Season 8-
"Enjoy." Ivy smiled at the men who she had just seated before catching up to Fiona "so no more tinder huh?"
"Nope Ivy I'm done with it. No more pointless sex bent over a dirty sink in a club bathroom or scraping my ass on a rusty alley dumpster with my underwear pushed down around my ankles. Eat your food." Fiona glared at this man who had his eyes all over her as she walked past
"eyes up bud." Ivy hit his back making him groan "pathetic I didn't hit that hard ."
"A few weeks ago I had this joker. He cums and then bursts out crying. Turns out his wife had just dumped him . I was stuck there for like an hour consoling him when all I really wanted was to go home to my own bed."
"You could have just left."
"What kind of person would I be if I just left him there like that?"
"The kind of person who uses tinder to intentionally avoid intimacy on an almost daily basis ."
"It's not daily Ivy, I just can't be that person who wakes up in the wet spot of some guys whose name I can't even remembers bed again."
"I would kill for a wet spot . With Alex on nights and me on days I barely see him. Much less make a mess on the sheets."
"That the boy you met at the nightclub?"
"Mhm. It's going good between us."
"You sure?"
"No. I'm pretty sure he's cheating."
"Confront his ass then."
"I like the attention I get from him though."
"Confront his ass Ivy."
"But I'm not sure if he is cheating."
"I can help you find out."
"Really?"
"Yeah but for now go give those men who keep eying you down their food."
"Lifesaver."
Ivy then gave the men their food before clocking out and heading back home.

"Namaste namaste namaste." Frank shook his hands as he slid into the kitchen where Carl and Ivy where
"Where the hell have you been?" Carl asked
"You look like shit frank."
"Thanks Ivy, I've been in mourning and meditation after the death of your mother , acceptance , resurrection , enlightenment. And... we have to dent the existence of a permanent entity that remains constant behind the changing corporal and incorporal components of a living being . All things are in a constant star of flux . All is changing and no permanent state exists by itself your mother—- holy buddha may her soul rest— stole my chakra when I was 20 years old, and she kept it till her death , now she's gone . And I'm free."
"We're you listening Carl cause I sure wasn't?"
"Nope , you need anything ironed?"
"I'm gonna get in the shower , unless you guys were planning on taking a shower soon." Frank blurted
"No Carl I don't need anything ironed and Frank get out."
"I need a shower though."
"Shower then out."
"I'll consider."
Then after frank wondered off upstairs a horn went off outside and a grin appeared on carls face and he rushed out pulling Ivy behind him.
"It's beautiful."
"Shit Carl you bought us a hot tub?"
"Yes I did."
"Oh my god I cant wait. You use your meth money to buy it?"
"Yeah."
"Money put to good use."
"That's what I said but Fiona disagreed."
"Screw what Fiona said she disagrees with all of everyone's decisions."
"Mhm."
————
"Hey." She caught the attention of Carl , Liam and Ian who were relaxing in the hot tub.
"What up? Hop in." Carl smirked
"I don't got a swimming costume."
"Just get in , in your clothes Ivy no one here cares." Ian chuckled
"White tops go see through Ian."
"Like I said no one cares."
"Fine."
Ivy then slowly lowered herself in the hot tub enjoying the warmth and getting in a comfy position
"It's nice huh?"
"Yeah Carl , great purchase. How was school Liam?"
"They won't stop bringing me out for the tours as I'm the only black kid."
"Jesus really?"
"Yup."
"Must be tiring?"
"Exhausting."
"Ooo big words."
"Whoa! It came out great Carl!" Frank smiled
"Where the hell have you been!" Ian asked
"Jesus no I don't need the long ass chat he gave me and Carl earlier to come out of his mouth again."
"Smoked up all my meth."
"God I did not hear you say that."
"It's cause I only told Carl. May I?" Frank pointed at the water
"Sure." Carl replied
He then started to strip only to get in butt naked which wasn't the best sight for everyone
"Frank god."
"What I thought it was okay since your not wearing a swimming costume and your top is see through?"
"Why are you looking?" Ian butted in
"I wasn't but it was obvious."
"I'm getting out."
"No Ivy don't go."
"Shut up frank."
"I'll come with." Ian hopped out and gave Ivy his towel so she could cover herself up
"Fucking perv." She scoffed "you seen Alicia recently?"
"Nope not for awhile I think she's been staying at a friends house this past week as there's nowhere for her to sleep"
"I warned her that before I flew her out here last year."
"Yeah well she couldn't live in England by herself Ivy."
"She won't answer my texts."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Neither will Alex . I think he's cheating , Fiona said she would help me find out but what if I'm just overthinking everything."
"You do overthink a lot."
"Thanks Ian."
"Didn't mean for it to sound rude." He pretended to surrender before throwing Ivy a spare shirt as hers were in the wash.
"I have like 2 other shirts I could wear . You didn't need to give me this."
"Looks better on you , keep it."
"Thanks. You got spray ? I ran out."
"Mhm here."
She then coated herself in Ian's spray which she didn't realise was super strong and literally almost killed her but it smelt good.
"That is so strong."
"Goodnight Ivy." He laughed
"Night."
—————
"This music , you okay?" Ivy chuckled as she walked into the garden where Ian was
"Oh other then crying into some fat fucking furry strangers arms tonight, I'm great."
"Wanna talk about it? Can i come in?"
"Knock yourself out."
"What's going on?" Ivy asked , she was now in the burning hot tub sitting next to Ian.
"Nothing , it's stupid. How's work?"
"Patsy's is busy. Tell me what's going on."
"Mm. it's embarrassing."
"Okay."
"Trevor said that hooking up with a chub would make me feel better about Monica but it don't. I feel worse."
"Really? You're upset she died."
"Everyone else has moved on and I haven't."
"I moved on while she was alive Ian."
"Well I guess I'm the family freak for not wanting to forget about her."
"I don't think you're a freak cause you don't wanna forget about her."
"Thanks."
"I think you're a freak cause you cried in a fat dudes arms"
He then splashed her face with water
"I was trying to not get my hair wet!"
"Too bad." He then cupped water in his hands and poured it on ivys head making her splash him back and complain constantly about her hair "it's hair , it'll dry"
"Dick." She laughed
