Ex-husband Negan Part 5

Warnings: An asshole named Negan and a woman who can't get over him.

Luckily, nothing serious happened to David, except maybe the scare of his life. Negan really pulled himself together. Maybe he has finally become sensible. I had actually given up hope.

When my daughters miraculously went to school on time and Negan left the house with them, I took a deep breath.

What had happened in the last few hours?

I really feel that as soon as my ex-husband is near me for longer than five minutes, he throws my whole life into absolute chaos.

Inevitably, I had to think about the last night and my pulse immediately accelerated. It was just madness. This man still knows my body better than I do. No one can touch me the way he does. Instantly, I felt that tingling in my stomach again. That damn feeling that has often led me into misery.

19 years ago

Even though I had left my old home eight years ago to build my own life in New York, I kept in touch with my best friend Harper. Harper and I spent our entire school years together, and our connection never broke despite the distance. We used to be a trio, but Scarlet unfortunately became one of the main reasons why I had moved away so hastily.

God, I was so stupid back then not to recognize the signs and always make excuses for Negan and her. But sometimes you are so blinded that you only realize it when you see it with your own eyes.

The fact that Harper has been dating Negan's best friend Simon for a few years was, admittedly, really strange for me at first. After all, I tried with all my might to erase Negan from my life, but by now we had been separated for ages and the anger had subsided over the years. The anger, yes, but unfortunately not all the other feelings I felt towards him. If I was honest with myself, I immediately compared every new man in my life to him. Even though I didn't want to, I thought so often about our time together. Everything reminded me of him, even though I lived in a completely different city, but you can't run away from feelings.

Whenever Harper happened to mention something about Simon and Negan during our hours-long phone calls, I immediately became quiet and absorbed every piece of information. Of course, I never asked directly, my pride was too great for that, but it seemed that this guy would remain my weakness forever.

This is also how it came about that Harper invited me to her birthday. I was very excited for the house party at her place and took a few days off to fly to my old city.

After we were both incredibly excited on the phone that I would be able to follow her invitation, Harper suddenly became quite serious at the other end.

"Negan will be there too..." she said calmly.

Immediately I was speechless. Why would he show up there? After all, it's my best friend's birthday, not Simon's. I cleared my throat briefly, but then I absolutely did not want to spoil their, or my, mood.

"Yes, of course... it's totally okay! I'm looking forward to seeing him again after so long... Oh man, we were teenagers and now you're already 28, you old hag..." I joked, even though I didn't feel like joking at all, thinking about my ex-boyfriend who had broken my heart in such a brutal way.

"Yes, yes ..first get to my age! At 27, you still talk so easily." Harper countered.

Until the day of the party, I managed to push the thought of seeing Negan again out of my mind. However, when I rang her doorbell, the nervousness crept up on me. Is he already there? How will he react to me? And how will I react to him? Does he still think about me sometimes? Does he even miss me occasionally?

When Harper greeted me with the words that I was the first guest, a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Of course, postponed is not canceled, but in that moment I felt a strange relief.

We embraced joyfully and I congratulated her from the bottom of my heart. Then I handed her a bottle of her favorite Prosecco and a self-made voucher for a weekend in New York. She had wanted to visit me so many times, but the plans always failed and in the end, I was always the one who visited.

The greeting with Simon was a strange mix of a handshake and a hug, so I was glad when Harper asked me if I could help her in the kitchen.

It was my first visit to the two of them since they had moved into a shared apartment. The whole thing was really strange for me, everything seemed so adult, almost bourgeois. Not at all like I knew her. Okay, we had grown up, but somehow time seemed to have stood still for me. Since I went to New York at the age of 19, not much had changed in my lifestyle. Except that I had a steady job and earned my own money.

Harper's kitchen was full of modern appliances, while at home, I was happy if I could find a sharp knife.

But before we started preparing the rest of the food, Harper opened us two beers and within seconds, everything was just like old times. We joked and laughed about the most trivial things, and soon the first guests arrived. The doorbell kept ringing, and then Simon opened the door to let the next ones in. People would then show up in the kitchen after a few seconds, congratulating my friend on her birthday. Some of them I knew from before, while others were new acquaintances, mainly her coworkers. Mentally, I tried to match the names to the stories that Harper had told me during one of our phone conversations.

Superficially, I played it cool, but inside, I was boiling. A thousand times, I played in my mind how I would react if Negan walked in through the door. I kept envisioning that one scene that made me startle every time the doorbell rang.

I opened another beer and then helped Harper set up the buffet. The salads were piling up, she had prepared so much. Everything was planned down to the smallest detail. The color scheme of the decor matched, and the dishes were all from the same brand.

With my arms crossed on my hips, I admired everything. "Wow, I have to say, you've really become the perfect housewife, while I..."

"While you still have the hottest ass in all of America... Damn, just look at her. God bless America!" a very familiar voice interrupted me.

Amidst all the commotion around us, I hadn't even noticed that Negan had entered the kitchen. Being surprised by his presence made it even harder. I took a deep breath and then turned with a smile on my face to face him.

He was already so close to me that there was barely any space between us, and his face put on that typical grin. I hadn't seen him in so long, but his green-brown eyes looked familiar to me. Without hesitation, he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me in for a kiss on my cheek.

I literally inhaled his scent, a mixture of rugged aftershave, cigarette smoke, and his own unique scent. Instead of letting go immediately, he held me much longer than necessary, and I was frozen in his arms.

"It feels unbelievably great to finally feel you so close again..." he whispered in my ear, and I immediately got goosebumps all over my body.

None of the prepared lines came out of my mouth.

He hadn't forgotten how to charm me, if anything, he seemed to have perfected it.

I stared at him wordlessly until he suddenly leaned in even more. Bewildered, I evaded him, and he grabbed one of the beer bottles that were right behind me.

Amused by my reaction, he winked at me and clinked his bottle against mine. Then he disappeared into the living room. Suddenly, a former classmate approached me and hugged me to greet me. She immediately started talking a mile a minute, but I couldn't follow her words as I kept thinking about the recent situation with Negan.

Some time passed before we all decided to move to the living room. Negan and Simon were standing by the window, smoking a cigarette. I tried my best not to stare at him constantly, but I caught myself doing it repeatedly.

Harper introduced me to Daniel, one of her coworkers. The three of us sat down with a few others at the living room table. The conversation was already in full swing, so it was easy for me to just join in.

I was in the middle of telling the others about the most unique restaurants in New York when I suddenly felt someone sit next to me on the couch. Without looking, I could tell it was Negan. Immediately, my heart rate increased, but I tried not to show it and continued talking.

Negan started a conversation with Daniel, who was still sitting next to me, so I leaned further forward so they could talk better. Negan leaned even closer behind my back to his conversation partner, and suddenly, I felt his hand on my hip. A bolt of electricity shot through my body, but I tried not to show it. As if that wasn't enough, my t-shirt had ridden up slightly in this position, and Negan began gently stroking the bare skin of my back with his thumb. God, how I had missed this feeling. I pushed all doubts aside and just focused on his tender touch and what it was doing to me.

It was only when I heard my name that I was snapped out of my trance.

"What?" I asked, startled, looking at Negan, who straight ened and then smiled knowingly at me.

"The beer at Dawson's is a disaster..." he laughed.

I leaned back against the couch and then looked at Daniel.

"Oh yes, terrible... gave me the hangover of my life," I tried to somehow join the conversation.

"That was probably more about the quantity than the quality..." Negan noted amusedly and reached for my thigh. His hand stayed there for the next while, until I loudly declared that I needed to visit the restroom and disappeared there.

Upon reaching the bathroom, I straightened up in front of the mirror and looked at my reflection questioningly. Where was all of this leading? I didn't have an answer.

As soon as I opened the door to go back, Negan was standing right in front of me. Lost in my thoughts, I bumped into him.

"Hey... not so hasty! Is it already midnight, or why are you in such a hurry, Cinderella?" he said, holding my upper arms.

"Would you search for me if I lost my shoe?" I asked, looking at him inquisitively.

"I may not be a damn prince, but fuck, honey. I would turn the whole world upside down to find you..." he replied.

I'm not sure if I was the one who took a step back, or if he led me back to the bathroom, but suddenly we were there. Negan closed the door behind him and locked it, not taking his eyes off me.

"And what would you do when you find me?" I asked innocently, nervously biting my lower lip.

Negan pulled me towards him abruptly and kissed me just as passionately.

"Exactly this..." he whispered into my open mouth before our tongues touched. In that kiss lay all the desire and the incredible longing that had been dormant in me for the past years. I clutched onto the hair at the back of his head as if I never wanted to let go.

Slowly, my mouth traveled along his jaw, his beard pleasantly scratching my lips, and when I touched his neck, I felt his Adam's apple slightly vibrate.

"I was such a damn idiot..." he now whispered softly.

"Oh yes, you were... I think now would be the right time to make things right..." I said, as I was already undoing the belt of his pants.

Negan grinned at me, "If we stay in here any longer, everyone outside will know what we've been up to in here."

"Very good..." I said with a smile and was about to kneel down, but he stopped me.

"Stop, we don't have time for that now..." as he said that, he turned me around so that my back was to him, then crossed his arms in front of me and pulled me close to him. The feeling of his strong body made me even more unrestrained.

"Baby, believe me, I'll do anything you want, but first, I just need to feel your sweet pussy around my cock... I've missed you so incredibly much..." he growled in a deep voice directly into my ear and pushed me towards the washing machine, until I eventually leaned against it.

The lower arm of his left arm landed on my back and gently pushed my upper body down. While holding me in this position, with his right hand, he pulled down my jeans and underwear, and I excitedly helped him until they were hanging around my knees, presenting Negan with my naked behind. His hand traveled up the sensitive skin of my inner thigh, and I spread my legs as much as I could. Then his flat hand landed directly on my center. Gently, he ran his fingers through my folds, and just the feeling made me moan.

"Please, I need your cock..." I pleaded.

With the hand that had just touched my most intimate area, he gave me a light spank on the behind.

"And let no one say dreams don't come true..." Negan exclaimed enthusiastically.

Aita?

Boss won't fire me, but is actively trying to kill me more than the speed force is.

Me, the Flash (29yo m) have been not only forced by my boss, Buttman(old as dirt, m) to keep the job my uncle had but to also expect me to not slack in my other jobs outside of this one.

I've lost so much in this unfortunate, and down right inhumane treatment because I'm a speedster and "balance needs to be kept, the justice league needs a speedster, Flash. It's basics universe lore that was given to you as a child." Like, I know jackass, you made me memorize it if I wanted to go on young justice league missions, a school inside of child labor this man was a monster then as he is now.

He won't take the time to learn I'm not like my uncle before me, he treats me like I'm a child because me and Cy, (28, m) are the youngest in the league right now!

I have loss my time dealing with this bullshit, my job before I moved in with my hubby I had to moved to my boss terf because it's cheaper (I wonder why.), my patience for putting up this clearly unhealthy and unjust treatment towards me (dating your boss son is technically a bad business practices, BUT I WASN'T WORKING FOR HIM TO BEGIN WITH, I was dating my old boss, duh, an even horrible practice but I like my men in power what can I say.), and my temper for dealing with a horrible and stubborn man, broadman I know you're reading this, this is why you have a hard time connecting with your kids, if i was your kid I'd runaway too with my handsome best friend.

Anyways, today he had a mission that was stupid. His plans got me almost killed and when I brought it up to him, he had the nerve to say to me "well if you stopped talking on your phone during the debrief, you would have survived it better." First of all, I listen and follow his plan to the T, all my i's were dotted and my t's were crossed, his plan just sucked and I know knew it did because he told auntie Wonder Woman about it and agreed it sucked, and also I WAS TEXTING YOUR SON MY HUBBY THAT I WAS GONNA BE LATE FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY YOU TRIED TO KILL ME ON! So I let him have it. I told him this: "I don't understand this beef we have, it's been years and you were there for our wedding happy to see him happy, so why do you hate me? It's not for any reason I hate you for. You fired your son took HIS Mantle away, fight him over a little thing what wasn't a big deal at the time to him getting angry you replaced him with another kid entirely because you suck at communicating he assumes he failed you somewhere down the line after years of undermining him, you and fans from that comic issue got side kid killed, that started ANOTHER riff because you didn't tell him and when he found out he tried to kill the joker which you stopped and saved the man who murdered your, at the time, youngest child while all you did was mope around and felt sorry for yourself, add another year of shit before now finally fixing your relationship with him and all you got on me is being there for your son and not being the most nicest to you. Grow up."

A few of our teammates told me I was an asshole for saying that to him, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow gave me a pat on the back and some lunch, and when I told this to my husband after finally getting back barely to make up for a crappy anniversary that I probably shouldn't have gotten onto him like that, but I don't see it.

So, reddit, with an unbiased option (I have seen the merch and ao3 tags, I know how much you freaks love this man. Or Superman, which sir, he dated your wife to get back at you years ago the fuck you took up for him for? Get a back bone.) am I the asshole?

Edit: I just think bastardman is homophobic.

Batman's edit: I'm not homophobic, my son could have done better than you is all.

Edit, edit: this is why Selina leaves you at the alter.

Batman's edit edit: this is why your parents beat you.

Edit edit edit: I'd tell you to suck my dick, but I don't want to fuel the freaks of ao3 to write us more, would rather have Kyle kiss me before this.

Batman 4x edit: come to the e meeting room. Now.

Edit 4x: fuck off old man, you can't tell me what to do.

Oracle: children, in my office, now.

Batman: yes ma'am...

Wally: yes ma'am...

BONUS POLL 3

Anti propaganda warning under the cut

V anti propaganda:

"- This man is so undatable, he's barely present in his own route or after end.

- The martyr complex this dude has is legitimately arrogant, taking blame for something you don't have control over isn't noble, it's just self-sabotaging. Taking blame for shit you do have control over and CHOOSING to change nothing makes the apology worthless. 🙃

-How does a man this rich have the balls to be so dumb? Bro, your bestie is also rich af and was gifted a fuckin island as a kid, why didn't you take the abused little ginger boys there for safety instead of shuffling one into a shady agency and the other to your increasingly unhinged gf who is waist-deep in setting up her cult?? Jumin would have had his back and V didn't even give him the chance to prove it!!

- This man chose to pursue a relationship with a woman who is mentally unstable and let himself become her whole world bc he felt guilty for treating his own disabled mother poorly. When you boil it down, this man chose a woman as a project and proposed to her within months instead of getting therapy for himself. 🫠

- V also lied to his and said gf's friends and family, telling them she committed suicide instead of turning her into the police for starting a cult, leading to the severe depression of her younger cousin and allowing her to continue drugging and brainwashing one of the twins he smuggled along with possibly hundreds of other people.

- When confronted over this, he still resists turning Rika into the police. For contrast, the younger cousin who idolized her immediately restrained her, stopped her from slipping party guests drugged wine and got the police on her. He is a 28 year old man and left the task to her 21 year old cousin who has had the emotional whiplash of finding out that not only was he right about V lying, but Rika is alive, AND she is very mentally unwell and has committed some major crimes.

- V is also mentally unstable af. In other routes, not just bad ends, he also returns to HELP HIS GF DO CULT SHIT.

- This is just subjective, but this wet mop of a man is also boring as shit which is why Cheritz kept him mostly vague and stuck to the background. If you want the fucked up relationship dynamics, just get one of the bad ends with Rika tbh, she at least serves lewks with her brand of crazy cunt.

- in short, you will never be in an equal partnership with this man and he won't be held accountable. The one time he tried, he said some pretty obviously triggering things to the crazy gf and got stabbed. He did not have the foresight to come with backup, announce where he would be, etc. He lived only because the gf that stabbed him calls you to come help him while she's still spiraling out of control.

I say this with full respect to the V fans, who are well aware that this man is an absolute mess and needs so much therapy before he's anywhere in the realm of salvaging his friendships, much less being dateable."

Baxter anti propaganda:

"baxter ward has a summer fling with you, which is fine because you agree to date only for the summer. however, when the time comes to break up, he does so in like the most brutal fashion possible. there was no need to be that much of a dick about it. he then proceeds to ghost you for five years.

five years later, when you meet once again, he opts to ignore you at best and continue being a dick at worst for the first half of step 4. there's no reason anyone should desire to get back together with the man. he needs therapy, not a partner."

oh i have a question too since you've dated older men! what are your thoughts on age gaps? i mean like 7 to 10 years. the good, the bad...?

My irl boyfriend who I’ve been with for awhile is 7/8 years older than me! I think 10 years or less is like fine and might not be a problem depending on your age. Like if you were 18 dating a 28 year old that might be a little weird tbh, but I was mid-twenties and he was early 30s when we started seeing each other so I felt like it wasn’t weird esp bc we met at work. It also was hot to me because he was a little more advanced in his career and helped me out with a lot of financial stuff at the beginning of the relationship. He also didn’t like nickel and dime me every time we went out to dinner since he made more money than I did. I felt like he was very nurturing and sweet and did a good job taking care of me. I’ve always found in general I’ve gotten on better with older men compared to guys my age because they tend to be more mature, HOWEVER-

I’ve also dated guys a lot older than him and when you get to 10+ years is when I feel like you have to be careful. In my mid twenties I dated a guy in his 40s and a guy in his late 30s. and I found with the guy in his 40s that while he was nice and we had a lot of fun - he was ultimately very immature, which was why he was still single at his age. Nothing wrong with that but I just didn’t see him actually being able to be a reliable partner long term. And same with the guy in his late 30s. Like he was very kind and sweet and seemed very serious about planning for his future but had this ex girlfriend who was awful to him that he kept going back too which I felt like was kinda a red flag that he couldn’t end that relationship for good even though it was clearly toxic. I’m still friends with both of them now so they weren’t bad people just sort of unserious lol.

I think it’s all fun and games on here to fantasize about older men for fics and such, but I do think that in real life, when an older man (I’m talking 10+ years) is interested in you as a younger woman, there’s usually a REASON why he can’t pull women his age, or he’s a creep and will probably just find someone younger once you get too old. As I’ve gotten older I’ve gotten a lot better at seeing through bullshit and asking for what I want out of my partners, and I think that sometimes older men go for younger women because they think they will find someone who won’t call out their bad behaviors or will accept being not treated as well without leaving. I could talk about this subject for DAYS so I will stop now lol. I don’t think this is ALWAYS true, I’m sure there’s always exceptions to the rule, but I feel like you just have to be careful if you are dating a guy 10+ older than you.

Goodbye Grey Sky, Hello Blue - 28

Summary: In an alternate universe where trains and zeppelins are still common forms of travel and the internet and cell phones exist, nineteen year old Peter Parker has few options left after he’s swindled out of his inheritance. Unable to pay for college, let alone keep the house left to him by his deceased aunt, he’s running out of time before he’s out on the streets. Desperate, Peter signs his life over to the Bureau of Civic Spousal Selections to take his chances as the selected husband of a complete stranger. After all, he only has to make it through a year and then he can choose to annul.

Dr. Stephen Strange has little interest in marriage, preferring to focus on his career. When his career is threatened by what a nosy board of directors considers a “lack of personal fulfillment and settling down,” he opts to select a spouse through the BCSS and chooses Peter Parker. The young man’s profile he’d briefly skimmed suggests intelligence and compatibility. It’s not ideal, but if after a year it’s not working out, he can always annul the marriage and send Peter on his way.

It’s a marriage neither truly wants, with sharp learning curves for both. It’s either going to be forever or it’s going to go down in flames.

Chapter 28

_______

The dinner party he dreaded most finally arrived.

He and Peter were cordially invited to dinner at the home of Dr. Reed Richards and his wife Dr. Susan Storm. As the man had been coy about who the other guests would be, Stephen could only brace himself for sharing a table with Dr. Peggy Carter and probably Ms. Rambeau.

They probably wouldn't be able to leave early for dietary reasons, either, since Sue Storm had mentioned on the invitation that she would be cooking a kosher meal. He could only hope that his mobile went off and he'd have to go to the hospital. He could pull the Selecting Spouse card and insist Peter leave with him.

"It'll be okay," Peter said. "It's just a few hours for one night. Then we're done."

"Peter-" he stopped.

"What?" Peter asked as he tied his bow tie.

"If I am less than pleasant this evening, I want you to know that it isn't because of you. I am going to do my best to be polite and civil, but if I am not, I apologize."

"This is really hard for you," Peter said.

"Yes." He motioned helplessly. "I don't want to talk about it; not tonight."

"We don't have to talk about it at all," Peter said. "You're entitled to your privacy, even if legally speaking I'm not."

"No, I think... You deserve to know. Just... just not tonight."

Unlike everyone else Peter had met since moving to Sanctum Heights, Dr. Richards and his family lived in what could only be described as a penthouse. They were on the top floor of the tallest building in the town. He'd seen the Baxter Building, of course, but never gave much thought to the fact that it was first and foremost a living facility. There were seven floors of housing and the first three floors were dedicated to a learning center and daycare for children. Earlier that day when they'd met for their usual tea, cookies, and Winding Road Whispers date, Ava had told him that Dr. Sue Storm both founded and ran the Baxter Foundation's learning center.

"She's an impressive woman," Ava had said. "Absolutely remarkable and very kind."

"I just know that Stephen doesn't like her husband."

"It's complicated," Ava had finally said. "And it's not for me to explain."

Other than that, Ava had given him a run-down on the family and, reluctantly, Dr. Margaret Carter, who Stephen was positive would be there.

"Just breathe," Peter urged Stephen as the lift attendant took them to the top floor.

Whatever he'd been expecting, the Richards-Storm penthouse was not it.

It was light and open with one of the salmon-pink walls dedicated to showcasing a multitude of children's drawings. The teal carpeting was low-piled and in some cases, well-worn from what Peter knew from his time at his Shul's daycare were tracks from tricycles and toy trucks.

The living area featured charcoal grey sofas and armchairs, the backs of all draped with a thick quilt or knitted throw. The corner closest to the living area had a table set up for blocks, coloring, and others activities a curious child might like. Several toys were still on the floor, mere feet away from the trio of toy bins next to the table.

On the opposite side there was a dining area with a table set for six, and further back, Peter could see the kitchen which was open to the rest of the space.

"Welcome!" Sue greeted, striding towards Peter and Stephen with her arms outreached. "I'm so happy to have the two of you here in our home!"

She was a beautiful woman, Peter thought. Her blue eyes were gentle and kind and her blonde hair was styled into an elegant knot at the nape of her neck.

"Thank you for having us," Peter said. It seemed Stephen wasn't quite ready for words just yet.

"You're the first to arrive, even before Richard," Sue told them. "He got pulled into a consultation at work. I'm glad, however, as I'd like to have you look at the kitchen, Peter."

He nodded, surprised. "Okay."

"I hope I haven't made a mess of it, but if I have, please tell me, so I don't make the mistake again."

Much like he'd once done for Ben Grimm and his wife Alicia, Sue showed him how she'd gone about preparing the meal, complete with the kosher certifications on food packaging and pictures of the vegetables she'd selected before she'd prepared them. She even had a receipt from Fleishman's.

"And nothing that's dairy or used for dairy has touched the steak?" Peter asked.

"Nope! And there's no dairy in the meal, either," she assured him. "If anyone wants butter for their bread, I have individually wrapped packets and margarine for you."

Peter grinned, pleased. "Toda al hahavana. Thank you."

"You're so very welcome," Sue said. She looked both happy and relieved. "I've gained a lot of respect for the rules you and Dr. Grimm follow now that I've learned more." She looked back at where Stephen stood. "Would you like a cocktail, Dr. Strange?"

He seemed to shake himself out of some trance. "An old fashioned?"

"Coming right up!"

"And please, call me Stephen," he said.

"Peter? Cocktail?"

"Oh! Oh, no thank you. I'm nineteen," he said.

"Ah. A Shirley Temple, then," Sue said with wink.

"But I-"

"It's a lemon-lime soda spritz with grenadine and a cherry," Stephen said with the closest thing to a smile he'd worn since the invitation had arrived. "There's no alcohol and I think you'll enjoy it."

"Great!"

"Reed was evasive when I asked who else would be joining us," Stephen said to Sue when she brought both he and Peter their drinks. "Am I correct in assuming he's invited her?"

Sue sighed. "I told him to just tell you! Yes, Dr. Carter will be attending, along with my younger brother, Johnny. Reed wanted to ask one of the others as well but I said if he tried to pull something like that I'd find myself mysteriously unavailable to host." She arched a brow at Stephen. "You medical doctors are too stubborn for your own good."

He couldn't exactly argue that point.

"So, Peter, how are you liking Sanctum Heights?"

"I like it here," Peter said. "It's a lot quieter than Midtown, and using a car service took some getting used to, but I like it." Peter, knowing his role, picked up the conversation. "Will you tell me about the Baxter Foundation?"

Judging by Sue's megawatt smile, it had been exactly the right question to ask.

Sue launched into a detailed but engaging explanation of the foundation and its purpose. Peter was fascinated to learn about the educational classes for adults along with programs for those at risk or with special needs in addition to accelerated academic programs.

"And some of the people enrolled in the program live in this building?"

"They do! It helps encourage the building of life skills and community."

"And what classes do you teach?"

"She teaches how to be a wet rag," came a new voice.

Sue sighed and rolled her eyes as the newcomer joined them. "Johnny, these are my guests, Dr. Stephen Strange and his husband Peter. Stephen, Peter, this is my younger brother Johnny Storm."

Sue's brother was tall, blonde, and very handsome. He was maybe only three or four years older than Peter himself.

"Ah, the BCSS couple of the year, to hear others talk of it," Johnny said with an easy smile. "You're pretty young for a selected spouse."

Peter wasn't sure what to say to that so he just sipped more of his Shirley Temple.

"You had a paper in the Van Dyne School of Science Journal around a year ago," Johnny continued, plopping down next to Sue and making himself at home. "I'd have thought someone who was gifted enough to be selected to write for them would be busy with college, not married." He cocked his head and eyed Peter up and down. "Nothing?"

"Was there a question in there?" Peter asked.

Johnny laughed. "Not bad. I think you'll manage dealing with dear old Reed well-enough." He turned his gaze to Sue. "And you thought I'd be the last arrival!"

"How's school?" Stephen asked after Johnny had made himself a drink and brought over another Shirley Temple. "You're attending Metro University, are you not?"

"I am. I'm studying engineering," he said. "It passes the time."

He didn't even feel a pang of envy at Johnny's easy and casual dismissal of something so important as higher education, which surprised him. This time last year college had been his goal but now? Now he didn't know if he'd be able to tolerate it.

The four of them made small talk as Sue put some finishing touches on dinner. Peter's offer to assist were waved away. "You're a guest in my home; absolutely not!"

Johnny wasn't pleasant company, exactly, but he wasn't intolerable. Peter had his suspicions for why the man behaved the way he did but seeing if he was right would have to wait until their host arrived, presumably with the other guest. Peter could deal with it for a few more hours and then he'd be a good little selected spouse and maybe suck on Stephen's cock when they arrived home.

Sue had just encouraged them to all sit down and start dinner when Dr. Richards and Dr. Carter finally arrived.

Stephen quickly went through the proper introductions and Peter could tell how much strain he was under, even if the others couldn't. Deciding he'd be a model guest, he shook hands with Richards ("Call me Reed, please.") and nodded politely at Dr. Carter.

"It's so lovely to meet you, Mr. Strange," she said with a smile. "I was so happy to hear that Stephen found someone."

He was surprised at her accent; he hadn't realized she was English. He assumed she'd be from East Virginia, like Sharon. There was an air of self-importance about her that he didn't care for, but that could have been his bias rearing up on behalf of how much he liked Sharon.

"Thank you."

"You're late," Sue scolded.

Reed winced. "I'm sorry, Sweetheart, it was a pediatric case I was called to consult on and I can't just dash in and out on those."

"I know, Reed. Maybe send a message to my mobile next time, so I can make sure the food is warm."

He smiled sheepishly. "I'll do my best."

The six of them sat to eat and while conversation wasn't stilted, it wasn't exactly easy, either. Peter was proud to note that it wasn't due to Stephen; his selecting spouse had been nothing short of a proper gentleman.

"So Peter," Reed started. "How are you finding married life?"

Stephen ever so slightly stiffened beside him. "I like it," Peter answered. And honestly, at that! "I know some people like to look down on BCSS marriages but I think Stephen and I have been lucky with ours."

"No blow-out arguments?" Johnny asked skeptically.

"No, we communicate like adults," Peter said. "I can't speak for every marriage but we value honesty and respect in ours." He smiled over at Stephen. "If we have a problem we talk through it."

"And Peter has no qualms at all about letting me know when he's displeased with me," Stephen added, returning Peter's smile in a moment that despite the company felt private. "He's more than a match for my sparkling personality."

"I'm glad to hear it," Reed said. The man was sincere about it, too. Peter wasn't sure just what exactly had happened a couple of years ago to set Stephen and Reed at odds, but he had the feeling that it pained Reed.

"Marriage does seem to suite you," Dr. Carter said to Stephen. "I'm happy for you both."

"Thank you," Peter said again before Stephen could speak.

Reed turned his questioning onto Johnny and ah. Peter could see where some of Stephen's annoyance came from. The man probably wasn't trying to be condescending, Peter was sure, but if he'd been in Johnny's spot, he'd want to act out, too. Sue and Peggy spoke about some of the new classes Sue was preparing to offer in the fall and Peter took the opportunity to squeeze Stephen's hand under the table. He didn't like knowing that he was so uncomfortable.

"How are Franklin and Valeria?" Peggy asked.

"Well, their nanny from downstairs hasn't rang inform me they've set the building on fire, so I take that as a sign that they're doing well. They love overnight trips away from the castle tower," Sue said.

"They're the artists, right?" Peter asked, motioning to the wall of children's drawings.

"They are," Sue said warmly. "And they're the race car drivers you see the tracks from," she added with a laugh. "The floor below us is a dedicated play area for all of the children in the building, but Franklin and Val prefer to make their marks on the carpet up here."

"I recognized the tracks in the carpet from when I'd attend after school daycare at Shul," Peter said, grinning.

"That was what, a year ago for you?" Johnny quipped.

"Give or take nine years," Peter said evenly. Below the table Stephen squeezed his hand in warning.

"If you stay together, he'll be like fifty by the time you're thirty," Johnny said, unwilling to let the subject drop. "Doesn't that bother you? You're basically just a kid!"

"Johnny, that's enough!" Sue snapped.

"He's only a few years younger than me," Johnny exclaimed, looking at Sue. "How does this not bother you? If told you I was getting married you'd throw a fit!"

"We're not talking about you," Stephen said sharply. "As for Peter's age I assure you he's far more mature at nineteen than you are at twenty two."

Reed sighed. "Johnny, I can appreciate your concern but it's not our place to question our guests' marriage."

It took everything he had, but Peter bit back the comment he wanted to make.

"So, Stephen," Dr. Carter said in the following silence. "I saw that you put in for time off next month. Do you have anything exciting planned?"

"A trip," Stephen answered.

"We're going to California," Peter added. "I'm really looking forward to it; I've never been to the beach before."

"Where in California?" Sue asked.

"Malibu! Tony and Sharon asked for Stephen to be there when the baby is born," Peter said cheerfully. "I'm exited to finally see a beach but I'm more excited for the baby, obviously."

Silence descended over the dining table. Dr. Carter, previously so relaxed, looked as though she'd just swallowed rocks.

"I thought I'd detected a glow in her that night we ran into the four of you at the restaurant," Sue said cheerfully. "That's wonderful!"

"You're still in contact with her?" Carter asked Stephen.

Was the woman... jealous?

"Considering she's married to my best friend, yes," Stephen said reasonably. "I've known Tony since we were in college. I stood for him in their wedding."

"And you don't think that blurs the line between patient and doctor?" She pressed.

"I've never found it a challenge to keep those boundaries in place" Stephen said pleasantly. "But I do understand that maintaining ethics and a professional code of conduct might prove difficult for others."

Her cheeks went red as she sipped her drink.

Reed was frowning at her, but didn't reprimand Stephen for the set down.

"If you're going to California, you should definitely try surfing," Johnny said, garnering Peter's attention in what was frankly a blatant but effective subject change. "Malibu is great for surfing."

Peter looked to see Stephen's reaction.

"Not a chance," Stephen said. "You'll break your neck."

"Actually my balance is really good. I do well on skateboards."

Stephen sighed in that way that told Peter he was praying for patience.

Peter did his best to keep the conversation light and pleasant after that; Stephen was stressed enough even if his demeanor gave nothing away. Peter knew his husband. Fortunately Sue was happy to talk and Johnny seemed to settle down. Peter still wasn't sure about Reed but he felt a deep dislike for Dr. Carter.

"Have you given any thought about going back to school?" Reed asked him after dinner. They were seated in the living area. Johnny and Dr. Carter had left after dinner, Johnny to return to his dorm before curfew and Dr. Carter for an alleged work meeting.

"Not really," he said. "Some of the classes here sound interesting but as far as college, I don't think so."

"That's a shame," Reed said. "I read your paper in the Van Dyne Science Journal. It showed a lot of promise. How did you get the idea?"

"I read a book on pre-modern medicine and remedies," Peter said. "It talked about poultices, and how various insects were used depending on the condition, like maggots. It wasn't much of a stretch to research more on arachnids."

They talked for nearly half and hour; Peter was amazed that Stephen hadn't dragged him away and made their excuses to leave. But Reed was brilliant and the man seemed delighted to have someone willing and able to keep up with his science talk.

When the clock chimed nine, however, they did take it as a sign to wrap things up.

"Thank you for coming tonight, Stephen," Reed said solemnly. "I apologize for Johnny; he's having a rough time of things at the moment. I know that's not an excuse, but I'm sorry."

"There's no need to apologize for him. I was far more insufferable at his age," Stephen said.

"And thank you for your patience with Peggy; I know it wasn't how you wanted to spend an evening."

Stephen merely nodded.

Reed shook Stephen's hand, then Peter's and after Sue shoved a cookie tin in Peter's hand with a warm "Thank you for a lovely evening! It was so nice getting to know you better." they left.

Stephen said nothing as they drove home. His mind was a twisted bundle of thoughts and though he could tell Peter was working himself up into an anxious mess by the way his knee was bouncing, words of comfort or reassurance failed him.

Peter made for the stairs as soon as the door closed behind them.

"Bed already?" Stephen asked.

Peter turned. "I figured you'd want to head up."

"Actually I want to decompress for a bit," he admitted.

"Alone?"

"I wouldn't say no to your company."

"Are you sure?" Peter asked. "I know blabbed at the dinner party and kept talking with Dr. Richards when I know you don't like him. Then I nearly got into an argument with Johnny and I promise, I was trying not to be a brat and ignore Dr. Carter, but Stephen I really don't like her!"

"I'm not angry with you," he assured him. "My problems with Dr. Richards. Dr. Carter, and every other member of the board are mine, not yours. As for Mr. Storm, he's always been something of a hot head. He's gotten better."

Peter stared at him and Stephen could almost see the pieces slotting into place in his mind.

"You were friends," he said as it clicked. "They used to be your friends and that's why it's so hard, isn't it?"

The best of friends, he thought.

"Yes."

To be young, beautiful, and the preference

I recently made a video about the Sprinkle Sprinkle lady, Sheraseven, and how her messaging didn't seem right with me, especially the part of her husband being married and having a girlfriend and her allegedly helping to clean out the wife's bank account, and I was told I didn't get it and they're right. The message is missing me, because at 36, I have lived to see a few things and know that everything she is saying is not completely copacetic and simply unrealistic and don't make sense. When I was 23, I was asked on a date by an older gentleman who then proceeded to ask me if I wanted to be a courtesans, which is another word for escort or, what we call today, a 304. This was not the first or last time I was asked this. I wasn't that type of girl, so I declined but no shame to those who are in the life. I had offers from older men to "take care of me," which was expected as I was young and beautiful and they were older, not necessarily ugly, but older with stable careers and money and we both knew what it was. But I noticed by the time I hit my late 20s, the offers kind of stopped. Not completely, as the man got to be a bit older, but slowed down. I say all that to say, the women like Savannah James and Sheraseven, who can truly have the hypergamous life, at seemingly very little expense, are few and far between and even Shera7 is looking a little funny in the light and Savannah doesn't talk much, so it's easy to project onto her.

I have noticed that most of the discord against Sheraseven and the SprinkleSprinkle movement comes from women in my age range, mid-late 30s to Gen X women in their 50s because we've been through it and we see how the men treat these women when they're done with them and it's not us being bitter that we're "old," it's that we know how it turns out and all the stuff they're telling you and giving you is just B.S. But like every generation, this generation of young people will have to figure it out on their own and will eventually join the elder circle of those watching the young people make the mistakes they once made.

There is a reason why the age gap between men and women began to widen around the age of 28 or so because as women began to wisen up, so do men and the luster tends to wane on both ends and this also the age when most people start to permanently, or at least legally, couple up and begin families and men, who like to impress with money, material things, and experiences can't really do that with a woman who has been experiencing that life since she was 17 or 18. Bow Wow, who is only a few months younger than me, famously said he want a woman he can give new experiences to and Marques Houston, who is in his early 40s, said he wanted a younger woman who didn't have baggage and kids, all the while saying his 19 year old wife was more mature than women twice her age. Okay. This is nothing new, men can simply blame it on feminism and independent womanhood but if we go back to history, the amount of our grandmothers and great grandmothers who got married and became mothers before they turned 18, to men twice their age, is astounding and this was before women had "rights." So miss me with the reasonings and excuses.

Youth and beauty are the most depreciating commodities but we treat them like they're everlasting and for some reason, every generation believes they are the exception and not the rule. Men have trained young, beautiful, 18-25 year old women to give them their peak beauty and time, many times to be left with very little to show for it once they hit the proverbial wall of 35 and up. Every older woman with a not so tight body and 3-4 kids, was once supple, young, and believed the world was her oyster was well and that she would never be traded in for the newest model. The naivete and resilience of late teens-20 somethings to see the best in life and that they're the exception will always amaze me because 20 somethings, who have never experienced life on their own, believe they have it all figured out. I remember being in my early 20s and getting offended when an older person told me I had more to learn or that I wasn't as wise as I thought I was and they weren't wrong and I should have listened because I would have saved myself a few mistakes and some time.

The way things were done may have changed but the game is still the same. I was in my early-mid 20s when social media really began popping to the point where nobodies became bigger stars than those with legit talent. It made multimillionaires and red carpet staples out of ordinary people. IG really became the new King Magazine, if you know you know, where a new way of life opened for women simply because they were beautiful. These women like Amber Rose, Black Chyna, Brittney Renner, India Love, Bernice Burgous, and even Kim Kardashian would go viral every time they posted a picture and many got opportunities and high profile relationships from it. The IG baddies who were at their peak in the early-mid 2010s are all in their thirties and some in their 40s and they're starting to pivot. They know Kim Kardashian is the only 40 plus woman who can still post a naked picture and it seem normal. Women in this life, from all generations, typically do one of three things, they have a baby, they get married, or they pivot into a successful business owner or even religion. The women who are my age, mid-late 30s are considered old or used up because this is the age your body changes and no longer easily bounces back, and women tend to be wiser and talk back a little more and men want a trophy and not a chihuahua.

The amount of women who believe they can outplay the architect of the game, is amazing to me. The game will always be rigged to let just enough of the select few in for us to believe we all have a chance at being the exception to the rule. The amount of women I see who believe they are playing men, only to get played at the end, is astounding. I remember when Ashley, from RHOP, was still married to Michael and they redid their prenup after he got caught cheating to get half of their shared assets and they're now divorced and she's not getting any child support while living in a house she cannot afford, that is in an LLC, that Michael owns and he can come by anytime he wants and make her company leave but let the internet tell it, Ashley won and she outplayed Michael.

There is a phrase that goes "church is where hoes go to die" because at some point, everyone ages out of the game, no matter what game you play, and sometimes the church is the only place a former hussie can have a little bit of power. There is a reason why Blac Chyna and Brittany Renner are trying to pivot because while they're still beautiful and someone's dream girl, they've aged out of the population they were once prominent in.

Hello! By way of introduction, I’m a 28 year old bisexual woman, and I have no particular gender preference. I would be interested in an Overwatch matchup. My MBTI is ISTJ, and my zodiac is Libra. Personality-wise I’m pretty reserved and can certainly be aloof, but I warm up pretty fast, even if I sometimes show I care in unusual ways. I’m a pretty smart and analytical person and am pretty knowledgeable about a lot. I can also get pretty passionate and enthusiastic about my interests. I’ve also been told I’m pretty witty and have a good sense of humor. I’m a fairly classy woman, dressing fairly elegantly, regularly going out to see ballets, and in fact trying to learn opera as a hobby. Appearance wise I’m about 5’7”, decently muscular, with light skin and long auburn hair and brown eyes. I think I’m running out of room, so hopefully that should be enough information!

your match-up and star messenger is . . .

COLE CASSIDY (estp) !

you are the "cocky and the diva-ish" couple

it's no matter what moment you have first caught cassidy's eyes, every time he looks at you for a little while longer, letting his thought wander. he can't help the thought of spending a lifetime with you, marrying you, and settle down if you wish to. he is a gentleman when he wants to be and his mouth doesn't just let snarky remarks out.

you both are sensing personalities, you tend to focus on the present and base decisions on logical thinking but you might prefer to follow a plan and be alone while cassidy loves connecting with others and seeking new experiences. but all of this doesn't mean he doesn't love to part take in your witty comments, battle with you until non of you can take each other seriously, and burst out laughing.

no matter how many times you corrected him before or called him stupid, he still thinks you are complimenting him someway somehow, he is delusional like that. no matter how stupid he acts he always finds a way to charm his way back into your heart so be ready. he cares in unusual ways just like you, no matter what crazy idea might pop into his head to make you feel better or just show his love, you can count on it that it will be both funny and touching.

you both are thinking personalities and address disagreements logically, as surprising as it is cole really does have a smarter side to him. resolving conflicts, real conflicts, and not the mouth karate you already do on a daily basis will be easier to do than you might imagine. while you might need some alone time to work through your issues because of your energy levels, you can expect him to be there at the end to settle the matter.

some aspects of your relationship would be:

teasing fights about who is the hotter shit, but in the end, you reserve him into a pile of ash by the end

picnic dates !!! you would think he wouldn't do anything so romantic like this but he is, and man it's good !

trying to get him to clothe up nicely whenever the two of you go out together, he might look all hot dressed up like his cowboy self but he would look even better in a suit or proper pants

"your eyes shine brighter than my mechanic arm, darling'"

MEETING EACH OTHER !

version 1

you were working at route 66's diner, serving pancakes for a living, and even if it was long hours, having to smell frying oil all day, and listen to the earful customers that came in it was still paying for your apartment and food. you did not complain too much, you had no real reason to because everybody has a bad day. then he waltzed in, with his stupid cowboy hat and gun on his belt, a cocky smile plastering on his face as he took one of the booths you were assigned as the server to.

"penny for your thoughts beautiful? a stack of pancakes on me for you while you are at it."

version 2

blackwatch was deep in the murky waters with the US government wanting to disband the squad and with overwatch, even if they didn't really want it, supporting the idea. that's where you came into the picture, the person who could potentially turn around the fate of the operational group for the better. you came in, taking them apart member by member and when it came around to be cole cassidy, it was troublesome to keep up with his smart comments, but you can't say you didn't have the most fun with him out of the other members.

"cole cassidy, but you can call me whatever you want darlin'...."

YOUR SONG IS . . .

hot blooded by foreigner !

Tamworth Pride's Dianne returns to Better Date Than Never

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/tamworth-prides-dianne-returns-to-better-date-than-never/

Tamworth Pride's Dianne returns to Better Date Than Never

Two familiar faces return in the second season of the ABC’s dating series Better Date Than Never tonight.

The show, from the creators of Love on the Spectrum, started last year, introducing viewers to a cast of Aussies who for various reasons had never been on a date before.

Two of the queer Aussies from the uplifting first season last year are back, still looking for the one.

Dianne (above right) is a transgender woman and a farmer in Tamworth, New South Wales. She transitioned just over five years ago and is President of Tamworth Pride, supporting other queer people in her community.

However finding a partner in her regional area has been difficult. Better Date Than Never catches up with Dianne in the first episode of season two, on ABC and streaming on ABC iview tonight.

She’s preparing for what she feels could be her “last roll of the dice” on the dating scene.

“I’m 68. I’m getting there, so I’m running out of time to find the love of my life,” Dianne says.

Through the power of ADHD, I recalled a memory that's funny because I'd handle it so differently today.

When I was 19, I started seeing this guy I worked with - who was 28 at the time. I didn't think it was weird then, but now that I'm that age I'm like, "Yeah, big red flag. 19 year olds are fetuses."

Anyway. He'd taken this other chick we worked with on one date. She had already started planning their wedding. She was about 35, well over a decade older than myself.

I'm at this guy's house one night, probably watching Game of Thrones or something, and I go in his bathroom and see a bunch of long, thick, almost black hair in his trash can. I ask who he murdered and he said it was from this other chick at work, who I know he'd taken on a date and didn't really care because that's never been how I am.

He tells her about it the next day at work, assuming she'd calm down when she knew he was dating me, but nope! This was one of those thrice divorced, two kids from different guys, "this is why you're 35 and haven't found a man" type situations.

Because this woman who is a full 15 years my senior decides to start bullying me relentlessly until I left that job. It went on for like 6-8 months. She either wouldn't speak to me (bad, because I was her boss), or she'd whisper about how I'm a whore or skank as I walked by. To be clear: I was never anything but nice to her. I knew she'd been having a rough time dating, and I was not looking to make her hurt. I'm sure it's really hard dating as a single mom. Being a bitch for no reason isn't my forte anyhow.

But like 3 weeks into her being a dick, she starts sitting me down and "apologizing," then continuing on with how he'll never fuck me like he did her (ok?), and how he's not right for me (whatever?), etc. She described in detail every minute of their very brief sex life. And, at the time, I just dealt with it and continued seeing this guy despite the drama he was also bringing into the situation.

Now? My ass would nope out of that so fast. I'd be like, "Listen, lady. Take him. I'm not gonna fight you for a guy who can't be bothered to clean cat puke up off his floor." I didn't even like him that much anyway. I think I just really wanted out of my mom's house and continuing on with him was the easiest way out.

But still. I cannot fathom bullying a 19 year old kid at my age, and I have the better part of a decade still before I'm 35. What a wild situation, what an idiot I was for entertaining anyone involved in it.

#young me was very afraid of being confrontational also

name: Ryan Ford gender & pronouns: Cis Woman | She/her age & date of birth: 28 years old | August 29th, 1994 neighborhood: Berry Hill time living in nashville: 12 years occupation: Country Singer signed to Good Roots

BACKGROUND.

“She really has a set of lungs on her,” were the first words spoken when Ryan Ford entered the world. She’d been born in the early morning of a hot summer day with a headful of blonde hair and bright blue eyes. The youngest of the Ford siblings, Ryan grew up living a white picket fence dream. Her family was painfully suburban — happily married parents, two kids, a golden retriever playing in the backyard, family trips camping during summer holidays. All of that seemed to come crashing down around her when she was nine and her parents’ seemingly perfect marriage began to crumble. It had started with disagreements and petty comments before eventually boiling over into full blown screaming matches. They separated and divorced after her father’s infidelity came to light a few years later and Ryan decided then and there to side with her mother. Her relationship with her father has never really recovered, the two remaining tense and strained more often than not to this day and the betrayal has stuck in the back of Ryan’s mind any time she enters a romantic relationship.

Ryan began to experiment with music at a young age, often riffing with her brother at the dinner table much to their mother’s annoyance. She got an acoustic guitar for Christmas when she was eleven, and she’s never really put it down since. She did some amateur song writing in her pre-teen years, mostly for school talent shows and as an alternative for journaling. When she was thirteen she made a YouTube account where she would upload both original and cover songs, though none ever really made waves for the first few years. For whatever reason, when she was seventeen one of them landed on the right persons’ homepage and a Reba McEntire cover she had recorded in her bedroom led to record labels calling. She and her mother fly into Nashville and begin meeting with label representatives and negotiating contracts. Her mother had initially been hesitant to allow her to sign anything, wanting her to focus on her education rather than chase a one in a million chance but eventually caved, supporting her daughter even if she didn’t fully agree with her choices. Before long, she signs on the dotted line and Ryan moves to Music City to work on her first album.

Her debut album is twelve tracks and called ‘DIBS’, named for the first single. It’s nothing record breaking or even particularly unique, but it’s Ryan’s and she loves it. They released it just in time for the summer and the country-pop album is full of steele guitar and twangy hooks and picked up by country radio stations around the country. Her target audience had been girls her own age, and it’s popular with them. Eventually she released a deluxe version with an acoustic B side and the success landed her a short touring deal opening for an A-List country star. With the tour, her fanbase begins to expand and Ryan begins to fully let herself believe this is her chance for success.

Her second album, titled ‘UNAPOLOGETIC’ is met with mixed reviews. On one hand, fans love it and the singles receive plenty of radio time. But on the other hand, critics are quick to label it as bubble gum pop and lacking depth, leaving Ryan discouraged. She had been proud of the album, especially having worked on it with her brother. The label assures her that the fans are loving it, despite what critics have to say, and in the end the numbers don’t lie. It does well for itself with a number one single, and Ryan goes off on her first headlining tour of arenas in North America. It’s a four month run and even though she doesn’t sell out every show, Ryan loves it. She meets the man who would become her husband in 2016. Of course, she knew who he was. His career ran parallel to hers, a star in his own right and admittedly she had some of his songs on her playlist, but their paths hadn’t really crossed up until then. They had both been booked to play a weekend long country music festival and ended up spending a good portion of the weekend hanging out and flirting. Ryan’s dating history had been widely speculated on up until that point, often finding herself in whirlwind romances that don’t last long, Ryan’s anxious attachment style often leading to their premature downfall. For whatever reason though, she felt safe with Jason and it seemed like she had finally managed to get it right. They marry fairly quickly and the tabloids run wild with it but Ryan is happy and that’s all she cares about.

The first few years of their marriage are exactly what Ryan had always wanted. They understood each other in a way she had never experienced before and seemingly fell into marital bliss. Her writing felt like it was better than ever, in 2017 she put out a double album. Side A titled ‘NEEDY’ and side B titled ‘OVERSHARE’ the albums consist of the same thirteen tracks, with side A having full production and side B being fully acoustic. The singles skyrocket to number one and it seems that she finally begins to break out of the Neon Cowgirl bubble her label had put her in, reaching audiences who previously hadn’t been able to resonate with her music. It was gratifying and Ryan was ecstatic. However, while her career thrives her marriage begins to deteriorate. With one or both of them always seeming on the road, oftentimes there are weeks or even months where Ryan and Jason don’t see each other. Distance, busy schedules and time zone differences begin to take their toll on the marriage and Ryan can feel Jason slipping between her fingers. Their connection seemingly broken, it quickly begins to feel like they are no longer playing on the same team, instead often arguing and being petty to each other. In 2022 they officially divorce and Ryan tells herself they had done the best that they could.

In the fall of 2022, while still touring, she drops a surprise EP called ‘just married.’ It’s six tracks that lay out the downfall of her marriage through Ryan’s eyes, accompanied by a short film on her YouTube channel and it changes everything. If Ryan’s career had been thriving before, it’s absolutely skyrocketed now. The EP is widely regarded as the best writing she has ever done, being brutally honest and vulnerable. The album makes headlines and charts on an international basis, something Ryan hadn’t managed to do with her previous albums, aside from the odd fluke here and there. She hadn’t released it as a strategic career move, rather having used it as a self-healing tool but it’s clear that it was working in her favour. Impulsively, she adds another leg onto the ‘OVERSHARING’ tour, continuing into the new year.

The tour ended in LA in March of 2023 and Ryan is looking forward to some much needed downtime. Or as close to it as she can get. Her nights on the road had been spent with a guitar in her lap and a notebook beside her, lyrics flowing out of her on a near constant basis. She’d perfected them over the spring and now finds herself in the studio working diligently on recording her upcoming album. While she hasn’t officially released the title, she announced that a new album would be coming in the fall of 2023 on her instagram at the beginning of July, much to fan’s excitement.

27 April 2023 Thursday jueves 8:10 am pt

if incubus was really cat fishing me, calling himself “Brendan” online and on the phone (green auto save. More harsh biting with acid pain top lip 😖😭 left shoulder pain bone 🦴 and flesh 8:12 am pt) then he had a lot of shameful stuff to hide so obviously he is trying to slyly get rid of me by sugar coating the truth to me flip flopping. He alluded to it and it totally makes sense why he would have that awful falsetto voice to hide his real voice that I heard on the phone when I was 16 years old back in 2001.

8:15 am pt when I was 16 years old his voice was appealing to me. And the thought of being with a 17/18 year old maybe was alluring? Tempting? 8:16 am pt I’ve heard (acid brain 🧠😖😭hot pain 8:16 am pt) older men say 5 years difference is ideal btwn a man and a young woman. I met a classmate 16 years old dating a 21? Year old guy and she said he was like a puppy. But now that I’m older, I think it’s extremely weird. Abnormal. Why not someone you’re age ?(right foot pain 😖😭) it’s weird to me. 21/22 year olds interested in 16/17 year old girls. 8:19 am pt

8:19 am pt so of course he would desolate me and set me up to fail multiple times. I was only a whore to him. Nicolatian style he was going to share with his bros so they’d band together like brothers to get rid of me the evidence that they are weird. 8:20 am pt

8:21 am pt a lot of loud door slamming this morning.

8:23 pm pt quit playing games with my heart. 🎶🎼🎵🎤🎧🎸[...] I should have known from the start. But now, that he wants to make me think we were married? It starts to look like even more that he was the one catfish me in 2001. Full circle. 8:25 am pt

8:27 am pt he attacked my vag with acid again 😖😭.

8:28 pm pt he would rather be friends with cano, carter, nick v./b., and garrido? Than with me. 8:29 am pt. And probably Jon benet Ramsey’s real rapist and murderer Bcz it might not be that guy who confessed which is very weird - they say they didn’t find his dna 🧬 at all. Originally I heard them speculate that it could have been the father Bcz she didn’t scream or that maybe she was familiar with the man. They formerly said murder usually occurred btwn people who know each other. But I guess it’s false to say that Bcz there are all sorts of reasons people kill each other without knowing each other. 8:33 am pt so I smell 👃 acetone again? 8:34 am pt. Incubus likes to confuse. I will be very sorrowful and disappointed if incubus demon lord kills me to hide everything. 8:34 am pt after all the build up and stretching everything out for years. Turns out life is a lie. And even god would cover up the truth to save his own *ss. 8:35 am pt like a real d*ck would. 8:36 am pt 😖😭acid brain 🧠 pain skull 💀 biting acid like hot 🥵. If he needs this to break down the bone 🦴 I’m wondering 💭 what the hell he put in it???? This don’t seem normal! Is this why I’m short!? 8:37 am pt I’m confused 🤷🏻‍♀️!!!! Left side ribs pain right hip hot searing 8:38 am pt. I’ve endured many hot days in my life that I wouldn’t want to endure again. 8:39 am pt I think people are going to be disappointed rough acid brain 🧠 pain that the stuff in my bones 🦴 comes at a price of what I believe it’s true. You have to be almost unbearably exposed to hot weather a lot to probably get it in. Maybe the stuff he put in me is irregular? So it wouldn’t help anyone looking to grow up tall without pain and difficulty. I had a very uncomfortable in my body type of life. I wore clothing for cold weather when it was hot 🥵 Bcz I was ashamed of my body hair. A guy named after Captain Hook 🪝 asked me aren’t you hot? In high school 🏫. I lied 🤥. I was hot. I said I wasn’t. (Left hip pain bone 🦴 8:43 am pt) I put myself thru stuff like an addict would but it was hot stuff. If you like air conditioning and being comfortable and not in pain then the stuff in my bones 🦴 if I’m right is probably not for you. 8:45 am pt (acid throat pain 8:45 am pt) I had very dry skin open eczema a lot. There are other things I’m afraid to say Bcz he might hurt me more if I said it. 8:46 am pt

5:22 pmpt I went to the Philippines 🇵🇭 4 times, Arizona 2 times. (Acid brain 🧠 pain) I lived in old apartments and I would stay there most of the summer time and it would feel like hot oven. No air conditioning. I remember days when temperatures were over 100 💯 degrees. Maybe even reaching was it 110 or 114???? Hard to recall. No air conditioning in school 🏫 I only remember one place I went to having air conditioning from 2000-2001? During the summer? Everywhere else was HOT 🥵 with only a regular fan and or an open balcony. And there was at least one year I wore jeans 👖 and 3/4 sleeve tops and I still had my jacket with me. Phillippines is HOT 🥵 even in November. And it’s a very expensive and loooong flight ✈️. It formerly was almost 2 days long. 5:30 pmpt. Now I see it’s 15 hours? Dang. Airplanes got faster. 5:30 pmpt

5:53 pmpt I also did at least 2 ten mile walkathons probably the whole 10 miles in elementary school 🏫, and always strived to p.r. (Personal record) on every mile we had to run 🏃🏻‍♀️ in physical education. I remember hot 🥵 days on the black top at school 🏫. No pain no gain. Very uncomfortable 🥵 conditions most of my life, and then I think 💭 I stopped growing b4 I turned 17 years old? 5:58 pmpt

I also didn’t have regular access to a swimming 🏊‍♀️ pool 🏊‍♀️ from around 1993? My parents divorce onward. Dog 🐶 hot 🥵 days of summer. 6:01 pmpt not to mention a sh*tty life. 6:02 pmpt

6:07 pmpt if you like living in very hot heat most of your life and in discomfort nearly every day and you like fevers, Bcz that’s probably what it takes to grow tall with very hard hard bones 🦴. No pain no gain. 6:09 pmpt it comes at a price.no one wants to be that hot 🥵 and in discomfort all the time. 6:10 pmpt

Everyone else in my family got air conditioning. 6:11 pmpt my sister would ditch me to go to frisco and left me at home 🏠 to bake.

6:13 (hot butt bones 🦴) it got so hot 🥵 the cold water 💦 came out hot in the kitchen. 6:14 pmpt

6:57 pmpt forgot... ohh I remember. 1 2 3 4 tell me that you love 💗 me more. 6:59 pmpt... not possible I guess. That’s why they keep on doing sh*t to me. Dug themselves a hole 🕳. 7 pmpt . If someone cared enough for my side of the story early on, a lot could have been avoided. 7:01 pmpt

7:02 pmpt weather people are they psychics? I don’t understand I guess I’m not smart enough for understand how they can predict weather. 7:03 pmpt

9:43 pmpt I didn’t want Derek for very long even though señior year of high school 🏫 I told him I thought 💭 he was the only guy worth giving my virginity to. I think 💭 how our only phone ☎️ conversation went and my mom wanting me to quit talking to him made me try to let him go. I somehow thought I was doing something good letting him go, for mom. That’s the only way I was able to let him go. “Brendan” talked so sweet from March to December. I forget when was the first time we talked or how many times [on the phone ☎️. First time we chatted online was after Nick’s bday 3/05] . I remember once he asked [on the phone ☎️ 11:01 pmpt] “we are boyfriend and girlfriend right?” To which I couldn’t answer him anything. 9:48 pmpt later on when I tested him with a new screen name I might have got a little annoyed when he said he didn’t have a girlfriend. Which is weird Bcz after Xmas I got a surprise email 📧 and instant messages from his girlfriend saying that I probably have a fat head and she wanted to know where I was so she could beat me up 🆙. She misspelled Brendan as brednan. When I saw his face on Friendster I think 💭 my obsession? Might have intensified. But I wanted a serendipity like interaction with him which kept me waiting and wondering 💭 if we would ever meet. 9:54 pmpt we must have talked at least 3 times on the phone ☎️. But it could have been more. (Acid throat pain 9:55 pmpt) I guess none of this matters to anyone? Which is why nurses don’t doctors 🥼 don’t care 🤷🏻‍♀️ to know more. Bcz I got so weird in high school 🏫 probably from the head trauma, I lost friends. Including one who knew about “Brendan.” She won’t talk to me anymore. She probably forgot about the whole thing Bcz she cut me out of her life señior year/after grad night. 9:57 pmpt

10 pmpt Bcz “Brendan” anad I did not have much more substance to our (acid throat pain 10:01 pmpt) conversation other than s*xual stuff, I still felt like I needed more but I didn’t close off the idea 💡 that maybe if we tried maybe there could have been more. 10:04 pmpt

10:07 pmpt before June 16, 2001 “Brendan” said he was 17 years old old. After June 16, 2001 he said he said he was 17 years old. I gave him chances even though it seemed obvious he lied 🤥 about his age probably Bcz he talked sweet and Nick didn’t. 10:09 pmpt .11:01 Pmpt [ ]. 11:02 pmpt

11:43 pmpt I wrote in a post that when I was a baby 👶 I lived in me Menlo Park. Autocorrect changed it or incubus changed it! I lived in Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park Menlo Park

11:47 pmpt also I wrote but I can’t find it again: incubus pretending to be my husband makes it come to full circle ⭕️, making it look 👀 more probable that he catfished me in 2001, March to December, 15 going on 16 years old. 11:49 pmpt it’s like admitting w/o admitting. (Rough brain 🧠 hot right ear 👂 bit feeling pain right hip bone 🦴 pain 11:49 pmpt)

11:53 pmpt unfortunately for me someone called in February b4 Valentine’s Day? Trying to remember... and said whoever was using the cellphone 📱 who called me was also calling multiple other girls! 😭😖😭😑 dog 🐶! 11:55 pmpt

11:57 pmpt acid rough pain throat. But I was probably unlucky that the girl /young woman 👧 in Sunday morning music 🎶 video looks like Melissa cuen my school 🏫 mate who was part of my clique (mutual friends) 11:59 pmpt.

12:00 🕛 am pt we had a mutual friend who no longer talks to me. She formerly allowed me to sit on her lap. It was not s*xual. The incubus sat on Blake Shelton’s lap a lot so to me it seemed highly probable that he was copying me. 12:02 am pt

12:12 am pt pain pelvis? bone 🦴 pain the part that makes camel toe! 2 minutes ago. Repeat 🔁: Bcz incubus has an awful falsetto voice most of the time, it makes him look guilty of cat fishing me Bcz I talked to “Brendan” on the telephone ☎️ to have phone s*x. If you watched the voice in 2017/2018 you might have heard the incubus’ voice go deeper to a more natural sounding tone. 12:15 am pt Blake Shelton complimented him saying he’s very talented. Right hip pain 😤🥵😤😤🥵😤🥵 on Instagram near a fireplace 🔥 with calirisa tequila I think it was a December post his voice also dips then. I’m trying to remember if it looks like he’s talking out of the side of his mouth 👄 when he makes himself sound high/falsetto when he talks (not singing) 12:17 am pt front ribs pain 12:18 am pt.

12:19 am pt right arm hot pain 😖😭 he also likes to do different accents. “Brendan” had a little bit of a New York accent. It was s*xy. 12:21 am pt

12:22 am pt when I heard Melissa cuen arrive prom night at the double tree 🌳 hotel 🏨 she was curiously, talking in a type of new yorkish accent. Normally she didn’t. Not that I have noticed, but that evening she made it exaggerated so it was noted. I heard her* gush “ADAM” and then my mind went somewhere else oddly and didn’t catch the rest. 12:23 am pt. I didn’t know about Adam Noah Levine back then. I don’t think I knew about karas flowers 🌺 even though I probably did see them on 90210. I was a frugal kid unless it was Barbie dolls.😥 I remembered saving more than $100 once which I probably shared with my sister 2 times. I cut a blackberry bush to earn money 💰 once to buy a Barbie doll. 12:27 am pt it took all day! I think 💭 I remembered it taking hours. I think they wanted it completely gone??? Fuzzy memory. 12:28 am pt now I doubt myself. 12:29 am pt I also didn’t hear much of maroon 5 maybe only harder to breathe 🧘🏻‍♀️ once on the way to school 🏫. But I don’t recall learning much or anything at all. But I remembered hearing harder to breathe 🧘🏻‍♀️ on the radio 📻 and it sounded catchy. In 2001 incubus was at 5 towns college in Long Island 🏝 New York where “Brendan” said he was. Long Island 🏝. Maroon was the color for the school 🏫 5 towns college. 12:32 am pt I only got a few cds 💿 from earning gift 🎁 certificates from school 🏫 from going to the home 🏠 work center in the library 📚. So I had no choice in middle school 🏫 but to get some cds 💿:backstreet boys millennium, Christina Aguilera, *NSYNC? A few others. But no karas flowers 🌺. Didn’t hear about it. Even though I probably fleetingly heard soap 🧼 disco 🕺🏻 once. 12:35 am pt elementary school 🏫 years I listened to country music 🎶🎼🎵 radio 📻. During hush school my sister liked to dictate what we listened to/which radio 📻 station I think I remember. 12:36 am pt

High not hush 12:39 am pt

12:44 am pt I think 💭 I’m really going to die! They’re scratching away bones 🦴 below my waist! 😖😭😫😩😤🥵😤🥵12:45 am pt

12:47 am pt my sister grew away from the boy bands and Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. She liked blink182 all through middle school 🏫. I didn’t stray far from *NSYNC. But I also didn’t buy anymore cds 💿 probably past middle school 🏫 and high school 🏫. Only *NSYNC no strings attached. Digital get down just you and me baby 20000 miles away 🎶🎼🎵🎤🎧🎸 it was meant to be I guess was cyber s*x a thing b4 2001???? 12:51 am pt webcam. I did not have in 2001. 12:52 am pt. What ever was on the radio 📻 was usually what we only heard. We had a used van I think it was used. Then an old car 🚗 after that. Didn’t splurge on radio 📻 in car 🚗 systems. We had antenna radio 📻. We tried Napster but heard we could get in trouble so we stopped using it. 12:55 am pt still did not know Kara flowers 💐. Barely much maroon 5. 12:56 am pt

12:58 am pt I think 💭 sometimes mom canceled cable tv 📺 to save money 💰. Some times we had mtv. But I liked to watch comedy 🎭 sister sister, cartoons, Lizzie maguure, the 3 musketeers movie 🎥 during hot summer nights 1 am pt

1:01 am pt this whole thing is a trick to neglect myself 😖😭😱😤🥵😤🥵😰 1:02 am pt no one cares!!!!! 😭 1:03 am pt

1:05 am pt I think 💭 we never downloaded Karas flowers and never maroon5. 1:06 am pt only heard on radio 📻

20 Best Steamy Romance Films to Get You Hot and Mood

Why we love steamy romance movies

You don't even have to be in a relationship to enjoy steamy romance films. Sure, they can help you create a sexy atmosphere on a date. Even if you're single, watching a few sexy scenes has numerous advantages. These films can set the mood, help you release tension, or serve as a warm-up for your own steamy romance. So there you have it: a few reasons why we enjoy steamy romance films.

Our favorite steamy romance movies

Action films, horror films, and chick flicks are all enjoyable to watch. However, there are times when you need to spice up your movie night. Check out our list of the best steamy romance movies if you're looking for something steamy to watch alone or with your partner. 1. Nymphomaniac: Volume I and II (2013)

20 Best Steamy Romance Films to Get You Hot and Mood Lars Von Trier has to be included on this list of steamy romance films. The Nymphomaniac films tell the story of a sex addict and the trials and tribulations she faces throughout her life. Each film is over two hours long, but it's well worth it. The movies go into great detail about the character and what drives her to do what she does. Is there nudity present? Yes. Do you have any squirming moments? Yes. It has it all, including some spanking. 2. Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013)

This French film follows a teenage girl as she explores her sexuality with a blue-haired art student. It's a passionate love story with an extra layer of passion because it's a French film! You won't be able to stop watching once you hit play. So, if you have any plans, you should cancel them because this film is over three hours long. The sexual and passionate scenes are intense. And there's a lot of naughtiness, so don't watch this with your parents. It will not be enjoyable for you or them. 3. I Am Love (2009)

20 Best Steamy Romance Films to Get You Hot and Mood How can sex and drama not go together? Some people think Tilda Swinton looks like an alien, but she plays a sex kitten in this film. Furthermore, the director is Luca Guadagnino, who also directed another of our favorites, Call Me By Your Name. Swinton portrays the Russian-born matriarch of a wealthy Italian family who is having an affair with their chef. Unfortunately, the affair threatens to devastate her life as she knows it... Dun dun duuuuuuuun. 4. Y Tu Mana Tambien (2001)

What happens when two young adolescent boys and a 28-year-old married woman go on a road trip together? You'll have to watch this steamy romance film to find out. This film contains everything you're probably thinking about. Best of all, it is also directed by Alfonso Cuaron. If you're unfamiliar with his work, he directed Children of Men and Gravity, so you know it'll be good. 5. Fatal Attraction (1987)

20 Best Steamy Romance Films to Get You Hot and Mood The plot is as follows: a man has an affair with a woman; the man wants the affair to end, but the woman does not. Then she loses her mind. This is a classic plot, but Fatal Attraction is the first film to try it. It's hot, passionate, and naughty. It's the ultimate steamy love story! Because it's the 1980s, they all have crazy hairdos. 6. Gloria (2013)

20 Best Steamy Romance Films to Get You Hot and Mood There aren't many steamy romance films centered on middle-aged people... It's always about young, attractive people. But you'll be pleasantly surprised in this case: it's about older hot people. This Chilean film tells the story of a divorced middle-aged woman who goes to singles' dance clubs in search of love.
