@lia-lozano BR New Years Eve Bash All in all it'd been a hell of a year, and with his court date in the New Year Emil wasn't exactly expecting any glimmer of a clean slate ahead for him. Still there was something refreshing about celebrating the end of the year, surviving one and starting another, his company for the evening definitely helped. Distracting in all the best ways. Emil couldn't seem to pry his eyes from Lia and the radiating sparkling red dress she'd chosen for the festivities. "If we see two very, very amused women coming towards us arm in arm... I might grab you and run." Emil warned with a broad grin, the hint of an amused chuckle colored his tone. "We've been toyed with by your friends, but mine are... well, let's just maybe put that off for a bit." His fingertips idly traced along Lia's arm as he spoke, unable to help but somewhat forget the meaning of personal space now that it felt like he was allowed to be close to her. "They might say anything just to see me squirm."

[emilmoreno]

"Pink is a good color on you," Emil offered with a grin. Only doubling-down on Lia's claim. "Don't worry, I can be awkward too." So far, it just seemed to happen less around Lia. The universe was doing him a favor. The low whisper of her voice made the moment feel intimate, and he couldn't help but to be a little more earnest with her. "Yeah? Well, you kinda turned mine around." He admitted with a softened smile. He'd been trying to have a good time, but even with a drink in hand it hadn't been easy to not let his mind wander. Emil had wanted to bring Isabel at least the first day, to play the carnival games with her and bring her by the food stalls. Visit Kira. Instead, Amaia refused to let him have her and that paired with Alara appearing right before had him in a mood. One that Lia managed to dissipate with all the ease of a smile.

"Definitely, I'll even get it mounted by your front door so everyone knows." It was easy to laugh with Emil and it was even easier to smile around him. She hadn't stopped smiling from the second she had seen him at the festival and that was pretty much how it went every time they were together.

Lia wasn't the most natural dancer, but having been pushed into lessons as a kid allowed her to be confident enough to not be self conscious. Even if she didn't really think about it when she was in Emil's arms. As he pulled her closer, her eyebrows rose ever so slightly, her lips twitching as their bodies pressed together. "You're very charming, pretty sure I've had a blush on my cheeks from the second we met up." Her voice was relatively quiet, as if they were the only two in the room but they were close enough that she was sure she'd be able to hear him whisper. "I consider it very lucky." For a split second, her eyes flashed to his lips, her own parting slightly before she looked back to his eyes. "This really had made a perfect day even better.."

CALLUMS PLACE

➟@lia-lozano

It was late. Callum entered his small apartment and threw his keys on the counter before going to the kettle. "Do you want tea? Coffee?" He asked the woman who followed in behind him. When Avie had told him of her sleepover plans, he had expected a quiet night on the sofa watching catch-up replays of the all-Ireland games back home. He had not expected Lia Lozano to blow up his phone with drunken voicenotes and pictures of her night out. She had been a complete distraction, to the point he had no clue the score in the game. That's why she hit him up for a ride home; he couldn't say no. She was far too drunk to be left to her own devices, and he would worry. "Right, take those shoes off. Your feet must be killing ya'," he laughed. "I'll never understand why people wear those things," he continued with a shake of his head.

@lia-lozano Event: Halloween Party @ Golden Hour Beach Bar. It turned out Amaia wasn't capable of stonewalling him forever, there was still some shred of empathy in her and she'd let Emil take Isabel to a Halloween work party. It wasn't the same as going Door to Door around the neighborhood but they went around to all the desks and the guys set up a little child-friendly fun house on site. So, with that having taken place the evening before Emil was taking his small sliver of hope and floating on cloud nine. A drink in hand helped, of course. Just lightly buzzed enough to have stopped fiddling with his ears every five minutes. He wasn't exactly sure why but he was pretty sure he'd briefly bumped into a smug smirking Mari just moments before he spotted her. He'd heard her laugh first and his head snapped in Lia's direction without him even realizing what he was doing, gaze scanning the crowd for the familiar head of hair. Nothing could've prepared him for the sight. An amused grin danced into place when he clocked the purple-accented jet pack bag. The rest of her costume was cute but revealing and his pulse spiked immediately, not catching himself mindlessly gravitating towards her through the crowd. Sharp blue eyes traced the line of her glittering thigh-high boots, and Emil would like to claim it took longer than it did for his attention to settle on the curve of Lia's butt. He'd had to stop in his tracks to do a double-take when he registered the letter 'E' written boldly on her skin. If it was possible, he was sure his jaw would've hit the floor then and there. Just unhinged and dropped off. His brain seemed to stop functioning for a whole solid minute. Despite being dumbstruck and feeling a warmth blossom up his neck and face his feet decided to function again and before he knew it Emil was stood behind her. His palms were sweaty, his heart thudding in his chest, and a lump in his throat. No idea how to form words as his mind begged him to 'Be Cool'. Be cool, be cool, be cool. Trying to remember how to breathe he lifted a hand to tap on her shoulder and somehow managed to offer her some version of his usual lopsided grin when she turned to him. "You look... out of this world." Emil winked, pun definitely intended.

LIA'S PLACE, BEACH FRONT - LATE EVENING ➟ FT. @lia-lozano

Lia returning to Briar Ridge was the last thing on Callum's 2024 bingo card. As far as he knew, she was high-flying in the music industry and had forgotten all about the small little town, and the people who resided in it. Apparently not, as he was sitting across from her in a new beachfront house, curious why she had returned...That question would have to wait for another while as the last thing Callum wanted to do was run her out by prying into her life. She had enough of that with the media and fans. Right now he just wanted to be a friend, like she had been to him when he was a nervous kid in a new country.

"So, how long did it take you to message me?" Callum asked with a quirk of his brow. He had heard through the grapevine she had returned longer than he knew of - not that it was his business - he wanted to tease some as part of him was a little hurt that she didn't reach out sooner. Sure, it had been years but they had a bond. Well, so he thought. "I'm glad you did..." he added with a faint smile, glancing over at her.

Saturday, March 30th - Paradise Hotel ➟ @lia-lozano

Callum was mingling with some friends when something caught his eye. Well, someone. Blue hues paused mid-sip to follow the woman as she glided across the room, completely blown away. "Fuck." He downed the drink and then hurried over to her, a grin on his lips. "Well, look who it is?" He chimed. Callum gently put his arm on her shoulder and leaned in to kiss her cheek. "Look at you!" He then added with awe in his expression. "Wow!" He was still adjusting to seeing her around town but also adjusting to the time they lost. It had been very kind to her. He was blushing from just looking at her beauty.

[civanguneri]

"Luckily for you, I don't believe that is a thing." Civan countered dryly, only the bemused glint in his eyes gave way to his attentiveness. "It should be." In fairness, the core reason he barely ordered in or ate out was merely due to dietary restrictions. In another life, he too might be beckoned to the effortless whims of ordering takeaway. "It's not good for you." His obligated medical professional commentary. A scoffed hint of a laugh answered her Cat Talks admittance. Finding Lia's rant comical in part because her perspective was the opposite to his own. "I feel jilted," he teased stoically. "A night in cooking is ideal for me, and you sound like you're complaining." Absently he scanned the isle, alert to their surroundings, before he'd nod. "I'm on my own." A sigh parted his lips, fairly quick to accept his fate. He didn't have the heart to fully brush her off. "What've you got?" Civan asked as his gaze shot towards her basket. "I can help you decide what to make."

As soon as he greeted her with such little enthusiasm, Lia's face brightened and her smile only seemed to grew. "Of course it is! You haven't changed at all, Civvy, I've missed you pretending you don't adore me." Throwing a wink in his direction, Lia held herself back from giving him a hug. She always had when he had been with Mari, but the least she could do on their little grocery store reunion was restrain herself slightly.

"I am, I'm having a solo night in and if I order in one more time, I'm going to get referred to takeouts anonymous, so I'm trying to get some inspiration on what to cook." Being on her own was still something Lia was getting used to, after being around at least one person pretty much constantly before she moved home. "I just end up talking to my cat because I don't really know how to go an evening without talking, but I suppose it's fun!" Looking at the shelves next to them and then at the spice jar Civan had picked up, Lia pursed her lips. "Are you here on your own as well? Do I get to bug you for a bit longer?"

[emilmoreno]

EMIL: yes tragically I am EMIL: I just mean being asked to ask is tragic xD you beat me to it EMIL: that might be dangerous, leave me pre-occupied all night with curiosity

Lia: Mr Moreno, are you asking me on a date that I heavily implied you should ask me on? Lia: I would love to go with you. Lia: I might leave the butt writing a mystery for now. Leave you wondering, you know?

[alarakcplan]

As Alara waited on Lia to finish getting ready, she couldn’t help the smirk that had her lips curling upwards. “Lia, we both know you were just waiting for an excuse to call the fire brigade so you could have hot, muscles fire fighters come rescue you.” she teased, nudging her friend. She knew this because they had both fantasized about doing that exact thing many a time back in Nashville. 

“EW! I did not need that mental picture in my life AT ALL.” She admonished, shivering as she thought about it. As the brunette finished tying her shoe laces, Alara pulled and held open the door out of the women’s locker room for the two of them as they headed to the gym where they’d be doing a kickboxing session. “All in all though, I guess I can appreciate that Pudding saved me from having to be the one to dispose of it, so I can’t hate too much.” 

Location: Briar Ridge Rec Center Starter for: @alarakcplan

"I'm not saying I nearly called the fire brigade, but I'm also technically not saying I didn't nearly call the fire brigade." Pushing the door to her locker shut, Lia locked it with her padlock before sighing and opening it again, having locked her water bottle in there with her clothes. Opening it again, Lia pulled her trusty and oh so basic Stanley cup from her bag, checking the locker again before she locked it and pushed the key into the pocket of her workout leggings. "It was a really big spider, Lary, who was meant to deal with it?"

Sitting down on the changing bench so she could tie her laces, she set her bottle down next to her as she retied the laces on her overly pink trainers. "Eventually Pudding caught it and ate it but honestly I think that's just grossed me out even more." It wasn't the first time Lia had to be rescued from a spider situation. She sure Alara had been on the end of one of those phone calls, or ten, over their time together in Nashville. "At least I didn't call you though! See? I'm making progress!"

[emilmoreno]

"Lia..." his voice was a low, husky half-laugh. "I approached you after having very blatantly looked at your ass," Emil was throwing himself somewhat under the bus. "So no... nothing about what you just said is bad." If anyone could be judged in all of this, he felt like perhaps it ought to be him. "I'm just glad that drunk voice message wasn't a fluke," he winked at her. His grin obnoxiously broad. His face was going to hurt later from all this infatuated smiling. A contended sigh parted his lips, and the word "Good" echoed back at her. Unwilling to part from her yet, Emil hadn't even considered putting her back down. Instead, he met her in a kiss and peppered her with a few affectionate ones in its wake. One at the corner of her lips, one on her cheek, one at the tip of her nose. She was gorgeous and he was so, so stupidly elated to be able to actually be close to her like this. Though, he was trying to at least somewhat ignore the way he felt about how tightly she was pressed against him. He couldn't get too carried away.

Emil had one thousand percent forgotten they had an audience, even as lively of a backdrop as the Halloween party was. He lingered in their embrace, stealing another slow wanting kiss. Time and the world around them felt like it stood still, but eventually he did have to let her go.

The girls had known that left to her own devices, Lia would never admitted her crush to Emil, unless he had done so first but as much as she liked to think their intentions were purer than just potential humiliation, she wasn't quite there yet. But she couldn't deny that they had given her the opportunity by making it so obvious.

As much as she wanted to respond to him that is definitely wasn't a complaint, the temptation to kiss him again was a lot stronger than any desire she had to talk. As their lips touched again, Lia felt like her mind was completely clear except for one thought. How was she ever going to stop now she knew how this felt? As she heard his groan, she felt something inside her come alive and her legs tightened a little around him, needing him closer than it seemed physically possible to be.

As he broke away, Lia leaned her head back a little to look at him and she finally took a breath, although that was quickly cut off with a giggle. "Is it bad that if I knew writing your name on my ass would cause this, I might have got them to do it sooner?" She giggled again, a completely girly and carefree sound. It may not have been the most conventional way to get there, but any trace of her earlier embarrassment were completely gone.

The grin on her face was instant and wide. He had already told he liked her and proven it with how passionate his kiss was, but there was no way Lia was ever going to get tired of hearing. "Well, good." She pressed a quick, soft peck of a kiss against his lips. "Because I really, really like you too." She pecked his lips again, her arms wrapping back around his neck to savour the moment for a little longer. "I also really, really like kissing you, just in case I didn't make that clear just now."
