Oh, oh
Flashbang heart, light the fuse
Belly of the beast, got nothin' to lose
Make it rain with the fire
Oh, oh
Ooh
-Oh my God! -Raine!
Not me with the hat on!
Hello!
-Oh, this is the most you store ever. -Hi!
-You're tan! -My European chic?
-Are you buying something? -Well, I was looking at hats.
Wow, you came back cowboy. You're like Dylan.
-Hell no. Don't make that comparison. -Sorry.
I'm offending you, and I haven't even seen you in…
I don't know what's going on.
-Oh, honey, don't worry. -Tell us about Europe.
Um, it was amazing. The hotel was beautiful.
-The Italian men were beautiful as well. -Okay, good.
-You come back with an Italian boyfriend? -Unfortunately, not really.
But there was… there was a few that…
-That caught your eye? -Yeah.
-It smells so good in here. -Yeah, this is the best.
And they have this cute little coffee bar over here in the plant store.
Oh no. Bye. Making a mess here.
Breaking a chair.
-We've been here two minutes. -This will fall.
Things are happening.
-Wow. -Oh my God, okay.
So I was gone for a long time. I need all of the tea.
-So last time I saw you… -I need a pie chart and a whiteboard.
-Do you guys have a whiteboard in here? -I know. Like, we need to…
Buckle up, babe.
-Okay. -Genuinely, so much happened.
Okay, okay.
-Okay. Dylan and Suede are, like, talking. -Oh!
And a TikTok was posted.
Wait. What?
I guess they don't have cell service in Italy.
-How did you not see this? -She was having a fling in Italy.
She's not on Suede's TikTok.
-That's crazy. -Yeah.
I'm just shocked because the last time I was there,
Suede was like, "Fuck Dylan."
-Like, "He's so trash." -So you'd imagine my surprise.
Did she speak to Jemma before kind of pursuing?
-So she posted the TikTok. -Okay.
And then she texted Jemma saying, "Hey, I just want you to hear it from me."
Like, "I've been-- Dylan's been pursuing me."
"I just thought you hear it from me so you don't spill a drink on me one day."
Oh, okay.
And then she spelled Jemma's name wrong.
-Oh no. -She spelt it with a G.
She spelt it with a G.
"Hey, 'Gemma!'"
"Gemma," girl.
Jemma was like, "You know how to spell my name."
I'm dying.
First of all…
-I'm not laughing. -No, it's funny. It's hilarious.
Oh my God. Poor Jemma.
Anyways, Suede and Dylan went on a date.
Then I hung out with Suede, and she was like, "Yeah, it sucked."
-And I was like, "This man sucks. Duh." -Okay.
-Shoot. I won't say "I told you so." -Shocker.
But then basically Dylan told everyone about the shitty date.
He told all the guys about the date.
-And the guys, they talk. -The guys gossip more than us.
Oh my God.
So a few days later, I get a FaceTime call, and it's Suede,
and she's like, "Dylan told me that you went and told all the girls,
and you were talking shit about our little date."
Genuinely, my life flashed before my eyes 'cause I was, like, so confused.
My first thought was, "Take me back to Europe."
"Get me out of here." No, I'm just kidding.
Um… I'm super, like, not involved in drama. I never have been.
So I don't even know what's going on. I got a lot of information just now.
So I'm, like, trying to process it.
It's a lot happening.
That was, like, leading up to last night.
And then, I don't know if you know my history with Emilie…
You guys have been friends for a while.
Yeah. We have a tough relationship. She'll never see what she did is wrong.
-Okay. -So then, going into last night…
We had this pool rooftop party.
We thought it was our normal squad, you know, just getting drinks.
Meeting other guys, hanging out with Bolt and Borna and Nolan.
And then there was Ben, cutie. We're all chatting, getting to know them.
So Emilie and I talk about it, and I was like, "Wait, Ben is so cute."
Like, I'm kind of like… She was like, "Lexi, I think everyone thinks he's cute."
"Me, Emma, Ella." So then she walks away,
and I'm over there with Nicole and Jodie. They're taking photos.
And I look over, and I'm like, "I think they're kissing."
No.
Well, I am, like, low-key upset.
-I hate that. -Yeah. That was sad.
So then I was heated. It's not even about the boy.
It's about that she does that with everything in life.
And even if I were to bring that up to her today, she'd be like,
"So? Like, he chose me. Like, you're just jealous."
"No, babe, you're just a bad friend. You are just a bad friend."
I do think, because Alexie's been friends with Emilie for so long, she thought,
"Okay, maybe it's different with us. She's done this stuff to other people,
but she would never do it to me."
Like, the "she never did anything to me" is the worst mindset to have.
Because if someone's willing to do something to…
another one of their friends, you're next.
Hypothetically, would I love to talk to her? Yeah.
Is she so in Emilie-land that she'd even listen to one word I said?
-It might just be wasting your breath. -Yeah, literally.
-It's kinda messy, but I like it -Uh-huh
You're kind of obsessive, but I liked it
Uh-huh
It's kinda messy, it's kinda messy But I think I like it
-Hey. -Oh, wow.
Why does our dog look like a cat?
I told them to trim him, and they gave him a summer cut.
I don't know what that means.
You make that for me, 'cause you're my favorite child?
Do you want it?
-If you love me… -It's a cappuccino with creamer.
-I'd love it. Can I take it? -Take it.
Ooh, it looks like I'm at a gourmet coffee place.
What's going on?
Nothing. The usual.
Oh my God. This is so good.
-Right? -Yeah, thanks.
Can you move back in?
I know.
I'm willing to do almost anything to get you to move back.
I know.
Like, I offered you a Porsche. I offered you a Lamborghini truck.
-Everyone tries to bribe me with a car. -Why? Dad's doing the same thing?
Maybe.
He's definitely got a bigger wallet than me, though.
Like…
My parents got divorced when I was 15,
and it was, like, really tough because there was, like, an affair,
and kids at school, like, my friends, would, like, play music by, like, a rapper
that my mom was, like, talking to at the time,
and it was just shitty.
I feel like when all of it first happened, it's like…
I'm so removed from it now, so it's easy to kind of talk about, maybe, but…
Being a kid and dealing with that was difficult.
And now my mom's in Miami, my dad's in Calabasas,
and she wants me to move to Miami.
So it's hard to balance that relationship with her,
and not upset the rest of my family.
I just read this thing, and it said
now more than ever,
kids that graduate from college move back in with their parents.
Really?
Yeah. Do you feel like that's what's happening?
Yeah, honestly, kind of.
-Right? -Yeah.
So are all your friends back in Calabasas
now that you are all graduated?
-Yeah. It's wild. -Do they have jobs?
No.
You need a job too, bro. You know? Like, get in the finance world.
Get where the money is.
You're 23 years old. You're an adult.
At this point in your life, like, you gotta start making good decisions
when it comes down to your career, you know?
'Cause you're gonna blink and, like, open your eyes,
and you're gonna be 30.
Once you're an adult, the years just fly by.
And so I feel like you need to focus on your career, you know?
I feel like that's the difference between when I'm here vs when I'm there.
I feel like my friends in Miami are more, like,
about, like, working and, like, the grind.
I feel like Calabasas, everyone is, like… No one wants to work.
Everyone's already got it, so they're just kicking it.
So you feel like the friends here have more, like, drive?
Honestly, yeah.
Okay, so tell me everything about Calabasas.
I feel like people just kind of annoy me lately.
Why?
There's one kid, I'm speaking highly about him,
'cause he got a lot of shit thrown on him.
-Dirt on his name. -Yeah.
A lot of the stuff that people are saying about him is being proven to be true.
-Well, maybe give him a chance. -I gave him a chance.
I'm already at the point now where we're on the decline.
I thought we had a lot more in common, but I don't think we do.
But I'm still, like… I try to be nice to everybody.
So I don't know. I needed to escape the drama for five minutes.
So that's why you're here? Really?
Yeah, it's frustrating. That does give me anxiety
when people in my circle are saying stuff about me.
I feel like I need my circle to be tight, on lock.
So I don't like dealing with that, internally.
Yeah. No, I get it.
You're hypersensitive to it
because you've had to, like,
you know, defend your last name and your family.
Remember when you beat someone up in high school?
Do you remember you got into a fight when you were in China
with your basketball team,
'cause one of your friends said something about me.
I'm not a fighter like that. I don't remember that, but maybe.
I remember 'cause I was on a plane coming back from Dubai,
and I landed, and Gabrielle Union was calling me,
like, "Um, Preston got into a fight."
Her stepson got involved in the fight over me, and I felt so bad.
I was like, "Preston, it's okay. Let people say whatever they want."
But I do feel like you're very protective over our family name,
and I feel like it's because you've had to be that way your whole life.
So that's probably why you're the way you are with your friends.
Yeah, it probably does, like, stem from years of deleting comments and, like…
-You know… false narratives. -Oh my God, did I screw you up?
-Yeah. You traumatized me. -Did me and Dad screw you up?
Dad saying he's the best basketball player in the world, me doing crazy things…
Yeah.
-Do you feel like you need therapy? -Oh my God.
-Do you need therapy to deal with this? -I think, yeah, after the summer, maybe.
Hey
Oh hey, whoa, whoa
Hey, whoa, whoa 'Cause I love it like that
Whoa, whoa 'Cause I love it like that
Hi.
-Hi! -You look so cute.
Oh, you do too.
So glad we came here. It's literally my favorite spot.
I know. I've been craving it so bad. You don't understand.
Leopard print. I need to go in your closet.
Yeah, let's do a little trade.
-Swip. I feel like you'd wear this. -Yeah.
-Yeah, that is gorgeous. -I was going for '90s Sofia Vergara.
-Oh, oh! Mm, yeah. -Did it land?
-Thank you. -Yeah.
-We need to switch. -Yeah.
-Here's your order, guys. -Thank you.
-Okay. -Thank you for ordering for us.
-I think she went to Calabasas High. -Oh my God. Really?
Yeah.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
Cheers.
I always mix the house with the spicy Asian dressing.
-Spice. Same. -I get the Noodlerama.
I add rice noodles to the Chinese Chicken.
Oh, so it's like the same thing, but with the crunchies.
-Yep. I've perfected my order. -You might have just changed my life.
Yeah, no, I did.
Just changed the trajectory of your whole life span.
I think you actually did.
All, like, the Kardashians are on this.
You know this place is literally put on the map by the Kardashians though.
-What? -People swear, like, they started it.
In my head, this is the Emilie salad,
but, apparently, it was the Emma salad too.
You know, yesterday, going into the party, I honestly felt kind of nervous
knowing that just, like, drama is gonna fall through.
But I feel like us kind of like having, like, this friendship,
honestly, like, made yesterday so much more fun.
I also wanted to talk to you about, like, the end of my night.
-Yeah. -Um…
I went over and talked to Ben, and then he kissed me.
But I wanted to see how you felt about that.
Yeah.
'Cause I know you were saying that you thought he was cute before.
And I know all of us kind of said he was cute.
-And Lexie too. -Yeah.
But I wanted to see if that bothered you?
Yeah, for sure. I mean, I definitely can't lie and say I'm not hurt about it
'cause I already knew.
I definitely, like, got kinda stung,
because you and I talked about how I was excited to see him,
hoping he didn't have a girlfriend, and it just didn't play out that way.
-Yeah. -And, like, it is what it is.
And I'm never gonna be the one to be like, "I'm over here. Look at me."
-Yeah. -He made his decision.
But ideally, it would've been, like, you'd have paused in the moment
and been like, you know, considered how I would feel
and been like, "Ben, I really like you. Let's pause," and talk to me and be like,
"Hey, Emma, XYZ. I really like Ben. I know we had this conversation."
Like, that's how I would like my friendships to be handled.
I don't think that it's fair to get mad at someone
when, like, he chose to hang out with me.
There's no way I'm not kissing him. Like, he's so hot.
There's a lot of sour grapes, probably enough to make wine,
but I like wine.
I mean, I was, like, just hanging out with him.
-I'll get over it. -Yeah.
But, um, it seemed as though Alexie was very mad, very upset.
-Really? -Yeah.
It sounded like they were all hopping on this train of, like,
"Alexie and Ben were hitting it off. Emilie knew it. Why would she kiss him?"
"She just met him." All these things.
I'm sitting there, one part of me is like, "Okay, I'm hurt that they kissed."
And another part is like, "Why is Alexie having everybody gang up on Emilie?"
I feel like she's mad because she had a conversation with Ben first.
You're the one that pulled him aside talking about New York. That's great.
Everyone can talk to him.
I feel like we can't go and put a name tag on the poor kid.
Mm-mm.
I've had friends that I've had in my life since I was two, younger…
and, like, 12, and those are still all of my best friends.
And we've never had fights.
Hang on, Emilie.
Is that her?
-Did she walk by us? -She did.
And she just walks out.
I didn't even see her walk in, and then doesn't say hi.
I don't know. Maybe she heard me being, like, "Oh, she's backstabbing me."
That just goes to show how small Calabasas is.
I think we all thought Preston and Alexie were a thing.
Mm-hmm.
In my head, you guys flirted at the beach under the same towel.
Poor Preston.
He's probably confused.
But I feel like that's not fair you want to claim Preston.
And not let Preston know that you're moving in other directions.
I wonder if Hercy's butthurt, if he knows.
I feel like I've established with Hercy that we're friends.
I mean, he still could be hurt, and he's entitled to that.
Yeah.
I'm honestly just kind of thrown off by this whole thing.
Like, it's gonna ruin my Health Nut salad.
That says a lot.
But it just kind of happened where I feel like Ben was really nice,
and I kind of like him.
Yeah.
You would do just about anything If I said "please"
And you'd do it for free 'Cause I'm so sweet
-Can I get you a drink? -Yeah. Can I have a dirty martini?
How-- how dirty?
Like, filthy. I like a very dirty, filthy martini.
Great minds think alike. Let me grab the vermouth.
-Oh. -Is this kind a martini?
I guess. I feel like that's a margarita glass.
This is most definitely not a margarita.
-Are you sure? -Yeah.
I feel like a martini is like this.
-It's a shape similar. -Okay.
When Nolan is showing me this setup, I'm taking this in,
and I feel like I don't deserve it. I feel like someone will jump out
and be like, "Just kidding." I have this idea in my head,
like, "No guy will ever want to do this for you. You're not worth that."
But I feel like he's not in here to, like, be a piece of shit like Dylan.
He's actually here to get to know me.
-Thank you. -Yes. Cheers.
Cheers.
And the verdict?
No.
-Let me see. -Wait.
It's dirty, that's for sure. It's…
It's-- it's filthy. Yeah.
I love you endlessly
We'll fly to infinity
-This is so cute. -Here we go.
-Thank you. -Take the clean one.
Okay.
These are the ribs.
Okay. Which one should I have?
Which one looks the juiciest?
This one.
Okay, sure. He looks juicy, yeah. That's a good pick. Go for it.
Nolan, I'm not eating this off the bone. This is insane.
How do I do this? Can you have one too, so I'm not, like, the only, like…
No, I wanna watch you eat it.
Nolan!
Do you wanna go fork and knife with the rib?
-I'm going to judge you if you do that. -Why?
What, are you too good to eat some beef off the bone?
-No. Okay. -We're gonna try this together.
Huh?
-What, are you shy? -Yeah.
Why? Dig in. It's a rib.
No, but they actually-- This is really good. I'm really impressed.
Thank you. They were made with love.
Yeah, I can taste it. Did you do all of this yourself?
Oh yes, I did. This was cooked overnight.
-Really? -For 15 hours.
Oh wow. Damn. This is so nice.
I don't think I've ever had a guy cook a meal for me before.
-So… -Really?
-Yeah. -Where are you at, dating-wise?
Oh, well, I mean…
-I feel like I'm having fun. I'm 23. -Mm-hmm.
I have never been in a relationship, I've never had a boyfriend, ever.
-What? -Yeah.
-You have not had… actually? -Yeah.
-You and Dylan-- -No, we were not dating.
-You didn't date? -No.
Wouldn't you know? You were friends with him.
I believe he had told me otherwise.
-Oh, okay. News to me. -Maybe it was a high school thing.
Yeah. I mean, we, like, would hook up.
We hooked up for years, but we never dated.
And who was too afraid to put the label on it? You?
-Just two years of on-and-off hooking up? -Yeah, just we're very toxic.
Like, he would do fucked-up things, and I would just react and yell,
and, you know, it would be-- it just wasn't a good thing.
Why would I want to make that a commitment?
I don't know. Two years is kind of a commitment.
I know. Well, sometimes you get stuck into things that you can't escape.
-You go on dates? -No.
-Actually? -Nolan, this is, like, my first date.
-In a month? -Like, ever.
-No, like, ever. -Shut the fuck up.
Like, I don't go on dates.
-Why? -'Cause I just am like…
Are you closed in and shy and afraid to open up?
-I just feel like it's a lot. I have… -What's a lot?
-Sitting down, talking with someone… -Why?
Having a conversation, it's a lot.
I feel like I'd rather come to your house and hang out.
Oh my God.
I just like to skip to intimacy first, typically.
Okay.
-No, okay, that makes me sound crazy. -I didn't like that for you.
'Cause it's not easy like that. No, I feel like I'm super picky.
You either click the button or you don't, and I know immediately.
Have a lot of guys clicked the button?
No. It's really hard to click the button, actually.
A lot of guys don't know where the button is.
That's the case, apparently.
I've been known to click the button a couple of times.
Okay, you're doing a good job. You're close to clicking the button.
Bing, bing, bing.
Mm-hmm.
Well, this rib date clicked some button somewhere.
-You can eat my ribs anytime. -Thank you. I will.
I'll come back again soon, hopefully, if you invite me.
-I will invite you. Yeah. -Okay. Good.
I think this is like-- this date healed a little part of me,
in the sense of, like, you don't need-- Like, it's not that serious.
You can go on a date. You can-- It's not that deep.
You don't have to deepen it. It's not a big deal.
And I feel like dating is normal. You are allowed to like a guy.
You're allowed to pursue a guy,
and I feel like this was the first step into healing
and just exploring this dating life of mine.
-Okay. -Same time next week?
-Yeah. Okay. -Okay.
I never felt so high…
-Okay. Bye. -Get home safe.
Thank you.
-Text me when you're home. -Okay.
Baby, it's you and I
Here we go now
Jump in and ride with me
Oh my God, it's the fair!
Only here for a good time, honey Not goin' home
Jump in and ride with me…
When was the last time you went to a fair?
When I was like 12.
-Oh my God, I love this. -It's so cute.
-Let's do it. -Welcome to the fairgrounds.
All right. Well, there's also a rodeo that I think…
-Oh! Coincidence. -Which is really why we're here.
Um, but I'm gonna go watch my boys ride.
If you guys are down,
I know we're probably gonna go bounce over for a little bit.
What do you ladies wanna do?
I think the girls should go somewhere, and we can meet up with you after.
I have never been more confused in my life about Dylan and Suede.
She's like, "We haven't hung out for a few days."
But then he walks in with a hickey on his neck,
which, by the way, "Are you, like, 15?"
That looked pretty fresh to me.
-I want to get a funnel cake. -I don't think that's our vibe.
We'll meet back up.
Have fun. Yeehaw. Save a horse. Ride a cowboy.
-Don't do that. -Oh shit!
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Underneath the stars…
We're here, boys.
Whoa! Dylan.
-We need everything. -I like this little food corner.
-Can we get hot dogs? -Yeah. You want to get a hot dog?
Wait, they have nachos too? I kind of want a hot dog.
Four-topping spiral fries?
Hell yeah.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
A little bull called Shaggy.
Look at that boy!
-Here he goes! He's good. -Oh shit.
That's all right. You're good.
When you texted me "rodeo," I thought you said "Rodeo."
Oh, see, that's the difference between us.
-A little nacho never hurt. -Mm.
-I like the jalapeño sauce. -Guys…
Alexie, do…
Wait.
-Alexie, have a bite. -Give me it.
I'm genuinely scared of that thing. Okay, yeah, see, this is more my speed.
That's more you.
-Perfect. Nicole. Hoodies, zip-ups. -This is my scene.
Look at this.
Let's go.
-You're Suede. -I am.
-Oh my God. I've followed you for years. -Girl! Thanks!
-So nice to meet you! -Thanks for the support. Appreciate it.
-You're like… -I think I wanna do a crew neck.
-This brown crew neck in a large. -I want this brown one too.
-Okay. -Please.
And I love the name. Cali Cowboy. I love it.
Well, I missed you guys. What's been up?
-I missed you, Suede. -What's the latest and greatest?
Where were you at the rooftop party? I feel like barely saw you.
I was there. I was there briefly though. I got stuck with Dylan most of the time.
-It was so awkward for me and Dylan. -Have you talked to him since?
-Babe, no. -No? I get it.
Are you and Dylan good?
-Yeah. I care about him. -You guys are fine?
He's such a cool kid.
I see him in my life for the next ten years.
-Really? -I see him, like, in my life.
Like, whether it's friends or not. I think he's a cool kid.
-That's how I feel with Preston. -Where our friendship is so good.
So important. I love you so much.
Yeah, I want to be friends with him. I want him in my life.
I am concerned 'cause I've been through similar situations
that Suede has, like, with the Calabasas guys.
So things that she might not even think are a big deal,
that she hasn't even brought up to me probably,
like, that would be enough to turn me off completely about a guy.
Being in a four-year relationship, you see a lot of stuff,
and you learn a lot.
And I feel like, with that knowledge, I never saw this working out.
But it's actually going worse than I thought.
It's just, I don't know. I just think, all around, he's a red flag.
Literally, a week into this relationship,
he's trying to create a rift between me and you.
I was just so shocked that that day when you called me,
like, "Nicole, is this true?" I was like, "Suede, you know me. I wouldn't do that."
In that moment, I was so hurt.
I want you to know that it didn't come out of a malicious intent.
I called you to ask a question, and I think it came off,
because I was with Dylan, it came off like I was ganging up on you.
Exactly, and I…
-That's never happened to us. -Ever. Agreed.
Triple in shock, like, "What's going on?"
And, honestly, I apologize for the way that it came out,
and I apologize for even FaceTiming you.
I appreciate that.
-You know I don't like this man. -I know.
If he makes you happy, and he doesn't come in between us,
I'll support it. I'll support whatever you want.
-Do you think we should go find the guys? -Let's meet up with our buddies!
Why? I just want to be with the girls.
-Find the boys! -Let's go!
Oh yeah, oh yeah
All I want to do is clear my mind…
Dylan, fuck.
Go higher. Want me to hold you?
No.
Hat backwards.
The same angle.
The same.
Come on, you're coming with me, boy!
This feeling is electrified It's electrified…
Oh, look who it is! Look who the cat dragged in.
-Long time no see. -Surf Rodeo?
-How was it? -It was fun. Got you something.
-Oh, it's a capybara! -Do you know…?
Do you know how much money this thing costs?
-You're the sweetest, thank you. -Of course.
We're gonna get a pineapple chill.
-Hey, what about me? -Okay.
-Save us the cinnamon roll. -We won't.
How was rodeo?
Dylan was so geeked. It was hilarious. He loves that shit.
-It's fun because it's so different. -Yeah.
But consistently doing that, I don't see how he does it.
Yeah, no. Wait, so how's everything with Dylan?
I don't know. I really only came when I heard you were gonna be here.
-I mean, yeah. -I haven't talked to him in a minute.
I was like, "Okay, he's gonna be here for the rodeo. I'll just pull up."
Yeah, we were talking to Suede about Dylan and stuff.
But it made me kind of bring up the whole Ben thing.
I know we never talked about that. Terrible place to talk about this.
Can y'all pipe down? I'm having an intimate conversation here.
I felt bad because I don't know where we stand and all that.
So I don't know. I just feel bad, and I wanted to, like, apologize
and also just ask what your opinion on all that was.
I mean, you didn't need to apologize. I get it. I think that's where it's weird.
In the past, we've been open about,
"I like this person. You like that person."
So there's a weird line.
And I think we haven't communicated our boundaries and where we're at.
So I wasn't holding that against you.
-Yeah, okay, good. -So I appreciate you thinking of that.
So what do we do about that?
I don't know. I've let you know I have feelings for you, and, like…
I don't.
Why do you just drop that?
What do you mean shrug, like…
I feel like I try to say, yeah, I have feelings for you.
Someone like you
Just don't come around every day
Someone like you
It's the promise that I'll never break…
Whatever the pretty lady wants.
-Oh my… -That's a wrap.
I don't know why I go for, like, the bad boy, but they get me sometimes.
-So many things in my hands. -Champagne problems, sweetheart.
It's like this very toxic, negative trait that I almost, like, crave.
I think we have a lot of chemistry together.
And there's something still pulling me towards him.
"Major, babe."
I don't know what I did To deserve what you give
I just know that this life Should be lived with someone like you
Just don't come around every day
Someone like you
-Oh, you look so cute. -Thank you. Great to see you.
-Wait, the line was crazy. -The line is crazy. You already got that?
-Also, they ran out of mint. -Thank you.
-Oh, that's okay. What flavor is this? -Sweet cream.
Okay, I like sweet cream. All good.
-Um… how was your day? -It was good. How was yours?
-You look cute. You look so cute. -Thank you.
What flavor did you get?
-Cookies and cream. Do you want to try it? -Is it your go-to?
Everything is.
Big bite.
Don't shame the bite. I wanted to get you a good bite.
You want to sit here?
-Oh my God, there's a turtle. My God! -What? Nah…
They're so cute!
-They're freaking me out. -They're not gonna jump up your gun.
-Look at all the turtles. -No, I was just saying that. Yeah.
-I was also just saying that. -There's a ton of turtles.
-Would you ever touch it? -Honey, come and look at the turtles.
-Are you Howie? -Pardon me?
-Is your name… -Yeah.
-100%. -They're turtles. Turtles.
-There are a lot. -Are you a big turtle guy?
Yeah, I-- I love turtles.
-Really? -Yeah.
-Good talk. -Nice meeting you.
-Have a good day.
-Oh my God. -That's growing up in Calabasas for you.
-Yeah, right? -Wait. I'm starstruck about that.
-Yeah. -I don't normally get too starstruck.
-But… -Wait.
He was so fascinated with the turtles. Should I be looking at the turtles more?
-That was sick. -That was crazy.
-Last Thursday, it was nice to meet you. -It was nice meeting you too.
When I walked in, it was so funny, I was like, um…
I was like, "Who's that girl?" I was like, "I have to go talk to her."
-I had like the same reaction. -Stop.
What's your type?
-My type? -Yeah.
Other than, like, tall, tan, blue eyes, super funny…
-Mm. -I was hinting at you, by the way.
-Oh, were you? -Yeah.
But you lost me at the super funny part. I was like, "That does not align."
You don't think you're funny?
-No. I don't have jokes like that, but… -Maybe I think I just laugh.
-Yeah? -Not at you, but with you.
Yeah, sure.
No, you can be as mean as possible. Go on.
Someone who's active and likes to do a lot of things.
Because you don't watch movies or shows, right? Didn't you say that?
Yeah, no. You remembered that.
I don't really watch movies or shows much, except Adam Sandler movies.
That's the only thing I'll watch. He's my favorite actor,
and I've seen every single one of his movies, like…
-Happy Gilmore just came out. -Right.
-So I've watched that, um, five times. -Already?
-Yeah. -Right, okay.
So Happy Gilmore with your mom and dad.
You grew up around here, went to SMU. What has been your dating experience?
I honestly don't date a lot.
I told myself this summer I'd make myself go on dates
now that I'm out of college because I have a timeline.
-Right. Yeah. -You know, I'm getting old. I'm 22.
-But… -You're really old.
-Wait, when's your birthday? -June 7th.
Oh, happy belated.
Thank you. How about you?
-March 19th. -March, right?
I remember you saying that. Okay, so…
-Wait. -You're…
-Are you 2003? -Yeah.
-So I'm older than you? -Yeah, you're a cougar.
-Oh my God, I'm a cougar. -100%.
But that happens to fall under my type, though.
-Okay. -But I'm also like a weird dater.
-What does that mean? -Ya know, I haven't dated many people.
Mm-hmm. Me neither.
But… from who I've been with in the past,
I think what's super important to me is family.
-Which is, obviously, important to you. -Very important to me as well.
-Um… -That's good to hear.
-But I'm moving to New York. -Yeah.
In a month.
You know what's crazy? I've never been in New York.
-Really? -Isn't that crazy?
-You have somewhere to stay. -Oh, perfect.
How about long distance?
-I think long distance is… -That's a…
No, I mean, it's hard, but I think that all good things have difficulties,
and, like, I think it shows more about your relationship
if you can work through something like that.
It's only gonna make you stronger at the end.
One day we'll be married and laughing. "Oh my God, remember when we did that?"
You make certain sacrifices 'cause it's worth it.
And if it's not worth it, then it's just not the right person.
-So is there anything wrong with you? -Me?
You just say everything perfect.
No, literally everything is wrong with me.
Like, actually, I overthink literally everything.
I'm a huge overthinker.
-Are you? -Yeah. I overthink myself.
Not really situations.
Okay, so then, within the friend group,
what do you think would happen if people found out that we kissed?
I don't think we were too slick about it.
-That is true. You think everyone saw? -I don't know. I don't really care.
-No? Really? -No… no.
Do you think other people are going to be mad at either me or you?
No, I don't think there's anything to worry about.
I feel like a lot of the boys are probably super into you.
I did go on a date with Hercy.
He asked me on a date, and, you know, I wasn't gonna say no.
I kind of like felt bad.
Wow, okay. Yeah, doing him a favor.
There was just, like, no spark, really. I feel like he probably feels mutual.
-Right. -There was never a second date.
-Well, there is now. -Yeah.
And you can't go on another date with anyone else. Seriously.
-No, seriously. You're mine now. -No, yeah.
Ben is so mature, and I enjoy him not being involved in the drama
because, as much as I try to run away,
it follows me.
It haunts me. Everywhere I go, the drama just comes.
It's like stuck in my hair or something.
This girl just walked by and gave me a funny face.
-Which one? This one? -She looked at me and she goes like this.
I'm like, yeah.
Gonna make somebody sorry
Not trying, just begging for a good time
So high, just fly
Live a little Not worry about a damn thing
Red lights, long sighs
Give a little I deserve what I'm chasing
I don't need love
Not gonna settle When I think I got a new crush
Crush
Yeah, I think I got a new crush
Crush, crush
Yeah, I think I got a new crush
Zoey, come here.
Minute you caught my eye
I was losing my mind
Dreamed, and when I woke you…
Howdy, partner.
-Hey, bud. How are you doing? -Good.
So, Sterling, what have you been doing?
My best.
-What does that mean? -Um…
I just found out I'm on hold for this super huge job in New York.
Do you get some kind of pay if you block out time or you just…?
Only if you book the job.
So where is this gonna take you, though?
So you're going to… I mean, is this-- Is this going to be sustainable?
It's going well. I think you'd be sur… Like, you'd be proud. Like, I don't know.
I'm not saying I'm not proud. It's something that I don't understand.
Your father said, "Okay, this is what I'd think you should be doing."
Yeah.
It'd look a lot different than what you're doing. Right?
So how would that look? What would I be doing right now?
Well, you'd probably be out on a well location helping design a well.
An oil well? You think I would be out on the field making an oil well?
I think it would be a good occupation. Yes.
I was actually born in Texas, and I moved to Alaska when I was 8.
My dad works in oil,
and so you have two options, Texas and Alaska. So we did them both.
For those months of me graduating and moving here
was just like… him just being mad.
He's this big hunter guy, like, has a beard, wears camo.
And so I started wearing Lululemon.
But he was like, "My son doesn't wear Lululemon."
"Somehow, you got switched up in birth. My son's out there wearing camouflage
and hunting boots."
And at the moment, I'm just like, "Damn."
But why did that affect me so much? I don't know.
Do you see yourself getting married at some point in time?
Do you see yourself having children?
I mean, yeah, of course.
You've got to be thinking about, if there is to be young 'uns,
how are you gonna support them?
-Are you saying kids are expensive? -Kids are very expensive.
Obviously, marriage is the goal of a relationship,
and Brynn loves to, like, toss in the whole marriage word.
Before I wanna get married, I want to grind work, have a thriving relationship.
But it's hard dating in the industry.
My first ever big campaign I booked was with Speedo,
and I had to shoot with a girl, and, like,
now we call it SpeedoGate because there was a huge argument.
And so even dating a year and a half, I still think we're pretty young.
I think there's a lot for us to experience before we make that commitment.
I mean, life is decisions. You're constantly faced with decisions.
What you can't do is you can't look back and regret decisions.
You've gotta stay forward-focused.
-Well, hey, I do got to run. -All right. Thanks for calling.
-Love you a bunch. -Love you too. Talk soon.
-Just be careful, please. -You be good now.
-All right. Bye. -All right, bye.
Just like a movie
We're livin' how we want
That's our life, we own it
No one is gonna be
No turning back on me
-Welcome to Celé! -Hello, here for a sound bath.
-Are you guys excited? -I've never done one.
-Hi! -Hi, ladies, welcome.
Oh my gosh.
-It smells amazing here. -How fabulous is this?
Already you're healing me. I can feel your warmth, girl.
Get comfy, okay? I want you to feel like you're at home on the couch.
-Right, cozy vibes. Love it. -Cozy vibes, exactly.
So sometimes I like to do a little intention or a prayer saying,
"Hey, what type of message do I need to hear today?"
"What can I let go of? What can I release?"
Is it fear? Is it judgment? Is it control? It's like you're shedding.
-Okay. -Lay down, ladies.
Allow yourself to surrender.
My first sound bath experience was absolutely incredible.
I've never done anything like this. It was a little emotional.
I felt like this wave of emotion at one point
because I started thinking about Dylan.
It's not clear to me where Dylan is standing in my life,
and where I want him.
Welcome back, queens.
When you're ready, you can slowly come up to an easy seat.
Lengthen through the spine.
You can bring your hands to your heart center if that feels good.
The light in me sees the light in you. Namaste, ladies.
Namaste.
Thank you again. Have an incredible day, ladies.
Thank you so much.
Okay. Wow, I feel rejuvenated.
-Dude, I almost fell asleep. -I know, same.
I want it for my house. I'm not kidding.
-This whole setup and the magic carpet. -I want the sand one. I love the sand one.
No, same. Cleanse, darling, cleanse.
That's enough cleansing.
Okay.
-Did you have fun at the carnival? -It was fun. We need more stuff like that.
I know. I feel like it brings our inner child out, which is good.
-I think both of us need that sometimes. -Yeah.
Um… it was good to see Dylan.
Okay. I'm so confused
because one second you're like, "I don't really know about this man."
-I look over, you're like, "Hi, guys!" -I'm up under him.
Yeah, exactly. I'm like, "Suede, I'm confused. What's the vibe?"
I knew you were gonna say something.
Did you see the hickey on his neck, by the way?
I don't know if it was a hickey, a bug bite, a pimple, bruise.
Suede, bruise?
Yeah.
Yeah, babe, that's a hickey.
I don't even wanna look in his direction, but I, like… when he first walked in,
I was like, "What the hell is that? What?"
-I don't know. -What else--
It's like, how many chances this early on, dude? Like…
I saw the mark on his neck. I didn't want to say or do anything
'cause it's like, I don't want to ask
and hear an answer that I don't want to hear.
Which it's like, I don't even know why I keep chasing him.
But then you know this, and I know you know…
And I do the opposite.
I'm like, I fall on my knees, "Oh my God, Dylan."
It's so embarrassing because I care about him.
It's just red flag after red flag, and I just want the best for you.
Like I said, I see so much good in him.
Like, he really is a cool kid. Like, he doesn't piss me off.
-He has a great sense of humor. -"He doesn't piss me off," babe.
And by the way, he's sober. Like, that right there…
a hundred brownie points.
The path she's going, I've seen it before.
It's one of those situations where the guy can do whatever the hell he wants,
and she'll take it. She'll make excuses for him.
Kind of like what I'm doing for Suede, she's doing for Dylan.
It's like, it hurts my heart because I don't want her looking stupid.
But, again, it's just something she has to experience at this point.
Honestly, I was trying my best to just get my mind off of it.
At the end of the day, I didn't want to be crying my eyes out at the carnival.
I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.
And I also don't want to look for something bad.
-Not looking to find something negative… -That was really hard to miss, by the way.
Like, it was blaring.
I don't know if he's intimate with other girls.
I don't know what he's doing out there, so it's like…
Okay. Like, Suede.
-He has to be, if not… I mean, I knew it. -He is.
I mean, I heard he went on a date…
two nights ago
with Emilie's best friend.
But then he shows up to the carnival all lovey-dovey on me
and wants to hang out with me. It's like, why?
-It was just talk of the town. -For what? For what?
You know? I just don't know.
I'm getting to the point where I'm like, "I don't want to be played around with."
I'm in this constant cycle with Dylan now, and I feel like I'm talking in circles.
By the way, this is why I don't like this man.
But that… my feelings aside, it's your feelings that matter.
Like, what… what do you want to do?
Do you want to talk to him? What would you say?
He's not gonna be like, "Yes, Suede, I have mental problems."
No. But I think it's a conversation I got to have with him,
which is gonna be tough.
I feel disrespected, and I feel hurt.
When I'm hearing that you're dating other girls behind my back,
and then he was being extra lovey to me yesterday.
It was just like a slap in the face.
You're hanging out in my home with my cat,
like we were playing house for a little bit.
So whatever this is, it feels like we're together.
And, like, now you're embarrassing me.
I don't know.
I'm just, like, I'm confused. I don't know what to do.
If he doesn't like me, just tell me. Tell me you don't want me.
He needs to learn how to communicate those feelings and how he really feels.
It almost feels like he's doing these things on purpose
just for him to be like, "Oh, is she gonna say something?"
-It's sick. -It's sick. Negative and sick.
Yeah.
Been feeling down
And can't snap out of it
I've been better than this
I've been better
-I've been better than this -I've been, I've been better
I've been better
I've been better than this
