No Diggity [Jo]

[JoHanna K Roberts]

“ I know exactly what type of celebrity he is,” she said almost angrily before she hopped off of Rory’s bed, noticing that she was finishing up on finding her outfit. She went to Rory’s dock, scrolling through her phone before she put her phone on shuffle and set it on the dock, turning the volume up. “ Braid?” she questioned Rory, pointing at her hair lazily. She could wait until she was done getting dressed, and for some reason it always took a little longer to make the braids look messy. Jo sat down at the vanity, looking over Rory’s make up before she picked up her lip gloss and put it on.

“ Besides I kind of did steal something from his wardrobe,” she said, avoiding looking at Rory’s glance in the mirror before she turned around. “ I just thought that one of his rings would look really cool on a necklace. Not cause it’s his, gross. But it’s a really pretty ruby red,” she said, making a pained face at Rory. “ I’m not qualified to do any other jobs if I get fired,” she said honestly, “ I’m not a nice person. I mean I am. To smart people. Which is like.. a select group,” she said before setting the lip gloss down

"Okay and what kind of person is he then?" Rory asked after she'd put a skirt and shirt on, and then pulled her tall socks on.  "You took a ring?" Rory laughed, "Well whatever, you're not dumb enough to wear it to set obviously."  Rory moved over to the vanity and began to braid Jo's hair, thinking out loud, "Well just don't get fired then."  As if it were that simple.  She didn't think Jo would, how much attention did those people really pay to interns?  Rory was quiet for a few minutes while she finished braiding Jo's hair.  After she was done she pulled her laptop closer to her and opened it, "I'm gonna google stalk him, what's his real name?  Kelin O'Reilly..." she said after looking it up.  Rory laughed whimsically while she scrolled through pictures, "Sexayy, think he's related to Declan O'Reilly?" she asked, tying up the laces of her doc martens and then pushed her socks down so they were scrunched up.

“ An idiot kind of person,” she said as though it were obvious. She looked in the mirror as Rory started braiding her hair and when she had finished, pulled a couple of strands to frame her face before she stood up and walked away from the vanity. “…. Yeah, he’s sexy,” she said quietly, because mainly it was just annoying. But when Rory questioned whether or not he was related to Declan, what were the odds on that? “ No, there’s no way. They’re just both from Ireland. I think everyone there is named O’Reilly,… or shamrock or something.” she said before looking over to see what else she had on her phone. “ That there, is that Rosie O’Reilly?” she asked, pointing at one of the pictures. “ Hm..” she said, straightening up as she stood with her arms crossed. “No..” she said, as though it were impossible that Ethan Fox and Kelin could play six degrees of separation or whatever the hell that game was with the two girls standing in this room.

Rory scoffed playfully, "Yeah just a little bit sexy."  She guessed Jo was right, what were the odds of them actually being related?  Rory scooted over so Jo could look at the screen, "Yeah that's Rosie that was in the store today.  Like, damn she's tall in person.  So is Ethan..." she trailed off, remembering their conversation.  Rory scrolled through pictures and stopped immediately on one in particular, "Wait wait wait," she said, reading the caption, "Cousins Declan O'Reilly and Kelin O'Reilly at the premiere for blah blah blah, seriously?"  Rory shut the laptop, "Well whatever, don't all celebrities like know each other at some time or another?"  Rory decided to stay off google for the rest of the night.

Jo made a face as Rory suggested that Kelin was sexy. For some reason it was the most annoying thing on the earth how all of the girls on set seemed to live for every movement he made. Gross. “She looks like she has really good boobs in person,” Jo said lazily, not even really paying attention to the words coming out of her own mouth. She sighed, thinking of how Kelin and Ethan must know each other. It was ridiculous how small the world was – but of course Kelin rubbed elbows with models. Cause why wouldn’t he. Lovely. “ Yeah..” she said after Rory shut the lap top. “ Whatever, he isn’t even worth thinking about. He’s a…façade. Ethan however, very real, very flirtatious it sounds like. Very possible,” she said, making her way to the kitchen to find herself a bottle of water.

Giving Kelin a second thought when she got home was just giving him credit that he didn’t deserve. It was one thing to have to try and talk to the set directors while being an intern, but really she never worked with him. And she’d be damned before she was going to be one of those girls who started chasing him around like a puppy dog. Though, she looked over at Rory, she kind of seemed like she was having puppy love at the moment. She scrunched her nose, thinking about how terrible love was. “I’m gonna perform Jolene tonight,” she said decisively before giving a nod.

Rory left her room to pour herself a glass of water and leaned against the counter, drinking it and thinking.  It was all just a little too abrupt for her liking.  This morning she woke up and everything was boring and normal and now things were a little confusing and giving her heart a work out.  Boys were scary things.  They were strong and confusing and sort of infuriating and sometimes they hurt your feelings and Rory's feelings didn't take well to getting hurt.  She was an unfortunate sensitive flower, and it was slightly pathetic.  What if this was all nothing and she was getting herself all worked up just to be disappointed, which was most likely what would happen.  He was engaged for Christs sake, get it together Rory.  

Rory started laughing when Jo said she was going to sing Jolene tonight, because come on, it was sort of funny.  "Please, please do.  It would make my whole day a hundred times better."  And it would because the irony of it was a nice reality check that it wasn't ever going to happen.  Rory put her glass in the sink and decided once and for all to just forget about Ethan Fox.

Jo downed her bottle of water, scrunching her nose at how cold it was before she tossed it into the trashcan and stretched her arms out in front of herself. She already didn’t want to do this, but she figured it would be nice to pay the electricity bill. She nodded as Rory agreed that she should sing Jolene. It wasn’t hard to switch up the set because Rory had picked guitar up so quickly. “Okay,” she said tilting her neck side to side. “ Wanna stop and grab something to eat from the truck on the way home?” she said before turning the volume up on their music.

Rory glanced into the mirror on to the wall and fluffed her hair, smoothing down a few fly aways before re messing it up for good measure.  Jo had turned up the music and Rory felt her hips start to sway  of their own accord as she adjusted her makeup, "Yes please, King Wubbz for the win."  Rory and Jo had gotten themselves on fairly good terms with a food truck that parked in their neighborhood and he seemed to like the pair of them.  On a good day there was a pretty decent chance he'd give them food for free, so that was almost always.  Falafel pitas were a commonality in Rory's diet.  From there on out Rory had went into full on dance party mode until they left the apartment, which meant dancing on the couch and letting Jo rap all the parts she didn't know.  She had that thing for old school rap and all that.  "We should have a party this weekend before the semester starts."

Jo looked over at Rory as she suggested that they throw a party. She scrunched her nose, thinking about all of the work that she had to do to get ready for her semester, and her first week was slammed. She puffed her cheeks out considering it, knowing that Rory would win out eventually anyway. “Okay,” she said, even though she wasn’t necessarily a party person. People were idiots and when there were a lot of them in your place, it was really annoying. “ I gotta bag it upp… We out,” she said playfully to end the song before placing Rory’s hat on her pretty blonde hair and opened the front door for her.
