It contains a hardware store , a mechanic , an old style&nbsp; bakery ran by an elderly woman , a lovely humble diner ran by a local house-wife , a salon for the ladies , a barber for the men and the local seamstress owns a clothing store in which she also sells thread, needles and anything needed for sewing. The Town area also includes the old movie theatre which is abandoned as well as the local bar. <br><br>The local bar isn't fancy, it is completely covered in wooden paneling and has dark red booths. Everything is made out of wood, leather and a few hints of metal here and there. Inside the bar is a pinball machine, a pool table and an old jukebox. It is mainly men in their 20's - 40's whom go , the wives rarely come. However sometimes the girls come in to flirt with the bartender, Paul. They often get a free drink from the 40 year old man whom is notorious for cheating on his wife.</strong>

				Aria Hastings, first day back in town.<br><br>Aria had just driven a few hours when she drove past the faded Welcome to Pleasant Valley sign. Oh, it had been forever since she'd been here and it wasn't looking like she had missed a lot. The 21 year old beauty longed to be back in Milan or New York, but her agent said it would be best if she stayed out of any form of the limelight. Scandal had almost demolished her career after she had been caught with a married photographer. Didn't help that said photographer was a woman and just so happened to be married to one of Italy's most prominent citizens. So, here Aria was back in her hometown to give her mother a much needed break from her party planning business. Her debaucherous scandal had been big news in Europe, but she hoped it hadn't reached America. Aria had already secured somewhere to live, not with her folks, but a house that she'd loved when she was younger. It was right dab in the middle of town. (continued in next post.)

				She stopped there to shower and change into a black dress that clung perfectly to her curves, was low cut enough to look sexy but not trashy, and the hem of which stopped a few inches above her knees. Aria paired it with a pair of black satin heels, they were trimmed in black and bright pink zebra print and the heels were about 3 1/4 inches high. She was in need of a slight hair cut and the salon in town had to be good enough for now. She walked back out to her bright blue Aston Martin and got in before heading to the salon.

				&nbsp;Natalie White had been in Pleasant Valley for a long period of her life, only leaving for three years after&nbsp; going to California to pursue an acting or modeling career. However after her father had fallen ill soon returning. She luckily had a license to make others beautiful, working at the local salon. The salon was white, clean and pure looking. The bright red hair-dryers, gave a vintage look. The leather sofa which was in the small waiting area next to the counter where a tiny , petite elderly woman sat watching a small television behind her desk. Natalie had not been thinking much about what could possibly happen today, already up and prepared for work. They didn't have many customers around this time and some of the other women came in a little later so Natalie would be the one taking most of this shift. Her platinum, neat cut bangs spread across her forehead delicately.<br><br>&nbsp;Her porcelain skin light against her bright crimson painted lips, leaving them shimmer as she parted the lipstick tube away from them.&nbsp; Tossing it in her red leather bag. She wore a tight black dress which hugged her wide hips and full breast. The dress, a dark deep charcoal with white polka-dots all across the fabric with a white trim of lace underneath. Its straps sliding down her pale shoulders,&nbsp; the heart-shape exposing her cleavage just slightly. The tiny decorative bow being red for just a bit of color. Natalie began sliding her feet from her heels into her black ballet flats, small red ribbons on top of them with a rhinestone in the middle.&nbsp; Natalie liked her heels but she knew wearing them for too long would only result in hours of pain later.Arising, her long platinum hair spilled off of her shoulders down her back like a curly water-fall accept for the pinned pieces for her victory roll hairstyle. She took her fingernail across her bangs looking in a small mirror as she bent over. The mirror being placed on the head-desk near where she was sitting with the elderly woman getting ready to put a dollar in the coke-machine just outside.<br><br>Before stepping towards the door, her sapphire eyes flickered and her eyebrows raised. Gliding her slick tongue across her clean white teeth before making a smirk. Natalie didn't like females, she just didn't. Not other pretty girls at least. She didn't like ones she saw as a challenge , however she hadn't quite noticed as she looked forward leaning on the wall looking through the window next to the door that it was Aria. Aria had been rumored to make it pretty big outside of the town, why would she come back? Not that these had crossed her mind yet, Natalie hadn't thought about her in ages. However as she traced the windowsill with her finger in an un-amused manner she sighed.&nbsp; She knew she'd have to style and cut the woman's hair if that was what she was here for. Who was this exotic woman in town that made her stomach feel twisted and sour?

				Aria Hastings, ah shit, Natalie, really?<br><br>Aria parked her car by the curb and stepped out. She saw Natalie standing right outside the door of the salon. Locking her car, she walked towards the salon. It was unavoidable to interact with the woman who had once been her best friend but who became her enemy. "Oh...Natalie. Hello. So nice to see you again." Aria had picked up a slight Italian accent from her years abroad. The tone of her voice was sweet but edged with that venom which always seemed to surface when the two were in the same vicinity.

				&nbsp;Natalie began to part her crimson painted lips with a false smile as the other woman came to her and said her name, she could tell in the false tone that it was indeed her frenemy, Aria.&nbsp; Aria Hastings had always been her bitter rival, tilting her head Natalie leaned on the wall. " I wish I could say the same, not sure how I feel about seeing you , to be quite honest. " she stated with a pause as she lifted her eyebrows , the elderly woman pointing at her as a warning. Natalie dragged her slick tongue across her white teeth before rolling her eyes in a bored manner. " So can I help you, Aria? Or are you just passing through to say hello? " she asked in a questioning manner. A single eyebrow lifted as her sapphire eyes flickerd , they had been in competition with each other for quite sometime now. Natalie remembered every beauty competition, every single...one. Hours of preparation from her mother and always being a rival to her once best friend.

				Aria had to supress a grin as the older woman held a finger up to Natalie. Seemed like her nemesis worked here, great. She actually thought that Natalie was being a bit immature, the only thing Aria had ever taken from the girl was a few pageant titles, Homecoming, and Prom Queen. Natalie had tried to steal every one of Aria's high school boyfriends and had succeeded with a few of them. You didnt do that to someone who you used to be friends with, no matter how much you hated them. "Oh, you work here? I need about 5 inches taken off and that would probably do it..." She knew what kind of temptation that could put into Natalie's bleached little head. Aria leaned in slightly to whisper to Natalie. "and, um, if you fuck it up, I will ruin you."

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Alan Barker was a rather popular guy in his college but strangely enough he had only two friends were he felt really comfortable. The three of them had trooped together since the first day Alan and Darrell met Sergei. He was an exchange student from Russia and seemed to be a little helpless at first. The two young men helped hem around and soon they became good friends. As they had a vacation they decided to get away from the city where they stayed like forever. They planned on going to Los Angelos to chill out on the beach for a week. Alan was the one driving and the roadtrip was fun. He drove with some great tunes in the background. They were fantasizing about the girls in bikinis and what they'd do to them as they found some willing ladies. It would be great.<br><br>Alan had decided not to take the highway because they wanted to enjoy the real routes on their trip. It didn't matter because they had enough time to do what they want. When they drove through a small town called Pleasant Valley their car decided to stop working. Alan got out of the car and checked everything but he didn't know what was wrong. "Guys, I think we have a problem but I can't figure out what it is." He knew that both his friends had no knowledge of cars at all and started to worry for a second. "I'll go and find a mechanic somewhere. It shouldn't take to long. In a town like this their has to be a person that can figure out what's wrong. I'll be right back."<br><br>He got away from the car and didn't see people at first. The town looked kind of dead but when he walked a while he found a salon with two girls outside talking to eachother. Alan walked towards them and interrupted their conversation. "I'm sorry to interrupt but can I have a moment of your time please? Our car has broken down and I need to find a mechanic, does one of you know where I can find one?</div>

				Aria turned to the man next to her and smiled genuinely. "oh, goodness. I havent lived here in like three years, but I'm guessing that it's in the same place. I'll show you, come on. I'm Aria, by the way. What's your name?" She could get her hair cut anytime, this guy was cute and it was best to beat Natalie to him.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">The sexy brown haired girl replied his question and she told him that she'd been away for a few years. "I think that in a town like this not much changes in three years. Thanks for helping me out Aria. I'm Alan." He looked at the girl and decided to tell her what they were doing here because he thought that in here strangers that interrupted someones conversations were quite uncommon. "My friends and I were heading to Los Angelos but our car broke down when we entered this small town. What about you? You told that you haven't been here in three years. Coming back for a special occasion or just decided that this town is where you belong?"</div>

				"Oh, that sucks. Yeah, I'm pretty sure things have not changed much around here. I lived in L.A. for a bit, it is a fun city. I've been in Italy, mostly, and decided to come back home to help my mother with her business." Aria waved to Natalie. "Oh, this is Natalie. Come on, let's get y'all to the mechanic." She walked with him back towards his car witg a bright smile on her face.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Still looking at Aria "We're only going to spend a week on the beach, not that big of a deal. It's cool though that you lived there and Italy too. I wish I had the money to do such things." She introduced him to Natalie but before he even had a chance to greet her she wanted to show him the mechanic. Alan felt a tension between the two girls but he didn't know what caused it. Aria didn't seem to like Natalia. "We're parked just a little further at a bakery. Do you want to meet my friends? They're still waiting inside the car and I should probably tell them that we're going to see if we can find the mechanic." He followed her and waited for an answer. </div>

				&nbsp;Natalie lifted a brow at Aria, she seemed a little surprised that she had been working here. Natalie had her supplies set out on the counter and was placing a new razor on one of her tools nodding, as the female got closer stating she needed a good five inches cut off. She placed both hands on her hips and saw that a new male had made his way in. Nearly cutting her thumb as she replaced it , she glanced to Alan as Aria introduced her before Aria walked off. She began to follow flipping her hair over her shoulder, this girl thought she could come back thinking she ran the place? Hell no, not in Natalie's lifetime.&nbsp; Her long platinum hair spilled like a water-fall over her back , the tight black dress clenching her body-shape.<br><br>&nbsp;Swaying her hips side to side as she rested&nbsp; hand on Alan's arm trailing it back up with a smile " Our local mechanic is out right now, Aria wouldn't know that since she has been gone. He recently lost his mother, he'll be back tomorrow or the day after. If he doesn't I am sure his son would be willing to help, he is keeping the shop open now " she added in, her sapphire eyes narrowing back to Aria as she trailed her long slender fingers down Alan's arm , they were competitive with each other and it was obvious. As she tilted her head to her long lost frenemy she smiled " I should be getting to hacking off a good five inches of her hair though, before she starts looking like Raggidy Anne " she stated patting Alan's shoulder before releasing. Leaning through the car window looking at the men inside " You boys must be hungry...the diner just across from us.. " she pointed with a single red nail before nodding " Will take great care of you. " she stated.

				Aria glared at Natalie and then smiled at Alan. "thanks for letting us know, Nat." She knew that Natalie had always hated when people called her that. "Seems like I'll have to take a rain check. Here's my number. If y'all would like to hang out while you're waiting, give me a call." Aria jotted her number on a piece of paper and slid it to him. Her hand rested on his chest as she smiled at him. "I look forward to hearing from you." She actually hated Natalie for interrupting the two of them but did need her hair cut. Aria followed Natalie inside and just looked at her. "Fucking immature skank." She muttered to herself.

				&nbsp;Natalie smirked following behind Aria , looking back waving her fingers at the young handsome men stopping in before stepping into the salon.&nbsp; " I heard that " she said stepping in through the door , the old woman in the back poking her head back from the color room " What is that dear? " she asked fixing her dentures looking at Natalie from the room.&nbsp; Natalie responded " Nothing, just talking to our customer. " she stated. The elderly woman nodded putting her shoes on&nbsp; " I'm going to go to say hello to Mrs. Mullins... " she stated before leaving, Natalie just nodding. Just as the elderly woman left Natalie smirked tilting her head as she sat her scissors, razors and other hair cutting utensils on the vanity table in front of her chair. " Come sit Aria, this is my station. I'll be sure to take good care of you.. " she stared with a lifted eyebrow tracing her tongue sadistically across her pearly white teeth. Her crimson lips having a slight glimmer run across them in the lighting as she took the wrap off of the chair exposing her black leather seat to the other female. " Do you just want it trimmed, or would you like it styled a specific way? "

				Aria rolled her eyes, why was it that girls were always so catty towards each other...especially where men were involved? She followed Natalie and sat down. "Just a trim, thank you." Small talk was usually best avoided when it came to she and Natalie. She used to wonder if they could ever become friends again, but after she had beat the blonde to become Homecoming Queen, it was apparent that Natalie just plain hated her. "I'm sure that you're quite good at what you do." Ugh, small talk was a bit unavoidable. It had always been hard for Aria to stay silent, even amongst some she disliked. "How are your parents?"

				&nbsp;Natalie blinked, nodding as she stated she just wanted a trim. Wrapping the neck piece around her too keep the hair off her body. Lifting her hair with a comb spraying it with water a bit all over just getting it a little damp combing it through before taking her razor and just cutting off a bit here and there at the five inch mark or so. Watching the dark hair fall onto the ground. " My mother is fine, she's just gone at the moment. Daddy fell ill, so he's not with us anymore. " she stated before taking her scissors evening the layers. She seemed quite quick but not sloppy with her hands. Holding the girl's locks in between two fingers securely. " How about yours? " she asked snipping away around the other Aria's neck.&nbsp; Natalie didn't simply just hate Aria, she just didn't like the fact the other had beaten her and their mother's forced them to compete so much. They had an unhealthy relationship to begin with. " I heard you've been all over Europe and the U.S. , I just came back three months ago myself. You haven't missed much to be honest. " she stated tossing the dark hair to the ground making her way around playing with the other's silky dark locks.

				"Oh, I'm so sorry about your Dad. He was always nice to me." Nicer than her own father, truth be told, Aria's father was always too busy for her...being mayor and all. The young woman had been raised by various nannies, her mother only appeared in her life for pageants and the like. The only reason Aria had come back to Pleasant Valley was because her grandmother had asked her to and, well, that pesky scandal. "My mother is off in the Caribbeans with her new husband and Daddy's got his eye on the Senate so I guess he is okay." Aria spoke softly, parents had always been a weak spot for the girl. She didn't know if Natalie knew to what extent, but she really didn't care. "Yeah, I hated to leave Milan but something I needed to do. I loved the runway and all the free clothes. Italian men are amazing, too." Aria really hoped that America was untouched by European gossip.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Natalie gave him some information about the mechanic and when her hand touched his arm he felt like he was the object of a battle of seduction. She touched his arm but Aria tried harder when she let her hand rest on his chest while she waited for him to pick up her number. Both cute girls tried but that moment he only needed a mechanic and none of them seemed to tell him where the shop was because a few moments later they headed off after Aria told him that she expected a call from him. Natalie waved a second right before she entered the salon. Alans sighed loud and smiled. The two girls were definitely rivals he thought and at that point he realized that he still didn't know where the mechanic was.<br><br>He walked to the salon and went to the two girls. "Now none of both really told me in which of the houses I can find the mechanic's son. You can just tell me and I'll find it myself."</div>

				"Oh, goodness, we didn't tell you. I'm sorry. The shop is across the street and three doors down. Again, I'm terribly sorry about that, Alan." Aria smiled a bit sheepishly at him, she had been distracted by Natalie's appearance.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Aria replied is question quickly when he got in. "Thanks, I think I'll manage to find it and no worries. It's fine that you forgot about it." Alan waved to the girls when he got out and right before he left he said "I might see the two of you around." He found the shop and the son of the mechanic was a really friendly guy but to Alan it seemed that he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. The guy knew some things about mechanics and agreed to take a look at their car. Alan hoped that it would be something easy to fix because he really wanted to go to LA but on the other hand he wouldn't mind spending a little time with the two cute girls either. Aria seemed to be the most straight forward and didn't hide the fact that she was looking for some fun in town after being away for three years.<br><br>The mechanic's son and Alan arrived at the car and after a quick search they had to ascertain that he couldn't find the problem either. This meant that the three guys were at least one day stuck in this town and that they had to look for a place to spend the night. Alan figured out very quickly that he wanted to ask Aria if she knew something. Or maybe Natalie because she lived here after all.&nbsp; </div>

				A couple clips, hacks , clinks and chops and before Aria knew it her hair was done. Natalie set the scissors and razor down tossing her hair side to side. Brushing it out straight before parting it on the side. " Your father always seemed to be finding something to keep himself busy, not to be rude but if he didn't have the senator thing...he'd likely find something else. " she stated before sighing. " The trim is only $8 " she commented taking the back of her own long platinum hair putting it up in a pony-tail as she grabbed the tiny broom. Her long knee length tight black dress hugging her waist as she bent down cleaning the other girl's hair up, tossing it in the trash can before putting it securely in between her station and another girl's who seemed to be out today. Alan had came in and out since then,&nbsp; Natalie however was distracted by her work.&nbsp; She chuckled a bit before it turned into a smile " So, do you like him or are we just playing bitter rivalry like in the pageant days. " she asked lifting an eyebrow. The two of them could find some way to get along for now, however it probably wouldn't last long once the bitterness between the two rose up again.

				Sergei watched toe two ladies walk off again. Turning to his friend he asked. "No luck finding a mechanic?" Once Alan returned with the mechanics kid, things didn't improve much, as he wasn't able to fix, or even find, the problem. <br><br>"So what now...find out if this small town has a place to spend the night?"

				Aria had to smile at Natalie's comment. "He's cute and I would not mind finding out what he's like in bed. Truth be told, I havent been with a man in a while. My tastes have been fluctuating for the past few years." She shrugged. "His friends are cute too. Yeah. My dad always found something besides me to occupy himself with." She shrugged and pulled a $10 out to give her. "Don't worry about the change. You did a really good job, thank you."

				<div style="text-align: justify;">"Get out of the car Sergei. We're stuck in this town. I'll inform with the girls if there are hotels in here to stay. You can explore the town for a while if you want. If I have an answer I'll look for you. In a town like this it can't be that hard to find you." A smile came on his face when he said that last comment. Stuck in such a dull town. There were some cute chicks but he hadn't seen anyone else in here. It could have been a ghost town if he didn't know better.<br><br>It was the third time that he had to go to the girl and ask them something. It was really silly. He walked back to the salon and when he entered he saw that Aria was almost getting out. "I'm sorry to bother you once more but I have some more questions. The mechanic's son couldn't find the problem either so I guess that we have to wait for the real mechanic to return. Is there a hotel or something where we could stay the night? We can't just get the three of us sleeping in that car so I figured that you two might know where we could stay at least one night."</div>

" she winked before putting the $10 in her station's drawer.&nbsp; Knowing no one would touch her station&nbsp; while she was out. " I didn't get a good look at all of his friends , but I'm sure you're right. Where there is one , there is many. " she commented fixing the back of her hair as she looked in the mirror " So which one do you think you'll be going after? " she asked lifting a brow intrigued. " Or are you going to let them come to you like we always have? " she stated running a finger across her bangs making herself presentable. Gliding her hands down her ebony polka dotted dress.&nbsp; " Don't know why I decided to dress up , especially wearing black on such a hot day " she sighed. Seeing Alan step back in she blinked , nodding as he stated that the problem couldn't be found. " The inn, it is the brick building across from the bar. They'll have rooms available, they always do. We don't have many visitors honestly. " she commented as she put both hands on her wide hips. Her red lips parting as she looked him up and down.<br><br>Dress: [ Except Black with RED bow ] <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad252/NekoTheSecretNinja/9EA9F450.jpg)</div></div>

				Sergei got out of the car and took a look around. It wasn't a very lively town to say the least. Not the best start of a vacation he thought. He could use a drink. Following Alan, he asked the girls: "Hello ladies. Any good place in this town to get a drink?"

				"I'm not sure yet. The chase can be fun, although so can having men come to you."Aria laughed softly as Natalie put her money up. She listened as Natalie told Alan about the hotel. Then his friend walked in and she smiled at him. "There's a bar down the road. I'm all done here, would y'all like some company?"

				&nbsp;Natalie whipped her newly done pony-tail around a bit trailing her nail across her bangs. " I'm going out for a drink too, the bar isn't much but I'm hungry. If you guys don't want company, you're out of luck. " she chuckled before opening the glass door whipping her long platinum pony-tail around her shoulder as she grabbed her large purse off the counter holding the door open. Placing her heels from earlier inside the bag. " I am so...not wearing heels right now.. " she whispered as she placed them in neatly. Looking at them motioning for them to come out " Come on, I've got to lock the door so no one gets in " she smiled. Crimson glossy lips curling into a smile as she lifted both brows waiting for them all to move. "I'm starving, get a move on! " she said swaying her hips side to side in a shimmy. Obviously in a good mood.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">"Thanks Natalie for helping me out again. It's really nice of you." Sergei was followed him and his question about a bar was very quickly replied and both girls seemed very enthousiastic. "Sounds like we're all gonna get some food first before we're getting to the bar." Natalie lead them and Alan followed her glady. It could have been worse. Now he and Sergei had found two very nice ladies to hang out with. "We'll move if you move so I suggest you walk us to some place where we get some food."</div>

				"Just follow us, we won't steer you wrong." Aria grinned brightly and oddly her strides matched Natalie's almost perfectly. "If I remember correctly, the diner has an amazing chicken fried steak and pretty great burgers." They got to the diner and she stayed closer to Alan because he was who she saw first and it would have been rude to abandon him for hos friend.

				&nbsp;Natalie smirked looking back at them, crossing the street. Her long platinum hair following behind her as she made her way towards a small brick building with an ' Over 21 ' sign in the front window. Her perky steps coming along as she swayed her hips side to side opening the door to a bar filled with wooden panneling&nbsp; looking back at Sergei " Well, the local dish is at the diner actually. The bar has decent food though, less break-fast like food is here, the diner is mainly known for its early menu. " she stated making her way in nodding to Aria " Yes it does, I know what I'm getting. " she said as she made her way in, a tall bald man seen polishing the glasses.&nbsp; Smiling at Natalie leaning over.<br><br>Paul, the bartender looked back at the cook. " Get off your lazy ass Mike, we got customers. " he told the man , before Paul looked to Natalie crossing his arms " What can I got you baby-doll? " he asked in a deep tone. She simply shook her head " You know I come here for nearly the same thing every day, it is an odd mix but I like it. " she told him sliding a ten dollar bill on the bar sitting on the leather stool.&nbsp; Paul shook his head with a smile " An order of breadsticks and cheese , amaretto and red-cream soda...you eat like a kid Nat.. " he teased, she lifted a brow. " Call me Nat again and I'll dig my nails into your no-no's Paul " she chuckled. She seemed to come in here often looking back at the others she pointed " Aria's back, remember her? and we made a couple friends today, there car is broken down and their waiting on the mechanic to get back. " she stated before resting her elbow on the bar with a waiting look as she tapped her nails on the wood watching the man in the back get her food.<br><br>&nbsp;Paul nodded looking around to everyone as they entered " Well, what can I get ya'll? "

				"Hey there, Paul. It's been quite a while. How have you been?" Aria smiled at him. Paul looked her over and grinned at her. "Well well well, look who it is. Miss Italy, herself. I've been just fine, sweetheart. How 'bout yourself and what can I get you?" Aria smiled at the bartender as she leaned over the counter. Eyelashes batting almost automatically, flirting was almost a way of life for girls in the South so it was ingrained into her every movement. "I've been great. Um, I'll take a bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a Corona." She liked to eat but she worked all of the calories off. Aria smiled brightly and stood up to lean against the counter, her hip resting against it. Her hair was drying from when Natalie had gotten it wet so it was becoming a mass of waves and curls. She was thankful that her hair was rarely frizzy.

				Sergei followed the ladies into the bar. While the girls started socializing with the barkeeper, Sergei placed himself next to Natalie and picked up a card to take a look at the local menu. After glancing it over for a minute or so he desided on a spicy burger with fries and a coke. "So this spicy burger, is it mild or is it the real deal?" He asked, favoring spicy food.

The two women seemed to know the owner quite well which wasn't uncommon in small towns like these. "I think I go with the chicken fried steak. I've been told that it is pretty good here."

It has peppers on it, are you sure you can handle that? " he asked, a few people seemed to back-down from it after the first few bites.&nbsp; Taking the rest of the orders other than Sergei's and handing it to the cook in the back. The cook quickly handing him Natalie's order of bread sticks and cheese.&nbsp; Paul set it in front of her before making the other's drinks. Setting a Corona quickly by Aria, getting the other's drinks prepared. Turning on the ice machine underneath the bar&nbsp; and pressing the coke button before placing it in front of Paul. His free hand doing the same for Natalie before setting it infront of her mixing the amaretto in with the straw.<br><br>Natalie smiled, stirring her drink once more with the red straw as she sipped it. Tearing her breadsticks each into two pieces dipping it in the warm golden cheese. Taking a bite eagerly, her feet resting on her seat as she looked about chewing with her mouth closed. Swallowing before looking back " Hmm, I thought there were more of your friends Alan. They out doing something? " she asked seeming to try and make conversation.

				While waiting for the food, Sergei took a good look around, taking in the setting of the small town bar. In the big city it was difficult to find such authentic bars, since most of them are hyped and modernized. It was quite warm in here. Not entirely sure if it was just the bar or cause they were having such gorgeous company. He took of his jacket and placed it on the place next to him before taking another sip at his drink. <br><br>Wanting to know some more about the town and the girls offcourse. "So anything interesting to do in this town? What do you guys do for fun in your free time, besides helping guys with broken down cars", &nbsp;adding the last with a smile.

				Back at the car, Darrell spent a bit of time looking over the engine and the underside after the mechanic's son. Except for a couple of trips to his relatives in Virginia, he had always lived in a large city, so he felt a bit uncomfortable in the lonely heat, spurring him to find whatever it was that had them stalled. And though he'd never admit it aloud, he had heard stories about the stuff that still happens down in the Deep South to a young black man, and as he worked under the car with just jeans and a wifebeater top on, he worried a redneck might cause trouble. Still, the mechanic and his son didn't appear to mind.<br><br>After some time poking around, he finally stood up from the front of the car and sighed in frustration. He pulled on his tight dreadlocks as he went to the trunk to grab a better top, as the sweat and oil residue had stained up the undershirt pretty heavily. He lamented the humidity as he toweled himself off with the cleaner parts of the shirt's underside and slipped a better top on, a dark green that stood out well against his frame and mocha skin tone. Finally somewhat presentable (despite some scuffs on his jeans), he wandered to find his friends.<br><br>The town was small and very quiet, and Darrell couldn't help but look around as he walked on the side of the street, peeking at the windows of the stores to see if he could see the guys. When he saw the bar down the road, he knew that was the sort of spot they'd get into. He walked over to the entrance faster, stopping at the entryway and opening the door slowly. He then entered the bar, taking in the sight; he let out in his deep voice, "Hey, Alan, Sergei, you guys in here?"<br><br>

He stayed in the car while Sergei and I came back to ask if you knew a place to stay the night. He'll find us eventually." He smiled and picked out a chair next to Aria and took a sip of his coke. At that moment he heard Darrell shout their names. "I'll be right back. I'll go get Darrell and introduce him to you."<br><br>He got up and walked towards the door. "Hey Darrell, you found us. Sergei and I have met two girls, you can join us if you want. We were just ordering our dinner." Alan lead his friend to the table were he was sitting with Sergei and the ladies. "Darrell, the blonde girl is Natalie and the brunette is Aria. Aria and Natalie, this is Darrell the last friend that you haven't met." He picked up a chair for Darrell from an empty table and offered him a seat. "Now you've seen all the roadtrippers Natalie. I hope you don't mind Darrell joining us?"</div>

				"I don't have any objections to it. Nice to meet you, Darrell." Aria smiled at their friend. "So, where do you boys go to school?" She bit into her burger and had to smile at the taste. It was hard to find a burger this good in Milan and she could actually eat more than just salad now. That made her ecstatic.

				&nbsp;Natalie lifted a brow trying to rewind what Sergei had said , not quite understanding through the accent. Analyzing it for a moment, her sapphire eyes sparked " Oh, uh...we don't do much really. We go walking, hang out..do what ever actually. Some people go to the back of the country and skinny-dip, but other than that it isn't very interesting. " she admitted before glancing over to the black male whom had just entered the bar, through a glass panel. He hadn't quite spotted them yet it seemed. She wasn't racist, however a bit surprised.&nbsp; His height was quite amusing, she began to return her attention to her food, taking another bite. Pulling the bread apart eating with her dainty fingers as she dipped into the cheese. Her eyes narrowing to Alan as she nodded, he had just appeared. <br><br>Usually there weren't many black men around, however she was curious. As Alan got up to get Darrel she was surprised to find the man she was interested in was actually the friend. She parted her red lips as she held her head in her hand , elbow resting on the table. " I don't mind " she stated, at Alan's question. " He can join us as long as he likes " she smiled. Natalie unlike some of the southerners in other places was not prejudice. No one in Pleasant Valley seemed to be actually. Sipping on her drink keeping an eye on the tall dark male, she found city men so much more interesting.

				Aria smiled at Natalie's reaction to Darrell, it was true that not many black people came through Pleasant Valley, not because of racism but just because that's how it was. Aria hated racism and the point of it was utterly lost on her. She ate slowly while Natalie seemed to be transfixed by the newcomer.

				When Barbara woke up, the bed was empty. In a way it was a relief. The drive over to Pleasant Valley had been strained by an uneasy silence. Barbara had read the stories, how could she not have? Her best friend and sometimes lover had been more than a little indiscrete with another woman, a married woman, no less. Reading about it had bothered her more than she had imagined. It wasn’t as if they were really exclusive… They were friends and fuck buddies, but not really an item. But she had felt more than a twinge of jealousy when she found out and they had shared many awkward silences since then. Likely Aria wanted to discuss it with her, but didn’t dare to break the subject. And Barbara wasn’t going to let her off the hook by starting to talk about it herself. <br><br>They had slept the night together at either side of the bed, neither of them having made any attempt at being intimate. How different it would have been had they shared a bed only a month or so ago! Barbara slipped out of the bed and headed into the shower. The house Aria had chosen for her had a quaint, small-town charm, but it was not at all what Barbara was accustomed to. In spite of her tender age, she owned her own Manhattan apartment, courtesy of her trust fund. The warm water helped her to forget about what Aria had done for a little while. When she stepped out of the shower, she found her cell phone and composed a message for her friend.<br><br><div class="codeheader">Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">“Hey you,<br>Where are you?

				Aria felt her cell vibrate and read Barbara's message. She sat her beer down so she could text back. "Excuse me, y'all. I need to step outside." Aria smiled at Alan before walking outside. She lit a cigarette, the brunette didnt like to smoke around people whom she was unsure about how they felt about smoking, and she needed to text Barbara.<br>"Hey...I went to get a hair cut and am grabbing a bite to eat with some friends. Want me to pick you up? I didnt wake you up because you looked so beautiful and relaxed while you were sleeping."<br>She hoped that would slightly help the predicament she was in with Barbara, at the moment. It was true that they weren't dating or anything, but it had still been a betrayal.

				"Two girls, huh? Guess I should apologize in advance, then," he teased with a laugh and a grin as he followed Alan into the dining area. He walked with a proud strut, looking ahead to the table with their friend and the girls they grabbed up. As he reached the table, he grabbed a chair from another table to squeeze in with the group.<br><br>"Hey, wow, nice to meet you, I'm Darr-Ell" he offered deeply to the blonde along with his large, charcoal hand, emphasizing slightly the pronunciation of his name. His jeans were a bit dirty from the work under the car earlier, but his top was dark and crisp, sitting smoothly over Darrell's broad shoulders. He watched as the other girl got up, his hickory eyes wide at the pair of beauties they'd found.<br>

Only moments after that Aria got a text and got off the table to reply it but she gave him one of her sweetest smiles before she left. The three guys and Natalie stayed at the table and Alan noticed that she seemed interested in Darrell, the black friend of his. The one that had entered the bar last. "Hey Darrell what took you so long to find us? Did you really think that you'd find the problem if you kept staring at the motor?" Alan knew that Darrell was the type that could be left alone and had fun by himself but it was an unknown town and even though it was small Alan didn't want him to get lost. </div>

				&nbsp;Natalie lifted a brow amused by the dark male , as he touched her shoulder. Gasping lightly as he gripped it , his grip seeming to feel like a massage as she rolled her shoulder. " Mmm... I guess I don't need to introduce myself. I'm ' The Blonde ' " she stated with a nod licking her fingers as she ate. Half way done with her order, she had always been the girl with the healthy appetite. Usually having a slightly fuller figure than some of the other girls which attracted quite a few men towards her. Her perky but plump breast pressed against the wooden bar as she stared back into the hickory hues of the black male. Noting his lips she always wondered what they were like in bed. She simply wondered if he could eat her out well but quickly tossed the thought away, she had just met him. Though Natalie was highly sexual and perverted behind closed doors, though she wouldn't admit to it.

				(Meant that as a handshake, but I'll roll with it. lol)<br><br><br>Darrell smiled down to the blonde as she sat before him, her reaction to his touch pretty pleasing. He took a seat at the end of the table and spoke to her particularly as he settled in, "'The Blonde'? I can see where you get that name... not too many blondes down this way, I guess?"<br><br><br>He couldn't help himself as he sat at Natalie's side, his eyes grazing over her figure only partially revealed above the table, devouring the view appreciatively. While too straight to make use of the gay following to his self-nude project site, he still was regularly active sexually in the city, and with the road trip denying him even an ability for self-release for a few days, his lusts were boiling over internally. He imagined her nude and ready for him on the table, and he had to grab the menu resting under his arm to physically disconnect his eyes from her site lest he start packing an erection right there in the bar.<br><br><br>"So... what is there you gals do for fun down in these parts?" he asked while looking over the menu, trying to keep distracted for the moment until his breath slows and his emotions calm.

				"Y'know Blaine," his fat boss chomped onto his sandwich, spraying bits of tuna into the air as he spoke, "these people got a great idea." He waved a DVD in his hand, a spoof of the Porky's box art with a man standing by a hole in the wall, only instead of an eye peeking through it was a pair of lips. "Gloria's" read the title. Amazing that something so simple could manage to be a porno title, one of God knows how many Porky's spoofs were out there.<br><br>"We should do this," his boss continued to mutter with a mouth full of food. Did he ever swallow? Blaine saw him chew, saw him bite, and saw him speak with his mouth open, but he couldn't recall a moment where his boss actually swallowed. "Set up some gloryhole booths, charge men money to come in and get their rocks off. We'll make a killing, even in a town like this."<br><br>Blaine sighed, tapping his finger as he stared at the bright screen of his laptop. "Where would we get the girls to suck the guys off?" he asked in a monotone voice. His boss opened his mouth, let it hang there, full of half-chewed tuna, bread and lettuce, and then snapped his mouth shut. "Isn't it time for your shift to be over?" His boss would always ask such questions of him when he pointed out the obvious flaws in his ingenious plans.<br><br>"I got another fifteen minutes, and then Carl replaces me," Blaine responded. Those fifteen minutes would be too long. His boss waved his arm in the air, though.<br><br>"Fuck it," the fat man muttered. "Just go. This place is dead anyway." With that, Blaine sighed and hopped off the stool. He left the laptop there as it technically belonged to the store. They couldn't afford a modern register, which was pretty much a computer stocked with register software, but the group of them all contributed to getting a cheap laptop to keep entertained while at work. You could only watch or read so much porn in a day before it all started to seem the same.<br><br>Blaine left his job at the Pleasure Valley Adult Book and Video Store, a rather plain gray building with few windows and no defining features at all. Just a white sign with the name in red Times New Roman font up top. It was one of the shittiest jobs in the world. Right now Blaine lived in his own studio apartment, only able to afford living and a few of his minor hobbies. He hadn't been able to save up for school like before, and working in such a place got you feeling a bit randy. Hell, even now he was sporting half a woody in his jeans. But good luck trying to meet a woman in a place like that. Not in this town at least.<br><br>He really ought to have gone home or something, but he would only get depressed there and probably just masturbate to porn. Ironic that he never watched porn at his job, where there was plenty of it, but scoured the Internet for something half decent every night.<br><br>No, he needed to pretend not to be depressed for a while. So he stepped into the bar, walking past all the patrons, ignoring all the faces as best as he could. Last thing he'd need was an old class mate asking how he was doing. He sat at the end of the bar, as far away from everyone else as possible, and waved down Paul.<br><br>"Evan Williams," he said, dropping a couple twenties. "And leave the bottle."

				Barbara gave Aria a peck on the cheek when she arrived. It was clear she was as nervous as she herself was feeling, but she wasn't about to set her at ease.<strong> "So where are you taking me?" </strong>

				It was time for Aria to face the music and tell the truth. "A local bar, trust me, the food is good. I know you read the stories and I feel horrible because they're true. It was only a few weeks and I was going to end things but she threatened to tell her husband. I was in a really bad place, please don't hate me. I'm sorry." Aria knew they weren't dating, but it still must have hurt her and it hurt Aria that she hadn't been truthful. She started to drive after saying this and let Barbara think in silence.

				&nbsp;Natalie only lifted her brows with a slow nod staring straight forward taking out her small make-up mirror. Opening it to look at her reflection " Most of the other women are brunettes here, or at least naturally. There are only about six other blondes but, a few of them dyed their hair black. " she stated. " I see almost every woman in this town within a few weeks, I work at the little crap salon across the street " Natalie commente with a few nods, stopping for a moment after seeing Blaine's reflection in her mirror lifting a brow. " Hey Blaine, " she said simply fixing her bangs&nbsp; as he made his order.&nbsp; Trying to think of what to say to Darrell as well, there wasn't much to do around Pleasant Valley that would sound interesting to people from the city. They had the city to entertain them, with raves and high-class restaurants. There wasn't anything here that could even compete with that amusement.

				Blaine startled as he heard his name called. He turned to the perpetrator, noticing Natalie sitting not two or three seats away from him. Dammit, he should have paid better attention. Then again, even if he had, he wouldn't have expected a greeting. They went to school together, but while his nose was always buried in books or his GameBoy hers was buried in her mirror or fashion magazines, keeping up with the latest beauty trends for her pageants and other such activities. She pretty much ignored him back then, so why not ignore him now?<br><br>"Hey," he said, waving his hand lazily. Well, he did want to get out of the apartment for a change, and going out into town always had the risk of someone knowing you. Especially when it was the woman who cut your hair. He had to confess, the feeling of her hands caressing his head during a shampoo was just divine. Made him wonder how her hands would feel trailing down his body, down toward his...<br><br>He snapped back to reality, clearing his throat. That stupid porn store really did have a detrimental effect on his sanity.<br><br>"So um," he said, looking her way as Paul dropped a glass and bottle before him. "Who're your new friends?"

				Darrell smiled and watched the blonde as she spoke. He didn't see anything interesting in the town before her and the other girl at the bar, and hoped there would be some diversion to pass the time... maybe even a story to tell back to his other friends at the school. "Hair dresser? That's not bad... guess you have a bit of a captive audience here, but I've known some people that make mad stacks at some of the high-end joints in the city. If you have some talent, you'd definitely have a shot at a major salon. I wouldn't know for sure, though," he explained with his smile widening toward the end, "these babies aren't exactly upper crust ties."<br><br>To emphasize, he tugged gently on some of his tightly wound braids, combing them back onto his head after holding them up. He couldn't help but look over to the guy Natalie noted. He finally placed an order as she spoke with Paul and watched them both.<br>

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Aria told the group that she had to go and he could only smile when she touched his arm right before she left. He had interpretated the touch as a sign that she liked his company but he didn't know if he was right with that conclusion. Eating a little and thinking about Aria's move he didn't really follow the conversation that went on between Natalie and his friend Darrell. The two seemed to keep the conversation going quite well.<br><br>Before he realized what happened someone he didn't know started talking to Natalie. He hadn't noticed that the blonde girl had started the conversation. As the other men asked who the new&nbsp; friends of Natalie were he reacted "I'm Alan. Me and my friends were planning to go to LA for a few days but our car broke down and the mechanic seems to be out of town. I don't think I've heard your name yet."</div>
