#less than 6 - 12 months in a lot of jobs: sure; red flags. I had a coworker from Hell who exemplified this perfectly

[samodivas]

so insane that HRs actually ask "why didn't you stay at your previous job(s) for more than a year? 🤨" as if it's a bad thing about the candidate when 90% of the time, it's because they wouldn't fucking pay me but they increased my workload anyway

It had been one year since Harry had moved to New York and he still couldn’t get over how dirty it could be. He groaned when he saw it begin to get sunny outside, not because he didn’t want sun— no. Because it would make the humidity terrible. A muggy New York wasn’t enjoyable to many. Though, above it all, he did like it. He had a comfortable apartment with tuning water and head and air conditioning. A cat. A toaster and working appliances. A nice bed and couch, even a tv. He had done well for himself and the pay upgrade at his new level had been immaculate. Hell, he had even gotten a girlfriend! But it just felt a bit... lacking. 

He was working hard to get closer and closer to head spots. Harry has been given a pretty good role now, going out to discuss and make deals with potential clients and brands to partner with their locations. He was a people person. His boss, he loved him. He wasn’t sure why, but his work effort and apparently his accent made people here take him more seriously than they had previously. He did well bringing in deals and sweet talking clients to better deals for their end. He saved and made them money. He sighed, resting his hand on his face as he looked over a proposal. Investments were good and always changing, which helped. Just like the city. He needed some sort of excitement. He just didn’t expect to get it so soon. The knock at his door had his sitting up, placing the paper down. His reading glasses were pulled off, making out his boss and seemingly someone behind him. 

“Styles! My boy... I want to introduce you to my little girl!”

Y/N had it all growing up. Clothes, makeup, electronics, events, trips, you name it. She did what she wanted when she wanted, always on top of the latest trends. She always had an interest in fashion which her mother was all for seeing as she herself was a designer. Some call her a spoiled brat, and maybe she was, but she was a business woman none the less. She always got what she wanted one way or another, weaseling her way into fashion week when she was 15 to befriend all the designers, so much so that they sent her free things to this day! Now at the ripe age of 22, Y/N had her own boutique showcasing her designs for special order. She did quite well for herself, seeing as she didn’t really need to worry about money. It was all sort of just finding outlets for her creativity so she wouldn’t lose her mind. 

Her father of course was disappointed that her mother couldn’t give him a son to take over the business, but pushed Y/N to take over the business once he retired. It really wasn’t happening though. It just wasn’t her thing, dealing with annoying workers who simply wouldn’t listen to her. Sounded like a nightmare, no wonder her dad was so grey. Since she didn’t want to take over the business her father had come up with another plan. Tried pairing her off with his loser interns, or potential replacements in hopes to keep his claws in the company.

She had heard so much about Harry Styles. God, her dad couldn’t be farther up his ass! Apparently he was English and smart, saved them lots of money, he was extremely well mannered. Things her dad said to butter her up usually. Of course, coming in to meet him, she wasn’t expected to see that. Her eyes instantly locked with his, only tearing away so she could scan up and down his body. She wanted him. He was perfect! Every single hair placed on his head, down to his ring clad hands, and to his work shoes. Y/N wasn’t expecting this, but god was she happy to see him. 

“Hi Harry, it’s so nice to finally meet you.” She hummed, turning up the charm.

“Hello, it’s nice to meet you as well, Y/N.” Harry stood from his desk and rounded it to be polite, reaching his hand out. His smile was genuine, but his mind was nervous. His boss had often brought up Y/N in passing and said how he wanted her to marry someone from the company so he could know he was a good man, wanted him to meet her so badly, and now was that chance. It wasn’t that she wasn’t attractive— because fuck, that would be a lie. She was beautiful. Silky hair and glossy lips, chest on display and legs for days. Perfect hips and probably thighs, she was an absolute catch. But she was trouble. He could see it in her eyes and her cat like smile. She wanted something. He could see her mood shift from exasperated with her father for making her come, to interested. Which he wasn’t sure was dangerous or not. 

“Your father has told me a lot about you. It’s nice to finally meet you in person.” He murmured, trying to take his hand but failing when her grip tightened for a moment before actually letting go. He felt uneasy. She was looking at him like a cat that looked at a mouse— but he hid it easily.

“All good things I hope.” Y/N cooed, letting a little giggle as their hands separated. “I’ve heard lots about you as well, Daddy says you’re doing wonders for the company.” She smirked, knowing her father wouldn’t be too pleased with her letting Harry in on something but then again, she was playing the game. Y/N wanted Harry to know she had the power to make things happen for him but just as easily take them away. “I’m sure you’re very busy, but you should give me your number and we can do lunch sometime? I’d love to hear all about what your plans for the company are.” Y/N was kissing ass. God, she was practically oozing out desire. She was phrasing things so he couldn’t say no. She wanted to spend more time with him and she would, especially without her father so she could actually pull some moves. Her father had clearly gotten the hint that she liked Harry, smiling to himself. 

“Think that’s a wonderful idea sweetheart. It would be good for you, Harry could teach you a lot of things.” He nodded and Y/N’s smirk only deepened, “I’m sure he could...” She hummed, licking over her lips.

Harry could tell she was cornering him. Especially with the look she was giving him. She was quite a smooth talker and he could tell that just by looking at her that he was going to be in trouble. It made him feel a bit panicky inside. 

“Um... sure, yeah. I’d be happy to tell you about business.” He said clearly. Y/N looked like she didn’t care though, a laugh coming from her when he handed her his phone. The lock screen was his girlfriend, Caroline. She was a very sweet girl. Truthfully, she was a tiny bit too pushy when it comes to moving along. They’d been together for 6 months and she was trying to get them to move in together but he wasn’t ready yet. She was great but he still felt.. a bit flighty. She wasn’t exactly what he wanted but she was a lovely girl. He did like her quite a bit despite it all.

Y/N has typed in her number and the rest of her information onto his phone and texted herself his contact. She was going to make sure she had everything that she needed. She locked his phone and tapped the screen again seeing the photo of him and some girl. She was pretty, but she was alright. 

“Who’s this?” Y/N asked, looking over the photo for a minute before he answered. “Awe, isn’t that sweet.” She replied, her tone fake as all hell. She wanted him. That girl would be gone, she definitely wasn’t the type of girl who was going to give a man like Harry what he needed. Oh no. If he was the one inheriting her father’s company then he surely would be with someone just as driven, attractive, and interesting. Herself, she mostly meant herself and only herself. “I’ll see you soon then?” She raised a brow, already going to check her schedule. “I can do tomorrow at 12:30 if that’s good with you?” Y/N wasn’t asking, she was telling him the plan. “I’ll text you to address.” She smiled before he had the chance to answer. “It was lovely meeting you, Harry.” She smiled, going up to him and kissing his cheek. “Bye.” Y/N giggled and with that she made her way back to her father giving him a kiss on the cheek and a quick ‘bye daddy’ making eye contact with Harry and winking before leaving his office. 

Harry knew that women like Y/N wouldn’t let go easily. He knew that. It was just hard when he had the bit of internal want there too. He knew that he was bad for that, yes. He had a girlfriend. But the same way Y/N was drawn to him, he felt it. Which is exactly why he was going to push it all the way down. If it was at a bar and she was someone random? He would try it, but this was his boss's daughter. Every single red flag was there. Everyone. He worked so hard to get to where he was and he knew that this could single handedly destroy everything he worked for. If he was late for a date or got the wrong chocolates she could potentially kiss his career goodbye. He didn’t like this. His stomach hurt with nerves, feeling like he was going to be cornered into a wall and he hated it. He hated feeling nervous and worried because a woman like Y/N didn’t give up. She had the world handed to her and knew how to get what she wanted.

Y/N was excited though, finally one of her father’s prospects were actually promising! She couldn’t believe it, he’d actually chosen well not only for the job at hand but for her as well. 

“Daddy, I like him.” Y/N spoke on the phone to her father while she was getting her weekly mani pedi. “I need you to make sure you keep him around, okay? I’ll be in the office more... just— please make it happen?” She pleaded, knowing that as far as her father was in the loop she’d be okay. 

Later that day she had texted Harry the address to the restaurant that wasn’t too far from the building he worked at. It would be perfect for when they’d walk because together and Y/N would meet with her father to discuss what she could do for him. She wanted it to be perfect, wanted to get inside that beautiful head of his and hopefully get him to fall in love with her. She knew that she often came off as a crazy psycho bitch, but she could be nice and funny and sweet when she wanted. It just wasn’t something she wanted to do. People go nowhere being nice in her world, she learned that the hard way. 

----

There was no way he was going to ignore the brunch. Not after his boss had called him and said to take it easy today and take his time getting back to the office, wishing him well for the brunch. She had her father in the loop. She knew her power. He had put on normal work clothes, sunglasses on his head as he made his way in. Apparently she got a private table which made both fear and excitement rise in his head. He squashed the later down, making his way with square shoulders to her. He could be polite. Tell her business things. But he wasn’t going to develop into personal matters. He had a feeling that’s what she wanted but was hoping she may genuinely just be curious. 

“Hello, Y/N. I apologize I’m a minute late, the hostess wasn’t at the front and I couldn’t see you back here.” It was a back patio, beautifully decorated with vines and flowers and had a beautiful brick. It was great. Too bad he felt on edge. She looked gorgeous, but he had the feeling it was hard for her not to.

Y/N smiled when she saw him, admiring his choice of outfit. Did he always look this good? She hoped so. So clean and professional even when not wearing a single item of designer. That’s what Y/N called fashion, being able to pull off a look. They’d look great together. She could already see it all now, just how many events they’d go to. The dream. 

“No worries, Harry, I’m glad you could make it.” She cooed, “hope you don’t mind being out here... don’t really like being in there when it’s too crowded.” Y/N explained though it really was an attempt to just get him alone and really get to know him with ease, to not have to talk over anyone in a restaurant or have prying eyes. “Daddy said to put everything on his tab so, feel free to order as you please.” She told him, “he’s really excited to see me get out more, wants me to know more about the business... thinks you’ll be a good influence on me.” Y/N could tell he was nervous though, smirking to herself as she sipped on her mimosa. “Why are you nervous?”

“Hm? Oh, I have a big meeting with a client later.” He did, but he wasn’t nervous. She made him uncomfortable in the oddest way but he wasn’t going to tell her that. “The bigger accounts are a bit harder to navigate but it’ll be alright.” He paused when the waitress came over, seemingly pleased at Harry's presence. He knew he was decent looking. He was just polite, ordering water and a plate of French toast. He wasn’t drinking around her. No fucking way. “So what about the business were you interested in particularly?” He folded his hands in front of him. Was it an excuse to get him to come and see her? Most likely. Y/N was clever and quick and he knew that she thrives off of that and the fact that she thinks she’s going to get him. Her acrylic nails looked sharp.

Y/N smirked, knowing full well he was lying but she was going to let it go for his sake. He of course knew she was aware though, it made her feel a bit more smug. She was completely relaxed, just watching him as he spoke and sat all stiff in the chair. She wanted him to feel comfortable around her, but that would take a while. She needed to break him in. 

“You.” She flirted, taking a sip of her drink once again. Y/N wanted to know about the business if it involved him of course. He couldn’t exactly walk out either, her father would be very disappointed. “What? Does that come as a surprise to you?” She asked, genuinely amused. He was a good guy. He wasn’t even trying anything, he was pushing back even! Where on earth did her father find him? “Tell me about how you ended up over here in New York.” She started off small, deciding that she would ask the things she wanted to know that were less personal before she started convincing him about how he should break up with his girlfriend because he could do so much better.

God damn it. He truly was a cornered puppy. He couldn’t very well leave because he wasn’t going to let her father pay the tab. He was a gentleman in all aspects and even if he didn’t want to be here, he would stay and make it clear he couldn’t do anything with her. 

“That’s very nice of you.” He cleared his throat. “I can’t say I can get too personal however, I ended up here because I excelled in the London branch. Your father was impressed with my work and made it so I was transferred here.” He explained. “It was a nice change of scenery. New York is something else. Plus, I’d like to continue to grow in the company through the years and I’d have to be at the main branch to do so.” Y/N looked like she was eating every bit of information and that made him second guess what he was saying. Why was she so interested in him out of all people? He had nowhere near the money her father did. Wasn’t a big profile. He was a boring business guy with a fondness for cats, vintage things, and his guitar. Y/N furrowed her brows at his comment about how he couldn’t get too personal.

“Why not? I’m your boss's daughter, not your boss, Harry. There’s nothing wrong with making a friend, hmm?” She decided that that was the best way to get him to agree. Have him understand that though she was interested in him as far more than a friend, she wanted to get to know him. “Do you miss London?” She asked genuinely, “Feel like New York’s so different, doesn’t give you the same level of comfort.” Y/N shrugged, “sometimes wish we just moved over there instead but.. Daddy loves it here.” She sighed before asking her follow up question. “Do you travel a lot?” She wanted to make sure she covered all the bases, wanted to know what he was into and what he did in his free time. Y/N might seem like a bit of a snob but she could appreciate the little things. Maybe it was the perk of being raised by nannies? They gave that touch of humble that her parents never really handed down to her. 

“I think you’ll find a lot of success here though. Everyone loves you. Daddy’s always going on about how much you do for the company... don’t think you have much competition if you’re worried about not getting the promotion.” Y/N said honestly, “don’t think he trusts anyone else and to be honest, I wouldn’t either.”

“I do miss London, yes. Especially the food.” He was trying to keep the conversation in neutral territory. This was harder than he had originally thought, but thankfully she was talking about work and that he could talk about. “Thank you, I’m glad you both have confidence in me.” He let himself smile, happy to be in on that. “I want it but I do think I have a ways to go. I want to properly work for my promotions, learn the bases so that when I get there I can be the most knowledgeable.” That wasn’t a secret. Harry absorbed information like a sponge. “I do love working for this company. It’s where I’ve wanted to be for a long time and to see it shaping up is amazing. I wouldn’t risk it for anything.” A little comment he hoped she caught. “It’s nice to be able to get my mum a good Christmas gift too.” He said for a moment, forgetting she couldn’t relate to being broke.

Ah, he was one of those. She should have expected it, but something about him seemed too good to be true. He just kept getting better and better with every moment of speaking to him and she was growing more and more frustrated because well. One, he had a girlfriend who definitely didn’t realize the incredible man she had on her hands and two, that he wasn’t asking her anything about herself. Did he not want to know? Of course he did. Y/N caught his comment but chose to ignore it. She didn’t think of it as a risk, it was more of an investment. 

“That’s always a nice feeling.” Y/N smiled at his comment about his mom, thanking the waitress as she brought out some appetizers. “As far as that goes, I don’t really think you have /anything/ to worry about.” She made it sure he too would understand her point. “So New York’s been treating you well then... how long have you and....” She pointed to his phone waiting for him to give her a name. “Caroline— how long have you and Caroline been together?” Y/N wanted to dirt, if he wasn’t going to give it to her himself she’d have to pull it out of him herself.”

He took her words into consideration. The thing was— he didn’t know her. He was going to be as nice as he could be until she started pushing buttons but she had the self destruct right in the palm of her dainty hand. He was worried about that. 

“Oh— yes, Caroline.” He smiled. “She’s lovely. Met her through some friends. We’ve been together for about 6 months.” He did like her but there was no passion and excitement behind his words. Fondness, sure. But that was about it. “New York has been treating me well. I like it. I don’t love the smells but, such is life.” He sighed, shrugging his shoulder before taking a bite. “Have you lived here your entire life?” He didn’t know that. He knew that she had a pony that her dad bought her because he had told him the story before, so he wasn’t sure where she lived. Where the damn pony was, but it was a tame question. Safe.

Y/N could tell just from the way he talked about her that she wasn’t what he wanted long term. If he really liked this girl, he’d be on the edge of his seat with fire burning in his eyes as he told her about how amazing she was. Instead he was sitting there, looking at Y/N with pupils dilated. 

“So you like her, but she’s not what you really want huh?” She stated simply, chuckling at his stunned expression. “Sorry, am I wrong? Dunno, feel like after six months someone’s a bit more than lovely.” Y/N knew she was pressing a button but she wouldn’t be pushing it if she knew she was wrong. “Or, you’re just being choice with your words... cause it’s me, don’t want me knowing too much. I get it.” She was reading him like a book. “Don’t ever underestimate me, save yourself the effort and the nerves.” And just like that she was already on to answering his question. “In New York? Yes, in the city no. My childhood home is in the Hamptons, but we all moved into the city when I graduated highschool.” Y/N explained, “it’s... nice? I live on my own on the upper east side, run my own boutique and help my parents out where I can. I’ve got lots to do, but yeah... wish I had more fun things to do.”

He didn’t want to be a play toy for an heiress. Yes, maybe she was correct about Caroline but he wasn’t about to dump her because she thinks he should. At least, that’s what her talk sounded like. He hated that she could read him. 

“Oh. That sounds nice, having your own boutique. I’m sure there’s plenty of fun things to do if you look hard enough. I’ve been focusing on work lately but I know there’s plenty of things out there if you look elsewhere.” No. He wasn’t giving in to her even though he knew that’s what she wanted. Y/N was going to try and wear him down, but he was hoping he could start early with ignoring the obvious digs. “Is the boutique what you’d like to do? Or do you have other career options you’d want to look at?” He asked, trying to keep his actual curiosities at bay. There were lots he wanted to know but this was one of them. A safe one.

The fact that he even ignored her little dig said enough. The point of that was more for him to know that she could read him and that he shouldn’t try and hide from her because it only made things more obvious. Maybe it was her being hyper aware, having learnt all the tricks people used to get close to her or better yet fuck with her heart. 

“I mean it’s amazing, it really is. I love designing and getting actual pieces out for people to wear and buy... try to make sizing as inclusive as I possibly can because I know there is a market for high end plus size clothing.” Y/N explained, “I guess it’s more of myself wanting to branch out. I like doing lots of things, but can’t seem to separate my own work from my parents.” She chuckled, deciding to be a little vulnerable and she wasn’t that girl. “Maybe it’s a bit cheesy, but ultimately what I want is a family.” Y/N knew it might be a bit much but if she wanted him to understand her, if she wanted him to be a friend and not just some guy who works for her dad, she had to show him who she was. Not that she ever hid anything anyway. “Really just want to be a mom and spend all the time in the world I can with them... I have the privilege of not needing to worry about financial stability so.. yeah.”

He was surprised that she was being seemingly vulnerable with him. This... this type of Y/N? He could like. He could be friends with. When it didn’t seem like there was an ulterior motive, he could definitely be more comfortable. 

“That isn’t cheesy. It’s something that’s very nice, Y/N. I do want a family one day so I can understand it as well.” He didn’t want her to think wanting to be a mother was bad or cheesy. It was admirable. His mum worked hard and raised both himself and his sister while their father worked an office job. They’d never been rich or even super comfortable, but they’d made ends meet. “I think going in a fashion route is good. Especially expanding in sizes if you see a niche in the market for it.” He praised that decision. He was in an investment firm. “It will be difficult to do that with affluent parents however, your work will surely speak for itself in the fashion industry if you want to continue down that path.” He had faith this woman could get nearly everything she wanted, but he could understand being frustrated by her parents' influence.

“I’m glad you think so.” Y/N smiled, feeling herself get all warm and fuzzy inside because no only was he being extremely sweet and kind, but supportive? He had officially ticked every possible box Y/N had for someone she wanted to date and marry. The poor man didn’t realize that he had just signed himself off to being hers without knowing. She’d stop at nothing for him. “What do you do when you’re not investing then? Hmm?” She asked, taking a bite of her eggs Benedict. Y/N felt like since she was more vulnerable he could be too, maybe he’d show her a side to him she didn’t know about, a side that she could possibly relate to. It was so strange, having a man not giving into her despite her attempts. She’d never had this happen before but it made her want him more. Y/N could only hope that he could see past the exterior of her and realize that she was the perfect candidate. She was exciting, young, had money, offered him job security, and most importantly incredible sex. All with time though, she’d get him to crack.

“I play guitar. I have a kitten, he’s growing up fast. Um... I watch documentaries quite a bit.” He admitted. Harry wishes he didn’t have to be so careful but he could still see too much interest in her eyes and he was nervous about her wanting more than just a simple friendship or work relationship. One slip up with her could cost him his job and life here. He’d have to start from scratch at a new company. It wasn’t what the man wanted at all. “I collect records? So I listen to those. I do a lot of research on my own time. Uh, go to bars with friends though I’m not much of a bar hopper.” This wasn’t anything he didn’t want anyone to know, so why did he feel so odd telling her? He didn’t want to unfairly judge Y/N, because so far she had been nice. Pushy, but nice.

“Really?” Y/N’s eyes had properly lit up and she put her fork and knife down. “Do you have pictures? Can I see him? What’s his name?” Y/N was so excited, it would probably be embarrassing to most but she only ever was this soft with animals and babies. “Oh my goodness!” She cooed at the photo, “I have to meet him!” Again, it wasn’t a question, it was a statement. “My mom never let me have pets growing up because of the furniture and now I travel too much... I would hate to leave a little angel all alone or even have them go elsewhere...” Y/N sighed, picking up her utensils again and felt herself get all giddy inside. Harry really was perfect. “That’s cool! So you’re like a proper vintage guy then?” She raised a brow, already thinking of all the cool things she could get her hands on for him. Even if they weren’t dating Y/N would probably do it anyway just because she was so damn fond of him. He was being so incredibly sweet, on a lunch date with her because he wanted to keep his job. It sort of made her sad, but she’d never admit it to him. Y/N wished he didn’t have a girlfriend and that she met him elsewhere so that there wouldn’t be this massive problem. Wished that it was different so that he’d want her and treat her nice. She was still very determined to get him. She knew she would.

He could see a bit of Y/N he was positive other people didn’t. Or, he thought so. There was a lot of softness in there that she definitely hid. He wondered why but had to remind himself that it wasn’t his problem. It hurt to think like that because Y/N was so sweet right now but he was protecting himself. Being kind was a given but he needed to set boundaries if she tried to push past them. He didn’t miss the fact she said she was definitely going to meet his kitten. When the brunch ended, Harry put his cash on the table. 

“I’m sorry, I’m going to be late. I will walk you to your car though?” He wasn’t sure if she had a car or if she walked, whatever it was. He wasn’t sure how to go about this. His head needed a break so he could refocus.

“Oh, that’s fine. Don’t worry about that though, I’m actually meant to be headed back to the office to meet my father anyway. He wants me to help with some things, but thank you for the offer that’s really sweet.” Y/N smiled softly at him, not forgetting to thank him for paying for the meal though he really, really didn’t have to at all. That just made it more of a date. As they walked out Y/N hummed, placing her sunglasses over her eyes as they began walking down the street towards the office. She stayed relatively quiet on their way there, just minding her own business. It wasn’t awkward silence though, perfectly comfortable even up to when they got to her father’s floor. “Thank you so much for coming, I had a really nice time.” Y/N smiled warmly at him, genuinely meaning it this time and he could definitely tell. “We’ll do this again.” She hummed, again kissing his cheek before bidding him a goodbye and heading towards her father's office. Y/N was persistent.

----

He couldn’t get her to back off. Every week, Harry has a new gift from her. A rare record. Gourmet cat treats for Oliver. A vintage Rolling Stones tee shirt. It was driving him crazy. He had told her over and over that it wasn’t appropriate to give him gifts and yet, every week he ended up with her placing one on his desk. Nearly every day though, she would be at the office and would spend an hour lounging in his office. When she would get too flirty Harry would shut it down with a simple reminder that she was being inappropriate. To which she would laugh and roll her eyes. 

Today though, he was probably going to lose it. Caroline and him had gotten in a fight the night prior because she was trying to slowly move into his place without him knowing— but he knew. And while she had originally come to apologize, it turned into a whining fest. 

“Haz, please? It’s been 6 months. It’s really time to take it to the next level.” He winced at the nickname. God, he hated that shit so much. The cringiest one. 

“Caro, love... no. I’m not ready to go further than what we are doing now. Sleepovers are what we’re doing. I can’t rush into such a decision.” He pinched the bridge of his nose.

“It’s not rushing! I barely get to see you as it is. It’s not fair.” And she had a point. Harry hadn’t been close lately. 

“I’m busy, I’m working. I’m sorry.”

Y/N had seen the tall blonde enter the office. She knew that she shouldn’t be nosy, shouldn’t interrupt and it probably took her about 10 times to convince herself that she needed a reason to go over there. So, she waited till her father had a paper or two that needed to be given to Harry and she strutted down with her plan set. She knocked on the door twice as usual and stepped inside with a bright smile on her face.

“Hey! I— oh.” Y/N paused and closed the door behind her. Showtime. “Didn’t realize you had company, my apologies.” Y/N spoke and walked over to hand him the papers, noticing he had been burning the candle she’d gotten him. Oh he made it so fucking easy. “I’m glad you like the candle though, they make one in those sent for the wax burner you have.” Y/N remembered he had mentioned that he couldn’t burn it in the house because Oliver was still quite curious and he was nervous about him knocking something over.

Harry closed his eyes. God damn it. Y/N was a pretty, rich girl. Young. Hot. And Caroline did have a bit of a jealous streak. She wouldn’t at all be okay with thinking Y/N was over at his place. She already was having her insecurities.

“Thank you, Y/N—“ 

“Wait— how do you know about the wax burner?” Caroline was making his blood pressure rise. God damn it. Why? He was just trying to get work done and two women were going to have a pissing contest over him— one who didn’t even have a right to? 

“Girls, that’s not important—“

“Yes it is? Is she why you’ve been busy?”

Y/N was smiling on the inside but part of her wanted to leave and let him explain. Of course, Y/N didn’t want to make it seem like she was doing it on purpose so she got a bit defensive. 

“It’s not that hard to find out, I gave him a candle and he told me why he couldn’t burn it in his house.” Y/N spoke calmly, watching the woman narrow her eyes at her. “What, you haven’t heard of being attentive?” Okay, maybe that was a bit much. “All the information is on the papers, H. Don’t have to brief you. See you later.” She said calmly, she knew it would get under the woman’s skin and made her way out of the office and back towards her fathers. Maybe she was evil, but she was a little pot stirrer. She wanted things to bubble over on their own, Y/N just had to be there to catch him. 

“Who is she? She seems awfully comfortable with you.” Caroline was getting antsy. She could tell how on edge Harry got when Y/N walked in the room, of course she would assume something was up. Even if she was assuming wrong. The thing was, he couldn’t technically be mad at Y/N because she hadn’t done anything inherently bad. Sure, she mentioned something no one would know unless they were close but it was a simple thing. 

“She’s Y/N, the boss's daughter. She’s been very welcoming.” He said simply, taking a swig of his coffee. For fucks sake. He was going to die if these women didn’t give him a break. 

“Why is she giving you candles? It’s weird. How much time do you spend with her?” She asked, obviously not happy. 

“I don’t know why she gave it to me, to be nice? Love, you’re completely overthinking this. She helps her dad out and runs papers. Sometimes she chats and asks me business questions. Nothing that you’re thinking about is happening.” He promised. It wasn’t. He hadn’t laid a hand on her. Y/N was touchy. Liked to fix his tie or his hair and multiple times he had said to not, it was appropriate. She didn’t seem to care— but he wasn’t going to tell Caroline that. 

The girl just nodded, leaving the office. Harry has told her not to come if it wasn’t urgent because he was usually busy. And now she wonders if he was busy with papers or in between the leggy girl’s thighs. Of course it was fate that had her almost crashing into her on the way out. Never in her life had she felt territorial over a man like this but Y/N was an obvious threat. 

“What is going on with you and my boyfriend?” She asked seriously.

Y/N was simply going to get her father and herself another coffee when Caroline nearly knocked her off her feet with how fast she was moving. If that wasn’t enough to piss Y/N off, the girl had the nerve to speak to her in a threatening tone in her father’s building? This girl didn’t know what she was doing clearly or how spiteful Y/N could be. She was trying to be nice originally, but she didn’t appreciate her tone or the look she had in her eyes. 

“Unfortunately nothing, yet.” Y/N responded in a snarky tone, “but you keep at the jealous girlfriend look, it’ll do you wonders.” She rolled her eyes and blocked her when she tried to storm out. “I better not see you in this building again? Got it?” Y/N raised her brow, “have a nice day.” She smiled at her, pushing past her to walk back towards her father’s office. Oh Y/N was livid. Livid. 

“That fucking bitch!” Y/N slammed the door with her foot behind her, moving the coffees on to her father’s desk. “Harry’s girlfriend was here and was chatting to him when I went to drop papers off.. I simply made a comment about the candle I gave Harry and she went off... stopped me in the hallway and questioned me all threateningly, like she had the fucking right.”

“Take what she wants.” Her father said easily. “You’re trying to. She thinks that. Take what she’s been trying to keep. I think you and Harry are a lovely couple. It’s a shame he doesn’t see the vision yet, however he will come around.” He was positive. He wanted the upper hand. Yes, he loved Y/N and wanted her happy, and Harry would promise that but he would ultimately have someone to give the company to, and still be involved. Keep it in his family. It was perfect. “I know my daughter, and I know you’re relentless enough that he should be cracking soon. Go talk to him. Comfort him. If his girlfriend was causing issues, being a source of comfort could help. Make a move.” He suggested. An evil man was always a business one.

So that’s what Y/N did. 

She took a second before making her way over to Harry’s office again. This time it wasn’t to give him papers or flirt or anything like that, it was to genuinely check up on him. Y/N knew she had been pretty forward and though he had told her to stop she was still being pretty relentless which, if the tables were turned, would be very problematic. It probably was now too. Y/N knocked twice on the door and stepped inside.

“Harry?” She asked in a soft and gentle tone, one she didn’t use with anyone. She closed the door behind herself and stood there, looking at him. “Are you alright?” She asked softly, “I didn’t mean to cause all that... I’m sorry if I did.” She really didn’t mean to make it that big of a mess. “Know you might not want to talk to me, but... I am here to listen if you need me to.” Y/N offered, hoping that he didn’t take it as some ploy to try and get to him. She really did just want to be there for him. She didn’t want to make it about her, which was rare, even though he could appreciate that.

“Yeah... m’okay, thanks. You didn’t say anything wrong. You just said an innocent comment but, she’s been a bit angry lately with me and thinkin’ I’m avoiding her so it made her upset.” He murmured. She wasn’t trying to get to him. She was genuinely asking and he could tell from the look on her face. It felt really nice, actually. Having someone ask him. He didn’t have his mum or dad or sister here so, seeing someone at least care a bit was nice. “It was... you just said wax melters? Am I crazy?” He rubbed his forehead. “Fuck. There’s nothin’ going on with us and still, she assumes. I’m good, Y/N. Thanks for checking on me.” He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, expecting her to let herself out.

“She asked me again when she was leaving... what was going on between us, and I told her nothing..” Y/N wanted to be honest with him too, wanted to let him know so he realized the level of jealousy his girlfriend was having. She didn’t want to leave him like this, she could understand the feeling to an extent but she would only leave if he asked her too. Y/N noticed he was too much in his head, clearly struggling to ground himself so she took the initiative. She moved to sit in his lap, her hand gently cupping the side of his neck and rubbing her thumb over the soft skin. She knew nothing technically was going on between them, but was there actually nothing there? Maybe now was the time to ask? “Know I’ve been really forward with you and I apologize if it’s been too much, because if that’s something that’s causing your stress I’ll back off— I will.” Y/N spoke gently, knowing he wouldn’t want her to, but she had to at least offer.

He hated how good her touch felt. How he wanted to melt into it and let her give him attention but every time he thought about giving in, he would remember his job. The years of being a stupid coffee boy. He couldn’t do that again. However right now, he felt vulnerable and upset at Caroline for doing that shit and especially confronting Y/N when realistically she hadn’t said anything wrong. 

“You’re not... fuck, Y/N.” He groaned. “I hate that I like when you tease me and touch me. I can’t like it, I can’t like you. It puts me in so much danger.” Plus, he was overcome with thoughts about her in his most intimate moments. The last two times he’s had sex with Caroline, he thought about Y/N instead. Took her from behind and imagined her unstead. It was so wrong. He knew that. “It’s okay. I just... you make it so hard for me.” He knew there she knew that. Especially when he felt her hand gently caress his cheek and her soft little pout. “It’s not fair that you’re everywhere and I can’t stop thinking about it when I get home... fuck. It’s so frustrating and I can’t even hate you for it.” He couldn’t never hate her. “Do you know how crazy it’s making me? When you come in here and make me want to cheat just by batting your lashes at me? It’s so fucked and unfair that all you have to do is giggle and I want to risk my fucking job— fuck.” He hissed. “And I can’t tell if you’re toying with me or like me for real. I can’t tell and It drives me mad.”

Y/N felt her heart swell up at his words. It felt tight in her chest, so many words buzzing through her mind as she tried to figure out what she could say first. God, she just. 

“I really like you Harry.” She said simply, forcing him to look in her eyes, her voice soft and quiet. “And I don’t want you to feel like you have to hold back because of who I am— I'd never do that to you, or to anyone for that matter.” She searched his eyes for a moment, feeling out the silence before speaking again. “And I’m not one to go after someone who is spoken for, but it’s you... you just have to be so damn perfect and I can’t help but feel like I can treat you better than she can... especially after what happened today I—” 

His silence was killing her. She was so thankful that he liked her, that he felt the same way she did but he didn’t want to risk his job and didn’t want to be a bad guy who cheats. Y/N wished he could understand she wasn’t asking for either of those things necessarily. It wasn’t even that he had doubts that she could treat him better. He quite liked the idea of her. He would need to open his heart to her but that wasn’t an option. Would it ever be? Maybe once he got the promotion but nothing could stop this growth he was wanting. However, she looked so soft. So so sweet and sincere as she told him that she thought he was perfect. Y/N being honest? It was something he liked. When she was like this and it dialed down her brat attitude, that’s what he enjoyed. 

He didn’t think before he did it and that was his fault, but he grabbed her face, and kissed her. He wasn’t able to stop himself. 

Just as she thought she’d fucked it up, his mouth was on hers. She wasn’t dreaming, this was really happening. She let one of her hands tangle in his hair, wanting to take advantage of what could be the only chance she had at this, a soft pleased moan muffled against his lips. Y/N let him have full control of this kiss, letting him take what he needed from her so that she could prove just how submissive she could be if he only let her be. She wanted him so bad and she felt like she’d finally gotten something from him, even if it was just a little kiss it was already a massive step in the right direction. When he tried to pull back she deepened the kiss, desperate to keep this moment going for as long as possible. She didn’t want it to end, didn’t want him to decide it was a mistake, Y/N just wanted to cherish it and remind herself that a nice man could like her and treat her well.

Harry knew that this kiss was going to place him in a lot of dangerous areas. Y/N would be relentless on getting more— which secretly thrilled and terrified him at the same time. Caroline, She couldn’t ever find out about this. But mostly? Her mouth was perfect. She tasted sweet and had a hint of coffee and some sort of sweet gloss, but he didn’t care. He loved it. He let himself lose, allowing the kiss to deepen. Her tongue running against his and the softest, most cock teasing noises coming from her as she clung to him. Submissive and soft and fuck, perfect. It pained him to pull away, Y/N chasing his mouth and pecking him as he tried to speak. Though, he wasn’t trying to truly stop her yet. 

“Baby— no...” He felt her bite on his bottom lip, his heart beating. “Shit— Y/N, we can't.” He finally pulled away, taking in deep breaths. Fuck. He had fucked up. So why didn’t it feel like it?

The pet name rolled so beautifully off of his tongue that her heart fluttered despite the fact that he was telling her to stop kissing him. It hurt her, of course, having to be the better choice but never being the priority. With soft pleading eyes, she sat with a pouty lip while her finger slowly twirled around a curl at the base of his neck. 

“Why is it so wrong?” She asked softly, “Yes, you’re with her but... if you want me, you can break things off.” Y/N knew it was easier said than done but she was giving him an option. “And I’m pretty sure my father cares more about you more than me...” She chuckled sadly. She wished she was joking too. Y/N was soft and vulnerable now, having gotten a taste of what she wanted most. She didn’t want to go back to her apartment and be all alone. She wanted warmth, wanted someone to love and someone to love her. “Why is it such a bad thing to want me?”

“That isn’t true. He loves you. I think he finds it easier to talk to me because I’m a male and in business. You’re his daughter.” He tried to soothe. God. He just made shit a million times more difficult. “It's wrong because... what if something happens? What if shit goes wrong and then you get angry or hurt and your father fires me? What if people start shit and think I’m sleeping with you or something to get a promotion?” He said. “There’s nothing wrong with you. It just... fuck, this is hard. Maybe later. But for the time being... we can’t do this. I have to figure things out on my own and get it together. Think hard about it because it isn’t just a fling for me. This is my life, my reputation, and my career on the line.” He whispered, standing up. He was gentle when he put her on the ground.

Y/N let out a sigh, did he not realize that she had just as much power as her father? She was just about to make a point but he made it clear that his career was more important than whatever they had. She could understand that, but she didn’t agree. She would have him, especially now that she knew he liked her in the same way. 

“What if later is too late? What if I told you being with me can insure you have a job for life? It’s not just a fling for me either. It’s my life too, you know?” Y/N spoke quietly, “wish you’d have a little faith in me.” She said, clearly frustrated with the situation. Y/N decided she’d give him his space, looking at the time and shaking her head. “I better get going.” She spoke after clearing her throat, collecting her things as if nothing had happened and walked towards the door. “I’ll see you tomorrow. Have a good night, Harry.” Y/N gave him a sweet smile and closed the door behind her on the way out. 

Another long and lonely night.

----

Harry wasn’t sure if the kiss was a mistake or not. He wasn’t one to believe in regret, he did something and he had to face the consequences— however this? This was a whole lot. If he had thought Y/N had been much before, it was nothing compared to now. She came in and blatantly flirted with him, leaning over his desk in her sexy as fuck tops or dresses and gave him views he had been thirsting after, knowing he couldn’t. That he needed this job and she was tempting him at every turn. Not only that, but she would bring him coffee every morning and had figured out what scone he liked, coming to sit on his desk and flirting until Harry basically demanded she relax and go help her father. 

Why would she stop? She wasn't alone in her want and she knew that now. It was his fault, because he had shown his hand and Y/N knew every small rejection wasn’t genuine. It was to save his job, but internally, he wanted to give in. Still, she would straighten his jacket or come behind him and fix his tie, talking into his ear. Enough to make him distracted half the day. When he was called into the big bosses office, and saw Y/N? He was fucking terrified. However, he was smiling wide and telling Harry to sit— so he did.

“As you know we’re looking to expand our branches across major cities in Europe. I just got off a call with Jean Pierre, he needs me in paris this weekend, but I’ve already booked mandatory meetings with the builders down in Philadelphia.” Her father explained, looking down at his paperwork and then up at Harry. “I need you to go and meet with him and handle business. You’re already briefed on everything you need to know, just need you over there.” He smiled, of course leaving out the most important part. “I’m having Y/N accompany you, seeing as there are a few events you’ll be attending. She’ll show you the ropes, show you around Paris as well, won’t you sweetheart?” Y/N smiled brightly, nodding her head. 

“It’ll be amazing, promise I’ll show you a good time.” She cooed, watching his reaction carefully because of course he’d think she planned this. 

“All expenses will be covered and you will be paid. This is a huge favor I’m asking of you, I know. Have your suit sizes and passport information sent to me.” Her father requested, knowing that Y/N would want to dress him up for the occasion.

Well fuck.

He was going to be alone with Y/N, in the fucking city of love, and he couldn’t say no. Not that he necessarily wanted to— but it was putting him in such a temptation spot that it made him nervous. The business, he could handle. That wasn’t what made him worried. It was Y/N and her ability to wear him down and be relentless even after he tries to show no reaction whatsoever. She just knew how he was feeling. And she had been sweeter than pie to him, working slowly on bringing him to the spot she wanted. He knew that. 

“Oh— of course. How long is this trip for?” He asked curiously, side eyeing Y/N for a moment. He was praying for a short one but by the look on her face, it was definitely a week or more.

“Well, you’d be leaving Friday and arriving Saturday, your first meeting is on Monday and your last event is Friday night so... let’s say a week including travel?” He explained, already booking a hotel for the two of them at Y/N’s favorite place to stay. “Do you need to make any arrangements?” He raised his brow at him. 

“He’ll need to make some for Oliver.” Y/N pointed out, her father looked at her with furrowed brows. “He has a kitty, daddy.” Y/N cooed with a smile, “I’m sure his girlfriend can take care of him.” She said with a small smirk, knowing full well the game that she was playing. He had yet to break up with her and she was hoping he’d do it soon so it wasn’t on his cautiousness. Y/N was already packing in her head, knowing exactly what she wanted to bring and needed to bring. 

“I’ve forwarded the itinerary to Y/N, she’ll act as your assistant for the weekend, utilize her in any way you will.” Her father explained and Y/N smirked at that. She sure hoped he did.

[part 2]

A/N: a bit of a cliffhanger there, but oof.. tell us what you think! - n + d

masterlist

[officiallyaunicorn]

About a month ago I had a very brief relationship with a man that was 31 while I’m 18. I had barely turned 18 and at the time I was going through so much internal turmoil that I was insecure. Before I met him, I was a virgin who had never even had a relationship with a man nor even been on a date. I felt like I was the only one in my friend group who was missing out on dating and I was so ashamed of myself, my body, how I looked.

I don’t know if he could sense this, maybe he saw how vulnerable I was and took the opportunity... at first when I started talking to him he was a sweet guy. He complimented me every time he saw me, he did me favors without asking for anything. Then I started seeing red flags when we were only friends. He was getting jealous over me hanging out with girl friends because I’m bi, he would get upset when I didn’t text him on time, and he was jealous over me “looking too good” when he wasn’t around. When we had barely met I had to go on a trip to my old hometown to take care of some stuff. I remember we FaceTimed and I have always been the kind of girl to dress well whenever I was out in public. He saw that I looked nice and instead of saying something sweet like I looked pretty. He said, “Why are you so dressed up, why do you look so nice? There must be someone over their you’re trying to impress.” When I had came back from the trip I was no longer talking to him, he freaked me out over how jealous and controlling he was when we were only just getting to know each other. When we were only friends and I guess that’s how his obsession to get me began. I wasn’t the kind of girl who swooned over him, I wasn’t the kind of girl who looked for him or even cared if he texted me. If I didn’t want to text him I wouldn’t, if he said something I didn’t like I would correct him or I would stop talking to him and I’d either walk away or just not respond. He wasn’t used to a girl like me; most of his life he was used to getting what he wanted, when he wanted it by any girl. But I wasn’t raised to roll over and he told me that’s what attractived him. The fact that I wasn’t scared to stand up for myself and in his mind he saw as “hard to get”.

If I’m being honest I don’t remember how we started talking again, but I know it has something to do with how lonely I was feeling (now, just because I was lonely doesn’t mean I looked for him. In fact it was quite the opposite, I would leave him on read for days at a time and it wasn’t until one night I really needed to get out of the house that I finally responded). So I ignored the red flags and I let him take me out on a friend date to roller skating. Now let me explain something, I’d never been roller skating before and I had no idea how to skate. When we went there he paid which I didn’t expect him to and I had my wallet ready, but he insisted. Despite him knowing I couldn’t skate he left me most of the times, so eventually I just gave up and went to play on the arcade games. We barely talked and if I’m honest I hated talking to him, because I felt like every time his big mouth opened it was something offensive and sexist. That night we kissed in his car on the way to dropping me off and that’s how the relationship began.

As the relationship continued, he got more aggressive. He told me at one point in the relationship that I looked good but I could look better. He told me at one point (some context, at the time I was working 6 days a week, 12 hour shifts and I had I very large basket of laundry. I was a mess because I never had time to take to do anything. I was waking up early and getting home late) that because I was a girl that I had to be extremely clean. He specifically said that BECAUSE I was a girl, not because it was for my well-being. Instead of offering to help he lectured me on, and he told me something that’ll always be imbedded in my head, “So you’re telling me, a man, is cleaner than you, a woman? I work too (he basically worked on his own hours driving Uber/Lyft while I worked a job that I had to be there a specific time and take breaks at an exact time) but I still make time to clean.” He had told me at one point that if I wanted to see him that I had to work my schedule around his. Because he was sooo important. He told me so much stuff that now I see it and I feel foolish because I let him take me down and make me feel bad about myself. When now I see how amazing I am, how much better I am without him.

I let him take a lot of things from me that I’ll never be able to get back: my dignity, my self respect, my first date, the feeling of having a first love, and most importantly my virginity. I’m the kind of girl who values her virginity, I’ve had stuff happen to me when I was younger that when I got older and learned how my body was my temple I told myself that I’d wait until the very last second, if I had, just to make sure that when I did lose it it’d be special with someone I cared about. He had pressured me every time and every time we saw each other I felt like he was overstepping my boundaries a little at a time. From the beginning I made it clear how I didn’t want to be sexual, I was looking for an innocent relationship. But he started with kissing, then his hands started to wander, then the next time I saw him it was him convincing me that we’d only do over the clothes stuff, then it turned into “just take off your shirt”, “we’ll take off your pants I swear I won’t do anything”, then the next time it was “just touch it”... until finally as many times as I’d told him and told him I didn’t want to. As many times as I’d push his hands off, I gave in and he took it. He wore me down first with his words, then his actions, and then his constant bothering of “come on, why are you so immature when it comes to sex.” “What are you a little girl still that you can’t be a woman and just have sex?” “I’ll only stick it in a little.” When a man tells you these things, when a man keeps forcing you to do stuff you’ve told him no to a million times, when a man begins to make you feel less than a woman because of your looks or your morals/ values... Get. Out. Of. There. Run as fast as you can, because he isn’t worth it. No man how the power to make you feel like shit over yourself and if he doesn’t understand that no means no; leave as soon as you can and never look back. Don’t give him the benefit of the doubt and don’t fall for his words that it’s your fault. If you’re not ready or you don’t want to do it with him, that is your right. He doesn’t have any dictation to decide for you how, when, or with who you’ll do sexual acts with. He doesn’t get the right to decide your worth nor your values because the truth is you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t. If you decide to not do that sexual act with him then you’re a prude (like I was) but if you decide to do it with him then you’re a whore.

This past month all I’ve thought about is that night and how dirty I feel for it. I feel like I sold out my values and I feel gross. Because I’ll never be able to get back the memory of my first time. I broke up with him after that night and he was so crazy that he would find different numbers to text me from after I blocked him. He would send me texts about how sorry he felt. He would trick me into texting him and he’d say that he was sorry but then twist things around on me and tell me I was a bad person. He would tell me I was bipolar and call me names. Then when I blocked him from whatever number he texted; the next day he would text me on a different number. He recorded himself singing me a song that he wrote himself and in one song he was able to say that he loved me and how good of a woman I was, that he would never find another like me and then later in the same song he said bad things about me. He sent me a picture of a letter he wrote saying his “feelings” but really it was a letter of self pity and telling me I was a bad person for leaving him. I wish I’d listened to my intuition when I noticed the red flags, but at the time I was so lonely and I had no one to talk to that I fell for whatever came my way. Sadly that was him, but I’ve also learned from this experience the value of who I am. I had the strength to cut him off as soon as he ran over my boundaries, I had the strength to not fall back into his words and get back into a relationship. I have a lot more respect for my person and I’ll never ever let someone treat me or do that to me again. But I’ve also learned the value of forgiving myself because I can’t keep beating myself up over the things I let him take from me. If I keep beating myself up then I’d might as well stay with him because he’ll continue to dictate my life with shame and regrets.

The Butterfly Effect -Decisions, Decisions, Decisions (23/26)

Sanders Sides: Roman, Logan Inspiration: from @writing-prompt-s  “My domain is time,” said the Genie. “Instead of three wishes, you get three decisions. Go back and choose again.” Blurb: Roman has three chances to change his life for the better. Three chances to fix past mistakes. Three chances to totally screw it all up. But who said life is worth living unless one takes a little risk? Fic Type: Hurt/Comfort Overall Fic Warnings: Major Character Death (mentioned), Suicide (mentioned), Suicide Attempt, Partial Paralysis, Injuries, Blood, Punching/Fighting, Knives, Medicinal Misuse, Toxic Roommates (implied/mentioned), Acrophobia (fear of heights), Falling, Nausea, Bullying (implied/mentioned), Car Accident (mentioned), Prison (mentioned), Negative Self Talk, Panic Attack, Bomb (mention), Surgery (mentioned)

To Catch Up: Chapter 1  Chapter 2  Chapter 3  Chapter 4  Chapter 5  Chapter 6  Chapter 7  Chapter 8  Chapter 9  Chapter 10  Chapter 11  Chapter 12  Chapter 13  Chapter 14  Chapter 15  Chapter 16  Chapter 17  Chapter 18  Chapter 19  Chapter 20  Chapter 21  Chapter 22

Roman had never wanted an office job. Stuck in an windowless cubicle. Sitting at a desk. Staring at a computer screen. He could feel his creative brain cells shriveling at the mere thought.  

He quietly exhaled, tugging at the red kerchief he’d tied around his neck to hide the scar, taking the opportunity to feel the metal of the crown necklace hidden underneath.

It was probably morbid in a way, to wear the thing that took away his voice. But at the same time--

Happy Thoughts.

Roman couldn’t imagine not wearing it. He’d always worn it whenever possible before. He wasn’t going to let a little accident stop him from doing so now.

Adjusting the sleeves of his white dress shirt, pushing them up past his elbows, Roman took a breath, brushing the pocket watch hidden under his shirt as he looked up at the skyscraper emblazoned with the S.P.E.C.S. Logo.

Thankfully, he wasn’t completely clueless to what he was getting into. The memories of the last...well the last six months, since he’d been in a coma for the other half of the year...had drifted into his mind with the grace of a sledgehammer as he’d stayed up too late trying to find out what had happened to Virgil.

They told him about his struggles with physical therapy, about learning sign language to communicate, and more recently how he, Patton, and Logan had been working to create a more ‘vocal’ language of clicks, whistles and pops that Roman could make with his tongue and lips to communicate.

He knew Patton had transferred his residency to the City so he could be closer to Roman and that his best friend was constantly calling and dropping by to ensure he was doing okay and following his strict recovery program to the letter. Occasionally, Pat would even bring him new creams to try to help the scars on his body fade.

Roman grimaced, lifting a hand to feel the new half moon scar by his left eye. So many scars.

The memories had told him hundreds of things last night.

Except what happened to Virgil. 

He hadn’t seen scriptwriter since the bridge. Since his bungled rescue attempt.

The guy was practically a ghost. Hours of scouring the internet had yielded him a Facebook page that hadn’t been updated in years, a myspace account similarly void of recent activity, and a handful of articles about the accident on the bridge. Virgil had survived that, having been taken to the same hospital that Roman had spent six months lying in a coma in. But after that? Nothing. No word on how his own recovery went. No word on where he’d disappeared to.

No word on if he was still alive.

Would Thomas know the answer?

Would he even allow Roman to ask him?

“You know, for just ‘coming to check out the place’...I didn’t expect you to appear so nervous, Ro.” Logan called to him, stepping out of the building, two styrofoam cups in hand.

Dressed in a black shirt and blue tie, he looked just like any other worker coming in and out of the building. No one would suspect the Nerd in glasses was actually the CEO of the place.

Roman huffed, blowing his hair out of his eyes. ~I’m not nervous.~ He signed, lifting his chin. ~I was admiring the building.~  

Logan quirked an eyebrow. “Sure you were.” He said, handing him one of the cups. “I’ve conducted enough interviews to know a nervous person when I see one, Roman. You’re nervous.”

Roman clicked his tongue in irritation, feeling the cold sides of the drink. =Shut up.=

Logan sighed. “I’m not expecting you to say yes, Ro. It’s a job offer. That’s all. If you don’t think it will work out here, you can leave.”

He knew that. But that didn’t bring any comfort. It was an office job. Pure and simple.

“In any case.” Logan tilted his head to the cup. “It’s frozen hot chocolate. To satisfy your new sweet tooth and keep steam from coming out of Dr. Patton’s ears if he thought I was offering you something hot.”

Right. ~We can’t have that.~ Angry Patton was not a sight he wanted to deal with today, especially when it came to drinks. He wasn’t allowed hot things because his throat was still healing. Wasn’t allowed hard things for fear of tearing the lining. Gah. What he wouldn’t give to chow down on a bag of Ranch Doritos right now. He’d been limited to soft and cold foods for far too long because the doctors were worried about his throat tearing from too hot of a drink, or too sharp of a chip.

Roman lifted the cup to his lips, taking a sip and popped his lips in surprise. =How?= It tasted just like Hot Chocolate! How--what wizardry was this?

Logan shrugged. “I don’t know, but I had hoped it would satisfy.” He said adjusting his glasses, giving Roman a small smile.

Roman took another sip, before grinning, saluting Logan like Remy would have. =Perfect.= he clicked.

He hadn’t met Remy in this timeline. The coma had kinda made that impossible.

“Good.” Logan smiled, gesturing to the skyscraper. “So? Ready for the tour?”

No. But he’d said he’d come look. Roman nodded. ~Lead the way, Boss.~ He said, following after Specs as he led them inside to---

A jungle.

It was like walking into a freaking jungle.

He stopped dead, mouth dropping open, staring at the various flowers, vines, bushes and even large trees growing in the wide open room, the large windows outside hadn’t indicated floors...no the ‘first’ floor extended at least six stories up, wide open, like its own mini biosphere.

Logan chuckled. “I told you it wasn’t your typical office, Roman. We are trying to save the planet after all.”

Roman blinked, hands stuttering in their movements. ~Yes, but---Flowers? Trees? Insi--How?~

He’d expected desks, ringing phones, possibly labs every now and then with scientists in their oversized goggles doing experiments. But having an actual mini rainforest inside a building? ~YOU! I thought l.a.b.s.~ He fingerspelled. ~e.x.p.e.r.i.m.e.n.t.s Mad Scientist. Not World in a building!~

“And that’s why I offered you a place here, Ro.” Logan said, his eyes sparkling as he pulled Roman deeper into the building, walking along the clearly marked paths, while people strolled by, some in dress shirts and pants, others wearing lab coats or in overalls and covered in dirt. “It’s not your typical sit down job. I think, if you give this place a chance, you could find something to suit you here.”

He’d expected to walk in and walk back out an hour later, washing his hands of the whole office gig once and for all, content that he’d satisfied Logan’s pleas to try it out.

But no. Each room Specs lead him to on the tour held a new surprise, a new adventure. No two floors were exactly the same, devoted to different areas of research and experimentation. It wasn’t just energy conservation or restoring the planet. 

Logan was still devoting six floors to medicinal studies, potential cures, and new medical procedures that were less invasive with better equipment to help Patton out in this timeline. 

He had created another two floors for testing new environmentally safe building materials, some artificially created, others using organic sources. 

Logan even had an entire floor devoted underwater exploration, acting more like a command center for a virtual army of underwater robots and mini submarines.

It was all...more captivating than Roman wanted to admit.

He couldn’t see how he could contribute to it though. His major had been in theatre. He chewed his bottom lip in thought, following Logan back outside hours later. The day having passed by in a blur.

Maybe he could help out with the building materials? He had helped build sets for plays back in the day. Taken a couple carpentry and metalworking classes. If he brushed off those rusty skills…maybe...maybe...he could….

“It’s a lot to take in, I know.” Logan said, interrupting his inner musings as he flagged down a taxi for Roman to take home.

Roman nodded, silently grateful that he wouldn’t have to take the bus back. The day he received the all clear to rid his motorcycle couldn’t come soon enough. ~Understatement.~

“Just...think on it okay? Working here. For me.” Logan rubbed the back of his neck. “For as long as you need, Ro.”

Funny. He’d said almost the same thing to Logan when he’d been a ex-convict huddled on a street corner. He’d given him a chance. A job. Roman nodded, clapping Logan on the shoulder. ~I’ll let you know.~ He promised, giving Specs his most winning smile as he slipped into the back of the cab. ~Soon.~

Roman gave a jaunty wave through the glass, his smile fading into a thoughtful frown as the taxi took off, dropping him off at his small apartment twenty minutes later for another PB&Crofters dinner.

He exhaled, mind whirling as he stepped out onto the balcony, careful to not look over the edge.

Falling.

He shook his head, resolutely looking out to the river a stone’s throw away.

It wasn’t just this potential job he had to think about.

Roman brushed the broken crown hidden under the kerchief, before grabbing the chain around his neck, fishing the golden pocket watch from out of his shirt. He held it the palm of his hand, tracing the design with his thumb.

It was the Warp.

It had been weighing in the back of his mind the entire day.

His final choice.

Roman could choose to keep this life. Live as a mute. Unknown. Unable to have the acting career he’d always dreamed of. Working instead for Logan’s Environmentally Willy-Wonka-esque company for the foreseeable future.

Or he could choose to reject his three choices. Return to his fame and fortune. Return to being a big star on Broadway, return to his trip to London for filming his first major role in a movie. Return to being able to speak, laugh, and sing again.

Roman narrowed his eyes as he slipped the chain from around his neck.

Return to a life with a homebody Patton -blind and in a wheelchair, temperamental Logan -an ex-con with a large LOGIC tattoo on his forehead barely getting his life back together. And Virgil….Virgil dead from suicide before his film script became famous.

He shook his head, lifting his eyes to the river, watching yachts idly moving up and down it. His hand tightened on the watch.

Or keep this life.

With Patton on his way to becoming a successful Pediatric Surgeon, helping children recover from their illnesses.

With Logan and his company improving the world with each new invention, each new discovery.

With Virgil….hopefully still alive, hopefully on the path to his own fame and fortune.

His lips twitched.

It wasn’t much of a choice really.

In one smooth movement, Roman pulled his arm back.

So long old life.

He thrust his arm forward--only for a rainbow hand to grab his wrist, stopping him from throwing the watch into the river.

Happy Halloween And HAPPY every other holiday that comes after it my Tumblr survivors <3

Its been a long year and this one isnt even finished yet i believe the last time we spoke i was still a 2.0 student and had hopes for my future well a lot has change since that thats for sure… I turned 21 and had a small party that most of my friends didnt show to there was a piñata in the shape of a tequila bottle that I didn’t get to break because i was to busy eating jello shots and drinking double shots.. long story short i didnt get drunk and i didnt get a hangover which i am thankful for i did gain closeness with a guy friend who showed out of nowhere the next day and asked if i wanted to date him and when i said he had to at least try first he said he wouldnt even know how to so that was a dead end that 3 months later then argued with me on Dms over how gross beer is.. later asked to go out and walk at the park which i said yes to because i was feeling like i was trapped at my own house. All while i was having a life crisis over how alone i was and how i needed friends AND how terrible i was doing in school. Anyways… he told me his life story and i told him mine thinking we bonded he then asked permission to kiss me and to hold my hand and i let him and that was the moment everything went down hill. He asked if I’d take his virginity which I hesitated to but eventually agreed to do it… i was many of his firsts but i did not go through with the plan he had… as we talked we got closer and well i thought there was a connection, which he then ruined with jealousy and the art of trying to make my traumas of the last les valid than his and this was a red flag. His coworker at the tome happened to be a friend of mine from when i was a little girl still innocent to the world when i was 12, i asked for his info because how small could the world ever get and he got upset we argued all night and he then said “i hope you two are happy together” and he blocked me. Being the petty girly i am i blocked him back on all the socials he had and that ended things for us or so i thought but the universe had other plans for us. My friend will call him “J” said he had just gotten married and i was so happy for him it feels like everyone has life figured out but me. He would ask everyday about the boy who tried so much to make me feel so little defended him but that was all there was to it he was a married man and i would never. 1 month passed and i was not over it because my biggest flaw is getting to attached to people that deserve less of me. 3 months passed and i thought less of him only sometimes he would come up in my thoughts or only when “J” would bring him up but i was more stressed about finals coming up. 6 months went by and i had completely moved on and blocked him from my hear, “J” stopped talking about him after that one chat of the boy that lived in my mimd was trying to go out with another girl which he respected because he took her out on dinners or to dates like the movies but she called them “hang outs” and he had a double thought in his mind for them but she did not. Maybe i’m an easy girl or maybe i wasnt enough but still the universe put him back on my path. After failing my 2021 fall finals i must’ve cried at how sad my life was… i had no job, a 1.67 gpa, i was on probation and no guy would even look at me.as spring started my best friend got a girlfriend and he stop speaking to me with the excuse that he had to take a break from his phone and social media which i will always believe it was code for “i cant talk to you anymore youre getting clingy go away” he built us a life together and i still cant believe he left that day i think he was the only person i thought wouldnt abandon me but in the end he was fixed and he got up and left. Like he always did. i mad friends in my spring semester which I absolutely love. There is also many pictures of me at many events around campus because even stressing i decided to give no fucks and just live for a moment for my own university experience.

I missed all of this… Happy Sunday :)

20 Questions with Dr Ferox #15

Here’s 20 more questions and comments you Vetlings have sent me. It’s a bit of a mixed bag this time, including topics about harness trained cats and getting work in a vet clinic. I’ve tried to tag everyone who identified themselves when asking questions, but if you were on Anon you’ll have to look through yourself for an answer.

Anonymous said: What is black ice? You mentioned it when talking about cold days in Australia. Tax - my headcannon about you is that you used to have many pets as a child.

Black ice is actually transparent ice which has frozen over a road, looking black. It's when it's cold enough to snow, but without anything fun. It often occurs at night and results in many accidents because it looks like a normal road, but is of course very slippery.

@rokkrwolf​ said: Could the feline parvovirus also have potentially mutated into the human parvovirus? Because until a few years ago I never knew humans could get parvo until my mom got it and it showed up around the same time canine parvovirus did.

Human parvovirus was first identified in 1975, but was probably around a lot longer we just didn't have great technology for identifying viruses back then, and it may not have been a high priority because my understanding is that it mostly causes a cheek rash. (Compare this to intestinal wall sloughing and bone marrow suppression of the small carnivore parvoviruses). Also I think there was only one gene difference between canine and feline viruses, which makes them highly likely to be recently related.

@ surskitty said:How often do you see harness-trained kitties? How do you feel about leash-training cats?

Not very often. I suspect they're less common here than overseas because we are, as a nation, a bit slack about our cat care. They're more common among millennial pet owners with their first cats out of home

Anonymous said: Do you see a problem with indoor-outdoor cats? Couple times a week I will bring my 7month old cat out on a harness to bask and watch the bugs/birds. Is this a bad thing?? Should I stop this behavior? Thank you!!

Gosh no, that's a great thing to do. The cat might be outside, but it's not free roaming and it's completely supervised. It's good enrichment and bonding without the risks associated with the outdoors. Just try to discourage your cat from actually eating any bugs, and make sure their vaccines are up to date. If your cat enjoys the experience, I highly recommend it.

@lornacus​ said: My cat is in an abusive relationship with a neighborhood problem cat./We are thinking of capturing the problem cat, and taking it somewhere so we can see if it has a chip. Then contacting the owners in an attempt to get them to keep their cat inside, to at least open that line of communication. Our cat goes outside because we have a dog+dog door. What is your impression of this situation?

Check with your local laws, but it's usually ok to catch a cat on your own private property before presenting it to a vet clinic. It's both pet owners responsibility to keep their cat confined to their property, if your cat is leaving your yard then both owners are to blame for the situation.

If the cat does have a chip, a clinic can't just give you the owner's details. It's a privacy issue. They can hand your details over to the cat owner if you request, but there's no obligation for them to contact you. Trapping their cat may also cause significant animosity.

I would consider locking the dog door or securing your yard also.

Anonymous said: Hi there! I read in your FAQ about giving general advice about getting into Veterinary medicine in Aus. I am applying at the end of this year to a few universities, a couple of which require an application essay of sorts. I was wondering if you would have any advice on what to include? I'm sure they see countless "I've loved animals my whole life... etc etc", have you got any hot tips on what might help me stand out a little more? Love the blog, it keeps me motivated to keep my GPA up to get in.

Avoid phrases that make it sound like you want to be a vet because “Owo animals so cute” and focus on the medicine or science side as well. Try to sound professional, because you are trying to enter a profession, and target your essay for the university you're applying to. For example, if you're applying to a tropical school, mention something about why tropical medicine is of interest to you. Do this even if you're applying to every university on the continent, explain why you're extra keen for admission to that particular one.

Anonymous said: Hi. I'm a vet student and I want to help my local vet for a few weeks this summer. I wonder how should I ask? Should it be 'I want to help you a little and observe you during work'? Should I tell them why I choose their small animal practice? Is answer 'no' common? Also I'm extremely anxious that they would find out that I don't remember everything from i.e anatomy or other basics courses or that I can't handle animals properly.

We usually use the term 'work experience' and specify that it's for a vet student, not a highschool student. Not every clinic will accept students if they don't have the caseload, or if they're training up a student nurse or a new grad vet, so don't take rejection personally. Explain that it's for part of your course, and be prepared for a friendly chat. It's advisable to get to the point quickly, starting by asking if they take vet students for work experience at all before launching into too many questions.

Don't worry about not remembering everything. You're a student, you by definition don't know everything yet and I'm yet to find a vet who remembers everything about everything. But when you find something you don't know, show you are actively trying to learn it. Write it down, make sure you know the answer the next time they ask.

Anonymous said: Hey dr Ferox! You recently made a post about how important the choice of your first job is. Do you have any tips for a soon-to-be-recent-graduate on how to find the rigĥt place? What to look out for and what to avoid?

New grad interview tips

New grad job tips

Red flags for abusive workplaces

If you have a good rapport with the other vets on staff, if you could see yourself becoming like them over time and you like that idea, then it's probably a good choice. But by the same token, don't be afraid to switch jobs in your first year if it's not working out, about a third of new grads do.

Anonymous said: How often would you recommend taking an otherwise healthy rabbit to the vet? I've had my rabbits for 2 years now, and they've only really been to the vet for their spay/neutering, and whenever they've presented any signs of illness (so only like once for each them)

I usually recommend at least every 6 or 12 months, depending on your local clinic's vaccine schedule. Myxomatosis (which Australia unfortunately is not permitted a vaccine for) and Calicivirus are both 99+% lethal in unvaccinated rabbits and can be spread by insects.

Anonymous said: If you cannot answer this i understand but my poor lab has cherry eye. She's 6 months. I want the surgery that keeps the tear duct in tact, but if they have to remove it, what are the chances of her getting dry eye and going blind? I'm actually really scared, i love her to pieces and i'll deal with it if it happens, but i'm scared.

In a labrador type dog, the chances of developing dry eye after removing one tear gland aren't that high over their lifetime, probably something like 30%.

But dry eye is manageable, even if the dog develops it if the surgeon wasn't able to preserve the tear gland, and I see no reason why they shouldn't be able to. There are multiple different medical treatments for dry eye which will preserve eye function, and at least one surgical one, so try not to worry too much at this early stage.

Anonymous said: q tax: i feel like you'd have to Russian Blue cat as a familiar! so my beagle has fatty lumps (negative for cancer thank god!), and he's prone to getting skin tags. my other beagle never had these issues but she was pure where he was not. is this a breed thing or just something some dogs are prone to?

It's an individual dog thing, though there are breed predispositions. Fatty lumps are fairly common across all dog breeds, but the more fat the dog is carrying, the more likely it is to develop a fatty lump.

Trash Bag is turning out to be a pretty good familiar. I'm personally not all that into purebred cats, not when there are so many moggies that need a loving home.

Anonymous said: My father-in-laws dog scoots it's butt to scratch. He says he's had her checked out and she's fine. Is her bum just itchy, is she cleaning herself or could she have something really wrong. I believe him that he had her checked. I'm a cat person so have no idea. Thanks Dr.

Her back half could be itchy, or her anus could be itchy, there could be something stuck there or it could be an allergic itch, she might have worms (making her anus itchy) or she might have full anal glands and be trying to express them (they are located just inside the anal sphincter). The anal glands are definitely worth getting checked because they can develop into an abscess, but if the dog's madly itchy it's worth getting checked again anyway.

@toastedtoast15​ said: My dog is sick with diarrhea and vomiting. Can he get me sick?

Potentially yes.

Anonymous said: Hi, I was wondering if you could clear something up for me. I was recently told by a friend that giving a puppy peanut butter too young can cause a peanut allergy. Is this true/have you ever heard anything like this? Question tax: came for lucifer the bun, stayed for the awesome info on animals. I really enjoy your breed analysis too. Thank you!

It's a theory that's common in raising little humans, but I don't see an evidence for this in dogs. Dog don't develop life threatening anaphylaxis to peanuts like humans commonly do. (They can develop it to insect stings and injected drugs though).

However it's still prudent to be careful with peanut butter, because dogs that have eaten it recently which lick a highly sensitive human may induce anaphylaxis in the human, and some brands are now using artificial sweeteners like xylitol which are toxic to dogs.

Probably not. Some cats just don't like it, some have a stronger reaction to it than others. It's not advisable for them to eat a whole lot of it as it can cause vomiting, but it's usually self limiting if the do. Smooching the leaves should be fine.

Anonymous said: What are the best dog breeds for beginner owners? If you don't want to recommend a specific breed, what are the best traits a dog should have if their owner is not very knowledgeable about them?

You're right in that I don't want to recommend a specific breed for beginner owners.

If you are new to owning dogs, then I generally recommend your first dog to be an adult acquired from a shelter. They're already mature, so you know what you're getting, and somebody else has started the training process for you. They're already desexed and should be temperament tested.

While many dogs do get surrendered for behavioral problems and phobias, there are also lots of perfectly good dogs (often smaller ones) which have just had their owner die and no family members able to take them on, so they end up in a shelter. These are excellent dogs for a beginner as it's harder to make mistakes with them, and you're doing a good thing.

@daedricprincessxoxo​ said: I just started working at the front desk of an animal hospital. A people nurse asked me if she could get whatever medicines she needs to perform surgery on her cat herself, because she'd rather that then to have a veterinarian do it. Nurses don't even do surgery! Even if they did, no!! On the bright side, there was a baby snake that was so tiny it looked like a worm. That was cute.

That is an unbelievably stupid thing for a human nurse to claim. I would not be surprised if she was not a human nurse at all and really just wanted to get her hands on some ketamine or propofol. I nurse should know that she can't perform surgery herself.

Anonymous said: Your Cupcakes story made me curious. I've been going to the same vet clinic for years now and the vets and other staff have always been wonderful​ both as people and as vets, but I know that their days are rough on several levels. Would it be a faux pas to bring in some baked goods next time I bring the pets in for a check up? Either way is there anything else I could do to briefly improve a vet's day while I'm in the clinic with a pet?

Bring the food. Don't ever be embarrassed about bringing food into the vet clinic, someone will eat it. It helps if you know if any staff have dietary restrictions (eg gluten free, nut free) but the gesture is always appreciated.

These can be subtle or more blatant. Keep these in the back of your mind to ensure you make the right choice when it comes to a second date. #1 They ask you too many questions. Having a first date with someone interested in you will result in questions. How else do you get to know someone new? But, if those questions spill out like they are interviewing you for a job rather than a back and forth conversation, that is not good.

Then, he talked for nearly an hour about which cars he loved and what he was going to spend his inheritance on. Not cool.

But if there is more silence than chatting, something is off. Even if you aren’t a perfect match you can usually get along and talk for an hour or so. When your mind just goes blank on a first date and neither of you is putting in the effort to try to get to know each other, it failed before it began. #4 They are on their phone. I know it is hard to part with our phones. If either you or your date can’t look away from a screen for an hour, that is not a good sign. If you feel the need to reach for your phone throughout the night, not because you’re a doctor on call, but because you are bored, it is a bad first date. And unless they have a child they are worried about, or are expecting a call from the Queen, neither of you should be giving your phones any attention. #5 You don’t like their jokes. Even on the best date, you may not laugh out loud at every joke. If your date’s sense of humor does not align with yours on night one, things will not change. It is one thing for her to be a little more sarcastic than you, but if your date tells offensive jokes or finds humor is something you take very seriously that is a sign of an impending bad date. #6 There are no manners. Once you have been dating for a while, manners can go out the window. You burp in front of each other and don’t say thank you when they hold the door. On a first date, you should both be on your best behavior. If your date lets the door close on you, is rude to the waiter, or wipes their nose on their sleeve, you will surely have a bad taste in your mouth. If someone’s manners aren’t on the up and up on the first date, just imagine how much worse it gets. [Read: 12 important dating rules all classy men and women follow] #7 One of you offends the other. Misunderstandings happen when you get to know someone. Someone may interpret something in a way it was not intended or someone misspoke due to nerves, but if your date says something that goes against your beliefs, religion, or race or anyone else’s, it was a bad date. Even if this person checks all of your boxes, this sort of thing should not be overlooked just because they have other great characteristics. #8 You want different things. It is unlikely that before a first date you spoke about your intentions. Are you looking for a relationship? Something casual? A hookup? Even if the date essentially went well, if you both want different things in the long run, even the best date will not change your minds. #9 You’re uncomfortable. We all get nerves on a first date. That is normal. But, there is a difference between nerves and actually being uncomfortable. Whether your date said something weird, implied something you didn’t like, or even just gives you an off vibe, bad date signal. Even if you cannot put your uneasiness into words, you have the right to say it was a bad date just because you felt weird. [Read: How to tell if there’s no chemistry and if you should stop trying] #10 Your mind is drifting. A good first date requires attention and focus. If you find yourself thinking about work, what you’re going to do when you get home, or really anything off topic, the date cannot be going that well. A bad date can simply mean you were not into it. #11 The ex is on the brain. Exes. This is such a taboo topic for first dates. And even the slightest mention of an ex can take a first date from good to showing signs of a bad first date. Mentioning that your last relationship was so many months ago and briefly sharing what you learned from it is totally fine. The point where talking about exes goes awry is when it becomes a complaining session, a therapy session, or the focus of the conversation. There is a time and place to share what happened in your last relationship. A first date is not that time or place. If you notice that your date’s ex keeps popping into the conversation, that is a sign of a bad first date. They are likely still hung up or feeling bitter. Either way, you do not want a part of that.

And even though he said he wanted another date, he ended things at three pm saying he needed to head to work. If the date was going well, he wouldn’t have cut it short.

15 Signs of a Bad First Date that Reveal a Total Lack of Chemistry

It can be hard to read between the lines and figure out the subtle signs of a bad first date, but it does not have to be if you read between the lines.

We overthink and overanalyze so much when it comes to a first date, but it is easier than you might think to see the signs of a bad first date.

First dates are always pretty hard to nail down. You may have had a good time, but did your date? Or maybe you were miserable and they can’t wait to see you again.

Why you need to know the signs of a bad first date

You might think that you would immediately know if a first date is bad or not. And when it is horrible, you probably will. But taking my experience into account, there are some signs of a bad first date we overlook at first. [Read: How to calm your first date jitters]

Being able to spot the signs of a bad first date right off the bat is important. You do not want to waste your time or theirs. You also don’t want to miss red flags that could cause serious problems down the line.

By knowing the signs of a bad first date you may think you are going into it with a negative mindset, you are simply being realistic. First dates will not always be good. They will not always be bad. So, it is important to be able to see the less obvious signs of a bad first date.

This does not mean you should go into every date looking for bad signs. All it means is that when those signs arise, you will know how to spot them. [Read: 18 things you have to avoid doing on a first date]

Is It Your First Time? Here Are Our Best Home Buying Tips

A house is likely to be the biggest purchase you ever make, which can make home buying equally terrifying and thrilling.

If you’re preparing to buy your first home, take a deep breath, pour yourself a glass of wine and read these tips for first-time home buyers. The home-buying process is complicated and infuriating at times, but you can figure it out if you follow some sensible guidelines.

Calculating Your Budget

Buying a new home is expensive — and not just because of the down payment. Remember the following when calculating your budget:

1. You may owe more than just a down payment at signing.

Depending on the contract you’ve worked out with the seller, you may also be responsible for closing costs. All together, mine totaled nearly $10,000.

And before you even get to signing, you will likely need to pay for a home inspection, which averages about $315, though it depends on the size of your home.

2. Don’t forget moving expenses.

Moving isn’t cheap, and I say that as someone who has had to move six times in the last decade. Consider the cost of movers (or a truck rental), new identification and vehicle registration, and the cost of breaking your lease if you are moving mid-lease from a rental.

If you’re counting on getting your security deposit back to help with your first mortgage payments, make sure follow these tips when you prepare to move out.

3. Monthly mortgage payments cover more than payments on your home.

Not only will a good chunk of your monthly payment be put toward interest (especially at first), but your monthly mortgage payment will also include:

Homeowner’s insurance costs,

Property taxes

PMI (private mortgage insurance). If you cannot afford to put 20% down on your home, you will likely be required to purchase PMI.

4. Plan for upkeep expenses.

When you rent, your landlord is responsible for replacing old appliances, installing new roofs and windows, and generally fixing anything that breaks. When you own your home and your water heater stops working, you’re on your own.

The general rule of thumb is to budget 1% to 2% of your home value each year for upkeep and maintenance.

Some years the number may be well below that, but in other years of home ownership, expect to pay significantly more, like when you need a new roof. That’s why it’s important to maintain your emergency savings.

5. Grow your emergency savings before buying.

Experts agree that you should save up six months’ of expenses for emergencies. (Easier said than done, I know.)

But still, when buying a house, don’t pour all of your savings into your down payment. Leave some savings for unexpected expenses, like a broken garage door or washing machine, as well as emergencies not related to your home, like job loss or hospitalization.

6. Determine what you’re comfortable spending each month.

Spend no more than three times your annual salary on a house, but use that as a guideline. By no means do you have to spend that much on a home.

If you have multiple jobs but don’t plan to keep them both long-term, only consider one income when budgeting. Likewise, if you or your partner plans to become a stay-at-home parent in the future, do not consider that income when determining your price range.

Saving for a Down Payment

When purchasing a house, you’ll almost always need a down payment. The size of the down payment will depend on the cost of the home and the type of loan you secure (more on that in a bit), but no matter what, it isn’t likely to be cheap.

Here are a few tips for saving for your down payment:

7. Reduce your expenses and increase your income.

If you’re not planning to buy a home immediately, reduce your monthly expenses now and put the savings into a high-interest online savings account.

For example, if you know you will begin your house hunt in roughly a year, downgrade to a cheaper apartment and put the rent savings away into your account.

We also have tips for cutting costs on groceries, car insurance and utilities, as well as advice on several side gigs you can get to earn some extra cash.

8. Shoot for 20% of the cost of the type of house you plan to buy.

Since you’ve already determined the maximum amount you would spend on a house, aim to set aside 20% of that price for your down payment. Doing so will earn you better rates and will keep you from having to pay PMI.

PMI is generally required on any home loans when the buyer puts down less than 20%. My PMI is more than $200 a month, and it is the most useless thing I have ever spent 200 bucks on — every month.

9. If you can’t hit 20%, put as much down as you comfortably can.

Remember, though: leave some money in your emergency savings.

10. Follow my rent rule.

While saving for my down payment, I invented a rent rule to help me save. I calculated what my monthly mortgage payment would likely be on my dream home, since I would need to grow comfortable with paying that each month. Then I subtracted what I was currently paying for rent each month.

I took the difference between the two and stashed that into savings (on top of my regular savings) every month to put toward my down payment. That move quickly grew my down payment savings by several thousand dollars.

Choosing a Real Estate Agent and Getting a Loan

When buying my home, I had the benefit of having a realtor I could trust — my partner’s mother. She obviously wanted to get the best deal for us. Not everyone has that luxury.

A good way to start the search for a real estate agent is to contact several major mortgage brokers and ask for their recommendations for agents. Call all of them and interview them.

Likewise, to find a lending institution, you can call up major real estate brokerages and ask them for mortgage lender recommendations. Now call all of them up and interview them. You’ll get an idea of who you like and the kinds of rates you can get.

11. Don’t go it alone.

As fun as it can be to visit open houses and browse coastal mansions you can never afford on Zillow (or is that just me?), a real estate agent will be able to help you find properties suited to your needs, negotiate for a better deal and understand your contract.

Agents have access to the multiple listing service (MLS) and can show you homes you might otherwise never find.

Plus, your real estate agent should drive you to all homes, which will save on fuel costs. That might sound cheap, but it’s a true Penny Hoarder consideration.

12. Choose a buyer’s agent.

A buyer’s agent is a real estate agent who exclusively helps buyers find homes. That means they do not ever list homes for sale.

Buyer’s agents have no hidden agenda of trying to show you a home that they or their brokerage have listed for sale.

Ask your real estate agent to confirm that he or she is a buyer’s agent before signing with them. If you are still unsure, you can peruse the contract for mention of a buyer’s agent agreement. If there is no such terminology, assume this is not a true buyer’s agent.

13. Ask potential real estate agents good questions.

Interview your agent as thoroughly as you would a babysitter for your kid. A good real estate agent will be happy to answer your questions.

Your questions should focus on their client satisfaction, their familiarity with the area you are researching and how they are paid. The best real estate agents just split the seller’s commission, meaning you don’t pay a cent.

14. Know the types of mortgage loans available to you.

Spend some time researching loan options online. Mortgage options include conventional loans, FHA loans (Federal Housing Administration), etc.

Each loan type has different requirements and qualifications. And if you’re a veteran, a rural borrower or a soon-to-be doctor graduating but plagued with student loan debt, your status could earn you a less common loan.

15. Don’t just go with the lender your real estate agent recommends.

Your agent may have an agreement with a lender, so it’s in their best interest to help each other make more money off you.

Instead, research loans with your own bank or credit union, and don’t forget the list of mortgage lenders you got during your initial research.

16. Compare mortgage rates.

Go with the lowest interest rate you can find. The difference between 4.00% and 4.25% might not sound like a lot, but on a $200,000 home over 30 years, it makes a huge difference.

On this $200,000 home, a 4.00% rate equates to $343,739 for the total cost of the mortgage. A 4.25% rate (just 0.25% higher) bumps the total cost to $354,197, for a difference of more than $10,000.

17. Don’t open new lines of credit.

Your credit score plays an important factor in securing a loan. It’s a red flag to lenders if you open a new line of credit, even if they’ve already committed to the loan and you’re a day away from signing.

18. Get pre-approved.

Before visiting your first home, ask your chosen lender for a pre-approval letter. This will let you know how much the lender is willing to lend you (but remember, you do not have to buy at the top of that limit) and will let potential sellers know how serious you are when you make an offer.

What to Look for in a Home

You can easily and cheaply change a lot about a home. If you’re not crazy about the walls, you can paint them. If the carpet is hideous, you might be able to rip it up and restore the original hardwood floors for under $1,000. (We did ours for just $700.)

However, there are certain things that can’t be changed or are much more expensive to resolve.

19. Check these things when touring a home.

Roof and windows: When was the roof last done? How about the windows? Are they good windows that will keep utility costs down?

Foundation: Are there foundation issues with the home that could necessitate expensive repairs?

Appliances: How soon will appliances need to be replaced?

20. Another thing to consider: location, location, location.

You will likely be living in the area for at least five or 10 years, if not the rest of your life. Make sure you are satisfied with the neighborhood, including access to work, groceries, restaurants and hospitals; the level of traffic; the crime rate; and the typical noise.

Visit the neighborhood at different times of the day and different days of the week, and pay attention to how many cars drive through, if there are loud dogs barking, etc.

It’s also a good idea to drive to and from your work during rush hour to see how unbearable the commute is.

21. Consider your wants and needs.

As you start shopping for a house, you should consider your wants and needs — and how they might change in just a few years. Some important things to think about include:

Is the house close to your job? Do you plan to work in the same area in a few years, or are you hoping to work somewhere else?

Are you planning to start a family? Will this house be big enough? Are there good schools in the area?

Do you plan to rescue dogs? Is the yard big enough? Is it fenced in?

Do you really want a pool? Can you afford the upkeep and higher insurance?

Getting an Inspection

You should always get a home inspection before buying a home. In some states, home inspections happen before you make the offer. In other states, they happen after offer acceptance, but the contract is contingent upon the inspection. If you’re not happy with the findings, you can still back out of the sale.

22. Don’t cut costs on inspections.

Your cousin may be a plumber, but that doesn’t mean she is qualified to do an actual home inspection. Hire someone who regularly does inspections and make sure they are thorough.

You can check resources like Angie’s List, HomeAdvisor and Yelp — and ask about their certifications.

23. Accompany the home inspector.

You are allowed to be at the inspection. You can direct the home inspector to focus on an area that has you worried, and you can ask questions as you go. Ask about signs of potential water damage, the age of appliances like the furnace and A/C and any other areas that might catch your attention.

A truly good inspector, however, should be thorough enough to answer any questions you have before you even ask.

24. Check the uncommon things.

Not every inspector tests for mold, radon, lead and pests. Ask before hiring, and only pay for an inspector who will check for these crucial red flags. Note: This will likely make your home inspection more expensive.

Making an Offer

If you found a reliable buyer’s agent, they will help you with the negotiating. However, what you offer for a house is ultimately up to you.

25. Negotiate like a pro.

Consider some of the following when making an offer on the house:

If the house has been on the market for a while or you think the seller is asking too much, offer less than what you are ultimately willing to pay. Beware: you risk losing the house if you lowball the seller and they do not negotiate.

Specify what repairs you want to be made in your offer, and see if the seller bites.

If you want to upgrade something expensive, like the kitchen cabinetry or the windows, ask the seller to fund it, and you can offer to pay that much more on the house. That way, your expenses to update the house aren’t out of pocket but are worked into your mortgage.

Everything is negotiable, even closing costs.

As a first-time home buyer, the entire process of buying a home can be intimidating. You’ll likely lose some sleep (and maybe some hairs if you pull too tightly), and at some point you’ll probably reconsider the whole idea and Google “how to live off the grid in a tent.”

But if you persist, ask good questions and rely on family and friends for support, you’ll get through it. And soon enough, you’ll have a place to call your own.

[topicprinter]

Hi guys,I am Phil, 26 from Germany. I studied computer science and have tried quite a few different business ideas. I want to begin sharing my story with all of its details with you.So today is the first day and I try to update every day. As a child I always wanted to invent new things and I build many many useless appliances in my grandpa's workshop. I started my first real business as soon as I left home at 20. I sold T-Shirts or rather: I had a shop for selling T-Shirts. I sold less than 10. It was then that I discovered that founding needs a lot of devotion.In university I had my very first real business deal and built a web application which controls an animal feeding machine. Countless hours went into this and I am very proud that my roommate and I finished this. It is in production in many farms today. We didn't get rich. The exact opposite is true: We received far to less money, but we were just stupid students and didn't know how much we could charge. It also was my first contact with depression. We would work our asses of sitting in the dorm each day until night and coding. It was a very good time which I appreciated so much. It was quality time with a good friend. However I quickly noticed one of the biggest pitfalls in entrepreneurship for me: The feeling of "when I don't work we won't get further". This lead to us living the very definition of "hustle porn". Working 10 hours a day was not seldom.Fast-forward a bit and I left my student job with 5k EUR I saved. This would last me 5-6 months. I was doing my own new and innovative chat application. You could chat with all people in close proximity. We were in an incubator. I had a quite functioning team and then I myself made the mistake of ditching it in favour of another idea. To this very day I am sorry for this. However I don't think any of us were truly ready to commit to a business back then. My new idea was a multi-tenant hotel application for holiday accommodations. Like the little leaflets which hold all of the information that you can find in your hotel room. I had the plan to do consulting and analytics for the hotels to optimize their offers. To this very day I love the idea. Now this time my team mate ditched me in favour of going to study abroad. Somehow mentally I was not able to handle this and I let go of the project.For a few years I only occasionally did projects. I asked myself if the hustle was worth it. I found (at least I thought) love and gave in to her pressure (red flag) to get a "normal job". I lost this job (senior project lead) for a new episode of depression in the beginning of this year. It was then that I met a good friend from university who I shared an office with back in the hotel app times. As it turned out I was very lucky.Today I am part of the company this man owns and I love working with them. I have my own shares. We incubate our own ideas and I have my own company again. I discovered that I love founding and creating with others. I love to be par of a team with its ups and downs. I read the sentence "live is about the people you meet and what you create with them" and I love that very thing. It is so fulfilling. I finished some jobs in record time and the team is so proud and I am so proud to be part of that team. These are lovely people. Somehow everything is going so well right now. I also started another project with other people (I will tell you about this in one of the next posts). I know its such a little thing but when I enter the office we hug each other instead of shaking hands. Things like that mean a lot to me. So much empathy. I am a very happy person right now. I still do "hustle porn" in a sense that I work close to 12 hours a day sometimes. However I can take breaks, go for a hike with my family or meet my friend whenever I want. The fear of not getting further was replaced by a feeling of wanting to get further and work for it. I don't suffer anymore, I enjoy. Don't get me wrong there are still days where I have a hard time working. Motivation is a bitch they say, discipline is what matters. I can accept this today and still be happy. In this regard I have become much more stoic.I am not sure if this is interesting for any of you, but it feels so good writing about it. I would appreciate your comments. How do you experience entrepreneurship? How did you start? What are the biggest obstacles that you very personally face?Love, Phil

Car insurance rate (red light ticket!)?

Sorry if this is too long, but i really need help! I just got a ticket for turning right on red w/o stopping in WA state. i googled and know that insurance companies don't often check driving record. unless when you make some change to your policy, make a claim or every 2 renewal cycles? my questions are: -How long does it take for my insurance company to notice this if i don't make any changes to my policy or make a claim within 3 yrs (this will stay on my record for 3 yrs right?)??? -Usually how long is ONE renewal cycle in car insurance? -If i tick the mitgation hearing option, and explain the infraction to the judge and he/she reduce my penalty, Does that mean the record will stay on me shorter? the penalty money will reduced? and hopeful insurance company will not increase my rate? -I am a student and I am cover under my dad's insurance, so if they increase my rate, does that mean the whole amount of premium increase or just my part?

Car insurance issue(s). Please share your experience and help if you can. Thanks?

My car caught on fire due to some electrical wiring, im fully comp, and have never claimed before. But sneaky as they are, they have told me that they do not cover electrical wiring faults, which has caused the fire. But the AA who towed my car in has catergorised it as fire damage. Surely they must cover the fire damage. I took it to a repair centre near me, and have asked them to have a quick check, and they also say its fire damage and what not, this has been procrastinated for so long by the insurance company, (claims company rather) that i can't remember what the repair centre has stated. Surely, fully comp covers something like this? THEIR engineers have said that there was no further damage to the rest of the car, but can i trust THEIR engineers? A full check up costs a lot, as they would have to take apart the car ( i believe? ) When i rang up the lady at the claims centre, she had no idea what case i was on, she literally said 'give me a moment to read up on your case' for me, thats a bit pathetic. While speaking on the phone with her not only was she rude, almost shouting at me (as i pressed on further ) . She told me she would send the company policy booklet to show that electrical wiring is not covered, and a letter stating the case was closed and in detail what the whole case is about. A week and a half has gone by (she said couple of days) This is the most annoying thing. She was rude, unhelpful, unwilling to help, and just taking the pee with the whole thing. I just find it sketchy that the letter has not been made, and no further actions or anything has happened (i have also opened another case about another incident - no info .. still) . I think they are just hoping i'd give this up as they are so unwilling to pay out. This is the reason I have insurance. Whats the point otherwise? Sorry for the long read. I have no idea what to do now, can i take it to a small claims court or talk to someone in the city council to further my case? Thanks""

How do I fight an insurance company over biased eyewitness testimony?

I was driving in a parking lot with wide lanes and perpendicular spaces when another driver backed out into my passenger side door. The other driver claimed that I was driving too fast and her insurance company is only willing to accept 75% liability for the accident, because of her statements and those of her friends. I don't have any witnesses of my own, but it seems rather unjust that they can base their decision on obviously biased witnesses. Neither the physical nor the circumstantial evidence supports their claims. I've written letters to the insurance company in response to their letter to me, but they haven't replied or made any effort to address my concerns. How do I fight them?

Why is car insurance so expensive in the UK?

However the insurance companies reject me almost immediately. Why is this the case in the UK? Why am I not allowed to drive a nice car albeit old just because I am young? I'm a keen car restorer and take the utmost care whilst driving, and living on a farm have driven most vehicles, so would not say I was inexperienced.

Shouldn't it be under other comprehensive income because the company doesn't really have control over it? I think it is under non-operating because it's REALIZED. Is that enough of a reason? Thanks.""

My Car Insurance Company Is Telling Us To Add My Two Sons Into My Policy.?

My sons had their license for a while now. Few months if I'm correct. They are 18 and one is 16 turning 17 in a month. Ever since they got their license, they haven't drove because they didn't have insurance. I refused when they asked because the cost was about $250 a month for each. We live in California and have State Farm. Recently, I've been getting mails and calls that I NEED to add them to my policy. I was wondering is it was really necessary because they never drive and they don't have access to my car. I only have two keys to my car and I keep it with me all the time and I'm a house mom. So the point is, they never drove the car and never will until they get insurance. So my question is, do I really have to add both of them to my policy? and if I do, do I have to pay? and if so, how much? Would it be the same as what I was told when I first asked about the cost of insurance? Which is $500 dollars a month for both.""

[ I Believe In ]169: Love at first sight:

Ehhh not really....attraction at first sight? Oh fuck yeah. Infatuation? Absolutely, but not love. Its two ways of knowing and understanding for each person involved, and a first meeting wont provide that.

168: Luck:

Randomness and chance is just not being far enough back to see all of the factors that come into play to influence an outcome. Those concepts only exist to explain something that cannot be currently understood.

167: Fate:

Not really. Choices and actions continuously influence the paths that everyone takes, and theres no such thing as not making a choice. Fate is all a matter of having the wisdom to discern which choices you want to make to reach a certain path. #deep

166: Yourself:

Fuck no that guys an asshole

In an infinite universe where we have no concept of its true size? I find it incredibly arrogant to assume that we live on the ONLY planet capable of hosting life out of something so infinite. #IWantToBelieve

Nah. I wont believe in anything until i can see it for myself.

163: Hell:

See above ^

162: God:

Im agnostic at best...if there is a “God” then they have a lot to answer for. Because they are either omnipotent or benevolent. I refuse to believe that a god can be both.

161: Horoscopes:

Its a nice little thought piece to pass the time, but i feel like human choices and actions shape personalities better than relative time of birth ever could

160: Soul mates:

Everyone is their own person with thoughts, feelings, responsibilities, and aspirations. Finding someone who is in every sense perfectly aligned with another in terms of “soul mates” is unlikely. Its all a spectrum of how well lifestyles can mesh.

159: Ghosts:

Nah fam.

158: Gay Marriage:

Spoiler Alert: Gay Marriage Is Just Marriage Between People Who Happen To Be Gay

157: War:

Its a reality, and as much as i hate it, due to human nature it is inevitable and almost necessary. War will never go away.

156: Orbs:

ＯＲＢＳ

155: Magic:

Its a term historically used to explain what cannot conventionally be explained. As soon as there is documentation and explanation, then it becomes a science and it can be studied.[ This or That ]

154: Hugs or Kisses:

I like me some huggin....

153: Drunk or High:

Both? Both....both is good. Gotta be careful with it though

Online mang

151: Red heads or Black haired:

I MEAN WHY CHOOSE??

150: Blondes or Brunettes:

I usually enjoy brunette more than blonde...

149: Hot or cold:

You can always put on more layers, but you can only take off so much before its a felony

148: Summer or winter:

Winter. Hot cocoa BITCHES~

147: Autumn or Spring:

Autumn season = Best season

146: Chocolate or vanilla:

I like me some vanilla

145: Night or Day:

Imma night owls ngl

144: Oranges or Apples:

Tough choice, but i love me some citrus

143: Curly or Straight hair:

yes

142: McDonalds or Burger King:

Wendy’s. Fight Me.

141: White Chocolate or Milk Chocolate:

White, but only in select quantities...

140: Mac or PC:

PC, but if more programs and games had support id choose linux

139: Flip flops or high heals:

Neither...im more of a work boot kind of guy...

138: Ugly and rich OR sweet and poor:

Jokes on you bud im ugly AND poor!

Ugly and rich tho. I can pay to fix my fucked up appearance, and youre damn right id use my money to fix up my town

137: Coke or Pepsi:

BEPIS BABEY YEAH

136: Hillary or Obama:

Remember when Obama reconciled with Japan for the dropping of nuclear ordinance on Hiroshima and also thanked them for anime? That was pretty damn cool of him.

I mean Hillary dabs though so i mean theres that

135: Burried or cremated:

Cremated. Not necessarily when i die. Just whenever. Surprise me.

134: Singing or Dancing:

Singing...i cant dance...

Cant do either, but at least i feel a bit better about my voice...

133: Coach or Chanel:

I dont understand the question....

132: Kat McPhee or Taylor Hicks:

Wasnt a huge Taylor fan....Kat by default

131: Small town or Big city:

Both are nice, but i think i like the idea of disappearing in a big city more than the peace of a small town.

130: Wal-Mart or Target:

Im Canadian, so Walmart it is

129: Ben Stiller or Adam Sandler:

Owen Wilson. Your move.

128: Manicure or Pedicure:

I dont remember which one is which, so whichever one does feet. My hands see frequent use, and it would not last.

127: East Coast or West Coast:

East Coast. Vancouver is the only thing the west has going for it in my eyes

126: Your Birthday or Christmas:

Birthday. I like having a day just all to myself. No one is gonna take that from me.

125: Chocolate or Flowers:

Ehhhh both are really temporary...wanna get me a gift that lasts? Make it a really cool looking sword

124: Disney or Six Flags:

DIDNEY WORL

123: Yankees or Red Sox:

[ Here’s What I Think About ]122: War:

Its unclean at best, its inevitable, and its almost certainly necessary.

121: George Bush:

By comparison right now his administration is looking pretty good

120: Gay Marriage:

Completely legal and totally socially acceptable. The fact that its an issue is baffling to say the least.

119: The presidential election:

You guys elected the annoying orange so you tell me

118: Abortion:

Her body, her choice, end of discussion. Die mad about it.

117: MySpace:

An artifact of an internet age gone by...

116: Reality TV:

If i wanted to watch peoples daily lives, there are vlogs out there that are a thousand times more genuine than anything ive seen on network television

115: Parents:

They should do their absolute best to raise their child to be better than them. The next generation should always be pushed to be able to leave the world better than the previous generation did. Thats how humanity evolves.

114: Back stabbers:

Pretty sure theres a circle in hell dedicated entirely to them according to The Divine Comedy

113: Ebay:

Never tried it, but it has its uses.

112: Facebook:

Not worth my time.

111: Work:

All just to fuel my long term expensive hobby of making swords.

110: My Neighbors:

For most of them, completely indifferent. Theres a lady upstairs who is really nice.

109: Gas Prices:

Now i dont drive anymore, but theyre ridiculous...

108: Designer Clothes:

Completely unnecessary, and feeding the bougie capitalist machine, but I NEED THEM. I WANNA LOOK GOOD.

107: College:

Its hell, and im stuck there...

106: Sports:

SPORTS

SPORTBALL

105: My family:

At the end of the day they should be the people that you can fall back to no matter what.

104: The future:

Tired and jaded as to what it can bring. I survived 2016 so anything that is yet to come might as well happen.[ Last time I ]103: Hugged someone:

Its been a couple weeks....for someone who very much enjoys physical affection im actually pretty shy and touch starved....

102: Last time you ate:

100: Cried in front of someone:

Oh fuck its been a while...came close last night, but not quite.

Oh prolly @vocoterra

88: Something I will really miss when I leave home is:

The comfort of being at home...i like going out, but nothing else feels like home

87: The last movie I saw:

Pass Thru by Neil Breen...i was stoned out of my gourd when i saw it, so i knew it was either gonna make perfect sense or none at all, but what i didnt expect was for it to do both at the same time

Thats the thing. I can hide things from everyone. Most of the time i dont because im bad at lying, but there are a lot of things i will take to my grave. Most of them dont even involve me directly.

77: Last time someone said something you were thinking:

Last night when the upstairs neighbor came down to talk. Its kind of odd how on-the-same-page we were about a lot of the things we talked about

76: Right now I am talking to:
