18th Floor - Geto Suguru x Reader

You and Suguru have been casually hooking up for awhile. The two of you finally meet up after some time apart and you break the news that you have a boyfriend. The two of you agree on one last hookup before parting ways.

✩ Artwork: JUHi on Twitter (NSFW) ✩ Pairing: Geto Suguru x Reader ✩ Rating: Explicit ✩ Contains: public sex, jealously, cheating, public humiliation, feeling realization ✩ Available on AO3

“Waiting alone for an hour is pathetic enough, getting a sympathy drink takes it to a level I don’t want to experience again.” you glanced behind you, the older man who sent the drink over winked at Suguru.

“I’ll make it up to you.” Suguru tucked a strand of hair behind your ear. “I always do.”

A late summer sunset, an overpriced cocktail at a half empty rooftop bar and Suguru’s shoulder brushing against yours. You rested your elbow on the guard rail, admiring the last few rays of sunshine disappearing behind the cityscape.

“Were you waiting long?” he asked, leaning against the balcony.

You turned towards him, admiring the way a sunset could make even the worst people look warm and inviting.

“I’ll make it up to you.” Suguru tucked a strand of hair behind your ear. “I always do.”

There were worse instances of his lack of care; him leaving you stranded after your birthday bar hopping extravaganza was high on your list. There was also the incident where he hooked up with your ex roommate at your best friend’s wedding. Suguru argued it wasn't hooking up, he was just getting a blowjob. It was always an apology, an excuse, an argument, nothing was ever his fault and yet this time, it was.

“It’s fine.” you replied coolly, staring into the pool of melted ice in your glass. “One more drink and I’ll be going home.”

“Seriously?” Suguru scoffed, glancing at his watch. “Since when do you go home so early?”

“I have someone waiting for me at home.” you gazed up at Suguru. “I think it’s time we end whatever this is.”

“So, I take it this will be our last night together?��

“What makes you think we are hooking up tonight?”

Suguru tugged your arm towards him, pressing your body firmly against his. His finger gently nudged your chin up, giving you a quick wink. “You think your little boyfriend is going to stop me?”

“No,” you wrapped your arms around his neck, your lips hovering over his. “I’m going to stop you.”

Before you could pull away, Suguru pressed his lips against yours, his hand cradling the back of your head to deepen the kiss. You resisted, pressing against his chest and surprisingly, he relented.

Three weeks ago was when Suguru last saw you. When did you find the time to date and get a steady boyfriend? He didn’t see you on the dating apps he trolled to pass time, and you gave zero indication during casual conversation that you were dating.

Suguru could send you a text and within two hours you’d be at his place, naked and writhing under his touch, begging for more. He showed up to your place a few times after one too many drinks with Satoru, and you were both naked within the minute, barely making it to the bedroom half the time.

While your relationship wasn’t serious by any means, it was mutually beneficial when it came to social events. Suguru being able to rely on you as a plus one for work related events was enjoyable for two reasons. One, you made the rounds and talked with Suguru’s coworkers and potential investors, charming them with polite conversation and debates about current affairs. Two, you let him fuck you in his office, leaving the door slightly open so his coworkers could hear your soft moans. By definition, you were single, but Suguru had you in the palm of his hand. Well, he thought he did up until now.

No one could make you feel as good as he did, a fact you admitted more than a few times while bouncing on his cock and cumming for the fifth time. And yet, another man has the sole privilege of being able to fuck you whenever they want. Knowing your sex drive, you two probably fucked on every surface of your apartment by now.

“Listen, maybe we can talk about this–”

“We can have one drink and then I have to go.” you interrupted, hitting send on a text that Suguru didn’t notice you were typing out. “My boyfriend will be home late tonight, so I need to kill some time.”

Suguru forced a smile, motioning towards an empty table a few feet away. You were expecting him to pick a more secluded seating arrangement, waiting for the opportunity to caress your inner thigh and whisper filthy things in your ear.

“Surprised you didn’t pick the back corner.” you stated as he pulled a chair out for you.

“Did you want a more private spot to chat? We can go to my car.” Suguru questioned innocently.

“No thanks.” you responded flatly, opening the menu to look at the lengthy list of cocktails, wines, and craft beers.

Your mind drifted to the day Suguru picked you up from the airport. Your returning flight was delayed twice and the airport was packed, no rideshares or taxis available for the next two hours. Despite him complaining over the phone and making you walk a mile to the short term parking garage, you thanked him profusely by giving him a blowjob in the backseat.

There was another time where he drank too much at a bachelor party and called you, begging for a ride. You heard his friends cackling in the background as he climbed into your backseat, telling him to enjoy his midnight snack. Before you could question why he chose that spot, he told you to hurry up and park somewhere so you could sit on his face. Suguru made you cum twice in the backseat before demanding you drive to his place so he could fuck you in the comfort of his own bed.

Another time, Suguru borrowed Satoru’s car for whatever reason and proposed that the two of you ruin his leather seats as payback for when Satoru–

“Are you going to order or just stare off into space the whole night?” Suguru questioned, interrupting your rumination of car sex escapades.

You felt heat rush to your cheeks as the server smiled and greeted you, pen poised on his notepad ready for your order. After quickly ordering your drink, you turned to Suguru who was staring at you with that stupid smirk again.

“Thinking about all the car sex we had?” he questioned with a wicked grin.

“You’re disgusting.” you scoffed.

“That wasn't a no~” Suguru replied in a sing-song voice. “Does your boyfriend know how much of a freak you are?”

“That’s not your business.”

“I think it is. How else will I know if he’s fucking you right?” Suguru questioned, scooting his chair closer to yours.

“Why do you care?” you questioned, ignoring his hand caressing your knee.

“Is he that gossipy coworker who asked if you were single at the holiday party?” Suguru ran his finger delicately up to your thigh, gauging your reaction. “You’re too afraid of him blabbing his mouth at work and ruining your reputation so you put on this innocent good girl act.”

Your breath hitched as Suguru trailed his finger back down to your knee before returning his hand to the table. The server arrived with your drinks, setting them down on the table and promising to check back in later.

Quickly reaching for your drink and almost knocking it over, you took a long sip and winced as the alcohol hit your stomach. Suguru took a slow sip of his whiskey sour, trying to hide the pleased look on his face.

“You’re right about the coworker part.” you finally answered.

“And the rest?”

“He’s…pretty tame, so I tone it down.”

Suguru took another sip of his drink before placing his hand on your thigh, the coolness of his palm making you shudder. You glanced up at him, his eyes locked on yours as he slowly inched his hand closer to the hem of your skirt, his fingers tracing the underside of the fabric.

“That must be so hard for you.” Suguru whispered, his hand gently nudging your thighs apart.

“He treats me with respect, not like a sex doll.” You retorted, trying to steady your breathing.

You could have closed your legs, pushed his hand away, gotten up and left but you didn’t. Instead you let his hand travel dangerously close to your heated core, not caring if the nearby patrons noticed. Suguru’s eyes darkened as he leaned closer, his lips ghosting over your ear.

“Poor thing, you must be so pent up.” His finger softly pressed against your clothed clit, slowly circling. “Do you have to finish yourself when he cums after five minutes of missionary and falls asleep?”

You pressed your thighs together, but he did not pull his hand back. Suguru used his other hand to lift your chin, gazing deep into your eyes. You bit your tongue, not wanting to give Suguru the satisfaction of knowing his ministrations were getting you worked up. He put more pressure on your clit, circling faster and in wider strokes.

“Want me to make you cum in front of all these people?” he questioned, a devious smirk spreading across his face.

“This is so wrong, Suguru.”

“It didn’t stop you all the other times I made you cum in public.”

“I have a boyfriend and–”

“I don’t give a fuck.” Suguru pressed a soft kiss on the nape of your neck. “One last time and we’re done.”

“Fuck it,” you groaned as he slowly moved up and down your slit, wetness seeping the fabric of your panties. “One last time.”

“Too bad~” Suguru cooed as he pulled his hand away. “Cheaters really are the worst, especially easy ones.”

You resisted the urge to slap the stupid smirk off his face but you reached for your drink instead. You quickly drank the remainder of the liquid and set the glass down a little too hard.

“Well, I guess I should get going then.”

“We’re having so much fun.” Suguru replied innocently, running his finger around the edge of his glass. “One more drink?”

You abruptly turned towards Suguru, leaning into him and placing the palm of your hand on his belt buckle. Immediately spreading his legs open, you began palming his cock, watching it harden under his slacks.

“Who's the pervert now?” Suguru questioned, glancing down as you trailed your fingers over his growing erection.

“I want to be wet and ready for my boyfriend, so I’m going to go home and touch myself.” you whispered in his ear.

Suguru groaned as you squeezed his cock, grabbing your hand and pressing it harder against his erection. Fingers tracing up your thigh, you worked your way up your skirt, softly rubbing your clit.

“My boyfriend thinks I get wet waiting for his cock.” you whispered, inching your face closer to his. “In reality, it’s because I touch myself to the thought of you fucking me.”

Suguru cleared his throat before abruptly scooting away from you, quickly reaching for his wallet and throwing a hundred dollar bill on the table.

“Get up.” Suguru demanded, glancing at his watch. “Now.”

“Excuse me?” you questioned, smoothing your skirt over.

“Touching yourself in front of all these people,” Suguru mumbled as he yanked your arm.

“Suguru, what the fuck–”

“Get up, or I’ll fuck you on this table in front of everyone.” You almost tripped as Suguru dragged you towards the exit.

“Where are we going?” you asked, trying to steady your breathing.

“Back to your place.” Suguru replied immediately, fishing for his car keys. “I want to meet your boyfriend after I fuck you on his bed.”

Suguru had your legs spread, two fingers deep in your pussy as he steered with his other hand.

“Rub your clit.” Suguru demanded as he pressed harder on the gas. “Stop stifling your moans, you aren't fooling me with your pathetic attempt at disinterest.”

You let out a soft moan, your fingers quickly tracing circles on your clit. Wetness pooled out onto Suguru’s leather passenger seat, but he didn’t care. He would make you cum a million times on his seats if it meant keeping you away from your loser boyfriend.

“Impatient?” Suguru mused as he rapidly pulled his fingers in and out, admiring the loud squelching sound.

“Shut up.” you breathed, gripping his wrist in place. “Take this exit and make a left.”

Suguru followed your instructions, curling his fingers and slowly massaging your sweet spot. You cursed, lifting your hips and grinding on the palm of his hand, desperately chasing your high.

“Which building?” Suguru asked as he yanked his fingers away.

“I was so close!” you cried out, reaching for his hand again.

“The longer you take to give me directions, the longer you have to wait to cum.” Suguru brought his fingers to his lips, licking the essence of you off his fingers delicately.

“Red brick building, at the corner of Ridgeside. My parking garage entrance code is 2489, spot number 107.”

You glared at the parking garage elevator, wishing to whichever god that was listening to make the doors open now. Suguru noticed your pouting and bit his lip, not wanting to antagonize you further.

“This is a new god damn building!” you blurted out as the elevator remained paused at the 6th floor. “Why does this elevator take so long to work?”

Suguru tugged your arm and pressed your body against his, tilting your chin up before locking his lips to yours. You placed one hand on his chest and slid the other slowly down his torso, ghosting your fingers over his crotch. He grinned, breaking the kiss off and turned to press you against the wall.

You pulled him back into a kiss, your tongues tangling with each other as you gripped his growing erection. A soft moan escaped your lips as Suguru’s thigh pressed against your cunt, an invitation to seek some much needed relief.

“Suguru, let me touch you.” you moaned as he pressed his thigh harder against your thrusts.

“Keep going baby,” Suguru whispered as he pressed a soft kiss to your neck. “Think you can cum before the elevator gets here?”

Your heart skipped a beat, desperately wanting to cum but worried that someone was on the elevator and would see you in a debauched state. You turned your head to the side, noticing the elevator was still stuck on the 6th floor. The leasing agent warned you that the elevator was notorious for being extremely slow but it was going to be fixed soon. This was almost a month ago and it clearly was not fixed.

Suguru grabbed your waist and rocked you harder against his thigh, his forehead pressed to yours as you breathed heavily. You were close, dangerously close, but too nervous to cum right there when someone could appear at any moment.

“Stop worrying.” Suguru demanded as he angled his leg in a different position, eliciting a sweet moan from your lips.

“What if someone catches us?” you breathed out, slowly stopping the grind on his thigh.

Suguru grunted, gripping your hips harder and urging you on faster. “You could have came by now if you weren’t so stubborn.”

“You were the one edging me the whole ride here!” you retorted, pushing his hands off your hips.

Before Suguru could quip back, the elevator dinged and you both quickly pushed away from each other and readjusted yourselves. Suguru cleared his throat and greeted the groundskeeper who was pushing a cart of trash out of the elevator, his view partially blocked.

You quickly walked into the elevator, heart pounding as you pressed the 18th floor button. Suguru leaned against the wall next to you, the corners of his lips turning up into a smirk. Once the elevator started its ascent, you turned to glare at Suguru.

“What? He didn’t see us.” Suguru shrugged and stepped closer to you. “Let’s continue, we have 16 more floors to go.”

Suguru towered over you once more, his thigh nestling between yours and you lowered yourself slightly, slowly rocking your hips back and forth. You were taking a gamble on being interrupted again, but you could cum soon if you were able to concentrate on something else.

You wrapped your arms around Suguru’s neck and pulled him into a kiss, feeling him smile before reaching to cradle the back of your head into his hands. You opened your mouth slightly and Suguru eagerly deepened the kiss, his tongue wrestling with yours. You rocked your hips faster, grinding harder against his thigh, feeling the pressure build up rapidly. Suguru broke the kiss off and leaned in to whisper in your ear.

“You’re so close, I know you can cum for me.”

You glanced up at what floor you were on and you prayed you were stuck on 6 like the groundskeeper was. Suguru’s hand traced the outline of your breast through your shirt before squeezing it a few times gently. You moaned, arching your back into him, silently encouraging him to continue his ministrations.

Suguru lifted the hem of your shirt, snaking his hand up to your breast and pulled your bra down. He pinched your nipple softly, smiling to himself when you gasped and glanced back at what floor the elevator was on.

“Stop paying attention to that.” Suguru snapped as he squeezed your breast harder. “We’ve been stuck on this floor for the past 4 minutes.”

“I can’t,” you groaned. “I need more, please let’s just wait until we’re in my room.”

“You will.” Suguru commanded, lowering his thigh away from your dripping cunt. “Spread your legs.”

You spread your legs, forcing yourself to not check what floor you were on. The longer you held back, the higher the chance of someone walking in and knowing Suguru, he would make you stay on the elevator until you cummed, even if you reached the 18th floor. Suguru’s fingers quickly found their way to your entrance, immediately shoving two fingers in your vagina, causing you to moan loudly. It was exactly what you needed.You were right on the edge of cummming, just needing a little bit more to cum.

Before you could ask Suguru, he shoved another finger in and placed his thumb over your clit. You moaned loudly, squeezing your eyes shut as your orgasm washed over you. Chest heaving, you opened your eyes and noticed Suguru immediately pulling away, leaving your disheveled body out in the open as the elevator doors opened. Horrified, you scrambled to adjust your skirt and top, forgetting that Suguru had yanked your bra down.

“Sorry about that.” Suguru bit back his smile, trying to appear as sincere as possible. “We had a bit too much to drink and she couldn’t wait.”

You glanced up and realized it was your neighbor down the hall; the two of you spoke often in passing as she worked in the building across from your workplace. Your neighbor, looking a mix of horrified and embarrassed, stepped to the side and averted her gaze. You yanked Suguru’s arm and ran out the elevator, feeling your whole body burn hot. You could have killed him, and you probably would once you got into your apartment. Scrambling for your keys, you shakily unlocked your door and slammed it shut behind you once Suguru crossed the threshold.

“You fucking asshole.” you seethed, glaring at the back of his head as he surveyed your apartment.

“Your fault you took so long to cum.” Suguru shrugged as he walked down the hall towards your bedroom.

“At least take your shoes off!” you shouted, trailing after him once you clumsily took your own off and threw them by the front door.

You walked into your bedroom and Suguru was standing by the window, admiring the view of the city skyline. You cleared your throat and waited as Suguru turned around before pointing towards his shoes. Suguru wouldn’t admit it, but he was too eager to fuck you after getting caught, his cock throbbing painfully against his slacks. He sat on the armchair in the corner, slowly unlacing his shoes before placing them neatly to the side.

“Think your boyfriend wants to sit here and watch me fuck you?” he grinned as you walked over and towered over him.

You leaned in to kiss him before slowly trailing your fingers down to unbutton his shirt. Suguru eagerly complied, tossing it to the side once you finished unbuttoning it. He quickly unbuckled his belt and threw that on top of his shirt before making quick work of his pants. You glanced down and noticed his cock straining against his underwear, a wet spot forming at his leaking tip. Biting your lip, you slowly kneeled and gingerly kissed his erection, eliciting a soft hiss from Suguru.

You peeled his underwear down, admiring how his cock slapped against his abdomen and twitched at the cool air. Tossing them to the side, you softly palmed his cock, glancing up at him with a soft smile as you licked your lips. Before Suguru could force your lips to his cock, you squeezed the tip of hit hard, grinning as he tried to push you away.

“What the fuck that hurts.” Suguru spat but you moved your hands to his balls and squeezed just as hard.

“You embarrassed me in front of my neighbor.” you spat as you stood up, sliding your skirt and underwear down in one motion.

“That was your neighbor?” Suguru resisted the urge to laugh, not wanting to piss you off even more. “Afraid she’s going to tell your boyfriend?”

“Nope,” you replied flatly, removing your top and tossing it in the pile with Suguru’s.

“So why am I being punished for making you cum?”

Stradling Suguru’s lap, he tilted his chin up to you and stared down at him, feeling his chest heave under the palm of your hand. You contemplated how to break it to him, how to get your revenge on him and it finally clicked.

You slowly got up and motioned for him to stay seated. Suguru stared as you turned you back to him and made your way to the bed, sitting on the edge and spreading your legs. His heart raced as he watched you scoot a little further back on the bed and prop one leg up, your fingers trailing towards your clit.

“Now, you’re going to watch me make myself cum and you can’t touch yourself until I say so.” you gauged his reaction, smirking at how he glared at you.

“That’s not fair, you already came.” Suguru argued, feeling his cock throb harder.

“It won’t take too long.” you replied with a smirk. “It took us about an hour to get back up here to my place from the bar?”

“Don’t…” Suguru pleaded.

“I think you can wait another hour.”

“Your boyfriend could be home any minute now.” Suguru argued. “Do you want to get caught again?”

“There is no boyfriend.” you answered, shrugging as his confused expression.

“So you lied?” Suguru questioned, trying to sit up.

“Just wanted to see how jealous you’d get.” you replied. “Sit back down and watch me play with myself.”

Suguru was seething but he listened to your instructions and leaned back into the chair, trying to ignore the now painful swelling of his cock. He replayed the conversation in his head to try and distract himself from the soft moans you began to let out. Was I jealous? Suguru thought to himself and then the words he spoke to you as he dragged you away from the bar replayed in his mind

“Fuck.” Suguru groaned as he threw his head back.

“Enjoying the show?” you teased as you slipped a finger into your vagina, throwing your head back as pleasure washed over you.

You didn’t realize Suguru was making his way towards you until you felt the bed dip under his weight. He was now towering over you, pushing your hand away and placing them above your head. He pressed his lips to yours and before you could return the kiss, he pulled away and stared at you until you shifted uncomfortably.

“No more lying.” he stated as he pressed another kiss to your lips.

“So, you were jealous?” you grinned as he rolled his eyes.

Instead of answering, he rolled away from you and laid next to you. Suguru tugged your arm and instead of curling into his side, you chose to straddle him and grind your pussy against his cock. Suguru groaned, staring up at you as you rocked your hips back and forth. He reached for your face and pulled you into a messy kiss, your heart pounding. Breaking the kiss, Suguru held you there, lips ghosting over yours as he placed his hand on the small of your back, encouraging you to grind harder.

It would take a lot more work on your end to admit that he was jealous, but Suguru knew it was time to end this game of playing it cool. He wanted you from the very beginning, that was obvious when he continued to sleep with you, but he wanted to keep his options open out of greed. But no one else made him feel as good as you did. There was no doubt in his mind that there was something more between you two and neither of you wanted to admit, until tonight.

And so, the back and forth game would continue, just for tonight, until one of you finally admitted how badly you wanted the other, and no one else.

I know you’re past your post limit tonight but you are an unwavering ray of strength and sunshine on here. So calm so chill. That cookie jar though…😏

That being said…are yall not entertained????

For those of you who screamed PR for months (I’m talking about the crazy ones who freak out every five minutes about something new even though they claim they know PR and they know people and have sources (in their own heads LOLOL)) - you want it? YOU GOT IT. It’s been in your face for months and yall still can’t see it?

An article comes out every time ramen breathes. And soba must be inserted. Soba gets articles for IG posts…when does that happen to a third rate noodle brand who can’t even hit 1 million followers after buying bots for two years and marrying the sexiest noodle brand alive? (Just to be extra petty, Jenna Ortega got ten million new followers in a week after Wednesday launched on Netflix (same month someone’s else season two show launched and then got canceled but whoops) and she didn’t marry anybody famous. Soba isn’t even a notable brand in their home country. Soba’s name gets misspelled even in her own movie promo posts. Yet she’s getting us weekly and people articles written about her every movement now? Oh and she’s getting a square on us weekly about celebs who adopted pets - with ramen’s dog even though she didn’t adopt the dog? LOLOLOLOL ok!!

Nobody thinks that’s odd?

I’ll have to admit, I didn’t really want to believe in conspiracy theories for a long time. It felt too delusional and too qanon for me. But after ramen returned to IG and made a post about dogs - a people mag article pops up and inserts a line to make it about soba, unprovoked. Why? Almost like it was intentional to shoehorn soba in. Almost like that’s basically been the MO since this all started. The tabloids have changed but the narrative has not. The rumors turned to confirmation turned to more rumors to more confirmation but never really really by the horse’s mouth except kinda two ceremonies maybe yeah go physical therapy!!

The way that “wedding” announcement launched as an unconfirmed source from page six. Then went immediately viral. After a weekend of extreme social media breadcrumbing…it was almost like watching a puppeteer orchestrate a show in real time. I can’t be the only one…right?

They have continuously gone the route of most resistance repeatedly, for two years - and nobody thinks this is just inane? They are doing this on purpose and the more you overthink it, the more crazy and unsense it will make.

Like you mentioned many times before, people just have to wait and see. And be patient. Try not to overreact over every little thing. (Hard for some, but seriously!)

Fact is: ramen has publicly endorsed soba (well maybe not the name) and they are linked. So until this changes, why wouldn’t you expect soba to be around lurking? Ramen can’t be an investor in a brand and then not show up with it.

Though it would be funny if he was caught eating banza pasta while toting the soba brand, like Britney getting caught ordering a coke while she was a Pepsi girl. 😆

I’m totally half kidding about most of this. But I think you get what I’m trying to put down. Nobody has to agree with me. But the longer this goes, the easier it’s been to look back on how it all started and string the pieces together.

First off are the same anon who has been doing amazing with the pasta analogies?? Because if so can I call you, Mrs. Pasta??

This is what PR looks like. Articles upon articles over nothing. Pushing a name out there for what? You make some excellent points, completely. Now, I’m not confirming or denying anything. Just that this is pointed. The timing is interesting and the entertainment is amazing.

Banza past is an amazing option. Top ramen needs to add a little spice and change. Soba noodles on the regular isn’t good for everyone.

I’m just here ready for the show. I told y’all to keep your eyes open 😉

But I think they are J Crew. She is really in the mid-tier market -- Ouch, this one line would've made her SO mad 😂 But that's the truth. And she's looking to lure the uber rich as her customers/patrons/investors. Old money. Born in money, generational wealth, discreet, classy and absolutely loathe nouveau riche especially someone as crass and loud mouthed as Rachel Markle. Another day, another project, another failure and blaming others for that. Same MO in Rachel's universe.

If we're being honest, I think J Crew is also little out of reach for her actual market. J Crew feels pretty solidly in Kate's demographic, if only by the stereotype of who the J Crew woman is. The J Crew woman is a professional, she's focused, she's driven, she's put-together, she's consistent in what she wears/what she does/how she decorates. She may not have the budget for Kate's high street fashion, but she can make do with replikates from the likes of J Crew, Brooks Brothers, Anne Taylor, LOFT, etc. This, by the way, is Reese Witherspoon's audience.

My sense is that Meghan's market is more of the TJ Maxx demographic. People who love a brand name but don't want to pay full price. People that want to be trendy and stylish in every season at all times. People that want artisanal and organic but not at full price. People that want a bargain or a discount that can be easily passed off as "the real designer thing." People who love luxury but love bragging about their discount even more. People who slap "live love laugh"-esque motivational quotes on everything.

There's nothing wrong with being a TJ Maxx girl or a J Crew girl or a High Street girl. You do you.

What's wrong here is Meghan's perception of the market and what's feasible for her. She isn't Gwyneth Paltrow who can get the uber rich/old money/nepo baby crowd. She isn't Reese Witherspoon who can get the middle class/J Crew crowd. She isn't even King Charles who can get the Waitrose crowd, which is the equivalent of the Whole Foods crowd here in the US.

The only audience left, the only space left, in the market is the TJ Maxx/bargain discount retailer crowd. That's where the money and the loyalty is. And it's ultimately who Meghan is. If she was smart, she'd understand that about herself, target the TJ Maxx / Ross / Home Goods / Marshalls group, corner the market there, then scale up once she has a loyal community who can do the marketing for her by talking about the products on social media.

I mean, how much of us are paying ridiculous prices for our favorite lotions, potions, subscriptions, and boxes today? And the only reason most of us put up with those ridiculous prices is because we fell in love with the brand when they were reasonably priced to get our attention.

Other celebrity blackmail that makes me think there mightve been something between Liam and roger,

Reminds me of the certain actress who have a certain MO she does to her partners/victims. In this case husk. husk dude who builds those Hesla cars. Yes I'm spelling these things wrong on purpose.

Because she gave him drugs. Then recorded a video at one of those parties high off his head doing things he wouldn't want the public to know about... (it mightve been in private the filming idr exact details)..

so now he is her slave for life. It's complicated because you would think he would just take her out so so he doesnt have to pay her anymore, but he was in love with her at one point plus they have a child together.

Thats why he paid her lawyer bills. Thats why he met with the director of that film everyone wanted her to get kicked off of. And kept her in the film.

I know liam said there was nothing in between him and Roger in a romantic way, but sometimes it's easier to hide your partner in plain sight. He took a page out of Harry's book and kept Jeff with him in public. Again I'm not saying thus as fact, just a theory.

I assume if the braiain guy is telking the truth about liam and him hooking up, I hope liam told him not take pics. Unless he took one anways and blackmailed lkam.

I know with zayns main groupie, Zayn told her no pics when they wrre hooking up because she tried to sneak one. Maybe because of the waitress pics thing. But allegedly liam took those pics of zayn on bed, i digress.

Roger at big shot party investor where Liam performed. Maybe he was using liam as a tool to those parties? Like a bargaining chip?

Maybe roger had some type of blackmail on liam?

All I know is inHollywood, everything js not what ut seems.,

Like a certain mrgtobbie and pradhitt have been hooking up by coincidentally flying to same cities and no one really knows.

Im not saying ljam was gay or bi for sure but there are different elements we have to consider. Especially now that braiain has opened that can of worms,

Sprry for typos. My keyboard has mind of its own. And hits buttons i didnt press. Thanks for reading,

Celebs are used as pawns. Maybe roger needed to use him for something with his shady businesses,

Nick & Lisa Masee

June 27, 2024

Nick and Lisa met in 1984. Lisa was a 29 year old hairdresser at Yakoi Hair Design in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Nick was 45-46 year old accountant director at the Bank of Montreal, and was one of Lisa's clients. The pair got married, both having been previously married before, and lived in North Vancouver.

In January 1994, Nick retired at the age of 55, after working in the field for 35 years. He was also a director of a company that traded on the Vancouver Stock Exchange. Nick's daughter later said that her father often shared details of his life and work with others.

Nick and Lisa travelled often, visiting places such as Hawaii, the Cayman Islands and the Netherlands. Nick made about $85,000 a year, which was good money. He had savings and both him and Lisa had passports from different countries.

In 1994 however, Nick and Lisa began acting strange to those around them. The two went on a trip to the Cayman Islands and in April with no warning, the two set up a bank account with $50,000 worth of stock, also drawing up wills.

Nick made a call to his daughter, who was living in Holland at the time, telling her that he wouldn't be able to call her on her birthday. Nick did not tell her where he was or really provide any explanation.

On August 10, 1994, Nick and Lisa told multiple people they were going to Trader Vic's, a popular restaurant at the Bayshore Inn in Coal Harbour. Nick was apparently going to discuss a $10 million business deal with an investor whose name and identity remains unknown to this day.

Supposedly, Nick told his business associates that this investor was sending a limo to pick up him and Lisa at their home. No one else had any information about the meeting.

However, what's strange is that no one showed up to the restaurant or cancelled. It was weird for Nick to not call and cancel if he was not planning to show. A witness came forward and in 1995 it was revealed that Nick and Lisa had been seen next door, at the Westin Bayshore's Garden Lounge, from 6:30-10:30 pm that day. Nick was reportedly wearing a jogging suit and the two were splitting a bottle of wine.

On August 11, 1994, Lisa's 39th birthday - Lisa made two calls from Nick's cell. She called her boss, and one of Nick's associates. She said they would be out of town for a couple of days. No one has ever heard from them again.

Within a week, Lisa's sister decided to go to the Masee's house and found Nick's car in the driveway. The front door was closed but unlocked. The alarm system was disabled, which Lisa's sister said was strange and not like them. The Masee's cat was inside the home, and their passports. Two zip ties were found at the entrance.

RCMP believed that Nick and Lisa were either victims of foul play, or they had orchestrated their own disappearance.

There is no evidence that supports either theory. In July 2019, Nick's children and the RCMP held a press conference asking for any information about the couple's disappearance to be brought forth. There was a reward for $50,000. Investigators believe Nick and Lisa were killed for unknown reasons.

Anyone with information is urged to contact North Vancouver RCMP investigators at 604-985-1311.

Lisa Mo Masee was born on August 11, 1955. She is 5'6 in height and weighed 130 lbs. She is Asian with black hair and brown eyes. Her maiden name is Mo Yin HO. She speaks both English and Mandarin.

Nicholas Gerard Jacques Masee was born on January 12, 1939. He was 5'7 in height and weighed 160 lbs. He is a white male with greying blonde hair at the time of his disappearance and blue eyes. He speaks English and Dutch.

If Nick is still alive today he would be 85 years old. If Lisa is still alive today she would be turning 69 years old.

Hils Watches The King's Avatar - Ep 32

He's such a little shit (affectionate)

I love how much they love each other

Did An Wenyi join the polycule or is he just standing in for Baozi?

I love An Wenyi and no one is more surprised by this than me

Okay no team's win rate is 100%, and if that's true why did the investors pull their funding?

Oh no. I smell a new ship.

Uh, no. They have a manager.

Oh I think he wants to be their guild manager not the team manager

Ye Xiu: I didn't adopt you for you to just manage the guild in the background

You might be old, but you're not as old as Wei Chen. God, he's such a little shit (affectionate)

He just can't help himself

Mo Fan's like 'I don't think I can kill him for you he's our captain'

Every time I say there's no more space on this graphic they add someone else. There's only 8 episodes left though so that has to be it now, surely

Oh my god look at these precious idiots having a pillow fight

Well, that's one way to make the new guy feel included.

I love that he didn't even ask any questions and just went straight into it

I love them.

I love that he's making them bond as a team by repeatedly punishing them. Don't punish my son for defending his teammates!

Oh, boys. I think you're all forgetting that Wu Chen was captain of his own team before he joined you. Your nonsense isn't going to wash with him

Or he could do their collective punishments for them with a bit of help. Which I'm sure is the sort of nonsense Ye Xiu was expecting to happen to get them to accept the newbie

I am so very fond of these two

Oh, shit, he's genuinely pissed off this time

Must defend my girlfriend

Oh no strife within the team!

I'm not wild about the fact that it's the only woman on the team that's getting arrogant and cocky. And I bet they lose the next game now to teach her about humility

What is it about this team volunteering to retire from the league in the event of a loss. Stop being so dramatic!

I thought he'd been caught kissing until I remembered. Anyway, I'm sure Wei Chen has misunderstood and is going to tell everyone that Wu Chen has betrayed them

Argh I hit the screenshot limit but oh no Ye Xiu has been arrested on suspicion of cheating and Wei Chen thinks Wu Chen is responsible! I'm sure it's going to be something innocent. The drama!

yeah...this man as my concept basis for a revised Nuru Kungurama--Kivu'rama'nuruodo...I mean, with red sclera/irisis/blue skin/black hair...

...the cousin of Thrawn/Thrass/Borika, by their father's brother...

-Persona/based off Original Nuru/now known as Rama (with a tie-in to the Hindu Rama, or the Ramayana...), and a mesh of young, James T Kirk brilliance/rebelliousness, preStar-Fleet days (2009 Trek movie), and Will Hunting, from Good Will Hunting (the genius talent/orphan/displaced/humble-origins/anti-establishment/rebel in the underclass-sort)-who, crossing paths with THrawn as JodoKast in my AU (combining events from SideTrip and TatooineGhost), gives the FcuckYou to Thrawn about joing the Mith Household Phalanx, hates everything about Chiss society which sent him off as an exile-hates that his older cousin, now the Supreme Commander of the Empire of the Hand/and Imperial Remnant, served the jackASS, Palpatine, who authorized the massacre of the only family Rama had when he'd been discovered in the stasis-pod by the Jedi, and left to make his own way after Order66. Contra the est lore of Nuru/Rama, finds employment as the procurer of a biomodification shop in MOs Vespa (reformed MosEspa, w/ a tie-in of Princess Vespa as a business investor reshaping MosEspa into an ecoTourism resort for transwormerhole vacationers from the TerranQuadrant)--and having encountered AU, Kaltoi OFC in her pursuit of biohacked gene sequences which led her, temporarily to Tatooine, gets some RobinWilliams style/patient Father-figure advice from BobaFett one evening after OFC has left Tatooine on her wild goose chase w/ Luke (post RotJ years/)-and Fett senses Rama's awakened ideslism/restlessness as thoughts keep wondering back to a certain biokinetically gifted, advanced practice medic who touched the lives of MosVespa w/ her charity clinic/and community initiatives in the few months she'd set up shop on Tatooine. Where Rama asks Fett what led him to eventually bury the warrior ethos of his culture, and settle down. And Fett, w/ glance to Fennec Shand, offers wryly, "Isn't it obvious, lad--[lad is like, mid 30s, but whatever]--I went chasing off after a girl..."--

Also, PeterEggers is just hot...and I don't think Nuru'Kungurama gets enough love...Now, Kivu'Rama'nuruodo...(my blurring of EU and canon revised Chiss naming conventions...)

“are you… jealous?” for mo/jasper!

@abernathywrites not quite as angsty as i thought it would be! sometimes writing is like that...

Leave it to Mo to cut right to the heart of things. Jasper turned away from her, eyes trailing the messy row of weeds outside the window. They almost formed a circle, albeit a slightly misshapen one. He wasn't embarrassed of the question, nor his answer. Being trapped--stranded--in a house in the wrong time, with technologies and words he couldn't begin to fathom had a rather humbling effect on one's general self-esteem, and jealousy had become something of a companion to him when he had no other.

It was because he wanted to avoid looking at her while he answered. He didn't mind his own feelings, but he didn't like the way Mo saw him when she noticed them. As though he were a specimen to be examined, and a distasteful one at that. Her eyes, while not terribly expressive, were a little to sharp for his most vulnerable moments yet. "Naturally," he said after what he hoped was an appropriate amount of length.

"Of what?" she asked, incredulous, as though she hadn't thought of the word herself. "These things are boring. Demeaning." Jasper couldn't help the little swell of protectiveness that surged up in him. He turned back, and Mo must have immediately read his thoughts there, because she continued on in a rush. "Not like they make me do something demeaning. It just is. Having to beg them for money when I know my research is--"

He interrupted, grateful as always to find any scrap of commonality with her. "Oh, I know all about that." Despite himself, he cracked a small smile. "Lest you forgot, I was on an expedition when you interrupted it. And though my family is more than comfortable, I couldn't fund a trip cross the ocean on my allowance alone. I've gone to investors and brought little samples and done the little dance to ensure more funding as well. That, it seems, hasn't changed."

Mo blinked, apparently silenced by the thought, and cocked her head. He knew this expression from her. She was trying to understand. Trying to piece together something about him. Something apparently opaque. Jasper turned back to the window. He had no desire to watch the moment she worked it out. "Are you jealous because you miss it?" Once again, she seemed full of disbelief.

Full of disbelief and utterly wrong. So wrong, it brought a bark of laughter out of him. "Yes," he said. He might cry; she'd offered him a very convenient out. "Well, yes and no." The best lies contained a kernel of truth, after all. "I don't miss the meetings with the investors but--the part after. When the money is assured and another trip can begin and I can set my sights and…yes, of course I miss it." He turned back at her as he said it, surprised by his own sincerity. For a moment he thought, maybe she wasn't so wrong after all.

But then his eye caught hers again. She'd put some kind of kohl around it, and it brought out the warm brown of her eyes. Jasper had paid little attention before to the ways ladies applied tints and powders to their faces, but Mo never did, and the difference was so startling to him. She'd gone through some lengths, it seemed. Her hair was coiffed and she wore some sort of habit, with a coat and skirt that seemed to match--the skirt, as always, indecently short, and so Jasper had not looked for more details--and generally seemed as though she'd taken out all her best. For a meeting with her investors. Which made perfect sense and wasn't at all personal, but Jasper's stomach turned at the thought nonetheless.

He wasn't so ignorant of his own mind to think his jealousy was because her research could continue and his was frozen. No, his feeling could be summed up by the questions that had been nagging him since she'd first emerged from her washroom, looking as she did. What would it be like for her to turn herself out like this for me?

"Well," she said after a moment, interrupting his self-pitying thoughts. "If it would make you feel better, I'll let you try to convince me to give you something. Buy you a plant or something."

She turned away from him this time, and so he kept his eyes on her profile. It was nice, not to have to turn away. "That's very kind but--" But he didn't think he could beg her for a plant in good faith. Not just because she had made it clear she cared little for his research. More because he didn't trust himself to beg of her without letting slip how he'd been feeling, how he'd been wanting of late. "No, I do recall the process being…what was your word? Demeaning?"

She chuckled, and he could tell right away it was at his expense. "Let me guess. Asking a woman for funding would be the height of impropriety, or some other bullshit?"

It would, actually. But he had a feeling saying so would make her mad, and he felt that only one of them should be annoyed at him tonight. It seemed it was his own turn for that. "We're far beyond the crassness of discussing money. Good luck tonight, Mo. I hope they see your hard work for what it is." He rose, bowed out of habit, and retreated into his room, where he planned to hide until she left the house, or perhaps until she found a way to return him so he wouldn't have to face her again.

Staying the Course: The Power of Patience in the World of Bitcoin

In the ever-evolving landscape of Bitcoin, it's easy to get caught up in the daily price action. Whether it's soaring to new highs or dipping into the red, Bitcoin's volatility is something that can test even the most seasoned of investors. But what happens when the price movement is more... sideways?

For me, staying the course has always been about the long-term vision. Bitcoin isn't just a short-term play—it's a strategy for building lasting wealth and financial freedom. No matter what the market is doing today, tomorrow, or next month, my approach remains the same: stack SATs, and keep stacking. This is the strategy. It’s simple, yet powerful, and it’s what keeps me grounded during these times of uncertainty.

Learning from History

History has shown us that Bitcoin often moves in cycles. Consider the periods in 2013, 2016, and even as recently as 2020. During these times, Bitcoin seemed to be moving sideways, causing doubt among some investors. However, each of these periods was followed by significant price surges that rewarded those who held on. For example, after the 2016 halving, Bitcoin’s price remained relatively stable for months, only to skyrocket in 2017. This pattern is a reminder that periods of quiet can be a precursor to something much bigger.

The Power of Patience

This strategy works because Bitcoin has shown time and time again that it rewards patience. Looking back at its history, we see a pattern: after periods of sideways movement, Bitcoin often experiences significant upward momentum. Those who have held strong through the lulls have been rewarded for their resilience. It’s not just about timing the market; it’s about time in the market.

This mindset requires discipline, especially when the market seems stagnant. It's easy to feel discouraged when Bitcoin isn't making headlines or breaking records. But it's during these quiet times that the real progress is being made. Behind the scenes, development continues, adoption grows, and the foundations of the future financial system are being laid.

The Psychology of Staying the Course

Emotionally, sticking with your plan when the market feels flat can be challenging. The constant noise from skeptics, the temptation to shift focus, and the impatience that naturally arises can all test your resolve. This is where understanding the psychology of investing becomes crucial. Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) are ever-present in the world of Bitcoin, often amplified during periods of sideways movement. However, recognizing these emotions and managing them is key to maintaining a long-term perspective. One way to combat FUD is to focus on the fundamentals of Bitcoin—its decentralization, scarcity, and growing adoption.

But that's when it's most important to remember your reasons for investing in Bitcoin in the first place. For me, it's about more than just price—it's about being part of a financial revolution, one that I believe will reshape the world.

A Long-Term Play

Comparing Bitcoin to traditional investments like stocks, real estate, or gold, we see a similar principle at work: long-term investing typically yields the best results. However, Bitcoin stands out because of its unique properties—its finite supply, resistance to censorship, and ability to transfer value globally with ease. These qualities make Bitcoin not just an investment, but a form of insurance against the uncertainties of the traditional financial system.

Looking Ahead

As the market moves sideways, I’ll continue to stay the course, confident in the knowledge that patience, persistence, and a long-term perspective are the keys to success in the world of Bitcoin. With upcoming technological advancements, increasing institutional adoption, and the potential for regulatory clarity, the future looks bright. The quiet periods, like the one we’re in now, are merely the calm before the next wave of innovation and growth.

So, as the market moves sideways, I’ll continue to stay the course, confident in the knowledge that patience, persistence, and a long-term perspective are the keys to success in the world of Bitcoin.
