cora was grateful when she saw the girl come her way, thankful that she heard her, and thankful that she didn’t just ignore her. ❝ bless you, maya. ❞ the girl praised and began snapping more photos as amaya set herself up for the photos. ❝ please, with your looks, i’m surprise people have’t tried scouting you already. ❞ she complimented. ❝ you’re doing great! can you do another pose? ❞ cora asked and took more photos, adjusting her camera from vertical to horizontal every now and then. ❝ okay, that’s it! thanks! ❞ she thanked and walked up to amaya so she could view the photos.  cora was very pleased with amaya’s modeling. usually whenever she’d ask someone to pose for her, they’d be really tense and you could see it in the photos, but with amaya, she was more natural. her calm and serenity reflected onto the pictures, which made cora smile at the end results. ❝ you did great, thanks for modeling for me, really. ❞ cora said again as she clicked through the photos. ❝ it’s okay if i post these on the website right? i can show you the small lightening touch ups before i post them so you’re okay with them if you’d like? ❞ 

there was an amused smile on his face as he listened to her questions. “ i’ll recount the story to you later, cor. it’d be a real shame to force all these lovely people to listen to someone ALL over again. ” the amused smile turned into a sly grin. “ maybe somewhere private ? ”

❝ but later i won’t be interested in the story anymore, dalt. it’d be a shame to force them all to listen to it again, but if its a good story, then i don’t think they’d mind? ❞ cora questioned, turning her attention away from the boy for a second to look over the crowd around them. ❝ somewhere private? i can’t right now, i’m still on my shift and i’m only here because i’m taking picture to capture cruise life. ❞

❝ oh, well, i guess i’m not most people because i know my stuff because you get to tell me. ET could be what some aliens look like. 8 planets in our solar system and probably billions more, who says that all living life forms look the same as the next? years of research, huh? when did you get invested into this type of thing? exactly! we know more about outer space than we do about sea exploration. there are depths of the ocean that are still unmarked or visited by a human. mermaids are real until proven otherwise, i don’t care what anyone else says. when you meet them, how do you know they’ll be high tech? what if they’re simple with their technology, but the functions are used differently? that really depends. which answer will get you to tell me the signs? what if you’re an alien and you’re experimenting on us mindless humans? ❞

cora: JANITOR MARVIN OH MY GO D

cora: NO WAY OMFG

cora:.... yet... hmmm

naveed: now you're just being dramatic.

naveed: you know i would like to think you knew more and that you know me better than letting my feelings interrupt my thoughts. you know that there's nothing there so why are you pushing for something to be there? why are you bringing up the past? because if you wanna bring up the past, let's fucking bring up the past. so fucking SUE me for wanting to see what he has in store, did i ever once bother you when it was you and bentley? bentley and cora this, me and bentley did this, we went here, fuck yes i got jealous about every fucking picture you sent of her and yourself doing things we shoulda been doing. i was devastated when you moved away, because if you didn't move than i don't think me and him would have been as close. i don't think i would have fallen for him but guess what? life did happen ,it happened okay? he was there, he's my /best/ friend. wait no, was best friend and he's trying and i shouldn't do something about it? for the love of god, he calls himself logan barrel -- you think his dad would give a slight fuck to do that to? his dad can rot in hell for all i care.

naveed: you know what? fuck you, fuck you for even thinking i'd fuck him at any given chance just because we're going to a fucking amusement park. fuck you cora, i did not suffer for those years to throw in the towel like that. okay so what? maybe you're mistaking that for something else. hearing his name hurts, yes because he /left/ me and didn't bother coming back.

naveed: fuck you and my sisters for not trusting me enough. nearly 18 years of friendship and you want to have little faith in me all of a sudden because of a shady boy? lmao are you really just going to second guess your own best friend like that? you're going to take jabs at me like a petty bitch and break my heart like that? you're going to bring up my past feelings like that? i see 18 years has paid off well!!

naveed: if you just TELL someone cora it'll be okay! you can't expect her to know, that's not okay?

naveed: you know what, fuck that i don't wanna hang out with someone who just wants to take the lowest blows at me. fucking enjoy yourself in milan. i'm done.

cora: call me dramatic right now and i'll show you what real dramatic is

cora: because i know you well enough to know that theres not nothing there? you can deny those feelings all you want but i see it in the way you act and the way your eyes change the way they do when you lost & got back with aurora and honestly stop bullshitting yourself. i moved to vermont and i could only fly to you or you fly to me so many times? you know i wouldve dead ass dropped everything to move in with you guys to get away from my family and be with my real one, but i had to be with ivan! im sorry you got jealous, but i rarely every picked bentley over you and when i did it was because you didnt have the chance to even be there instead? and dont blame me for the fact that you caught feelings for him. he was your best friend and you should give him a chance, but dont let him walk over you again only to fuck you over in the end. do you remember who cleaned up the mess he caused? who was there while he ruined our family and your heart? remember who your real friends are before you ditch them for some asshole that fucked up in the first place and is just now trying to make up his marks

cora: will you stop bullshitting yourself for the love of fucking enoby dark'ness dementia raven way?? you can still have feelings for someone after they fucked you over. feelings dont just fucking disappear that fucking quick ESPECIALLY when you've fallen them hard enough to break & cry when they did you dirty. you think im mistaking it? are you fucking sure that youre just too afraid to own up to that shit? he left you and he didnt bother coming back, but here he is trying to come back and i know youre happy about it because youre running back so fucking fast. too bad y'all missed new years because damn! bet you wouldve loved to share that kiss

cora: fuck you for not listening to us when we're only trying to fucking protect you? sorry for fucking caring about you and being sketchy about lucifer coming back into your life? 18 years of friendship and im so fucking protective of you and god forbid i overlook some bitch ass thats trying to come back after fucking you way past over hell? me? a petty bitch? like i dont already fucking know that! you legit just reminded me of that bc thats why i act with bentley right? i'm just a petty bitch, but when i'm being a petty bitch with you, then it overrules right? 18 years has paid off SO well! youre right! nothing like 18 years of bullshit, right? isnt that how you feel right now? bet you wished you met logan first now dont you?

cora: no i cant just TELL someone! its not that fucking easy! i shouldnt have to tell her when thats the exact fucking reason why i fucking left and im so fucking angry! best friends should be able to read each other like open books, we shouldnt have to explain everything when its so fucking bluntly obvious if she even knew me! and clearly you dont fucking know me either if you dont understand why im so fucking upset about you picking logan over me!

naveed: IT'S JUST MILAN!

naveed: i'm not throwing in the towel! it's just harmless hanging out at an amusement park where's the harm in that? how do YOU know i'm not planning to push him off the ferris wheel, exactly. you don't. allowing someone to prove themselves doesn't mean im forgiving them. it means im giving them a chance.

naveed: there are no past feelings for him okay, that ship sailed he can go fuck himself. don't think just because there were a few kisses here and there i'm suddenly ready to suck his dick again.

naveed: okay i'm aware his family fucked mine over, i'm not giving my hand in marriage so like can you chill, you're starting to sound like zainab. and yeah you're right, why do you think we're friends hm.

naveed: exactly! you're not willing to tell her, or anyone so what the fuck? what if she doesn't know? you're just gonna sit on your ass and be bitter forever?

naveed: cora for the love of god, there's time for you for another day and another time. it's one day, one. plus, i kind of want to spend milan with aurora too and we have the ship and i can visit you during work, milan isn't the end of it all just chill.

cora: no its not just milan anymore

cora: people are right when they say old feelings never die because thats exactly whats happening. you wont be pushing him off the ferris wheel because you'll be too busy looking in his eyes tryna catch a moment with him. you can forgive someone and give them a chance without giving them the full ride there. or does that not matter when it involves lucian?

cora: you say he can go fuck himself but im sure youd rather be the one there instead. again? hmm, interesting. you say youre over him but i saw the way your eyes dulled down when his name was mentioned or your relationship with another was talked about. dont act like i didnt fucking see it because i did. ive known you long enough to tell your giveaways

cora: damn straight i sounds like zainab bc i wouldnt want to sound like you right now? her & your other sisters are the only ones that see wahts going on bc youre too fucking blind from the potential reunion. should i even say potential? bc im sure hes already back

cora: youre right! no one fucking knows so dont act like you have the slightest clue as to why im so fucking bitter with her! i shouldnt have to fucking tell bentley! she should already fucking know and if she doesnt then fuck that shit i dont need a fucking friend in my life that continuingly hurts me w/o realizing it

naveed:cora dng is literally so ugly are you okay, do we need to go out more , do we needa start going to runway shows again

naveed:what the fuck do you want me to do? sit here and let him be pathetic right in front of me? let him keep begging because it gets annoying oh my god i'm not you i can't sit here and be petty for 100 years like ugh i dont know there's a deeper meaning behind all of this

naveed:it's literally been a day and this is our first outing don't worry, i haven't fully forgiven him and you know that. you know how hurt i was

naveed:okay you're being way too deep about it, it's not even a big deal?? you've literally thrown away possible forgiveness for that girl and none of us know why

naveed:you cant sit there and not wonder what the future holds

naveed:ok not like that's stopped you before?

naveed:lmao okay.

naveed:if you wanna be a bitter bitch about this, do you i guess

cora: DNG is not ugly?? YOURE ugly? idk we can go to more runway shows but youre ditching milan aka hte fashion world for an amusement park so??

cora: im not saying that but you can make him work a lil harder? dont be the one to let in first? what deeper meaning is there? what? your past feelings for him? are you really gonna let that cloud your judgment? his father fucked over your family?

cora: dont act like you havent been petty with him like ive been petty with bentley bc we're both fucking petty when it comes to ex friends lmao dont come for me w that shit when u do the same damn thing

cora: you say you havent forgiven him but you legit just picked him over your best friend? or did he get that title back already?

cora: bentley doesnt deserve my forgivness bc she doesnt even fucking know what she did wrong yet. she knows damn well what she did, but her bitch ass refuses to fucking acknowledge it. nobody knows why because i dont want to tell anyone

cora: i wonder what the future holds but im not gonna sit around & think about it thats such a waste of my time

naveed: you see i was going to say that but i wasn't sure if it was paris or milan. when are you going to ditch dng and go for chanel, a brand i wouldn't care if you spent a thousand on

naveed: okay girl, damn i know. he ain't gettin off the hook that easily. you think i'm just gonna run back into his arms after all those years? i didn't fly 2 vermont for no reason but at the same time there's no shame in wanting to see what he has to offer. he offered to /take/ me out, granted he mistaked it for a date but he's trying and lmao you know i can't be bitter at ex friends like u are with bent

naveed: okay but fuck that when are you gonna quit , you have mee

naveed: yeah ............

cora: paris is cool but mILAN!! FASHION!! MY SHIT!! and DNG is so much better than chanel? have u seen their lines?? and the crowns and their aesthetic?? bc damn i love watching their shows and looking at their new line

cora: idk if youre giving me a raincheck to barf with him after a rollercoaster i'm assuming that you're giving him the easy way in instead of making him work a little harder? im not saying that there is shame, but how long has he been working for this forgivness? since when where you even talking to him? i thought u still had bad blood?

cora: w o w lmao ok

cora: you dont have to be bitter with your ex friends "like i am with bent" but i thought priorities would be real friends and THEN your exes but whatever lmao

cora: fuck your amusement park, but if ur so set on going then ill just go to milan by myself or ask hayden to come with instead

naveed: you remember the last time i came here and you got me in trouble with my dad because you spent way too much

naveed: i bought one thing

naveed: yeah i know it's fucking crazy but he wont shut up about wanting me to forgive him

naveed: we can always fly out to milan together cora it's not big deal lmao

naveed: no ? i can't reschedule it, we're going to an amusement park and that beats spending my own money

cora: ... listen milan is the fashion capital of the world and home to many luxurious brands and its not my fault that i needed something from every piece?? u know dolce & gabbana is my favorite brand naveed u cant blame me for going overboard

cora: ok well if he wants /you/ to forgive /him/ then u should set the rules and not let him decide? make him work for that apology instead of giving in so quick

cora: its not a big deal but i dont know when we'll be able to fly because im still a worker on starline and i have to do company meetings soon to meet with the board about advertising and the website

naveed: sup 2 u too bitch

naveed: milaaan a favorite place of mine but uuh

naveed: i kind of have plans with lucian already , cora

naveed: but raincheck yeah? we can hang out in the next country on ur day off

cora: thats why i'm saying we're going out

cora: its our place

cora: .... u have plans with lucian?

cora: lucifer lucian?

cora: we're going to milan so we're going to quadrilatero d'oro and using ur $$$

cora: we can go the day after we stop there bc it'll be my day off and i'll be free all day
