Inside they went, Zane ducking to keep her from knocking her head on the door frame before setting her down.

Once she reached the floor, she took his hand again. "Just this way." She guided him across the store.

2015-10-05 08:42:36

"What are we looking for?"

"A shot glass for Lance. He's been wanting one from here since I was-"

"IVORY?!" A female called out to her. She turned.

A woman with thin black hair made her way towards them. She stopped when Ivory held out her hand in a stopping gesture, eyes slightly widened. The woman slid to stop. "Oh. Right." She put her hands up in surrender. "Can I at least apologize?"

2015-10-06 00:39:42

🌀

Zane tensed. He recognized her all too well. "......no. You may not apologize." His hand tightened on Ivory's and he placed the other on her shoulder.

Ivory looked to Zane. "It's okay, I got this." She squeezed his hand before looking back to her old friend. "Make it quick. I'm in the middle of something." Her tone was more serious.

Emma blinked, not expecting this reaction from Ivory. "Look, I'm sorry for everything. I was immature and acted as such. I know it certainly won't fix anything between us and I don't expect forgiveness. Just that I realized how great of a friend you were and you didn't deserve that....and I'm sorry."

Ivory paused for a moment, before inhaling deeply. "...Okay."

"Okay?"

"Okay."

"............" He distrusted her, of course. But Ivory seemed to know what she was doing. Was Emma telling the truth? Or at least, telling it sincerely? Either way, hopefully this conversation wouldn't go on much longer.

"I...Okay...who is he, if I can ask? Is he your roommate?" Emma looked to Zane.

"No, he's my boyfriend."

She made a face. Not of disgust, but more of genuine shock. As if she couldn't believe Ivory used 'boy' and 'friend' in the same sentence, or that she was dating someone over a foot taller that her. "Oh. I just assumed since...no one has seen you since graduation that..."

"Yes, I know. I moved out." She glanced in the direction Emma came from. It looked like there was a woman there waiting for her...with a baby in her arms...and a toddler in a stroller....who looked around Ivory and Emma's age...oh...uh...not asking about it. "I think your friend wants you back."

Emma looked over. "Oh. Yes. Sorry. I came here to look for a job...the whole...arrested thing is kinda making living difficult. I got kicked out...and live with her now...yeah I...should go." She ran towards her friend once more.

.....goodbye, and good riddance. He was silent for a moment before clearing his throat. "....we should find that shot glass."

2015-10-06 01:02:33

●

"Yeah, that'd be a good idea. Ah" She stopped at them, all in different sizes in colors. She scanned them all, looking for the perfect one. "You know...I almost didn't recognize her without the blue in her hair." She commented.

2015-10-06 01:07:08

🌀

"Her face looked almost the same, though. Did you know the person she was with?"

2015-10-06 01:08:20

●

"I guess you're right about that. Nope. No clue. Just know she's not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed."

2015-10-06 01:09:55

🌀

He chuckled a little. "Too bad for them, I guess. Maybe he would like a blue one?"

2015-10-06 01:10:51

●

"Not my problem to deal with, so I'm not going to tell her she's an idiot to her face." She paused. "I'm actually debating on getting him the pink one to fuck with him."

2015-10-06 01:12:58

🌀

"If this is something he has wanted for a long time though, you might want to get one he will enjoy more."

2015-10-06 03:49:48

●

"He said he wanted a shot glass. Didn't specify which color." She grabbed the pink one.

2015-10-06 03:50:31

🌀

"...alright. I guess it will get a laugh."

2015-10-06 03:53:11

●

"I'll laugh, at least." She guided him to the checkout.

2015-10-06 03:55:29

🌀

He stood and waited while she bought the shot glass. "What ride should we go on next?"

2015-10-06 03:58:55

●

They rode a few more rides together, and saw the light parade. Now, it was almost time for the fireworks show. Ivory found a place a bit more away from the large crowds of people, but still in a good view of Cinderella's Castle.

2015-10-06 04:05:18

🌀

He sat down on the bench and let her sit on his lap, watching the sky seriously as if the mothership would arrive aaaany second now.

2015-10-06 04:06:35

●

She rested her head on his shoulder, eyes to the sky. The fireworks started, color exploding the sky.

2015-10-06 04:10:42

🌀

The explosions began, and he gasped. It was beautiful. For the entirety of the show, he was mesmerized by the lights.

2015-10-06 04:14:28

●

Occasionally, she would glance to Zane, and smiled at his excitement. He was so happy. That's all she could over want. She leaned over, and gently kissed him on the cheek.

2015-10-06 04:18:40

🌀

He managed to tear his eyes away from the sky long enough to kiss her back, holding the back of her head.
