Her life for the next few decades, unfortunately, has been planned out. She's obligated to step up the moment her mother retires and continue to live up to the family name, but worst of all? She's also obligated to settle down and marry someone she does not love. To seal the deal of a perfect life with someone whose name has just as much weight and value as her last. And Dylan? Hasn't been making things easy. Their families have agreed that Caitlyn will propose in three months. One that would be announced and ensure her life officially changes forever. Trying to forget all the pressure, she eventually gets tipsy at a bar, flirts with the bartender, and gets rejected. And this bartender, on the last day of her job, does not like Caitlyn in the slightest. Little does she know, that this standoffish, rude, and immensely attractive bartender just got hired as the new Commis chef for the restaurant her family also owns.

"You aren't supposed to be here." the woman tells her. "Is your name on this damn bridge?" Vi bites back, not yet opening her eyes to regain focus. "I'm sorry but I really need this bridge to be alone and...if you could please leave, I'd appreciate it." the woman says, an accent so thick it might as well have clogged her throat. That's it. Vi opens her eyes and turns her head to get a good look at her. "Listen here you-" the words got caught in her throat at that moment, her initial thought and insult that sat on the tip of her tongue. Her grip on the railing unconsciously softened, unaware of how the tension had slowly started to slip away. The woman was so beautiful, Vi almost didn't want to jump. - modern au: where violet, a tired bartender, unexpectedly reunites with a former classmate the same night she was about to take her life.

Now, Vi laughs when she hears this. She laughs a lot when she's feeling things. She laughs at Loris' face when he's drunk out of his ass. She laughs when she's sad, not wanting anyone to pity her when something fucks up her life like that one time she lost Scrabble to her sister. (It's a big deal, let's be real.) She laughs when she's mad, all bold and sarcastic before throwing a deserving punch at an idiot who said the wrong words to her at the wrong time. Right now? She's clutching her arms around her stomach, hoping her laughter would convince and hide the current emotion. Caitlyn's probably scowling at her right now which makes the moment all the while seem natural. After all, she's laughing at her best friend. For a pathetic reason on her side of the coin. She's laughing because she's jealous. "Cait-" "Vi-" "You're telling me-" Vi stands up straight (haha), her fist against her lips to hide the fake, cheeky grin she could ever fucking muster. "That you're dating Maddie fucking Nolen?" - Modern AU!: where vi and cait are inseparable best friends! cait's dating the wrong girl, vi always watches from the sidelines, and they realize that maybe...just fucking maybe-they can be more. crushes, yearning, fluff, a silly rom-com and ridiculous jealousy galore!

Her eyes take her all in, the features on her face; those eyes, though hard to decipher because of the cap, Caitlyn was sure as hell those eyes were grey. A slit on her right eyebrow and the roman numerals on her right cheek of six and that scar on her upper lip to the right. That jaw could slice Caitlyn in half and she'd say thank you for it. Fuck, and when she hears her talk for the second time. "Yeah, yeah. I'm looking for my sister..?" Caitlyn had to nibble her lower lip because nobody has this right being this sexy. - modern au!: where caitlyn is powder's tutor who becomes instantly infatuated with vi, a gym instructor (and the sexiest person she has ever met) gay panic, personal issues, chaotic friends and siblings, some annoying exes and FEELINGS ensue!
