There were five long, insufferable minutes of silence after Audrey’s kitchen comments. In which, the brunette proceeded to fill up her plate with an assortment of breakfast foods and start eating. Soon enough it was Ava who, as if not being able to stand the quietness any longer, decided to speak up. Her words came blunt and slightly accusing as she asked Audrey if her interest in her brother came from his wallet.

Instead of taking offense to Ava Mossos’ accusations, Audrey actually smirked in amusement. Although she hid it behind a mask of crassness, it was clear that the petite girl cared very much about her brother. It made sense, seeing as she was probably well aware of the intentions of some women while Alex had simply used his dick instead of his brain. The closest the Latina had to a sibling was Delilah and Leslie, and she would most definitely be suspicious and on the lookout for anyone trying to get advantage of them. It was this why she wasn’t fazed with the suspicions, and instead tried to reassure the young woman sitting across her that she had no ill intentions.

“Oh, no. I’m pretty well off in the financial department.” Audrey calmly replied to Ava, taking a bite of her scrambled eggs and swallowing them before continuing with her answer. “If you’ve got any doubts, a quick Google search can provide you with most of the answers you seek. If my family was going through any sort of financial situation or distress, everyone would know: trust me. The tabloids would have a field day.”

At Ava’s inquiry of if Alex had drugged her to get her to sleep with him, Audrey’s eyes widened, and she nearly choked on her juice. “Wait, has he done that before?!” she cried out, clearly concerned. Unfortunately, her comment was ignored by the bickering of the Mossos siblings. She made a mental note to inquire further about this accusation later on.

A second attempt at not choking on her juice failed miserably when Ava once again put Audrey on the hot seat. This time, the girl voiced aloud her puzzlement at how the brunette had ended up in bed with Alexandros. The question caused a surprised Audrey to succumb to a quick coughing fit, which thankfully subsided after a few short seconds. What was she supposed to say? She cleared her throat a few times before speaking up.

“I’ll plead the Fifth on that one, darling Ava.” Audrey said matter-of-factly, as if she hadn’t been choking on her drink again just seconds before. She looked into the Mossos girl’s eyes -just as gorgeous as her brother’s- before answering. “Whatever answer I give you will only serve to further inflate that enormous ego your brother so proudly possesses. So I think I’m doing us both a favor by not answering that particular question.”

Of course, this excuse was not the real reason Audrey refused to diffuse Ava’s curiosity on why she, ‘one of the most dignified -if not just slightly bitchy- girls at school’ chose to intimately involve herself with the girl’s big brother. But, how could Audrey possibly explain the strange spell Alexandros had placed on her from the moment her eyes met his? How could she explain that he had some sort of hold on her, and that from the day she saw him there had been no other guy in her mind? How could she put into words that she had never wanted a guy as badly as she wanted Alexandros, and that finally having him had made all her fantasies a reality? The answer was, she couldn’t. Not without sounding like some sort of smitten loser (which she clearly wasn’t, right?). So, in order to preserve her integrity and mystery somewhat, Audrey dodged the question and continued to eat her breakfast.

The relief Audrey felt after finally using the bathroom was beyond compare. Now her attention was shifted to more pressing matters: hunger. As much as she was looking for to get some nourishment after the night she’d just had, the prospect of meeting yet another member of the Mossos clan in her present state was not one she was looking forward to. While washing her hands on the sink, the brunette debated on pulling a Chapo and escaping from Casa Mossos while everyone was busy at the kitchen. A loud growl of her stomach quickly vetoed that plan, causing Audrey to let out a deep, annoyed sigh.

Oh, well. Might as well take advantage of the meal while she was there.

Sighing again, Audrey dried her hands and made the somewhat long walk from the upstairs bathroom to the kitchen. Although keeping her head held high with a straight face, her nervousness increased with every step. The nerves were replaced with curiosity when she was steps away from the kitchen. Voices were coming from the room: Alex’s, Ava’s and another high-pitched male one. She heard the high-pitched male voice ask Alex if he’d slept well, and Audrey could clearly see in her mind the smirk Alex must have had in his face when he declared he hadn’t slept much. The Latina rolled her eyes, but ultimately smirked herself as the memories of the past night washed over her. Another growl from her stomach pulled her back to reality, and after giving another annoyed sigh she entered the kitchen.

“Whoa! Alex, that’s Audrey Huntsberg!”

The young man’s shriek caused Audrey to stop cold on her tracks. She felt her eyes widen with surprise as a thin male teen that looked to be no older than fifteen basically jumped out of his seat and approached her. However, the crown jewel of this mortifying situation was when, after he declared she was ‘amazing’ and that he had ‘watched all of the videos of her dances on Youtube’, he wrapped her in a hug that was rather strong for someone with his skinny frame.

“Uuuuuuuuuummmmm, thanks...” Audrey muttered awkwardly as she returned the hug, visibly cringing. She had never felt this out of her element in her whole life.

She was thankful for Ava’s interjection in her behalf. It seemed his sister was the only one who could get him to behave, because at her scold the young man named Georgie let go of Audrey and sat down. Meanwhile, the brunette took a few seconds to compose herself before taking up the empty seat next to Alexandros. She tucked a strand of her wavy brown hair behind her ear and looked around the room, purposely avoiding eye contact with everyone.

“This is a really nice kitchen.” Audrey blurted out, clearing her throat at the end of her statement. The uncomfortable silence was killing her, as was the unwanted attention. The kitchen just happened to be the first thing that came to mind.

@Inkarnate After that happened to me a couple times a few times years ago, I switched to Google docs to write down post and copy-paste them here. It's saved me more times than you can imagine.

@Sailorsadie Thanks so much for worrying! <3 I have you and your family in my thoughts.

“Alexandros, open this god-forsaken door right now!”

A shrill voice rang through the outside hallway and Alexandros’ bedroom, loud enough to be heard clearly even with the heavy wooden door being locked and shut. Audrey heard Alex moan irritably beside her, and silently watched him as he rose from the bed, leaving the top of her head partially exposed. The brunette hastened to cover herself up completely once more, thus attracting Alex’s attention for a moment.

“There’s nothing to worry about.” he said, in a tone meant to reassure her. The words, of course, had not had his desired effect on Audrey. She was as reassured as one could be while laying nude under the covers of a man’s bed with his sister shouting bloody murder outside his door, demanding to go inside.

’Nothing to worry about, my ass.’

Audrey didn’t have much time to think, because soon she was hearing footsteps, the door unlocking, the doorknob moving and the door swinging open.

The young woman’s voice inquired, in the same brass tone, who Alex had been talking to, to which he gave a smartass answer. As expected, the young woman continued to question him, and this time he replied with a lie. From her position under the covers, Audrey was starting to get a familiar sensation in her lower region, one that was as unwelcome as a sneeze would be in this situation… She wanted to pee. Badly.

As a pair of lighter footsteps entered the room, Audrey felt her body starting to shake with the pressure of holding the pee in. Unfortunately, this was noted by the young woman, who commented aloud on the fact, Audrey closed her eyes and willed her body to stop shaking and focus on other than the fact that she really had to go. But as it often happens in cases like this: the more you try not to think about it, the more you do.

To Latina’s dismay, Alexandros admitted he had a ‘lady friend’ in his bed. She was relieved that he hadn’t mentioned her name, but the relief was soon replaced with suspicion when the young woman mentioned another female’s name. At this, Alex laughed and denied. However, when he said something about ringing the other girl up, Audrey was now shaking with holding back from getting out of the covers, grabbing him by the throat and demanding to know who this ‘Vio-bitch’ was.

At the young woman’s clear disapproval, Alex shrugged off his previous comments. And to prove his point, he pulled the covers to reveal the person hidden underneath them.

Audrey let out a shriek as she felt the covers pulled off her. She’d barely had time to grab enough of the sheets as to not have her whole body exposed. But her head and shoulders were now completely visible for the world to see. Her eyes, wide with shock at the embarrassing situation she was in, met a pair of blue ones similar to Alexandros’. The petite, pajama-clad young woman staring at her with an identical speechless expression to hers was Alexandros’ younger sister Ava. Whatever urge to pee Audrey had previously had, it instantly vanished.

Audrey watched with a petrified expression as Ava gathered herself again before declaring she was ‘better than than that blonde bimbo’ and addressing her directly. The brunette swallowed as the young woman sort of welcomed her to the family (which was a rather interesting choice of words seeing as this was the first time Audrey and Alex had been ‘together’), gave her a rundown of which family member was in and who was out, and reassured her that at least she wouldn’t have to face the Mossos heads of the family before heading out, mumbling to herself. Although this was a fact that did relieve her, it did nothing to change the fact that she had been caught in Alexandros’ bed by his sister.

Finally, Alexandros looked at Audrey, who shot him a death glare so heated that it could have melted the Antarctic.

“Don’t give me that look. Ava’s really observant. You should really work on the concept of ‘staying still.” he teased her, bopping her nose with his right index finger.

At any other moment, she would have found the gesture endearing. But instead, she slapped his hand away.

“That didn’t mean you had to fucking expose me like that, Alexandros!” Audrey shrieked indignantly, throwing the sheets off from her body and rising up to her full 5’7” height. Even if Alex had nearly half a foot on her, the way her brown eyes blazed with anger and her fists were shut tight were enough to sober him up. “What the fuck were you thinking, pulling the sheets off me like that?! And in front of your sister, no less! Pull a little harder and she would’ve gotten a real eyeful! I can’t believe you made me go through this fucking humiliating scene. What’s she going to think about me now?! Ever stopped to think about that? Of course not, you selfish prick! All you care about is yourself!”

Alex paid no attention to her rant, and instead continued as if nothing had happened. He mentioned meeting his brother and food, and even in Audrey’s livid state some breakfast sounded good to her now-aching stomach (which was definitely contributing to her current abrasive mood). Begrudgingly, she unceremoniously grabbed the shirt from Alex’s hand and slid it on her tanned body. As she buttoned it, she made her way to a dresser and opened it without permission. She found just what she’d been looking for on the first try: a pair of black boxer briefs, which she quickly slid on before making her way to face Alexandros.

“For the record: if I ever hear about you getting involved with this Viola person -whoever that whore is- I will bite your dick off. And trust me, I am not playing around. Just ask Bianca Salazar and Janice Nelson.”

Before he could register what had just been said, Audrey summoned up as much dignity as she could given her current position; as much dignity as one could had when wearing nothing but one of Alex’s clean boxers and a button-down shirt. The brunette turned her back on him, locks of wavy brown hair swinging behind her, and stomped out of the room, head held high. She didn’t wait for Alex to escort her to the kitchen, and took it upon herself to get there on her own even if it meant getting lost along the way.

But first things first: she really needed to pee.

Awww, western union cares about us! They mention the hurricane hitting us in the bulletin. 💖 Thankfully we were spared and only got tropical storm conditions instead.

@AnaSilan Sunja The cat 5 hurricane is expected to hit in a few hours here in Puerto Rico. I know I'll be safe, but my phone provider is shitty and I already lost signal.

So once the electricity goes I'm basically off the grid. So in case I don't reply to anything, it's because of that.

The Breakfast Club: Looking for students

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to commit to this. 😔 My country is on hurricane watch, so that means I'll be without electricity for an indefinite period of time. Plus with my college obligations (which I'm sure will mount once classes resume) I know I won't give this RP the detail and attention it deserves. My apologies, I really wanted to join. 😭💔

After what was a very long night, morning had arrived for the couple. The two laid all cuddled up on the bedroom’s plush queen-sized bed, nice and warm under the luxurious covers and the closeness each other’s bodies. Audrey Huntsberg woke up to a single ray of bright light shining directly in her face, signaling to the arrival of a new day. The brightness in sleepy chocolate brown eyes bothered her, so she turned around to avoid it. She found herself tucked underneath someone’s chin. Frowning, she moved back a little and came face to face with a young man. The person sleeping beside her, who had been acting as the big spoon, was Alexandros: still fast and deep asleep as confirmed by his deep snoring. The events of the past day flooded into Audrey’s memory, and a warm, fuzzy feeling washed over her. It had finally happened: they had become one.

Audrey was smiling now, taking advantage of his nearly comatose-state to express the soft feelings she would normally hold back in order to preserve her tough, hard to get persona. He had his arms around her, but he was so far gone intro Dream Land that her actions didn’t wake him. Her soft smile widened as she watched him: the locks of dark brown hair on his forehead, the feathery eyelashes, the full lips that felt like fire upon her skin, his strong jaw… Before she realized what she was doing, her fingers were brushing the hair off his forehead and gently caressing his light-skinned cheek. She savored the feeling of their bodies so close to each other, the strength of his arms wrapped around her, enjoying every little detail… Because who knew if this would be the only time?

Even as she was lost in cuddling with Alex peacefully sleeping beside her, Audrey wasn’t immune to what was happening around her. In the silence of the morning, the sound of footsteps approaching the bedroom were getting closer. Horrified, the brunette watched as the doorknob to Alexandros’ room slowly began to turn. The thought of being discovered in his bed by members of the house staff -or worse: of his family members- was a embarrassment she wanted to save herself from. And so, Audrey had just enough time to slid inside the covers and pretend to be nothing but a stack of pillows before she heard the door slowly open.

@Tlstiffl Hi! I have conceps for a male criminal and the princess character (which I would REALLY LOVE because she is BADASS lol) already written out!

Question: how many posts do you expect on average? I'm a full-time college student so my taking on this RP would depend on my free time available for posts.
