once royalty, always royalty♔

It was the first time he’d seen or spoken to Paige Carmichael in months, and “‘sup” was the best he could come up with. Typical Heath. He cocked his head to the side, a low whistle escaping his lips as he found words. “Long time no see, stranger,” he said slowly, reaching into his pocket to grab a smoke. Nicotine had become more frequent in his life lately. Heath didn’t move from his spot — he didn’t dare to — as he continued to hold eye contact with the blonde, a funny little half-smile appearing on his face.

Somehow, after all this time, Heath still had the affect that he's always held over her head on her. His voice was much more comforting --- like home-- than annoying like it was upon first meeting. Paige thought that if she just got away from both Manhattan and Heath that she could clear her head and think like a normal Carmichael again but seeing him for the first time in ages, everything came rushing back; hitting her like a brick. "You can say that," she replied, finally breaking the eye contact, somewhat looking down. "You're looking good, though, -- for a guy living the frat life and all."

Paige hated running late, especially when she had important business to attend to. The line for the outside coffee kiosk was extremely long and running her patient thin. Her eyes studied the male who had just spoke, realizing that it was the one and only, love monkey; Heath Weston. "Heath," she said with glazed eyes, turning more towards him. It had been awhile since the two have saw each other --- she'd expect a better reaction than that but.. it is Heath.

Because you dropped your cell phone back there and I’m trying to be a nice person and give it back to you.

Aren't you just a doll.

Maybe because I just said ‘walk with me because I have an extra frap and our classes are right next to each other’? Yeah, that’s why.

You're lucky. --- Did you get it from Zaders or Ground Central?

   ”Lucky me. I wasn’t aware that asking someone how they were, was babbling.”

"I'm peachy keen."

Those who think they can't love, love the hardest.
