“ THOUGHT YOU’D LIKE THEM. they had a certain… pedestrian charm that reminded me of you. ” words meant as a dig towards the younger woman, merely to spite her. though they haven’t seen each other in a while, years of this dynamic were like riding a bike ————— you could never unlearn it. he’s not here to meet her, but their paths cross so often that he thinks a higher power is just torturing both of them, akin to a boy with a magnifying glass in front of an anthill. “ your last reunion? ” charles furrows his eyebrows. “ that’s funny. i thought you didn’t have many friends to have a reunion with, but i’m sure you could buy some… offering the right amount. ”

briceyda was new to her job as receptionist but already she’d taken a liking to one — or two , of her fellow employee’s . xavier was her bosses son and if she knew what was good for her , she wouldn’t be playing along and encouraging his advances ; but she didn’t and she was . ‘ hi yourself . ‘ the female grins as she sees the other approach her desk , her attention immediately focusing on the male and not the report she was in the middle of doing . ‘ dinner hm ? ‘ she questions with a tease to her tone , tapping the pen she held between her index and middle finger on her desk as if she was pondering it over . ‘ if i say yes , it’ll be our little secret right ? ‘ briceyda was good at keeping secrets . if only he knew what those were he might see her in a completely different light .

“ THAT’S HOT. ” dylan bites her lower lip to tease the woman, breaking out in laughter soon after. she’s done herself the courtesy of making another martini for her enjoyment. the mechanic downs half of the glass in just one sip, but that’s just normal behavior around elle. they need the break and she’s not worried the other is going to judge her manners. “ i was just being respectful, alright. since you don’t want respectful ———— i’m just gonna be scandalous, instead. ” dylan offers, sly grin on her lips. “ you’re welcome. anything i can do to help you relax… you’re so overworked all the time. perhaps you should come work in the shop with me. ”

AH  ,   BENJAMIN   IGNACIO   …   the  only   opponent   deemed  ‘  equal  ‘  .   at  least  in  her  humble  opinion  .  a  day  spent  countering  every  argument  with  a  cluck  of  her  tongue  and  a  flip  of  flaming  locks  .  it  was  exhausting  dancing  around  in  circles  all  day  but  with  him  ?  it  was  all  merely  a  game  .  one  she  intended  on  winning  .  deep  timbre  draws  her  away  from  the  group  of  colleagues  surrounding  her  ,  gushing  over  her  long  awaited  return  .   but  his  kind  sentiments  are  the  only  ones  she  cared  to  hear .  before  she  can  bother  mustering  a response    —    boyfriend  ?  macie  doesn’t  have  a  boyfriend  .  teeth  grit  and  narrowed  slits  land  on  the  loud  -  mouthed  culprit  ,  silencing  them  instantly  whilst  brain  scrambles  to  conjure  a  believable  lie  (  to  cover  up  previous  fabrications  of  her  love  life  )  .  “  not  that  it's  any  of  your  concern  but  we  broke  up .  “  squirming  beneath  the  weight  of  his  speculating  stare  and  that  DAMNED  smirk  ,  she  busies  herself  by  gathering  her  papers  . “  oh  ,  bennie  ,  “  nickname  slithers  off  her  tongue  with  a  ring  of mischief  dripping  like  honey  from  supple  lips  ,  “  you  only  missed  me  because  there’s  nobody  here  with  wits  like  mine  and  an  ass  to  match  .  “  though  words  portray  no  affection  ,  the  fond  smile  displayed  once  she  turns  around  is  enough  to  silence  any  doubts   —   of  course  she  missed  him  ,  who  else  was  she  supposed  to  eye  fuck  across  the  court room  while  simultaneously   wanting  to  rip  him  to  shreds  ?  yes she  enjoyed  playing  cat  and  mouse   …   but  only  if  she  was  the  cat  .  “  i  just  need  to  make  one  thing  CRYSTAL  CLEAR  ,  ignacio  …   i  don’t  mix  business  with  pleasure  .  so  just  because  there’s  no  boyfriend  in  the  picture  ,  doesn’t   mean  anything  .  understood  ?  “

“ I LIKE THAT LAST DOCTOR. ” nic sighs dreamily, laying back on the hood of the car. it’s about that hour of the evening where it starts to dawn, and everything turns to a blueish sort of color ———— and nic loves that. “ it is, really. ” the boy pats the spot next to him, so stella can join. “ fine. looks-wise… you’re outta my fuckin’ league. ” he shrugs his shoulders slightly, holding her palm over his lips. “ i don’t want no one else… i’m not even lookin’. ”

HOODED EYES SEEK THE ORIGIN OF HER VOICE. shit ——————– it was really hard to just do his own thing while helene kept popping in and out of his house. jasper doesn’t know how she always get the keys, no matter how many times he replaces the locks, she just does. perhaps it’s for the better, since one of these days he might not be in a condition to ask for help. “ who says i have problems? ” he scoffs, putting out the joint resting between his index and middle fingers. “ it’s not like i go around snooping your shit and telling you what you’re doing wrong. show some fucking common courtesy. ”

IT’S ALWAYS BEEN A THING BETWEEN THEM. it’s unspoken, but oliver feels the way his boyfriend tenses up whenever someone’s been staring for more than a few seconds, josh ducks his head, tries to pretend like it’s not a big deal ————– but it hurts him. to oli, it’s water under the bridge by now. he’s used to the name calling, the threats, the feeling of oddity and by now, he doesn’t care. and he wishes it didn’t hurt josh as much as it does. “ i’m fine. ” oliver squeezes the boy’s hand reassuringly. “ pretty used to assholes by now. what i really want to know… ” oli turns, raising his eyebrows. “ is if you brought enough snacks. ‘cause as god is my witness, i’ll never be hungry again. ”
