The bar-Colbie's dreams-Outside

[B.L.]

Merlin rolls his eyes wide and says 'if you manage that then i feel sorry for all woman-kind Brayden'.

[Kayleigh]

Ivy scrunches her nose up at Brayden, "Eww." She says like the mature 17 year old she is.

[B.L.]

Merlin laughs,'looks like you've already failed with this one Brayden' he says gesturing at Ivy, Merlin smiles at her 'a woman with taste i like it' he jokes.

[Ayn]

Brayden laughed, "Don't doubt it till you try it." he winked at her. "Merlin, do you have any Jack Daniels?" He started reaching toward his back pocket for his pack of cigarettes.

[Kayleigh]

Ivy shook her head, "Oh no, I'm not letting myself fall for another guy. Last time I did that I ended up hurt." She pouts.

[Kayleigh]

"BRAYDEN!" Ivy mock yells, "You better put those cancer sticks away right now!" She says like a concerned mother.

[B.L.]

'At home yeah, but you ain't getting any of that here Brayden, i now what your like' says Merlin with a shake of his head. Merlin looks at Ivy, 'some blokes are just that way Ivy, dont discount all of us, well..maybe discount Brayden'.

[Ayn]

Brayden snorted, "Yes we are." He rolled his eyes at her concern but put the pack back in his pocket.

[Kayleigh]

Ivy smiles at Merlin, "Yeah maybe that's a good Idea." she says before patting Brayden on the head, "Good boy..." she says as she watches him put the pack away.

[B.L.]

Merlin smiles at her gently and says 'The party should be good though Ivy, maybe you'll meet up with someone, a lot of the uni Colbie college lot come back for summer remember'

[Ayn]

Brayden looked between them, "Maybe I will party with you guys." He started nodding his head, "College chicks."

[Kayleigh]

"I'll think about it. It sounds like it would be more fun it I just hung with one of you..." Ivy says looking between them both.

[B.L.]

Merlin pretends to be offended 'dont tell me you fell for his charm Ivy, im hurt', Merlin winks.

[Kayleigh]

"I didn't fall for anyone's charm, babe." She says mockingly with a slight twinkle in her eye.

[Ayn]

Brayden's lips tugged up. "Don't worry Merlin, I'll save you her virtue."

[B.L.]

Merlin thwaks Brayden over the head and says 'shut it Brayden', he doesnt do it meanly though.

[Ayn]

Brayden shrugged and gestured to Ivy, "Oh come on Merlin, don't tell me you don't want to?"

[Kayleigh]

Ivy shifts around in her seat and starts to twist a bracelet again.

[B.L.]

Merlin looks over at Ivy and she looks uncomfortable, 'Don't make me have to kick your arse out of this place Brayden, be nice to the women populace of this bar alright' he smiles at Ivy, she is incredibly pretty.

[Kayleigh]

Ivy looks up and Meet's Merlin's eye, she mouths a thank you to him. She takes another drink of her diet coke and glances around the bar.

[B.L.]

Merlin gets his phone out and texts Kol, he's meant to be here for his shift soon. Maybe he's still with Belle, the thought makes Merlin's stomach twist so he pushes it away and says 'what are you two doing now anyway?'.

[Kayleigh]

Ivy shrugs, "I don't know, when is your shift over?" she asks.

[B.L.]

'Soon actually, when Kol comes he starts and i just have to do a bit of inventory before i go' answers Merlin.

[Kayleigh]

"Oooh inventory...sounds exciting." Ivy said sarcastically with a bright smile.

[B.L.]

Merlin notes the sarcasm and says 'oh, oh it is, you dont have ANY idea what your missing, you know what else is fun...carrying boxes of alcohol from the truck on my morning shifts'. Kol normally did more of that though strangely because he gets up at about 4 in the moring and goes running...or whatever.

[Kayleigh]

"Here I'll make you a deal. Play a game of darts with me..." Ivy points at he dart board on the wall of the opposite side of the bar, "If you win, I'll help you carry the boxes, but if I win, you have to carry me around at the party tomorrow night." She challenges with a giggle.

[B.L.]

Merlin grins 'ok then, i'll do it as soon as Kol gets here, you have to be here by six in the morning mind for that box lifting' he laughs at her expression.

[B.L.]

(im thinking of making a girl character, if i did woiuld you like to rp with her?)

[Kayleigh]

"Six in the morning?" Ivy Repeats with a look of horror on her face, "I should really get more information before I make bets." She mumbles.

[Ayn]

((Sure.))
Brayden put a tip on the bar and strolled out.

[B.L.]

(ok i'll make her now x)

[B.L.]

Merlin laughs again and says 'yeah thats the first rule of making dart bets isnt it'.

[Kayleigh]

"no the first rule of dart bets is seeing if the other person is even good at darts." ivy says

[B.L.]

Merlin is about to answer when Kol walks in, Merlin's face turns to ice and he says 'So you decided to come after all Night'. Kol simply raises an eyebrow and looks right into Merlins's eyes wihtout flinching, Merlin turned away. Kol's gaze always made him feel uneasy that way. Kol comes over and goes behind the bar. Kol glances at Ivy and nods politely, he says 'Im sorry Merlin, i forgot my book down at the wisha...beach', Merlin rolls his eyes, 'you and that bloody beach Night, you spend more time there than anywhere else, get some mates for christs sake', Kol doesnt answer just carries on. What infuriates Merlin is that Kol doesnt stay quiet out of shyness, he just doesnt seem to feel like its worth it. Merlin grits his teeth.

[Kayleigh]

"Wow...awkward.,..." Ivy mumbled as she covers her mouth to hide her smile.

[B.L.]

Kol says 'well I'm here now so whatever you want to do is fine Merlin', Kol looks curiously over at Ivy, Merlin says 'whatever Night', Kol knows Merlin calls him Night to remind him that just because they live together doesnt mean they are family, even after two years. Kol is still looking at Ivy slightly, wondering what shes like, and if he were to write something about her what would it be. A poem, a song, a story. Her eyes told a story, maybe a story through song, Kol's mind was already whirring with ideas, lyrics, words, her ocean eyes, depth and gravity "forever water clear/ my lovely colbie dear", he smiles at the thought and itches to get to his writing book and maybe his guitar too. Kol was a writer to the core, it hurt to not be able to write. Kol realised he'd been staring, Merlin is glaring at him. Kol averts his eyes and starts to wipe down the counter, his plain dark black tshirt stretching over his broad chest and shoulders. He was coming off strange again as he always did, it doesn't bother Kol, but it does bother Merlin.

[Kayleigh]

"Wow...you guy obviously love each other..." Ivy says sarcastically. There was so much tension between the two of them, it was crazy. Ivy lightly taps her fingers against the bar counter to a new song she was working on as she hums it lightly. She had seen Kol starring at her and she slightly narrowed her bright blue eyes at him in confusion.

[B.L.]

Kol notices Ivy narrow her eyes, he knows she plays music, but he can't remember much else about her, at least not anything truly personal, except about her mum. Grief was different for everyone, living in a care home meant Kol knew this in all it's certainty. Kol never likes to think of his mothers death, the nightmares do that for him, the night Kol's mother was murdered is not something easily pushed from the mind. Kol can see Merlin still looking at him angrily out of the corner of his eye, Kol turns to look directly at Ivy, his naturally intense midnight blue gaze resting on her face, 'You play', it wasnt a question, he could hear her humming. "music in the sound we seek/never ending forever bleak/In ocean water rythm plays/until the end of the waves", the rough lyrics come into Kol's head to add to this new song based on the girl with ocean eyes in front of him.

[Kayleigh]

Ivy slowly meets his midnight blue gaze, "Umm Yeah, I play piano and guitar..." She explains, "I sing a little, but not much. I don't like my voice." She shrugs.

[B.L.]

Kol nods in understanding, 'I play too, i've never thought much about my voice, might as well sing anyway or whats the point', Kol can the see the light in her eyes, it makes him curious. Merlin snaps at Kol, 'Kol, leave her alone', Kol thinks about telling him to back off, but doesn't, he says simply 'Ok Merlin'.

[Kayleigh]

"He wasn't annoying me Merlin, trust me, if he was, I would of let him now." Ivy says looking between the two. "You should preform at the beach party, Kol."

[B.L.]

Merlin shakes his head and gives Kol another look, Kol doesn't acknowledge it, 'Maybe, never really done crowds since i moved from Ireland'. Kol thinks about all the songs he's written since then, part of him would love to preform out in fornt of people, he never thought of himself as a prefomer, he's a writer and songs were just another form of doing so. Merlin looks over sharply and says 'Since when are you coming, beach parties aren't your usual thing', Kol shrugs 'never had a reason to go before'.

[Kayleigh]

"what's your reason now?" Ivy asks curiously. She looks at Merlin and gives him a small smile

[B.L.]

Kol thinks of Belle, Merlin is right, beach parties aren't his thing, back in Ireland he went to parties almost every night and they always ended badly, here he had the chance to start over. But he wanted to know Belle and if that meant going to summer parties then he'd do it, 'Belle' is all Kol says. Merlin stiffens noticeably.

[Kayleigh]

Ivy notices Marlin stiffen and raises a brow. So is this is why they didn't get along? It was because of a girl. ivy smirks at them both and shakes her head.

[B.L.]

Kol see's Ivy shake her head and Kol quirks an eyebrow but doesn't say anything. Merlin is still tense, he used to care for Belle, but he doesn't like her the same way anymore, but that doesn't mean he wants Kol anywhere near her. Merlin does truly think that Kol's dangerous, and Belle is a good person. Merlin says 'She's not your type either Night'.

[Kayleigh]

Ivy climbs off the stool she was sitting on and digs in her purse for her wallet she puts some cash on the bar, "Well this is truly awkward." She says, "I'm going to the beach to write lyrics." She says running a hand through her blonde locks.

[B.L.]

Merlin looks down at the ground pushing his anger away, 'Im sorry Ivy, do you mind if i come with you? just for a bit' he says, feeling the need to get out and away from Kol. Kol merely raises an eyebrow and says 'The beach is the best place to be for that', he turns away and walks into the back to do some box moving.

[Kayleigh]

Ivy rolls her eyes at Kol, "I know." She mumbles, "And yes Merlin, I could use the company." she says, her blue eyes looking up at him. She always had to look up at people, she was only about five foot one.

[B.L.]

Merlin smiles and grabs his dark blue jacket. He thinks about calling out to Kol but then decides against it. Merlin pulls on Ivy's hand until they are out the door.
