For once, it was an oddly slow Friday night. Normally Noah wouldn’t complain, but, fuck, he had rent to pay, and smiles and winks from his guests could only do so much. Add the fact that he was having his longest sexual dry spell since he’d even moved here, and Noah was antsy, borderline on anxious, for reasons he didn’t even want to admit.

A woman, older than him and stunning as the day was long, suddenly sat herself at the bar, and Noah drifted toward her before either of the other two bored bartenders could react. At least that way he’d get a fucking possible tip. Better than standing around with his thumb up his ass.

“Hey, beautiful, what can I get ya?” he asked brightly. Maybe he wasn’t bringing his A game, but, hell, he needed time to warm up to flirting money out of women anyway.

SECURITY BREACH!

2…What is the last thing you have written in your Notes app?

This was embarrassing, because Eleanor definitely had written a few acceptance speech or two in her Notes app. Although thankfully, when she opened the application, that wasn’t the first thing that appeared. “So listen, I make this list where I add potential relevant Halloween costume ideas whenever a new idea comes to mind. I know Halloween is months away, but you never know what popular meme you could dress up as, you know?”

14…Have you ever ghosted someone before? If so, who?

“Do I ever not ghost someone? That’s the real question.” The blonde grinned. “Listen, it’s not personal but my life gets hectic sometimes, and I’m simply just glued to Instagram more than anything. Sometimes I just so happened to miss some messages before it gets too long and awkward to reply, you know?” 

28…Who would you call in an emergency?

“An emergency…a work emergency? Then I’d call my team in L.A. in a heartbeat. They deal with all my shit in general anyway.” She answered, before wracking her brain as to who she would call in a personal emergency. “My siblings and I don’t talk often but especially now that I’m in Catalina for a while…I’d call Rory or Cooper. I don’t want to bother mom, you know? As for friends…I’d call Cleo, Nat, Lizzie or Lourdes. Or Arthur if I’m really in deep shit. They’re the most constant people in my life anyway.” @roryhirsch @cooperhirsch @cleohalliwell @nathaliaa-xo @elizcbethkennedy @lourdeshoward @arthurkanemoto

📱— imessage: cleo & reina.

Cleo [5.36pm]: I'm going to murder Evelyn.

Cleo [5.37pm]: Ever since she was approached to be on RHOCI, things in my closest started to go missing.

Cleo [5.38pm]: Seriously, if you see that BITCH waltzing around down Chanel Caviar Quilted Medallion Tote Black or Jimmy Choo Aveline 100 Sandals, please tell me where she's at because I will make the status of her nose EVEN worse

Cleo [5.40pm]: I changed the locks to my house 3 fucking times. She keeps on getting a key. I'm about to get a teaser and teach her who's the BITCH of this family.

8:

15: last text

Jackson: You can’t just scream at the bus boy and expect him not to burst into tears, Reina. Jackson: Even if you look hot doing it. 😏

26: ever dialed 911?

Yes. When he was young and newly adopted, and had heard that 911 was the number you call when someone is hurt. His father was in a bad mood...and his mother took the brunt of it. He quickly learned his mistake once his dad turned his anger to him. 

28: who would you call in an emergency.

Obviously Reina. But also Naomi and Miles. Most likely it depends on the situation for which one he would call.

DEAR YOU...

14…What is your secret to a long-lasting relationship?

“I’ve never been in one, but I suppose, given what I know from my Ma, it’s trust and support. And mutual interests that keep things spicy. And maybe even finding someone who you can love everyday, I guess.”

32…“Don’t leave me, not today.”

Daphne sighed when she saw the lengthy line at the mall of parents waiting to have their children’s picture taken on Santa’s lap. But she figured it was worth the wait. She wanted the memory of Danielle’s first Christmas in Catalina to be preserved. Joining the line, Daphne did a double take when she realized who was in line ahead of her. “Reina?” she said in surprise. “What are you doing in Catalina?” It had been more than 10 years since Daphne had seen Reina, who she only knew though her parents’ social circle. The woman looked a little older, of course, but she was definitely recognizable. What were the odds of the two of them both ending up in Catalina all these years later?

16��diamonds, chocolate, or flowers?

“Flowers. I know they die easily, but they’re simple and I think it’s the best way to tell someone that you’re thinking about them.”

LOVE IS IN THE AIR…

2…Do you believe in love at first sight?

Ava couldn’t help but scoff at the question. Love at first sight was perhaps something that only happened in fairytales, the brunette was a firm believer that such thing didn’t exist in real life. “Oh god, no. How can anyone fall in love with anyone just by the sight of them?” Even with the people she fell in love with, it took her a long time to come to the realisation that she was, in fact, in love with them. “I believe in lust at first sight.”

What’s your favorite love song?

Kendall takes quite a few beats to settle on the song she feels like giving that title to. “Far Too Young to Die, by Panic! at the Disco.” She couldn’t articulate why, but she always found herself coming back to that album, and particularly, that song.

WOULD YOU RATHER…

9 … only be able to whisper or shout?

Answered

14 … eat shit that tastes like chocolate or chocolate that tastes like shit?

"Eat shit that tastes like chocolate. It's gross anyway, but at least it would taste good. I'm just gonna pretend it's chocolate that looks like shit. Probably easier said than done, though."

23 … always be able to tell when someone is lying or be able to lie without anyone knowing?

"I don't really lie very often, so I'd go with always be able to tell when someone is lying. Although, I'm sure it will turn out to be a curse more than a blessing."

SECURITY BREACH

7…Have you blocked anyone on your phone?

“Oh, fuck yeah, dude, like, sometimes you gotta throw down the hammer and make somebody back the fuck off, you know what I’m saying? Especially if they’re violating your boundaries and all. There’s…there’s a few people back home I’ve also got blocked that just…I dunno, I couldn’t explain to them why I left, and…yeah. It was just easier.”

11…Name three apps that are installed on your phone.

“Spotify, Pokemon Go, and Obey Me: Shall We Date? Yeah, that last one’s a gatca game where you date demons or whatever - you wanna fight about it?”

17…Who was the last person you texted?

“This cutie I’m chatting with! Trying to figure out dinner plans sometime soon, maybe? Fuck, I’m excited.”

Lourdes could mostly pretend that all of last week didn’t happen. She could pretend her happiest week was leading to another good one, and everything on the weekday just didn’t happen. But to pretend it never happened wasn’t leading to anything good. She had a lot of time to just sit at home and ponder on her misbehavior, the way she lashed out at Reina. As much as she wanted to justify her actions, there was no way she could do that without....well, there was no way she could justify herself. She had failed to do her job. And most importantly, she had broken Reina’s trust in her, and that was just the worst thing she could have done. The only older person who believed in her, besides Christian, and she had let her down too. 

So she circled Reina’s table a couple of times, pretending like she wasn’t watching her as she took pictures with whoever wanted to come up to her. She was trying to gather the courage, her hands fiddling with her purse. Biting the bullet, the moment the seat opposite to Reina was free, she swooped in, “Is this seat taken?” Not waiting for her answer, Lourdes sat down. “Uhh...you look...really pretty, Reina. Is this a good time to talk, please?” Lourdes had promised herself she wasn’t going to cry, but the waterworks slipped out anyways.

Restlessness hit him like a truck. The feeling he should be something more with his life was always with him, every since he got off the ice, it became stronger and stronger and coming to Catalina, making a new life for himself did nothing to curb it. The coffee shop had kept him busy enough, constantly moving around, talking to customers exhausted him physically and mentally and that was a sweet feeling. Falling into bed and drifting into a dreamless sleep, he couldn’t ask for more. But of course with routine came familiarity, and with that came the unwanted thoughts. The place, the job, it was comfortable, but it was too comfortable. He knew the ins and outs, he had regulars that he made the order for without even giving the setting of the machine a second glance, it all became muscle memory something he didn’t without thinking. All the space in his mind had to filled with something right? 

It had been a ordinary morning that dissolved into an ordinary afternoon, Ethan was fishing out for spare coins he knew he had somewhere when he came across a card he had shoved into his wallet with a second thought. The second thoughts came now. As he turned the card over through his fingers, the memory came back. He vaguely remembered that conversation, but the proposal that was offered was clear as day. This would be something new to occupy his mind.

What the hell, he thought, turning sharply he made his way to the restaurant. It wasn’t hard to miss it. It was grand in every sense, to think this was a simple family was extremely hard to believe. He didn’t stop to take in the scenery though, he simply wanted to know if she still stood by her offer.

“Welcome! Will you be dining with Iris or Eve?” he was greeted upon, with the most customer smile he had ever seen, that made him want to laugh.

“...who? I’m just here to see Reina Rhodes.”

Her smile faltered a touch, clearly she wasn’t expecting that. “Is she expecting you?” 

“Uh....no? maybe? It was a month ago...she did give me her card though,” Ethan said holding out the tattered piece of cardboard. The waitress didn’t look terribly impressed, but she disappeared between the thick curtains anyway leaving him to do nothing but look around except he didn’t do much of that, eyes fixated on the card still in hands, he tried to get his thoughts in order and rehearsed what to say when he finally took up a month old offer.

Future Real Housewife of Catalina Island.

15…What is the last text you sent to my muse?:

imessage to Future Real Housewife of Catalina Island → I’m coming over to go through your closest again. 

imessage to Future Real Housewife of Catalina Island → I need to wear something new to shake up my mother. So, your closet is my go-to. Listen, before you tell me I have a bunch of clothes and new things, isn’t it always better going through someone else’s clothing? I think so. You know, I have every intention of sending her to the grave earlier than what she’s expecting.

imessage to Future Real Housewife of Catalin Island → You know… this is my step forward putting my mother into a Senior Citizen home or 6 feet under which I prefer the latter. Anyway, I’m on my way! Get a cigarette and wine ready.

Five years. In the span of a lifetime...it didn’t seem all that long. After all five years was only a fraction of the time he’d spent on Earth. But when it came to being separated from his wife, sister, and children— it certainly felt like a lifetime. He still remembered the frantic energy of the text he’d sent them, telling them to get out and run. His hands hand been slick with his own blood as he typed as thoughts of not even saying goodbye ran through his mind. And yet, here he was on Catalina all this time later, telling himself he was more that ready to see everyone. Jackson pushed down his uncharacteristic nerves, never one to let such things get the best of him or have his confidence waver. 

However this was, perhaps, a bit of an exception. Would they be happy to see him? Maybe they’d gotten used to a life without crime and not having to look over your shoulder. Would his youngest...Iris...would she accept him into the fold when they hadn’t even met? To smooth things over, and to make up for years of unwilling absence, Jackson had taken the time to buy a bouquet of the flower that shared his daughter’s namesake just for her. And of course he couldn’t come empty handed to his wife, either. He’d taken the liberty to let himself into the house, wanting to set up in the kitchen his little (or not so little) display. Dozens of vases of red roses were littered across the counters, in addition to some bags with some of Reina’s favorite brands. In truth, he half expected her to be furious when she saw him, berating him for all the years he’d been gone. Hopefully the gifts might smooth things over if they were needed. After setting the irises on the counter, he stiffened as he heard the tell tale click of heels in the foyer, delicious adrenaline suddenly spiking at the prospect of being confronted with his wife. But she wasn’t supposed to be here yet. Shit. He hadn’t wanted her to just find him here, no doubt having already heard him rustling around. Hopefully she’d at least look before she shot.

MILES ELLIS’S MASQUERADE BALL OUTFIT

In Miles’s words, “I was dressed under duress”, which is the honest truth, as @reinarhodes set out the clothes for him and threatened to yank him by the ear to the ball if he didn’t comply. He’s keeping it chic with the blazer and sneakers, and wearing a Rolex that was gifted to him by Jack Rhodes and is probably most expensive thing Miles will ever own.
