[Blaze/Declan/Parker] Have A Slice

[CHARLOTTE JADE HODGINS]

“ Quit being a freak,” Charlie said to Declan as she climbed out of his truck. He was always singing. All the damn time, and it was fucking annoying. “ Your face looks like shit, by the way” she said, turning to look at him on the sidewalk. Honestly, she felt a bit bad for him. He gave up a lot for her to try and seek her dream, and she knew it wasn’t easy for her or Daniel to sit there and watch him get bruised and punched for his ‘job’. Sure, nine times out of ten he won, but every time she watched him stitching himself up in the mirror at home with blood dripping into the sink, it didn’t seem like he was winning at all. Shame came over her slightly as she thought about her own habits. How glorious must she look hunched over a toilet trying to make herself a perfect ballerina? How about the way she tortured her feet, or neurologically tortured herself into a strict routine. Which is another reason she was pissed to be here. Declan and Blaze had wanted to go get pizza, and considering Parker was one of her friends, she couldn’t just say no. Daniel seemed to be paying a lot more attention to her habits lately. Turning down an invite to a pizzeria would probably look suspicious. So here she was, ready to choke down some pizza before she forced herself to choke it back up. Charlie pushed her hair behind her ear before she headed inside. “ Hey,” she said slightly to Blaze, giving a nod in his direction since he was already seated. Sure, Declan didn’t know that her and Blaze were hooking up. But when she walked up to the booth he was sitting in and some skank of a waitress was hitting on him, Charlie couldn’t help but lift her eyebrow as she spoke. ” I’m pretty sure he didn’t want chlamydia with his pie, you can go thanks” Charlie slid into the booth on the opposite side of him, tilting her head to the side as Declan sat beside her. “ Making friends Blaze?” she questioned, digging her heel of her shoe into the inside of his thigh underneath the table.

Declan touched the side of his eye, wincing slightly at the pain that began to sting through his entire face as a reaction to it. Well that was cool. He took in a deep breath and sighed, following Charlie inside. She seemed like she was in a bad mood, and he didn’t honestly know why. Best way to handle it in his opinion was just to ignore it. He nodded in Blaze’s direction as he came inside and settled in beside Claire. “ Blaze loves making friends. What was that girls name at the bar the other night?” he questioned with genuine curiosity. “ She seemed pretty damn eager to be your friend “” he said before smirking to himself. Declan looked down at the menu, rubbing his hand against the back of his neck. “ Claire you’re going to order something gross with spinach and tomatoes aren’t you” he said, not needing her to exactly answer since he knew the answer for himself. Declan looked up, seeing if he could spot Parker. That was an interesting girl. He hadn’t necessarily committed himself to one girl in a long time. They couldn’t usually handle his job, and quite frankly he hadn’t found anyone interesting enough. But Parker and him had been spending a minute together. She was pretty firm on the not sleeping together thing. Thinking on it, he wasn’t sure if that was what kept him around or not. But one thing he did know, he sure as hell wasn’t going to tell Charlie. She’d neuter him. “ Oh there she is,” Declan said, sitting up as he waved at Parker.

The first one here, of course. Oh well. Blaze took a seat at one of the booths and grabbed a menu. He already knew what he was getting, no need to look at it. Just as he was closing it back up, Blaze heard a slightly annoying high pitch voice talking to him. He looked up, and realized the face didn’t match the voice at all. She was pretty cute. “It’s Blaze, right?” He nodded, “That is correct.. And you are..?” There was a silence as the girl just stared at him for a few moments. Ah, saved by the..Charlie. Blaze just watched the interaction between the two. “Now, now, did you have to be so mean?” he asked with a smirk as Charlie slid into the seat across from him and Declan followed behind her. Was it weird hooking up with a friend’s sister? Hell no. This girl was old enough to make her own decisions, she didn’t need to consult her big brothers about it and Blaze sure as hell didn’t need permission to stick it to her. He felt something sharp digging into his thigh and realized it was Charlie’s heel. “Uh..Kristie or Kirstie or something like that.” he said as he slowly moved the heel out of his thigh and just placed her foot on his lap and dropped the heel on the floor gently. Blaze took his eyes off of Charlie long enough to see who Declan was waving to, ah, Miss Parker. That girl was something else, she hated him, and he had no idea why. He looked back to Charlie as Parker made her way to the table. Blaze brought both of his hands up onto the table and just left Charlie’s foot resting on his lap. “Hey guys, I’m off in like 5 minutes. May I join?” Blaze could tell the question was more geared towards Charlie and Declan, but hey he wouldn’t be himself if he didn’t push Parker’s buttons. “Of course you can. Room for one more, right here.” he said as he slapped his hand against the seat next to him a few times.

Parker gave the most disgusted look and then shook her head, “Yeah, no thanks. I’m sure Charlie wouldn’t mind taking that spot off my hands. Or even Declan.” she smiled at both of them. ”I’ll just take Declan’s seat and he can have mine.” Perfect.” Park said as sarcastically as she could, while trying to hide the fact that that’s what she wanted. “You know what, let me take y’all’s order. I’ll place it before I clock out and it’ll be ready in no time.“ Parker took the notepad and pen out of her apron and started writing. “Charlie let me guess you want something weird like, Spinach and Roma Tomato with Feta cheese and mushrooms, right? And I‘m sure you want like a water or unsweetened lemonade. ” Park smirked and laughed a little. “I’ll take a medium pepperoni and bacon pizza and a coke, please and thank you.” Park just wanted to smack that smile off of his face. How could anyone even fall for that thing? It was utterly annoying. “Okay and you?” she said as she looked down at Declan, “Wait let me guess, Meat Lovers Supreme and by the looks of your face, you’ll want a beer as well. I’ll put this right in guys.” She closed ripped of the sheet of paper and placed the pad and pen back in her apron. “Joey, here’s table 5. Make that meat lovers a large, please.” she called se she made her way into the back to clock out. Park made her way back to the table with a Coke, Dr Pepper, bottle of water and a bottle of Bud. Blaze and Declan had switched by the time she got back, Thank God. Park put all the drinks down on the table and then took her seat next to Declan. “I made your pizza a large, hope you don’t mind. I’m in the mood for that too.”

Declan smiled at Parker as she seemed to figure out exactly what each of them wanted without asking ; well except for Blaze. But she seemed to really dislike him. “ Do you already know Blake’s order forward and backwards as well?” he asked out of curiosity as she came back. “ No, I don’t mind sharing a pizza. Do you mind settling with us commoners to hang out? I mean… we don’t do the fancy red carpet thing, but… speaking of,” he started off, looking at Charlie. “ How’s Cole?” he questioned her genuinely, picking his beer up to take a drink before he lazily dropped his arm on the back of the booth so that it rest above Parker’s shoulders. He narrowed his eyebrows at the look that Charlie gave him before he frowned. “ What? What did I say?” he questioned before drinking about half of his beer, setting the bottle down. Declan turned his attention to Parker, tapping his hand against the top of the bench. ” Think you’ll be coming out to my next fight? It’s Friday night. I know you usually work those nights,” he said, spinning his beer bottle on the table mindlessly. He didn’t ask a lot of girls to his fights, and he still wasn’t sure he should be asking her. But it felt right, and honestly something inside of himself was telling him to just go with it and see where it went.

Charlie narrowed her eyes at Blaze as he had managed to get her shoe onto the floor. But once Parker was at the table she was all smiles. She rolled her eyes as Declan began to tease Parker about her best friend. It sort of sucked, she knew. There was a time when Cole was her best friend.Maybe that’s how he felt, that he was slumming it with her as his friend. Cause he seemed to be just fucking dandy with Georgia. Just like he was reading her mind, Declan mentioned Cole. Causing Charlie to give him a stare that she imagined would have scared the devil himself into hiding. But he seemed willing to drop it just as quickly as he had brought it up. However the sting was still there in her chest. And every time she got upset about Cole, she found herself in Blaze’s bed. Couldn’t exactly do that right now. So instead, she did her best to move her hand underneath the table so that her grip was on the inside of his thigh, gripping slightly. Surely that wasn’t noticeable. “ You literally just got your ass kicked, dude. Should you be fighting again?” she asked while making a slight face. “ I won, thank you. Mind your own business” Declan had said before turning his attention back to Parker. Since Parker and Declan seemed to be in their own little conversation, Charlie turned her attention to Blaze. “ Speaking of best friends, how’s that darling Roselyn of yours” she said sarcastically. It really wasn’t fair of her to hate Rosie so much. There seemed to be no feelings whatsoever between Rosie and Blaze ; whereas she herself had those uncontrollable feelings in her best friend Cole.

[BLAZE JOSEPH DEVITO]

Blaze just smirked when Declan mentioned Cole, “Too soon bro, too soon.” He shook his head and opened his Coke slowly, just in case Parker shook it up. “I’m surprised you didn’t shake it.” “I almost did,” Park replied, “but then I didn’t want to have to clean up a mess.” she brought her attention back to Declan and Blaze took a sip. He needed to figure out why Parker hated him so much. What did he do? It couldn’t have been for what happened a few years ago, could it? Oh well. No need to sweat it now. It’d come out eventually. “Ah, Rosie. She’s good. “ Blaze could sense some sarcastic tones in Charlie’s voice. “Do you not like her or something. I’m sensing some hostility there. Rosie’s a nice girl and a really great friend of mine. You’d like her. “ Blaze just smiled and took another sip of his Coke, replacing the before he put the bottle back down on the table. Miss Charlotte looked like she was a little jealous. Blaze put his hand on Charlie’s bare thigh and then slowly began to slide it up her leg. He looked at her and just smiled.

“Of course I do. She’s my best friend.” Parker replied with a smile. “I have a great memory. I rarely forget anything.” Parker did her best to ignore Blaze. She really only wanted to focus on Declan. She was so thankful Charlie was there to keep his attention. “I agree, you look pretty beat up. Are you sure it’s a good idea. Couldn’t you do some serious damage to yourself?” Park sat for minute and then smiled, “I’ll definitely be there though. Someone’s got to take care of you.” she bit her lip gently and just looked at him for a few moments. What was it about this guy? She just couldn’t stop thinking about him. Every time she closed her eyes, all Park saw was Declan’s face. It was perfection. Just then the pizza’s were brought over and placed in front of everyone. “Two slices for Charlie..” Parker joked. Parker grabbed two paper plates for her and Declan. She grabbed a piece of pizza and took a bite, it was way to hot. She sat there fanning her mouth and just laughed.

[DECLAN JAMES HODGINS]

Declan smiled as Blaze suggested that it was ‘too soon’. Did Charlie and Cole get in a fight? Cause that literally never happened,ever. That guy could walk on water. I mean honestly, if Declan could pair his sister up with anyone in the world it would be Cole. But looking across the table, he knew she would end up with a guy like Blaze. Blaze was the type of guy that was cool to have as a friend, not the type of guy that was cool to be feeling up your sister. Thankfully, he knew Charlie wasn’t Blaze type. Disaster avoided there. He spoke quietly as he looked down at Parker. “Well yeah I could do serious damage.. But I mean, no more serious than what Charlie is doing. She’s just as likely to injure herself. And Blaze.. he could hurt himself working on cars.And you… you must have some burn marks on those hands of yours from working here,” he said, turning her hands over to look at them before giving her a slight shake of his head. “ Some people go to work and clock in. I go to work to….clock others out” he said with a slight smirk as he looked down. The thrill of his job didn’t get to him the way it used to. When the pizza came he sat up, trying to give room for the pizzas on the table. He smirked as Parker bit into her pizza and immediately started claiming it was hot. “ Or a danger of your job is a burnt roof of your mouth” he added dryly before reaching in to get a piece of pizza.

Charlie made a slight face at Blaze as he asked whether or not she liked Rosie. “ Senator’s daughter. Gorgeous. Could literally have any guy in the world. Killer wardrobe. Killer body.What’s not to like?” she said with a slight roll of her eyes. ” I highly doubt she and I would like each other. We have nothing in common,” she said before looking back over at Declan and Parker. Except Declan seemed to be talking almost semi seriously to her, which was weird, so Charlie just put her chin in her hand. When she felt Blaze’s hand on her thigh, she turned her head to look at him, letting a smile slowly form on her lips. She wasn’t sure what she was to him. A friend…a play thing. But to be honest, she didn’t really care. He could go and do what he wanted, and she could too. She’d been very clear about her feelings for Cole. When the pizza came, she did nothing to move how her legs were positioned. If anything, under the table they were curved more in Blaze’s direction. “ Ha ha” she said curtly as Parker suggested she eat two pieces. Charlie placed a piece of pizza on her plate, holding a napkin down against it to try and soak up as much of the grease as she could. “ What’s the plan after pizza?” she asked as a general question to everyone before hesitating about whether or not to take a bite.
