🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓 Javier and Lola - 🌞🌞🌞

I see you @oc-musings ✨💕

Javier

- Before getting dragged into the dirty business that is the cartel life, Javi was actually an art major specializing in painting and creative writing. He was an exceptionally talented artist; however, much to his misfortune, his father was vehemently against his artistic pursuits.

- Javi has a younger brother named Carlos. Although they may not seem to get along well now, when they were kids, they spent a lot of time together, even to the extent of traveling out of La Paz and to the beaches of Máncora just so they can surf. Still, despite their relationship on the rocks, Javi would do anything to protect his brother and to keep him out of trouble.

- The first time Javi took Darcy out on a date, they were on their way to a beach in Kent when his car broke down in the middle of the road. He tried to fix it but failed miserably, and so he resigned to the idea of asking his younger brother for help. Meanwhile, on a brighter side, he was still lucky—looking around, they were stranded in a gorgeous sunflower field. Good thing he came ready for a picnic, so he had to improvise; it was a far cry from his goal to take her to the ocean, but the view was scenic all the same. And so with his exquisite bottle of pinot noir, thick slices of gruyère, clementines, and pomegranates, he rolled out a blanket on the grass where they drunk and ate the rest of the afternoon away, laughing at each other’s stories and kissing in between, until Carlos arrived to their rescue, kind of ruining the moment. 😂

- He still paints in his free time as a way to destress, and his muse is always Darcy.

- Has a surprisingly soft spot for children, but this is something he wouldn’t admit out loud. When he married Darcy, he spoiled the shit out of the twins and would always say that he just doing it because he can afford to. He’s in complete denial when little Scout or Bonnie snuggle up to him and it melts his damn cold heart.

Lola

- Nadine’s little sister from another mother, and quite literally at that. They grew up together in Brighton because their dad has some major balls to have both his families live under the same roof. Surprisingly enough, both their moms became the closest friends, with absolute disdain for their father giving birth to their unlikely solidarity.

- Lola’s mom is an archaeologist, too, and has worked with the Kingsleys and Cassandra Morgan. For a time, she spent a couple of years living in Israel when her mother was assigned in Jerusalem.

- She has an eidetic memory, which would explain why she’s able to reproduce works of art with such an alarming precision.

- An absolute plant mama. Has plants everywhere in her flat as well as her underground studio in Griffin’s Lair.

- Lola has a very pragmatic and practical way of thinking. Though painting and visual arts are Lola’s truest passions in life, those weren’t the things that she pursued in college, believing that her love for art would only be diluted with formal education. Instead, because her mother adamantly wished that she get a degree, she considered her other great love: programming. And so she took up Computer Engineering specializing in Network Security, to which she realized that almost everything she learned in this field, she already learned from her peers and from the gigs she took with Darcy, and while her classes were helpful, she felt that only a little fraction of it would actually be truly beneficial in the kind of shady business she’s in. (And she’s not wrong tbh.)
