Marinalia Romus Olympus "Mali" & Victoria Darya Romus "Vika"
Swan songs to Hesphestus Manor Art show . Saturday Evening . Park View district .
Marinalia was a alittle Suprised how ewaily she was starting to handle things, well alot... She expected to ne a nurotic of confused mess but hey. It all was working? What was up with that? That was a question she really needed less cocktails to answer. The whole sunburn... Oh that was just nna be a trip to chemist for some factor 50 or higher... Did they sell higher? She would find out. The only other little worry was well... Carabian. Bikini... No real choice Thete. Skirt shopping it was... There where a few fun ways she s could be comfortable, pretty and a alittle desirable too. Oh and hats, sandals, some lighter tops and so... Shopping trip was definitely planned in a day off. Northern living had greatly depleted her hot weather options.
"Nothing a alittle shopping day cannot fix, and some SPF 50 I may need help with my caribian cutie. Kinda silly, but beech riding... I can teach you, just you me and the ocean. A girl can dream." joking slightly with a mirthfyl expression , for some reason she had a natural ease trusting Xia, recently barred and locked gates opened up again, and least there was a alittle light at the tunnels end. A few cocktails where definitely influencing her thinking.
Marlin explained, yeah they tended to follow each other into trouble, but that was normal for sisters? Eh, they gave up on normal, life just had thrown too much at time to seem normal. Thr only regret she had was that Xia was effected. It was her fight not Xia's. If she wanted to be friends. That was fine, well if they let her anyway. Depended how militant they where feeling tonight it seemed.
Marinalia was a alittle confused what to do... She might want to calm it or so but in the same night that Victoria had turned out maybe pregnant, argued with Mill. She had a fake... Or real momment with Siobhan and Maria had exchanged words.... Tonight was insane. At least Xia was sticking by her, god knows what kinda wreck she would be of she got dumped on the same night that would be extreme even by there families rediculous drama standards.
"your free to do as you like, Paige was... Intresting and I think she... Well put someone away who hurt me. Told you my life was never boring.
Il see, I still have to deal with her abit, she is basically using my house. So some things might be unavoidable. Things like the tear down and so." Marinalia really just did not quite know the right course of action, she knew Xia was supporting her, but she also felt bad her choices where impacting her girlfriends. She was free to go and do what she wnated, she did not have to be bound to fall under the Olympus banner of the feud.
Letting go of her hand, she had forgotten when she was holding it or so, just another mystery for her and so, though after that snowy winter weekend... Well her idea of awkward with Xia was rather much changed very quickly. Add the... Unsure if true mentions from Ethan. Plus Siobhan and all... Hiding was a total fail. Might as well have fun and enjoy life! Vanilla, cliche as it was white Choclate... She loved white Choclate ice cream!
"See you soon. White Choclate ice cream more like! cliche as it sounds, I love it. Good luck, what fate decides my curvaceous cutey" smiling, she did not mind others seeing them Happy, it was strange but it worked and well fuck... Ifnit worked it worked! Touching her cheek a alittle where she had been Kissed, it was somthing that should be the same surely, but it was and not. Oh wow, her internal voices where going like a bunch of crazy people tonight.
Anyway, how could Siobhan see her as a threat to Joel, she would have to bloody paranoid to think that now. The evidence she was well... It was obvious. Plus she was clearly taken and happy with someone. Why would she risk this for a guy who dating someone else... Marinalia would have to be stupid as they thought she was. One thing she was not...misguided at times. But never stupid. She was being trained to fly the new civilian C130 for fucks sake. Try that. Probably not even turn on thr radio... Yet alone start up the engines. Thr little comments she was not sure where that began. It was fun though, even of they had drawn the odd glance. As before. Well they where happy, not tying to bother anyone too much actively, people where strange... So very strange.
...
OK that was strange. Xia was doing fine over there, well not Xia had a away with people Marlin lacked abit but still... Calm... There was not huge upswell of drama, dramatics and fury. Could tonight stop with the suprises?
Siobhan, Xia, sio, Vika, Milo... Everyone was linked somehow though, and she could see how this had become such a web of a mess. The bridge between milo and Victoria was raised to its foundations though. Not that was a bad thing she thought slightly darkly. If she was pregnant then she had to stick with Ethan, even if they fell out of love, a child was forever not for Christmas. Oh. How batting for thr other team, getting a girlfreind, she could not end up pregnant acidiantly whatever she did.
Keeping a protective eye on Xia, she could not help but worry for her, she was definitely doing OK but even then she was tied to Marinalia. Feud ot no feud, and cold as some thought she was. She did care deeply for her family, and Xia was in the care category... If this kept up, she really wondered how it was possible she was falling to care for her so quickly. It was a alittle scary bit also amazing.
The art... Art was amazing, she had wandered a while but kept being drawn to a winter scene that reminded her of home. A few others like the city hall or views where intresting but none got her imagination like the snowy scene. Hopefully her bid via Maria was not "lost". She would enjoy thr painting even if the artist was not on freindly terms.
...
Marinalia saw Xia aproach and her waiting cocktails, hers with rum and more fruit than should be possible and Marlins a lemony one, she liked Lemonchello, somehow the bar staff where very creative and seemed to like a challenge. That red dress really really suited her, it was definitely cheeky, almost literally again lol. Marinalia was not exactly entirely coservetive split to the upper thigh, backless and so, Xia's least showed off one thing, her rather enviable legs...to great effect.
Smiling at her girlfriends return from the group, somehow she had been rather tense about it all... Marinalia was not looking to see a Xia hurt and dragged into the trouble. Much as they had only recently met, they rather had connected none the less.
"Blunt... But rather Acurate. That's her choice, her loss if not work out how swesome you are.
Cheers hon! Fruity, colourful and fun like you" laughing, yes she really had a silly side, though somthing about the endless up beat Caribian woman seemed to make it present. She really needed to quit with the internal soul monologues. Her brain was really doing strange things tonight. Though she was feeling a tad... Well protective of what she had and who with, keeping a careful eye on Xia while she was over there.
A warm hand found hers, Marlin could get used to that. She had not had someone close like this for a while. It was nice. Till she felt a alittle blush as a hand found her thigh under the table where the dress split, and felt a gentle motion. A few other whispers had her trying to hide her reactions and failing if it was not for her makeup she would be blushing worse... Xia really was... Full flavoured like her choice in cocktails. With a cheeky smile out of sight, she did not bother moving Xia's hand, it felt pleasant.
"i could lie... But you present a good case.
Tell your cousin there's a decent bottle of rum if he returns after 10.30 to 11.00 and does not call me white girl. Let me grab a bag and coat and some shoes not torturing me and I'm yours! " OK Marinalia was not normally this decisive but well, Xia had... Changed somthing. Downing thr last of her drunk she gave her a kiss, a few quiet flirty words of her own and got up, heading upstairs to pack a bag, grab her boots and a coat.
Before leaving she bid Ethan and others goodnight. Part smiling watching the two at the music night, well. Definitely together and Vokas friend had somewhat charming her brother. Fairly polite, she was kinda rather distracted by her girlfriend and her ways. Shaking her head at the teasing and comments. They where just jealous she thought and vanished off with a click of heels and a alittle bounce to her step though careful not to let her dress expose herself. It already had tape in the odd place to keep exactly where it should be.
...
Returning quickly, she had swapped her heals for a pair of shiny dark leather taller boots as she grabbed first she could find, her warm and lined flight jacket, a small bag over one shoulder and her hand bag. It was not most stylish but it was a way to have somthing less obvious to go home with. Heals, a gown and so... Yeah... Nope. She had a change, plus her feet where cursing her birth. Mixed up as was it still looked cute. A quick word to Maria and a hug which even Xia got from her mum for being first person in years to crack her shell in months who decided to "forget" exactly what she up to and merely told her to meet her and Victoria in the afternoon.
"oh, Don, t worry, we will work out a plan and help Victoria, me, Marla and Rachel all have been there. You just have fun, Xia, well... You Don,t need my permission, but you can have my approval. " leaving them a alittle later to talk to someone regarding closing the event, she was next closest to owner, Victoria was resting and Marlin was off to... Well she would not ask questions she did not want answers for.
The art evening had been.... Intense to say the least, making her way for a quick word, she had other places to be she would much rather enjoy in many ways. She was nervous about well, this was a new thing but was a good thing right. She really hoped Xia would stick around, she definitely was coming to rely on Xia.
Reaching Sios table, a alittle nervous, but as Xia had said, she had her back regardless. She was not going alone this time. The leather jacket and boots where a alittle strange with the dress but she was headed out. It was obvious why... The cute blue haired girl and Marcus... Adorable couple. She really hoped they made it. Siobhan, Piage made her nervous, even Milo he was... A outlier. The other two she had a good handle on, but Milo was a wild card.
"Intresting would be a word to describe tonight... Siobhan, Alexandria... Maria will be in charge of the house regards to locking up etc. I'm headed out with Xia, and Victoria is likely sleeping by now.
Much as you hate me, your work was excellent. Take down begins as planned, 11.00 am Sunday if your still on schedule. Have a wonderful evening. Now i have a waiting Uber and a very pretty date to attend to. " keeping her tone pretty calm, cooler but not icey. She stuck strictly to the point. She glanced over at Paige and Milo struggling to hide a few nerves. They where wild cards. Giving the others a friendly wave and bidding the group goodnight including the twins, Marcus and Vika, s somewhat flirty Russian friend. Dira was rather pretty and her internal voice teasing her on how she could not of missed things.
Leaving with a friendly wave, she found Xia's hand, and trusted Maria to handle things. Her mum was rather experienced in planning and orgonisation. Everything was safely in hand. She could use the guest room on third floor tonight. She reallt had ernough drinks to not drive in any sane country plus Victoria would have someone on hand for advice if she needed it. They already had a long afternoon to catch up on things and work out what to do and how best to help Vika.
Leaving for a waiting Uber, she cuddled close to Xia and could not resit her hand wandering to her thigh as they traveled over ignorinf a few glances from the driver who she left a decent tip, so very glad her cousin was busy. Well she needed a alittle help and took things a alittle slower to start with, but soon it certainly would a night she was not gonna forget, or fail to look back on with a smile and a abit of a blush. Xia was patient but Marlin was a quick learner, much to Xia's benefit.
*that's all folks... Much fun later*
...
Curled up utterly peacefully asleep next to her girlfriend a extremely content, and happy Marinalia had forgotten the nights drama and merely felt safe next to the Caribian Cutey who somehow had fallen into her life, bed and was worming her way slowly but surely to her heart. After a rather intense night in more than one way, Marinalia would definitely not be waking up early. She reallt did not want to have to leave this bed and her girlfriends comforting prescense in a rush. Her cousin definitely could delay... Plus the girl he was seeing.. Well some things definitely where not best being first to finish! If he played his cards right he would not be in such a bad mood as last time she met the man.
