Overthinking

Summary: Raleigh gets his sister's unsolicited opinion regarding his love life

Pairing/Characters: Raleigh Carrera x F!MC (Destiny Katz; No Appearence); feat. Aaliyah Hadid

Book: Platinum

Rating: General

A/N: Omg another draft I'm on a roll imao, hope you like it! Also, just to clarify, Aaliyah and Raleigh are actually half-siblings. It's not super relevant to this fic but I thought I would point it out

"Does it always take you this long to send a text message, Ral?"

Raleigh practically jumped at her sister's sudden appearance behind him. "What the hell, Liya?!" She chuckled and handed him a glass of apple cider.

"As someone who works for the FBI," Raleigh rolled his eyes before Aaliyah could finish her sentence, which earned him a slap on the shoulder. "AHEM! Roll your eyes at me again and see what happens."

"Cute, is that what all FBI agents say? Or is it just insufferable sisters who never shut up about being an agent," he said, casually shielding the screen from her.

"I was actually going to say you're horrible at being sneaky. Like anyone could see you nervously attempting to text her from a mile away. You usually only take a few seconds to reply to texts."

"Okay, Genius," He mumbled, knowing it wasn't a great insult if it was technically true.

Raleigh sighed and invited her to sit next to him. She settled herself onto the couch and rested her head on her palm. "Why are you so jumpy? Are you asking her out on a first date or something?"

"I wouldn't say first date..."

Aaliyah gasps dramatically. "Raleigh Bartholomew Carrera!"

"How are your fake middle names only getting worse-"

"You're falling in love with your fake girlfriend!" she says uncharacteristically excitedly. She clapped her hands like an eager child who was given candy. "What's her name again?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" he asks sarcastically.

"...Yes Ral, that's why I'm asking," Aaliyah sighed, her eyebrows furrowed as she thinks. "Wait! It's the One in a Million winner...something Katz? She was incredible."

Destiny.

"Shocking. You guessed who it was by using the internet," he scoffed.

"Destiny!" she called out, ignoring his tone. "Maybe it was fate you were both meant to be in love." She gently elbowed him. Raleigh didn't like getting his hopes up, but the fact that his own sister was being so optimistic about his relationship which she never was had to mean something, right?

"We have to go on another fake date before some award show and I remembered she said she's always wanted to go to an opera."

Aaliyah groaned. "Then take her to the opera, Ral! You don't need to overthink that part of the date right now. You already know her and what she likes and from the way you describe her, I'm 100% sure she likes you back. Now focus on being a good guy. I could see the headlines now: Raleigh Carrera's New Relationship Shows Operatunity."

"Since when do you care about my public image?"

"I don't. I care about your publisher not dying of stress," she comments, casually stealing the phone from him. "You know what? I'm going to handle this, just stay back until I get your final text approval."

"Whatever." Aaliyah smiles and furiously texts away at what she considers a perfect response. Raleigh leans back and sips the cold apple cider and suppresses a laugh. It's been a while since he's last cared this much about impressing a fake girlfriend. Or making sure they eventually end things on a good note.

Hopefully, he doesn't mess it up.

A/N: And the two meet Ethan and my MC at the opera. End of story

~.~

“okay but, who’s actually hosting this?” sam yelled through the booming music.

“dunno, and definitely don’t care,” raleigh shouted back, dancing his way towards samantha. “the party’s lit!”

sam chuckled, and rolling her eyes she clung her arms around raleigh’s neck and swayed her hips to the music, looking down to the tip of her shimmery heels. “yeah, i guess it kinda is.”

raleigh took his girlfriend by the hips and guided her towards him, closer. his breath hot against her left cheekbone.

his hands went down to her backside, grabbing it lightly. “you’re killing me.” he whispered next to her ear, one of his hands going to the small of her back and the other one settling on her waist.

even with the lack of illumination in the packed room, raleigh noticed the flush on sam’s cheeks. he loved seeing the effect he had on his girlfriend and how flustered she’d get every time they got handsy in public, even though in that moment no one was really paying attention to them.

the heat between them rose alongside the music’s volume. neither sam nor raleigh paid much attention to which song was playing until raleigh’s song “famous” came up and the people around them started cheering and whistling because of the closeness between them, making sam blush harder and raleigh’s smirk grow wider.

“does it happen often?” samantha asked, looking at her boyfriend with a little smile on her face, hands still clasped together on the back of his neck.

“every single time,” he said with a sigh. “it gets tiring.”

“oh, how humble of you, mister carrera,” samantha joked, rolling her eyes still smiling at him.

“have i ever told you how fucking stunningly gorgeous you are?” he muttered. his eyes darkened as he stood very close to her, eyes flicking between her eyes and her lips. “specially when you’re blushing for me like this.”

sam’s heart was racing and her whole body trembled when he started placing kisses from the corner of her lips to her neck, noticeable goosebumps on her skin once he got there. “raleigh...”

“you need someone to keep your fire lit,” raleigh started singing in her ear, while their bodies moved together to the song. “let’s make our exit. can’t keep my hands off of you know, and i know you don’t want me to stop...”

this time sam took the initiative and tangling her hand on the ends of his hair, she pulled him to a hot kiss, gaining a muffled groan from him.

“damn it,” he muttered in between hard breaths, taking her by the hand dragging her all the way through the huge crowd of grinding people to the staircase that lead to the second floor.

they walked fast paced towards one of the rooms of the mansion. sam was a giggly staggering mess behind raleigh’s determined steps, until they finally found an empty room.

as he opened the door and they made their way inside, raleigh expertly took sam by the hip with one hand and pushed her back with his body, shutting the door closed and he quickly locked it with his other hand.

“greedy, aren’t we?” sam joked in between kisses.

“with you? always.” he mumbled, lifting her from her feet making sam wrap her legs around him, his body pressed against hers pushing her to the door. “i can’t seem to get enough of you.”

sam pushed her high heels off, making them fall to the ground with a loud thud. raleigh kissed her lips desperately before grabbing her firmly, taking her to the bed. he laid her body slowly on the soft mattress and hovered over it.

raleigh’s lips caught her neck now, knowing exactly where to place his kisses to make her moan uncontrollably. “you like that, don’t you?”

she chuckled and pushed him slightly to loosen his tie and help him out of his tuxedo and shirt. “why were you jealous of harry and liam earlier?”

raleigh stopped himself midway towards her lips, closing his eyes and flopping on the bed next to her, making her laugh. “you really do know how to kill the mood, princesa.”

“you didn’t answer my question!” she exclaimed playfully hitting his bare chest. “i’m serious, carrera. what got into you back there?”

he stared at the ceiling for a couple of seconds until she propped herself on her arm to look at him. she was about to protest again when he took a deep breath and started talking.

“first of all, i wasn’t jealous. raleigh carrera does not get jealous. it’s just...” he began, unsure how to proceed. “you got so excited when you found out they were there. it felt like you forgot about me for a sec’, then you started talking and you got all flustered. you know how much i love making you blush harder than my d-“

sam laughed cutting him off, for the first time in as long as she could remember, making raleigh blush. he was still distractedly looking at the ceiling, avoiding her eyes. seeing the opportunity she sat up and moved over him, straddling him.

she moved her hair to the side and took his hands to her neck where the beginning of her zipper was. him, taking the hint, dragged it down and helped her pull the tight dress over her head throwing it somewhere on the bedroom floor, revealing her lacy black victoria’s secret underwear. “now, tell me something real quick, baby. who’s the one enjoying the view right now?”

he propped himself up on his elbows, arching an eyebrow at her. she lowered her head and kissed his lips, softly.

she broke the kiss, keeping her face so close to his that their lips were still touching each other’s. “who’s the one i’m kissing right now, huh?”

raleigh sat up with a grin, and sam lifted herself a little with her legs, helping him out of his pants, only their underwear between their hot bodies. when she sat back down on his growing bulge, she grinned as he tried to stifle a moan.

“mhm, i might actually need your help here. i can’t seem to recall who i am sitting over right now?” she tapped her finger lightly on her chin, keeping up with her game. raleigh only bit his bottom lip, his eyes looking hungrily at her almost naked body in front of him.

but even as samantha tried to play her little game, she was not much of a top. raleigh got a little desperate below her and decided to take control of the whole situation by flipping positions, both of their eyes locked on each other’s.

“me...” he muttered, his voice low and husky. he started kissing her neck slowly, getting a low moan from her, which brought his characteristic smirk back to his face. “your boyfriend.”

ever since their relationship became official, samantha loved calling him her boyfriend. her heart fluttered and her stomach did somersaults every time that little word left her -or his- lips.

he started leaving a trail of kisses from her neck to her chest, and slowly going back up to her lips. her back arched, pushing her hips towards his, making him moan. she brought his face to hers, her hands tangling in his hair as the kiss grew hotter and hungrier.

“it doesn’t matter how many posters of them, you or even avery, i might’ve had, or if i sang more of your songs than theirs... you’re my boyfriend now. i love you, and i only want to be with you.” she said steadily while holding his cheek with her right hand and looking directly in his beautiful brown eyes. “got it?”

“te amo.” he placed a soft kiss on her forehead, telling her with it all the words his mouth couldn’t mutter, making her giggle below him. “got the message loud and clear, preciosa.”

~•~

vobulary: te amo (i love you), preciosa (beautiful, precious, darling...), princesa (princess).

Starstruck

A/N: Part of the Choices Valentine’s Day party! Requested by @vampireprincess1212

Raleigh didn’t do romance, it wasn’t on brand for her. But ever since she’d met Cadence, her brand seemed a lot less appealing. And so, she found herself adding the final touches to a rooftop picnic, one that she was sure Cadence would love. She surveyed the scene before her, a smile on her face. It was perfect. She opened her phone, sending Cadence a text.

Meet me on the roof

Now, all she had to do was wait. Just...wait. Right here. Until Cadence showed up and, hopefully, rushed into her arms. She could feel her stomach jumping, and she felt like she was in a bounce house, the same way she always felt before a big show. But...more.

She ran her hands through her hair quickly, feeling frazzled. She’d be here any minute. Maybe this was a mistake. Maybe she’d hate it.

She pulled her phone from her pocket, ready to tell Cadence to forget it when the door opened.

She stepped out, stunning as ever. Raleigh shoved her phone back in her pocket, striding over to her quickly. “Uh, hey!” she said, waving her hand, scolding herself in her head.

What an idiot! Uh, hey? Jesus Raleigh!

“Happy Valentine’s Day,” she said, taking Cadence’s hand.

“Oh Raleigh,” Cadence said, spotting the picnic across the roof. “You didn’t have to do all this!”

“I know,” Raleigh said, matching her wide smile. “I wanted to.”

Cadence wrapped her arm around Raleigh’s as she led her over to the picnic she prepared. They plopped down on the blanket and Raleigh popped the cork on the champagne, pouring Cadence a glass.

“Oh, my,” said Cadence as she took a sip. “This is wonderful.”

“It’s the best I could find,” Raleigh said, setting out the food. “Only the best for you.”

Cadence blushed. She wasn’t used to Raleigh being so sweet. Usually, she was more...rebel without a cause? It was a nice change of pace.

“Thank you, Raleigh, this is amazing,” she said, eyes wandering over her lips.

“You like it?” Raleigh asked with a wide smile.

“I do,” Cadence replied.

“Oh good,” Raleigh sighed. “I have to admit, I was terrified you’d hate it.”

“Never!” said Cadence, taking her hand. “Even if it wasn’t as wonderful as it is, I’d still love it because it came from you.”

“Yea?” asked Raleigh, unconvinced.

“Absolutely,” Cadence replied, cocking her head. “You don’t believe me?”

“I--” Raleigh pondered. “I do, it’s just...I dunno, I guess I never feel good enough for people.”

Cadence looked at her, brows furrowed. “What do you mean?”

“Well,” she began, looking at her hands. “I dunno, I guess I just feel like people only want to be around me because I’m famous. Ever since I was a kid, the people I loved would leave me. None of my friends stuck around, my dad...it just seemed like, ah, I dunno...like I wasn’t worth sticking around for. And then when I got famous, people stuck around, but it wasn’t because they liked me. It was because they liked what I could do for them.”

“Oh Raleigh,” Cadence said, moving closer. “I’m so sorry that you feel that way. But I promise you, you are absolutely worth sticking around for. I--” Cadence hesitated, wary of sharing too much. “Don’t think I’m weird, but I can’t imagine my life without you. I know we’re just figuring things out, but you’re so important to me.”

“I am?” Raleigh was surprised to hear that. She knew how important Cadence was to her, but she’d never dared to think that she might feel the same way. Her eyes burned, her heart swelling with emotions she hadn’t felt in years.

“Of course,” Cadence replied, taking Raleigh’s hands in hers. “I just...I don’t know how to describe it. When I’m with you, all of the other stuff, the lights and cameras and drama, it all slips away. You’re my safe space to land at the end of the day. I feel like I can be myself with you, and that’s so rare to find for people like us.”

“Wow,” Raleigh said, brushing her eyes with the back of her hand. “That’s exactly how I feel. It’s just so real between us, you know? It’s been so long since I’ve had that.”

“I’m really glad I can be that for you,” Cadence said, touching her hand to Raleigh’s face. “All I want to do is make you happy.”

“You do,” Raleigh said, turning her face to kiss Cadence’s hand. They looked at each other, eyes blazing with desire and understanding.

Raleigh coughed, breaking eye contact. She could feel every nerve ending in her body as she reached over to grab a blanket and wrap around them.

“You know,” Raleigh said as she moved closer to Cadence. “The roof is a great place to look at the stars.”

Cadence looked up, gasping. They were high enough that they could see beyond the city lights to the sky full of stars. It was absolutely beautiful.

While Cadence was marveling at the stars, Raleigh was marveling at her. The light hit her face in a way that was almost angelic, her eyes shimmering in wonder. She had never looked as beautiful as she did at that moment.

She reached out, brushing a stray piece of hair behind her ear. Cadence turned, her eyes meeting Raleigh’s.

“You’re more beautiful than the entire galaxy,” Raleigh said, closing the space between them. Their lips collided, the sheer energy between them enough to create a star itself. They moved against each other as the stars shined above them, a supernova exploding as one.

Thanks for the prompt anon! :) 

Prompt #15: Calming them down when they have a bad dream.

Ship: m!Raleigh Carrera x Lennon Paige

Word Count: 440 words

Rated: T (kissing)

If you would like to submit a prompt like this one, please find the post from 50-item-writing-prompts here

Moonlight trickled in through the window — casting a white light on the dark sheets of the California king bed.

Raleigh laid with half of his naked, tattooed torso exposed — the bottom half of him wrapped in the soft duvet. His fingers were tapping on his chest lightly, as he stared up at the ceiling. He was trying to finish the melody that was stuck in his head. It had followed him into the bed that night — a habit he was trying to get out of. But now it was three in the morning and he was still wide awake.

Looking over to his side, his dark eyes followed the curve of Lennon’s body laying next to him. She had turned on her side — exposing her bare back to him. He watched her shoulder rise and fall as she breathed — and a soft smile spread across his face.

She was staying over more and more now. Not that he was complaining — Raleigh would have her laying in that bed, waiting for him every damn day if he could. He felt better when she was there — he liked knowing she was there.

He was in very deep with Lennon Paige.

The melody in his head was to match with the lyrics he had written for her.

The tapping on his chest stopped abruptly as he felt her stir from the other side of the bed. His breath hitched — hoping he hadn’t woken her. But he watched as her breath started increasing and her legs starting kicking under the blankets.

Instinctually, Raleigh slid over closer to her — grabbing onto her shoulder tenderly. “Hey. Hey, Lennon,” He whispered softly. But she didn’t wake up. He ran his fingers through her hair, brushing her forehead. “S’okay. S’okay.” He repeated a few times until she suddenly snapped her eyes open.

“Raleigh?” She croaked.

“I’m right here, baby.” He reassured her.

Spinning around, she buried her face into his tan chest. She fit into him perfectly, and he easily wrapped his arms around her — somehow drawing her in even closer.

“Bad dream?” He asked softly.

He felt her nod in response.

“I’m sorry,” He started running his fingers through her soft, black hair — doing his best to calm her down. “Wanna talk about it?”

He felt her head shake against his chest.

“That’s okay.” Looking down, he kissed the top of her head — her hair tickling his nose. “I’m right here. I’m not going anywhere.”

“Thank you,” Lennon breathed out, before relaxing in his arms a little more.

Placing his chin onto the top of her head, he continued to stroke her hair and back. Humming the melody that was stuck in his head.

The Question - f!Avery x Mc

Warning: there´s smut as always. And this fic is long af, I don't know what got into me.

Rating: Mature

"Write me a jealous Avery fic" said my best friend. So there you go, Avery going nuts over Mc (Evelyn) and Raleigh's (female) fake relationship - choices book "Platinum"

Thank you @tyrilblue for correcting my english again 😂

(@neversleepgaius @choicesficwriterscreations @darlingnikki-prince )

She had seen Evelyn perform quite a few times by now. She had heard her voice, its raw emotion. Seen the way her chest fell and rose as she sang, the way her eyes brightened whenever she was doing what she loved the most - singing. That was one of the things that made her fall in love with that first video of that amazing girl singing.

Avery had heard the screams of the fans whenever they saw her. Had felt like screaming herself, had actually done it. Singing along with the person that made her heart flutter as if it was the end of the world. And yet… that feeling, of seeing her, hearing her was way too powerful to ever go away. The shivers that ran from the back of her neck to the bottom of her back. She could feel her chest tighten, and her hands grip the end of her dress, as her eyes never left Evelyn. A mixture of pride, excitement, and something else growing inside her chest…

Something that had exploded that day at the jacuzzi. She knew she had a role to fulfill, she was a mentor, a singer. A perfect picture, created for the benefit of everybody else, but her own. Her heart had grown used to containing all its emotions, to keeping them to itself and keeping them controlled. But all it took for it to just forget its job, was that dark hair, those dark brown eyes. And now…

There she was.

As Evelyn went to catch that high note that her voice could reach as easily as she could make Avery’s heart speed up, Raleigh smiled, pushing her by the waist, gently kissing the brunette’s neck with a smirk as she got ready to sing her part. The part Avery had sung when Evelyn first showed her that song… “The Question”. That’s what she had called it, smiling at Avery as if hinting to something else, something Avery hadn’t quite caught on.

The crowd went wild, screams could be heard all around, people whistling. The lights of the stage mixing with the light of the moon and the stars, a mix of blues from the sky and Evelyn’s clothing.

“This is what they want… all for show… just for the crowd… I know that”. She did.

She knew that as Raleigh started to sing her part, face so close to Evelyn’s and never breaking the soft eye contact. She knew that, as Evelyn left her microphone forgotten, both mouths close to the same one and sang as one, as if there was love there…  meant for them…

When she came back to herself, Avery noticed she had been singing under her breath. Hiding Raleigh’s voice under her own, singing the parts that had once been hers. But then again, she knew. Raleigh had to be the one performing that song with Evelyn. Their fake relationship had been going great, the fans were eating it up like honey. They wanted more, and what could be better than a romantic live performance? “Me being the one preforming…” Shut up. That was the perfect plan and the fan trying to invade the stage at the very corner was the proof of it. Hank would take care of it, don’t worry.

The last note was approaching, which made Avery forget the stranger to look back at them. Their smiles would have been contagious had she not been feeling the way she was.

Evelyn was stunning, with the widest smile she had ever had on her face, panting from all the high notes that song required, with the stage lights making everything about her shine. Avery felt like a little girl again. She’d always found that expression quite weird. But now she was able to understand it… “Mom, I want that!”, you know? “I really do… want her” she thought.

And now the part she didn’t want to see, and yet, her eyes didn’t move. They locked on Raleigh, as she got closer and closer to Evelyn, hands traveling down to her waist pressing the dark-haired girl closer once again. From where she was standing, she couldn’t see Evelyn’s face. Was she blushing? Did she really want that? Was she enjoying it? Did she wish it was them who were kissing…? Avery felt her breath catch, wanting to look away so bad, but at the same time, wanting to see right through Evelyn, know every single feeling that was going through her mind as she kissed another girl.

Raleigh slightly tilted Evelyn back as she kissed her lips. Numbness. Avery knew the crowd was screaming again but the noise around her was muffled.

She chuckled. Quite the dramatization, wasn’t it? Fiona had specifically asked for that moment, they had talked about it, and still it was punching her gut as if it had come out of the blue. 

Waving goodbye to the crowd, hand in hand, both singers started heading towards the wings of the stage where Avery awaited them. When they came out of view from the public Evelyn ran to Avery, jumping and hugging her tightly, giggling.

“What did you think?!” her face was completely flushed, and the smile she wore on her face could have melted anyone’s heart.

“It- It was amazing! You were perfect as always. The fans love you two together.” The girl answered smiling slightly, looking at both of them. Faking smiles was a thing she had grown used to doing, a skill she had mastered. For the paparazzi, interviewers, for fans when she was not feeling her best…. But when it came to those two… It hurt, having to pretend. 

As if on cue, Fiona appeared, followed by Hank, patting Evelyn and Raleigh on the shoulder.

“You two did great out there!! Give them 5 minutes and you’ll be trending again on twitter!” she said as she grabbed her phone, swiping away “Oh by the way, your date two days ago was genius! How did you think o-“

“OOOOOOKKKK… I’m here to celebrate this amazing show, can we stop talking about their fake relationship for a minute? Please? They barely got off stage”

Seeing her tiredness, Raleigh didn’t hesitate. The brunette put an arm around Avery’s shoulder, bringing her way too close, as they moved deeper inside the backstage.

“Oh come on! We haven’t even started talking about our marriage! You’ll be our maid of honor, right?? And then godmother of our little Evelyns and Raleighs! Just imagine it!”

To that, Evelyn reacted with a chuckle. One thing the singer loved about those two was their friendship. They were almost like siblings, the type that can’t stand each other, but would be miserable if apart. All the bickering and little jokes brightened her day, and she was grateful she had found them, to guide her, to support her and to love. In different ways… But love, nonetheless.

This time though, Avery seemed slightly different. As if she wasn’t enjoying the bickering as much as she usually did. The usual pure and lighthearted smile she wore while around them seemed now forced and tense, her arms were crossed over her chest and her face looking away from Raleigh, pretending to examine the small space around her.  

“Leave the poor girl alone for today” she chuckled, crossing her arm with Avery’s “We’ll talk about our future little demons later”.

Raleigh rolled her eyes playfully, changing her focus to Fiona, who started showing her something on the phone while talking way too fast for Evelyn’s brain to keep up. At the moment she was a bit more concerned with Avery.

Evelyn tried to get her attention by looking at her and holding her arm tighter against her, but the girl had spaced out, a heavy countenance molding her features.

“Avery…” she whispered softly, now standing in front of her to get her full attention as the others walked slightly further away.

And by doing so, it was as if Avery had been pulled out of the trance she had been in just some seconds ago.

This was not like her. All these confusing and conflicting feelings, messing with her mind and making her forget what she was actually there to do. To support Evelyn in this great moment, celebrate with her the show she had delivered to the fans. And yet, there she was, feeling jealous of her best friend. Feeling jealous for a person that wasn’t even hers. No. It had to stop there.

She raised her head higher and forced another smile “Sorry, love! You were saying?”

“Hey, Evelyn, come here” Fiona called out grinning and waving them closer, making the blonde sigh deeply to then exchange some looks with Eve. The older woman seemed way too excited for them to be safe.

“You just seemed like you were spacing out” Evelyn said as they began walking slowly towards the others who kept their attention focused on the phone.

“I’m honestly just tired. Today has been quite stressful for some reason” the girl chuckled, knowing pretty well what the reason was. Her ass had decided to wake up way too jealous for a person who had kissed her once - “But it was amazing seeing you perform. I’m proud of you. Really” That was the only part where her eyes were able to meet Evelyn’s. In fact, there was no way for her to be prouder of the black-haired girl who smiled warmly at those words, taking her hand and squeezing it gently, as a thank you. Those eyes again. Always so true and clear, showing their true feelings, unashamed. It didn’t mean though, that Avery caught all of them. The warmest one. Maybe she could see it wavering there but understanding that only one person had the privilege to actually see it in its truest form, and that that person was her… that part was harder.

They finally reached the other three. Raleigh kept her usual unimpressed expression while Hank and Fiona talked animatedly about whatever was on that damn phone. Once she saw Avery and Evelyn getting closer, she shot them a “Fucking kill me right here” look, so the younger singer intervened “Yes, Fiona?”.

The woman shoved the phone on Eve’s face as quickly as she could. On screen was a tweet with a paparazzi (not a very well payed paparazzi to be on that very specific spot, nooo) pic of her straddling Raleigh in a very public place (a very not planned moment where they were actually talking about how the curry they had eaten had not been a good choice for their fake date, nooo) “Raleigh Carrera and Evelyn Smith finally caught in action?”.

“As I was saying a while ago, I’m so proud of you two! You’re making it look so real, people are going crazy! Keep this up and you might have a surprise!”

“You’re making it look so real”  You know when you get a song stuck in your head? Yeah, this was what was now stuck in Avery’s. The smile she was trying to force was getting heavier and heavier by the second. Seeing Evelyn laugh and act as if it was not a big deal was hurting. But hearing “Raleigh is not that bad of a fake girlfriend” was everything she needed to burst. That little fake happiness bubble exploded.

“I-I gotta go to the bathroom” she tried to smile focusing now on Evelyn, only for a second, before darting away. So quickly and abruptly that even Fiona stopped to look at them, with Hank right by her side getting ready to go after the singer. But Raleigh stopped him gently, approaching Evelyn with a frown of concern.

“What was that?” she questioned, immediately helping Evelyn out of her mic gear.

“I don’t know… but I’ll find out. You three can go without us, we’ll catch up”

Finally done with the gear, Raleigh shook her head patting Evelyn on the back, gesturing her to go after Avery “We’ll wait for you here. Fiona won’t shut up, even if you take an hour in there, anyway, so don’t worry”.

The girl finally nodded, hugging Raleigh quickly “Thank you”, and ran back to the dressing room, hoping that Avery had actually gone there.

If she had thought something was off with Avery, now she was sure of it. Evelyn had noticed the girl, waiting on the wing, sometimes even singing along, but her body was tense. Instead of the usual wide smile, bright eyes Avery, she had seen a quieter girl. She could be tired. Or mad… no, there was no reason for her to be mad, right? They had been just fine before the show. Evelyn had taken care of the other girl’s make up, with Avery sat on the balcony, a small smile on her lips. She had memorized how her dress strap fell over that pale shoulder, and how her own body fit perfectly in between Avery’s thighs… “What if your fake girlfriend saw us right now, love?” the blonde had asked. Evelyn knew she was joking, “She’s not the jealous type, don’t worry”.

Evelyn reached the door, yanking it open to a small brownish room, blonde hair falling over the slumped shoulders of Avery, that jumped at the sudden noise and movement.

“Bloody Jesus!” she yelped, turning away from the balcony, but quickly turning back away from the door. Not fast enough, though. Evelyn had seen how reddish her mentor’s face was. “Wait outside, please. I’ll be back in a minute”.

“What happened, Avery?” getting closer to the girl, Evelyn tried reaching for her arm. Yet she moved gently away smiling at her.

 “Seriously, love, I’m totally fine, I just need to touch up my make up” it had been too much.

She didn’t care if it was fake or not, it hurt. But most of all she was hurt with herself. Avery wanted to be there for her friends, more than anything, and at that moment, she couldn’t do that. Her mind was a mess of jealousy and guilt.

“Your make up is just fine. Really, you can tell me what happened. I wanna help, Avery…”

The truth in those eyes, again… she could feel it, almost touch it. And it just stabbed the knife deeper into her chest, a sad smile forming on her face. This was her fear. What if the real love on those brown eyes was not meant for her, but for Raleigh… she deserved it, certainly… but… those were hers... Maybe she was being selfish, but for the first time she didn’t care about it. The next words came out more bitter than she had ever wanted them to be “Raleigh is waiting for you, Eve” she said in almost a whisper “The paparazzi are all out there, you should take the opportunity again” the girl tried to sound calm and collected but by the look on Evelyn’s face she knew she had miserably failed that task. But she just looked down, pretending to look for some kind of makeup, she really didn’t need.

At that, Evelyn walked towards her, getting herself between the balcony and Avery. How could she not have noticed…? The performance, the kiss, the date, the article…

“Avery Wilshere… Are you jealous?”

The blonde’s eyes widened. Was it that obvious that she was jealous? Was she making a fool out of herself?? Being jealous for a person that, again, wasn’t even hers? Her stomach dropped to the floor and the sadness she was feeling mixed with embarrassment and panic.

“W-What? No! Everything is… Perfectly fine. All cool, no problem, ça roule…” she tried chuckling the embarrassment away, and it worked… it was now replaced with the sadness she had been feeling throughout the day. Maybe the embarrassment was better.

She moved away from Evelyn, trying to keep her hands occupied by folding some clothes she had left on the small couch next to the door “What would I even be jealous about?”.

Evelyn saw the other girl’s chest rise up, breathing deeply as if trying to contain whatever she wanted to say next. That whatever never came. Instead, Avery went and sat down on that same couch.

“Anyway, go on, they’re probably already waiting for you, love”

Evelyn shook her head, getting closer to the blonde. Gently, she opened her legs and kneeled between her thighs looking up at her.

“It’s just the two of us here, Avery. Please, talk to me” her eyes never left the blue ones that couldn’t hide the pain behind them, however hard their owner tried. It was known, to everyone that knew Avery, how good she was at hiding her emotions. But today, something was way off. Those misty mirrors for the soul, today they were spotless and transparent, slipping out all the sadness behind them.

“You don’t have to pretend to be okay with me. Let’s talk this through and be sure I’m not moving until we do”.

“There’s nothing to talk about. I am moody and stressed out. That’s it” she said, shrugging and avoiding Evelyn’s eyes at all costs “Everyone has those days”.

“Indeed, but usually you talk about them with me, usually you are able to hide them from people, and usually you don’t push me away when you’re feeling bad”

“Well, USUALLY  I don’t feel jealous of people fake dating my best friend!” her voice was low but the firmest it had ever been. Avery got up, facing the wall, wanting all those feelings to go away, not wanting to show this part of her to the person she knew she was falling in love with. But now that she had started it… “Usually seeing two people kissing on stage, seeing them as a happy couple, straddling in public… it doesn’t bother me, whatsoever…”

She breathed deeply closing her eyes hard. She was way too close to crying and that was the last thing she wanted to do with people around her. With Evelyn there.

“Being in the studio alone… While I know you’re out there, with Raleigh, so close to each other. Seeing how she looks at you on those bloody articles and posts” she bit her lip unsure of how much she could say without breaking down, but unable to stop her feelings from spilling out “Seeing how unbothered you two look… Sometimes I end up thinking maybe you’d be actually better off together… Maybe this will make Evelyn fall for Raleigh. And then hearing Fiona talk about how good your relationship is for everyone… While I stay here, wishing it was me. Wishing I was the person by your side… Even it was fake… I’d take a dream over nothing”

Breathing in deep, she thought about stopping. She almost did. “And I know it’s selfish. It’s stupid. But you were the one lifting me up. Since I met you… In this short period of time… You have made me feel so many things, see how much better I can do, and be. So yes. Today was stressful. Today I wanted to be here for you, but it’s like I’ve been bottling these awful feelings up… And I couldn’t pretend anymore. I tried. So Evelyn, please, leave me alone for a bit… I just need some time, and I’ll be as good as new”

“What doesn’t start, doesn’t end, right?” Between them? There was nothing to end… There was nothing to be jealous of. She just needed time. Time alone to understand that. To accept that if something happened between Eve and Raleigh, she would have to support them. Smile and witness the girl that had stolen her heart be stolen by someone else, by her best friend. And she would have to go back to being the girl that feels and stays silent, smiling.  

“No” getting up, Evelyn crossed the room to Avery, holding her face in her hands, making the blonde face her “Baby, look at me. Nothing of that is real. Not one thing -”.

“Eve, I know that. I do” her voice was low, threatening to completely disappear, leaving her feelings hidden once again “But it also doesn’t matter… You’re not my girlfriend, you’re not mine. You don’t have to explain anything to me”

Saying that out loud made it even more real, making her eyes start to sting. She needed to keep going “Therefore, love, leave”.

At first there was silence. None of them dared to speak, Evelyn’s hands falling along her sides, while Avery didn’t move her stare from the ground. Only then, did Evelyn move. Slowly and against the blonde’s request, she got closer, the closest she could. Wrapped her arms around Avery’s waist, resting her head on the crook of her neck. She could feel the other girl tensing at first, her heartbeat getting faster, melding with her own. The way her chest moved against her own, the scent she had grown so used to. The scent she would miss at night, from the person she had once worshipped as an idol, and that now… had started to like… Love.

Hearing everything Avery had said made her feel so stupid… She had been paying close attention to this girl since the first moment she had seen her, and yet she hadn’t seen the signs, how she had been hurting Avery.

“Avery… Do you remember that night, in your spa…?”

The girl swallowed hard… How could she forget. She hadn’t slept that entire night. She had done all types of things (seriously) but sleeping was not one of them. Thinking about that moment now, and feeling Evelyn flush against her, her hot breathing on her neck… The right choice would be to pull away and insist on being left alone. Yet… If this was the last time, she would be able to feel her love like this… She would take it. 

“I do…”

With that, Evelyn lifted her head up, facing Avery, enjoying every feature, and wanting to see every expression to her question.

“What do you think that kiss meant to me…? Those kisses… Do you think I kissed you because I wanted to have fun? Only that?”

 “I-I…” she tried answering but her heart was hammering in her chest, heat rising to her cheeks.  The memories, the embarrassment of exposing her feelings like this, it was making everything hard to do, to say “I want to think… that it was… more than that…”.

“Then do, Avery! Because it was so much more than that!” Evelyn’s eyes were now all over Avery’s face, studying every piece of reaction, wanting to show her all the feelings she had inside of her without having to say them. “I am falling for you! And I am sorry if I didn’t show you that… I wasn’t sure you felt the same way… And… Your friendship… I couldn’t lose it”.

It was so hard to believe that the most beautiful, kind person she had ever met was now worried that she would fall for someone else. It was unbelievable that that fear was because of her. Out of all the people Avery could have chosen… she was the one.

Evelyn kept going as the blonde’s widened eyes focused only on her “With Raleigh it was all fake, for everyone else to see, for other people’s eyes. But when I am alone with you… These… moments are ours… They’re real. I want so many more of them. I don’t care what we do, what we don’t do, I just want to be by your side”

The air around them was tense but warm with the number of things still left to say, most of them unable to be expressed with words. Avery was speechless, trying to process everything she had just heard, trying to find the words to answer with. The girl didn’t even know what she was feeling anymore. It was a mess of things leaving her breath erratic, her heart swollen, her mouth hanging open.

“Evelyn… I-…” Guided back to the couch, Avery sat down, teary eyed but refusing to let those tears fall.

“Tell me you understand that. Tell me you understand, you’re the one I am falling in love with”

A small smile appeared on Avery’s flushed face, tears starting to escape her blue eyes “I do… yes… I don’t… think I have to tell you that-” she cleared her throat, gaining the courage to keep going “I am falling in love with you too…”.

“Oh but you do!” Evelyn smiled “You do… And Avery, that kiss just now… Raleigh didn’t even touch my lips. She kissed the corner of my mouth. These lips are yours…” she whispered.

If Evelyn kept this up, Avery wasn’t sure her heart would be able to handle it. Hiding her face with her hands, the girl let the tears fall, freely now, a mixture of relief, happiness and tiredness “I’m sorry. All of this must look ridiculous to you… All this jealousy… I’m sorry… I wanted to invade that stage myself at that moment… I felt so… lost” she chuckled trying to play it light.

But Evelyn didn’t take it that way. Grabbing Avery’s wrists, she pushed them away from her face.

And it happened too fast for Avery. Once she looked up, her crying face now exposed, she felt Evelyn’s lips crash against her own. At first, she gasped in surprise, but then allowed her own lips to part, letting Evelyn explore her. They could feel the salty taste of her tears between their soft lips. It had been so long since she had last tasted them, felt them, and oh god… If anything had been left unsaid, she was sure it would be understood right there. The way Evelyn’s lips molded against hers, how she stole little bites and nibbles on her bottom lip to the way she pressed their bodies closer. And how warm they were… It was too much for only her lips… Avery quickly wrapped her arms around Evelyn’s back, raw emotion in the way her fingers curled around the girl’s shirt. Her eyes half open, to sneak guilty peeks at Eve, every time they came back for air. She could feel the heat rising from her stomach to her chest and breathing became such a hard and irrelevant task…

Evelyn’s fingers dipped in that blonde hair, grabbing it gently by the roots, to then give it a firm tug, making Avery look at her.

“This is a real kiss” she whispered, “I hope you memorized my lips”.

Saying this Evelyn pushed Avery back against the couch, gently, smirking seeing that strap fall off the girl’s shoulder, exposing the skin she so much wanted to shower with kisses and untold words.

Her whole body was starting to tingle, and she had to take advantage of that moment to get her breathing back, which was not being easy while looking at Avery’s expression, her half-opened eyes, leaking the desire inside of her.

“Also, that article… and that picture of me straddling Raleigh…” she said, getting up in front of Avery “It was planned, as you know, right?” to now press her shoulders once more against the back of the couch, while she placed each leg on either side of Avery, straddling her. “Also fake… So I’ma show you what I do when I actually straddle someone…” she whispered.

Her hips didn’t take long until they started moving back and forth, grinding the thighs under her.

“Oh…” Avery whimpered slightly, hands on Evelyn’s hips, subconsciously pressing her down. The few sounds coming out of the dark-haired girl were reaching every point of her pale body, making it shiver lightly. Even with all those layers separating their skin, she could feel her own nipples hardening under her dress, making her grab Evelyn by the waist to press her closer.

“T-this, ohhh…” the friction was making it difficult for Evelyn to speak, lips pressed together, only falling open to whine “shit… is what I do when I really want to… straddle someone”.

That was it “Stop… Stay still!” Avery demanded, her voice low and slightly rougher than usual… Now it was her turn to show her what being with her meant. Evelyn had shown her part and she wouldn’t get all the fun alone. Now it was her turn.

Quickly she grabbed the end of the blue shirt covering Eve and, slowly, started lifting it up, making sure to let her fingers trail over that soft skin. Her lips, starting just above the jeans, left red marks over the girl’s stomach feeling the shivers rising up under them.

“Swear to me that you never did anything with her…” she murmured, stopping just under Evelyn’s chest, her lips mere inches apart from the warm skin, not looking up.

To that question Evelyn smiled, lowering herself just enough to whisper back in Avery’s ear “I never did…” she could stop there… but why would she? “And if I had, baby… you’d have been the one on my mind. As you have in so many of the nights I spent alone…”. 

Avery knew what the girl was trying to do, but the truth was, it was working. She could feel her words getting to her just between her thighs, on her chest, all over her skin. And at this point she didn’t even want to try to pretend it wasn’t. Pulling the rest of the shirt off Evelyn, the blonde kissed above her chest, leaving a wet trail of red marks up to her jaw… That was her girl, and everyone would know that from then on… Under her lips, she could feel Eve’s breathing getting faster “Baby, your lipstick… It’s all over me...”.

From her jaw, Avery traveled to Evelyn’s ear, kissing it softly. She let her breath touch it, tantalizingly, before whispering “And you won’t clean it, or next time I won’t use my lipstick to mark you, love”.

The gasp that escaped Eve’s mouth just made it harder for Avery to keep control of herself, while trailing her hands up the singer’s back, allowing her nails to lightly scratch the skin, she finally reached the back of the bra.

Evelyn couldn’t help but arch a little, the anticipation of Avery’s mouth on her, darkening her own eyes. Finally, the girl felt her bra unclasping, the straps falling off her shoulders revealing her hard nipples. These kept begging to be touched, as Avery’s eyes skipped from her back to her chest, her pale face turning deep red as her whole body got warmer and warmer.

“Did she ever see these, my love?” the blonde whispered starting to kiss the middle of her chest, as her hands burned the skin right under Evelyn’s breasts.

She wanted to answer, she really did, but the lack of contact was making the girl’s mind foggy, while her center throbbed way too much for her to think straight (🏳️‍🌈). Instead, forcing down the noises trapped in her throat, Eve shook her head, with a desperate frown on her face. At this point her whole body was fiery, aching to rub itself against those firm thighs, again. Swallowing hard, and forcing herself to gaze deep into the blue eyes in front of her, Evelyn bit her lip, gently held the back of Avery’s neck and whispered “Please, babe…”. It was more of a whimper than a whisper “I’m all yours”. The need to close the gap between them was screaming inside of her but before she could move, Avery’s hot mouth was on her chest, circling her nipple slowly, torturingly.

“Mmm…! Baby…”

Those noises… That was all she needed… yet, she couldn’t give it up to her that easily. Sucking hard on the nipple between her lips, Avery took her other hand to pay as much attention to Eve’s left breast. First, caressing it with her thumb, she could feel how hard her nipple was, how much it begged to be worshipped, how wet it was making her… Pressing her thighs together to try and ease some of the aching she was feeling, the girl squeezed the whole breast in her hand, never taking her mouth away from the other one, licking it, long licks, hot with smirks along with them.

“Love… tell me what you want” she whispered, her hot breath caressing the skin under it “Let me show what only I can give you”.

Those blue eyes finally looked up and the vision presented to them made Avery swear under her breath. With red hot skin, Evelyn’s mouth was slightly open, short breaths coming in and out, with her eyes barely open. Those eyes looked down “I-… need you... naked. Please.”

Avery smirked, guiding Evelyn down on the couch “Only that, my love?”.

Kneeling straight in front of Eve on the couch, she waited for an answer.

“One thing at a time, babe…” if she had asked for more, just the imagination of it happening could have made Eve short-circuit…

Quickly taking her white dress off, Avery started working on getting rid of Evelyn’s shorts, being met with the girl arching her back and quickly helping to get rid of the last pieces of clothing that separated the two.

The black-haired girl tried to get up but was gently pushed back down.

“What now?” Avery asked sweetly, her hands purposely trailing the insides of those olive-skin thighs. The lust she was feeling, dripping on her now naked tights wouldn’t be able to wait much longer.

“Your mouth…” Nothing else needed to be said. Neither of them wanted nor could wait any longer.

Avery whispered kisses down Evelyn’s body, painting it red until she reached the girl’s wet core. The idea of tasting it made her buck her hips and whine hard. So, she didn’t waste any more time. They had been way too tormented already.

Avery started circling her sweet nub, kissing it gently, before dipping her tongue between the folds moaning slightly. Holding Evelyn’s thighs in place she kept going.

“Wanna taste yourself, love?” she whispered quickening her pace, to then stick her tongue on Evelyn’s hot entrance. She could feel her trembling and shivering underneath her, refusing to keep her body still. That’s what she wanted… When words lacked, she would show Eve her feelings by making her cry in pleasure.

“Oh fuck!” The girl moaned, bucking her hips harder against Avery’s mouth. She could feel her legs weakening, her body so hot it could combust right there “No, don’t stop baby… don’t you… dare, mmmh… stophhh” she could have sworn she could see stars right at that moment.

That was an order to Avery’s ears, who kissed her girl’s core before licking and sucking her, faster, harder. While working on her, one hand traveled Eve’s body, from her hips to her breast. At this point they were sure that if someone passed by the door, they would perfectly hear the love coming from inside, but neither of them seemed to care. Yet, Avery could think of a way to lower the noise a little. Leaving Eve’s breast aching, licking one last time that pool of desire, the blonde hovered over her and smiling, she caressed her jaw. She could see her lover struggling to beg her to keep going, but before she could, Avery slid slowly two fingers on her mouth. Her fingers played with Eve’s tongue, who sucked them without even thinking. Sucked them wet, enjoying the view above her. From Avery’s pleasured expression to her chest… her wet tights. She moaned deeply, stopped from closing her legs by Avery who stood between them.

Satisfied, the pale girl went back to where she was needed, starting slow, almost teasingly.

“You taste… so good, love… So good” But then, pressing on her entrance first to hear Evelyn beg, she thrusted her two wet fingers inside. The girl immediately moaned, almost screamed her name, her leg resting on Avery’s shoulder, trying to press her impossibly closer.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck…”

Yes… she was almost there. The blonde could feel it and had to contain herself, the stars that wanted to shine and explode in front of her… It was amazing what pleasuring Evelyn could do to her… How overwhelmed it could leave her…

Curving her fingers inside her, thrusting and rubbing as hard as she could, feeling Eve so close and throbbing around her, bucking her hips, she grabbed the pillow next to her, positioning it in between her legs… She needed it… Just perfect, she started grinding, in rhythm with her fingers…

Evelyn… Her breathing couldn’t accompany her movements anymore. She refused to close her eyes. Seeing Avery in front of her… Riding the pillow, gasping and moaning… Oh God…

 Yes… That wave…

“AVER… MMMMMHH.. ”

It hit her so hard. A tidal wave, crushing against her, threatening to drown her in pleasure…

Her vision was blurred.

Her eyes so watery… yet they still forced themselves to stay open and enjoy the view… If she had the strength, she’d grab her by the waist… make her lay on top of her… yeah…

Breathing was now a totally unknown ability.

Her body, still trembling, shivering, trying to reach for her…

“I got you, love, I got you…” she heard, that soft honey voice mixed with a bunch of gasps…

Eve felt Avery’s thighs settling on either side of her own hips, sitting down, and when she felt how wet and hot she was… Her hand shot to her mouth, and she bit it… She could have died… she doubted her body could handle that.

Avery laid on top of her, kissing her neck, her shoulders, trying to calm her own breathing…

“I’m here…” Avery kept saying, her hands on Eve’s sides, caressing her skin “Rest a bit, and then let’s go… to the bathroom… We need to get you clean, love”

Quickly Evelyn shook her head and wrapped her arms around Avery pressing her down.

“Hell no… I need you to come for me too…” feeling the girl bucking her hips at her request she kept going… “Come on, princess, grind… against me… please… I know you want it…”.

“Are you sure…?” Avery whispered, knowing how tired Evelyn was. Not so much physically but also emotionally.

“Please…”

No hesitation… Still laying down, kissing every part of Evelyn’s skin, the girl started moving her hips, slowly at first but getting faster as she felt herself getting extremely close…

Evelyn’s hands were making it harder for her to control it… Gripping her ass, squeezing her breasts, burning, electrifying every place she touched…

“Evelyn… I’m feeling….” Rolling her eyes back it was getting hard to think… And then…

Evelyn’s fingers gripped her hair, pulling it back harder than last time…

“OH SHIT.. NHMM…”

Deep tremors of sensation hit her even harder, groans escaping her shut lips… Her hips creating circles, rubbing hard against Eve… Dizziness… Stars…

“Look at me while you come, please…” Evelyn whispered, bringing Avery’s head down to kiss her, bite her lip, suffocate her moans. Exploring her tongue, her hand caressing now where she had grabbed Avery, stroking her roots to alleviate the pain.

And there it was… Thrusting herself once again, she exploded, her eyes locked on Eve’s…

Her body was on fire, her core throbbing, every part of her burning like at the mouth of the volcano… her orgasm hitting every point of her body, making her toes curl. She knew from her throat she had screamed… But her mind was so fuzzy, she didn’t even remember it.

She just let herself go limp over Evelyn, who hugged her close. Bringing her lips to Avery’s shoulder and kissing it gently she whispered, “I think we proved both our points”.

Avery chuckled slightly, her head still laying on Eve’s shoulder, but didn’t answer right away…

Instead, they stayed quiet for a minute, Eve caressing the blonde hair. Both of them needed the time to regain some of their strength but there was also a question circling around Avery’s mind that kept enticing all of her senses just some seconds before

“So… falling in love with me…?” Avery asked, slowly, wanting to be sure that had not been an auditory hallucination.

What she couldn’t see was how red Evelyn’s cheeks got. She had thought it to be obvious, but saying it out loud, well it had to take some gut to do it, the heat of the moment…

“Was it not obvious?” she chuckled.

Avery sweetly hid her face in the crook of her lover’s neck, her hands shyly caressing her jaw “I’m sorry… for causing a scene over jealousy”.

 Evelyn chuckled lightly at the shyness in the other girl’s voice “Don’t worry… It was cute. You’re cute when jealous”.

Avery nudged Evelyn on her shoulder playfully, embarrassed at the comment.

Getting up carefully, Avery sat at the end of the couch and looked over at Evelyn who stayed in the same position, too tired to move, not wanting that moment to end, as much cliché as that was.

Avery could feel her heart full... Almost bursting, a smile on her face without even realizing. She had left Evelyn like that… tired, restless, full of pleasure… She had made it clear that she wanted Eve, that she was falling in love with her and only her… She had finally really understood she was not the only one falling in love...

“You’re beautiful…” she said, roaming Eve’s body with her big blue eyes, now bright with love. It was full of dark red marks… marks of her lips… Everywhere… Avery couldn’t stop a smirk from appearing on her lips.

Reluctantly she got up, reaching for her white dress, and tossing Evelyn her own clothing.

“Th-…”

With a bang the door opened

“Girls, what th-“

With wide eyes Raleigh took in the picture in front of her. Avery was now hiding herself with her white dress, her lips pressed tight and her face bright red, and Evelyn curled into a ball barely hiding herself as well.

Raleigh closed her eyes as tight as she could, turning around.

“This explains the posters… OK! Now that I’ve made things awkward I’ma leave! WE’RE DONE WAITING FOR YOU!”

Okay, so there are two different scenarios

If you go to the gala with Shane, you'll get the option for two 30-diamond scenes.

One with Avery (after they text you the invite for the celebration)

And one with Shane (which he offers after the movie's over)

If you go to the gala instead, the two diamond scenes are either with:

Raleigh, who subtly hints for you to go inside and meet them there

Or Avery, who again offers you to meet them at their rooftop

This, of course, really suits both scenarios. Shane would never offer an MC that basically "berayed" him to come over to his apartment and hang out. Raleigh's similar. They care for MC, but speaking to her outside the gala, or meeting up with her anywhere else, will cause a lot of unnecessary drama. They can only meet her there, and even then they need to sneak out.

And Avery? Amazing, sweet Avery? Avery is always sweet and kind. In the gala scenario they're right there to let you know about the nomination, face to face. To me the invitation felt more personal that way, and I loved it.

And if not? Avery is the type of person who sees utmost importance in MC and they show it. So yes, even if MC goes to Shane's film thing Avery will let her know about their nomination and text her their invite. That may not be as personal as the first scenario, but it shows even more how important MC is to Avery.

So again, I love this book, and I love how, no matter what you choose, Avery will be there for you. They are honestly the best. ❤
