"Please, I'm not on the list of people you need to impress with your hellos." There were a lot of people above her on the serpent totem pole and yet there he was standing in front of her. "Still part of me, so I'm going to take the compliment." She taunted him, not budging from using his own words to her advantage. "You're saying that you happen to just appear everywhere I am then? Henry, you've got to see how much that doesn't help your case." Pushing his buttons was only the beginning of her amusement, the annoyed tone of his voice also bringing a smile to her face. Aspen liked seeing just how much she could push his buttons, especially when he was within arms reach. "I didn't ask you to come, you showed up because you wanted to see me." She began, taking a step closer before sliding her hand slowly up his chest. "You should be the one taking your own advice." She told him, finally allowing her eyes to meet his. "What are you so afraid of, Henry?"

"I only came over here because it would've been inconsiderate if I didn't," he told her, shrugging. He needed to try and be a somewhat decent person, given who he was. "I didn't call you cute. Just your delusions, Aspen," he stated, gaze narrowing at the blonde. He wasn't going to bow out or give in. Henry scoffed at the blonde's words, wondering if she irritated everyone as much as she annoyed him. "Aspen," he said, an airy laugh escaping his lips. "Look at who I am. Do you honestly believe I have enough free time in my days to devote to following you around? I have to do lists that are miles long. Even if I did have the spare time, there's no way I'd dedicate it to you of all people," he told her, shaking his head once again. She was infuriating, and while he knew he allowed her to get beneath his skin in the first place, he still didn't like the fact that she did. "You're the one who wanted me there because you wanted me to fuck you. It's okay to fess up to that. You're not gonna get crucified for it."

The news was unavoidable, but the only thing Aspen could think about was what was going on in Dante's head. His announcement was firm, the tone leaving behind a lingering feeling in the pit of her stomach. There was something intoxicating about when he took control, he could have said anything and had her attention. “Why would I do something that stupid?” She questioned when he opened the door before stepping inside. “We using glasses or drinking out of the bottle?”

There were very few people Dante had the desire to be around but he supposed some kind of company would stop him going completely batshit crazy and so he invited Aspen over. She was one of the only people he could stand to see so soon after everything and he didn't trust Griffin not to make smart ass comments. The second he heard the knock on the door he walked over and pulled it open, wide enough for her to walk straight in. "Don't you dare ask me how I am, you're here to drink with me got it?"

[aspenlynch]

"Fine fine, no princesses." She said with a shrug, they'd have to save the movie for their next girl's night. She placed all their drinks onto a tray, meeting the three of them in the living room just in time for everyone to be getting comfortable in their seats. After passing them out she found her own, pressing play on the movie as she began eating the pizza. It didn't take long after the food disappeared for the blonde to notice both twins start to doze off, at this rate the two would be fast asleep before the credit appeared on screen. "Just a little longer and we'll be able to move them." She whispered in Griffin's direction. "Are you going to want to finish the movie once they're in bed?"

"Just not in the mood for that one." He said bluntly, Aspen would get over it. "Sounds like a plan." Griffin was starting to get this twin thing down, sure it was easier with just Rae but he would never go back now. He wasn't sure if Ella came back he'd be able to give up the little dude. Once they were al ready he move back to the living room. "Its on the table" He said as he unfolded the tv tables for them to put the plates out. Griffin grabbed the pizza and set it out for them, now it was cooled off. "You guys ready for a movie." He said as he dropped onto the couch next to them.

[aspenlynch]

"Exactly — Thank you. You just need to pick your words better." She told him, though still in disbelief that he'd been waiting to have this conversation with her. "Wait, go back...kidnapped? The man has so much money and he wouldn't help you? He's a real Dad of the year." Sure Aspen had her own issues with her father, though it didn't compare to the things Nico had to deal with due to his lack of attention. He was throwing a lot of information at her at once, most of which she'd need more than a couple hours to wrap her head around. "Right...we'll see about that. This is not what I was expecting to find out tonight." She sighed. "I guess I'll see you around."

END.

"My bad." He shrugged, he didn't really care, he was trying to be noticed. "Yeah, hearing it back I kinda see what you are saying. Does sound kinda gross." but he moved on, "He knows about me yeah, he knows about the whole kidnapped thing too. Refused to pay them. It was kinda shitty. I was missing for six years after that. Fun times. Thanks dad. That's how I found out anyway. They told me." It seemed everyone else knew but him. "Makes sense though, my father did always hate me, said I was a mistake and all that. water under the bridge right, Don't believe me you can look me up. Well, anyway. This was fun. I'll give ya some time to process and then we can hang out or something."

[aspenlynch]

"Maybe, but no one forced you to come over and talk to me, that was all you." Her words were sharp on the edge of her tongue, the annoyance lingering on every vowel. "There you go calling me cute again, what's truly adorable is how far you'll go to pretend you're not attracted to me." She let out a laugh as she looked at him, the back and forth between them causing a spark in the pit of her stomach. It was something that only seemed to happen in his presence, nonetheless Aspen would swallow the feeling down like she did with every feeling that could be used against her. "It must be very amusing, seeing as you seem to appear everywhere I go. How can I be sure you're not following me?" She questioned before scoffing in his direction. "I don't beg, you showed up that night because you wanted to. Admit it."

"Did it ever occur to you that I just don't come here when you're here?" he questioned, tone laced with an unmistakable element of annoyance. She still irked him, no matter how much he attempted to not let that be the case. "That's cute," he said, a low chuckle escaping his lips before his tongue clicked against the roof of his mouth. "You think you're the decider on relevance? Keep living in your delusional world, Aspen, it's kind of amusing." Henry looked her over once more, emitting a soft hum. "I'm not so sure I'd be the lucky one," he told her, tsking. "I wasn't the one practically begging you to show up that night."

Rosa: Everybody either betrays me, leaves me, hurts me or dies. I can't do it anymore. Rosa: I don't want to do this anymore. Aspen: You know I'd never do that to you. Aspen: Rosa, you have me. Aspen: Please, you can't...I need you.

“Yeah a tourist attraction wasn’t what I was going for when I designed the place. I wanted more and no stupid jokes about when Elvis was going to enter the building.” Aspen took pride in her design, something more modern and elegant than a classy casino in Las Vegas. “Typically I put all bartenders through a trial run with me, landing the job depends on how many drinks it takes for me to get a decent buzz. Though we have one bartender in particular, Marco, if he serves you anything you’ll be drunk without tasting a single drop of liquor at all — the man is a wizard behind the counter.”

"Honestly I've always found casinos a little too... gauche for my taste, but I do have to say that I like what you've done with this one," Eloise remarks, freely offering her approval even though it has not been requested. "And thank God your bartenders know how to make a proper martini, it feels like a lost art at some of these supposed 'high end' boutique bars these days."

[aspenlynch]

“Clearly not all the time if i’ve never seen you until now.” She told him before shrugging her shoulders. “Maybe that shows how irrelevant you are.” She taunted him, taking a step closer. Getting under his skin was easy, the reaction alone causing her amusement. “I didn’t say it would, you’d be lucky to ever see me like that again.” Aspen would never admit to enjoying their time together especially verbally, she couldn’t give him that satisfaction. Like her Henry had his own way of pushing her buttons and now that they were face to face again she couldn’t tell you what to was going to happen.

Henry should've kept his distance from her and found some other place to be as soon as he realized she was there, but he was far too stubborn to do anything of the sort. If anyone was going to leave, it should've been her. "I'm here all the time," he argued, annoyed. The male scoffed at her words, unable to stop himself from rolling his eyes at her. He hated how she was already getting beneath his skin, and they'd only been speaking for a few minutes. "That's not going to happen again. That was a one time thing." At least, that was what he would tell himself.

[aspenlynch]

Rosa: I can’t do this anymore Rosa: Im sorry I love you Rosa: say bye to griff for me

Aspen: Rosa you can’t talk like this

Aspen: you know how much we love you

Aspen: you’re not alone, i’m not going to leave you alone

[aspenlynch]

She rolled her eyes at the sound of his voice, there they were again — closer proximity than their taunting texts typically allowed. “How can I be following you if I was here first?” She turned her head to look at him, though she was careful not to look in his eyes. “If I remember correctly you’re the one who showed up that night, I’d say it’s you who can’t get enough of me.” The blonde said playfully as her lips curled into a smirk. “Don’t try to pin this on me.”

He shouldn't have been all that surprised to see her, given the fact that they were in public, but he would use it as an excuse to annoy her nevertheless. "You know, I'm beginning to think you're following me around or something now," he said, glancing over at her. "What? You just couldn't get enough of me you had to show up here too?" He questioned as he took a step closer to her, arching a brow.
