Travis swallowed and nodded. "I do, yeah." He did feel for the other man just as he felt for his brother. No matter what, breakups were hard. "Good. I'm glad." He said and took a deep breath. "Well, I should get going. I have some stuff to do. It was... good seeing you, Roman." He said before taking his cart and waking away. @romanrhodes

END

"Good. Good." Roman nodded. He liked Travis, he thought he was a good man. He'd been upset and disappointed when he heard about his break-up from the woman he loved, Liliana. Strangely... they maybe felt similar to one another, and Travis probably wasn't fine, but Roman was going to get into that with his ex-boyfriend's twin brother.

"I'm... surviving." Roman shrugged. "...You know how break-ups are." He gave Travis a knowing look, a soft sadness in his expression before he turned away, and put the polite mask back on. "The diner is great. It's really good, business is doing well."

END

Travis shook his head. "Can't say I've ever been." It would've been somewhere he would've taken Liliana, but no where he'd go on his own. Hearing about Isla and the shop, he nodded. "I'm sure she's trying, though, huh?" He said, knowing he'd be the same if he owned a business or something. "I'm glad to hear everything's going good." @elianxbrowne

"If I wanted you to know, don't you think I would tell you?" He said sharply. He was growing tired of older brother and wished the man would just stop. "Yeah, well, you're still pretty shit at it and you hypocritical for thinking I should be out here telling you everything." Travis kept going and huffed. "All I want to do is work on this fucking house that I no longer have use for in peace. If you can't just shut up and work, then just leave, Ben. I'm not doing this brotherly therapy shit." @benjaminxjackson

Ben had a feeling how of Travis was when he pushed and made Travis talked, he knew how things that his brother keep in could lead to anger and he did not mind at all if Travis let out his anger on him, called him out on things. He watching as his brother hammered a nail in harder, getting another. "Then let me know Travis," he spoke, a small sigh escaping his lips as he looked at Travis. "Wow....." he added knowing his brother was right. Ben had not been great at talking about things and his feelings but he was working on it. "You are right, I might not have been great about talking about my feelings but am working on it." @travisjackson

He looked up as he heard the door opened and saw Lilah coming in. Since Andrew had been there, his best friend has been letting herself in, but it was something he was used to since he was little. "And a hello to you too, Lilah." Travis said as he looked back at the papers he was grading. "Well, I'm working on giving kids good or bad grades, but I'm assuming you want to do something else?" He asked and peeked back up at her. @lilahelliott

Who: @travisjackson Where: Travis's House

Lilah was often letting herself into Travis' house to see Drew but she did usually give Drew the heads-up first. Today though she was genuinely passing by so she decided to swing in. She knocked on the door but then immediately opened it, throwing her keys on the table and beginning her search around the house. She called out as she moved around the rooms before landing in the living room where she found Travis. "Not the Jackson I was looking for but you'll do," she said, dropping herself down on the chair. "What's your plan for the day?" Lilah was bored, something she daren't say but the kids were both at a party for the rest of the day and she'd been on a nightshift, meaning she had the day off.

It was strange to be friends with Anthony's brother, especially after getting with Liliana, but since Anthony came back from everyone thinking he was dead, he had avoided Dom like the plague. At first, it was just out of respect for them all to adjust and then it was just him grieving his relationship. These days, it was because Lili had left Anthony and was back with Travis. He didn't know how Dom felt about it all and he was sure it was going to make the friendship a little awkward. He didn't even know if Dom knew everything which was even worse. So when he heard his nickname, he turned and waved hesitantly back. "Hey, Dom." He said as the man approached. "Yeah? That sounds good. How are you?" @domblake

Closed: @travisjackson – Checking in with Travis and the changing tides.

"Hey, Trav!" he said, tossing up a hand at the kindergarten teacher. Dominic was aware that the situation rapidly unfolding before them was full of intricacies and nuances. Anthony's return from the grave had turned their world upside down once again. His re-entry into society was testing all of them, and the foundations of various relationships were beginning to crack. However, Dominic had come to cherish his friendship with Travis, and he hoped that his brother's reappearance would not hinder it in any way. "I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd swing by if you have a chance to chat."

Travis had volunteered for his mom to bring the donation she wanted to do down to Cedar Grill and while he was there, he decided to stick around for it and donate himself. He had sat down at the bar and got himself a drink and was taking a drink when someone accidentally knocked into him. "It's..." He said as he turned as well and looked at the man sitting next to him. The color left his face and he sat a little straight. "Anthony." He said and took a deep breath. "I can go sit somewhere else." Travis said, grabbing his drink and moving off his stool. @anthonyxblake

Megan had suggested it would be a good idea for him to get out. His frequent phone calls with the woman had been good for him and he knew that she was right. Though he wasn't entirely overjoyed with the idea, he went to someplace familiar, not realizing they were running an event for the evening. It was rather packed and his heart raced in his chest, forcing him over to the bar where it was slightly less packed. Anthony excused himself through a few people and sat down at the bar. "Cheapest on tap," he told the bartender, settling into the barstool and accidentally knocking into the other. "Sorry 'bout -" he turned to apologize, realizing whom he had sat down next to.

Doing what she asked, Travis moved harder against her body. His arm moved it's way to hold her back while the other held onto the counter as he moved back and slammed back into her body. He was panting as his forehead rested against hers. Everything about him missed her so much and he wanted to soak this up, but he also just wanted to pleasure her. So he kept his pace going hard and his hand came back around to grip her cheek before he let out a growl and kissed her hard. @lilianaxsantos

Her bottom lip was captured beneath her teeth, feeling her body tense and release at his movements, pleasurable sounds escaped her once he hit the right pace, her hands moving to the counter to slightly reposition herself, uneasy at the edge of the counter as she bucked her hips as best in her ability in her current position, never the one to just 'lay there and do nothing' if she could. She wrapped one arm around his neck, feverishly kissing him back and claiming every moan that slipped from his lips, her thighs squeezing against his hips. "Harder." She breathed between kisses, already tightening her hold on him. @travisjackson

Travis: you never going to visit when your niece or nephew comes? rude Travis: shouldn't the point be here that i'm happy again? doesn't that cancel out everything else?

Andrew: You dog. Andrew: I'm sure he would. But if I have to hear Disney channel one more time I will kill myself. Andrew: I only need therapy hearing my twin brother hitting it.

Travis: jesus. give me a second [a minute later] Travis: you know i'm sure callum would love a house guest for the evening

He rested his forehead against her as he moved into her and held her close. Once he was all in, he moved back a little before going back in, and then started making a good pace for them. A hand moved from her waist up to her cheek and he held her cheek as he looked into her eyes before he moved in and kissed her lips; a moan slipping into her mouth as he did. @lilianaxsantos

The weight of the world fell from her shoulders at how he fine tuned her like an instrument. Knowing just what she liked and what got a response from her. She had no idea if anyone outside of the empty house could hear her, but that didn't stop her from making noises. Moaning his name loudly between pleasurable breaths. It was interrupted with a disappointed groan when he moved himself away from her, but upon opening her eyes and realising what he was doing she felt the excitement bubble in the pit of her stomach. She edged even closer to the edge, for as much as it was possible, her ankles locking behind his leg as her hands captured his biceps, grabbing onto them as he entered her. This time, a soundless breath escaped her lips, taking the small moment of intimacy to rest her forehead against his the more he pushed himself inside of her. @travisjackson

Lili's moans made he move a little faster with his tongue before he added in another finger into her. He increased his pace while his other hand gripped her thighs. He loved hearing the sounds she was making, and finally his name fell from her lips and it made him go rougher against her. After another moment, he couldn't take it anymore and he moved back, pushing his briefs down, and positioning himself at her entrance; entering her slowly while gripping her waist. @lilianaxsantos

A quick laugh escaped her lips when she was pulled to the edge of the counter, more because it startled her than anything. It was soon drowned out by a moan that slipped from them after, upon the contact his tongue made. Her cheeks flushed, intensely enjoying the rush that lightly shuddered her legs from the longing she felt for him alone. "Travis." She moaned, her fingers tightly grasping his hair when he thrust a finger between her folds, her hips slightly bucking against him. @travisjackson

He pressed his lips against her skin before pulling her to the edge of the counter and he slowly ran his tongue between her folds, before coming to her clit and running against the sensitive bulb. While he pleasured her there, he slipped one finger into her and slowly moved it in and out of her. @lilianaxsantos

Soft pants of breath escaped her lips as she relished against his touch, her chest raising and dropping with anticipation. She'd only gotten a little feel at her desired prize when he moved away from her, stripping her from the last piece of fabric that still covered her body. There was no shame or embarrassment about being fully exposed before him. If anything, she poetically felt like his eyes were the only ones moving forwards that got to lay eyes on her whenever he pleased. She rested her head backwards at the touch of his mouth kissing her thighs, moving her leg to drape it over his shoulder. Her hands moved to his head, knotting her fingers through his hair as a shudder ran through her body, leaving goosebumps wherever it rushed through. @travisjackson

He sucked on her nipple softly while massaging the other before switching to the other one. He missed her so much and he wanted to pleasure her to make up for the time lost over these last several weeks. He wanted nothing more than to be with her. He felt her hand slip into his briefs and let her for a moment while his fingers looped into her underwear and took them off as well. When he came back to her, he knelt down and started kissing her thighs, moving up them slowly. @lilianaxsantos

In hindsight, how Liliana hadn't noticed she was pregnant would even astound the smartest person one would know. Her breasts were tender and even sore at times, reasons which she now knew. Her hands were onhis back, nails slightly dragging a straight line over his bare skin to his front as she hissed pleasurably at the feeling of his lips closing around her nipple. God it felt good. She lowered her head down against his, inhaling the scene of him, of his hair. Her eyes closed as she concentrated on his lips, on his hands, all whilst letting one of her hand wander down, slipping underneath his briefs. @travisjackson

He kissed her back passionately as he worked on getting off her pants before she took his hand and put them on her breasts. He massaged them for a moment before he moved his lips and started kissing her breasts, moving his hands behind her to take off her bra. He then helped her finish getting off her pants before he moved back in and took one of her nipples into his mouth and gripping the other breast with his hand. @lilianaxsantos

It was insane how this man drove her wild in mere minutes. The sheer release of knowing that they could be together, free of guilt and obligation, driving her senses to a higher level. She welcomed the cold against her body once her sweater was off, her hands capturing his cheeks as she pulled him closer, her already burning lips once more capturing his. Then, her hands traveled to his own, intently placing them on her breasts before she moved to the button of her own jeans, eagerly starting to unbutton it and awkwardly try to wiggle out of them one side to the other as her feet worked on kicking off her shoes, still capturing him between her legs. @travisjackson

He smiled at her when he placed her on the counter before kissing her deeper; running his hands up her sides. Her skin felt so warm against his hands and he was so pleased to be having her close once again. As she pulled up his sweater up, he moved back to let her finish before she was getting to his pants. He laughed a little bit before moving her hands and pulling her own sweater off her; tossing it aside with his. @lilianaxsantos

Shivers ran down her spine from his words, the smile uncontrollable on her lips when he mentioned they were home. Her stomach fluttered when she was picked up, a light laugh escaping her at the boldness of his words, yet she was all in. A gasp escaped her lips at the touch of his cold hands against her warm skin, yet she wanted more. It didn't take long for her hands to yank at his sweater, to pull it over his head and throwing it on the floor behind them. Her legs closed around his waist, drawing him in, giving her easier access to undo his belt. @travisjackson

Being in a much better mood, Travis found himself happily attending the music at the event. If things were the same as they were before he found out he was gonna be a dad again, he wouldn't have been here at all. But there he was and he smiled as he watched the band. After the song was over, he went to go get a drink when he bumped into someone. "Sorry, man. I didn't see you there."
