Just Your Ordinary Shape Shifting Girl

A few weeks ago I was at work, which isn't a big surprise because I'm always at work. It wasn't an exceptionally busy day so I had time to really sit down and talk to my customers. I'm always curious about their favorite desserts and drinks; it helps me keep the menu fresh and exciting. Anyway, I was wiping up the bar after making a new coffee drink when a new face came in and sat down. I came over to get his order and introduce myself as the owner. After I brought him his pie and coffee, I couldn't help notice that he had a sort of sad smile so when he started to talk, my college courses kicked in. If you don't remember, I was a psychology major... criminal psychology but still psychology. I don't think this guy is a criminal. {I hope not anyway.} The man stayed without ever giving his name for nearly two hours. He told me that he moved to Forks awhile back to start his life again since his wife passed away, leaving him with two kids, about six months ago...

When I bought The Buzz last winter, I didn't anticipate how much work actually owning a coffee bar/ bar/dessert hangout with a band and liquor might be. Maybe I was shortsighted or a little overzealous? Either way, its been a LOT of work and its kept me busy almost every waking minute since the remodel started. All of that is finally completed and business is booming but its still a lot of work and I'm missing patrol and being at home. About a month ago I hired a new guy named Paolo. He seemed capable and smart. He had a decent resume and, to be honest, I really needed someone to help me pick up some hours. I know its my place and my responsibility and Josh has been helping me a lot but I was burning the candle at both ends. Josh agreed to oversee Paolo (who he wanted to fire and/or kill) after what was a long ass week of broken glasses and plates, and to help get him either in-line or out the door. I finally had a night to be at home! The worst part about all of the ex...

Lets get one thing straight right now. I don't trust Kendra Whateverherlastnameis at all. I know she is Quil's friend and he thinks she is fun or something, and I'm sure something about her is fun or he wouldn't want to be around her. He has been so blah since everything went down with Hayley and maybe she is helping through his funk, I don't know. But, so help me if she gives me that fake ass smile and that creepy stare one more time. *growls* Don't get me wrong, she is as nice as nice can be and just as fake. How do I know? I just know! You all know that Quil and I have some pretty big history and we're best friends. He knows almost everything there is to know about me and its the same with me about him. We click. We work and we are completely comfortable with each other. I don't remember the last time I have been as happy as I am since he moved in with me for awhile. I have always known its temporary but I love having him there. I like being able to...

Ive been thinking over how to properly explain how amazing my  Christmas was. It only took me 6 weeks but I think I finally figured it out. I'm not sure you'll understand but I'm going to give it a shot anyway so bear with me. First, I decided to stand up to the crap that is going to Seattle one day, then home, then back to Seattle to fly out to Portland. What's that saying? ... Just say no? Yes! I said no to my parents and stayed home. In MY home with my own Christmas tree in my own house with my best friend and I loved every second of it. Its been a crazy few months with all of the boss drama at work and managing the money I got in my pretend law suit, but I knew two things I wanted to do from the get go.  First and foremost, I didn't want anyone knowing I had money. Only Quil Old Quil, and me. I still don't. The money is all put away now or invested in buying the Buzz, but its hidden and that's the way I want it. Now, back to my secret mission. I want...

I keep singing that version of Happy Birthday that Marilyn Monroe does thats all breathy and hot while I type this up. Why, you ask? Because my BFF/ex/current roomy had a birthday yesterday! With all this cash I have sitting around, we just HAD to go out and celebrate. We hired a cap to drive us around, started in on the Jack and Coke and let it ride. We went to this club where I like to go because the music is loud, the lights are low and there are great drinks. We were both buzzing pretty good before we even got there but with a whole night ahead of us, neither of us was slowing down. I talked with some people I knew and Quil danced with some other girls. I danced with some other guys and eventually got to dance with each other.  It wasn't like one of those stupid high school slow dances or anything lovey at all. Let me try to set the scene a little better. The lights are low except the glare from the neon that flashes through the dark to the beat of the music. Its hot, and th...

When I last wrote here, I told you about my misadventure ... or should I say total lack of thought and restraint with my boss, Nate. I was "that" girl.  You know; the one who drinks too much, lets her total 13 month sexual drought get the best of her then bangs her boss complete with the pictures to prove it. *dies* As if I didn't feel terrible enough, he had more going on inside his head than just sex and some pictures - end of story. No, no, no. Nate decided to share the love with the tech department and have some of the high lights added to the bad cop character I had worked on several months ago. I swear, I had NO idea and believed him when he told me he deleted the pictures: I should have known better. Anyway... the game was released to the creators about 3 weeks ago which means I got a pre-sale copy. I took it home and was really excited to see how the character I created came together in the game. I worked hard on her and wanted to show Quil and Embry first. I ga...

I know I have talked a lot about my job lately and honestly, other than having Quil living with me now, its about the only thing that has been going on in my life. *blushes* Literally. I don't date and I don't have any desire to have a "boyfriend" with how my life is. I'm happy being a wolf and hanging out with friends and going out single. Its not like I'm some hermit but honestly, my sex life has been a little.... how should I say? Non-existent? Yeah. Definitely nonexistent until I lost all sanity and my resumed "virginity" last night. Ladies and gentlemen, the 13 1/2 month dry spell of Willow Black came to a screeching halt last night at the complete and total loss of dignity and thought brought to you by Absolut vodka and some ice blue eyes. Dammit... My boss is hot. I'm not ashamed to say that, and I think I said it before. Not only is he hot, but he is a smooth talker and easy to hang out with. He's smart and capable and I don't t...
