               ❝ good ❞ she repeated , seemingly pleased with herself for it . it was an empty compliment truly , mostly because the chances of jackson saying anything oher than what she wanted to hear were pretty much nonexitent , but that didn’t keep her from flattering herself as he truly only went along with her own words .

               catalina hummed , reaction time slowed , lips still pursed as he pulled away from the ghost of a kiss . ❝ oi ! are you playing coy on me now ? ❞ she giggled , titling her head to the side as she looked at him ,  ❝ though i meaaaan , i guess if you want me to leave i can ... ❞ she trailed off , even if that could be put into question , it was already questionable how she had even managed to make her way to his in the first place .

                call it a booty call , a regular hook up , friends with benefits , whatever physical relationship people developed , it was always a slippery slope that seemed to end up in heart break . catalina never understood why , perhaps her mother's influence in her explained it , open-minded women who refused to shy away from the idea of sex being fun and making the most of it while they can .  ❝ good ❞ she decided , tilting her head to look at him .

               ❝ heeey ! ❞ she whined , more out of a drunkenly bruised ego than anything else .  ❝ have you ever had a french girl as pretty as meee ? ❞ she challenged , too tipsy to realize the odds weren’t in her favor , but also too tipsy to care about it .  ❝ i think i’m the prettiest . ❞ she added in a murmur , grin on her lips as she beckoned the male closer .

                ❝ because of lil ol’ me ?? ❞ catalina asked with a gasp . she knew charming guys were the ones you had to look out for , those were the ones who knew exactly what to say to get the one thing they were after , thing was , cata was after the same thing when it came to jackson . she wouldn’t deny she was lured by his careless nature , but she wouldn’t be one to use his compliments to keep her warm during cold nights , it didn’t mean she wouldn’t soak on them when he handed them , or even seek them .   

                ❝ jack jack jack jack ... ❞ cata hummed amused , walking into his living room to drop herself on one of the couches .  ❝ oh ! jack , like the titanic . ❞ she said as if only discovering gravety ,  ❝ jack , can you draw me like one of your french girls ? ❞ she giggled , propping herself up with her elbow , looking at him .

               a triumphant smile takes over her intoxicated features , as if managing to get the male to open the door at all was a feat she had conquered graciously at all . she leaned towards him , until her lips were just a breath away from his , a small pout taking over at the last second . ❝ i’m bored . ❞ she breathed , pulling away shakily , the extra alcohol in her blood not doing much to preserve her balace at all . ❝ aren’t you bored ? ❞ she wondered , raising a brow only seconds later .  ❝ do you have someone here ?? ❞ she questioned , her voice coated with genuine curiosity . she wasn’t naive enough to feel jealousy .
