WHEN: 8pm WHERE: Briar Ridge Charity Masquerade

SCENE ONE.

"Why am I already laughing?!" Laughter spills from her lips as she stares at the row of lined up shots; perhaps it was nervous laughter.. no, there was definitely some amusement there. They'd walked in already buzzed with the pre drinks they'd consumed over at Cali's place, and somehow in her early tipsy escapades, she'd signed herself up to be auctioned off. Major regrets, but she'd drink those worries away. "I am actually scared about what tonight's going to entail for us, Cabrera." Knowing their history and ability to go off the rails when together, she wondered if she still had it in her all these years later. Something told her she did, and that terrified her. PIcking up one of the tequila shots, she gestures for Cali to do the same, a slice of lemon in her other hand. "To a childfree night for me, and a wild one for you, my friend. Because, guess what?! I bought you a raffle ticket on your behalf. You're welcome and pleasedon'thateme."

Leyla: ig time will tell Leyla: Can you please take me with you?????

Cali: It's fine Cali: whatevs Cali: I mean tbf it was the other way around, he kissed me after going home with someone else. Mari said she even had his jacket on. Cali: Amen to that. BRB, off to join a convent.

@cali-cabrera Location: Beachfront Neighborhood. "This just proves you literally look good in anything," Nia offered her partner a mile-wide pearl white smile. Tossing in a playful wink for good measure. "This thing is kind of... scratchy though, right?" Her fingertips toyed absently with neon colored vest she and the other volunteers were all wearing. It looked mesh, but not like a soft comfortable jersey fabric. It was cheap and plastic-y. Nia stopped fussing with her vest to unroll her big black garbage bag. "Damn, that storm really washed some things up huh?" A heavy sigh parted her lips as her umber gaze scanned the beach. Others paired off around them to help clean up the beach in the wake of Hurricane Hax. Trash, foliage, and you name it marred the sand. "How'd the aquarium fair?" Nia posed, wielding her garbage picker like a seasoned professional. "The resort pool looked like it belonged in a horror movie, or maybe some post-apocalyptic film." There were protocols for such heavy maintenance, but the sight had still been pretty unnerving nonetheless.

Marco wasn't really sure how he got roped into participating in this raffle. Obviously, he had to be there to oversee the catering. But volunteering him for a date?? He was going to kill Leyla. He really didn't need this right now. All he wanted to do was get in, do his job, make sure everything went off without a hitch, and get the hell out of there. The whiplash he kept experiencing with Cali was really getting to him. Being reminded, yet again, that Cali was in fact in a relationship, was killing him. He didn't know how many more times he could do this - get his hopes up, delude himself into thinking maybe they could have something, only to have his hopes dashed against the very jagged rock that was Aydin. It was becoming too painful, too unhealthy for him. And he needed to figure out a way to bury his feelings, to bury them down deep.

He hadn't seen Cali yet, though since Gabi was helping her do her makeup, he knew she would be here, so Marco took advantage of not seeing her yet, and scanned the ballroom for something, someone to distract him. His gaze snagged on the gorgeous figure of a woman in a stunning pink gown. Letting out a sigh, knowing his heart really wasn't in it but he needed to try something, Marco made his way over to the woman at the bar. Leaning against the bar next to her, asked with a smirk, "So, how much do you think the city council pushed for these masks so we could all get away with flirting with whoever they wanted?"

WHO — @cali-cabrera WHEN — saturday, march 30th WHERE — paradise point's ballroom

"Holy shit, Cali, is that you?" Given how close they'd grown both working at Marineland she'd still yet to really have seen or spent time with her coworker outside of the aquarium. "Forgive my language but wow you clean up like a goddess." She even took a step back to get another really solid look at the beautiful brunette. Considering that she'd worked hard together with Isaiah Warren to bring this event to fruition Noa was beyond happy to see familiar faces in the crowd, though none quite stopped her in her tracks like Cali had. "Who knew it would be a charity event that got you out of that wet suit," she joked with a light laugh.

SANTA ON THE SANDS - BOARDWALK ➟ FT. @cali-cabrera

It was a beautiful summer's day in Briar Ridge and Aydin was walking along the boardwalk with his long time girlfriend, Cali. The annual Santa on the Sands event was in full flow and the small town was heaving with people all smiling and having fun. The detective had the weekend off, something he protested about at first, but came around to when Cali said they could spend it together. "Do you think most of these people are drunk or just stupid?" Aydin asked with a chuckle, as one of those said people tripped into him, bringing out a groan from the man. Here he was with his gorgeous girlfriend and he still found reasons to scowl. People annoyed him. It was hard to enjoy drunks when you spent most of your early policing days arresting them for disorderly conduct.

starter for: @cali-cabrera location: spring festival entrance

Honestly, was going to the annual spring festival days after being released from jail a good idea? Probably not. Not only because the thought of all the stares and seeing people who obviously knew where he had been for the last five years sounded like hell on earth, but also because of how overwhelming it all would be. Marco had been in jail for five years. That was a lot of time to have to adjust for. But with Juan having disappeared as soon he heard Marco was released and Marco's grandparents both too busy, there was no one else to take Gabriela to the festival. And Marco would be damned if his niece still missed out on a good childhood after all that he had sacrificed so that her 'father' could be there to provide for it.

After paying for their wristbands, Marco and Gabi made their way through the crowded entrance. Just as Marco was about to ask his niece what she wanted to do first, he spotted a familiar face heading their way. Marco froze as a million and one emotions crashed into him. He knew the chances of seeing Cali at the festival were pretty high, but it somehow still felt like a shock to run into her so soon. It had been years since he had seen her and yet, she looked exactly the same as he remembered her, maybe even more beautiful. He was so caught up in staring at her, it was only when she was just a few steps away, in an animated discussion with someone else, that Marco realized she clearly didn't see him and was literally heading straight for him. Too late, his hands reached out as if to stop her from bumping into him, but instead only served to steady her after the fact. As the dust settled on their literal run in, Marco couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corner of his mouth as he looked down at her. "Hey Cali."

drunk!

*rambling voice note* Cali: MARIANA. hello, hi, I just full named you, are you in trouble? I don't know if you are but you probably are because y'know. Do you ever sit there and think about the *hiccups* stars? Me neither. *voice note number 2* Cali: Did I ever tell you that when I last saw Rhett I punched him in the dick? It felt really small you really shouldn't have stayed there that long. *voice note number 3* Cali: Apparently that was inappropriate. Do you think my ass is too small? I think it's shrunk. My jeans went on too easily tonight and that can't be good. Unless someone stretched them out. *voice note number 4* Cali: Oh my god. Do you think Alba wore my jeans?

Gabriela and EZ in Mayans MC 3x01

[niaxbailey]

Where || Downton, Cali's home. Who || @cali-cabrera At this point in their friendship, when Cali opened her door to find Nia sitting on her kitchen counter with the smell of freshly popped buttery popcorn drifting through the air, the woman had lost all sense of trying to appear sheepish. "Hey gorgeous," Nia chirped with a smile and a playful wink tossed towards the brunette. "I may have let myself in for a snack." Which translated that she'd neglected going grocery shopping again, and instead of going to the store to remedy that she raided Cali's kitchen. "I brought that as payment -" she pointed to a bottle of wine, which was already open and a glass perched beside Nia on the counter top.

Tired - from Cali

- it's 3am and Marco is sitting at the foot of Gabi's bed having finally gotten her to sleep after a stomach flu had her up most of the night sick - Marco: I'm kind of worried that even though you don't have a boyfriend anymore, that I shouldn't have kissed you... - 5 minutes later - Marco: because now I can't stop thinking about it.
