CELESTE LOOKED DOWN AT HER COFFEE as bea sat across from her in the empty Starbucks. Beatrice scooted herself in the booth, placing her purse next to her taking her coat off.
"Hey"She sighed as she continued to settle herself down.
"Hey.."Celeste replied
"What's up?" Bea asked
"I need to ask you for a favor, I mean- I came to you because I trust you enough to not gossip or- judge me I mean not that I meant you do gossip I just-"
"What's wrong?"Bea exclaimed cutting off Celeste as she babbled grabbing the back of her neck.
"Aaron kicked me out last week, I've been in my car for a while..but-last night this fucking rapist wanna be tried breaking in my car.."
"I was hoping I could crash at your place till I get paid?" She whispered softly.
Bea looked upset and felt sympathetic for her, she took her hand in hers.
"Of course and I'm so sorry, you should've told me sooner.. but of course yeah- it's just me but I uhm I'll get you a key later today whenever I catch my break"Bea released as she let Celeste's hand go.
"I really do appreciate you more than you think, I know we're not close like that in general so it's a burden on you but-"
"No, I- I promise it's okay, whatever I can do to help out just let me know...I've got a spare room most of my shit is in there but if you clean it out and make yourself comfortable in there it's yours..but I did just get that couch 3 months ago and it's perfect!"Bea exclaimed. She smiled and Quietly clapped her hands together, celeste smiled.
"That's great thank you"Celeste smiled.
"Yea no problem, but how'd this happen- did you guys get into an argument?"Bea asked
"He, was drunk and he put his hands on me I thought it was just him fooling around- but he was just getting more aggressive and out of control. I would lock the door to our room, until he jammed it down making it harder for me to sleep at night.. ya know I couldn't lock him out his own house- I feel like a fucking idiot for taking everything for granted..I told myself when I moved in with him he was the one..I mean maybe he can still be with the right help, but this definitely is making me re think my decision on our wedding" she spoke softly looking down at her ring fiddling with it.
"Hey, you have more than a reason to re think this over and it's not gonna be easy..so think about if you really wanna do this ask yourself if this is a decision you wanna make or not"Bea suggested.
"Yea, he's got so many green flags but this is just a huge...difference" Celeste confessed
"Right" Bea sighed as Celeste looked back down Bea took a glance outside realizing it was 7:45 pm and if she had quite a few things to move it'd be better to get it done now.
"You should stay tonight instead of tomorrow, it's getting late and I don't wanna move stuff in the dark?"Bea admitted as Celeste nodded.
"Thanks again"she smiled as they started getting ready to leave the warm coffee shop and head back to the cold frosted city.
The coffee shop had only been a good 15 minutes away from Beatrice's place, but Celeste determined to make a stop at her storage unit a little across town leaving Bea doing the dishes and deep cleaning her apartment to prepare her space for Celeste.
Bea picked up the used knife that Carmen had left two days ago, after he insisted on having her "taste test" a few things which were.
Fruit drinks,sea food, and a few more breakfast options.
__two days ago__
"Just tell me if you like it or not, or if it needs something else"He insisted as she nodded still chewing, he made his way behind her wrapping his arms around her placing his head in the crook of her neck.
She didn't say anything as she continued eating the food but not expressing how it tasted. He stood there waiting for her to make a certain face or verbally reveal her response.
She nodded again purposely irritating him and testing his patience, She kept digging in the plate for another bite.
"Are you not gonna say anything?"he asked pulling away
"...is it that shitty?" He questioned throwing his arms up.
"No It's not shitty but..." she assured smiling covering her mouth
"B"He sighed.
"It's good, everything you make is good. I just like fucking with you.."She directed
"You know how serious I am about all of this.." Carmen claimed placing his fingers on his temples. She boosted herself up a little as he took a second to get back in his train of thought.
"Well stop being so serious, atleast around me..I don't like serious"she whispered placing her lips against his ear as she sat back down on the island counter stool, she continued stuffing her face as he walked away taking off her apron which was a yellow detailed apron with detailed breasts on the chest area and small white daisies for nipples. The rest of the apron had other feminine features printed out on it, while he had it on it gave Bea something to laugh at.
He folded her apron putting it back on top of her refrigerator, making her way back towards her.
She placed the fork up to her mouth again as he wrapped his arms around her waist from the back aggressively kissing her neck, she dropped her fork immediately tilting her neck going for her stomach as he childishly tickled her. She giggled and grabbed for his hands, as he admired her irritation.

Bea stopped zoning out at the knife and continued scrubbing it as she realized she actually did miss Carmens presence, atleast right now she did. The last time she talked to him was this morning when he said "Hey,how's everything" after not speaking with her yesterday...at all, she was curious on what he was up to but didn't wanna be weird so she gave him space hoping he'd come by again like he did last week at her job with the pink tulips.
