Eli recognized Owen right away. His playful banter with Luciana had been a long time running at this point. When he had found out she was pregnant with Owen Bentley's baby, he was caught off guard. He hadn't imagined that happening for either of them and Eli and Owen shared a brief history of hooking up themselves once upon a time. It was so long ago, jealousy was hardly a problem. It just seemed that people's lives were changing all the time. "Hey, stranger," he clapped the man on the shoulder as he walked up to him, "how's the new dad life?"

"That they can be, I see why you are one," he teased Beyza with a playful wiggle of his brows in her direction. "I know," what a surprise, right?" he joked, laughing as he did so. "That's great, I love to hear that," and he did. There was something special about hearing about others falling in love and being happy with one another. "Wedding planning is going well, we are waiting on the availability for the church her parents and grandparents use since that will determine most of it but we've actually begun to look at houses, too," he told Beyza. "She's great, the store's great. I really don't have anything to complain about." @beyzaxalpman

She laughed a little. "I think it's the mermaid thing. They can be deceiving, you know?" She teased him a little bit. "Sure you can. And yet, here you are agreeing to get coffee with me." Beyza laughed again and she nodded. "Right?" She agreed as she felt warmer. "They're great. It's amazing living with Emre and Seyda. It's like we're just one big family." It made her happy and it felt like everything was falling in place in her life. "How's wedding planning? And Isla?" @elianxbrowne

"I have dinner reservations for us," Eli told Isla as he stepped into the hotel room. He had been working, leaving the love of his life to wander around Italy while he did so. It had only been a few hours, balancing both having to work and having Isla here with him. "Did you pick out anything while shopping?" He questioned, having told Isla to get something nice to wear - though he imagined she also packed something as well. However, he had given her his credit card to get anything she wanted. They were in Italy afterwards. Plus, the ring he had in his jacket pocket was eventually going to be found, considering he tended to constantly check for it. Eli thought he was being sneaky about it, but he truly had no idea if Isla suspected anything.

"Was there enough space in the closet?" Eli questioned, walking into their bedroom. "We still have the spare if there's not enough room," he was grinning, joking with her, but it was also serious in nature. He had a three bedroom townhome and it had been just him for quite some time now. He certainly didn't need all the space. "You can also convert it into a work space if you need," he offered to the woman, leaning against the door frame as he watched her from across the room.

"You ever going to make time for me again after I got you this store?" Eli teased as he wrapped his arms around Isla. He'd just gotten off work himself and decided to stop by the store before heading home to see if Isla was there. To no surprise, she was. "If I didn't know better, I think you might love this store more than you love me." Eli continued to tease his girlfriend.

[elianxbrowne]

"You aren't stupid," Eli couldn't stand to hear the woman call herself that, "I could have given you better peace of mind," and should he ever find himself doing something like this for her again - he knew that he would. "You are very lucky, huh?" He teased Isla, though he considered himself just as lucky, if not more lucky than the woman that was standing in front of him. "You don't owe me anything," he pulled her closer to him, his hands resting on her hips, "not a thing," he brought his lips to touch her own. "I just wanted to give you everything you deserve and more," he said as he pulled back from the kiss, resting his forehead against her own for a moment. @islaricci

Isla sighed, “No but I do, Lian.” She stated, smiling as his lips pecked her nose, “I can’t believe that I was jumping to the worst possible conclusions, meanwhile all this time you were making my dreams come true, I—“ Her words fell flat as she shook her head again. “I can’t believe I was being so stupid.” Even though it had seemed like the only possible answer at the time. Isla let her arms drift to rest on his shoulders, giving them a small squeeze, “The next time, huh?” She smirked as she raised a brow at him. “God, how did I get so lucky that I get to call you my boyfriend.” She asked herself while smiling, “I truly do love you, Lian. Always have.” And she always would. “Considering you have been so hard at work these last fee weeks, I think it is safe to say I owe you a massage or two, don’t you agree?” She chuckled before reaching in closer in a attempt to give him a kiss.

location: wingman's pub

Eli had heard that Cameron Hatcher was back in town but in the midst of all the holidays, followed by Eli working heavily on getting Isla's shop up and ready, the two had yet to run into each other. So, when he saw him sitting at the bar at Wingman's Pub, Eli was quick to approach him. "Cameron Hatcher, as I live and breathe," he grinned at the other, placing a hand on Cameron's shoulder to give it a squeeze, "you been avoiding me this whole time?"

Eli sat up as Isla walked out of the bathroom that adjoined the bedroom, "So, I've been thinking," he started off, "I know we've got a lot going on with the wedding planning and you just moved in here," even though it had been a few months at this point, "but what do we think about starting to look for a house? One that we can grow a family in?" Eli suggested to her, "We don't have to do anything right now but I wanted to put the idea out there."

"Cameron Hatcher," he grinned, walking up to the man that he hadn't seen in quite some time. "how the hell have you been?" He sat down across the table from him and then looked around, "I'm not interrupting, am I?" He hadn't seen anyone that looked like they were headed towards the same table. "Girlfriend not in town?" He inquired with a curious tip of his head to the side. Eli hadn't intended on running into anyone and was just headed to grab a drink while Isla was out with her girlfriends, but was glad that he had.

location: mini games

Eli and Isla were apart for a while as she had made plans with some of her friends. In the midst of his crazy work schedule with the new project that Dae-Hyun had him working on, Eli hadn't reached out to meet up with anyone. It led him to end up near the mini games and he stood in front of the chalk board that indicated where each of them were located. "Options, options, options," he clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth. A shadow appeared next to him, prompting him to speak, "Which one are you going to do?"

"Okay, whatever you want," he told looked at Lexi as they walked along the downtown strip of shops in Kismet Harbor, "you just let me know and you will get it for your wedding." He grinned at her, "and in the midst of all your wedding planning, did you happen to see my big news?" Eli didn't have a diamond to share like Isla did but he certainly had the ability to brag about marrying the love of his life. "I'll be married next year."

"I'm glad we were able to get in a round of basketball," the high school gym opening up in the winter for recreational sports teams and pick up games to occur allowed Eli to continue to stay active. "Drinks and dinner on me," he offered to Eddie as he pulled open the door to let them into the bar and grill, "I've got nowhere to be, Isla's ditching me for some girlfriends tonight."

[elianxbrowne]

"Makes it sound like a full-time job, getting supplies that is." Maybe it was for shop class. Elian wouldn't disagree but he also wasn't certain that was the case either - perhaps a very part time job. "That makes sense," he gave the other a nod of his head. Eli knew about finding the one that suited the project, "I hope you find what you're looking for soon." @diegoocastro

END.

He nodded "and add my classes are far from the normal" he smirked "I tend to spend my time off getting supplies for my class" thankfully he did get good donations. He smiled "I am really gonna try it" he wanted too. But really first he wanted to get new home and have it fixed up. "I've heard that and I've started looking there" but had yet to find a place that really called out to him. "I love fixing things, panting and stuff so I want to find the one" he could do one that did need a bit more work and have a good time with it. @elianxbrowne

"Okay, it smells good in here," he chimed in as he opened the door to Isla's place, "which means your mom must have made us something for dinner, huh?" He joked with the woman as he came fully inside and walked toward her. Eli hung up his jacket on the back of a chair before leaning in to press a kiss against her lips, "Which means it's likely I'm to go into a food coma if I'm not careful, huh?" He pulled back from her, "What did she make?"

"Aye, Lucy, Lucy!" Eli called out, realizing the woman had left with his coffee and not her own. He pushed out the door, holding the woman's coffee, "I'd think twice about drinking that coffee, if you haven't already," he teased, "you grabbed mine and," he held out the coffee for the other, "have yours."

There was a pop up shop, one that Eli hadn't heard of. He had just got done visiting Isla at work and decided to stop and check it out. Making his own cologne was not typically something that he considered, but he had a free schedule for the rest of the day. As he walked up, he took one of the scents, it was bourbon and he lifted it to his nose. "Do you think this is too strong?" The name had been appealing but he wasn't sure if it was too strong as a base, "I mean, at least to start." He questioned someone standing nearby.
