“Well, I never thought I’d see you again.” Orion stood and straightened out his jacket. He raised a brow. She looked different than the last time he had seen her, even though it had only been a few months ago. Belize had been good to the both of them. Of course they had spent their days in a hotel room surrounded by soft silk sheets rather than site seeing like most of the people vacationing on the beach. They spent their days making love and soaking up the sun on the balcony outside his room, they spent their evenings dining at the best Belize had to offer, and their nights were back in his hotel room, their bodies tangled together as they slept. Intimate was an understatement, yet now he stood across from her like she was a complete stranger. She was, he realized, since he knew little about her, and she knew very little about him. “This ought to be fun.”

“The same could be said for you.” Sydney pursed her lips together, letting her eyes wander up and down the taller male’s figure, a soft blush settling on the apples of her cheeks. She hadn’t seen Orion since the summer and he looked even better in a three piece than a bathing suit, something Sydney didn’t think could be possible. ‘Of course this is happening to me,’ she thought, fighting back a smirk. Her father had just cut her funds off, so she desperately needed a decent job to keep up with her lifestyle. While being an assistant wasn’t the most glamorous job, it certainly beat cleaning the oil vats at a McDonald’s. “Right, well, I certainly am looking forward to working under you.” 

┈  ❝ if for a second you think I’m going to waste my time with a child, then you’re wrong ❞ keanu was a professor, certainly he had fooled around with the other a couple of times on his desk but that was about it. “now, move.” he spoke without any emotion, he looked down at the other who was currently blocking the doorway to the exit. “move or i’ll move you” he leaned down as his nose lightly pressed onto theirs. Keanu felt some sort of guilt looking down at their face, “what did i tell you? i told you not to feel anything else for me!” he shouted out in frustration knowing that he was falling for the other too, “we can’t be doing this.” 

syd leaned against the door frame, tilting her head to the side. the girl stayed quiet, chewing on her lower lip as keanu spoke, trying not to show too much emotion. “so move me then,” she finally spoke up, clenching her teeth. her heart dropped when he moved in closer, it was torture not being able to grab him and just kiss him. “you tell me a lot of things, when was the last time you ever remember me listening?” her facial expression dropped and she let out a soft sigh, letting her gaze fall to the floor. “so what.. this just ends here?” 

Cole looked out the window, watching the sun rise. They had been staying in that motel for about a week. It was time to move on. If they were being followed, they needed to keep moving. He didn’t want to wake the other, no. He would let them sleep for now. Then in the morning they could make plans for their next move together. 

Sydney blinked her eyes slowly and sat up, feeling the empty space in the bed next to her, she leaned her head against the head board and smiled, at the man sitting by the windowsill, her smile melted back down to a blank expression as she remembered the situation they had gotten themselves into. “Come back to bed, it’s so early.” 

Isaac had the crying man on gun point; it was hilarious to him when he’d come face to face with such cowards who liked to make themselves look untouchable and tough but as soon as they were facing the barrel of a gun, they’d pee their pants – literally. “I can’t even believe you slept with this douche bag; thought such a pretty girl like you would have a better taste.”he pressed his gun against the mans forehead who trembled, begging him not to do it. “Will you stop whining like a bitch? I’m getting real annoyed, and might have to put a bullet in you before your ex girlfriend breaks your legs. Maybe your nuts, too. – Should have thought better before you blackmailed her, buddy, you’re a real dumb dumb.”Isaac sighed, tapping the gun against his forehead once before taking a step back. “Now give me the tape, and you might live to see another day. Can’t make promises, the lady is in charge.”he said, and glanced over at her.

For the first time in what felt like her entire life, Sydney was sober. Watching the scum bag who had broken her heart and now was trying to blackmail her kneeling in a puddle of his own piss on the floor was enough of a drug for her now. The girl pursed her lips together, trying to suppress the smirk that was tugging on the corner of her mouth, “Me either, tequila had me convinced he was a better man.” She let out a playful chuckle, not once moving her gaze from the pig on the floor in front of her. Syd didn’t know she could feel this powerful, her tiny body was radiating with strength and control, she wasn’t even the one holding the gun. This was the first time her father’s money ever brought something of value to her. The woman quickly shook her head, flashing Isaac a pleading gaze, “Don’t give him false hope he doesn’t deserve it. He won’t see the sun again.” 

“You’re making this so hard. Let me say goodbye.” Colette looked down at the other’s lips, breathing slowly as they leaned forward. 

Colette was startled awake by a banging sound coming from downstairs. The woman slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes as she turned her head to Iook at her alarm clock, noticing the time she let out an exasperated sigh, “It’s 3am,” she whined. The girl rubbed her eyes before getting out of bed and searching for her emergency baseball bat underneath the bed. Once she found it, Colette slowly walking down the stairs towards her front door. “Hello?” She called out before looking through the peep hole. As soon as the woman recognized the person standing on her doorstep, she wasted no time dropping the bat and opening the door to pull him inside. Colette wrapped him up in a hug, careful not to squeeze him too tightly, considering she didn’t know what injuries he could have had. “I hope the other guy looks worse.”She teased, trying to make light of the situation. “I only know basic first aid, so if you have any broken bones I might have to take you to a hospital or something, but come sit down.”  The female parted away from the embrace and held out her hand to him, looking at his face with a worried expression.

    julius’s head shifts upwards, hearing footsteps and a heartbeat before the door of his store is even opened. but, when he notices that it’s the other, his eyebrows narrow before he’s quickly appearing by the door, turning the lock on it and moving the sign to ‘closed.’ “what the fuck are you doing here?” jules questions, double checking to make sure nobody is around. “told you that you can’t come here, even during the day.”

     fleur walked quickly with her head down, taking in a slow breath before stepping inside the store. she held onto her breath for a moment, flinching as jules approached her. her ears were too distracted by her own heartbeat to pay attention to his footsteps towards her. after taking an other slow breath, like it was about to be her last, she spoke, “that’s why i’m here. maybe this isn’t a good idea. i don’t know if we should do this anymore.” 

His whole life, Anderson knew exactly what his life was. He was in a motorcycle gang, and he was a drug runner. Nothing more, nothing less. No one in the gang ever got caught, and with his father as the leader, he’d always thought he was safe. He’d thought about going home, thought about seeing his sister, thought about asking his father why he let him go down. He knew how many favors he had to cash in, but yet he’d been left in jail, and now was a convicted felon. So he didn’t go home, instead he’d walked to them. To the one person he’d loved his whole life, someone he hadn’t spoken to in years he was in prison, but when he knocked on the door and was met with a toddler, he was floored. With his dark hair and blue eyes, it was clear who the child belonged too, and he stumbled backwards a little. How was this possible? “Hello, I um.. Is your Mom home?” He asked, looking past the child, into the home as his ex came to the door. “Hey..”

For the first time in her life, Fleur had been forced to stay still. The girl was constantly traveling or running away, but she had finally found someone who would force her to stay put. She’d been stuck with her little bundle for several years now and had just finally gotten used to the fact that her life was different now. She had grown accustomed to the fact that she didn’t attract the highest quality of people when it came to social placement, but she hadn’t expected for everything to crash and burn so quickly. She shook her head of the thoughts of what life used to be like as she noticed her daughter scurrying towards the door, “Daisy come back here!” Fleur playfully ran after the small girl, immediately stopping in her tracks as she saw Anderson at her front door. Her voice was quiet and unsteady, “How? What are you doing here?”
