summary: Catalina starts college in a small town all the way across the country. She doesn’t know anyone and isn’t exactly looking for friends. She just wants to focus on dance. But when she meets fellow dance major, Jimin, and adventurous, fellow freshman, Jungkook, Catalina ends up discovering a whole new side to the small college town; one that is dangerous but oh so enticing...

                 Catalina took one last glance around her room before heading downstairs. She heard Jimin’s voice, which put a wide smile on her face. Him and Taehyung were back on time, which meant they’d be able to come with everyone that afternoon.

               She ran down the stairs, taking them two at a time, before landing in the foyer. Taehyung and Jimin were taking their shoes off and setting their bags down, chatting with Hoseok and Namjoon. Catalina threw her arms around Jimin and asked him, “How was your trip?”

               He pulled away and smiled wide, his eyes disappearing. “It was incredible. I’ll tell you all about it later.”

               “I can’t wait,” Catalina said, smiling just as wide.

               “We were gonna go to the beach later,” said Hoseok. “Do you want to go with us?”

               “Sure! I think we’ll mostly just relax, though,” said Taehyung.

               “Here, I’ll help you unpack so you can get yourselves settled before we go,” Hoseok said, following them back out the car. Catalina left the foyer and went into the kitchen. The kitchen was beautiful, so different from when she first came into this house. They had it remodeled, actually, they had a lot of the house remodeled. Everything was a bit more modern, but their antiques were mostly still around. Even Yoongi redid his bedroom, saying he didn’t want to sleep in a rat’s nest anymore. He made an incredible amount of money on the antiques in that room, the museums practically begging him to part with them.

               The light was on in the kitchen when Catalina entered, which meant Jungkook was in there. Sure enough, he was standing in front of the fridge, staring into its contents with bleary eyes. His hair was a floof on top of his head and his pajamas were rumpled. Catalina came up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. She laid her head on his back and listened to the steady rhythm of his heart, something she’s become so very familiar with.

               “What will you have for breakfast?” she asked. He grunted in response, shifting some containers around on the shelf. He finally chose a container of leftovers and cracked the lid to sniff it. He sniffed it three times before deciding it was edible and dumping it on a plate. While it was heating up, he turned and opened his arms, letting Catalina settle into him.

               “Are you gonna surf today?” he asked.

               “You asked me that yesterday,” Catalina said with a giggle.

               “And you said no yesterday!” he said. She could feel his laughter in his chest where her head was resting.

               “Maybe,” she said. “I heard the teaching process is very hands on.”

               He chuckled and said, “Where did you hear that?”

               “Hm, I don’t remember,” she said. The microwave beeped and Jungkook let Catalina go so he could grab his food. She pulled a blood bag out of the fridge and sat down with him at the dining table, sipping at her drink while he ate.

               “What are you guys doing up so early?”

               Yoongi wandered into the kitchen with messy hair and tired eyes.

               “It’s beach day!” Jungkook said, much more awake now that he was eating. “You’re coming, right?”

               “No.”

               “Yoongi, you don’t have to swim or surf or anything,” said Catalina. “You can just sleep on the beach. Or drink wine on the beach. You need the fresh air, you’ve been at your piano for days. Plus, I think everyone would really like to spend some time with you.”

               “When are you going?” he asked.

               “We’re heading out around eleven,” said Catalina.

               “Oh. I’ll think about it,” Yoongi said. “Are Taehyung and Jimin back yet?”

               “Yes, they just walked in a little while ago,” said Catalina.

               “Good,” he said. “I’m glad their flight wasn’t delayed.”

               With that, he left the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

               During the drive to the beach, Catalina made sure to sit in the back of the Jeep with Jimin.

               “So, tell me about the trip,” she said, a giddy smile on her face.

               “Ah, it was perfect!” said Jimin. “I’ve never been to Arizona before so I didn’t really know what to expect about the weather or anything. It really is very dry there. The heat is like heat from an oven. And the places we saw were so beautiful. We camped in the Grand Canyon and… it was insane. The Grand Canyon is insane. Everything was so incredible. And at night, you could see the stars perfectly. When we camped in Death Valley, there was absolutely no light pollution for miles so the sky was amazing. We saw the Milky Way.”

               “Oh wow,” Catalina sighed.

               “You and Jungkook should go next summer,” said Jimin. “You’d love it.”

               “Yeah, I would do that,” said Catalina. “That sounds like a lot of fun. We need to make up for our last trip.”

               They sat in silence for a while before Jimin said, “I can’t believe we’re going to France in two weeks.”

               “I know!” said Catalina. “I can’t believe it! This is something I’ve been waiting for my entire life and I’ll finally be able to do it!”

               “Is your solo ready?” Jimin asked.

               “I mean, as ready as it’ll ever be,” said Catalina. “You know how it is.”

Her and Jimin had both taken the winter semester off to recover from their transformations and to get used to their new bodies. Catalina used that time to choreograph a solo worthy of an audition in France. By now, the beginning of summer, she had perfected it as much as she could.

“I’m going to the studio to practice it tomorrow,” said Catalina. “You should come with me. You can help, or just watch. You haven’t seen it finished yet.”

“What time? I’m babysitting tomorrow,” said Jimin.

“Oh right! You’re doing that every Tuesday now, aren’t you?” said Catalina.

Jimin nodded and said, “Yep, Caleb’s sister has dance on Tuesdays, so I’ll just be there for a few hours.”

“Are you still gonna do that when classes start? You’re signing up for classes in the fall, right?” she asked.

“Yeah, I don’t want to fall behind any more than I am,” said Jimin.

“Me too,” said Catalina. Then she smiled and grabbed Hoseok’s shoulder over the driver’s seat. “And you’re starting classes with us too, aren’t you?”

He laughed and said, “I sure am!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The weather was perfect, and according to Jungkook, the water was ideal for beginner’s surfing. They got set up on a relatively empty patch of the beach. The family closest to them had a few kids, who were building a sandcastle near the water. It was Monday, so thankfully there weren’t too many other people there. Yoongi laid out a beach blanket and immediately laid down, covering his face with his sun hat. He was almost completely covered, with long sleeves and long pants. Catalina figured he was trying to protect his pasty white skin.

               Jimmy K settled down beside Yoongi with a thick book. Catalina had assumed he would be surfing with them that day; he seemed like the type to surf. Jimin and Taehyung lathered themselves in sunscreen and took their spots near the cooler, relaxing and watching the fun just like they promised. After shedding her shorts and tank top to reveal her new white bikini, Catalina lathered herself in sunscreen, since she could already feel herself burning. Then she grabbed her board and met the others down by the water.

At some point, the family next to them left and they were left to themselves on their private stretch of beach.

Catalina, Namjoon, and Hoseok kept their eyes on Jungkook and Jin, who were teaching them the basics of how to surf. They all had boards, rented ones for the newbies, and Catalina was excited to get out on the water. With every glance at the ocean behind her, she felt nervousness twist in her stomach. She had to keep reminding herself that she wouldn’t drown and she wouldn’t get hurt. Her body was stronger than it used to be, which was something she still hadn’t completely gotten used to.

                They were standing on their boards, Jin showing them how to position their feet. Jungkook went to each of them, giving them pointers or fixing their positions. He stepped onto Catalina’s board behind her and nudged her right foot forward a bit, hands on her bare waist.

               “Just keep your knees bent and your legs spread a bit more,” he said. His bare chest was pressed up against her back.

               “…And if you guys fall off, just let the current roll you until it’s settled, then come up,” Jin was saying. “But you guys won’t drown anyway, so no harm.”

               “Right, no harm,” Jungkook said, his hand sliding down to her butt.

She giggled and turned around to face him.

“Did Hoseok get this treatment when you helped him?” she asked with a wide smile on her face.

“He would probably like that,” Jungkook said with a laugh. “But this is only reserved for my favorite students.”

“Ooh, so Namjoon got this too,” Catalina said, winding her arms over his bare shoulders. He threw his head back and laughed. This was her favorite song. The sounds of his laughter, the waves hitting the beach, The seagulls calling overhead, his heart beating in his chest.

Catalina leaned up to press her lips against his, the board wobbling in the sand beneath their feet.

She never wanted this song to end.

Series Masterlist / Main Masterlist

Chicago. The Windy City. The home of the bears, and where I have lived my whole life with my two older brothers Jay and Will Halstead. I’m there little sister Leah Halstead. I’m currently in my last coming weeks of junior year before summer vacation and I head face first into my senior year of high school. At this moment in time I’m living with my older brother Will in his house, and spend weekends round Jays apartment, since I have a room at each place. I stay with Will during the week since it’s closer to school, longer time to sleep.

 It’s an early Friday morning. I can hear a loud ringing by my head. I know its my alarm clock, its time to get up. With my eyes still close I blindly. After a few minutes my eyes start to open. The glare of sunshine starts to burst through the window and blinds me, I shut my eyes and rub them. Once my body has adjusted I remove my duvet from my body and slip on my slippers that sit by my bed, and starts to walk downstairs to the kitchen. The smell of waffles feel my nose. Will was making his famous blueberry waffles which I’ll admit everyone loved.

 “Morning Will” I say while thinking about the science test I have to take today during 3rd period. Will turns around with a plate full of food and places it down in front of me and does the same for himself. 

 “Morning kiddo, you ready for today” he asked while eating his own breakfast. I nod. 

 “Yeah, I’ve studied. I think I’m going to do ok.” 

 10 minutes pass and I’m now done with my breakfast and headed upstairs to get ready for the day. While I was doing my hair my phone goes off and it’s a text from Veronica. ‘Hey, we are all going to get ready at Shay’s tonight for her party. Meet me after school at the gate, bring everything you’ll need’

 I finished getting ready and get out the outfit I had already got together for the party. It was a simple red maxi dress and some black heels. I placed them in my bag and added my makeup bag as well for retouches. Jay and Will already said I could go, when Shay came up with the idea, we never normally would host the party’s but this time we were. Since I was driving myself to school today, I’d just leave everything in the boot of the car to keep everything safe.

 Once I was ready I collected everything I need for tonight and that I needed for school and made my way downstairs. Where I found Will in the front room getting his shoes on, getting ready to leave for work himself.

 “Hey Will, instead of come home after school and getting ready here, we’re just gonna go straight to Shay’s from school to save time. Oh, and don’t forget I’m staying over after so I’ll be home sometime tomorrow morning, early afternoon.” I tell Will  

 He got up from the couch and out his coat on. “Yeah ok, just text me or Jay so we know you are safe and sound please.” I smile and nod and say goodbye before heading out and going to school.

 On the way to school I stop by and pick up Veronica and Shay like normal, Shay was going on about how she was really excited about tonight since it was her first time throwing a party and she couldn’t wait. While Veronica was reading over her science notes so she could ace this test. Once we finally arrived at school we all head to our home room. I go inside and sit at the back of the classroom like normal. I’m scrolling through Instagram while the bell rings and Mrs Boden walk through the doors. She take all our attendance gave out important messages for the day before we all headed off for our first lesson of the day.

 Once the school day was over, we all gather up our things and head towards the school gates, I turn left towards the parking lot and wait for Shay and Veronica in my car since it was cold. Suddenly a loud bang came from the passenger side window, I jumped 10 ft in the air and looked and saw Shay and Veronica laughing there heads off, and getting inside.

 “OMG! Guys you’ve got to stop scaring my like that. I’m going to die from it one day.” I say while starting the car up and headed out the school parking lot.

 When we got to shays we all gather around in the kitchen eating the left over pizza Shay had from last night and talking about random things. When it got to around 5pm we all thought that we should start to get ready for the party tonight before setting up everything. We each took shower and redid our hair and makeup before getting dressed. Around 7pm Jeff, Dean, Spencer and Chloe arrive with the keg and some extra snacks. The boys tap the keg and place it in the backyard while the rest of us finish getting ready. I started putting chips into different bowls and ordered some different pizza’s for everyone to enjoy.

 The party was now in full swing, people dancing, drinking, talking just having fun. Relaxing. I’m currently sitting outside by the pool talking to Jeff and was on my 4th drink of the night. I’m starting to feel a little buzz from the alcohol that I’ve consumed in the past few hours, but was still alert to know what was going on around me. I was feeling happy. The cool breeze hits my body and goosebumps arose on my skin. I’m wearing a maxi dress in Chicago, of course it’s cold but I didn’t care, the alcohol was definitely taking affect. 

 Me and Jeff kept talking, laughing and just having fun like we always do. After about 30 minutes me and Jeff start to kiss, it wasn’t the first time either. Me and Jeff have had a sexual relationship for a year now but we aren’t dating. When things start to get a little heated we headed upstairs and found a vacant bedroom and locked the door behind us. Next things next we are both naked on the bed, what I didn’t know was that this decision would cause a huge bump in my life later down the road.

 I was awoken by daylight coming through the window. I was in Shay’s bedroom laying next to Veronica on the floor surrounded by pillows. While Shay and Chloe and Spencer where in the bed. I look up and see Spencer on he phone and Chloe watching TV on mute. I sit up and put on my hoodie to warm myself up a little, since the window had been left opened all night long. “Morning Y/N/N” Spencer said while getting up to use the bathroom.

 “Morning Spenc” I yawn as I head over to Shay’s vanity and brush all the knots out of my hair. Bit by bit all of us girls wake up and head downstairs to Shay’s kitchen to find something that we wanted for breakfast. Shay and Veronica decided to get McDonald’s for breakfast so why the rest of us where waiting for them to come back with breakfast we starting watching a movie in the front room and talking about the party last night.

 After breakfast we all got cleaned up, and watched a few more movies before all heading home. I dropped Veronica back at her house and continued until I reached mine. One I turned down my street and got closer to the house I notice that Jay’s car is parked out, he’s probably came over to have breakfast with Will before work. When I finally I entered the house it was 10am and I came home to the sound of the TV, and found Jay and Will eating waffles and watching the news. 

 “Hey guys” I say while taking my shoes off and hanging up my coat on the hook by the door.

 “Hey” they both say in unison. “How was the party? Hope you had fun.” Jay said while taking another bit of his waffle.

 “Yeah, I had fun. It was nice to just relax for once.” I say while taking a seat between will and Jay and taking part of Will’s waffle. He gave me a little looked, like he was annoyed but he couldn’t hold it and smiled.

 An hour later Jay left for work and me and Will stayed relaxing on the sofa watching the horror movie channel. At some point in the movie I feel asleep and woke up with a blanket covering me and no Will in sight and hearing the front door close.

 “Will?” I voiced loudly to see if her was still home. I heated footsteps coming closer Jay and Will both came in into the front room.

 “How long was I asleep?” I say while sitting up.

 “4 hours, you must have been really tired from last night? How much. Did you drink?” Will asked. I rubbed my eye and started to sit up. 

 “Errrmmm. I didn’t have a lot. 4 drinks altogether.” I say even though I know I had about 6 by the end of the night. I know it may not seem like a lot, but for me someone who doesn’t drink that often it was. He looked at me suspiciously and nodded.

 I placed my head on Jays lap and continued to watch the TV. After about an hour and Jay tells me it’s time to leave. Since it was Saturday I stay with him. I get up and pack some things I need and put on my coat and shoes, say goodbye to Will and head down to Jays car. 

 “Jay can we get Chinese for dinner?” I ask while trying to look as innocent as possible to try and get my way. He looked at me with raised eyebrows. 

 “Fine, only because I want an egg roll.” I giggled at his response.

 We got to Jays around 6pm with dinner in our hands. We go inside and eat and relax in the front room watching Netflix. I’m sitting on the other end of the couch to Jay, I can see him thinking things in his head. Everything since I was little Jay has always been the brother I go to when I want to talk about my feelings or when something was bothering me ever since I was little and Will was more the one who would help me out with my problems, so I could always tell when something was bothering Jay like he could with me. 

 “Jay, what you thinking about?” I said while looking at him.

 “It’s nothing sweetie, it’s just a case I’m working on. Nothing for you to worry about” he says. I move up the couch and cuddle into him. He stokes my hair and I start to get tired and end up falling asleep in his lap.

Simplicité - Chapter 4.5

Happy Simplicité Saturday! (Or Sunday, idk what time it is where you are) Sorry that I’ve been so off schedule lately, but I’m gonna try my best to stick to Saturdays (feel free to yell at me if I don’t). Yep, it’s another inbetweener. I felt like there needed to be more info about the aftermath of what happened at Bianca and Adore’s. I promise this chapter is worth it. Thanks to @veronicasanders for being a fucking genius and helping me out a ton with this chapter. ❤️ TW: Angst, eye fucking, cursing. No Bianca this chapter, I’ll be saving her antics for Chapter 5. Enjoy! Have a great weekend everyone!

When Courtney finally made her way down to the parking garage, she finally felt the gravity of what she had just done. She was crushed. She climbed into her Ford Explorer and slammed the door shut behind her, letting out a long anticipated wail. She had promised herself she wouldn’t cry until she got to her car, and she was happy in that moment that she had kept that promise to herself. But she still felt like she let herself down by running out of the apartment like that. The whole situation was painfully bittersweet, proud of herself on one hand yet disappointed on the other. Especially since the feelings weren’t mutual, and never had been.

She turned the keys in her car, turning on the radio for background noise before she pushed her seat back. Pulling her knees up to her chest, she rolled herself in a small blonde ball as she wept. She shook violently as she realized Bianca would never love her the way that she wanted her to.

It would never go past a platonic relationship.

She had thought she had come to terms with that after their one night stand, but it was like her heart was cracked back open all over again. She felt good letting herself fall apart for the first time since then, her tears pouring out of her rapidly as her chest heaved. It felt good to let herself feel something other than anger.

It was unlikely that Bianca would even mention this whole altercation at work, so it’s not like anything was really going to change between the two of them. What good did she really do by confronting Bianca?

She was always the one to love more, and that was her problem. She always fell so fast for people, and Bianca was no exception. They had been best friends for so long, and she had loved her.

The problem with Bianca was that no one made her happier than her. She always made her laugh whenever she was feeling upset, and always knew how to lighten the mood.

But at the same time no one could make her sadder. Bianca had so much power over her and how she felt. She didn’t even realize the power she held until it was too late. Until she was heartbroken, crying in her car in the fetal position.

I hate you, I love you by gnash and some girl she didn’t know was playing now, and it was as if they were singing directly about Courtney. As it blared softly in the background, she realized that she wasn’t doing herself any good crying in Bianca’s parking garage in the middle of Chicago. She listened to the song in silence, letting the lyrics sink in as she relived what just happened with Bianca.

She was starting to feel depressed. She hiccuped as she continued to cry, gasping for air as she squinted her eyes shut. She was an ugly crier, much like Kim Kardashian, and never let herself truly cry for fear of wrinkles.

Tonight, she made an exception as she let her face contort in ugly positions. This was about getting it all out. After tonight, she vowed to never let herself cry about Bianca Del Rio again.

Another 10-15 minutes went by, before she started feeling calm again. Not completely okay, but calm enough to start driving.

She didn’t want to go home though. Something in her was feeling rebellious for the first time in awhile. She peered at her gas gauge, noting she had a full tank. That was a sign.

Fuck Bianca and fuck Chicago. She was gonna get the fuck out of here. Being here was doing nothing for her.

Courtney sniffled one last time, before wiping her tears from her cheek as she sat up. She pulled her seat back up, buckling herself in as she turned up the radio. Praying by Kesha was on now, and Courtney turned it all the way up as she sang along to the lyrics.

She let herself cry as she sang the words. Courtney started her car, gripping onto the steering wheel and pulled the car out of the parking garage. She made a few turns and merged onto 55, not sure where she was going but not caring at this point. She was going to go as far away as she could from this stupid city.

As she screamed along to the chorus of Kesha’s song down 55 to 90, she felt a heavy weight lift off her shoulders as Chicago blurred past her.

If she was quick, she could make it to the bar by 11:30. She pressed down on the pedal, speeding down the tollway as she blasted 101.9.

Courtney sang and cried and felt everything she had been repressing for months, and passed the Welcome to Indiana sign. She sighed in relief, rolling down her windows and letting the humidity dance across her skin as she felt the freedom from her inner saboteur.

Earlier That Night

Adore smiled to herself as she closed her bedroom door. Farrah’s number was at her fingertips, thanks to Bianca. She let her hands dance across the screen nervously before she mustered up the courage and texted the number.

Adore: Hey, this is Adore. I hope it isn’t weird that I’m texting you!

Adore placed her phone back in her pocket as she grabbed her bluetooth stereo. She blared Lana Del Rey softly as she let herself plop on her bed for the first time since the morning. She sighed, relieved that she was finally in the comfort of her own room. Alone. She had been around people who literally judged her all day. It had been incredibly exhausting. Honestly, she would do anything for some weed right now - even though it probably wasn’t nearly as good as her California grass.

She laid her head against the pillow, happy to be able to just relax by herself. She closed her eyes, sighing as she let her mind wander aimlessly. Her phone softly vibrated against her a few minutes later, causing her to jump up a few feet in surprise.

Farrah: OMG not at all! Farrah: Is it totally weird that I was waiting for you to text me? Like, I could’ve asked for your number but it just slipped my mind.

Adore’s heart jumped at the thought of Farrah just waiting for a text from her. She could’ve asked Adore for anything she wanted and she would’ve given it to her. With the corners of her lips turned up, she began typing out a response:

Adore: You’re so blonde lmao Adore: Why DIDN’T you ask me for my number if you don’t mind me asking?

After she hit send, Adore bit her nails in anticipation. It was a risky text, a tad straightforward but she just wanted to get the theatrics over with. Adore was ditzy, but she wasn’t stupid. There was clearly something between them, whether Farrah wanted to acknowledge it or not.

Farrah: Because you’re hot ;) Farrah: Also I don’t know that much about you yet and if you’ll rat me out to B.

Adore felt her cheeks warm as she read the first text. Her smile quickly faded to a frown as she read the part about Bianca.

Adore: I’ve known B a few days, I’m no rat haha. Adore: Trust me, out of the two of us you’re the hot one. You’re fucking gorge.

Farrah: You never know. I thought Valentina was cool until she ratted me out to B for smoking weed. Good thing she doesn’t give a shit otherwise I wouldn’t have a job.

That was news. Good to know cranky wine drunk Bianca didn’t care about a little marijuana.

Adore: Who’s Valentina? Omg thank god someone else smokes. Farrah: Oh right, you haven’t met her yet. She’s Bianca’s cousin or something, idfk. She runs the front desk part time. Yesss! Do you wanna smoke with me tomorrow?

Adore felt a weight lift off her chest at the thought of smoking again. She didn’t care if it was midwestern weed, something was better than nothing. In California, she had been smoking every day since she was 17 years old. She hadn’t missed a day since she began, mostly because it helped her anxiety so much.

Adore: That’s not the only thing I want to do with you tomorrow ;)

God, she felt so cheesy typing that out and sending it. But, she wanted to make sure her attraction to her was seen loud and clear.

Farrah: I’m glad the feeling is mutual. ;) Farrah: I’ll see you tomorrow, I have to be at the salon suuuuuper early so I need my sleep!Let’s do something after work tomorrow. Adore: Goodnight!

Her heart was racing as she set her phone down on her bedside table. Adore had something resembling a date tomorrow with the lovely Farrah, and couldn’t be more excited.

She didn’t know how she was going to sleep tonight.

-----------

Courtney arrived in Indianapolis at around 11:30 that night, just in time for open mic night at the club. She fluffed her blonde hair in the mirror, redid her lips with her Kylie liquid lipstick - she honestly hated how much she loved her products. Wiping away the run down mascara and reapplying her foundation gave her the confidence boost she needed.

“I am a fucking force to be reckoned with.” Courtney told herself as she pursed her lips in the mirror, checking all angles of her face to make sure the makeup didn’t run anymore.

I’m fucking hot, I shouldn’t be crying over a girl who doesn’t like me, Courtney thought. She sprayed her Urban Decay setting spray across her face, before closing the mirror on her car window visor.

This was a little crazy, even for her. Who just decides to drive 4 hours to another city in the middle of the night? She snapped a picture of herself in the car for Snapchat, making sure the Indianapolis geotag was underneath her selfie as she published it to her story.

They could all eat her heart out.

Finally satisfied, (and high on adrenaline) Courtney stepped out of the car, and strutted down the busy street towards the club entrance. It was an hour later in Indie then it was in Chicago, so the 12:30 am clock confused her at first until she realized the time difference.

As she flashed her ID to the bouncer, she spotted a very attractive looking blonde a couple of feet ahead of her. Right on cue, the blonde made eye contact with her as she gave her a once over. Courtney bit her lip, flipping her blonde hair over her shoulder, as the other girl eyed her hungrily, thirsting for the attention.

The girl was beautiful, dressed in a sheer crop top and leather shorts. She had a long torso, and a sparkly belly button ring dangled against her navel as she laughed at something one of her friends nearby said. Her eyes made her way back to Courtney, clearly delighted with the sight as she scanned her body as well. Courtney’s heart fluttered, a warmth reappearing to her face as she let the girls eyes linger.

Finally, she got fed up with the eye fucking, and wanted to see more of this girl. ASAP. Courtney cleared her throat, and confidently strolled over to the blonde and her friends. For the first time in months, here she was not caring about commitments or relationships. Just wanting to have some fun in a city far away from all of that.

Sometimes it was good to be a little self indulgent.
