@lia-lozano It had been a very, very long time since Emil had someone to actually properly spend Valentine's Day with. Between Isabel and his best friends, he was never alone for it but actively "seeing" someone was a whole different ball game. Historically, if given the opportunity, he was inclined to go all out. Despite his less than encouraging dating history, at the end of the day, he was still a hopeless romantic. So, once Valentine's Day was within sight Emil knew he had to enlist the help of his best friends and plot something for Lia. A cryptic series of texts started the day off. EMIL: Morning beautiful 😉 EMIL: Hope you're feeling adventurous. EMIL: You might want to go give your name at the biblical paradise Adam and Eve were cast out of. At the Garden of Eden flower shop was a flower arrangement order under her name, and in the card another clue. Sending Lia on a scavenger hunt through downtown that Kira had to help him orchestrate. Honestly, she'd been much better at coming up with the clues than he had.

"The housewives?" Civan echoed with what could only be very genuine confusion, which in and of itself easily answered her question. He did not. The dig about cleaning his kitchen was lost on him, easily ignored. Civan was a 'clean as you go' sort of man. There was barely ever any mess to clean. Well, not his own anyway, what Tanvi left in her wake was an entirely different discussion. "I... do not understand the appeal of most reality television programs." He admitted with a stiff shrug of his shoulders. A glance spared her way as they meandered the grocery aisles for dinner supplies. "The survivalist ones, maybe." Even then, they played out more like a soap opera than he'd like to sit through. Civan had not been inviting her exactly, but he hadn't not been. So it seemed easier to just accept his fate, assure Lia ate something of actual sustenance, and say yes. "Yes." With that in mind, he pulled the spice container back out of her cart. A mental note to return it before they headed to check out. "I can try to see what you're so fascinated with, I suppose." It wasn't the most eager response, but she was used to that by now with him. A quiet stiff acceptance of her eager eccentricity. "You... consider making an alcoholic beverage a replacement for a meal?" He echoed, a concerned judgmental brow arched as he shot another look over his shoulder at her. "Well, if you want a drink with dinner you'll have to get something while we are here. My home is dry." He wouldn't partake, of course, but he never minded when others did in his presence. Civan even kept a few things around for some of his favorite mocktails, because it seemed to make others more comfortable sometimes if he made himself something too.

"You've never watched it? Civvy, please." Holding a hand to her chest in mock horror, Lia shook her head as if she couldn't comprehend what was going on. "You're going to tell me you don't know who any of the housewives are as well, aren't you? This is almost too horrible to bear." Fanning her face as she pretended to hold back tears, Lia took a dramatic deep breath before dropping the act. "You've honestly never lost yourself in a reality show binge? Are you too busy cleaning your kitchen?"

Wiggling her eyebrows at him as he turned around, Lia chuckled quietly. "Competition still means I'm near the top and there was no denial that I might be at top spot, so I'll take that and run." Pushing the cart forward to get a little closer to him as he threw something else into it for her to take home. "Are you inviting me over for dinner? Would you like me to introduce you to the housewives?" Rolling her eyes a little, Lia's head turned towards the shelves, picking something up that she vaguely recognised before tossing it into her cart. "I'm just busy and I'd much rather make margaritas. Besides, I only didn't buy it because my mom kitted my house out with the essentials before I came home, I wasn't in much of a state to think about my kitchen cupboards when I got back."

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 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]

@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.

Pictured: Emil's date outfit, on theme of course. Flowers that @lia-lozano would've picked up as part of the scavenger hunt, a set of bracelets that he and Isabel made for her, Sweethearts, a gift certificate to Beauty & The Beach Salon, and her card.

I could really use your dazzling smile to help turn it around. Take pity on me? EMIL: I swear I'll make it worth your time. I know you're a hot 🔥commodity but I think I should get a EMIL: whats the... express pass? the ride thing at theme parks? to skip the lines? That.

Tired - Lia

EMIL: buenos días ☀️ Mi sol EMIL: I know we had plans for tonight but EMIL: I haven't been sleeping well EMIL: getting through the workday is going to be a struggle itself EMIL: can we rain check? EMIL: or at least change the plans? EMIL: movie night in & order takeout could be manageable

[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.."

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.

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?
