Quoth The Raven: "Nevermore"


Tyrese combed his fingers through his hair, moving his glass a few inches away from the critter she clung to, "Well hunny bun, it looks like you've caught a vole. It's head is a little rounder than you'd see on a mouse. It's actually related to moles more than it is to mice. I hope he wasn't in my garden, he'll have to move out." He then got to his feet and patted the top of her head, walking to the door and pulling it open. "Can you what? He asked, glancing as the tiny bluenette before peeking in as he heard the door close. He thought he heard Juliana, but hadn't been in a mood to check. Tomorrow he'd call the sitter Lillian used and then he'd go out, the paperwork for his building would be drawn up then and he could have the keys and ownership turned over. That is, if the inspector called and gave him the thumbs up before then.

There would be a lot of work to do and Ty wanted to be hands on with whomever he hired. And for heaven's sake he needed to settle on a name so he could have a sign or banner made. At this point, he'd better call Bree and ask what to expect, and Aaron so he could get the number of a contractor he'd approve of and trust. He'd have to balance all that with writing his books. And on that thought, he wasn't sure he should leave Sela with a sitter that much. She couldn't exactly be around any construction in the building. Something would have to be figured out. Stroking his chin, he let Sela toddle along as he strolled into the kitchen and picked up the letter left to him. Without opening it in front of Sela, Ty tucked it in his back pocket and became to pull out things for breakfast. Just this once Sela could have the animal in the house, he wasn't in a mood to make a fuss.

Love is not an Emotion
It is a Constant State of Mind

Hakem yawned into the crook of his arm, detecting the scent of cooked food as he watched the red head in the door. It had closed a little after he arrived, and he laid back on the step he'd chosen to wait for it to open again. The meeting was more of less brief, perhaps because of the tone his finance was using. Hakem shook his head and chuckled to himself. Well, what was the girl here for that made Tori cut the bull? She sounded rather sweet and young from what he heard. Again the male yawned, hearing Tyrese and Sela come in from the backyard. So that's where they were, but altogether now in one room. "Well good morning everyone. Pleasant way to start things off, hm?" And by pleasant he meant he was two minutes from going back to bed, with or without coffee.

Love is not an Emotion

Hakem sat up, using the rails as support, and wrinkled his nose as Victoria kicked the door closed behind herself. He perked up a little as she looked at him, smirking as she upturned her nose and shuffled into the kitchen. He was starting to have cravings for his caffeine anyway, and soon enough he'd get a headache if he didn't get up and brew something. He may as well follow along and bond with his family. The wolf got up but quickly jumped out of the way for the toddler sprinting by, rubbing the back of his neck and looking after her. "Cute kid." Obviously he plain didn't like anyone below the age of fifteen and not in high school. He didn't like having demanding, defenseless, emotionally inept people around him, and that's exactly what children were along with being frail. You couldn't tell them to cut the sh*t, they were made of it; having meltdowns because they couldn't handle being told no, it pissed him off. Not that he automatically disliked Sela, he was just wary of her.

He was going to try introducing himself, but she was off to do....something, whatever his nephew just told her about the pest she brought inside. He was stopped again in the door way by the look Tori tossed his way. He eased on a smile and leaned on the counter next to her, pecking a kiss onto her lips before peeling the cover off the pot and taking a whiff. "What a nice girl." He perked a brow, much like his finance just did, and looked at Tyrese. But enough teasing, he opened his palm where'd he'd kept his coffee grounds this whole time, and went looking for the brewer. "Maybe we should go out to dinner, get out of this house a little and see the town." If Ty didn't go he and Tori still should go.

Quoth The Raven: "Nevermore"


Go out and drink, she says. Tyrese looked up from his phone, hesitating before looking down again. He would, but...No. "I have a friend who owns a local bar. I'll give her a heads up and perhaps we can drop by." He was uncertain after three days without a word from either friend whether he'd been cut off or not, but he realized after some thought that such a thing may not be true. They were probably working on their marriage, there was more than enough to be resolved. It caused that horrible, ugly emotion to rear it's head and Ty shuttered to himself, a soft blush meeting his face. He'd hoped that issue was only a mistake belonging to that one night, that he really didn't intend to betray his best friend in the worst way possible. Dreams about his best friend's wife?

Tyrese sighed, dropping his head into one hand while the other found Aubrey's number. His heart was fluttering and he had butterflies, all of which didn't help the situation. These confused feelings should have stayed in that misplaced kiss. He flushed a little more as "Hey." and nothing more blinked back at him from his screen, pitching the bridge of his nose. Cut it out! Bloody hell Tyrese, are you in high school again or something?! Aubrey said he always had 'this,' the Teagan' family, meaning her and her husband. Finn Teagan, think about him. As long as he never came to Ty's door and confronted him over what happened with Aubrey, then he knew she was still giving him 'this.' At which point, it was all he had out in this town. Finn was his brother in spirit, he wouldn't betray that.

"Hey. I have family in town who want to hit a bar tonight. Think we can see you down @ your place?" Ty typed and sent, putting the phone down afterwards. He wasn't sure how he should act around her, but his attempt was going to be at acting normal. The wolf picked up his phone again, sending her a picture of the beach side inn he'd looked at two days ago. He then text: "I bought it." And sighed as he climbed off his stool. Just then, his toddler shuffled over to him with a shoe box....one belonging to a designer pair. "W-...Where did you put the....Never mind, good job sweetie." He hummed, turning to his vase and taking the vole out. He carefully dumped it inside and patted her head.

"Put your buddy somewhere so we can wash our hands and have lunch, alright? Then daddy made dessert too." He smiled, leaning down and kissing the top of her head. He adored his daughter of course, even despite the times he felt frustrated being a parent. Hearing himself be called and calling himself daddy still made his heart skip a beat. If only....Ty turned off the stove and put on oven gloves, removing the strawberry cobblers from the source of heat and laying them on the stove to cool. "You guys help yourselves, there's ice cream in the freezer too." He added, putting away the mitts and washing his hands before fixing Sela a bowel of soup. He sat it at the table, adding a glass of milk beside it.
