Valeria came tearing through the house after her proposal, tears still on her makeupless face. She knew she just met this girl, but she already considered Shaan one of her best friends, especially after all their drunken bonding last night. "Shaan! Shaan where are you? I need help!" she yelled as she ran through the house throwing stuff in her suitcase, and grabbing a small makeup bag out of her duffle bag. She pounded on Shaan's door hoping she was in there. " Shaan he proposed and he's gonna see me and I-" she huffed as she tried to catch her breath. "I just wanna look really pretty for him and I have no clue how and ohmygodIneedyourhelp" she said breathlessly. Shaan Vladislav |

Shaan almost jumped out of her skin as Val came running and knocking on her door as she opened it fast. She was stunned for a moment, there was an excited yell and then a moment of silence. "Val.. VAL..." She said a little volume to her voice. Her eyes were read and puffy and she had a bottle of for once not vodka, but a bottle of Gin. "Ok we planned for this! Stay Calm!" She said as she ran to grab her makeup bags, tossing them onto her bed. Her room was torn apart clothes all over the place.
"SIT WE GOT WORK TO DO." She shouted happily and then it hit her. Val was her best friend. She silently held up her hand, taking a deep breath. "He's gonna ask.. I.. I made my choice.. I feel like so shitty but I did it.. I just like..I did it.. He's gonna like ask ask tomorrow."

Val stopped and cocked her head when she saw Shaan. "Dudeeee are you ok? What the hell happened in here?" she asked as she obediently sat down, tossing the makeup bag on the bed. "Yeah so I bought makeup but hell if I know how to use this stuff. Do I just like put it on my face or...?" She cut herself off.
"Nevermind, like what the fuck happened? Who asked?" she asked, dying to know this latest development. "You gotta tell me and like hand me a shot because I think I need a shot... HOLY FUCK IM GOING TO SEE HIM IN LIKE 2 HOURS!"

"Ok when did you last like bathe.. Nevermind who cares I gotta do this. Ok so what we wanna do is.. well you can do this two ways where you do your eyes first then face or face then eyes.. how much makeup and I about to need." She grabbed up the bag looking in it and already thinking.
She did stop for a moment, a guilty look crossing her face. "Parker..I...We kinda had a moment where I think...we both almost broke up with eachother...and then it just.. happened?" She exhaled for a moment and just straight offered Val the bottle of Gin. "Take a drink. We need this. Im so fucking excited for you Val. So so so excited."

"Last bathe? Ummm this morning?" Valeria reported, "Hell if I know how to do this thing, just... help me be pretty because I wanna impress him so much that I might cry if I think about it too hard, and like... maybe cryproof. Is that even a thing? I mean I still wanna look like me but... just feel really pretty... like a fairytale..." Valeria said.
Then she cocked her head, "Hold up, I'm really fucking confused. Shaan, do you know how crazy you sound? I mean I sound crazy as fuck too and I probably almost did the same thing because Parker is fucking Parker but woahhh man." She exclaimed and took a moment to knock that shot back. "but so like you go to see this man to break up with him except he's also about to break up with you and like what? I need some deets!" she squealed that last bit. "I mean I'm fucking happy for you but damn do I need this story!"

"Ok thats perfect. So we want a foundation with some light highlighter.. some waterproof mascara...eyeliner or no? and some light....mayybe.. gold dust looking eyeshadow? We'll follow this up with some setting spray.. Youre gonna look so fucking beautiful dude I'm gonna steal you from Blake." She laughed happily as she sat up the makeup.
"Ok so I asked him on a date.. It was going so good and then he said he's in love with you and then the whole thing about him almost getting married and how he's always so positive I.. I was about to leave.. I just felt like I was gonna be second place.. and that kinda set him off how I went about and he thought I was there out of pity and he was like about to leave and so was I and then we just... boom.. He's working his off now on his proposal.." She said the entire thing in a long exhale.

"I don't know man, Blake keeps threatening to caveman Parker but I don't know if he means that in a caveman from Val way or a brokeback mountain way sometimes," Valeria said with a crazed giggle as she listened to the rest of Shaan's story. "No. Fucking. Way. Seriously?!" Valeria exhaled.
"Damn girl, you had to go catch him or something? What is this? A soap opera or Bachelor finale? Not that I've actually ever seen a Bachelor finale but still. Holy fuck, I would've never seen it coming. After last night I thought you were going the poor dude's heart but hey, I fucking love Parker and I fucking love you. I mean shit girl, two of my favorite people are getting married."
"Oh and so like the only other girl friend I have is Lucy one of my assistant brewers. I like just met you but you're so fucking rad. Will you be my bridesmaid?" Valeria asked, with a big grin on her face.

"Dont worry, Blake will have no more completion because... I'm gonna try to sleep with Parker when we get the Resort.. Like I want to and it just sorta feels right. Plus the man said he loved me and I think he actually was crying.. Though don't get me wrong.. I totally think our husbands are gonna elope without us." She laughed as she loaded up the foundation and tapped the sponge to Vals face gently. "Im gonna make you look so good Blakes gonna have to be forced to keep his hands off you."
"I told him I wanted him.. Him and all his broken and bad.. and he wants my messy and insecure. I'm excited.. Im not so excited about telling Trout.. That's gonna suck but I refuse to be sad till it's literally happening. We can atleast all hang out together."
"No fair I was gonna ask you! Ok so yes..Val I literally do not have any others friends that I feel like would understand this.. like.. would you be my maid of honor. No planning required I just wanna like put the Maid of honor crown on ya."

Val laughed again, "Oh fuck I don't know if it's the alcohol or if I'm just that bad at girly shit. I forgot about the whole maid of honor thing," she said. "I'll be your maid of honor if you be mine, dealio? You know what's funny? I think Blake mentioned Parker being his best man. I kinda felt really guilty about it but now that I know he's got you to peel the duct tape off that heart, I'm glad."
"And if our husbands run away with each other or need some alone time at the resort, we can just hole up in a room and get drunk and plot how to hunt them down," Valeria declared. "Oh shit, you haven't told Trout yet? Got a game plan for that? Got enough alcohol for that?"

"Deal! I'm glad I did this.. this whole show. I found a best friend and a man in like one take..I found a lot here already and I'm like excited for the rest of it. It would be awesome and Blake and Parks can still be friends. Like I know he was kinda worried and I'm sure Blake was pretty nervous. I totally get it.. Like I felt it." She laughed as she kept working on Vals face, stopping every now and again to make sure the foundation was even and dusting some spots with powder and others with highlight.
"So a lot of alcohol and tissues.. I dont know how I'm gonna tell him..I just know he needs to hear it.. He needs to hear it isnt anything against him and I love him.. I just.. Theres something with Parker I cant refuse and I want to see where it goes.. It's gonna fucking suck isnt it?" She sighed softly

"I mean this whole thing is insane right? I mean it's been what? Four days and here we are. Like I feel like I've known you forever, I feel like I've known both Blake and Parker forever," Valeria said. "But seriously, I know how hard it is, I had to do the same thing to Parker. It was some tough shit man and I wish I could be here to pour you a shot when you're done, but hey soon we'll be toasting with some rocks on our finger... if Blake even gets me a rock. I have... a ring pop and we talked about tattoos since we both can't wear rings to work..." Valeria said, with a dopey smile coming across her face every time she mentioned Blake.
"Fuck i should probs sober up for this shouldn't I?"

She was already working on the eyes when she pulled out the mascara, she was ready for this. "Just hold your eyes open...now blink...blink...blink..annnd ya got lashes." She chuckled softly. "I feel it.. I just.. It's been four days.. I kinda am worried I rushed into this? I dunno theres something there with Parker, hell I said told him to proceed with an awesome proposal.. I just dunno if I made an emotional choice.. tensions got pretty high." She shrugged lightly. "Im excited. Im excited to go to this resort with you and toast with you and Blakey boy and I dunno.. get like a couples massage session or something." She grinned as she got up from the bed, going to her table and picking up both an orange gatorade and water.
"This aint my first rodeo.. Want me to see if they can get us some... I dunno general food?" She grinned as she sat back down on the bed, putting a hand on vals knee. "Blake would be screaming like a girl seeing you drunk or sober, you're gonna knock em dead."

Valeria blinked on command. "But you love him right? And he's totally your person, right?" she asked, just a little worried for her friend, both her friends. "Got any ideas of how Parker's going to do it? I just have a feeling that Parker is going to do something so crazy that no one will see it coming," she said with a laugh, knowing it could very well be her getting proposed to by Parker.
Val shook her head, "I'm lowkey so nervous I think I might puke if I ate something," she squeaked, but started chugging the gatorade. "I'm going to think he's hot no matter what but I'm trying to picture him... he's taller than me... curly hair... he did mention he's got wrist tattoos though I can't begin to guess what. Mentioned something about a scar, didn't say where though... I hope he thinks I'm pretty..."
"I'm really curious about what Parker looks like too... Is it bad I'm actually getting a little scared... that I might find Parker more attractive than Blake... like physically? Parker and I had so much physical chemistry... but when it came to real life, Blake is absolutley the one for me. I have no doubts about that." Valeria said, more of a nervous babble than anything else.

Shaan stopped for a moment, really thinking. "Yes..I..I do love him..I.." She sighed and laid back on her bed tossing her hands up and groaning. "Coming down off all the emotions and everything... I.. I kinda feel like I might have rushed into something with my mouth before my brain or heart was there? Like I do love him, do not get me wrong there..but there was still something with Trout and...I.. I cant really deny that? I dunno...I'm swearing you to secrecy from him on this one." She said and sighed.
"You deserve a fucking Adonis of a man, like he's gonna be hot, he's a sexy doctor who can cook, like you hit the jackpot..Parkers and I's kids are gonna fucking starve." She said with a laugh.
"Can I be real.. It scares me..My biggest reserve about Parker is that he's still in love with you and I.. I honestly fully believe I was kinda the second choice there? Like everything Parks said about every girl who dumped him called him their number two.. I feel that now.. Like you're my best friend and this isn't a you thing..I just..I dunno.. He seems so sincere and I want him to be.. but I dunno."

"Girlfriend I know that split in two feeling as well as you do, except I chose the other guy..." Val said slowly. "I gotchu on secrets, but I think if anyone's going to understand that feeling and be ok with it, it's going to be somewhere here, like Parker or Blake. I mean... I straight up told Blake that I kinda still have feelings for Parker, but also I told him not to worry about it because I just love him so much and yeah I'm scared that it might not be enough, but dear god I don't know what I'd do if I lost Blake." The thought of not being with Blake was scary enough that Val pushed that out of her mind pretty quickly.
"The way things ended with me and Parker... I don't think there was a second place... I just don't think he does second choices. I think he'll go in deep with someone he cares about because he's got a lot of love to give." Valeria said pretty assured of herself. "That maze was like a lifetime in a void, we fell in love, had a first dance, and got divorced in like an hour," she added with a laugh at the little inside joke she had with Parker. "But I'm telling you, you have nothing to worry about from me with Parker. Just the thought of cheating on Blake and hurting him that way... I can't even imagine it."

"I just.. I dunno I don't want him to find this out and think he was a second choice because he wasn't.. He honestly was my first pick day one.. and I just.. I dunno.. I have my doubts.. I just kinda..I dunno.. I feel like I'm gonna lose Trout..and I dont wanna lose Parker..I care about him I just can't get out of my own head.." She sighed a little bit as she sat up. "..Trout actually was pushing for me to go to Therapy.. he wanted to actually help me..and I feel like I could have grown with him..Parks just.. pushed that off like it wasnt.. something that was gonna ACTUALLY come to play in us.." She spoke slowly, trying to keep her breathing calm as she was thinking things out. "..I..also want to settle down...I dont..think that's his style.. I dont wanna chain him down I want him to travel..I..want to in theory..but not forever."
She sighed as she ran her hands through her hair and looked up at Val. "It just sucks to think him and I kissed and I walked out of that maze so sure that him and I had something..then to honestly know him and you kissed and like had all that.. It sucks.. It needed to happen for you guys though and I'm totally not worried about you...Im worried about him..." She shook her head and hopped up from the bed, taking a long drink of Gin and shrugging.
"Fuck Parker. You're about to go see Blake and you're about to give him a fucking heart attack because you're beautiful."

"If it makes you feel any better, I kiss him first," Valeria said. "I just... I just had to know if there were any real sparks ya know. I admit they were... but they just felt different and the sparks I want are the sparks with Blake. I think that time that Parker and I had was just... outside of everything. That's how I always felt with Parker. Like I'd never stop thinking about Blake and then Parker is just there and the whole world melts away. It's like a superpower he has or something."
Valeria thought for a moment, "I asked him that, if he'd want to settle down. I don't think he was lying when he said he'd give it up, at least not to me. I just don't know if him wanting to do it is enough for him. He's just really caring like that I guess..." she said with a lost shrug. "I mean... I haven't told Blake I kissed Parker yet... I will eventually I swear. I just don't want to add any more stress to all the crazy, am I wrong for that? I mean he said he has a rough past and that doesn't matter to me so why should mine matter to him?"
"I think I'm the one that's going to get a heart attack when I see him," Valeria said with a laugh. "I don't know what to do with my hands or anything in that situation. I don't think I've ever been so excited to see anyone before."

She shrugged a little bit and sighed softly. "I dunno..I don't think you're wrong for not telling Blake.. I mean you need to eventually but I think he would understand especially if it was what helped like... Solidify your relationship..Parker is something special I cant deny that..I just wonder if he's genuine all the time?" She let out another shrug and took another drink. She was gonna need it.
"I don't doubt he would but I dont want him to give up a dream for me.. It would feel wrong..Like if he didn't want me to be a cop I'd kinda be upset..so I wouldnt wanna take his dream away either." She let out a small sigh and shook her head. "I love him, like hell I do.. I just worry that we may not really be as perfect for eachother as we want to think"
"He's just a man, your man.. Just grab him and kiss his face.. Im excited to see Parker I guess? I just.. I dunno I hope that physical spark is still there."

"We literally talked like we were getting married since like the second date. It was so crazy," Valeria confessed, her face turning pink under the makeup. "I mean like we were just daydreaming and suddenly it was like we were planning how to be parents and living together... Like oh god I said I love you to a guy I had literally talked to for not even two hours on the second date!" Valeria said, laughing at how crazy that idea is.
"I mean... that's why we still have like... this vacation and like three weeks right? To be out in the real world and really see..." Valeria said. "Though in my mind, Blake is already my hubs and I'm lowkey ready to make some babies as soon as he lets me."

She smiled as she watched Val talk, she brought her knees up to her chest and rested her head there. "God I want what you guys have... Like that certainty.. It sounds so fucking magical.. Like I dunno.. the more I've sat and like soaked it up..the idea of kids isn't a horrible one to me..Like I kinda want a little house with a kid and some pets..I wanna be so damn sure about someone that its like a dream... Uggggh you guys are so perfect together." She said with a grin and laugh, she was honestly happy for her friend.
"I guess you're right.. I mean like what if he isn't that into me? I dunno I guess I just need time to get used to the idea that Parks and I are it.. like I wanna give it my all." She nodded slowly. "Parks totally isnt ready for kids yet.. I dunno how I feel about em still.. like part of me wants to have em younger so that when they're grown up we aren't too old to wanna do stuff.. but then again that feels a lot like a leash to him."
