"If I could leave this nightmare marriage and be with you? I would...in a heartbeat."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For Landon to admit that clued Genevieve in on the fact that he was truly suffering in his relationship. He was a man that was all about loyalty and trust. But how much loyalty do you give to someone who treats you so horribly? Even the most resilient of people can have their spirits worn down.
While he spoke as if his intentions were purely on romance with her, she couldn't help but think of his needs. Even if he did not want to be with her, Genevieve knew just how important it was for Landon to be able to take control of his life; To know his worth. Gently, she took one of his hands in her own, brushing her thumb against a couple of his knuckles in an attempt to soothe him.
"I know what she has done to you, ...and I know that it's done you some harm. And I know it may feel as if - you're stuck, but... I promise you that you're not, Landon. If you don't feel loved anymore, if you don't feel respected anymore? If you can't seem to work out the problems in your marriage, you can leave. Even if you really don't want to be with me. ...Even if you really don't want to be with anyone. Regardless, I would help you."

Landon's little scenario about them running for class president made Genevieve shake her head with a light chuckle. If only things were that simple now. It was funny how she used to worry about paying bills and what shoes went with what dress. What time was her next business meeting, and on what day did she schedule to get her oil changed. ...Now they were just simply trying to not get infected. The collapse of society really brought to light about what mattered less....and what actually mattered more. "Oh, I don't know about all of that. You're quite charming, too, Lan Lan." She remarked while moving sticking close to him.
When he had called attention to the case that had a map of the school, Genevieve squinted her eyes and leaned in to get a closer look. Well - until Landon pulled out the hammer and told her to stand clear. These days, breaking and entering was the best way to get into most places. While her man cracked the glass with the tool, she folded her arms over her chest and looked around their surroundings to see if they stirred someone or something. You can never be so certain these days, but... she didn't hear any shuffling feet or snarling. So, they should be fine.
By the time Genevieve turned her focus back to Landon, he was retrieving the map out of the case. Peeking over to look down at the map, she unclasped her flashlight from her shirt and shone a light on it. "Keys to the kingdom, baby!" She exclaimed with him as her eyes scanned over the printed map. With her index finger, she tapped on a specific spot. "Looks like the cafeteria is here - not too far away from the lobby area. Annnnd... the basement looks like it's just pass these bathrooms." Genevieve continued as she moved her finger over to circle a different area on the map.
"You know - I survived eating a bag of potato chips that was three years old, so I hope the cafeteria stock won't be worse than that." She said with a tiny scrunch of her nose. "And hey - they might even have something chocolate-flavored." She mentioned, knowing that chocolate anything would absolutely have him in a chokehold. Turning back to look at the case, she reached in and carefully picked up a 'Debate Team' trophy. "I'm decorating the cafeteria with this. ...I used to be on the debate team."

Moving over to where she read the presidential poster, he had to smile. Yeah they definitely should vote for who would be a total popular candidate. “How about most popular girl versus the resident nerd?” Offering the suggestion with a little tease confirmed his meaning. One rambling journalist going head to head with one sly attorney would have made everybody sweat. The chemistry alone is off the charts. Even now as they found themselves in each other’s arms day to day, Landon still believes in starting something. With Gen he will always believe they can have a life. End the world never stops dreamers does it?
“We all know you’d win. Always had the knack for it, Genny B.” The man’s tone grew softer their current predicament calls for because they need to focus. Would be amazing to sleep peacefully tonight; he sighed, dragging a hand down along her arm. “Cafeteria is a good spot for us to set up as a meeting spot. Could probably find some stuff in stock that hasn’t gone bad. Cross your fingers. But yeah I think around there or the custodial.”
Landon also would love to get some running water. Luckily for them this place should have gymnasium showers. “Down here,” he surmised, shifting his light to a marker on the wall. A little section for posters and bulletins were in the same area. Makes sense considering their student president announcements. “Whoa look!” Taking her by the hand and pulling her over, he tapped at the glass case. Never mind trophies there’s a damn building map in there “Looks like they remodeled before things – changed. Means good news for us.” He let go to slide hands along the edges of this case. Seams are there but a lock is obvious.
“Okay step back.” He shrugged his backpack off, kneeling down on the floor to go through. Pulling a hammer from within, Landon posed it offer the glass. One. Two. Three… smashing forward in one angled swing cracked through, another motion to drive it home busting entirely. Knocking out loose pieces to avoid cutting himself, he reached in to unpin the new layout. “Got it! We have the keys to our kingdom, Gen. Now we can find everything.” Fuck things are going well for once. Time to keep it in check just in case things start going the other way, he knows. @lavishbylaw // prev

" wait a minute, you're blaming me?! "
Tumblr media
“So, now we want to use words like ‘blame’, do we? I was simply telling it how it is, but since you want to say that? Then yes, Elijah. I’m blaming you because it’s your fault!” Genevieve responded with a shake of her head. Soon, she turns her back on him, refusing to look in his general direction.
“You just... act like you don’t care about anyone besides yourself. You act like you don’t need anyone. You’re stubborn about everything. I just... wanted you to spend this one holiday with me and my family. But that’s asking too much of you, isn’t it? Now, they think that I’m just finding some excuse to avoid them for a case or something. ...It’s your fault.”

"Happy birthday, Genevieve." Elijah approached with a tiny, sorry if crooked looking, cupcake. It might have been one of those cake in a cup microwavable ones, something Chloe was sure even HE couldn't mess up, but he tried his best to dress it up and make it look pretty worn pink icing and a single lit candle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Genevieve was definitely surprised to see Elijah appear with such a -- quite literally -- sweet gift. In her eyes, she saw no faults in the treat. Her perspective of it was that it was unique, cute, and that it came from Elijah. In other words? The cupcake was absolutely perfect.
"Awh, look how cute it is!" She exclaimed a little while accepting the cupcake in her hands, making sure to be careful with it as to not extinguish the flame atop of it just yet. "Thank you, Elijah. You didn't have to do this. And - I would make a wish, but... what I want is already here with me, so..." Her sentence came to a pause as she blew a bit of air at the flame, causing the candle to be lit no more. "Yay! Happy Birthday to me!"

"I know I said we'd do dinner but I sort of lied about that being it." Landon smiled, offering her a light pink envelope. A pair of plane tickets for them to get out of the city were inside. A proper vacation away straight to the Bahamas. "Happy birthday, Genny B."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A look of curiosity affixed to Genevieve's face as she was offered the pastel-colored envelope. But as she took the envelope in her hands, she glanced up to Landon with a warm smile. Now, this isn't exactly what she expected. Maybe it's some sort of voucher for a service or product? Even if it were only just some sweet words, she'd be thankful for it.
"Oh my - what are you up to, Boo Barry?" She inquired of him as she thumbed the fold of the envelope to being to open it. Once the seal of the paper was broken, she retrieved what had been enclosed inside of it. "Let's see..."
Briefly scanning over the printed information on -- what seemed to be -- plane tickets, Genevieve's eyebrows hitched upwards as she looked back up to Landon. "Wait - Are these real? ...You're taking me to the Bahamas? Oh, my god -- And I know these were expensive, too!"

Heaven only knows how many times Genevieve has been through this same spiel with this man. It just seemed like every time that she attempts to end - whatever this was that they had going on, she would hopelessly fail and sucked right back into the cycle. But this time will be different. ...Right? The thousandth time is definitely the charm.
"Wow..." She softly uttered as she squinted her eyes at him, as if she couldn't believe what he said. But this was Keith. Of course he would say something like that. Trying her absolute best to ignore his touch, the attorney just shook her head. "You're definitely an asshole, yeah. And I didn't come over here for - all of that. I came to tell you that... I can't do this with you anymore. I mean - I got a lot of cases on my plate right now. Things that I have to be... a hundred percent focused on."
open to: f muse: keith | 27 | straight plot: i'm thinking your muse came over to break up /stop having sex with keith bc that's the smart thing to do but the flesh is weak
Tumblr media
"i know you miss me...'cause you already knew i was an asshole before you came here, and you came anyway," keith rested his hands on their waist. "just say what you gotta say or take yo' clothes off."

"Get dressed. We are going for dinner."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Genevieve took the gifts with a couple of blinks of her eyes. Of all people to be celebratory of any occasion, she didn't expect Ava to be someone who was.
"Can I at least ask where we're going? And - wow. These are some... really expensive gifts. I mean -- I'll have to redo my hair and my makeup -- and I'll have to see what jewelry goes best with these dress. Oh, my god -- I need at least an hour." Genevieve rambled on as she started to look over the vibrant shoes that she held in her hands.

❝Since it is your birthday - and happy birthday - I decided to reserve a spot at one of those fancy restaurants not too far from here. Figured you deserve food and maybe a drink or two. We still have a bit of time before then. So, we can spend it on whatever you want to do.❞
There goes Vasco, popping out of nowhere. Not exactly nowhere, but it appeared to be like that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"...You've really planned an evening out with me?" She asked, completely surprised by the kind gesture. A fancy restaurant that calls for the need to reserve a table? That definitely wasn't some spur-of-the-moment sort of deal. That means that Vasco actually put some thought into it. Suddenly, she moved in and wrapped her arms around him.
"Awh! That's so sweet of you. So, thank you. Food and drinks sounds like a good time to me." Genevieve announced her gratitude while embracing him in the hug. However, she pulled away from the hold with a pensive expression on her face. "Hm... You know what sounds fun? Blackjack at a casino. Would you be up for doing that?"

[ ALONE ] : our muses find one another alone in an isolated setting.
So, it seems the thunderstorm rolled in quicker than once anticipated. The rain sounded quite ferocious outside, and with the thunder and lightning to match. In fact, it’d been going on for about ten minutes already with no signs of stopping anytime soon. Well, it was a good excuse to keep the both of them here and away from everyone else. In fact, Genevieve took the opportunity to set up some candles with a lovely lavender scent. Not only would they be handy in case of any electrical outages, but... it set the mood to something calmer.
With the last candle set, she turned her attention fully to Landon. A smile came upon her lips as she moved closer to him, not uttering a single word. Without even the most simple warning, she mounted his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. She learned her face into his and started to press soft pecks into his lips. At least they could be... occupied for a bit - even if only through just kisses.
“Mm.. I love your kisses so much. ...I’m sorry that the storm has us trapped. I know that you were looking forward to that interview.”

"Awh -- Well, let's ease that tension away as soon as possible. And if all it takes is just a bit of grooming, I'm your girl for the job." She proclaimed, only to pat the palm of her hand down against the spot next to her on the couch. "Get settled in, Mr. King. My brush awaits you."

"I fail to see where the issue is here. You know - I've had a pretty tense day. I bet those flicks of the wrist would set me right real quick."

[ SLEEVES ] : sender rolls up their sleeves to reveal their forearms. ( Lance 👀 )
There was always a bit of excitement when she found something new that she liked. This weekend, she purchased a new sleek desk for her home office. It was a white marble desk - and she paid a pretty penny for it, too. The only problem seemed to have been... that it didn’t really come completely set up. So, she may have called in that favor from that neighbor of hers. And here she stood, watching Lance roll up his sleeves as if he were ready for some work. 
She tilted her head a bit to the side, placing one of her index fingers to her chin in thought. That was definitely a sexy man thing. It enumerated confidence - signified that he knew exactly what he was doing. 
“I’m sorry for calling you over such short notice... I bet you have a thousand better things to do than put together a silly desk. ...I definitely owe you one, Lance.”

⚔️  -  a  starter  where  our  muses  are  fighting  and  my  muse  admits  their  feelings  for  yours.
“Corvus - sometimes, I really just can’t believe you. The way that your attitude is about practically everything -” Genevieve rambled off to him, crossing her arms over her chest in frustration. With a shake of her head, she decided to stand her ground with him for now. 
“It’s - as if - if you just don’t give a damn about what I say! You just - become so dismissive to me. But - you’re just dismissive to everything, right? So, that makes me... just like anyone or anything else in your eyes.” The last part of her proclamation was followed by her eyes casting down to the floor. No, she couldn’t even look at him in this moment. 
Tumblr media
“You.. I... I love you, Corvus. I’ve loved you since I could ever define what the word ‘love’ means. But... you and I are from different sides of a spectrum. What I see and what I feel... probably isn’t mutual.” Her tone was a bit more solemn, but she still kept her head turned away from him. “Maybe... I should just go.”

"how about we don’t do that.” - Saori
A suggestion had been made about how a certain situation could be handled. Genevieve thought that the idea was a sound one. Of course she did - the idea was hers after all. But Saori obviously didn’t agree with it. Regardless of it all, they needed to be on the same page before this day was over with.
Tumblr media
“...Okay. So, you don’t want to play in the field - which could be easy to do. A hidden recorder and talking to that witness at the nightclub could benefit us so much - but... if you’re so... opposed on doing that, then I’m assuming that you have a better idea?” Genevieve asked with a raise of her eyebrow as she pinched the zipper of her beige briefcase to slowly zip it shut.

Even in the face of Genevieve's "threats", Jake still seemed to be dedicated in his pursuit. Words of the tongue and declaration of promises really was miniscule in comparison to action. Nevertheless, she simply smiled to him and placed the tip of her finger against his chest.
"...Come to my house tonight. Ring my doorbell and then knock two times. I'll show you what it's worth."
Jake smiled a little at her response, his eyes meeting hers. "I welcome the problems if that's the prize." He teasee, his attention devoted to her.

"You are so pretty! Whats your skin care routine?"
Tumblr media
"Awe, I appreciate the compliment! You're extremely pretty, too! But I think my skin care routine is pretty basic compared to some other extreme ones. I usually wash my face with lukewarm water - and then cold water right afterwards. Following that, I just use hydrating serum and moisturizer. Of course, if I'm having some sort of breakout, I always have curing cream in stock! But honestly? You don't need my skin care routine. You seem to be perfect with what you're doing now."

The man had been lost in his own world, her words brought him back a small smile formed on his lips as he looked up to her. “I like being here,” he assured quietly looking up to Gen, “It is nice to not be alone.” The women had been an unexpected friend, maybe something more that Michael didn’t think he’d find so soon.
Tumblr media
She’d been a little hesitant about her next action, but... she soon found the courage to take a hold of his hand. In a gentle caress is how she carried Michael’s hand, her eyes soon lifting to view his face again. It had been a refreshing change to have someone who was so caring around. And someone that was really sweet. He was a whole lot different than what she was used to.
“Well, you’d never have to be alone anymore. As long as you... don’t want to be. Besides...” She turned a bit more towards him, sitting up on her knees on the couch as she continued to hold onto his hand. “I feel safe when you’re here. I - can’t explain it, but... I feel like nothing could harm me while you’re here. It’s a good feeling - a great feeling.”
