When Buddie go dating!

Look the maroon blazer from the sneak peek had me spiralling hard last night so I decided to take a look at Eddie And Buck when they try dating because as I said in my other post - Eddie wearing a shade of red in connection with a first date - doesn’t bode well for the relationship!!!

Eddie

If we went with the very strict definition of a first date then the only ones we’d have are Ana and the new one, however I’ve included a couple of other instances that I think re also first date adjacent enough to count!

In chronological order we have

2x04

I’ve included this one because when we have Eddie rocking up to Bucks to ‘help Maddie move - its important to remember that at this point Buck doesn’t know Eddie is still married to Shannon. Eddie thinks Buck has set him up on a date when Buck says he lied about helping Maddie move - if it was that kind of set up it wasn’t going to end well!

2x10

This one is a two parter - Eddie worrying about hooking up with Shannon and letting her back into Christophers life - worrying about essentially dating her again and if its what is best for Chris.

followed up by Chris telling Eddie what his Christmas wish is - to have his mother back - and Eddie therefore deciding to let Shannon back in. I know this isn’t technically a first date (either scene) but it is the moment that the relationship is rekindled properly - the moment we see Eddie make the decision to date her again - for Chris.

4x06

first date with Ana (need I say more!!)

6x14

And now this date non date where Eddie was going to let her down gently but she beats him to the punch!

Eddie doesn’t wear maroon or burgundy all that often. We get a couple connected with the fight club arc and the only other times we see Eddie in maroon/burgundy are in familial moments - seeing Chris off to summer camp or when Buck comes over in 6x12 - its not a colour he wears often.

Buck

Then we have Buck. who doesn’t wear maroon or burgundy on first dates but he does wear black and the same thing happens - they don’t go well for him or the relationships don’t go well.

1x06

He’s wearing a black tie with his suit for his date with Abby and we all know how that ended up!

1x09

This is a second attempt at a first date so I’m including it - it also doesn’t end very well

2x08

His first date with Ali sees him in a black knit polo. I haven’t included his hook ups with Taylor that precede this - because they are just that hook-ups - they are not an intention to date, they are spontaneous things that happen and Taylor doesn’t want anything more at this point even if Buck would’ve!

4x07

Eddies dating Ana so Buck starts dating to - this one with Veronica goes super well for him!!! He’s wearing a black jacket during the date and we then don’t ee him in it after the date is over and he runs into her again.

4x08

Taylor still wants to just hook-up but Buck thinks he’s on a double date - a detail he didn’t mention to Taylor. this ‘date’ also goes really well for him!! Buck is wearing a black button up/down shirt (I can’t remember which it is) 

6x13

And then we have Poker date - where Buck is wearing a black shirt again Buck thinks its just going to be him and Eddie going out and playing a bit of poker - very date like! Only then Julie Rosen is there and things spiral outwards from then on. Buck has a great time winning etc. but the way the script plays out it reads like Buck expected a date of some sort and he thinks he misunderstood the assignment! this black shirt burgundy blazer being followed by Eddie in the same outfit to a date that his date makes into a note date is making me cackle!

So there we have it. I’m very much expecting any further dates Eddie goes on to involve him wearing maroon or burgundy and any Buck goes in to involve black.

When we see them go on an actual first date together - I think we’ll see them in colours closer to those we see them in around each other in everyday environments - so a combination of green and blue, and possibly some cream or yellow, but no white (on Buck) or black or red. 

[kdramaxoxo]

Omg. Thank you!

I saw your repost/tags about The secret life of my secretary. So I started watching it. I haven’t had so much fun watching a kdrama in a while.

Do Min ik… yum! Last time I saw that actor was in Call it love. What a 180! I love it.

That drama is one of my faves!! It has that silly and soft kdrama feel that I just love. The hand-washing scene? CHEF'S KISS.

Also i miss Veronica Park-ee-ay-yo for ever and ever.

any book recs?

SO MANY OMG ill try to recommend some non-booktok/not mainstream series and books.

ill go by genres:

first my favourite book series in the world and forever my favourite book series is the percy jackson series <333 idc thay its for kids it’s so fun and emotional and entertaining i love it. has my all time favourite fictional couple and fictional character (percy and percabeth)

fantasy:

the cruel prince series (holly black; YA), the political intrigue and character development in this series is so good! also has one of my favourite protagonists and book couple :)

falling kingdoms series (morgan rhodes; YA), again more political intrigue and it is a bit slow at first but the plot picks up. also this has multiple povs!!

lost boy (christina henry; YA/NA?), MADE ME CRY AND IDEK WHY. retelling of peter pan but in captain hooks pov (he used to be one of peters lost boys). finished it in one night

storm and fury (jennifer l. armentrout; YA), probably the only series from her ill read. really like the main character and romance :) did not read the last book tho if im being honest LMAO

poison study series (maria v. snyder; YA ish? leaning towards NA high fantasy), i ADORED the premise of this book and rlly enjoyed the characters, world building and plot. the romance is subtle but is there and it’s all around a really interesting and immersive read.

dystopian:

all these monsters duology (amy tintera; YA), i rlly adore the main characters and the romantic subplot🫶🫶

angelfall series (susan ee), ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED AND FUN DYSTOPIANS !! love the female mc + love the male lead + made me cry + angels = perfect. the romance in this was also so cute

mystery:

malice (keigo higashino; adult) so SO clever and hands down my favourite mystery book. if you like smart, nuanced mysteries that leave you guessing at every turn then this is the one!

the 7 deaths of evelyn hardcastle (stuart turton; adult). this book is my favourite stand-alone of all time and it is so unique, SOOO clever, and so fun. it’s basically a time-loop, clue-style, body-swapping murder mystery that i guarantee you won’t be able to guess the plot twist of.

the word is murder (anthony horowitz; adult), super cool concept that is executed well (in my opinion), enjoyed the narration and the actual mystery! unlikeable deuteragonist tho

the inmate (frieda mcfadden; adult), had me stressed out the entire book🧍🏻‍♀️ also had another plot twist i did NOT see coming at the very very end.

basically anything agatha christie, queen of mystery novels, but mostly: and then there was none, and any hercule poirot novel

contemporary romance:

y’all i don’t rlly like contemporary romance but kulti, the wall of winnipeg is me, wait for it, and lukov with love (all by mariana zapata) are very good!! they are slowburn romances and HEALTHY (!!!!!!!!) relationships.

historical fiction:

veronica speedwell series (deanna raybourn; YA), a badass lepidopterist, a hot grumpy taxidermist, a setting in victorian london, murder mysteries, and BANTER !!!! what else do you need?

stalking jack the ripper series (kerri maniscalco; YA). basically all that above except forensic scientists^^^ this series also has one of my favourite book couples ever and is overall incredibly entertaining and clever.

classics:

the iliad and the odyssey🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶 (homer LMAO)

ANYWAY this was a lot but i hope i helped :) i love romance but mostly as a subplot because i enjoy plot-driven novels more (especially fantasy and mystery). some of these do center a bit on romance tho so if that’s what ur looking for then please feel free to check them out!

RM has different potions she can use, her little familiars have abilities the cat can like travel shadows the crow can multiply but I haven’t really pinned down the owl? plus she’s got the broom to fly

izzy has gears but I’m kinda reworking her powers so she’s just got her gears for now, oh and springs on er shoes to jump/fly

patt has toon abilities basic stuff lol 4 wall breaking hammer space rubber hose stretching stuff etc etc funny cartoon boy, and the little wings in his poncho can fly

Veronica has her bombs plus her rifle plus little tank wheels on her boots like skates she’s pretty simple lol

mits has her skates/records plus she can use the vaporwave pattern on her dress as a net like she can pull the pattern off don’t ask how she’s a magical girl ok, uh she had some other ideas but I don’t remember what they where uh

i still need to get more power ideas for some of them but those are the basic ones lol I still don’t have many weaknesses yet BUT patt has delayed reaction time because of his poor sight so that’s a hc we have ig

El 16 de agosto de 1958 nace en Bay City, Michigan, Estados Unidos, Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, mejor conocida como MADONNA, es una cantante, compositora, actriz, empresaria e ícono estadounidense.

Hija mayor de Silvio Anthony Ciccone y Madonna Louise Fortin, inmigrantes de Pacentro, Italia, su madre era de ascendencia francocanadiense.

Su progenitor trabajó como ingeniero en Chrysler y General Motors. Tiene dos hermanos mayores, Anthony (nacido en 1956) y Martin (nacido en 1957), y tres hermanos menores, Paula (nacida en 1959), Christopher (nacido en 1960), y Melanie (nacida en 1962).

Al recibir la confirmación en 1966 adoptó el nombre de Verónica.

Se crio en Pontiac y Avon Township (ahora Rochester Hills) suburbios de Detroit. Cuando tenía seis años su madre murió de cáncer de mama.

En 1966, su padre se casó con la niñera de la familia Joan Gustafson, y tuvieron dos hijos: Jennifer (nacido en 1967) y Mario (nacido en 1968).

Asistió a la St. Fredericks; la St. Andrews Catholic Elementary Schools, y la West Middle School.

Fue reconocida como una buena estudiante y por su comportamiento poco convencional. Solía realizar volteretas, hacer el pino por los pasillos y subirse la falda para que los chicos pudieran ver su ropa interior.

Madonna asistió a la Rochester Adams High School donde se convirtió en miembro del equipo de animadoras. Tras graduarse, recibió una beca de baile para la Escuela de Música, Teatro y Danza de la Universidad Michigan.

Convenció a su padre para que le permita tomar clases de ballet y fue persuadido por Christopher Flynn, su profesor de ballet, para permitirle iniciar una carrera en la danza.

En 1978 abandonó la universidad y se trasladó a la ciudad de Nueva York, donde trabajó como camarera.

Empezó en el mundo de la música en los años 70 y es compositora, cantante y productora.

Su carrera como músico pasa por diferentes fases llenas de altibajos. Se dedicó especialmente a la música disco, pop, dance y electrónica.

En New York en donde estudió y bailó con Alvin Ailey y Pearl Lang, también actuó en algunas películas eróticas. Trabajó como modelo fotográfica y poco después crea su propia banda con un amigo: The Breakfast Club, en el que tocaba la guitarra y la batería.

Pasó por varios grupos y cambió continuamente de representante, editó su primer sencillo, Everybody en 1983, con el que inició su camino a la fama.

Sus álbumes Madonna (1983) y Like a Virgen (1984) vendieron millones de copias.

Su tercer disco, True Blue se publicó en 1986 y fue un auténtico éxito de ventas.

En 1989 lanzó Like a prayer, con el que batió todos los récords de ventas.

Protagonizó Buscando a Susan desesperadamente (1985). Trabajó en Broadway con una obra de teatro titulada Speed the Plow, con notable éxito. Junto a Sean Penn (con el que se casó el 16 de agosto de 1985) protagonizó una nueva película, Shangai Surprise, que resultó un fracaso.

En 1988 editó Whos that girl y a continuación You can dance.

Inició una nueva gira con gran éxito.

Reconocida mundialmente por la provocación que despiertan sus video-clips y espectáculos así como por la versatilidad de sus shows.

En 1990 protagonizó la película Dick Tracy, junto a Warren Beatty, con quien tuvo un romance, también publicó la banda sonora de Dick Tracy.

Dos años después participó en el filme Una liga propia.

Durante 1992 se puso a la venta Erotica y en 1994 Bedtime Stories, con el que dio un giro a su carrera además de lograr un gran éxito de ventas.

En el año 1996 protagonizó Evita, junto a Antonio Banderas, con la que logra el Globo de Oro a la mejor actriz. Editó el disco con la banda sonora de la película y en octubre del mismo año nació su hija Lourdes María Ciccone, fruto de su relación con el cubano Carlos León.

En 1998 apareció Ray of Light y en el 2000 Music.

Sus actuaciones en el cine, a excepción de Buscando a Susan desesperadamente y Evita, no alcanzaron gran notoriedad.

Su aparición por las pantallas de cine resultó un batacazo en las taquillas de Estados Unidos durante el año 2002.

Swept Away, el filme de alto presupuesto que protagonizó y dirigió su marido, Guy Ritchie, no logró el favor del público.

Producido por la propia Madonna y Mirwais Ahmadzai, a primeros de 2003 salió a la venta el álbum American Life, que una vez más se vio envuelta en la polémica.

Unos días antes del lanzamiento del primer sencillo, retiró el vídeo por su contenido bélico y crítico con EE. UU.

American Life es el título de su siguiente trabajo, que como es habitual en la carrera de Madonna, sale a la venta en una edición especial limitada en formato de lujo, con portada de cuero bordada y otros extras.

En 2003 apareció su segundo libro para niños. Tras el escaso éxito de Las rosas inglesas, Madonna regresó con Las manzanas del señor Peabody.

En noviembre de 2003 lanzó Remixed and Revisited, un EP con siete cortes, entre los que figuran las colaboraciones con Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera y Missy Elliott, además de varias remezclas y un tema inédito, Your honesty.

En junio de 2004 la polémica estrella del pop cambia su nombre por el de Esther -de origen hebreo-, asumiendo así una nueva imagen pública de modestia, más en consonancia con la de una joven judía que con la de una chica materialista.

Educada en un ambiente católico, afirmó en una entrevista con el programa 20/20 de la cadena ABC News, que su identificación con la reina bíblica se debe en parte a su estudio del misticismo judío conocido como la cábala.

En 2008, la revista Billboard clasificó a Madonna en el número dos, detrás de The Beatles, en el Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists, convirtiéndola en la solista más exitosa en esa lista, además de ser incluida en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll en ese mismo año.

En marzo de 2012 salió a la venta su álbum titulado MDNA que parece jugar con las palabras, a medio camino entre su nombre, Madonna, y la denominación en inglés de la droga MDMA (éxtasis). En abril la cantante lanzó el perfume Thruth or Dare que diseñó en recuerdo del olor de su madre y con el que culmina uno de sus proyectos más antiguos.

El álbum, Rebel Heart, se presentó el 10 de marzo de 2015, y de agosto a diciembre del mismo año se dedicó a su promoción.

El 14 de abril de 2019, reveló que Madame X sería el título de su próximo álbum de estudio, el primer sencillo, una colaboración con el cantante colombiano Maluma, titulada Medellín, fue lanzada el 17 de abril.

El 18 de mayo de 2019, Madonna actuó ante 200 millones de personas de todo el mundo en la gala de Eurovisión.

Apareció en el escenario del pabellón Expo de Tel Aviv (Israel) para presentar Future, junto al rapero estadounidense Quavo, una de las canciones de su nuevo disco Madame X.

En septiembre de ese mismo año, inició su undécima gira de conciertos, Madame X Tour, que continuó hasta marzo de 2020.

Además de Lourdes María tuvo otro niño nacido el 11 de agosto del 2000, Rocco Ritchie, hijo del director cinematográfico Guy Ritchie, con el que se casó en diciembre del 2000.

Además tiene cuatro hijos adoptivos: Chifundo Mercy James, David Banda Mwale y las gemelas Estere y Stella.

El reportero Michael McWilliams comentó: "Las quejas sobre Madonna –que es fría, manipuladora, codiciosa y sin talento– ocultan el fanatismo y la esencia de su arte, que es uno de los más cálidos, de los más humanos, de los más profundamente satisfactorios en toda la cultura pop".

Madonna fue incluida en el Libro Guinness como la cantante más exitosa de todos los tiempos, habiendo vendido más de 300 millones de discos en todo el mundo.

Encabezó diez giras musicales, por lo que subir a un escenario no tendría que representarle ningún problema.

Sin embargo, en una entrevista aseguró que aunque no siente miedo de actuar, sí se siente vulnerable. Por eso, reconoció que muchas veces en medio de un concierto tiene que darle la espalda al público y respirar profundo mientras se repite "esto es algo pasajero". Madonna también padece brontofobia o astrofobia que es el terror a los rayos y a las tormentas eléctricas.

Además de sus manías varias veces trascendieron sus pedidos para cuando sale de gira.

Exige tener en su camarín por lo menos 20 líneas de teléfono internacional y que esté repleto de lirios y rosas blancas, pero las flores además de ser frescas deben tener sus tallos cortados a 15,24 centímetros (seis pulgadas)

En los últimos años además ordena comida vegana es decir con ningún componente de origen animal o derivados de productos animales como huevos o lácteos.

En diversas ocasiones también pidió que los muebles del cuarto de hotel donde se hospeda sean reemplazados por los propios. La vajilla que usa debe ser de cristal o porcelana.

De todos los pedidos que hace Madonna para sus giras y presentaciones, sin duda el más curioso es su orden de destruir los inodoros que usa en cada hotel donde se hospeda.

Para mantener su cuerpo casi en el mismo estado que cuando tenía 20 años, además realiza seis comidas diarias, tres con porciones pequeñas y tres principales un poco más abundantes. Bebe mucho jugo y su favorito es el de sandía. También come barritas de proteínas orgánicas, frutas, verduras y granos como la quinoa.

En el 2016 cuando recibió el premio a la Mujer del Año en la gala Billboard pronunció un discurso contundente: "Cuando sos mujer se te permite ser linda y sexy. Pero no parezcas inteligente y finalmente, no envejezcas. Porque envejecer es un pecado. Vas a ser criticada y denigrada y definitivamente no te van a pasar en la radio".

     Rachael stood with her back to Penny, who was sitting on the couch. Penny smiled at the woman in front of her who was wearing only a t-shirt and diaper, Rachael’s favorite pajamas. As the song on her phone started, Rachael shuffled backwards towards Penny, taking small steps in time with the music. As the intro ended, she spun around and sang along, though she only knew half of the lyrics. 

     They both smiled as Rachael danced in the apartment living room. Both women shared the philosophy that life is what you make of it. They could have been sad or stressed that they would have to leave this apartment in less than a month, forced to uproot their lives and start anew somewhere else. Instead, they lived life one day at a time. Each day was a gift, they had agreed. Sometimes all that matters is the here and now. Here, at this point in time, everything was perfect.

     Penny got a text from Veronica.

     “Oh no. Veronica is divorcing Marco.” Penny said with a sigh. 

     “Oh no.” Rachael stopped dancing and sat on the couch next to Penny.

     “I knew they were going through a rough patch, but I didn’t think it would lead to divorce.” Penny read the last text from Veronica out loud, translating the words from Spanish. “ ‘Everything is going to be okay, though. I will miss him, but he really wasn’t good to me, anyway. He wants to stay in the house, so he is kicking me out. So I will find my own place. My abuela raised a strong woman; I will make my own way.’ I’m going to invite her to stay over here. She’s too stubborn to ask.”

     Penny quickly typed the invitation to Veronica in spanish. Rachael loved watching Penny type in spanish. Scrambled words and strange characters seemed to come together like magic, forming words and sentences that were alien to her, yet perfectly clear and concise to a Spanish speaker. Language always fascinated her. Some languages could delete the verb ‘are’ if the context was obvious. Other languages had 100 unique words to use in place of ‘I’. And still others had phrases and words for feelings that took English speakers an entire sentence to describe.

     Penny read Veronica’s reply “ ‘Mija, I don’t want to be a burden on you. It’s unfair for me to take up the space you’ve worked so hard to earn.’ Ptch. She sounds like an abuela.” She spoke her reply out loud, while she typed in spanish. “Please. You. Are. Not. An inconvenience. Let. Me. Take care. Of you. The way. You take. Care. Of me. If. Abuela. Was here. I would. Tell. On you. Familia primero. Siempre.”

     Penny hit send, then the two stared at the message screen waiting for a reply. “Do you know what those last three words mean, Rachael?” While Penny waited for Veronica to weigh her options and make up her mind, she figured she would keep Rachael entertained with a little spanish lesson.

     “Um…” She read the words without their proper accent, much to Penny’s amusement. “Fam-ee-lee-uh prihm-air-o See-em-pree.”

     “Rachael. Babygirl. You butchered that pronunciation. Escuchen. Repeat after me. Fah-mee-lee-uh pre-mehro. See-em-preh.”

    Rachael repeated the words back, this time only failing to roll the ‘R’ in primero.

    “Very good. Thank you.”

     “Does it mean family one?”

     “Close. It means family first, always. I said that to pull on her heartstrings. I’m kind of partial to having her over all the time, but I also don’t think she has too many housing options right now. It may be a little presumptuous of me, but I don’t care. There’s not a lot I can do to make her have a bad opinion of me at this point.”

     Penny translated Veronica’s reply. “ ‘Okay, Mija. You win. I’ll be spending the night tonight, if that’s okay. I won’t be too much trouble.’ Yes! She’s coming over!” Penny did a little dance. “I get my Mommy. She’s coming over. I’m going to collect ALLl the women. Mwahaha.”

     “Yay! I mean, it’s sad that she’s getting a divorce. You know what I mean. Does she have kids?” 

     “Yeah. She has a son, but he’s like 20 and moved out already.”

     “Okay. Should we start getting ready to go see Kim, soon?” Rachael was still chipper. Getting to see someplace new was exciting, even if her social anxiety tended to climb higher as she did so.

     “Yes. We should get ready. And you know what? I’m going to let you diaper me. I’ll wear a longer skirt or something so noone will know but you. But it’ll be my little gift to you.” Penny stood up to go change, then stretched.

     “A gift? I’m special! Why do I get a gift?” Rachael asked sweetly.

     “Because I love you. That’s why,” Penny cooed.  “You get a gift for no other reason than ‘I love you.’” She kissed Rachael’s forehead. “Now diaper and dress me, babyslave!”

     “Yes ma’am!” Rachael eagerly hurried to the bedroom for clothes and supplies. Penny followed behind.

     “Let’s see.” Rachael rummaged through the boxes in the room. She found a white pleated skirt, flowy top, and a rearz princess diaper, then patted the bed, directing Penny to lay down. “Lay down right here, sweet princess girl. We don’t need any grown up panties anymore.” After taking Penny’s clothes off, she started to grab baby powder. 

     “No baby powder, please.” 

     “Why not?” Rachael stopped, puzzled.

     “I’m allergic. It makes my skin break out. It’s not a bad allergy, it’s just enough to bother my skin.”

     “I’m sorry. Well, shoot. I guess I won’t get to have powder, either.”

     “You can have powder on yourself. I just can’t put it on you.” Penny looked at Rachael apologetically. “I’m sorry. You really like it, don’t you.”

     “Meh. I can do without. That’s part of any relationship, I guess. Compromise.” Rachael finished getting Penny dressed, without baby powder. “Could you powder someone if you wore gloves? What happens if you accidentally breathe it in?”

    “Nothing,”Penny said as she sat up again. “But I would be anxious that it would touch me somewhere else. If I start smelling baby powder, I start worrying that it’s touching some part of my skin that I don’t see. It won’t kill me, but I just really don’t want my skin to break out and start getting itchy. We’ll work on some kind of plan for you to be able to use baby powder, on yourself, sometime. I don’t want you to not have the things you like.”

      “Thank you. Can I get changed now, too?”

     “Of course!” Penny kissed her cheek. “We’ll take turns.” 

     Penny smiled and layed Rachael down on the bed, with a kiss to the forehead. Penny changed her out of her pajama shirt and wet diaper, into a dry diaper and new, publicly acceptable outfit. The bagginess of the outfit helped conceal her diaper. Neither one of them were obviously diapered.

     “There. All better.” Penny told Rachael. “Let’s go see this house.”

~~~~~~

     “This is the place? Whoa.” Rachael was surprised at how large the house was. Kim waited for them on the front sidewalk as they drove up the driveway.

     Before them was a large, two story house. It wasn’t a mansion, but was still large enough for more than 5 bedrooms. A pool was visible in the backyard. Behind the house was a communal lake; a few boats dotted its surface.

     “Hello, ladies. Thank you for coming!” Kim looked very happy to see her former co-workers. They exchanged pleasantries as Kim started the tour of the house. Inside, the rooms were spacious. Vaulted ceilings and open concept spaces were all throughout. The bedrooms were smaller in comparison, but still larger than any room in Penny’s apartment.

     Kim told the story of how both sets of her grandparents wanted to get their first grand-daughter the most expensive gift. What started as a petty competition between her grandparents had escalated until she had a house, car, and multiple shares of stocks in her name. Through the trickling down of their money, they had ultimately made Kim wealthy as well. She had enough money in her multiple savings accounts to live comfortably for decades, with all her bills paid. Getting a job was how she earned extra “spending money”. 

     “So your grandparents just gave you all this?” Penny couldn’t imagine her grandparents cooperating long enough to make a single decision, much less buy her expensive things.

     “Yep.”

     “So this house, your car, is all paid for already?” Rachael had received a few expensive gifts from her grandparents a few times in her life. Still, she knew that none of them, even if they pooled their money, could afford a house like this. Rachael was floored.

     “Yes.”

     “And you’re just going to let us live here? How much will we owe you?” Penny was floored that rich people could so easily forget the value of what they possessed. 

     “You can stay for free, if you need. But if you insist on paying something, just pay your portion of the utilities.” Kim shrugged. It made no difference to her.

     “We’ll definitely pay that. Maybe more. Thank you so much for this offer, Kim. Do you have any specific rules for us if we decide to live here?” Penny asked.

     “Not really. Just… don’t destroy the house? The HOA demands that there are no parties past quiet hours of 10pm. Clean up after yourself. Just the basic things. The house is basically yours to do with as you please. I’ll be leaving in 2 days for a family vacation. So, do you want to stay here? I kind of need an answer so I know if I need to find a house sitter or not.”

     “That would be wonderful. Please.” Penny said. “Oh. One last thing. We may have a guest over for an extended amount of time. Is that okay? It’s my friend. She is getting divorced and needs a temporary place to stay while she finds a place.”

     “Sure. I really don’t care. I’m just happy that the house is being used now.”

     “Thank you very much.” Penny said. Rachael echoed the thank you as well.

     “You’re welcome. Here are the keys. I’ll have my people send you the paperwork today. Can you just text me your current address so we can send it to you?” Kim started typing on her phone. Most likely sending messages to ‘her people’ to begin the process of accepting tenants. “Feel free to start moving in when you’re ready. I have to take off. Bye friends.”

     And with that, she was gone, leaving Penny and Rachael standing in the massive living room, stunned at the gravity of what just happened.

     “I love rich people.” Rachael said. 

     “Me, too.” Penny slowly spun around, taking in the house one more time as she played with the keys she was handed. “I guess let’s get lunch, then go pack. Then move, I guess? I don’t know. The world is our oyster, love.”

      “Let’s go!” Rachael said excitedly.

      They left the house, locking the door behind them, then spent the rest of the day packing and moving enough stuff to the new house so they could stay overnight.

Hey, can you reccomend me with some kdramas where a male duo falls in love with a female duo? Like a guy falls for a girl and his friend will fall for her friend?

Ok I'm sure there are way more than this but the two off of the top of my head are:

The Secret Life Of My Secretary & A Business Proposal

Which is also very funny because those shows are soooooo similar! Plus if you watch The Secret Life of My Secretary you get to be in the presence of Veronica Park-ee-ay-yo (trust me you'll end up loving her!) Anyways, those two definitely fit the two guy friends hook up with the two girl friends!

Oh and Twenty Five Twenty One, Go Back Couple and Laughter In Waikiki all have a friend circle where there are multiple couples (maybe not duos but close?)
