Everything I like about me is... YOU

She stumbled as her heart raced, steadying herself looking around to find a way to run, hide, but it was a open clearing and there was nowhere to hide, not before his eyes fell on her anyway. Words failed her, and she only stared at him with a panic she hadn't felt in ages, her heart thumping so loud, she could barely hear anything else. Her mouth opened but she wasn't able to speak, and she shut it staring at the red haired male with wide eyes. With everything she had heard, about him being mated to Elain Archeron, she was bracing herself to get the broken pieces of her heart crushed further if he insisted on talking to her. @tofeelthecold

That bastard.

Huffing, she pocketed her phone, got her keys and drove straight to his apartment. Unlike last time she wasn't going to be patient, or even tried to pretend. It wasn't long after that she stood before his door, pretty much kicking at the door rather than knocking. "Eli, you in there?" she called, louder than necessary, huffing as she waited for a reply. @lewistan

The party had so many people there that Izzy had thought about leaving before she even entered. But when she did she couldn’t help the anger she felt, albeit unjustified anger, at the sight of Connor with Ella. She had no right to feel how she did, that Ella needed to stay away. So before she could think it through she was there, he’d left to get drinks, at least that’s what she assumed he’d done, and it was the perfect opportunity. She’d walked up to Ella and used her powers to make her leave because she didn’t want her anywhere near Connor. Not that it was her place but she still had feelings for him, even after all these times. When he returned she looked at him and shook her head. “Nothing, She needed to go home and wanted me to pass on a the message.”

Connor merely narrowed his eyes at her explanation. To him it had looked rather odd how Ella simply seemed to leave without a goodbye. “Um no, I was watching you both and I’m pretty sure you were doing much of the talking, Iz.” he pointed out even though he wasn’t sure what Isobel could have possibly said to make that happen. Or even why. He turned around again to see that Ella had left, sighing before he turned back to her still looking at her suspiciously before he handed her one of the drinks which he had brought. “Since my date is gone.” he muttered with a slight roll of his eyes. 

Still dressed in sweatpants and an oversized sweater, since Jamie hadn’t planned on getting out of the house today, she suddenly felt very conscious of what she was wearing as Stefan was standing in front of her. Her gaze was settled on the man in front of her and she wasn’t sure that he knew what he was doing here exactly as well. She stepped aside so the man could enter her apartment, closing the door behind him once he was inside. The woman turned around so she could watch Stefan once more. “Do you want something to drink?” She asked, her body was filled with nerves suddenly since he said that he had something to talk about with her and that for sure didn’t sound good.

He stepped into her place when she let him in, still unsure how to ask what he wanted to. Which wasn’t surprising considering he was not sure what he wanted to say himself. “No, I’m okay.” he responded as the other offered a drink, letting his fingers run through his hair before his gaze settled on her. “This is probably none of my business.. I mean, it most definitely isn't..” he started before he stuffed his hands in his pockets trying to find the right words. He however, soon realized that whatever way he put this, it was going to come out badly. “It’s just, I saw you with -- and I can’t stop thinking about -- well, my point here is, are you with Mason now?” 

Reese’s bright picture perfect smile turned into one of pure shock when Coal slid up next to him. He was sure after their last encounter that would be the last he saw of him. Boy was he wrong. “Uh, yeah…a very long time.” He awkwardly replied, smile dropping into an expression of utter confusion once the impromptu photo-op was over. “W-What are you doing here?”

“Well, my siblings live here.” he said quickly, having had planned to use this as an excuse when the other asked him as he knew he would. Like hell he was going to admit he was partially there in town for Reese too. He just hoped the other didn’t call his bluff, Coal wasn’t all that excellent at hiding his thoughts, and it was even harder to do so with Reese. “But you’re here too, so isn’t that great? We should absolutely catch up.” @glittcr​ 

There were certain days that Beatrice dedicated solely to herself– days which she spent sprawled out on her couch or curled up under a soft blanket, wearing the most comfortable and unflattering sweatpants, her usually pristine hair in a messy top knot, the glasses that she despised needing perched on the end of her nose as she watched trashy television with an open bag of whatever junk food she craved every other day. That was how she sat then, dark circles going uncovered as she watched the tv, the knock on her door startling her. Her friends knew better than to bother her so as she stood, she was already considering the verbal lashing she meant to deliver as she wrenched the door open.

“Harriet?”

“Hey Bea.” An uncertain smile was on her lips when she looked at her sister who she hadn’t seen in years. Not in person atleast, she hadn’t been able to stop herself from sometimes looking at what she posted on social media, that being the only way she could feel like she existed. Because with time passing memories seemed to feel more vague every time. “I.. you were trying to find me.” she mumbled, unsure what to be telling her. “So I.. came, to see you.” @tveitxwrites​

Beck crossed his arms tightly over his chest, “Don’t be ridiculous,” he replied irritably. He was sure that Shreya’s skill in business was perfectly fine, after all, he had been hearing great things about Holi Tandoori. “You can’t possibly have every table booked every day! There must be some cancellation or wiggle room to fit me in,” his arms dropped as he gestured, his frustration apparent. “I’m the father of your child. Surely that should be reason enough.”

His irritation only made her elated but she refused to show it, instead simply looking at him with a raised brow. “What can I say, nobody wants to cancel. I can fit you in around March.” She couldn’t help but smirk as she spoke despite her attempt to look serious. “Father of my child?” she laughed. “Well congrats for knocking me up, Beck, but that reason doesn’t cut it.” she said starting to feel even more amused at how she was able to easily get under his skin. @tveitxwrites​
