You Are Going To Do So Well. Some People Are Just Meant To Be Parents, And You Are Definitely One Of

ALYCIA DEBNAM-CAREY as MILLA BLAKE Apple Cider Vinegar, 2025

the universe hates to see us winning, and by winning i mean being in each others lives. how long do you plan to be in london? i'm going to be in the UK here soon for an extended period of time. coming to spend some time with a special friend, so if you happen to be in town we have so much to catch up on. maybe even toss in a little gossip.

I miss you so much it’s actually rude at this point. Honestly, you’re right. It has been way too long and I hate that our lives have turned into a game of schedule Tetris. I just wrapped in London and I’ve got a glorious little window of freedom before my next project kicks off, so yes to dinner. Yes to catching up. Yes to all of it.

alycia: i've been the worst not checking in, but i wanted to see how you and the family were doing? i bet that little bundle of joy you have is growing like a weed. how have you been? catch me up on everything. @luhmmings

am i the only one who hates having any sort of time off? when i'm working i can't wait for a little time to myself, but now that i'm not booked and busy like i have been i have no idea what to do with my free time. do you have any recommendations of places to travel or things to do? i've tried to think of things to do, but i'm drawing a blank. @ayodebiris

alycia did not hesitate to accept jamie's offer to spend time with him in prague. she would have been lying if she said she hadn't missed him in the wake of his absence. the two had always been very close, not only physically, but emotionally as well. she had been there for jamie through some of the darkest moments of his life, and she did it with a level of love and understanding. she had always cared about him— more than she had realized. their attachment to one another had always gone unspoken. mostly out of fear of rejection or the loss of their friendship. she had been hurt one too many times by those she trusted the most, so keeping jamie at arms length felt like the right thing to do— until now.

something had shifted between the two of them in their most recent text exchange. he had always been his usual, charming self, but there was something else that lingered as well. was it love? maybe. was it lust? definitely. alycia didn't quite know what it was that was brewing between them, all she knew was that she didn't want it to stop. the minute she had landed in pargue he was there to greet her. they had their moment in the airport before he took her back to his hotel. it didn't take them long to fall back into old habits, and before she could unpack they were in bed together.

the two spent her first night in bed, playing catch up and enjoying each other. they had so much time they had to make up for, with all the time in the world to do it. they had to roll out of bed at some point, and there was no better reason than to have a spooky little date with jamie. the two had joked about finding something fun and spooky to do, and being the dark prince that he was he had managed to find them the perfect location. with much hesitation on her end he had finally convinced her to get out of bed and join him in the shower. she could have easily skipped the date to stay in bed with him, but the idea of a spooky castle was too cool to pass up. she had promised him she'd wear one of her many little black dresses, so she pulled on the thin strapped, form fitting short mini dress and paired it with a pair of her favorite flats.

she gave herself a final look in the mirror once she was dressed. she had opted for a subtle, more natural look with her makeup. she never felt the need to wear much about jamie. he always managed to make her feel beautiful with or without it. with one final comb through of her wavy, brown hair, she took his arm so they could be on their way. luckily the location in question wasn't far from the hotel, so she didn't mind walking the short distance. "i bet that's just as beautiful as it is spooky— let's start there." her eyes lit up as she turned to face him. she always had to look up just slightly due to the height difference, and every time she managed to catch his gaze. "i know i sound like a broken record at this point, but i have missed you." she rose to her tip toes long enough to place a gentle kiss against his lips. "i didn't realize how much until i got here, and now i can't imagine being anywhere else."

When Alycia had offered to come to Prague, Jamie would admit that he'd been very thrilled with the idea. He'd been missing the actress a lot since it felt like a long time since the pair had seen each other last. Their friendship had been a strong one for many years, she'd been by his side for a lot of his ups and downs and valued any time that he got with her. And it just wasn't about the fact that they were sleeping together as well, even though that part of their relationship made Jamie very happy, he just liked being around her, loved spending time with her. So he was happy she was in Prague with him now, happy that they were in each other's space and just getting to spend time together. And he told himself he'd try not to think about the other feelings he had when it came to Alycia, because he was still pretty sure if he voiced them out loud he'd lose his friendship with her. And no matter what, he'd rather have some of her than none of her, so he was keeping those feelings unspoken. Her time with him was just about spending time together, having some sex if they felt the desire, and just being the great friends that they were, nothing more than that.

So after a much-needed reunion when Alycia reached the hotel they'd be sharing, and when the two finally decided to roll out of bed, Jamie decided that he needed to plan a spooky adventure for the two of them for the night. Jamie had been told that one of the most haunted places in Prague was Prague Castle, so that's where he planned to take Alycia tonight. He loved being in such a spooky city, and Prague was voted one of the most haunted in the world every year, which he loved. So after the two shared a shower together, Jamie got dressed all in black because that was his normal go-to style. Though while dressing all in black, he went with a little dressier black pants than normal and a black button-down that he left a few of the top buttons undone so his tattoos could peek through. He just felt like he should dress up a little more, like it was a date, even though he knew it wasn't a date, they were just friends, but he remembered Alycia saying something about a little black dress, and he didn't want to be undressed. He pulled on a pair of his favorite black boots, placed all his silver jewelry on, and fussed with his hair until it looked halfway decent.

After that, he waited until Alycia was ready as well, made sure to tell her she looked beautiful, which she always did, and took her arm to lead her out of the hotel and walk to where the Prague Castle was, which thankfully wasn't too far from their hotel. As they approached the huge Gothic structure, Jamie would admit that his eyes lit up because it was exactly his type of building, and he knew he was going to enjoy exploring the castle very much with the girl that was currently on his arm. Jamie couldn't help but turn to her with a smile, "So, I was told that the most haunted part of the castle is the cathedral. Do you want to start there?" @alyvas

as much as i would love for you to have a break i selfishly want you to keep working, because girl i need new music. i need new jams to add to my summertime playlist. thank you! i don't think i could judge you for that. it's not the kind of movie everyone would enjoy, so i'll give it a pass. i do hope you watch this one though, if for any reason than to see me. did it?! i had no idea you were in a film. what's it called, i need to add it to my watch list asap.

i wish i would take a little break but i have been booked and busy. i can't wait for that quiet time during tour. look at you! i know you're loving that, character development is key but it'll be great. would you judge me if i admitted i've ever seen godzilla. my first movie did great and i'm very happy about it.

i have never been more frustrated that i'm not stateside at the moment. i left prague and went to the UK right after, but i'm always down for a little gossip session with you. we can pop out the ipad, pour us both a glass of wine, and have us a good ol' virtual hangout session.

Wait, are you still stateside? Because I need to hear this little gossip before you jet off to the UK. My movie wrapped, so I’m officially back home in L.A., reunited with my own bed and aggressively average coffee. If you’re around, let’s carve out time for a proper catch-up, you can tell me more about this special friend. I’ll bring the wine, you bring the tea (figuratively, unless it’s scandalous enough to require actual tea).

i can't say i've heard of that show, but it sounds pretty interesting. i'll keep it in the back of my mind if i ever decide i want to try something new. i'll be honest i'm not watching anything too crazy at the moment, aside from season three of white lotus and 911. those have been my consistent shows at the moment. also the righteous gemstones, but i know shows like that aren't everyone's cuppa tea.

Right now I'm into the most random of shows. It's called The Amazing World of Gumball and if you know, you know. It just gives me randomness but also it's really funny and I'm just weirdly so into it, you know? So, as I figure out what I'm doing with myself at the moment - tell a girl of some of your favorite watches. I'll enjoy it all! Oh, and I'm Cree, if you don't know me. I'd say the shows Mr. Iglesias and Game Shakers as well as the movie Turtles All The Way Down were what got me most known, but the career is still young. || @hfrpstarters
