Veritas Isle

Dol looked down and shrugged, putting hers in her pocket too. "After this I gotta go. I have raves that need a Dol." She said and looked back to see Adrian and Lorelei following. She shook her head and him carrying her before turning around and walking into ice cream place. She looked around. "Uhhmm... do I even really want ice cream?" She asked and the guy behind the counter laugh. "Your eyes are saying yes... hmm I bet I can pick a flavor you will like." He said. Dol looked up and checked him out. "Oh?" She asked and stood straight up. "Then do it... if you win you get to have a little surprise after your shift." She said. The guy chuckled and shook his head. "Oh now the pressure is on." He said and went over to a tube of rainbow ice cream before giving her a cup with two scoops. Dol took it and took a bit, sucking on the spoon. "Looks like you win." She winked and went sit down. He chuckled.

Lorelei wanted to rip Micah's arm and beat him with it when he moved his hand. She saw Dol's face. When they got to the ice cream shop she made Adrian put her down and walked in. She watched the whole interaction and blushed at how boldly she flirted with the guy. The guy looked up at the rest of them, like just realizing they were there. "What can I get you three?" He asked wit a smile. "You have anything named Adrian?" She asked and the guy laughed. "I am so sorry, we are all out." He said and Lorelei sighed before smiling. "Can I have the cherry ice cream please?" And he nodded and got her hers and looked at the two boys.

Adrian set Loreleli down and stood next to her watching Dol be oh so bold with the man behind the counter. He wanted to roll his eyes at the whole thing but looked over at Micah who wasnt paying any attention to them anymore, though Adrian knew it must have irked him at least a little. Adrian looked up after Lorelei ordered and thought about it. He got cookies and cream and Micah got rocky road and they paid before going to sit down too. Adrian looked at Micah who was just sitting quietly munching away at his ice cream and then looked at Lor. "You like cherry ice cream huh? Is it your favorite?" He asked and munched on his ice cream.

Lorelei watched Micah and shrugged. It wasn't her problem. When they sat down she sucked her ice cream off the spoon and looked at him, "Well my favorite is Adrian, but someone had to be all out of that one." She huffed and the guy behind the counter chuckled, "Well I am sorry if I may love that flavor too." He said and caused Lor to turn around and laugh with him. "Imma have to watch you, mister." She said and shook her spoon at him. "Oh no... you can't watch me steal the whole tube of Adrian." He said and she playfully glared at him. "I gotta." She said and they bot shook their heads. Lorelei turned back around and looked at Dol, "I like him. He's funny." She said and Dol nodded, trying not to laugh at the whole thing. "Now I am curious as to what Adrian taste like." She said and Lorelei burst out laughing. Dol didn't pay any mind to Micah, he seemed fine.

Adrian blinked at Lorelei and then looked back at the man behind the counter and the more they talked the more he just looked like he wanted to die right then and there. Then Dol chimed in and Adrian just couldnt anymore and put his head on the table and sighed at all of them. Micah was pretty amused with Adrians reactions to everything but he had finished his ice cream pretty quickly and stared at his empty cup. He got up and threw it away. "Well i'm gonna go home. See you dorks later." He said and then just walked out of the shop. Adrian looked up and watched him leave. "Howd he finish his ice cream before us!?..."

Dol blinked and looked at the two before shaking her head, "Well... how do you finish half a cake before we can even finish one slice? I mean... that is still a mystery to me." She said and smiled. Lorelei nodded, "Yeah... you wolf down cake so fast. You have me scared to give you cake sometimes." Both girls laughed and nodded. Noah came over and sat in Micah's seat, across from Dol. "My name is Noah by the way." He said with a soft smile. "Dol." Dol replied. "So... this reward after my shift.... does it include a drink down at the bar and some talking? I would like to get to know you." He said. Dol would normal shut this down, but something in her told her to say yes. To let him get to know her, "Yeah... sounds like fun. When do you get off?" She asked. Noah smirked, "In thirty minutes. I own the place." He said with a smile.

Lorelei nearly lost it, "You... own all this?"

Noah nodded, chuckling, "I do. I even make the ice cream." He said.

Lorelei about melted, "You are so cool."

Noah laughed, "Well thank you... I do work in a very cool place. Uh... I am looking for a new flavor. If you come in tomorrow we could work on that Adrian ice cream, though we might have to come up with a different name. I don't know how people would take to eating Adrian." He said and the girls couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh... Adry?" She asked.

Noah thought about it before nodding, "That will work! If you want to come by with Dol before I open we can work on it." He said.

Lorelei looked at Dol, "Please?" She asked.

Dol couldn't say no to that face, "Sure thing." She smiled.

Adrian blinked. "Uh, well pretty easily. I freaking love cake and yall are just slow. Micah hates cold things so thats just hella confusing." He said and then watched as the dude, now known as Noah came over and sat down where Micah was sitting. Adrian wasnt too sure how he felt about that but he decided to leave it be since the girls didnt look at all weirded out. Noah pretty much asked Dol out and to his surprise Dol said yes. Then Lorelei melted and Adrian was a little bit over it until ice cream was mentioned. "It better have cake chunks. Cant be Adrian ice cream without cake." He said and poked Lorelei's cheek a little bit

Lorelei wiggled her head when he poked her cheek and looked at him, "Yes yes, we will make a list tonight." She said and smiled. Noah laughed, "Well I hear from the kingdom that the cake chunks in ice cream is real popular down there. So thank goodness I now know someone who truly loves cake." He said. Dol had just finished her ice cream when Noah looked at her. "Can I throw that away for you?" He asked her and she nodded. Noah took the cup away gently and go up to throw it. Dol watched him and smiled a bit.

Lorelei took notice and blinked. She wanted to ask her what that smile meant but he came back. "I hope you like the bar down the street. I like their fusion drinks." He said and Dol laughed. "It is the only bar I go to... when I go to bars that is. I am only eighteen." She said.

Noah waved a hand, "I can get you drinks. I know the owner. His daughter loves me and he secretly loves my ice cream." He winked. Dol hadn't stopped smiling since she got in there. "Well then... if you are going to buy me drinks." She said.

Lorelei looked at Adrian like a confused kid before looking back at Dol. "Well we are going to head home. I have pregnant women to look at tomorrow." She sighed.

Noah arched an eyebrow. "Aren't you kind of young... oh my god... are you Lorelei? THE Lorelei who is the youngest doctor... I think ever? You sold me that dragon lotion a few months back. I love it." He said.

Lorelei beamed like a fucking ray of sunshine. "Yeah... I am sorry. I should have remembered! You had the incident when making ice cream. Nearly sliced your thumb off." She said.

He nodded and showed her, "Now you can't even tell that there was an accident." He said before getting up and letting them pass. "You two have a good night and come back!" He smiled. Lorelei waved and dragged Adrian out.

"Uhhh what was all that about? Dol couldn't stop smiling. Should we go check on Micah?" She asked.

Adrian didnt know what to do with all the flirting going on but part of him really didnt like Dol at the moment. He wasnt sure what was going on but she never acted like this before, and to suddenly do it the second her and Micah were getting comfortable enough to hold hand and not notice, had Adrian wonder what the hell she was doing. He shrugged when Lorelei asked him about Dol. "I have no clue. But i'm kinda glad Micah left when he did. Id really worry about him then. And Im sure he's just sitting in his room right now ignoring everythng..." He said and looked back at the shop and then shook his head. "Im never going to understand those two. She went from holding Micahs hand like she didnt want to let go to damn near jumping in that guys lap." He sighed.

Lorelei looked back and saw the two talking and chatting away. "Maybe she is running away? Dol doesn't date, so maybe she thinks the only way to get him to lay her is to go to that bar. She did say she was going to fuck enough people for the both of them and he didn't fight her about it. She is also still high... so...." Lorelei said. She held his hand and brought it up to her lips. "I love you so much.." She said, her heart suddenly hurting for Micah. She was rooting for him, but she was also getting pissed.

Adrian shrugged a little bit. "He's not going to fight her on it Lor. Theres not a way that he could without her getting suspicious and pushing him away. And as much as he wont admit it, he doesnt want to lose her. So he'll sit by and let her do what she wants despite the fact that it hurts him." He said and sighed a little. "I love you too Lor." Adrian said and kissed her temple before taking her back to the apartment and sighing when he got there. "You think we need to check on him...?" He asked, looking a little bit worried about him.

Lorelei walked with him to the apartment and stared at Micah's door before looking up at him. "Why don't you go? If he sees me he is gonna throw something at me or something." She whispered. "I will be in your room." She said and walked away, gently closing his door and laying on the bed. Micah was going to play like none of this bothered him and Lorelei didn't have it in her heart to pick on him about it.

Adrian nodded and then peeked into Micahs room but he wasnt even in there. Adrian went up to the roof and didnt find him there either so he came back to the apartment and walked into his room. "Well Micah isnt even fucking here, so..." He said and then sighed a little bit. "I dont know what he's doing, running from things probably...But it doesnt look like he even came back here in the first place." He said and sat on the bed and shook his head.

Lorelei was playing with one of his jars when Adrian walked in. "Running away is what those two do the fucking best. Where could he have gone?" She asked before sighing. "He better not have pulled that bullshit he did when he left for what a week or two and we had to go fucking find him." She said and put the jar down before sitting on his bed. "I hope he isn't doing anything stupid. Especially over a guy she will fuck and leave." Lorelei said.

Adrian sighed. "Nah knowing him hes probably just sitting somewhere. He doesnt like to be completely alone too often, i think, but when he does he makes sure no one is gonna bother him." He said and pulled Lorelei to him. "I dont think he'll do something stupid this time, but...I dont really want to think of whats gonna happen if she keeps stuff like this up. I mean, he'd probably just leave but, it would be kinda weird if he did." He said and laid back with Lorelei. "You know he talked about buying a house a couple of days ago. He might actually really stick around."

Lorelei leaned into him, "I hope he doesn't leave. Micah is still her best friend." She said and looked up at him. "What? He is going to buy a house? I wonder if Dol even knows this? She would be so heart broken if he left because she decided to freaking date. This pissed me off. They like each other and... ugh... someone needs to man the fuck up and do something." She said and nuzzled her face in his chest. "I don't want Micah to leave." She said softly.

Adrian nodded. "Yeah, that last job he did landed him in enough money to buy like three houses. So he was thinking about buying one and just settling here. I dont know if Dol knows, he just kind of mentioned it to me while we were drinking coffee the other day." He said and then sighed. "I dont think he'd leave just because she started dating. I think he'd only leave if he felt like he was being replaced, like if she was stupid enough to ignore him for whoever. I dont want him to leave either, but I doubt he'd stay just for us. Keep in contact sure, but stay when Dols forgets about him? I doubt it." He said and gently ran his fingers through Lorelei's hand.

Lorelei looked at him, "Dol would rather be dead than to ignore Micah, even if there was another guy in her life. She lov... likes him too much." She said and shook her head. "So Imma tell him red velvet and cream cheese cake ice cream. Cal it the Adry. And then you can love me more, but I really got to get to bed. So I will sleep here. I have an extra pair of clothes here and then run over to the shop and then to my house." She said and yawned.

A couple of weeks had passed and it was a couple days before Lorelei's birthday. Dol had been seeing Noah almost on a daily. She still hung out with Micah and slept in his bed. Nothing really changed. Now she was laying next to him and poking his cheek. "Ugh your cheek is so soft. Like a baby's bottom. You got a baby butt face." She laughed softly and leaned her head on her arm and looked up at him.

Micah looked over at Dol and puffed his cheeks out. "Glad you like my cheeks. Theyre my most redeeming feature you know. Thats how I get the girls. Bitches love soft baby butt cheeks." He said and then rolled his eyes. He had managed to shove his feelings down back into the hole that they crawled out of. He couldnt feel like that now anyways. Dol had seen that Noah guy pretty much every day, and the way she talked about him just made it easier for Micah to bury his feelings. He sat up, almost fell off his bed, caught himself and then sighed. "Well damn. Traitor of a bed." He said and then chucked an eraser at Dol before sitting in his chair and starting to sketch. His arm was all healed up and he had gotten his cast off the day before and was excited to get things done art wise again.

Dol died laughing when he almost fell off the bed, "Your bed loves me. I told you this." She said and laid there like she was dying when she got hit by his erasers. "Ugh... death... so close... his hands are warmer than yours." Dol giggled and wiggled up an sat on her feet. She looked over at him, sketching away. Whatever she felt for Micah was still there, though she really like Noah. Micah didn't even want a relationship so there was no way she could ever date him. So she dated the next best thing, though it felt weird to say she was dating to begin with. "Miiiiccccc, are you ready for our babies to be a year older?" She said, looking like she was about to cry. "Lor is gonna be an adult and we can't, and by we I meant me, call Adrian a pedo anymore. Ugh... Who told them to be grown ups?" She gasped and looked at Micah. "You probably did. Jealous because I could use both of my arms." She said and flopped back down on his bed and hugged his pillow. "That's okay. You love me, beddy. More than that Mic dude anyway." She said and looked back at him smiling.

Micah looed over and laughed a little bit. "I mean, one more year and I can get Adrian drunk. Legally anyways." He said and threw another eraser at Dols face and then laughed when it smacked her in the forehead. "Ugh next thing we know my ass is gonna have to attend a wedding and not wanna punch people for being saps." He said and huffed a little bit. "I did. And now I have both arms back and I can conquer the world. Ha. Be afraid Dol, be very afraid." He said and went back to sketching again. He was sketching Dols silly grin. When he was done he turned it around and showed her. "Look at your cheesy grin. Ya look like a kid who just got cake."

Dol looked at him, "Ohhh I wanna see drunk Adrian. That would be... I would be... yeah I would be a little scared. What if he is a mean drunk. I don't wanna accidentally kill Lor's man." She said before getting hit in the forehead with an eraser and falling back down. "Evil, bitch." She said and flicked him off before dropping her hand. "You think Adrian is gonna propose anytime soon? I don't think so. He is like... gonna wait too long for that perfect moment and then imma marry Lor. You can be the flower girl." She said and gasped. "You can't take over the world, you have still have to paint my stomach and make a surprise face!" Dol huffed before looking over at the sketch and couldn't help but smile. She got up and gently touch it before looking at him. "You saying I look like Adrian? I thought we were fucking besties, Mic." She laughed. "You are really good." She said a bit more softly now as she touched the painting once more. He always knew how to draw her best feature. Dol turned around and walked back to his bed before putting on her shoes. "I have to go, Noah is waiting. I will see you later." She said and poked his cheeks. "Ugh baby butt face." She said before walking out.

Micah shook his head at her about Adrian. He wasnt even sure Adrian could drink while on his meds in the first place. That and he had the feeling that Adrian was a giggly kind of sleepy drunk. He rolled his eyes when she asked if he was saying she looked like Adrian. "Nah you're a little too pale to look like Adrian." He said and smiled at her. She said she had to go meet Noah and he held onto the smile on his face until she was well out of sight and let it drop again.

Adrian and Lor walked in and saw Dol running out of the apartment buildings front door as they entered. He shrugged and dragged Lorelei back up to the apartment where Micah was in the kitchen making coffee and starting on getting some dishes done. Apparently he had made hot chocolate earlier and Adrian wanted to roll his eyes since he knew that Micah had made it for Dol and him. Micah was carrying on like nothing bothered him, which was hard for Adrian to watch. "Hey asshat." Adrian said and Micah just flipped him off. "Dickweed." He said in return.

Lorelei slapped her hand on the table. "Thunder Pussy!" She yelled before shrugging. "I felt left out." She said and sat down. "Sooo guess who is legal in a couple days? Me. That's who and I just need to know... what the fuck Dol is getting me. She won't tell me shit. I even tortured her... which just seemed to make Micah... I mean Noah kinda... I don't know turned on? But he was staring at Dol the whole time. It was like I wasn't even there. Also he gave me a check for what he made so far from Adry. Apparently everyone loves it. I told him I would donate it to medical research and he seemed happy about it. Are you okay with him coming to the party?" She asked Micah. Lorelei wanted to call bullshit on Micah beiing okay with Noah, but that would just stir up shit.

Micah nearly jumped when Lorelei slammed her hand on the table and then gave her a look. "Oh shit, legal. Now you can fuck your man and its completely legal. Go you." He said pretending to be excited about it. "Who knows what she's getting. She didnt say anything to me about it yet." He said and finished cleaning out the mugs and set them up to dry and then turned and looked at Lorelei. "Why wouldnt I be? Its your party, invite whoever you want." He said and then grabbed his mug and poured some coffee in it. Adrian sighed and looked over at Lorelei like it probably wasnt a good idea to invite him either way. "What kind of medical research are you donating to Lor?" He asked.

Lorelei sighed mentally and looked back at Adrian like she was going to invite him anyway. She wasn't about to isolate Dol's one and only boyfriend because Adrian was being an asshat and Micah was acting like a pussy on how he felt about Dol and her dating. "Ahh I found these doctors, who I might just go study with, that study the human brain. They will be studying on why people can't seem to tell the people they love that they love them. Quite interesting if you ask me. It baffles everyone on why they torture themselves instead of... oh I don't know saying how they feel to that one person... who good gosh feels the same way." She said, laughing and getting. "How crazy." She said and walked into Adrian's room where she went look for her red undies that Adrian like to keep around.
