"oh, he is?" thea echoes, not entirely upset to hear that news. it does feel like a little stab to her ego to know that ella is interested perhaps only because he's gone but she'll take it. "a real girls night sounds good," she agrees, forcing a smile on to her lips, "i'm picking the movie, though."

"i missed you, too," cecilia admits, lips brushing against gabi's as she whispers in secrecy, a truth that belongs to the two of them. "but it's ... we shouldn't, really." quite clearly, she's more so attempting to convince herself than gabi. just don't leave any marks, she almost says, but that would defeat the purpose of trying (a half-assed attempt) not to go through with this.

Julie jumped slightly when she heard her best friend’s voice, cursing to herself. She had known this was a bad idea and yet here she was. She was about to pull her mouth off and immediately start apologizing but then she heard the rest of her sentence asking her to keep going. She certainly wasn’t going to deny them what they wanted, her hand leaving her breast, sliding down to rest on her hip, pulling her closer to her as she continued to show attention to her chest before finally pulling back a little. “I couldn’t help myself.” She whispered before taking the other nipple in her mouth.

Esme shook her head at Gabi's words. "I wouldn't abandon you if your safety was in question, but I would much rather not have to go out." She added, as Esme would never forgive herself if something happened to Gabi because of her. "I picked up a little bit of everything, to be honest. I made the mistake of going to the store hungry." Esme laughed as it was a known fact that was a bad idea. "Couldn't you just take a bunch of pictures and post them online? Then everyone will know how great you look without you actually having to go anywhere. It's a win-win."

Gabi leaned against the doorway looking at the blonde. She did make some good points. She was hesitant, she was already all dressed up. "This is tempting." The raven-haired woman raised an eyebrow. "Also what I'm hearing is that you wouldn't come pick my drunk ass up?" Her tone sarcastic, and she pushes herself off the doorway. "What kind of snacks?" Gabi sat at the edge of the bed, slowly caving. "I got all dressed up. I don't want my costume to go to waste." She pouted, looking at the blonde. "You're slowly starting to convince me."

"her exact words were that i should probably hold on more to relationships that involve more emotional connections," summer explained, shrugging. "which basically sounds like no more hook-ups to me. i don't know. she's got that job for a reason, right?"

Abigail watched her follow with a smile. She couldn't help but admire the younger woman. But the comment about the way Lennon dressed made a small chuckle slip from the older woman's lips. "Don't worry, it's not that kind of conversation. Also, I like the way you dress... But that can be saved for another time. I've noticed that recently you seem a bit distracted and distant. I just wanted to check if everything was okay? Or if I can support you at all?"

Lennon raised an eyebrow, setting her coffee down on her desk. "Uh, yeah, what's up?" The blonde followed her boss into their office, closing the door behind her, looking Abigail up and down, biting down on her lip. "Is this about how I dress? I can start dressing more professionally. Please don't fire me."

"What can I say-- when I get an idea in my head, I can't get it out." She giggles at her clear eagerness, but she's never been one for hiding how she feels, for better or for worse. Her eyes drift down to Trixie's lips for a second before making eye contact. "Hotel room, huh? I'm game. Let's keep the neighbours up."

Trixie bit down on her lip, looking at the brunette across from her. "That's fair." The other had a point, Trixie had been talking a big game and she had not proven her words to be true. "I promise." Trixie's lip turned into a smirk as the other downed her glass. "Damn, Khadijah." The brunette quickly sipped her own drink. "Why don't we pull out all the stops? We are in a hotel bar after all. I can get us a room."

daxton's no strings attached attitude had been fool proof for years, protecting their already unstable emotions and abandonment issues. that was until river managed to somehow slip through the cracks. it wasn't something they wanted her to know, they had a good thing going and daxton refused to ruin that and risk being hurt again. someone like them didn't belong in her world or even near it for that fact. "you don't want this life," they found themselves saying. even if they did know the real her, this wasn't suppose to be anything more than just sex and they were talking as if it were, like they had the chance to have a life together. the mention of her boyfriend caused them to scrunch up their nose, "all the gear and no idea. what a loser." daxton didn't know much about him but they were sure he was no different to every other rich and entitled male of the world. their eyes fell to hers, the corners of their mouth threatening to curl into a teasing smile, "you're welcome by the way." daxton had to keep her at an arms length, river had the potential to really fuck them up, no matter how badly they wanted her. studying the perfect features on her face only confirmed that for them. daxton watched her get up, eyes following her to the doorway. letting out a breath, dax stood to follow her to the doorway where gently they pushed her back against the door, towering over her, "you're right, i am fucking upset." leaning down, daxton connected their lips, kissing her roughly, desperately as the passion for her escaped them.

river knew how she felt about daxton. there was simply no denying that, she would be lying if she told herself she didn't have feelings for them. however, it was complicated and she had no idea how daxton truly felt about her. the pair didn't have many serious conversations. they had their routine, but somewhere along the lines, river's feelings went from pure lust to real feelings. "my dad has this vision of what my life should be like. he doesn't know the real me, you do." she bites down on her lip, looking down at daxton's lips before looking back up to their face. "for the record, i don't think you're trailer trash and you 'rail' me way better than my boyfriend does anyway." she leans in closer to the brunette. the blonde wanted to scream how she really felt about them, but she was scared. she was scared they didn't feel the same. she allowed herself to be trapped in this seemingly perfect lifestyle when all she wanted was to be herself and be happy. daxton made her happy. "can we please go inside now? it's freezing out here." she stood up and leaned against the doorway. "but first, kiss me. i hate when you're upset with me."

"TALK... RIGHT, OKAY... SURE, YEAH." olivia nodded. "so... why'd you do it? you knew we were supposed to go together, so like, did you just-- not wanna go after all?"

muse: olivia tanner, 26. tattoo parlor employee. test muse! plot: your muse stood olivia up on prom night some years ago, and now they're sitting down to talk for the first time since that night.

notes: femmes/nb preferred! only muses within 1-2 year differences allowed. DO NOT LIKE MY STARTERS!

"YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD JUST show up here after... eight years, eight years-- and everything would just... be okay again magically?" olivia's voice was on the verge of breaking all over again as she could barely bring herself to look at the other.

"Well-- that's all it's been lately." She watches Trixie carefully, her smile softening as she takes in the tall brunette. "Promise?" She takes her drink and downs it quickly-- giving her a bit of a headrush--but she doesn't flinch. She giggles as her head spins. "All done."

Trixie took a long sip of her drink before setting it down in front of her. "You think it's all talk?" The brunette raised her eyebrow, looking at the woman in front of her. Trixie leaned in close across the bar. "After we finish our drinks, why don't we get out of here and I'll show you that I'm not all talk."

[sunliights]

"great." thea would probably sound a little more enthusiastic if not for the circumstances but at the very least, she would just take whatever it was that she could get. the question made her force a small smile on to her lips. "of course i'm okay, why?" a more genuine laugh came from her at ella's complaint and she shook her head. "no, no. you don't get to make any requests, this is all me. besides, i don't pick bad movies!"

ella nodded. "yeah, so you have me all to yourself." the blonde half-joked. "yay!" ella squealed before turning her full attention to the brunette. she watched her lips form into a small. ella knew her best friend like the back of her hand, she could sense some tension. "are you okay?" she raised her eyebrow. "ugh, fine. pick something good please? you know how i feel about some of your movie choices."

Esme let out a soft sigh as she'd been hoping that it would be easy to convince Gabi to stay in. However, it seemed that Esme had her work cut out for her. "There's more upsides to staying in. You don't need to deal with the cold air on your face, drunken people trying to pick you up, or having to pay a stupid amount of money for an Uber to get home." Esme said as she was hoping it was enough to get Gabi to at least think about it. "Not to mention I picked out a ton of good snacks that you'd miss out on if you go out."

Gabi turned around, looking at the blonde. The brunette was already in her Halloween costume when Esme asked her to stay in. "That sounds amazing, you know I would love to do that with you." She looked into the mirror and smoothed out her dress. "But I'm all ready and I already responded and said I would go to the party." Gabi inhaled, looking at the blonde. The brunette raised an eyebrow. "You want to convince me, huh?" She stepped forward, getting closer to the blonde. "You can try." The brunette smirked.

daxton stiffened as river moved to sit beside them, their eyes still trained ahead of them, looking out into the night. they came from two completely different worlds, yet their paths still managed to cross and daxton was the one she came running to each night, far from her seemingly perfect life. "i could only imagine what he'd think of his perfect little girl sneaking out to get railed by trailer trash." they'd made it sound like an amusing joke but really, they were dead serious. they couldn't want her more than this. society wouldn't allow it and they'd been hurt enough in their life, not to mention she had a boyfriend. their eyes closed at her words, not wanting to give in to what their heart was screaming at them to say, "do you think you'd be here if i didn't?" the smell of river's perfume was intoxicating to them, a smell they'd recognise anywhere as they finally turned their head to find her inches away, "i'm fucking infuriated." the words were barely above a whisper as their eyes fell immediately to her lips.

river shook her head hearing daxton's comment about her mansion. the blonde sat down on the steps next to them. "i'm here now. i'm not denying that i'm late and i'm not trying to make up an excuse. i wasn't going to miss coming over here just because my dad got home later than normal." river brushed a curled blonde lock behind her ear, looking at daxton. "don't do that. i think we both know that you would be missing out as well." the blonde's lip formed into a smirk. "i think we both know you enjoy me being underneath you almost every single night." the blonde leaned closer to them, her perfume replacing the cigarette smell. she paused before answering daxton's question. "kind of, because that means you care." she whispered, her face inches away from daxton's.

[softdrabbles]

taking another draw of their cigarette their eyes finally moved to her, trailing over her body, "you don't have enough secret escape routes out of that fancy mansion of yours?" far from their rundown apartment where they met almost every night. daxton was more frustrated with themselves, that they cared enough to think she was standing them up. "you're the one who's missing out, not me." which was a lie. having her underneath them was the highlight of their day, not that they would admit to that. "do you want me to be mad?" they breathed out, putting out their cigarette in the ash tray.

river let her purse fall off her shoulder as she looked at daxton, sitting outside on their steps. the blond could sense the tension. "i know, i am so sorry." river stepped closer to the steps. "my dad came home later than usual so i had to wait for him to go to bed. i know i'm late. but i did show. i'm here now." the blonde looked down at them. "are you mad?"
