Under One Roof

Fae, realizing that she had left her bedroom door open, stopped and looked from her guitar at Isaac briefly.Great. F*cking great.


"Yeah," she said bluntly, her Australian accent becoming clear, not making much eye contact with him. "And you're Isaac. Ruddy fantastic." She then resumed to quietly strumming the strings, but not singing. She hoped that if she ignored him, he would evaporate or something.
 
((lol sorry xD ))


Ashlee looked back and saw the kitten. She lunged for it and picked it up into her lap. "Awwww!! I love cats! I used to be allergic. But I don't think I am anymore." In fact, she hadn't been around a cat for years since she moved away from her best friend, who had owned a cat named Charlotte. Within almost seconds of petting the black and white cat Ash's eyes had started watering. "So where do you guys want to eat?"
 
Hansel was driving, smiling at Ashlee and her cat. "I was thinking Mexican! How about you guys?" she said with a sheepish grin. She stopped at a stoplight and saw the sign for town and decided to turn. She tapped her fingers on the wheel, waiting for the light.
 
Noel saw the tears build in Ashlee's eyes and his comfort level began to drop, he pulled himself further into the seat and said nothing as he watched the tiny kitten, curiously explore the truck. "Er, Mexican? I thought we were getting McDonalds?"
 
Hansel turned the corner sharply. "Whatever you guys are up for...It was just a suggestion..." she muttered shyly, hunching down and keeping a firm grip on ten and two. She suddenly perked up. "Hey look! A whole sh*t load of food and shopping! Wow!"
 
"Ooh, let's go there!" Ash saw the "sh*t load of food and shopping" that Hansel was pointing at. "I think I saw a Rubio's." Ashlee reluctantly let the kitten get down from her lap as she sneezed. "I'm up for anything, except spicy food."
 
Noel blinked before laughing, "Not allergic to cats anymore? Huh? Are you sure about that Ash? I can call you Ash right?" he asked, tapping Hansel on the shoulder and gesturing for her to take them to the "food and shopping" area.
 
Ashlee laughed without thinking and said, "Well... I haven't been around them in awhile. Yeah you can call me Ash." She looked past Noel and out the window on his side to see the area that had restaurants and places to shop. "Hopefully if we go shopping these stores will have sales since I only brought ten dollars." Ash giggled again. "We didn't have to tell anyone we were leaving the house, right?"
 
Hansel turned the car into the mall parking lot and parked the near the restaurant. "I hope not. Let's eat first. And then we shop!" Hansel had a huge grin, this time not from nerves. She loved shopping. She had money to spend so she was ready for any price tag that came at her. She hopped down from the truck then looked into Delilah's eyes. "We'll be back with chicken for you." The cat hissed and jumped into the back. Hansel chuckled then slammed the door closed.
 
Noel waited a brief second until he was sure Ashlee and Hansel were otherwise preoccupied and gave the kitten a quick kiss on the forehead before stepping out the truck and closing the door, stuffing his hands in his pockets. The shops seemed reasonably stocked, and he had a credit card since he would presumably HAVE to buy things for the house, he walked behind Hansel and shot Ashlee a look, "Only ten dollars? I'll treat you then..." he said curtly and entered the first store.
 
Hansel glanced at Ashlee and waggled her eyebrows before grinning shyly and following Noel into the store, confused. She thought they were eating first. "So I am starving. I thought we we're eating fir..." she trailed off as she saw a cute bag and quickly went over to it. "Cuuuuute."
 
Startled at Noel's offer, Ashlee said, "N-no, you can't do that...! I don't need to buy anything if you guys want to shop. Ten is probably enough to buy food. It's fine." Upon seeing Hansel, Ash stuck her tongue out with a grin. She nimbly exited the car and shut the door behind her. Catching up to the other two, Ash asked, "So where do you want to eat?" Then she saw Hansel walk over to a cute bag. "What happened to eating first?" Ash laughed.
 
Hansel glanced over and grinned. "I get distracted easily. I think Noel would look nice in this." She said holding up a jean jacket which was ripped up the sleeves and had spikes on the collar. "Right Noel?" she teased lightly.
 
Noel squinted at the jacket and then at Hansel trying to decide if she was joking or not, "No thanks, I'd prefer not to look like Hot Topic threw up on me, Kay? Thanks," he muttered. His eyes wondering over to a pair of bright red cowboy boots. "I think you'd look nice in those boots though Hansel,"
 
Hansel laughed then looked over the boots. "They are kinda cute..." She went over and picked them up and scurried to the register. She bought them and then went back over to the duo with a sheepish smile. "Sorry...food right?"
 
((LOL hot topic threw up on you xD ))


Ash grinned as Hansel purchased the shoes on a whim. Her eyes flickered through the shops and found a black hoodie with "New York City" written across it. Knowing that it cost more than ten dollars, Ashlee looked back at Hansel and Noel. "Yep. I'm sure hungry. You guys wanna eat to go, or sitting down?"
 
Hansel smiled. "You like that? The sweatshirt? What size are you?" Hansel smiled and grabbed Ashlee's arm. "I'll get it for you! It's no problem."
 
"U-um, a small, probably... Wait, no! It's fine, I don't need it." Ash looked at it again. She did really like it. With a sigh, she let Hansel drag her into the shop, leaving Noel stranded behind. Ah, the classic moment of shopping when the guy has to follow around the girls and carry all their stuff. Ashlee giggled in spite of herself.
 
Hansel quickly grabbed the small and dragged Ash into the store. "Oh hey!" She turned around and handed Noel some cash. "Mind getting the food? Nothing spicy for her, and something with fish for me! Get whatever you want!" she said offhandedly as she dragged Ashlee over to the dresses, plucking stuff off the rack and holding them up to her. "OOh look! A leather dress!"

Noel took the money and furrowed his eyebrows at both girls, "Fine," he curtly replied, taking the money and left the store searching for a place where he could order out and that had fish. Real fish, not whatever McDonalds puts in their fish filet.


After making a few rounds through the shopping center he decided on a small cafe, that in fact was selling fish, with a huge variety of other things on the menu. He glanced at the help wanted sign, took a mental note and ordered food for the three of them, using his card instead of Hansel's money. After everything was packaged and paid for he went to find the girls.
 
Hansel was currently at the mirror, wearing sexy spandex pants and a red fringed 'Blink 182' shirt, wearing the boots she bought. She was smiling at Ashlee excitedly. "You look great in that leather dress! Want it? It's so sexy~." Her eyes caught Noel and she waved him over, turning Ashlee around. "Doesn't she look nice? She has such a nice body!"
 
Isaac smirked "You know, you have a very beautiful voice, love." He told Fae. "Where are you from?" He couldn't quite recognize her accent.
 
Fae stopped the chord she was playing abruptly. Well, he's obviously not going to piss off.


"Australia. I'm from Austraila," she said, still refusing to make eye contact with him. She picked one of the strings softly, "And thank you, I suppose."
 
Isaac could tell she was a bit annoyed with him. "I've heard Australia is beautiful place. I also heard it's full of beautiful girls" He grinned at Fae and took a couple puffs of his cigarette, making sure to exhale the smoke in the opposite direction.
 
Fae clenched the neck of her guitar as he, what she believed, was his attempt to hit on her.


"Y'know what I've heard," she said in a snarky tone after a moment of silence, glancing with distaste at his cigarette. "That when a man smokes cigarettes, it usually stems from poor coping skills when in the face of stress or a crisis, because this said man is too scared to, how Americans say, "grow a pair" and deal with the problem up front; therefore, they use smoking as a distraction, as well as rebellion, which is also why you have those tatoos, I'm guessing. On a more obvious note, smoking is the cause for 80% of the 11 different types of cancer men are diagnosed with, including body deterioration. It also pisses of the, as you say, "beautiful Australian girls".


It was then Fae was rather greatful she had sat through her grandfather's psycological and medical seminars back in Melbourne. She had been dragged off to them quite often, mostly because Fae's grandfather didn't want her lying around in depression after her parents were deemed unfit to take care of her by social services. She was surprised she had even remembered even half of what she had heard from her grandfather in the first place.
