June 30th

Bar and Peace-OTA
In just a few days Daisy will be 28 years old. It's still weird for her to actually know her birthday now, and even weirder that she was a year older than she thought she was for years. Although she wouldn't actually be here on her actual birthday, Daisy had put out a post on the network if anyone wanted to come celebrate with her at the bar she worked at, Bar and Peace, she would be there later in the day. Of course she'd have to be careful with how much she drank, as she was working.

July 1st-3rd

Key West
When Jesse had come to her house that morning, Daisy had been expecting just a days drive down to the beaches in the Key West. What she was not expecting was to be surprised with a three days stay on a private resort that they had to get to by boat. Once they were checked into their room, Daisy immediately fell back onto the bed. It had been a long drive down, even if she hadn't been the one driving.

"Okay. I know you said you were going to spoil me, but, this is seriously ridiculous."

Jesse, as usual, isn't tired at all. He looks as bright-eyed as always when he sinks down onto the bed beside her, flashing a smile that's meant to be innocent but looks mischievous on his face. "What?" he teases. "It's just a little bungalow."

It's a little more than just a bungalow, given that it's on a luxury resort and costs a thousand dollars a night.

[morethan084]

"A little bungalow." Daisy mocked, lazily hitting him on the arm.

"We had to take a boat just to get here. Are you kidding me?" No, he's not. Obviously. She doesn't even want to know how much this all cost, but more than she was actually worth.

It takes a bit of effort, but she does push herself up enough to give him a quick kiss.

"Don't think I didn't notice the no cell phone signs either."

[hostage]

Jesse leans in to meet her halfway, smiling against her mouth. His hand finds its way to her waist, pulling her a bit closer and holding her there. "What d'you need a cell phone for?" he purrs before pressing another soft kiss to her lips.

[morethan084]

She is all for this. Although, eventually, she'd like to see the rest of this place.

"Well, as entertaining as you are, I do want to take pictures."

[hostage]

"I don't think anybody's gonna stop you from taking pictures," he replies with a short huff of a laugh. "And if they do, I'll pay 'em to leave you alone."

[morethan084]

That gets a laugh out of her. Wedging her arm under his side that's against the bed, she wrapped both of them around his middle and held herself against him.

"You can't buy off everyone, Jesse. But, you're definitely getting there with me."

Realizing she hadn't actually thanked him again, she pressed another kiss to his lips before pulling her head back to look at him.

"Thank you."

[hostage]

She's so beautiful, he feels drunk when he looks at her, all dazed and stupid and only half-paying attention to the words coming out of his mouth: "You don't gotta thank me. I'm the one getting the real present."

Painfully sappy and completely honest.

[morethan084]

"Uh. No. You get no presents. This is my birthday." She knows what he means, but that's how she reacts to sappy things sometimes. By being a smart ass. Even still, she breaks out into a wide smile.

"I'm glad I picked a bikini I liked, I feel like I'm never going to be out of it this entire trip."

[notsheepish]

Okay, Ruby tries not to make going out to bars too much of a habit anymore, even if Jessica and Daisy in one spot located conveniently close to her place does tempt her. But every once in a while, it's fun to have a night out with friends and something to celebrate, and this is most certainly an occasion worthy of a celebration

Explaining her sudden appearance at some point late in the evening, leaning on the bar with a small paper box in hand.

"Happy early birthday, Miss Daisy."

[morethan084]

Daisy had just finished up another customer's drink when she spotted Ruby. Moving over to where she was sitting, Daisy stops when she notices a box in her hand.

"You didn't have to get me anything, Ruby."

That doesn't stop her from reaching out to take it from her, a genuine smile on her face.

"Thank you."

[notsheepish]

"You're welcome," she says as she passes the gift to Daisy and crosses her arms on the bar, still grinning. "But don't get too excited now. It was a little last second, so I had to kind of go with what they had."

The box, which has "Flour Garden" written on it in fancy script, may or may not contain a cupcake decorated for the Fourth of July.

[morethan084]

"Any present would get me excited." Since, you know, she never got any growing up.

Her face lit up even more when she found out her present was food.

"Oh my god, this is amazing. Did you read my mind?" Is it rude to eat it now? Because she's going to either way.

[notsheepish]

Ruby laughs a little at that. "That sounds like it'd make buying presents a lot easier, but nah, not really one of my powers."

[morethan084]

Daisy's already taken a few bites out of her cupcake before she speaks up again.

"Well, probably better that it isn't. But, this is really good. Thank you."

Setting it down inside the box, Daisy brushed her hands against her legs.

"You want anything?"

[notsheepish]

"Yes!" Ruby perks up immediately. "Birthday shots! One for each of us, for now. Birthday girl's choice."

[morethan084]

That got a laugh out of her.

"Fine. It's not like I haven't seen Jessica drink on the job."

Making both their shots, Daisy slid Ruby's over to her.

[akas]

Well, it's her bar, right?

"You should've told me beforehand." Says the grumpy bartender as she cleans some glasses with a rag. She'll have to come up with a gift later.

[morethan084]

"I didn't think it was that big of a deal?" It never was.

Daisy took the cleaned glasses from her and put them back where they belonged.

"Oh, uh, I won't actually before here on my birthday. ...I probably should have told you that."

6/30

[puppydoctor]

George stops by after a rough shift, smelling a bit like antiseptic and looking a bit like hell. There's a tired smile on his face, though, and a small bag in one hand. He and Daisy may not be close friends, but he feels slightly indebted to her after she helped with his little power problem. And besides - you can't fall into a bush with someone's drunk, teenage self and then never talk again. That would just be admitting that things are awkward.

"Hey." He gives a little wave as he approaches the bar. "How's it going?"

Master of words.

[morethan084]

Daisy's eyes lit up when she saw George approach her.

"Hey! Haven't seen you around here before." She's not going to mention that he looks exhausted though, and for a second she wondered why he was here until she noticed the bag in his hand. She's not going to mention it though, it's still weird for her to think people actually care enough.

"I'm great. Haven't had to deal with any drunks so far tonight." Like he had to with her...

"What can I get you?"

[puppydoctor]

"Oh. Just a scotch, on the rocks."

He sits down, visibly relieved to be off his feet, and slides the little bag across to her. When she chooses to open it, she'll find a small leather book, detailing the one hundred best bars on the American East Coast, and which drink to order at each. Tucked in the front page is a pressed daisy.

[morethan084]

"I can do that." How anyone could drink that stuff was beyond her, but it wasn't her place to say. Setting the glass out in front of him with ice, Daisy poured some scotch into it before her eyes fell onto the bag.

"George. You didn't have to do that." He's not the first person to surprise her today, but that didn't make it any less surprising.

[puppydoctor]

"I wanted to." His smile is simple and honest, like the rest of him. "You gave me hope. Made me feel like less of a time bomb."

He lifts up his glass, and gestures towards her bottle - toast to his admitted corniness?

[morethan084]

While Daisy wasn't expecting to hear something like that, it was nice to hear. After all, that's all Daisy really wanted to do. Help other people.

Daisy picked up the bottle she had been sipping from and tapped it against his glass before taking a swig.

"Thanks."

[puppydoctor]

George gives a slightly impressed laugh, and takes a sip of his own drink.

"So, how've you been?" A very slightly pause. "How's Jesse?"
