Bridget was waiting outside of the bank for Wesley to come out so they could grab some lunch. She had a coffee in hand for him and stood under the awning while it rained softly in town. It wasn't too bad, but knowing they were about to walk down the street, she wanted to try not to get too wet before they got to the restaurant. As her brother came outside, she handed him his coffee and sipped on her own. "Starting to think you snuck out the other way and left me here all alone." She teased him.

Jeremy threw his bag in the back of the Bronco and took off his work jacket before grabbing out another. He was done with work for the day and it had been a long one with preparation for the winter season. He figured he'd just stop and get something to eat downtown since he was already there and wouldn't have to cook, so after closing the door, he turned to walk towards one of the restaurants and he spotted Wesley. "Wes, hey. How are you?"

"So now that the weather is warming up -- or, well, hopefully will be soon -- we should definitely make this a more regular thing," Stelly said as they pulled to a stop on their longboard. "Cause a little chaos riding around town like teenagers, who doesn't love that?"

Closed Starter : for Nova/@morexfuntomiss ( sent 🎲 for a starter ) Muse : Wesley Bryant (31, heterosexual, forensic scientist) Plot : randomized to their dining room but there’s a blizzard outside, nobody is getting in or out of the house for the next day or two. could be friends or in a relationship/married. up to you!

Wesley was rushing to set the table. It was there first dinner party since they'd moved into this new place so he wanted everything to look good. He was probably stressing over nothing but he was a perfectionist and probably cared too much about what his friends though. As he was setting down the forks, he caught a glimpse outside the window, "Nova!" he called out to wherever she was in the home, "I think dinner might be off!"

IT WAS HARD TO ENJOY THE PARTY when he seemed to be having to chase astrid around for most of it , he knew perfectly well she was probably capable of taking care of herself but old habits seemed to die hard . he saw the younger girl as a sister he never even realized he wanted but took with grace in watching over . every corner of the house seemed alive with chatter and wes was willing to admit he'd lost track of astrid once or twice in the sea of faces , finally finding her her he was quick to pluck the solo cup from her hand , " no no no . who gave you that ? don't take drinks from strangers . " he said raising the cup to his own lips and taking a sip from it scrunching his face at its contents . " little heavy on the jack daniel's . don't give me that look . " wesley took another sip of the drink still failing to understand the appeal of jack and coke .

The reason they were out was to get his closest friend out to get over the pathetic guy she seemed to still be hung up on. Wesley has known Indiana for close to a decade, they met during the first month of classes during their undergrad. With her sights on being a surgeon and his a vet, they shared a few biology courses. It was Wesley's job to be a wingman, walking in he'd told her to sit at a booth while he get them drinks. While on his way back, she'd been chatting with someone already. As he approached the booth thinking his job would be done for the evening, he wanted to due at least some part of the job he'd been tasked with and listen into the conversation. He sat in the empty booth behind her so he could really eavesdrop, within a few moments, Wesley's eyebrows were furrowed in confusion and disbelief regards to how this guy was trying to hit on his best friend. Wesley wondered if he should intervene, but wanted to give the guy a bit of time to recover from this weird path he was on.

"Oh, sorry, didn't realize anyone else was out here," Rafael let out a low chuckle as he stepped into one of the nearby clearings, far enough away from the rest of the gathering to be quiet, without getting too lost in the woods. "Although I can understand why, it's even more magical away from the lights, I think."

WHERE: Summer Bash & Carnival

WHEN: July, 2023

"Am I reading that right?" Darrius asked, tilting his head to the side and glancing over at the person next to him. The sign on the food truck was chock full of random, interesting foods that he had never thought to try before, wasn't honestly sure how he felt about them in the moment, either. "Alligator bites. Ever had that before?"

Quiet was necessary for his well-being. Between playing basketball in front of packed out crowds and his home constantly being occupied, it was a difficult thing to find. That’s why Wesley enjoyed running so much. It allowed him a set time each day where it was just him and his thoughts, clear and away from interruption. He was pulled from his thoughts when he saw a familiar dog making its way towards him. A smile grew, headphones pushed down as he beant down to greet her. “Hey, Lady. Where’s your dad ? ” he cooed, wasting no time in rubbing her tummy. Wes glanced up to see Owen heading the same way. “Owen. How’ve you been, man ? Long time no see.”

"That's a lame excuse, Wes and you know it." The tone of her voice filled with hurt as her arms crossed against her chest. "Even when busy you've made the time to check in, even if it's one or two text messages. Now you are simply just ignoring me." / @littlewrensx

Wesley looked up, surprised by the statement but once he got over the surprise, he grinned, "Okay," he said, "Move in with me," he had been thinking about it. He couldn't spend too many nights away from home because of his child and she had a home of her own and couldn't always stay here but he wanted her here. He wanted to come home to each other and spend all their nights together, "A walk sounds good."

"Yeah? Maybe I should just move in." She shrugged. It was a joke, but one where she felt like if he had asked her to she'd say yes. Lexie looked down at the baby and smiled. "A relaxing weekend with my two favorite boys? I think that sounds good. Maybe we'll take the baby on a walk to the park."

Continued from here

Brooklyn's clarification was ignored, yet it didn't go unnoticed. Wesley's separation from his wife had been tough, though it was a bit of a joke to call them separated. Between the two of the, he couldn't count the amount of drunk or sober late night texts. He'd snuck out of their - her bedroom just this morning. Though they'd developed this routine, one of them calls, they sleep together, he sneaks out, they pretend it didn't happen. At first, Wesley was okay with it, it was his way of getting more of Brooklyn. Now, it was getting harder to pretend he didn't still love her. "See you later Fred." Wesley said to the man's back before turning to his ex-wife. "What?" He shrugged as if his actions were completely warranted. "I didn't know we were pretending to be interested in other people."

Wes didn’t consider himself to have many friends. In fact the circle consisted of three, maybe four people in total, half of which he’d known since he was a child. But Daniel had surprised him; their similarities clear. Wes knew that the other understood and didn’t expect more from him than he could give, and so it seemed to work. When the waitress brought over the bill, Wesley wasted no time in snatching it, giving it a quick look over before he slid his card inside, encouraging her to take it away with a generous tip. “Don’t say a damn word,” he raised a brow, the ghost of a smile threatening to form. “I said it was on me, so we’re not doing this back and forth shit tonight. Just enjoy your food.”

"There are always exceptions," she agreed with a nod of her head, knowing that there would always be parents out there that had kids for all of the wrong reasons, and weren't able to care for them the way that they deserved to be, but she knew that from the sounds of it, they were both pretty lucky with where they had ended up in their lives, and the families that they had been blessed with. Smiling to herself, Lena nodded her head, "basically you're happy with whatever happens," whether that meant having a little girl or a little boy, if the opportunity ever came up to have any kids at all, given that life could be rather unpredictable. Meanwhile, Lena was happy with her fish and her cat, knowing that whether that was all the more she had in terms of 'kids' or if the opportunity ever presented itself for her to explore other options, she would take that day by day. Besides, she mused as she watched Marisol dig through the sand, her niece kept her plenty busy enough most days. "She does, she's happier here than she would have been in Los Angeles, I think." Maybe when she got older, that would change, she would develop interests that were more suited towards that sort of scene, but the city was no place for a little girl, she had always held on to that belief whenever she had visited or spent any significant amount of time there. "Merrock's just a good place for anyone, you know?" Adults, teenagers, kids… when people said that it was a town for families, they weren't kidding around.

"You'd at least hope so," Wes shook his head. Realistically, that wasn't always the case, but for his siblings at least, he could say that it was mostly love for kids and parenthood. He, however, was good with his one for now. Down the road, maybe a couple more wouldn't hurt, but he wasn't made for a large number of children. Wes paused to think for a moment when Lena asked if he would prefer to have another little girl. Really, he didn't have a preference, but there was definitely some comfort in familiarity that he was sure would benefit him if he ended up having more daughters. He expressed as much, explaining, "I'm happy being a girl dad. I'd love another daughter some day, but if I have a son, not gonna have an issue with it, you know? Not happening anytime soon though, so guess we'll see when it happens. If it happens." Wesley wasn't in a rush to have more kids, not even in a particular rush to find someone to settle down with, but it wasn't a secret that it was something he wanted sometime down the line. Now that Ary was getting older, he was getting more comfortable with the idea of dating again. He was open to where that would lead. He laughed along as Elena did, speaking in his daughter's taste in entertainment as opposed to his own. "We're not real strict with her in that way. Never have been. She's into pop, she can listen to it. She wants to watch Barbie princess movies, we'll sit down and watch it with her. She's a kid, you know? Gotta let her explore her own interests. But she knows all the good deathcore I listen to, her mom's real into more goth music, she was watching horror movies with as as a baby. I call it being well-rounded," he shrugged with a chuckle. The approach seemed to be working thus far. Arabella had a variety of interests, and while neither Kelsie nor Wesley were forcing their more alternative preferences on her, he was proud that she had both picked up on some of that while also standing her ground on her own more age-appropriate, "normie" interests as well. It would make her a cooler adult, in his opinion. "Probably worked out for the best," he smiled over at Lena when she explained the family dynamics surrounding helping to raise Marisol. "She's got a bunch of family here, and she's got some pretty cool folks to influence her to be a cool kid," he nodded. While Marisol was a tad young for Arabella to spend time with her frequently, it seemed the young girl was good enough company that his twelve year old was happy to spend time with her in instances like their current castle building. He took that to mean that Marisol was at least a cool almost eight year old in Arabella's eyes, and that had to mean something for those raising her.
