After Date 2

Penn gave Trout Latimer a reassuring smile. "Well, I've heard the names of each of the girls I'm interested in from someone else. I guess it makes sense given the small number of both guys and girls." He said with a little chuckle. "At the very least it's reassuring to be making these sorts of connections. If this doesn't end up working out...well, maybe I'll give the real world another shot." He joked, though he seemed a little distracted.

"What about you Blake?" He asked Blake Carson. "Narrow your search field any today?"

"hmmm?" Blake said, trying not to fall asleep and use Parker as a pillow. He kept his eyes shut and held up a finger. "Got my one and only." He said. He peaked an eye open and looked around. "Cheesecake dudes. Thats how you win them over." He grinned before he closed his eyes again.

Alex let out a laugh and sipped at his beer. "I felt like that day one. Every girl I was super into was talked about by someone else. Now I honestly just want em to be happy."

He turned to Parker. "Dude if you want a date with someone go for it. I actually do wish I had gotten a chance to see River today honestly. She was super sweet." He laughed a little bit.

"No, because Val took it all with her." Blake grumbled, taking the blanket half offered. He Leaned over then, resting his head on Parker's shoulder. "Shaan was my number two, but I didn't get to see her. Pretty bummed about it, so if I can't, you gotta." Blake mumbled to Parker Domino. "I'll Teach ya tomorrow how to make your own cheesecake, or write up the recipe for ya." He told him.

Blake glanced up at Parker Domino. "Goodman." He chuckled. He pulled the blanket up to his chin and kicked his sneakers off so he could curl up in the fetal position. "I got that feeling about Shaan too. She seems like the type who wouldn't blink at some of the shit I've through." He yawned. He glanced focused his eyes on something on the coffee table. "What did you do to screw up?" He asked curiously.

Blake wiggled and got more comfortable. "Aaaaah that convo." He said, understanding how different lifestyles might affect the relationship. "Well, I don't think talking to her again can hurt. Shaan likes honestly, or at least she did when I talked to her and if your honest and just lay it out on the table I think you two might work it out, or at least come to the conclusion you're just not gonna work." He said.

He yawned again. "Ooh goodness." He covered part of his mouth with the blanket and blinked. Forcing his eyes open. "I dunno. If she wants to see me again, I don't think I'll turn her down, but right now? Valeria Maybel Winter has me wrapped around her finger and I don't think she knows it yet." He said with a grin. "She's freaking amazing, and the entire time in that pod my damn heart wouldn't shut up. Hell, she even had me crying!" Blake said looking up at Parker. "Do you know how long it's been since I've cried?" He said.

He gave Parker a slight nudge at his snoring comment. "Maybe..." he settled back down. "I staid up almost all night because I wanted to make each date special for the girls. Why do you think I threatened everyone within an inch of their lives to stay off my cheesecake?" He laughed. "I also got up early to make Val her breakfast burrito. But Val got the cheesecake, Cleo got sandwiches because she said she hadn't been on a picnic in ages, Spey got specific flowers delivered, and I was going to do smores for Shaan, but we didn't end up having our thing, and then River got banana bread because it's one of her favorites." He said. "And then I made sugar cookies for Production. Because I'm so sweet." He laughed. "And, if no one's ate them all already, there should still be some leftovers on top of the fridge." He said looking around Parker Domino.

"But Val's cheesecake had to be perfect. I think I restarted it twice. I dunno, I'm too tired to remember." He chuckled. "We want a lot of the same things, and she seems like someone that knows how to have fun but also be supportive. And she's a handywoman who does woodwork, which is hot as fuck." He added.

"Actuallyy... I was talking about Val that I screwed up with..." Parker awkwardly admitted, "but I think that's subject that I shouldn't really talk about right now so I don't like get choked out or anything, I'm a lover not a fighter.... I just want her to be happy with whoever she ends up with, because I really do care about her. Though I really don't wanna screw up with Shaan if she agrees to talk to me again. Maybe I should've made the list shorter... it was hard..." he rambled.

 "Are you going to cry now? Just don't get snot on this comfy scarf, it's from Cleo and I need to wear it tomorrow." Parker, just teasing. "These girls are incredible, they made me extra smiling and I just want to give them warm hugs... but I guess Blake here is the real cuddle catch," Parker said with a laugh, getting comfy. 

"Wait a second! You restarted it twice? What happened to the other ones?" 

Trout took a cookie and eyed Hugh Pennington with curiosity. "I have no idea why you think so, Penn, but hey, I'm not gonna argue." He told his new friend with a chuckle as he ate most of the cookie in one bite.

"Hey Blake Carson, these are kickass. I'm gonna need more of them after you get some sleep." He called over to the doctor, then turned back to Penn.

"This is a hell of a lot more complicated than I thought it would be, I gotta say. I kinda jumped into this on an impulse, but now that I'm here...I'm taking it like it's life or death."

"MVP right here," Parker said, gladly accepting the bottle from Percy West and taking a large gulp of the wine, holding the bottle to where Blake Carson could reach it if he wanted to. "

Dude, I don't even know which room is yours but you can't sleep in mine if you snore," Parker declared, "I still can't figure out how to outprank her. She got me pretty good today."Parker said with a laugh. He gave Blake another headscratch, "Do I need to be all party dad and drag you to bed?" 

He looked over at Trout Latimer "I mean... it's not exactly life or death but it kinda is... about life... and death with the whole till death do us part thing... Life until death?"
