Ayla leaned back, unable to mask the scandalized expression spread across her face. "You’ve been faking for two years?" She asked, incredulous but clearly amused. "That’s... dedication, but also, what are you doing? Life’s too short for bad sex and boring men." She swirled the drink in her glass, taking a slow sip before leaning forward, her voice dropping. "Listen, if you’ve got to rely on toys after the fact, he’s not the king of the sheets—he’s the court jester," Ayla said, her tone unapologetically blunt but tinged with humor. "You deserve someone who worships you, not someone you’ve gotta make excuses for."

@sunshinesfm // mango bay lofts

“i  know  you  might  be  thinking  i've  lost  it,”  he  explains  as  he  pulls  up  to  mango  bay  lofts,  quick  to  put  the  car  in  park  and  free  himself  of  his  seatbelt.  “but  i  was  thinking,  what's  got  more  space  than  a  loft  ?”  the  open  floor  plan  was  his  main  selling  point,  but  if  she  didn't  go  for  it,  he'd  survive.  he  knew  it  was  a  long  shot,  but  part  of  the  fun  of  real  estate  was  the  hunt  for  him,  finding  someone  their  very  own  perfect  safe  space.  “it's  got  an  open  floor  plan  with  the  lofted  area  for  your  ‘  bedroom  ’,  and  that  means  you  can  fit  tons  of  racks  in  the  living  space.  could  even  install  some  shelving  units,  and  there  is  a  walk  in.  so,  at  least  let  me  show  you  before  you  say  no  ?”

for a moment, all she could do was gawk at him. the person on the other side of the door was definitely not a stranger, but one of her dad's oldest friends. and he had called her luna rae. "is this some sort of joke?" she looked left then right then left again before she put her hand on his very broad chest and pushed with enough pressure to get the older man to walk backwards into the room so she could shut the door behind them. "did someone put you up to this? did … oh god, does my dad know what i do?" her cheeks flushed at the thought but she quickly shook her head to regain some composure. taking a deep breath, she thought about the situation before her. while it had crossed her mind, she didn't think this was some sort of retaliation plot by, well, anyone she knew. the man had dropped quite the hefty sum of money, which could only mean one thing. "did you really just pay all that money to meet me?" her brow rose incredulously. "and how long have you been watching my videos?"

location: palmview fashion house

serin stands in front of the expansive mirror, adjusting the collar of a luxurious coat she's been designing. the space is bathed in soft light from the high windows, the scent of fresh fabrics and faint perfume hanging in the air. the hum of activity fills the room as designers, seamstresses, and stylists work with the energy of a well-oiled machine. she takes a step back to admire her work, but then her gaze flickers to the door as alyssa lockhart walks in. her eyes narrow slightly, calculating. alyssa has been making waves at palmview fashion house ever since she joined, her designs fresh and bold, something serin can’t help but notice. there's no doubt alyssa has an eye for style, but serin is always watching for the smallest of cracks in the armor. she crosses her arms, her heels clicking softly as she walks toward alyssa, her gaze sharp but playful. "i see you’re still at it," she remarks, voice cool but with an edge of curiosity, a subtle compliment hidden beneath her words. "can’t say i’m surprised, though. you have a way of making the rest of us look like we're slacking." her smirk is ever-present, but there’s a flicker of challenge in her tone. taking a moment, she inspects alyssa’s outfit, noting the sharpness of the cut and the fabric choices — it’s evident the woman knows what she's doing. "how’s the new collection coming along?" she asks, tilting her head slightly, letting the words hang in the air as if there's more she’s not saying. her eyes linger on alyssa, waiting for the response, but always with that calculating look that never fully lets her guard down.

shyness  colored  her  every  action  and word whenever the rose was near, a touch of anxiety steadily growing as distance felt an ever present wall between them. she still approached with a smile. the snow didn't make hope wilt.  ❝  i heard the frozen lake is very beautiful. would you like to go ice skating? ❞   her own skates, worn from use but still functional, were in the bag slung over her shoulders.

"Do you want to read something bite-sized and impossible to put down? If so, may I offer you a list of 11 Queer books under 250 pages to solve your plight? It is wonderful to be able to pick a book up and finish it in a sitting or two. These books do just that and they are queer. What more can you ask for?

With Pride month in full swing, many readers opt to celebrate by adding more queer books to their reading lives. However, June is a busy month full of work, travel, Pride celebrations, and summertime ennui. Sometimes you want something small that you can take on a trip, or something short to read in your downtime. In case you have a busy month or need a short book as a break, this list of queer books under 250 pages is here to help you out. Ideally, it will let you accomplish your queer reading goals and still make it to all the events on your calendar."

Who: @briarreed Where: The Bar Crawl

Alyssa had just finished up the costume contest when she decided to look for her youngest who had been absent from the contest. While Alyssa normally didn’t care about the trivial contests it was rather disheartening when her youngest couldn’t be bothered to show up for the contest she was hosting. After some quick asking around she found out from her minions that Briar was in the middle of the bar crawl. Snarling up her nose as she made her way there and found her youngest just as they’d said. “Briar.” She greeted with a forced smile on her face. “We missed you at the costume contest, but I see you’re rather busy.” She remarked before taking a seat across from her youngest. “I’m sure being here is important thought, right? Clearly you must be networking because what other good reason would you have to miss your mother’s contest?”

"i hope you're not trying to lure me into selling your apartment by buying me ice cream," he jokes, spoon stabbing into his double scoop cup of rocky road. "because it's gonna take more than this. c'mon lyss, you can't think i'd let you move away and leave me all alone here ?"

avoidance  could've  been achieved  with  ease, dancing and playing host easy excuses despite them all being in the great hall, but trystane slowly walked over to his half-sister nonetheless. approach wasn't made empty-handed. the plate in his hand held a pastry they remembered alyssa reaching for in the past. an attempt at a peace offering, an olive branch, neither - he himself was unsure.  ❝ there were only a few of these pastries left. i didn't want you to miss out - if you haven't had one yet. ❞

"well,  it's  reassuring  to  know  it's  an  option,  isn't  it?  even  if  you  don't  end  up  doing  it,  it  puts  things  into  perspective.  nothing  is  ever  really  permenant  if  you  don't  want  it  to  be.  no  matter  what  it  is,"  he  shrugged  casually,  knowing  that  despite  having  a  few  tattoos  he  didn't  particularly  care  for,  he  wouldn't  go  through  the  process  of  getting  them  removed  anyway.  it  felt  like  too  much  of  a  hassle  for  something  that  served  as  memory  on  his  timeline.  significant,  or  not,  he  would  keep  it.  "i'm  noting  that  for  later  though,  just  in  case,  and  yes,  i  will  be  holding  it  against  you,"  he  joked,  knowing  if  it  were  to  happen  he  would  fully  take  advantage  of  an  ‘i  told  you’  so  moment.  "well,  then,  we  agree  here  right?  sharpay  was  superior  and  they  should've  just  made  it  her  own  show  or  musical  or  whatever  it  was  they  had  going  on  for  them,"  at  this  point,  he  wasn't  really  sure  if  he  was  mixing  up  different  movies  together.  "i  saw  enough  to  form  an  opinion  and  judge,  don't  you  think?  it  sort  of  gets  repetitive  throughout.  well,  at  least  tell  me  it  gets  better  in  the  second  or  third  one?"

"  i  heard  that  you  could  get  them  removed.  but  why  would  i  get  it  only  to  want  it  to  be  removed  later  on?  "  evidently,  that  does  happen.  but  she  was  new  to  this.  "  plus,  i  heard  that  stuff  kind  of  hurts,  doesn't  it?  you  know  what  ―   that  settles  it.  i'm  just  sticking  to  getting  one  or  two.  maybe  in  spots  that  aren't  too  noticeable  or  something.  "  seemed  like  the  best  case  scenario.  especially  if  she  decided  one  day  that  she  didn't  like  it."  she  raised  her  eyes  as  he  spoke  and  shook  her  head  at  his  response.  "  i  don't  think  that  i'd  ever  be  able  to  just  keep  on  adding.  it  does  fit  you,  i  will  say  that.  "  she  laughed  a  little  at  the  expression  and  reaction  he  had  to  her  previous  words.  "  i  believe  that  is  exactly  what  i  had  just  said.  now  isn't  it?  "  she  laughed  a  little  bit  at  him  pretending  like  he  even  knew  anything  about  the  movie  to  begin  with.  "  sharpay  deserved  more  solo's,  in  my  opinion.  i  didn't  get  to  be  dramatic  enough.  you'd  be  surprised.  in  my  opinion,  i  happen  to  think  that  they  had  only  gotten  better.   let  me  say,  you  sure  do  have  a  lot  to  say  for  someone  who  never  even  saw  it,  so  i  will  save  my  arguments.  "
