Yesterday I had a friend tell me how one of her close friends has a whole bunch of succulents, and she has given each one the name of her close friends. She nurses them, takes care of them, talks to them, and if one ever starts to get sick or not grow well, she talks to the friend in question and something is almost always bothering them.
And if that isn’t one of the cutest examples of subtle green witchcraft I don’t know what is.
In which David Dobrek falls for Natalie's best friend.
I sighed as I reread my class notes that we're scribbled on the notebook paper. My professor decided to bump up the exam and I hadn't studied yet because I took a few extra shifts at the diner.
I'm startled when 'Oath' by Cher Llyod goes off signalling Natalie calling. I quickly answer hoping that this will ease my mind a bit, "hello?" I hear her whisper to someone before talking, "hey, you busy?" I run a hand through my hair and sigh, "yeah, Mr.Collens is a dick. He moved the exams to tomorrow." My best friend laughs, "and you haven't studied?" I let out a sarcastic laugh, "yeah because I have so much free time." She pauses, "how many shifts have you worked in the last week Dalilah?" I squeeze my eyes shut knowing she's gonna yell again, "6, maybe 14," I mumble making her groan. "You can't over work yourself D, you'll exhaust your body." I nod even though she can't see me, "I know Nat, I'm sorry. I just need extra money and little shifts here and there aren't cutting it anymore." The brunette on the other side of the phone sighs, "how much longer till you graduate?" I laugh lightly knowing why she's asked, "two more months then I'll come visit." She scoffed, "visit? Bitch you know you'll be moving in." I laugh knowing it's true. Her boss, David, had said it would be cool if I stayed for a while to get on my feet. I'm getting my jornalism degree and Nat did research and in LA they have some really good jobs available for jornalism. "Yeah, yeah. Look I love you but if I want to pass this exam I gotta study." She sighed dramatically, "fine but we'll talk later. Love ya." "Love you too Nattybug."
I edited together all the clips of Dylan singing Frozen. Watch till the end.
You’re welcome.
I want a home mostly just to welcome people into it. There will be bowls of candy for guests, and the cookie jar is full. I’ll always say “I was just about to make a coffee/tea/cocoa, would you like one?” when somebody walks in. There’s lemonade and iced tea made fresh on hot days. Once it hits That Hour and they start saying they really should be going, I’ll remind them that the futon is always open, and I’m making cinnamon rolls tomorrow. There’s champagne and sparkling juice hidden on a high shelf just in case somebody announces their engagement or their pregnancy or their new job while they’re here. There is an extra chair in the living room, at the table, and on the deck, and it’s for you. I want to be able to say “if you’re ever in trouble, come to me.”
Younger version of Jughead and Archie has me in tears😂😭😂
This was originally going to be a lot longer, but I ran out of steam! I have some thoughts to continue it later if I feel up to it!

. . .
David was editing.
Correction David had been editing for about seven hours.
And when David edits he ignores the entire world. If he can he'll just sit alone in his room with the door locked but most of the time he just tuned out all his friends.
This was one of the times that David sat on the couch with noise cancelling headphones as his friends did whatever as long as they didn't bother him.
Y/n glanced at him and pouted returning her attention back to the group.
"I'm just saying that I don't understand." Zane shrugged.
"I'm not asking you to understand, I'm asking you to respect it." Jeff said.
"It's an abomination."
"Zane that was harsh-"
"No it's not." The two glared at eachother before y/n joined in.
"I'm with Zane, pineapple does not belong on pizza end of story."
"Thank you!"
"Um you're wrong." Jeff and Zane went back to arguing. Y/n rolled her eyes taking a seat next to David. She leaned her head on his shoulder and watched as he continued to click away at the screen.
"Hey." Y/n kissed his cheek but David didn't spare her a glance.
"Hey."
"Do you wanna watch a movie later?" David nodded.
"Really?"
"Oh yeah that sounds great babe." Y/n sighed.
"You're not listening to me are you?"
"Mhm what else happened?" Y/n groaned.
"I'm leaving the country. Jason and I are eloping I hope you'll understand."
"That's great."
"If you can give me a nongeneric answer right now I'll buy that expensive dress you loved so much."
"I'm sure." Y/n rolled her eyes grabbing one aide of the headphones and letting it slap back to his face.
"Ow!"
"Oh so you're paying attention to me now?" David offered a nervous smile embarrassed about being caught.
"You look really pretty?"
"Sure." David frowned glancing at his computer then back at y/n.
"I'm sorry I have to finish this. We can talk all you want later." Y/n sighed.
"Dave its not about that its about you needing to rest. I feel like I'm basically your mother at this point which concerns me because I'm not responsible at all." David laughed leaning in and pecking her lips.
"I'll be done soon, I promise." She gave him a quick kiss.
"Okay."
Now since then three hours had passed and he still hadn't moved from his dent in the couch.
"You know, I really miss David." Y/n dramatically said looking at David with puppy eyes.
"I miss him too, what happened was such a tragedy." Zane shook his head and patted y/n's back.
"I still can't believe he died from an alligator attack. We live in California! Only David would think a bit with an alligator was a good idea."
"In the alligator's defense, everything was fine until he pointed a laser pointer info it's eye."
"What a way to go out." David groaned moving one the head phone sides to rest on his head.
"Stop pretending I'm dead. I just said I didn't want to cuddle right now because I'm editing." Y/n faked a sob wiping away a fake tear.
"Sometimes I can still hear his voice."
"Telling you that he just needs to edit a little more then never getting off of that ugly couch?" Y/n faked a sniffle.
"Exactly."
"It's not ugly!" He defended and y/n fake gasped.
"Wait did you hear something?" Y/n looked around the room.
"I fucking hate you." Y/n's head snapped into David's direction and her jaw dropped.
"David, is that you?!"
"Shut up."
"I can't believe my love has returned!" David's annoyance turned into a soft expression. The room went quiet but everyone had excited smiles.
"You're what?" Y/n stopped confused.
"What do you mean my what?"
"I'm you're what?" Y/n scoffed in confusion.
"You're my lo-" y/n froze. The roomed awed as y/n stood horrified.
"I- David I'm sorry-" David got off the couch completely forgetting about the laptop and headphones to embrace her.
Y/n wrapped her arms around him grinning until he pulled back and kissed her passionately. When he pulled away he had a giant smile on his face.
"I can't believe you got to say it first! Not fair." Y/n laughed.
"I'll take that as an I love you too." David kissed her again
"Of course I love you."
"If I knew this is what if took for you to get off the couch I would've said it hours ago." David rolled his eyes.
"Is now the time for jokes?"
"It's always the time for jokes when I'm around, that's why you fell in love me."
