For All of you BACON NUTS....!

I was shopping, got into the Spice section and LÖ¿ÖK what I found...LOL

'Sea salt Infused...with hickory smoked bacon flavor'

[clannfearrunt]

Put down some bacon in the frying pan. Then add some sliced shiitake. Let it fry until the shrooms are cooked all the way through. And then you will have: this. And also about a cup of leftover grease pooling in the pan but you can use that to make something else also

#WrightBrand#WrightBrandHickoryRealWoodSmokedThickCutBacon #FlavoredThickCutBaconReview

I tried the Wright Brand Hickory Real Wood Smoked Thick Cut Bacon and it was pretty good.

This bacon was skillet cooked and later microwaved.

This bacon was firm, soft, and crunchy in texture with a light smoky with salty taste.

This bacon was light greasy taste but crunchy similar to Cracker Barrel the restaurant bacon.

My bacon slices weighed 42 g.

I would eat this again.

Got at Kroger.

The Cowgirl and The Aviator Ch4

Next installment will they kiss who knows read to find out. @smoothdogsgirl

The morning rays hitting your face woke you, and when you took in a deep breath it smelled like Jake. Then you woke up with a start remembering that you in fact were in Jake’s apartment. You looked around noticing you were in a bed and not on the couch where you remembered falling asleep. You got up and walked into the living area seeing Jake sprawled out on the couch still asleep. Gentleman indeed you thought to yourself as you opened the fridge. 

You grabbed the new carton of eggs, thick sliced hickory smoked bacon and some potatoes to make hash browns. As you cooked you turned on the small radio on the counter and turned it low enough not to wake Jake. As Alan Jackson played through the speaker you sang along as you bopped from the oven back to the fridge to put the rest of the eggs away. The station continued to play different country songs as breakfast was almost done. 

When Tennessee Whiskey started to play you swayed back and forth singing along. You hadn’t heard Jake get up as he watched you sway while making food. You happened to see him out of the corner of your eye and couldn’t help the laugh that escaped your lips. His hair was sticking up at odd angles and he looked ridiculous, but also so domestic looking that it had you thinking about waking him up every morning.

“What’s so funny?”, he asked, coming to take the spatula out of your hand. He then laid it on the counter and took both of your hands in his as he started to sway like you had earlier. Both of you smiled at each other as you both continued to dance. Then he let go of one of your hands to twirl you and the feeling in this moment just felt so right. He took hold of your hand once more as the song came to an end and he dipped you back as you laughed. 

When he pulled you back up you gestured to the stove as he let you go. He disappeared down the hall most likely to the bathroom as you finished up making two plates. He rounded the corner as you poured the orange juice into each glass then placed it back in the fridge as well. “Ya’ know I could get used to this. Rooster should bring women home more often”, he joked. “Well if this one holds steady, which I highly doubt it, it may happen more often”, you implied.

You watched as Jake took a bite of bacon and groaned. That groan had you rubbing your thighs together. “This is delicious. I'm seriously thinking about having you move in with me rather than Rooster”, he laughed. “I bet Rooster would have something to say about that”, you respond with a laugh. “Yeah well he should have been more considerate of you last night”, Jake grouched. “Well to be fair it is his apartment I’m just crashing there for now”, you explain.

Jake let it go as you both continued to eat, and you liked being around him. He made you feel good about yourself. “Tell you what. If the date on Saturday goes well. Any time Rooster brings a woman home I’ll crash here”, you say. “Sounds like a plan darlin”, he smiles. You loved when he called you that and there was something about the way he smiled that you loved. Jake was already mentally going through places he could take you out on a date, but all of them seemed dull compared to how he felt about you. 

You got up to take care of the dishes, but Jake beat you to it. “No, you already made breakfast. What kind of man would I be if I made you do the dishes”, he said. You smiled and flicked water at him and the fake shocked look that crossed his face had you laughing again. “I’m gonna head back and see if I can shower and get ready for the day”, you tell Jake. “You start work tomorrow right?”, he asks. “Yeah I’ll see you after you get done with training?”, you inquire. “Yeah I’ll see you tomorrow”, he replies. 

You got back to Bradley’s apartment and didn’t see any evidence that anyone was awake. You went straight to the guest room then it dawned on you Jake also had a guest room, but let you have his bed and he slept on the couch. You shook your head with a smile as you grabbed a change of clothes, put your dead phone on the charger and headed to the bathroom for a quick shower. When you got out and changed you realized you needed to do laundry. 

You grabbed a basket and got your clothes together to take down to the laundry room. When you got there the heat was staggering in there, but you would just have to endure. You put them in and walked across the street to the small shops. One grabbed your attention right away and you quickly walked in. The smell of books hit your nose as you started going through the different isles. 

You end up buying a couple of books for something to do on days you were bored. When you get back to the laundry room you have about fifteen minutes left on the wash cycle so you start one of the books you had bought. When the buzz sounds you place all of your clothes into a dryer and press start. The book is actually pretty good as you continue reading not realizing someone had walked in. “So where did you go last night?”, Bradley asked.

When you looked up from your book he stood there putting his clothes into a washer. “I stayed at Jake’s”, you respond. “I can’t believe you would stay with a guy you hardly know”, he gruffs. “Well I wouldn’t have had to if you hadn’t brought a fuckbuddy home”, you explain. “We were in my room and you had a guest room”, he argues. “Okay but I didn’t want to hear any of that while I was trying to sleep”, you sigh. 

“So you slept with him”, Bradley accuses. “For your information I didn’t. He was a gentleman and gave me his bed while he slept on the couch. Not that it would be any of your business anyway”, you seethed. “I’m telling you if you date him he is only going to hurt you later. He is a womanizer (Y/N). I have seen him take women home from the bar dozens of times”, he huffs. “Like I said before, if I make a mistake it’s mine to make. I’m going on a date with him on Saturday and I swear if you try to scare him off I’ll put my foot up your ass”, you reply.

“Just be careful”, Bradley sighs. “I will”, you say. “Sorry for what I said about sleeping with him”, he apologizes. “Apology accepted”, you conceded. When the dryer buzzes you take all your clothes and start folding them putting them in the basket when Jake walks in with a basket of his clothes. Bradley stiffens as Jake smiles at you and winks. You give Bradley another glare to make him stay quiet. You say goodbye as you go back to the apartment.

“So what is your plan with (Y/N)”, Bradley grills. “I plan on taking her on a date and hope for more dates after that”, Jake replies. Both men sizing each other up as they wait on their laundry. “Did you sleep with her last night and don’t fucking lie to me”, Bradley growled. “No Bradshaw I didn’t. I let her have my bed while I slept on the couch. Not that it’s any of your business”, Jake replies. “I know you think I’m some kind of skirt chaser and yeah I’ve had my fair share, but I do like (Y/N) and I intend to treat her with respect”, Jake admits. 

When you enter the apartment you decide to go ahead and clean up. Vacuuming took longer than you expected when Bradley comes in and gets ready to head out. “I’m going to meet with Mav, I'll be back later”, he said. You nodded as he headed back out the door, and continued to clean moving into the kitchen. You decide to go to the beach and swim for a while, and then lay out in the sun. 

When four thirty rolled around you made your way back towards the apartment and shower again. You're sitting on the couch when a text rolls in on your phone. It’s from Jake asking if you like chinese take out and you reply with a thumbs up emoji. It was such a random text, but you wondered if he was trying to figure out date ideas for Saturday. A few minutes later another text rolls in and you open it expecting it to be Jake. 

Unknown number and when you open it the text reads ‘YOU THINK YOU’RE SO FUCKING CLEVER! OF COURSE YOU WOULD CALL THE POLICE, BUT I AM GOING TO FIND YOU BITCH AND WHEN I DO YOU’LL BE SORRY FOR LEAVING!’. You snapshot it to keep records if you ever take it to the police. At least your brother and his family are safe now. “Bring it on fucker I’m not scared of you anymore”, you say out loud to no one. A knock on the door has you looking through the peephole.

Jake stands there holding bags in his hand and when you open the door he looks sheepish. “I picked you up some food so you didn’t have to cook tonight”, he says. “Come on Bradley’s out for a while and I was watching some reruns”, you explain. You sit down on the couch and pull the coffee table closer to you all as he sets everything down on it. “What are you watching?”, he asks. “I’m watching M.A.S.H.”, you respond. You both grab what you want and share different things from the little to go boxes. 

At some point you both end up lounging on the couch with you under his arm watching The Lost Boys. “I’m not going to lie if I was to go back in time Kiefer Sutherland would be my hollywood crush”, you say. “Okay, who is the best batman of all time?”, Jake asks. “That's easy Michael Keaton and he was also amazing as Beetlejuice”, you answer. Jake seems placated by your answer as you continue to watch the movie. 

It isn’t too much longer when Jake admits it’s getting late and that he has to go. You walk with him to the door and close it behind him after your good night. Once in bed you started reading your book and must have fallen asleep. When you woke you heard noises coming from the kitchen and looked at the clock. It was way too early and you knew it had to be Braddley getting ready to go to training for the day.

You went back to sleep and didn’t wake again until your alarm rang to get ready for the day. Your shift didn’t start until 1PM and ended at 9PM so you had a little time to kill. You decided to go to the local grocery store to buy some food items that you were going to make dinner with. When you made it back home you made your dinner so you wouldn’t have to make it when you got back home and put it in the fridge. 

You left the apartment and were thirty minutes early for your shift. When you went in Penny was happy to see you as she explained that they had needed a waitress for so long. When the first wave of people came in you went to their tables and waited on them. Everything was going smoothly even though this was the first time you had ever waited tables. By five the bar was starting to get crowded as the bartenders worked to keep up with drinks.

You felt like you were running from table to table to keep up with the influx of people when someone reached out and grabbed your arm. “Hey sweets, how about a date after you get off?”, a gruff man asked. “No thanks I’m super busy and don’t have time”, you politely replied. “Oh come on just one date I’ll make sure you feel real good”, he insisted. “Like hell, Now I done told ya’ I’m busy. Don’t make me ring that bell at the bar”, you hissed. 

The man let you go calling you a bitch under his breath, but he got the message. Penny had been watching the interaction and knew that she made a great choice in hiring you. “Hiya Penny how’s (Y/N) doing her first day on the job?”, Maverick asked as he sat down. “She is doing great. She is handling the rowdy guys and has even threatened some of them with ringing the bell”, Penny responded. “Told you she could take care of herself”, Mav sighed.

You had just waited on another table when you spotted the dagger squad come in. You waved at them as they waved back and headed for their usual spot. Jake watched as you took the table's order and headed back to the kitchen to give the order to the cook. When you came back out Jake two fingers saluted you and you smiled back at him. He seemed to be enjoying watching you work as a man got mouthy with you. 

You walked behind the bar and rang the bell, and Jake started making his way over with Coyote to deal with him as the patrons chanted overboard. “What do ya’ think darlin’?”, Jake asked. “Overboard soldier, that's an order”, you said. “Yes ma’am”, he replied, and you noticed his pupils dilated slightly. You would have to remember that for possible future use.  Watching him in his khaki uniform was like looking at art as him and Coyote tossed the man out. 

An hour later and you took your break to grab some food and sit with the squad. They were discussing their next mission, and you watched as they took bets on who would be picked as mission leader. Jake seemed upset when they all bet that it would be Rooster. You finished eating and then looked for a place to sit and had the perfect idea. You walked right up to Jake and sat down on his lap. “Relax soldier I just needed a place to sit”, you explain as he tenses under you. 

His eyes become hooded as he watches you talk with Nat about the mission, but not anything classified. He thinks he has this under control until you shift on his lap and he can feel your heat radiating from your jeans. He feels his blood start rushing south as he tries to will it away, but it doesn’t seem to help. He is totally screwed when you turn your head to smile that tantalizing smile at him. “At ease soldier”, you whisper. You can feel him twitch under you and you let out a small laugh. 

“I think we should take things slow”, he says. “I can do that”, you reply. A few minutes later and you have to get back to your shift. When you get up you notice Jake adjusts himself under the table and you smirk at how easy it was to rile him up, but if he wanted slow you could do slow. You also couldn’t wait to see where he was going to take you on your date. The mission was in two weeks so if the first date went well you were going to set up more before he had to leave.

The rest of the night goes smoothly and the dagger squad leaves except one. Jake sits at the bar waiting until your shift ends. He is talking with Maverick about something, but quickly stops talking when you clock out. Jake stands and comes over to you and explains he wanted to walk you to your truck. “I’m sorry if I overstepped earlier by sitting in your lap”, you apologize. “It’s alright darlin’ I didn’t mind”, he responds.

“Thanks for walking me to my truck”, you tell him. You turn to open your truck door as he turns to walk to his truck. “Wait”, you say. He turns right as you lean up on your toes and place a quick kiss to his cheek. By the time Jake registers what happened you’re in your truck and backing out of your spot. You can’t believe you just did that. What was happening to you? You had never done anything that bold before, and you haven’t even had a first date. 

The rest of the week is mostly the same except the dagger squad only shows up a couple more days. Nat and Bob give you their number if you ever need it, and you have to admit Bob reminded you of your brother before he became resentful of you. When Friday rolls around at the Hard Deck Nat pulls you away from the others asking what you're going to wear on your date. “I was just going to wear my usual”, you reply. “You are not going to wear Jeans and a t-shirt for your date even if it’s with Bagman”, she sighs frustratedly.

She insists that she is showing up to take you shopping in the morning. When you get home you shower and head to bed. Nat is at your door at eight in the morning and she hands you a coffee. You thank her and head off to go shopping at one of the local consignment shops. You are at a total loss as dresses aren’t your thing so you let Nat go crazy. She searches for what feels like hours as she brings a whole bunch of them for you to try on.

None of the dresses feel right, but Nat doesn’t give up as she continues searching. When she comes back with a vintage floral dress you try it on and step out of the dressing room.”Holy shit that is totally the dress you need to wear”, she beams. “I don’t know do you think Jake will like it?”, you question. “If a man doesn’t like that then they are dead sexually”, she laughs. You end up buying the dress then realize you don’t have any shoes. Nat takes it upon herself to help you in that department too. 

You refuse heels much to her dismay and so she goes and finds some cute beige lace flats that go perfect with the dress. She treats you to lunch as she asks if you know where Jake is taking you. You tell her he didn’t tell you and she smiles as if she knows more than she is letting on. “I’m sure you’ll love it”, she responds. When Nat drops you off you thank her and tell her you will let her know how the date goes. You then take time to relax until you have to get ready. 

“Are you going to be coming back tonight?”, Bradley asks. “I don’t know, but if your fuckbuddy is coming over I can crash at Jake’s”, you explain. You can see him warring with himself as he is trying to decide. “You know what, I'm sure Jake wouldn’t mind. I'll just ask to stay at his place if the date goes well. If not I can text Nat real quick as a backup plan”, you explain. He accepts that answer and that’s all the reassurance you need.

You go and get your sundress and flats on then apply a little lip gloss that Nat bought and slipped in your dress bag. When you exit Bradley is at the kitchen counter texting. “Hey Bradley, how do I look?”, you ask. “Holy shit you look great! I don’t think I have ever seen you wear a dress. Jake better not fuck this up or I’ll shoot him out of the sky myself”, he says. With that there is a knock on the door and you go to answer it. Jake stands there with a sunflower and lilac bouquet and you smile as he takes you in.

“You look gorgeous”, he breathes. “Thanks you look handsome”, you smile. Bradley makes a gagging noise behind you as you turn and flip him off. Jake offers you his hand as you make your way to his truck. He opens the passenger door for you and when he drives off you make small talk. You notice the picnic basket in the back seat and something large rolled up in the back floorboard. “So where are we going?”, you ask. “You’ll see when we get there”, he replies. 

He ends up driving up to a spot overlooking the beach and backs into a spot. “Here, take the basket of food and I’ll be down in a few minutes. I have to get the other stuff out of the truck”, he tells you. You do as he says and after taking off your shoes find a beautiful spot. Within fifteen minutes he comes down the stairs and over to the spot you picked, but you noticed he is carrying an inflatable pool and a small plastic bin. 

He puts the pool down and tells you to wait after he takes the picnic basket and sets it in the pool. He then walks to the water's edge and scoops some seawater into the bin. He brings it back and sets it right outside the pool. This way we can wash the sand off before getting in. “Jake this is amazing”, you say. “Thanks, should we eat now or later?”, he questions. “We can eat later if that’s okay with you”, you say.

You both walk down the beach and when you hear the roar of an engine you look to the sky as a jet flies over. Jake loves the way you light up and get excited about the jet. “Holy shit and you fly those. I bet it feels so liberating being able to fly”, you sigh. “Yeah it is”, Jake says, but he is taking in your every expression as the jet flies out of sight. You start walking ahead of him and stop to look out at the ocean. The light is hitting you just right and he quickly pulls out his phone and snaps a picture. 

When you turn towards him he catches up to you. You both talk about how he joined the Navy and what you studied in college. An hour later and your stomach growls so you both start walking back to the pool. When you get back you both wash your feet off and dig into the picnic basket. There was cheese, sandwiches and wine with two glasses. You teared up a little and Jake leaned forward to cup your face and wipe the tears with his thumbs. “What’s wrong darlin’?”, he asked worriedly. 

“It’s just no one has ever done anything like this for me before”, you smile. “Well you’re worth all this and more”, he responds. You had already made up your mind that if he wanted more dates you would say yes. You both ate and drank as the sun continued to lower. About thirty minutes to sunset he was leaning back on the side of the pool with an arm behind his head. You slid over snuggling into his side as he wrapped an arm around you.

The sunset was beautiful and you watched it until the sun completely disappeared making the sky turn different colors. You stayed like that for a while and you were almost asleep when he said something about taking you home. You sat up as he did as well, but put his hand behind your head and slowly pulled you towards him. You leaned in as he looked down to your lips as if asking for permission. You nodded and he took the opportunity to kiss you. It was slow and sensual until you both had to pull away for air. More kisses followed as you slowly straddled him and sat in his lap.

The kisses started heating up as his hands skimmed down your sides to hold your hips. “Darlin I want to be a gentleman but you make it hard”, he said between more kisses. He finally pulled away as you smiled at him. “How about I get you home”, he says. You nod and help pack everything up and take it back to the truck. He asks about a second date after you both are back in the truck which you agree to. A text message comes through and you realize it’s Bradley saying he had company. 

“Hey Jake”, you say. “Yeah sweetheart?”, he asks. “Roo has ‘company’ and I was wondering if I could crash at your place again”, you say sheepishly. “Absolutely”, he replies. When you make it back to the apartment complex you help him get everything put away and he lends you clothes to sleep in. You go take a shower then let him shower while you change into the clothes he gave you. 

Once you've changed and wait until you hear him leave the bathroom you go to the living room where he is lounging on the couch in nothing but gray sweatpants. “I feel bad about you sleeping on the couch. Come sleep in the bed please. I promise I’ll stay on my side and we can take this slow”, you pout. He hesitates until you grab his hand and tug. He rolls his eyes but follows you to the bedroom where you both get under the covers.

Jake watches as your breathing slows and you look completely relaxed. He hasn’t felt like this ever and it’s foreign to him but he likes it. He made up his mind he would much rather have this type of connection with you than any one night stand he has ever had. Your small snores lull him to sleep a few minutes later.

Quil x reader where quil imprints on them but he thinks they have a boyfriend already so he's just going through it like complaining to the pack and shit like that but one day reader asks him out and he's just so confused

DALTON (Ross Lynch)

MACIE (Florence Pugh)

This guy's eyes refuse to leave yours.

"Uh, sir?" You say awkwardly, trying to reach behind him for the bread.

He coughs and then smiles, chuckling awkwardly. "Sorry! I'm Quil!" He greets.

Hey, he's cute. Weird a stranger is greeting you, but you let this one pass.

"Y/n." You smile.

"Hey, I didn't know which bacon you wanted, so I got the hickory smoked." Your cousin, Dalton walks to you.

Quil moves his gaze, shifting his feet.

"Yeah, that's fine. Nice to meet you, Quil!" You wave.

Dalton smiles at him, and you two walk away. After you guys check out and get in your car, Dalton looks at you with an eyebrow raised. "Well, wasn't he a cutie." He smirks.

"Ayo, back off." You laugh. "I didn't even get his number or anything." You frown.

----

Quil slumps down on his couch. His arms are crossed and sighs. Embry pauses the game on the controller and looks at him.

"What's up with you?" He asks.

"I imprinted on a girl at the store."

"Good news, buddy!" Embry pats his knee.

"UGH, No. After I introduced myself, her boyfriend came up beside her.

Embry hisses and then sits back on the couch. They sit in silence for just a moment. "Hey, I mean, you imprinted. She's gonna come back. She will fall for you. That's if she hasn't already." Embry bumps his knee on Quil's.

Quil just shrugs and then sits up, grabbing a controller. "C'mon. Let's just play the game."

-----

Life is already easier since moving in with your cousins in their house. You're helping pay rent, and you're grown away from your family and old life.

Right now, you and Dalton are playing Jenga while Macie cooks in the kitchen. You offered to help but she gave you the stink eye, lol.

"You guys forgot the Mac n cheese!" Macie calls out.

"Marcie, you go!" Dalton hollars back to her.

All of the yelling made you bump your fingers in the jenga tower, making everything fall.

"Really?!" You groan.

"I'm over this. Want to go finish decorating your room?" He smiles at you.

"Yes!" You jump up. Before you make it into the room, something hits your back. You turn and see your car keys on the floor.

"Go get that Mac n cheese, girl." Macie snorts.

-------

"Well, what if we go for a drive?" Embry asks Quil.

"Can I listen to sad love songs?" Quil asks.

"Ya know what, if that'll make you feel better." Embry replies.

The two guys get in Quil's truck. The gas light turns on. "Bro, I need gas." Quil groans.

"Just go to the gas station. I'll get snacks you get the gas." Embry buckles up.

-----

Dalton runs outside of the gas station with coke and peanuts. You stare at him, squinting in confusion and keep pumping the gas.

"Dude, what?" You laugh.

"I saw this old lady on tiktok from Texas talk about this combo. I'm finna try it." He laughs, getting inside the car.

A truck pulls up at the pump next to you.

Two guys step out and you notice the driver is Quil!!!

"Quil!" You call out and wave.

He perks up and smiles at you. He walks over to you. The other guy follows and awkwardly looks at you. "Funny seeing you here!" Quil says.

"I know! How weird! Hey!" You wave at the other guy.

"Oh! That's Embry. He's a good friend." Quil smiles.

"I'm y/n!" You smile. "Anywho, Quil! If we are going to keep bumping into each other, I need your snap, or insta, or number." You laugh, pulling out your phone.

Dalton opens the door and steps out, waving at Quil. "Aye! It's that store guy!" He laughs.

Quil shakes his head at him, waving. He looks down and grabs your phone. "I don't have social media but I've got a number." He smiles.

Embry grabs Quil's shoulder. "I'm going inside." He says, walking away.

He hands your phone back to you. When you grab it, your fingers touch. You feel a spike of tingles run through your hand. Your fingers stay there and your eyes slowly look up to see Quil looking at you.

"I- yeah! I'll be texting you. Thank you!"

Dalton opens the door again, leaning out. "Alright, let the guy go, love. We have shit to do." He says while laughing.

You wave Quil bye and get in the seat, breathing out.

"I take it. You got his number?" Dalton asks, shoving a handful of peanuts in his mouth.

You nod your head quickly with a smile.

"You got rizz."

-----

Quil: is it weird that I'm coming over when you're alone?

You: no! It's all good.

You put the last dish in the dishwasher and sit on the couch, waiting for Quil.

Your cousins are at work and you thought it was a good time to invite Quil! Obviously, you asked them, and they were good with it. Especially, Dalton! He's hyping you up.

After waiting a bit, Quil comes over, and you sit him on the couch. He seems awkward and tense. You're beginning to wonder if he even wanted to come over. What if he doesn't want to be around you?

"So, Embry seems cool. How many friends do you have?" You ask, smiling.

He rubs his hands on his jeans on his knees, shifting a bit. "There's Jacob, Paul, Sam, Jared, and Embry. We're really tight. Always together." He chuckles.

"Oh! Awesome! Have you always lived on reservation?"

"Yup! We all have."

"Nice!"

-----

Quil in wolf form walk up to the rest of the pack in the woods.

"How'd it go?" Paul asks.

Quil growls and huffs. "It was weird! The whole time I was there I just kept thinking about her boyfriend."

"Kind of weird, she had you over there alone." Jared says.

"Why can't my imprint story be so easy?!" Quil whines.

"Mine wasn't." Sam chuckles.

-----

Dalton plops on your bed. "How'd it go, babe?" He asks.

"Not good. He was awkward. He didn't seem interested." You sigh.

Dalton rubs your back. "Girl, he's probably just nervous!"

"Doubt it. I offered food and everything. All he did was sit there and answer questions I asked. He didn't even want to stay long."

Dalton hisses and pulls his hand back. "Yikes..."

"Yeah, I know."

"Macie's good at this stuff. Let me go get her." He takes a deep breath in, "MACIE!"

His scream startled you. You thought he was going to get up and get her.

She runs inside, sitting next to you guys. "What's up?"

"Bitch, explain." Dalton tells you.

You repeat what you had said to Dalton, and Macie thinks for a moment.

"Maybe, just maybe, he doesn't think you like him. Maybe he thinks you're playing with him." She shrugs.

You consider what she is saying and Dalton is nodding.

"Valid." Dalton says.

-----

It's been a week since Quil came over. You guys have been texting, but you have to text first.

You: Quil!!!! Do you want to come over?

Quil: I can.

You sit back and wait. You can't sleep, and your cousins are passed out in their rooms. There's so much going through your mind.

You grab a think blanket and put on your house shoes. You step outside on the porch, not wanting to wake up your cousins.

You need to talk to Quil about how you feel and what's going on. You saw how he looked at you in the store. There's no denying that.

You see Quil, shirtless, walking onto your steps. The porch light is on. It's a hint of green.

"You okay?" He asks.

You pat the chair next to you. He sits down.

"Quil.. do you like me?" You sigh, closing your eyes.

"W-what? Can I even answer that?" He asks.

"What? Yes?" You look at him.

His eyes scan you. "I do." He sighs, covering his face.

"Do you want to go on a date? Maybe it'll help you feel more comfortable around me."

He looks up from his hands, and his eyebrows are furrowed. "So, you're gonna cheat on your boyfriend?!" He gestures to the door.

"Huh?" You have the biggest look of confusion.

"The guy you were with at the store and the gas station." He says, looking down.

You start giggling when you realize what's been going on. "Quil!" You slightly shove his shoulder.

"That's my cousin, Dalton. And his sister lives here too. Her name is Macie." You start laughing.

He leans back and chuckles at himself. "Maybe I should've asked instead of assuming. I feel embarrassed now." He laughs.

The door opens, and Dalton walks out with his comforter around him. He's Yawning and looks half asleep. "What's all that laughing?" He asks. When he realizes Quil is there, his eyes widen. "Oop! My bad!" He winks. "Have fun, girls." He walks back inside.

You and Quil burst into laughter. His hand touches your arm, and you look at him. You lean over and kiss his cheek. He instantly blushes and looks down.

"So, date?" He looks back at you with the cutest smile.

HOT POTATO SALAD

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup cider or wine vinegar

1/2 tsp. dry mustard

2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 tsp. sugar

1/2 cup bacon drippings and/or olive oil

2 eggs

6 cups cubed, cooked potatoes

1/2 cup chopped green pepper

Use a good quality bacon, naturally smoked, without additives and artificial flavorings, if possible. Hickory or maple flavor additives will overpower this salad. It is also important to use a good quality vinegar; avoid cheap vinegars in this salad or it will be too pungent. We prefer a good quality red wine vinegar. Some or all of the bacon drippings may be substituted with extra virgin olive oil. A pinch of cayenne may be added to the oil to perk up the flavor.

In a 4-quart saucepan, add water to onion and cook slowly until water is evaporated. Stir vinegar and seasonings into the melted bacon drippings. (Save 3 or 4 of the crisp bacon strips and crumble them to add to the salad).

Pour a small amount of the heated drippings into the slightly beaten eggs; combine with remainder of mixture and heat to boiling point, stirring constantly until thick.

Pour over still hot potatoes with green pepper and onion.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and paprika.

A Letter to My Father

That day under the water, I remember you calling out my name; Your frantic voice nearly drowned by the pounding of the waves. “Come to me,” you screamed voice breaking from the salty spray. “Come back to me!”

I feel that you should know that even now, your pleas haunt my dreams. Your voice bounding through the corridors of my mind, finding purchase in the recesses there. Only for them to come out from hiding once I close my eyes. 

My other memories of you are painted gold with that childhood gaze. The smiles over breakfast where you poured over the stove. A steaming hot plate of hickory-smoked bacon and orange slices waiting for me. 

Even as I got older the golden man still remained, glittering and true. When was it that the tarnishing began? How did you lose that brilliant luster? Midas when did you lose that magical touch?

Was it when I found the cheap perfume in your car? Or that wadded-up thong in your gym bag that you kept in your locker? Ogling my friends or staring at my professors? Or when I found that app on your phone, the flame of fury licking my soul.

At some point that fury had my heart firm in its grasp. Its gnarled claws around it, wringing my sopping, bleeding heart like a rag. Twisting and turning them into something I didn’t recognize, choking out the grief until nothing remained.

You murdered my love for you. My rage was the one who killed it, and the final blow was a knife into the back. A knife which you provided- golden hilted and studded with the stars you dragged down from the heavens.

Tears have ceased in their wells and the levees have run dry. There be not a funeral for my poor heart, only scorn for misplaced affection. And to you, my dear old Dad, I offer you this one consolation: that it went quick and did not suffer, the anguish vanished the second it had come.

Yours in flesh, daughter of your blood and bone,

Your eldest child, whom you claimed to love.

*evil boops you*

For any and all blorbs you can think of! Do they like BBQ? If so, what kind of sauce? What kind of meat? With or without slaw? Beans? Gimme the nitty gritty!! *grabby hands*

WAUGH IVE BEEN EVIL BOOPED…

😈😈😈 <- that’s me revving up the evil blorbo headcanons

Chuu likes buffet style barbecue so she can get a lil of everything but she favors brisket and anything off of Talia’s plate. Doesn’t super care for most slaw or any beans (would rather just have a dressed salad, Mayo isn’t her fave) isn’t super interested in eating meat off the bone, so Talia sometimes cuts her meat off the bone for her. (Exception for Ribs, which is like a built in handle, AND usually is cooked so it falls off the bone easily.) Gets 3 ice cream cones (each a different flavor) one after the other for desert lmfao

Tuesday (assuming he can eat XD) likes ribs 😤 hickory barbecue sauce. Smoked meats… sloppy sandwiches with pickles ….! Takes a heaping helping of slaw and politely eats pinto beans, crushes barbecue baked beans (they’re different…) gets the swirl option from the ice cream machine and makes an aesthetically stunning cone- eats only about half of it before it starts critically melting

Ishi is kinda take or leave it on barbecue- though they’re hard pressed to turn down fresh grilled meats, or ah. The name of it has suddenly escaped me. Japanese style restaurant with its own grill top where YOU grill your own meats. NOT hibachi….. damn…. Anyways. They’re not crazy on beans at all but coleslaw is decidedly ‘ok’, it’s just not their first pick!

Mochiie prefers dry rub/seasoned meats over sauces 🤔 Beef is great but goat and lamb are the best. Always gets slaw (cooling/neutralizing flavor!) is kinda neutral-positive on beans. He’ll have any kind it’s just not a selling point. Thinks about getting ice cream and then kinda nails. Has apple pie for desert instead, no ice cream

Tangy is getting everything. She’s not picky. Favorite is hot links with barbecue sauce and a big roll she can rip in half and stuff with cinnamon butter. Constantly bumps into Chuu at the ‘complimentary Ice Cream Dispenser’. They swap tricks to filling and piling high cones and chocolate sauces. Chuu once stopped talking to her for the time she saw Tangy stuff a pickle spear into her ice cream though (it was a dare and she didn’t do it again but she claims it quote ‘wasn’t actually that bad!’)

Colette crushes a rack of ribs. Or a tomahawk. Likes light sauce to savor the meat. Dominates her food (bones picked clean. And everyone else’s.) gets a polite amount of coleslaw and outright skips beans unless they’re black eyed peas n bacon. Also gets the peach cobbler if it’s available.

Levraut WANTS the big fancy steak but can never afford it and ends up with just a half rack of ribs instead. Gets beans and coleslaw cos it comes with it and kinda nibbles on both, dared Tangy to try a pickle in her ice cream just because they were both already kinda fuckin around. Gets a cup of barbecue sauce to dip stuff in rather than having his food smothered in it. Also dips his bread in it.

For fun; some side cast tidbits under the cut

Gemmini likes barbecue sandwiches- sloppy joes or brisket, but she’ll also sneak meat off someone else’s plate if they got sausage. She won’t admit out loud she likes em but. She does. Drowns things in barbecue sauce. Refuses coleslaw and beans outright. ONLY gets ice cream if they have strawberry (they never do). Will competitively eat if Skunk is there- he CANNOT be allowed to eat more than her. (This leads to some hilarious shenanigans)

Velivet would love barbecue but he’s got a lot of little ones to wrangle and make sure eat so he tends to get something that tastes good even if it gets a little soggy or room temp. Eats coleslaw to set an example for the kids to eat their greens…. Please.

Milos (Vel’s bio-son, 17’ish) enjoys brisket the best, with bbq sauce, doesn’t enjoy coleslaw but has been convinced to eat at least two bites. Likes baked beans. Gets a moderate ice cream cone of plain vanilla.

Elise (Vel’s adoptive kid, 8’ish) has to be coerced to eat something OTHER than the Coleslaw and Beans, actually. Frequently gets Milos’ leftover slaw. Will pick at plain sausage.

G’mifi (like 3, Vels adoptive kid) and gets no beans, a little bit of slaw, and a little bit of plain undressed brisket or sausage. She absolutely destroys her meats and somehow STILL ends up grubby with barbecue sauce.

Finnigin (Vel’s adoptive son, like 15) wants a barbecue sandwich, any kind, no pickles, is proud of the fact that he eats all his coleslaw even if he magically vanishes his beans onto someone else’s plate. Shares some of his ice cream cone with Mifi when Vel isn’t looking.

Chilala (9 3/4’s, adopted by Vel) is too busy trying to be ‘in charge’ of things to eat Barbecue. Vel would love it if she’d just. Sit. And eat her roll and shredded pork. Maybe even her mackedcheeze and coleslaw.

Ty for the distraction/break I gotta get back to cleaning now djdnddnsjsns
