a closed starter for @ctrldchaos featuring tamsin and graham.

"hey!" was that too enthusiastic of a greeting? tamsin didn't know but the second it left her lips it left her internally cringing. it had been easy enough shooting messages with graham back and forth and she hadn't felt too worried about actually meeting up with her. until now, that was. the few other times they'd spent time together had been happy little accidents and there was something in her that felt — embarrassed by the idea that she was going out of her way to see her. swirling the straw around in her drink, she took a rather hefty sip and then offered a smile. "how are you? you look good."

"I may have gone a little far decorating your apartment-" First words out of his mouth once West walked through the door. Indeed, the place was suddenly Halloween central. "We g-got a...a big tip from our last graveyard video so I bought it all with that."

"surprise!" sofia said with a bottle of champagne in one hand and a bottle of tequila in the other. she knew how important this interview was to merritt, it was the job of her dreams and even though it was far away she hoped that she got it. it was a bit difficult for both of them to try and find something after school. thankfully sofia found something close to school with a handful of their other friends deciding to stick around and stay local. "i have a feeling we'll be opening the champagne…" she said with a smile and a small wiggle of her eyebrows. they had done the distance before from both of their internships and even though it took a bit of time for them to get into a schedule but she knew that they had both grown from them and could make it worth it. "if you're feeling ballsy we can still have the tequila but that's just in case they're making you go through another interview." the last thing she wanted was for her to get rejected especially since she knew how hard she had been trying and how badly she wanted this. as she took a seat on her couch in her apartment, she set both bottles down on her coffee table and gave her a wide smile. "c'mon i want to hear all about it. how did it go? did you have that same lady as last time? you said she really liked you."

"Oh, you know..." Trailing off with a shrug of her shoulders, eyes trained on his face, watching how a smirk quirks the corners of his lips. He would find this amusing. eyes rolling as he speaks again, "And there is the exact reason why." Shaking her head, this time in amusement, her facade of annoyance quickly dissolves as laughter falls from her lips. Hands moving to push at his chest, "Yeah, that's why? Not because you're trying to lay some weird sort of claim on me to your friends?" Was she taunting him? Yes, of course, she could never pass up the opportunity to rake him over the coals. "Also, no chance a loser like you could bag a total hottie like me," Winking at him with a flash of a cheeky grin.

this was twice in the last week alone that slater had convinced her friends to come to this bar, pretending she was interested in their life updates when really she was just waiting to spy a certain someone behind the bar. the very moment she caught sight of her, she was distracted, peering at her over and over, wondering if cruz had noticed her too. eventually she made her excuse to go over, promising she'd bring back shots as she beelined to where the object of her desire happened to be. "fancy seeing you here."

closed: @ctrldchaos  plot: x who: eden rockwell, she/her, 30, investigative reporter

nearly as soon as she’d leaned in to close the gap between them, pressing her lips against theirs without even being fully conscious of her actions, eden felt filled with regret. “oh— oh god.” just as quickly as she’d leaned in, she recoiled, a hand covering her mouth as if she could physically wipe away the evidence of what she’d just done. “i’m so, so sorry, i don’t... i shouldn’t have done that. i didn’t mean to.” the most confusing aspect of all was that it hadn’t been a mistake. staring into their eyes after having poured her heart out to her boyfriend’s best friend, eden really had wanted to kiss them. and, more than that, she’d liked it.

“This is why fruit cake should be illegal.” Molly shook her head, holding onto her bleeding hand. She’d been trying to cut the awful thing when she’d slipped. When Jessie moved to help her, the redhead offered an apologetic hum. “No, it’s okay. It’s really not that bad, I promise.” Molly didn’t want the other having to go into work mode and fix her up.

How could she react to this? How could either of them? They were both in their middle age now, both with histories of failed marriages and neither had given the other indication that parenthood was something that they wanted. And yet, while being thoroughly terrified at the two little lines that were staring up at her, amidst the confusion and uncertainty, there was a little part of her that was considering the revelation to be ok. 

“I don’t know...” Lifting her gaze, she looked to Bryant and let out a soft breath. “We never discussed this. It wasn’t even something worth discussing.”

"This is the third time this week-" Drew said to the other like it wasn't obvious to the both of them. Amidst the thumping music and barely clothed dancers, Drew stood on the floor. Normally this was his time to look for anyone who wanted a private lap dance in the backrooms. And thus Tati always seemed to appear. At least, more often than any other person or regular. One hand played with the satin side of his pan.ties, just enough to cover what needed to be. Everything else was more or less on display. "-Lose a bet to hit up a dancer this much?" A joke to break apart the nerves he felt. It was never good for a dancer to catch feelings.

as much as sofia wanted to hide in her room at just the thought of another party, this time their house was hosting. after everything that happened with merritt, she assumed the two of them had left off on good terms. she spent the whole night there and even had the brunette walk her back home, promising that they would hang out to no prevail. she hadn't heard anything from her, and she asked many of her sisters if she was overthinking all of this to which they said she'd reach out eventually. it seemed like that never came, and here they were hosting their frat once again. maybe she thought they had too much of a connection, and merritt was just looking for something quick like everyone else. that thought lingered far to long in her head for someone she had only met once. finally she pulled herself out of bed and got dressed in whatever theme they decided on before heading downstairs.

the party was already in full swing once she came downstairs and similar to their first meeting, sofia had a beer in hand and decided to hang in the corner. every now and then she'd engage in conversation, but her eyes were locked on the crowd trying to see if merritt would show up. she was almost done sipping her second beer when she saw another mob of brothers walk in and quickly picked out the brunette from the crowd. her heart sped up as she tried not to stare but it was much easier said than done. there was a huge mix of emotions filling her, excitement that she showed up, anger that she hadn't reached out and had the nerve to show up now. her eyes flickered back down, hoping that she would come over and if not, that one of her sisters or her brothers would push them together.

"...right." thea wants to probe a little more, see what andrea really means by that. she had to wonder if it was the fact the two of them had never been able to get married that allowed her to draw that conclusion or if it was the reason they'd never got married. regardless, now doesn't seem like the time to hash it out. "good to know," she muses, sipping her drink again. she lets out a bit of a laugh at that. "marriage can bring out the worst in people — or well, weddings can. marriage can too i guess but i've run into a few bridezillas in my time." really, she gets it. the pressure of wanting a day to be absolutely perfect. however, she fears the people that push for something like that are trying to cover for other misdoings. "i once had a woman insist i source natural blue roses. which, if it wasn't obvious, don't exist. had a total meltdown about it and everything. i felt awful for her friends trying to calm her down..."

Dre shook her head, that wasn't even close to her reason for thinking it wasn't in the cards for her. "It's not that it's not for me, we wouldn't have gotten engaged if I was against marriage. I just think I missed my chance." It slipped out before she could stop it, part of her wishes she could take it back but she had never been good at hiding things from Thea. Even now it seemed like Thea had an innate ability to make all of her walls come down. "We can forget I said that." She toys with the cup in front of her. "I think it'll always be the case." There was no way in hell she'd ever not be into Thea. "I will let her know. I think she'd cut me from the wedding party if she thought our history would get in the way of her perfect day. She's kind of ruthless. Saw her bridezilla the other day, it was nuts. I've never seen her that way, I swear that her eyes turned red. I won't let her do that to you, not that I think she'd have any reason to do that to you or that you couldn't hold your own. I'm sure you've dealt with your fair share of tricky clients."

“Oh no you are right on base, I am definitely the hottest person here besides you of course,” Teasing the man with a soft chuckle as drink is drained and placed on the bar. “Well see about that, maybe you should try buying a girl a drink before you ask her if she’ll fuck you. And lucky for you I just finished mine.” Grin flashed as hand extends towards him, “Thea, by the way.”
