genevieve turned her head to look at the femme her eyes brows cocking up hearing those words she knew what she meant but wanted clarification "want to know what feels like?" she asked.

She felt a smile tugging at the corner of her lips as her mind opened up. "I want to know what it feels like to be truly in love. You hear about all these emotions of being lifted and warm." She breathed in slowly. "I want to feel all of it. And deeply."

she didn't want to look at him, feeling how much her chest was aching.''you should have kissed me that night and maybe i would have been,''

"Maybe?" His eyes lingered on the femme as a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. "I do regret that missed opportunity."

"Wait, what? Why can't you trust me?"

"A little birdie told me about what you told some people last night—about me." His arms crossing over his frame as he took a deep sigh. "I trusted you with that secret."

"I do know a spa that has the best massages and wine. If you're treating yourself there has to be wine." If there was one thing she inherited from her mother, it was a taste for the finer things in life. She knew her siblings were more comfortable with a 'normal' life, but Nicole had always had to go for the luxury side of life. "If it helps, I'll give you free rein over my room and every accessory in there, sacrifices must be made for perfect outfits." Nodding as Raven stood up, she shifted to get more comfortable on the couch, busying herself with her phone to wait for the other to come back.

"So that sounds like a win-win scenario place." She could already imagine herself being treated as royalty in the place. Raven was a spoiled girl, and she didn't mind that people called her that. She loved that Nicole understood her love for wanting nice things. Raven had grown up in a luxury lifestyle but she was always very open and wanted to share her experiences with others. Her family called her a princess, and she lived up to it. "I am so excited right now, are you sure? I mean—only if you insist." She gleamed as she gave a short dance. Raven loved Nicole's collection and would always admire them. Taking the dress out of the closet, the female smiled. The green dress was everything she wanted for this evening and was elated to show Nicole. Once she changed into her low-cut revealing dress, she quickly walked over. "Ready?" She spoke warmly before peeking around the corner. Giving the other a twirl, she couldn't help but feel amazing in that moment.

"I'm glad you approve. Can't beat a corny classic." Fliss replied, offering a smile over at the other. "Do you, uh... Need a top up?" She motioned to Isla's glass.

Isla usually found it difficult to have other female friends; she couldn't get the hang of being super close all the time. It's not that she didn't want to, but she was career-driven, her boyfriend took a lot of her time, and she always tried to be perfect for everyone else. But somehow with Felicity it felt easy. She was comfortable with her and never felt any pressure to act any certain way. She felt a safety she hadn't felt with many others. "Well, that is a fact." She laughed, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. Looking down at her glass, she gleamed, "Oh yes, please." This bottle is amazing, by the way. I hope you didn't have to break bank for it too. Do you want my company? We can have a little break."

"You say insane, I say fun." Holly shrugged, the words having no effect. It wasn't the first, and she doubted it would be the last time, that somebody told her that she wasn't thinking straight. "Where's your sense of adventure? It's not like I'm advocating we break in and vandalize their home, but I think keying their car is a perfectly reasonable reaction to him insulting you. I mean who goes up to someone in a bar, just to insult them?"

Deena raised a brow as she leaned back into her chair at her comments, "Okay, sure." She mumbled to herself as she allowed the other to speak. Honestly Deena was a little nervous to cause a ruckus. She was all bark but no bite. "What do you think will happen to us if we get caught, though? Did you think about that?" She leaned forward as she put her hand on the table. "Sure, I am upset over that idiot, but is this really the way to go?"

"or on a t-shirt. i'd settle for a t-shirt." she nods once, a slow smile spreading over her cat like features when the other wiggles her brows. ridiculous. adorable. "yes, i want to hear it. dinner and a show-- duh. and first dates are weird because people are weird. they can be weird good or weird bad. what kind of weird was this one? call 911 or..."

"Maybe we should get them printed then." Aisha joked as she crossed her legs on the couch. All she wanted was comfort and relaxation. "It definitely was an 'oh god, why did I swipe right?' vibe." Teasingly, she shivered over the idea. "I just didn't expect him to tell too many stories about other people. Intimate stories. Not to mention why were there still pictures involved?! Like isn't that weird?"

Andy was loving the atmosphere, the music beat drumming through his entire body as he moved. He found himself thriving in places like this, able to just feel completely free and have fun. He felt the stranger's hands on his hips and he smirked, pressing up against him in return. It was blissful, and when he glanced over the man's shoulder, he spotted Heath's gaze on him from across the room. He reached out with a hand towards the other and motioned for the blonde to join him, grinning slightly as he did so.

Heath stood there watching the male as his heart raced over how they looked. Jealously running through his veins as he wished to be the man close to him. He couldn't blink, his body pulling him to be near them. The music was pounding through his ears, and he couldn't concentrate. When their eyes met, it felt as if something lifted some of the pain away. All he wanted was to be seen in their eyes. A smirk finally tugged at the corner of his lips as he welcomed the invitation. His body moved before his brain could catch up. Downing the last gulp from his drink, he left the drink, eager to dance. Allowing himself to move to the music, he approached the other. "Did you think you could have this much fun without me?" He raised a brow, his eyes diverting towards the other and the new stranger.

She hadn't been expecting the conversation to veer the way it had, which meant she was entirely unprepared to deal with it. Instead of focusing on the complex emotions - she tried to go into dumb comedy. "Look on the bright side? I'm sure there's lots of people around, who'd love to keep you company. I'm sure you'd be too busy to miss anyone."

Terrance chewed the inside of his cheek as he heard her words. Words that sunk his heart. He knew there were other people, but he didn't care about them. "I guess so." His voice was soft and full of uncertainty. "Yet, I just don't care about other people, Lexi."

chris sighed and tried to pinpoint where his frustration was really coming from. he wouldn't lie to himself, he still had feelings for her, and it colored his annoyance. he thought that they had ended on a clean enough spot though that she could just be straight up with him, but she had a point: it didn't concern him. not anymore. " you know what, you're right. forget it," he waved it off. " guess i'm just not used to you not telling me shit anymore, "

Isi thought she was finally over the lack of communication with Chris. However, standing in front of him changed what she thought. In this moment it felt harder to push away from them. "You're the one who wanted this to end." She added as she took a deeper sigh. Although she knew she didn't do anything wrong, she still felt guilty. "I thought I needed to be a separate person. A person away from who I was."

Aisha had been the only person who Ria told after it happened, the one person she trusted the most to confess it to. The one person she never doubted for a second. But she had been a little surprised to hear what her friend was doing now, a small smile appearing on her face. "I definitely am aware... But that's really sweet of you, Aisha..."

Aisha cared deeply for Ria and wanted to be there to help and support the other femme. She understood how something like this can be scary for some, but she wanted to be her rock. "Of course, Ria." She smiled as she reached for their hands. "You know I will never leave your side. No matter what."
