Royal Musings

So, it only took more than six months but I finally managed to get ONE closet cleaned and sorted through. I took all the clothing and shoes and accessories that I stopped wearing and were just laying around collecting dust to the shelter that I had brought other items to in the past (Dom, do you remember that?). I also took Jordan's as well since she's been a bit busy with her mates and her wedding coming up. The people at the place were very welcoming and grateful to have the donations and I'm just happy that they can go to people who need them and want them.

I've started thinking about it lately, more often than not, that I want to start helping out charities and people who help kids - especially kids from homes that were like Jordan, Jason, Scott and my homes as we were growing up. We were lucky to have Don and Ricky and the rest of the guys around to make sure we were becoming the men and women we could be. Most kids however, don't have the same privilege that we had and I want to help out as much as I can. I know I don't have the time to really devote to it but I hope that by using the means that I have available in my disposal, I can at least help in some way - mostly anonymously.

This is just a small update to let everyone know that yes, we are still alive and kicking (and screaming and pulling hair in some cases), and we'll be back before you know it.

Good things are to come in the future.

Piper watched the guys play basketball at the court and grinned. It was nice when they had times like these. They were back in the states for a little while which meant races on the weekends and hanging out with friends as much as they could. While she loved traveling - she also enjoyed being at home and being in their own bed(s). She looked around the park before relaxing on the bench, it had been a nice idea to come out and enjoy the weather.

Closed

Piper stared at the blinking cursor then blinked before she sighed reluctantly.

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Everything she had tried didn't seem to work. Music didn't work. Just typing anything that came to mind didn't work. It seemed that her muse had left her for greener pastures or at least a sandy beach with fruity drinks that had umbrellas. That sounded good actually. She shook her head from the thought and closed down the document before shutting her laptop.

It was quiet at Majestic today, least so far it was. She was sure it was only a matter of hours before the guys would start waking up and moving about. She had gotten up early to see if she could possibly write at all but after a few hours of staring at the screen, checking her email, drinking coffee, staring at the screen, going out for a jog and then staring at the screen again - she had started to realize she should have just stayed asleep.

Piper shook her head and stretched her legs out. "I shouldn't have bothered waking up so early," she muttered to herself.

Which job shall we talk about?

Being Queen of Hell?
I do that job because it's just a part of who I am. It's helped shape me to who I have become in the past couple of years. It's brought me closer to Dom and a little bit closer to Adonis (though he and I aren't likely to admit it). Plus, what girl doesn't always dream of being a princess and someday queen?

My job as a future CEO/Owner of Nano?
I've enjoyed my job as an international relations rep and consultant for the past five or more years, and slowly built a professional relationship with my boss. I'm glad that once he retires he trusts me enough to take over his company. I do it because I really honestly enjoy it...well...minus the stupid people that I come across and who don't know how to do their jobs.

I typically do my jobs because I do honestly like them - least most of the time. Yes, both of them require a lot of time, but I've started to get ahold of this time management thing.

I always did enjoy being busy...

Considering I'm not dying anytime soon, most of the people I grew up with won't be alive to say anything when/after I've passed.

But I'm sure if they were alive, some would be glad I was gone. As such they would probably say things such as, "it's about damn time" or "it was only a matter of time before she killed herself." I'm not so naive to think that everyone just adores me and loves me - I can be a handful at times after all.

Those who weren't glad would say nicer things about me, I'd hope. Things like "I'll really miss her" or "Are we sure she's not just playing around with us and actually still alive?" are sure to be said at least once or twice.

But like I said, I'm not going to be dying anytime soon so if anyone wants to say anything about me then they can tell me face to face.

Mm, let's see what would I choose as a complete dinner? That's a hard one since I have so many favorites and it changes all the time. There's days when I rather have Chinese or Mexican or Italian or a really good steak.

But if I chose one for today, I would go with Italian and in that case I would first have a salad with dressing, probably a ceaser since that is my favorite.

Then I would have Adonis' chicken fettucinni alfredo. He makes the best chicken fettucinni alfredo that I've ever tasted. Pefect chicken, great tasting pasta and wonderful sauce - it's just a great dish. I'd also have a piece of garlic bread to go with it.

Yes, that's exactly what my favorite meal is currently.

Hm, maybe I can see if he can make that tonight.

That sounds just perfect.

One of the happiest? Well there's really several but because of the lack of time and space that is needed to branch out on those happy moments, I'll choose one.

The day that Dom told me he loved me and the day that Scott told me he loved me had to be the happiest moments of my life. That's two? Well okay, technically it's two but I figured because they are the same thing only with two people, it would count as one. Can I get on with it? Right.

Although the day that Dom told me he loved me was one full of surprises and frustration, it also was a day that I could get what I've been holding in for the longest time off of my chest. I had always found him to be amazingly strong and handsome, always wanting to be with him and just talk and laugh with him but never could. He was my best friends (at the time) surrogate brother and I took that as a 'no pass' zone. After he told me he loved me though? There was no way I was going to hold back and tell him that I didn't love him especially when I didn't know when and how we would ever get back home.

The day that Scott told me he loved me was also a fantastic day. I'd known him for what seems like forever and we were as close as two could ever be. Between the late night talks, the childhood pranks, the stargazes at night something between the two of us grew and there wasn't anything stopping the love between us. It seemed only natural that we would be together on down the road and that we would only get closer.

Yeah, those or rather that was the happiest moment of my life. There is no one else I rather be with but Dom and Scott.

I am not so ashamed that i'd apologize for something that i've done, 98% of time. However, there has been one thing that I wish I had apologized for and okay, I have apologize over and over.

She know's who she is and she knows the situation. However, we've worked past it and our friendship continues to grow through the years. For that, I love her dearly for.

What it was? That is something i'll never share with another person other than those who already know and I trust they won't tell anyone either. It comes down to this: with each experience that I've had, I've learned something from it. In most cases, I don't feel bad having done what I've done and having the experiences that I've had. Course...some of them weren't the best choices but that can be said for everyone.

Happy birthday to me,
Happy birthday to me...

Happy birthday to meeeeeeeeee,
Happy birthday to me.


This time there won't be any spankings either. :P

Semi-private

It had been such a long time (alright, a month or so) since he purposely riled Piper, and still it was so easy to do. One or two misplaced comments here about her personality or style of dress and she'd spout off one or two backhanded comments about him and his issues. He had to give it to her, most of the time sometimes she was a worthy adversary and at other times, she wasn't. He wondered what her mood would be today.

For who: Adonis and Piper
Where: Adonis' house in France
When: Whenever
Summary: Piper + Adonis + Empty House + Possible Alcohol + a LOT of frustration = a lot of bantering and possible fighting.
You thought it'd be sex, didn't you? Hah, they promised themselves that'd be one time only and was on a dare the first time. This should be interesting...

Private - unless Dom/Jordan or Scott feel the need to intervene.

She woke up to a nearly empty house and by nearly she meant only one other person was in the house - Adonis.

Why she was left in a house, alone with him was beyond her. She didn't know where the others went, only that they weren't there and didn't even bother waking her them up. Yeah, she may be a little irritated at that but she supposed that it meant she could go to another house and sort through more of her closets. If there was one thing she learned it was that she had a LOT of clothing, most of which she hardly ever wore.

Piper took a sip of her coffee and watched Adonis then shook her head. "Well don't we feel special? They left without waking us up."

For who: Piper and Dom

Private

Piper wanted to go out and explore Paris some more - it wasn't every day they were there after all and she knew Dom knew more about it than she did. The others were off playing football or something and she wasn't really in the mood to play anymore so maybe Dom would want to go with her. Standing behind where he sat, she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned down, kissing his neck. "Hey baby," she murmurs into his ear with a grin.

Prompt #4: What song best describes you and why?
Prompt #9: What makes you laugh?
Prompt #13: Are you superstitious?
Prompt #18 - What was your most embarrassing moment?



In other news I say 'honestly' WAY too much.

When I was in high school, a lot of things would piss me off - my stupid sister, stupid people, slow drivers, people who thought they could mess with my family and being treated like a paper doll. Today? My patience with people has improved and I try not to get as angry as I used to be.

What makes me lose my temper, today? Those who think they can use my friends/family and get away with it. Those who try to harm/use/talk bad about/try to kill my family will have the force of hell after your ass before you know it. Maybe I'm just a little too over protective but I won't take anyone messing with my friends and letting them get away with it.

ETA: I also lose my temper when I don't know something that I know I should know and when I don't know why I feel the way that I do sometimes. It makes me feel less in control of myself and my mind and that's one thing that I can't afford to lose anytime soon. Yeah that pisses me off.

When asked that question, everyone expects the answer to be the loss of their innocence. For me, that's not it. I guess my greatest loss could be the ability to actually care whether a sister died or my actual flesh and blood family cares more about what we are than who we are. Maybe that wouldn't count considering I actually don't care that I don't have those feelings anymore after everything they have put me through but in the grand scheme of things? That would be the greatest loss - the ability to care about those who you share blood with are less important than those who don't have to care but do and love you for who you are rather than what you are to the world.

My head hurts now...

...so, I don't need any comments from the peanut gallery - that includes you Adonis.
