Nobody Wants This - episode 2

JOSHUA BASSETT & ASH ROSE DANIELS — Sad Songs in a Hotel Room (2022), dir. Gus Black & Joshua Bassett

storyline : their moms are best friends, so they grew up together, and while rylan had never seen them that way, seeing them with someone has . . . confused him.

“I don’t know... since, twenty minutes ago?” She said with a shrug of her shoulders, gesturing towards him with her hand. “Since when do I have to ask your permission?”

Cora stumbled forward just a little over her feet when he had pulled her a little closer. “Not the faintest idea what the other reasons could be..” she looked up at the taller male and smiled, thankful that none of their other roommates were home. Cora had yet to tell the others about the two of them. It had been a rule when they all moved in together that nothing happen between any of the four roommates. The female hadn’t thought anything about it, of course she wouldnt sleep with any of them, she hadn’t slept with anyone…. But that didn’t stop her from falling for the man. “Could it be those sweet, sweet kisses of yours..or maybe the way you get my heart beating like it is going to pound out of chest…” she trailed off once more. “Nah.. im just coming back to the top shelves.” She teased.

His eyes scanned her face as she spoke, nodding along as suddenly he thought about the last few weeks. Something was building. Something that wasn’t intentional-- more like unspoken. Quite literally considering he couldn’t talk to his friends about it. They were breaking the rules, but damn-- it was worth it. “Sure, sure, sure,” he said with a roll of his eyes, stepping back for a moment as the sound of footsteps seemed like they were headed in their direction. He pressed his lips together, realizing that the coast was clear. “Should we.. ya know, tell them? I mean.. There’s something to tell, right?”

a dramatic sigh falls from gloss - coated lips as a possessive arm snakes around her frame , pulling her close as the perfect stranger offering to take her home retreats in defeat . chin will rise so eyes can offer them an icy stare , slim hand pressing at their chest to gently push them away . ' is this fun for you ? i liked him . '

Dax could predict the very moment that this douche of a guy was going to be able to convince her to walk out of this building with him and over his d e a d body would be let that happen. He shook his head as he walked over towards the pair, tipping off the guy standing next to her that whatever he had built up in his head was in fact not going to happen tonight. His arm wrapped tightly around her and he tugged her just an inch closer. It didn’t even take him saying anything. Clearly body language was enough, and the new guy sauntered off. “Him? Really?” He said, eyebrows furrowed as he looked down at her. “You have way better taste than that.”

"that's not lame at all ." she assures as she lets out a deep breath she didn't know she was holding in , unable to hide the tint that forms along her cheeks . "it feels really good hearing that ."

Relief floods over him and a quiet sigh escapes his lips. They were falling-- fast, but hey what’s wrong with that, right? “Does this mean that it's confession time? Because I’ve got a few lined up.”

“You know, you do realize that you’re the only one that lives in this house that can reach the top shelves.. which means you’re the one who has to put it up there. Now im starting to think you’re doing it on purpose so i keep you around.”

“Pffffft, please,” he said with a shake of his head, pulling her in just a little bit closer. “Nah,” he said with an exasperated sigh, although a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. “I’m sure there are some other things that you keep me around for.”

"i don’t know how i survived for so long without you."

“Honestly, me either... I mean, how would you ever get something from the top shelf? There’s important stuff up top.”

"you make me feel things that i've never felt before ."

"Is it going to be incredibly lame if I say me too?" He said with an uncontrollable smile spreading across his lips. “Actually I don’t even care.. because it’s just true.”

the pit of kelli's stomach burned, it was a flame that she couldn't seem to put out when she spoke to him. he wasn't wrong, she had wanted him here. he had been the one she would have rather been standing next to. "i-" she paused and let out the softest sigh once more trying to collect herself. "you know you can't be here… no matter what i want."

Dawson did everything he could to keep the deep sigh from escaping his lips, but was unsuccessful as she said exactly what he knew she would. He pressed his lips together tightly to prevent any other exasperated noises that grumbled in his chest. He knew she was right, but this whole situation wasn’t--- right. “What if we... just snuck away... for just a few minutes?”

Kelli tried to think of the right words, “look it is wonderful that you made it and i am so glad to see you..” she finally looked up at them, “but I didn’t invite you.”

“I figured that my invite had just been lost,” he said with almost as much enthusiasm as she had used in her own last word. “I knew you wanted me here.. even if you didn’t.”
