[Deleted]

𝔠𝔩𝔢𝔬 So I didn't dream this, right? I actually have Percy de Vane's contact details?

[percy de vane]

PERCY Hi Cleo. You’re not dreaming. How was favorite waitress’ Christmas?

[Deleted]

𝔠𝔩𝔢𝔬 !!!!! Bleak, thanks. Couldn't get home to family and my roomie abandoned me, but I guess I should be thankful that everyone's okay. How about yours? Where are you?

[percy de vane]

PERCY You are stroking my ego over here! Just an FYI. Did you have to spend it alone then? I’m glad you’re staying healthy and likewise with others. I had a couple of mates over. They cooked and brought it over to mine. I’m back in New York! I came back a month or two ago. After I took care of business in London and LA.

𝔠𝔩𝔢𝔬 Oh please, I bet you get this reaction all the time. Mostly, I stopped by my neighbor's for a bit. Aww, they sound like good friends. Nooo, come back to LA, we miss you!

[percy de vane]

PERCY You can't blame a guy for still liking the attention though. Good so you weren't completely alone. I would've hated to hear that. They are great friends, just got married and they know I'm not the best at cooking. I provided the booze and desserts. I miss LA terribly. I'll be back soon. Felt I needed to stay grounded for a little bit you know?

[Deleted]

𝔠𝔩𝔢𝔬 I would have thought you'd be used to it by now? Omg, me neither! Can't boil an egg, everyone makes fun of me for it. What desserts did you go for, trifle? Christmas pudding? That's fair, I'm thinking of going home for a while.

[percy de vane]

PERCY I’m used to it. But can you blame me for liking when a gorgeous girl like yourself compliments me? I’m trying to learn! Figured I need to do that during this pandemic and not just order take out. I had some apple pie and then some cookies? The cookies I attempted to bake..it was rough but they turned out ok I think? Where is home for you again?

[Deleted]

𝔠𝔩𝔢𝔬 Now I know how you landed all those super hot girls! Well, if you manage maybe you can teach me sometime. Not very British of you, you wasted my Googling. Oh really? Didn't burn them to a crisp? I'm an army brat so I moved round! I was actually born in Cali but I've spent most of my life in Alaska.

[percy de vane]

PERCY What because I am a bit of a charmer?! When I come to LA, let’s take a teaching class together. This is probably very terrible of me but I prefer American desserts over English ones. They’re good but American ones are better! I didn’t burn them. I’m so shocked myself. Is Alaska gorgeous? I mean I know it is but I want local opinions. It’s on my list to visit.

[Deleted]

𝔠𝔩𝔢𝔬 Mhmm. Those looks, that talk, who could resist? Are you serious? I would love that!! I can't say I blame you tbh, cookies are god tier. Oh it's so beautiful, nature like you've never seen in your life. I'll play tour guide.

[percy de vane]

PERCY Some do resist! It takes the ego down for sure haha. Let’s make a plan of it! You find the place you wanna to and I’ll book it for us. All on me. Would you really play tour guide for me? Because I am very serious.

[Deleted]

𝔠𝔩𝔢𝔬 They're just playing hard to get! Nooo I can't let you do that! I'll find it and book it myself. Stop it, I'm pinching myself. I cannot even begin to imagine what the people I grew up with would say if I brought you around Anchorage.

[percy de vane]

PERCY You know how many fans that have it in their head that if they act like they don’t know me, play hard to get that I will fall madly in love with them. It’s like a fanfiction or something. One of my friends filled me in! Yes you can let me book it. It was my idea! You would be the talk of the town. What’s your favorite thing about Anchorage?

[Deleted]

𝔠𝔩𝔢𝔬 Hahaha, I can believe that! I bet they imagine that you'll see them from across the room, and you'll ask them to pose for you. Then they'll be all, 'omg, ew, who even are you?' and you'll be all, wow, she doesn't even recognize me, finally I've found the one... I used to spend a lot of time on tumblr, in case you couldn't tell. Ok, but I'm buying drinks after. Honestly, you have no idea! The mountains are so beautiful, nothing like the hills here. What do you miss most about home?
