The moment I said it....

me: alright cool i can reply now

Yeah, I mean, it’s not that I’m unhappy. I just feel like I need a fresh start. I’m sure I’d keep some of my threads still going and take ships over there because I couldn’t just drop them. But I think it needs to be done. It’s just soooo much work, lol

It was an impossible situation that Tony felt like they were stuck in. The moment their parents had come back and announced they eloped, Tony immediately regretted not making a move earlier. But he’d always been slow to move when it came to relationships. And now, it just all felt too late. He wasn’t even sure before if Mike had feelings for him. He clearly had, otherwise this wouldn’t be exploding like it was right now. Rolling his eyes at Mike’s first comment, he took a deep breath, feeling like he was going to burst with jealousy and anger at how flippant Mike was being about this dude he had over. It was one thing for him to have another guy in the house and it was another to make comments like he did that seemed very passive aggressive. As Mike raised his voice, snapping at him, Tony just stood there and took it, watching him start to make his way to the door before he rushed over and put his hand on the door to keep him from opening it. “Just stop, okay? I know this is fucking hard. Believe me. And I’m sorry I’m being such a dick, but I just...I don’t know what the hell to do because I still want you...So badly,” He glanced down at the floor, because he couldn’t even look at Mike right now. If he did, he would be too tempted to do something that he knew was wrong. “We just can’t.”

Hearing the little scoff coming from Wes, Elle quickly glanced over her shoulder to just barely catch him looking at her. She couldn’t help but wonder what he was thinking and if it involved the sorts of things he would want to do with her if Wes would just give in. Maybe she was naive and really had no idea what can of worms she might be toying with. But Elle was sure she wanted this and being a little spoiled and doted upon by her father all of her life, she usually got what she wanted. “That’s  There was a bad boy feeling she got from Wes that only made her want him more. If she wanted some nice guy who wouldn’t really know what he was doing to take her virginity, that would have been easy to find. Elle could tell though (or she assumed) he had plenty of experience and she wanted her first time to be good, even if she was sure it would be painful like most of her friends warned her about. Plus, there was the whole little forbidden side of it, knowing that it’d have to be kept a secret. “Alright,” She finally nodded, looking at him with a playful smile as she bent back over to finish wiping down the table. For a few minutes she stayed there, cleaning off every table until all of them were done. And she probably could have started on putting the chairs up on the tables and mopping the floor, but instead, she decided to go see if she could tempt him a little more and headed into the back room where he was checking stock. “Hey, can I ask you something?” She asked, leaning against the doorframe of the supply room, a smirk on her lips like she had a plan forming in her mind.
