friend group, he was not expecting the chain of events that would lead to where he was now. 

sure, he was hoping for a good time, especially since wednesdays were designated ‘dollar beers’ and the usually expensive alcoholic drinks were at a more accessible price. it was the perfect opportunity for broke college students to go out and get drunk while on a budget. 

that was why he did not put up much of a fight when jay let him know about their plan for the night, quickly coming to terms with the idea that he was going to have to show up to class horribly hungover. he knew no matter how many excuses he offered, jay was not going to take no for an answer. 

so, at 8 pm, jake took one last look at himself in the mirror, psyching himself up for what the night had prepared for him, before heading to jay’s place. 

come and get it now. 

“you made it.”

jay commented as soon as he propped the door to his apartment open, a satisfied smirk adorning his face. 

jake trailed behind his friend like a lost puppy, a bit anxious and painfully sober. once they reached the nicely decorated living room, the group was finally complete. 

by the look of it –if the others’ flushed cheeks were something to go by–, the night had already begun. 

his friends were chatting loudly, the sound of laughter and alcoholic beverages being passed around filled the otherwise neat area. the cold night air made him shudder as he joined the group, the smell of weed coming from the balcony making his lungs burn. 

baby, show me what you’re doing, 

before he knew it, jake found himself surrounded by sweaty bodies, the stuffy air enhancing the effect of the weed he had smoked earlier. the music blasting out of the multiple speakers scattered around the bar, the bass making his body feel numb. 

jake joined his friends, dancing with not a single care in the world, the concerns about school quickly slipping out of his intoxicated mind. 

it felt great to finally be able to relax for once. 

however, just as he was starting to enjoy the night, he somehow managed to make a fool of himself. 

“fuck,” jake yelp, utterly embarrassed. “i’m so sorry, i swear i didn’t mean to spill your drink!”

come and turn around. 

“you can make it up to me by getting me a new one?”

the sound of your melodic voice made his head tilt upwards, following the source, shame washing over his body when he got a look at you. 

you were hot. 

a little stunned by your pretty face, he struggled to say something. 

“o-of course!” he blurted out a little too loudly for comfort, and jake’s cheeks grew hot when you giggled at his awkwardness. 

we only met each other just the other day,

“i take it this is not your scene?” you wondered out loud, obviously trying to start a conversation with the cute boy. 

“uh, something like that,” he mumbled, scratching the back of his head, visibly nervous. “i don’t usually go out on weekdays, especially when i have class morning classes the next day.”

“i see,” you hummed, thinking about your own morning classes tomorrow. but who cared, right? have fun now and deal with the consequences later. 

“so, uh, what’s your program?” you smiled to yourself at his attempt at keeping the conversation alive, relieved to know he interested in you enough to engage with you.  

“chemistry.”

his eyebrows shot up at your words, impressed. 

“no way, i wasn’t expecting that.”

“yeah? what’s yours?”

“physics.”

you gasped loudly, feigning shock, and he smiled abashedly. 

“good thing i’m into nerds.”

but you already got me feeling some type of way. 

you were so bold with your words, so smooth with the way you flirted with him. your honey-like voice had him blindly agreeing with you, almost in a trance-like state. you could be asking him to trade his soul for a chicken nugget and he would instantly agree, no questions asked. 

the way you blinked at him, long lashes fluttering so innocently as your glazed over eyes stared straight through him, spiking up his heart rate. your body leaned closer with his every word, fingers toying with a loose strand of your silky hair in such an endearing way his fuzzy mind could not comprehend. 

it had to be illegal to be this attractive. 

and you were guilty as charged. 

now, if i could figure it out,

one thing led to another and soon your lips were on his plush ones, leaving a kiss that felt like a cup of hot chocolate in the winter. warm and sweet. 

jake was able to shake off the initial surprise and deepened the kiss. one hand found its way into the nape of your head, pulling you closer, and the other to the small of your back. his touch was hot and reassuring, allowing you to get lost in the feeling of his mouth on yours. 

your short dress rode up revealing more of your thighs as you reached for his broad, strong shoulders for support, your weight leaning on his athletic body. and to your delight, you could already feel the hardening bulge in his pants. 

he pulled away, his breathing uneven and lips swollen, appearing dazed. 

“wanna get out of here?”

i’d take you back to my house so we can meddle about. 

jake barely managed to lock the door before you were pushing him against it, arms going to wrap around his neck to bring him in for a kiss. your hungry lips on his, your hot body against him, the scent of your perfume. the combination of sensations overwhelming his senses and leaving him panting for air. 

he couldn’t get enough of you. 

jake noted to thank jay later for almost dragging him out of his house. 

your ministrations, the gentle but eager touch of your hands and your searing lips on his sensitive neck had jake struggling to keep up, far too aroused to think straight. his pants had become considerably tighter since he met you earlier. and he couldn’t help but push his hips into yours, searching for some much needed relief. 

the giggle you let out at his desperate attempt at humping you had a frustrated whimper almost escaping the poor boy. 

so pretty.

“aw, is my puppy getting impatient?” you asked in the most taunting tone, getting off on teasing him. 

“y/n, please, i need something,” jake pleaded, cock throbbing in his jeans. “anything.”

and who were you to deny such a polite boy?

somehow you both managed to stumble into his room, hands never leaving the other. 

‘cause it’s not just a figure of speech,

jake’s body fully sprawled on the bed trembled when you brought a hand to cup the tent in his jeans. his groans only grew louder, raw with desire as you slipped your hand under the fabric and made direct contact with his length. 

jake thought he was having a fever dream from how stupidly hot his body felt. each caress of your soft hands had him weak on the knees, hips bucking to follow your touch, not caring about how needy he seemed. 

your panties were drenched as you felt him up, mouth watering at the thought of his dick fucking your throat until you choked. 

but that could wait. what you needed right now was his mouth on your dripping core. 

you got me down on my knees. 

“fuck, please,” he whined, “let me taste you.”

jake looked at you from his place on the floor, looking all desperate to get his hands on you. you could see his pretty eyes shining even in the darkness, a glint of need letting you know just how much he wanted you. 

slowly, you lifted your dress to reveal your underwear, your fingers teasing the hem of the garment. 

he swallowed, his mouth uncomfortably dry. his own fingers itched to reach for you and get your panties off himself, too eager to get more of you to wait.

your eyes scanned the boy in front of you, eyebrows scrunched together, a bead of sweat dripping down his temple. despite your limited vision, you could easily make out the outline of his cock in his pants. you almost wanted to jump straight into business just to get a look, wondering what shade of pink it was.

key word: almost. 

“what’s wrong, puppy?” you teased, biting back a smirk. when he only huffed in response, you decided to push further. “speak up, sim, i asked you a question.”

his hard cock twitched from the confines of his jeans at your tone. 

you looked annoyed, tapping your foot impatiently as you waited for an answer. 

“i need you, please,” his words came out slurred, too horny to care. 

you nodded, raising a brow at him. “it wasn’t that hard now, was it?”

his body almost vibrated with excitement when you pulled your panties down your legs. you stepped closer to him once they hit the floor, and his eyes immediately shot to the discarded piece of clothing, breathing getting heavier when he found the wet patch at the crotch. 

among the wide range of traits you possessed, liar wasn’t one of them. the sight of him, on his knees, begging to please you, had you rubbing your thighs together. your neglected core dripping with arousal. 

“be a good pup and eat me out.”

jake perked up as soon as his brain processed your words, scooting closer without a care for his knees. he hummed when you gasped at the feeling of his tongue licking a stripe up your slit. 

it’s getting harder to breathe out. 

jake groaned when you pushed his head closer, his nose digging into your pussy and putting pressure on your clit. his hands immediately went to grab at your thighs, gripping them for dear life. 

he was enamoured with the way your hips bucked into his mouth, your plush lips letting moans escape. it was like music to his ears. 

girl, just scream it out,

jake could barely breathe but he didn’t care. all he could think about was the intoxicating scent of your arousal, how sweet you tasted on his tongue. he could feel a mixture of your juices and his saliva drip down his neck, and he felt like he was about to cum in his pants like a bitch in heat. 

his hips desperately humped the air, too engrossed in making you cum all over his face to feel embarrassed. your fingers tangled in his soft locks, tugging at the roots whenever his tongue swiped just right only egging him on to work harder. 

tell me what you’re thinking about. 

“j-jake,” you whined, feeling the knot in your stomach tightening at the speed of light. “don’t stop.”

bet, he thought. 

if the way your thighs were trembling around his head was something to go by, he knew you were close. 

feeling you fall apart just from his mouth only was driving him insane. he couldn’t wait to see you take his cock, velvety walls stretched around his thickness. he wanted to hear your sweet moans as you struggled to fit him whole, pussy too tight for such a big dick. 

hell, just the idea if it had jake eating you out like he would never get pussy ever again. his skilled tongue poked at your entrance, trying to push it as far as he could, relishing in the squelching sounds filling the room. 

“fuck,” he moan into your pussy when you pulled his hair a little harsher than before, the vibrations directly against your clit sending you over the edge. 

you swore your mind blanked out for a second there. your orgasm washed over you like a tsunami, leaving you light headed. your body convulsed as if you were experiencing a demonic possession first hand, hips humping jake’s face like a rabid dog, riding out your high. and if it weren’t for jake’s grip on you, you would’ve hit the floor. 

once you regained a hint of control over your body, you pushed his head away from your sensitive core. 

to your satisfaction, jake looked as equally as fucked out as you. his once pristine shirt was now clinging to his toned body due to the sweat, his dark hair disheveled and sticking to his forehead. his pupils were blown out, chest heaving up and down at a concerningly fast pace. 

you had him exactly how you liked men, utterly ruined. 

with a sly grin on your face, you pulled him back up on his feet by his shirt. before he could yelp, your lips crashed against his in a heated kiss. jake stumbled towards you, unintentionally pressing your body into the cold wall behind you.

his hands grabbed your hips to pull you impossibly closer, need to feel more of you. your fingers wandered back to his hair, playing with the strands of silky hair and hissing against your lips when you pulled a little too hard. 

his body felt like it had been lit on fire, the touch of his large hands almost burning you, leaving behind an invisible outline of his hand on your skin. the kiss you shared grew more passionate, more desperate with each passing moment, your tongues waltzing to the pace of your fast-beating hearts. 

although you were enjoying the heated exchange, you both needed more. 

no, i wanna see you undress now. 

you hastily removed your clothes, tossing them somewhere in the room. jake followed suit, matching your eagerness, ready to pounce on you the moment he got the chance. 

soon you found yourselves all over each other once again, hands touching and feeling up the other’s body, lips finding each other with a growing intensity. 

jake placed you on his bed, looking down at you like you just escaped his wildest dreams. 

i wanna hear you confess now. 

“i want you to fuck me, jake.”

夜が明けるまで踊りな

don't blame it on the rain warnings — none. word count — 2.0k

next.

it certainly is a little disappointing to be missing out on the sports festival. you've been hearing and seeing the excitement from the full-time students on your way to class all week. unfortunately, part-timers like you don't get the privilege to participate—which makes complete sense and you aren't one to complain, but nobody ever said anything about yearning.

you don't really know if this party can make up for the lack of sports festival, but the fact that you're already here doesn't leave you room for second thoughts. although you have plenty of second thoughts. but the fact that it's pouring outside doesn't leave you room to consider booking it home. although you wish you could just book it home.

to your surprise, the bubbliest kid in class—and maybe even the whole school—charmed his way into having the school faculty let him use one of the gyms for a small event to compensate. you decided, at the time, that it wasn't a terrible choice. if it was a crazy idea from the loud, friendly classmate that raises everyone's spirits in the evening, then it couldn't be too bad. and it isn't too bad; board games, physical activities, music, and non-alcoholic beverages. you have nothing to lose.

but you've still lost all five of your friends in the process.

you knew in advance one of them couldn't make it, so you can't sulk over that, but the other four are a different story. one is busy making out with someone, the other is passed out on the stands, the other said, "don't talk to me, i need to get this project done tonight," and your last hope has issues with the rain. so you lean back against the wall, huddled in your own little corner, and switch back and forth between the same three apps to pass the time.

despite being on the other side of the gym and cross-legged on the floor, you have a decently good view of the stage. no wonder everyone is having an absolute blast. the moment that pink bundle of energy grabs a microphone along with his brothers, every person in the room willingly dances along like their lives depend on it.

you wish you could join, but being abandoned and having no one to dance with make it very much not worth the effort. your shoulders sag and a sigh falls from your lips. almost mockingly, the song ends at the same time as your phone warns you you're running low on battery.

there's a silence that floods the gym for a brief moment as they switch from karaoke back to regular music. you lock your phone and curiously look up towards the laptop in charge of musicalizing the night. as if on cue, Maruyama Reo's face brightens up with a beam. you watch him hop down off the stage and break into a sprint towards you.

no, not towards you, surely, you've barely spoken to the guy. the only conversations you've had were about trigonometry and the Meiji era and all academic-related topics (mostly because he's tried to bribe you into doing his homework for him, but free tickets to Club Paradox don't really do it for you). yet here Reo is, swerving past people and almost crashing into you, barely pushing his hands against the wall to keep himself from kicking your shins.

you stare up at him with a raised brow as he hovers above you, grinning down at you and giggling. "hey!" he crouches in front of you, stabilizing himself with his palms on your knees. "[Name]-chan!" he wishes he could keep his excitement in check, but he's been waiting all night and the only thing you've been doing is sit here by yourself.

it's still taking you more than a moment to process what is happening. this is the Maruyama Reo, the sweet, adorable kid that everyone knows and loves—except for those that find him incredibly annoying and avoid him at all costs. sure, you've talked, but you didn't expect to grab his attention tonight.

you smile back anyway, polite and friendly. he is the one who put all of this together after all. "hey, Maruyama, great job with the wh—"

"Reo," he interrupts instantly. you can feel his fingers twitch on your knees.

"sorry?"

"call me Reo."

in all honesty, you weren't expecting that either, but you can't say you're surprised by now. you've noticed he's not one to use his family name; you admit you've wondered why more times than necessary. it makes you chuckle, "okay, then, Reo, great idea putting this whole thing together for us part-timers."

you see the childlike grin on his face morph into a smirk that knows a little too much. he leans closer, eyes narrowing like he can read right through you—and maybe he can. with a finger poking your cheek, he calls you out, "your face says otherwise." his signature giggle swims into your ears, but it holds a bit more mischief in its tune.

"oh," is your only defense, "yeah, sorry, i just…" can't sincerely come up with any excuses. not for someone like Reo. you offer him a sheepish, apologetic smile, "you know, came here with my friends and they dropped like flies." your eyes stray to the stands briefly as you mutter, "some more than others…" it makes you wonder if someone spiked the sodas.

but Reo's laughter has your attention back on him immediately. "so what?"

you don't know when it happened, but he's completely invaded your personal bubble. he's trusting all his body weight on your knees, the coolness of his rings seeping through your clothes, and he smells so dizzyingly unique that you make a mental note to ask for his perfume whenever your breath isn't stuck in your throat. his eyes are almost glowing under the colorful lighting. his hands feel so warm.

"are you just gonna stay here sitting in a corner? why not join the dance floor?" he pushes and prods and prods and pushes. each question he asks has you wondering if you're stupid for making the poor guy come over to force you off your feet. there's still that shit-eating smirk on his face that promises you he's got you all figured out. "i saw someone ask you for a dance, why did you reject 'em?" 

your brows rise in surprise. you blink at him owlishly for a moment. then you mutter, "…not my type."

"am i your type?" Reo considers, briefly, maybe he shouldn't be itching to grab your wrist so much. sure, you seem dreadfully bored here, but if you wanted to do something about it, you already would have. maybe he's only pretending you need him right now.

he sees it in the way your eyes cast down. you don't want to look at him and admit his party was a bad decision on your part. "i meant… the dozens of people on the dance floor. not my type."

but he chooses to ignore the voice in the back of his head. "let's go somewhere else, then." he gives it a second so you can understand what he's saying.

Reo looks at you with a genuine gaze that sparkles so endearingly, and the blunt openness of his intentions disarms you instantly.

before you can react, he's already tugging on your arm and hoisting you to your feet. you follow after him with nothing but unadulterated trust, because no matter where he takes you, you figure it'll be a billion times better than wasting the night away on the gym's floor.

but then he bee-lines for the doors and you seem to come back to your senses. "woah, hold on, it's raining, Reo!" you holler above the music, trying to yank your arm back. the cold autumn air slaps you across the face when he swings the doors open.

"do you care if your clothes get wet?!" he yells back at you, now both hands gripping your wrist so he can pull you outside. you can see his clothes soaking in the rain, freezing water trickling down his arms and onto your skin.

you're not sure if you care about your clothes getting wet or not, but Reo doesn't give you the chance to answer. the rain is already showering down on you as he drags you barefooted to the yard. it's so, so cold, and it's pouring hard. you feel it beating down on you, feet splashing on the puddles hidden on the grass. your clothes are weighing you down, you're getting water in your mouth when you try to speak, and you can barely see Reo's face—not only because it's dark, but because you're struggling to keep your eyes open.

it's almost like he can see the hesitation in your face. "how do you like it out here?!" he tugs on your wrist again, his fingers sliding down to yours. it's an invitation, wordlessly asking you to join him because this is the richest, most meaningful way to live and he wants to share it with you right now.

"what are we doing exactly?"

"getting a better dance floor for you," Reo laughs giddily, and you still can't see very well, but you can make out his bright grin clearly. "come on!"

the music blasting from the gym faintly reaches your ears, sounding muffled. it doesn't deter Reo from pulling you into him to start swinging you around. he holds tightly onto your left hand, dancing to the upbeat song and hoping you'll learn the steps quickly. you don't mind at all and let him be the helping hand to soothe your discomforts. he spins you as best as he can, but you humor him, ducking under his arm and playing along.

it feels like he doesn't want to let go of your hand at all costs—not until he rolls himself into you and wraps himself up in your arm. his cackles ring above the rain pounding in your ears. he cranes his neck back to grin at you, "you're supposed to let go there." it feels like he doesn't want to, but he knows precisely how and when to do so.

you hadn't realized your grip on his fingers was so tight; you hadn't realized you were holding him at all. if you loosen up for a moment, the rain would make him slip away from you. still, you let go as if he'd bitten you, a small "oh!" exclamation tumbling from your tongue.

Reo acts quickly. his hand stays close to yours as he turns, then he snatches it back into his grasp. he keeps dancing with you and your feet have grown so comfortable to his rhythm that the steps come naturally to you by now. you spin, he rolls into you, you let go, and your hands are back together again just as quickly.

"you're getting the hang of it!" he cheers excitedly. if the grin on his face could grow any bigger, you think it would. 

because it's true; you are getting the hang of it and it's so much more fun than you could have imagined. part of you thinks this is stupid, that you're letting Maruyama Reo's sweetness clog up your senses and make you fall for this. when his free hand slides down to your hip, you let him pull you closer without complaints.

Reo makes you dance along with him under the rain until you can't feel your feet. you're more than glad your friends ditched you at this party.

Prompt: “Are you okay?”

Post 7.21

Sylvie has Olivia to blame for this new…feeling she’s developed for Casey. It’s entirely inappropriate and ridiculous, but her friend had to plant the seed.

Before, Sylvie’s never ever looked at Matt that way. He’s freaking Casey. Gabby’s ex husband and the same man she’s known for nearly half a decade. It never even crossed her mind until the stupid double date she set up.

Olivia was supposed to be the one crushing (or at least feeling) on Matt Casey. Not her. She thought they’d be a perfect pair, but turns out she just set up the worst turn of events in history.

If she’s dishing out blame, a little of it has to go to Matt. Yes, Olivia did plant the idea, but she didn’t buy it right away. She thought her friend was crazy, but then Matt started looking at her.

He’s holding eye contact longer and lingering and he’s not making it easy to bury whatever this feeling is. Something feels like it shifted on his end, but she’s probably reaching. She’s probably inventing a ridiculous narrative and there is nothing there.

There’s nothing there. It’s merely a pique per se. It’ll go away as soon as it blossomed and life will be okay.

Until then, she’s made a vow to ignore Olivia’s spin class invitations and also avoid Matt.

She thinks that’s how the problem began. It’s true that they’ve been spending one on one time more than ever. The new closeness has simply confused her. If she keeps distance, she can uncross the wires and go back to thinking of Matt as Casey.

He’s just the Captain at 51.

Her plan to dodge him is put on pause because they have unfinished business. When she walks into Molly’s after stalling in her car, Matt’s roman candle burn isn’t bandaged.

That’s not really the issue. She knows it’s been a few days so it’s okay to stop reapplying bandages, but she knows him. He doesn’t take care of himself and she needs one last long look to ensure it’s not infected.

She’s just doing her due diligence as a paramedic. It’s simply work.

Casey looks away from his conversation with Severide, waving her over.

See? Gestures like that make this really really hard.

She inhales a large gust of air and then joins her friends.

“Hey. Haven’t seen you around here in awhile,” Casey comments.

She’s been avoiding him for this very reason. He’s the reason she’s keeping her distance and he noticed. Why did he notice?

No. Nope. She’s sure he’d notice anyone dodging Molly’s. All of 51 is usually there every night.

“Yeah. Just been busy,” she fibs.

Stella dries a glass behind the bar. “What would you like to drink, girl?”

Alcohol is a bad idea. It loosens her lips and she’s not going to get caught blabbing these new developments.

“Uh, just a club soda,” she replies.

Severide wrinkles his nose in distaste. “Are you quitting alcohol or something?”

No, she’s quitting these awkward feelings. She’s so nervous she’s convinced everyone at the bar can read this secret right off her.

She’s going to check Casey’s burn, find Cruz to busy her time and then leave.

“I’m just not feeling it tonight is all.”

Stella hands her the non-alcoholic beverage while chastising her kind of ex-boyfriend.

Foster pops up next to her and she’s convinced this can’t get worse. Of all people, Emily will be able to read her like a damn book.

She needs to leave or at least pull it together. She sips the soda.

Matt frowns a little, watching her every move which again, does not help. He needs to stop caring.

“Are you okay?” He asks. “Your hand is shaking.”

Oh my god! She needs to leave. This is humiliating and everyone is going to know if she doesn’t pull herself together.

It’s freaking Matt Casey. She shouldn’t feel this nervous around him.

She diverts the conversation away from her physical symptoms of this new…feeling. “I should probably check your burn one last time to make sure it’s not infected.”

“It’s fine.”

“Casey, let me verify that, please?” She requests. Yes, she wants to ensure he’s fine, but she also wants to bury this whole weird week away. She can’t do that when his injury is still on her mind.

He complies and rotates on the stool so she has a full view. She barely inches forward and doesn’t make any attempt to touch the skin around his pulse point this time. She only needs visual confirmation.

It should be quick and easy, but it’s not.

Foster knocks her hip into hers. She’s half convinced her ambo partner somehow knows and it’s an intentional act because the momentum shoves her right into Matt.

She stumbles in between his legs, hands pressed between their chests. She’s bracketed between his thighs and blushing harder than she ever has when his hand lands on the small of her back.

The universe is so cruel.

She blinks hard, swallowing the lump in her throat. She thought the intense eye contact in the bunk room was bad, but now she’s millimeters away from his face.

Everyone in the bar has to know by now that she’s crushing (or whatever) on him. In any other instance, she’d find this situation awkward, sure, but not like this. Normally, she’d pull away with a laugh and a joke, but she’s paralyzed against him.

She expects several different pairs of eyes on them, but Matt’s the only one looking at her.

He laughs a little. “Woah, you okay?”

No. No. No. She’s not. Something has changed and she’s not okay.

She has to go. She can’t stay wrapped in his arm another second even if the tiny, deranged part of her wants to.

Sylvie tries to step away casually, but she reels back so hard that she smacks into Severide who is now between her and Foster.

“Geez, Brett,” he comments.

“S-Sorry,” she stutters. She averts her eyes away from Matt who is still looking at her curiously. “I gotta go talk to Cruz about you know, room dog stuff. I’ll catch you all later.”

With that pathetic lie, she snags her glass and beelines towards where Cruz and Chloe are sitting in the back.

She’ll make a fake conversation so no one at the bar thinks she lied and then leave.

She’s doubling her efforts to avoid Matt.

Unleashing the Power of Engagement: Tips for Hosting Memorable Corporate Events — Black Riders Production

Corporate events are a great way to connect with clients, employees, and business partners. But hosting a successful corporate event is not an easy task. One of the biggest challenges that event planners face is keeping the attendees engaged throughout the event. If the attendees are not engaged, they will lose interest and the event will become boring. In this blog post, we will discuss some tips that can help you unleash the power of engagement and host a memorable corporate event.

1. Set Clear Objectives

The first step in hosting a successful corporate event is to set clear objectives. You need to know why you are hosting the event and what you want to achieve from it. Are you launching a new product, building relationships with clients, or rewarding employees for their hard work? Once you have identified the objectives, you can plan the event accordingly and ensure that the attendees are engaged throughout.

2. Create a Theme

Creating a theme for your corporate event can make it more memorable and engaging. The theme can be related to your company’s mission, vision, or values. For example, if your company is focused on sustainability, you can host an event that promotes eco-friendliness. The theme should be reflected in the décor, activities, and giveaways.

3. Choose the Right Venue

Choosing the right venue is crucial for hosting a successful corporate event. The venue should be easily accessible, spacious, and have all the necessary amenities. It should also be in line with the theme of the event. For example, if you are hosting a beach-themed event, you can choose a venue that is close to the beach or has a beachfront view.

4. Plan Engaging Activities

Engaging activities are key to keeping attendees interested and entertained. The activities should be interactive, fun, and in line with the theme of the event. You can plan team-building activities, workshops, games, or even a photo booth. The activities should be designed to promote interaction between attendees and help them connect with each other.

5. Provide Delicious Food and Beverages

Food and beverages are an important part of any event. Make sure that you provide delicious food and beverages that are in line with the theme of the event. If you are hosting a formal event, you can provide a sit-down meal. If it’s a casual event, you can provide finger foods or a buffet. You can also provide a variety of beverages, including alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.

6. Use Technology

Technology can help you engage attendees and make your event more memorable. You can use social media to promote the event and create a buzz. You can also use mobile apps to help attendees navigate the event and access information. Another option is to use virtual reality or augmented reality to provide an immersive experience for attendees.

7. Giveaways

Giving away branded merchandise can help attendees remember the event and your company. You can provide giveaways that are in line with the theme of the event. For example, if you are hosting a beach-themed event, you can provide sunscreen, beach towels, or sunglasses. The giveaways should be useful and memorable.

8. Follow Up

Following up with attendees after the event is crucial for building long-term relationships. You can send a thank-you email, survey, or even a personalized message. This will show attendees that you value their attendance and feedback. You can also use this opportunity to promote your company’s products or services.

Conclusion

Hosting a successful corporate event requires careful planning and execution. By setting clear objectives, creating a theme, choosing the right venue, planning engaging activities, providing delicious food and beverages, using technology, giving away branded merchandise, and following up with attendees, you can unleash the power of engagement and host a memorable event.

Having a drink together (#CypherArtWeek2022 Day 7)

Events in the VALORANT Protocol varied. Sometimes, the events would be really fancy where the agents decorated the whole living room and kitchen area, bought expensive food and beverages, and wore glamorous outfits, but sometimes it would be very simple where they would cook their own food, wear the most comfortable clothes they had, or even just gather around the fireplace near the beach area while drinking alcohol or non-alcoholic beverage.

15th May and they gathered in a small cottage near to the beach in their headquarters to celebrate international family day, which Raze were suggesting. Brimstone was against it at first, since he was the one who set the no-fraternization rule in the protocol, but he gave up when the youngsters kept asking his permission to celebrate the day, saying that it would just be them enjoying their free time together by chatting, eating, and drinking which was actually true because they did just that on the d-day.

When Cypher heard about this event that they would celebrate together, the man felt a sting in his heart as he should be celebrating it with his beloved wife, Nora, and their little one. This day was something that he could never celebrate with his real family.

"Cypher."

"Hm?" Sage came to his side with a glass of tea, his expensive tea, which Killjoy asked him to bring some. She gave the glass to him and he received it with a smile, even though she couldn't really see it.

"My thanks."

Both of them were pretty far away from the others, especially the youngsters who were busy playing games, running around the beach, and drinking canned soda. Sage, who was beside him, looked away in understanding when Cypher opened a part of his mask, drinking the tea in silence.

"Tonight is lively, isn't it?"

"Yes, I can agree to that."

"What do you think will happen after we save the world?" She gazed at the other agents from far away. "Will everyone go their own way?"

"Maybe. We don't have a reason to make them stay."

"I will surely miss this." Sage smiled. "The VALORANT Protocol is the closest of what I can call as a family."

"A family, huh ...." Cypher closed his mask and sighed, remembering all his past interactions with the agents since he first joined the VALORANT Protocol.

They bickered with each other. They laughed together. They supported each other for one goal, to protect this earth and prevent the same thing he experienced happened to other people. Cypher was glad he accepted Brimstone's invitation here.

Brimstone nagging voice and the laughter from the younger agents and Breach could be heard.

"I'll definitely miss this too."

Behind the Scenes of La Qchara’s Brick and Mortar and Mobile Food Truck

What was originally a simple coffee shop in Melrose, Massachusetts is now both brick and mortar and an on the go food truck. Owners Lorenzo and Emily Tenreiro of La Qchara explain their journey through restaurant hospitality.

Emily Tenreiro (left) and her husband Lorenzo Tenreiro (right) at the Crane Estate in Ipswich Ma featuring their sister store Tahpas 529.

This couple had a shared love for bonding with others through food. They had started out with a tight budget and decided to open a small cafe in Melrose, Massachusetts called Coffee Tea and Me.

“A couple years in, we had an opportunity to open up a second location, which was where the La Qchara concept came from. In Spanish La Qchara means ‘A large spoon, used for eating.’ We wanted to offer the general public some of the food that we cook in our own house, hence using a large spoon,” said owner Emily Tenreiro. “We wanted to capture going back to my husband's roots from Venezuela. We offer a lot of his mothers recipes, and items that are traditional from Venezuela and South America in general.”

The signature logo of La Qchara resembles the love for food and eating healthy, hearty meals. Each location has its signature spoon wall (bottom) which captures the values held within.

Stack of beautiful menus filled with amazing homemade meals cooked with all fresh ingredients and made with love.

In 2020, La Qchara’s mobility began to be in route. The Covid-19 pandemic was surprisingly a great opportunity for the couple.

“There was a school during the pandemic that opened up a unit to feed people out of the mobile unit because they decided they were going to renovate their cafeteria due to no student use,” Tenreiro said. “After they were done with the mobile unit, we inquired about it, it was for sale, and we bought it. We are now serving our awesome tacos, burritos, arepas, and rice bowls on the go.”

This amazing opportunity has brought La Qchara huge success out of a depressing time period in everyone's lives. This couple was able to bring long lasting memories and joy on the go to their strong customer base. The food truck serves large events, parties, graduations, food festivals, taco tuesday at a local dispensary, and MIT open space in Cambridge, Ma.

La Qchara restaurant opens its door with welcoming arms. This brick and mortar restaurant encapsules Central and South American cuisine. They offer gluten free and vegetarian options of coffee, smoothies, puddings, tacos, arepas, burritos, and many more.

Emily and Lorenzo share great pride around their employees. “They are passionate, energetic, and knowledgeable about the menu and the culture we share. They are there to break down the menu to customers and teach them about each item” said the couple.

Two beautifully welcoming employees ready to answer any questions. These bars offer a long range of drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. This restaurant also offers partnerships with Endicott College as a chance for students to use their off campus flex dollars to enjoy their delicious cuisines.

The majority of the hospitality business is positive, but there are downsides to owning a food truck. Tenreiro discusses the logistical challenges that running a truck has.

“The downfalls are things that people don’t always understand, " she said. “Our truck has a propane tank, it has to be refilled. There is a generator if the place you're at doesn’t have electricity, you rely on your generator. If your generator goes, you have to know what to do to fix it.”

When asked about what her advice would be to someone who is interested in starting their own food truck journey, she simply stated, “The best thing to do is find a niche, in which you can separate yourself from the other food trucks.” She goes on to emphasize the importance of trial and error with the truck surrounding the customization of the equipment, location of everything in the truck, and building your brand based on your own values. Tenreiro sighed, “We initially had a fryer on our truck and we quickly realized that was a terrible idea. Driving with the hot oil is a recipe for disaster.”

She takes a lot of consideration into the practicality of the truck, the safety of herself and her employees, and disposing of the resources used.

Resourcing La Qchara’s food truck is easier than most. The advantage of having a brick and mortar location comes in help as Tenreiro and her team prep and heat the food for events in the kitchen of their stores. She said, “Our truck is only a holding and serving unit.” The truck has its own steam table which its only purpose is to hold and keep food warm until served.

The food truck has grasped all of the strong values the couple wanted the public to perceive them as. “Food trucks generally have a very happy vibe, because where you end up going is usually a celebration” she said. La Qchara’s website shares some of their core values, “We believe that healthy, hearty food is the key to a happier life and from the first bite, you’ll understand why.” Providing healthy, hearty food on wheels has empowered the couple in many ways.

Elevate Your Outdoor Experience: A Guide to Perfect Picnics

Who doesn’t love a picnic? The sun is shining, the food is laid out beautifully, and the laughter of friends fills the air. With a well-planned Picnic Setup, you can transform any ordinary outing into a memorable event. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a sunny day, having a Luxury Picnic Hamper and delicious Vegetarian Party Platters can elevate your outdoor experience to a new level.

But where do you start? Let’s dive into the essentials of creating a perfect picnic that will leave your guests talking about it long after it’s over. From choosing the right location to curating a stunning spread, I’ve got you covered.

What Makes a Picnic Special?

You might wonder, what’s the big deal about a picnic? It’s more than just food in the park; it’s about creating an experience. Here are some aspects that make picnics special:

Connection with Nature: Enjoying good food outdoors can be a refreshing break from our busy lives.

Social Interaction: Picnics are often about sharing moments with friends and family, creating bonds that last.

Memories in the Making: Those spontaneous laughter and shared stories can become cherished memories.

So, whether you’re planning a romantic date or a fun-filled family gathering, consider these tips to enhance your picnic setup.

Setting Up Your Picnic: The Essentials

Creating the perfect picnic setup involves thoughtful planning. Here are key elements to consider:

1. Choosing the Right Location

Selecting the right spot can make or break your picnic. Consider the following:

Parks: Local parks often have picnic tables and green spaces perfect for lounging.

Gardens: A private garden offers intimacy and beautiful scenery.

Beaches: For a breezy vibe, beaches can provide a lovely backdrop.

2. Preparing Your Luxury Picnic Hamper

A luxury picnic hamper is not just a basket; it’s an experience. Here’s what to include:

Gourmet Foods: Think artisan cheeses, freshly baked bread, and seasonal fruits.

Beverages: Include drinks like sparkling water, wines, or even non-alcoholic options for a varied choice.

Utensils: Don't forget cutlery, plates, glasses, and napkins. A mix of disposable and reusable options can cater to different preferences.

3. Curating Vegetarian Party Platters

Nothing brings people together like good food. Here are ideas for vegetarian party platters:

Cheese Board: A selection of cheeses, crackers, and fruits.

Veggie Platters: Fresh seasonal vegetables with dips like hummus and guacamole.

Wraps and Sandwiches: Assorted vegetarian wraps and sandwiches can be crowd-pleasers.

Salads: Quinoa salad or a refreshing cucumber salad for a healthy touch.

4. Creating a Comfy Ambiance

Comfort is key for enjoying your picnic. Consider these elements:

Picnic Blankets: Bring a large, comfy blanket—red and white gingham is classic, but feel free to choose your style.

Cushions: To enhance comfort, throw in some cushions for added coziness.

Decor: Fresh flowers in a glass vase can brighten up your setup.

The Ideal Picnic Menu

Creating the perfect menu can be daunting. Here’s a sample of what to include in your picnic hamper:Dish TypeSuggestionsStartersHummus and veggie sticksMain CourseMediterranean wraps and quinoa saladSidesCheese platter with artisan crackersDessertsSeasonal fruit tarts and chocolate browniesBeveragesSparkling water, wine, or homemade lemonade

Set the Mood: Play some background music with a portable speaker for a relaxing vibe.

Engaging Activities to Enjoy

Don’t let the food be the only highlight! Here are some fun activities to include:

Games: Pack some classic picnic games like frisbee or badminton.

Photo Ops: Encourage everyone to take pictures. Create a picnic photo wall or encourage selfies.

Story Time: Share anecdotes or funny memories to keep the laughter rolling.

A Personal Touch: My Favourite Picnic Experience

I remember one sunny afternoon when I organised a picnic for my closest friends. We chose a picturesque park, set up our picnic with a luxury picnic hamper, and laid out a variety of vegetarian party platters.

The Newest Trends in Food and Drink for Events

In recent years, the landscape of event catering has transformed significantly, reflecting broader culinary trends and evolving guest expectations. As we move into a new era of gatherings, it's essential to stay updated on the latest trends in food and drink that can elevate any event.

1. Sustainable Sourcing

Sustainability is at the forefront of many event planners' minds. Attendees increasingly prefer food and drink options that are locally sourced and ethically produced. This trend not only supports local farmers and businesses but also reduces carbon footprints. Caterers are now offering menus that highlight seasonal produce, plant-based dishes, and eco-friendly packaging, making sustainability both delicious and responsible.

2. Interactive Food Stations

Gone are the days of static buffets. Interactive food stations are gaining popularity, allowing guests to engage with the culinary experience. From build-your-own taco bars to gourmet popcorn stations, these setups encourage creativity and cater to various dietary preferences. They also serve as a social focal point, encouraging mingling and conversation.

3. Global Flavors

As the world becomes more interconnected, so does our palate. Event menus are increasingly featuring global cuisine, with flavors and dishes from around the world. Think Korean BBQ sliders, Moroccan spiced couscous, or Indian-inspired street food. This trend not only offers diversity but also caters to the adventurous eater, making events memorable.

4. Non-Alcoholic Alternatives

The rise of the mindful drinking movement has led to a surge in creative non-alcoholic options. Guests are looking for sophisticated mocktails and alcohol-free beverages that don’t compromise on flavor. From botanical-infused drinks to non-alcoholic wines and beers, event planners are curating impressive drink menus that appeal to all preferences.

5. Personalized Dining Experiences

Customization is key in today’s event catering. Personalized menus that consider dietary restrictions and individual tastes are becoming the norm. Whether it's a vegan, gluten-free, or keto-friendly option, ensuring that every guest feels catered to enhances the overall experience.

6. Elevated Presentation

Visual appeal plays a crucial role in dining. Events are now incorporating stunning presentations, from artfully arranged charcuterie boards to edible centerpieces. The aesthetic not only delights the eyes but also enhances the overall dining experience, making food a focal point of the event.

In conclusion, as we navigate the ever-evolving world of event catering, embracing these trends can lead to unforgettable experiences for guests. By prioritizing sustainability, interactivity, and personalization, event planners can create dynamic food and drink offerings that leave a lasting impression.

Understanding Mobile Bar Hire Price

Now let’s talk about what you might expect to pay for a mobile bar service. The mobile bar hire price can vary based on several factors:
