Say My Name.

Manny stepped closer to the other, her eyes narrowing as the conversation went on, trying her best not to flip out. ““Why not? You promised me a million times that you could be. That you change. Why was all of that more important to you than I was? I tried because I thought maybe you’d turn out to be different. But I was wrong. and every time I thought maybe it could work.” She spoke, starterting to feel her emotions get the best of her, he really did have a way of riling her up. “I only do those things because of you. Because I can’t let another person in just to be let down again. I didn’t make that choice. You did it for me. And you easily moving on to the next best thing just proves to me how little I meant to you. “ She huffed, shoving her mail in her purse as she began to lose balance. “And you think I didn’t love you? You think I cried myself to sleep every night that you didn’t come home because I didn’t care? It was too damn hard! So, go on and throw your pity party about me succeeding without you because believe it not I wanted you by my side when I landed my first movie role. I loved you more than anything, you idiot,” The brunette took a long breath.

Manny could tell she was getting under the other’s skin, feeling a bit of satisfaction from it. If they couldn’t be together, at least they had this banter. ““That used to be what you liked about me. Being unbelievable. Or blunt. I guess that’s not the case when it’s directed at you, right?” she smirked. Of course she still loved him, that much was clear. Being together wasn’t an option though. She had to push that out of her mind. Her blood could help but rise in temperature at the mention of another girl. He loved her, but was able to move on. What was love anymore? She wasn’t sure anymore. ““You didn’t? Good for you. But, I thought I was the only exception? Or is that what you say to all your conquests.” She raised an eyebrow, heels digging into the floor.

She smirked at his words, “Dont sound sure of that baby,” She spoke with a chuckle, taking a look around the car as he drove. “So how much horse power this baby got? Im sure the engine is a fucking beaut,” She spoke, turning to him with a brow raise, using her small folder of car facts on him, knowing it was a turn on for most men. Chuckling as they parked in the lot two seconds from her own, “Definitely compensating,” She joked again, pretending to think for a moment, “All three sounds very lovely, the last option seems mighty fine, but a blunt will forever be the love of my life,”

Bella has just finished lacing up her combat boot when her phone made a distict ping noise. Glancing over and seeing Jays name she couldnt help the barely there smile that tried to tug at her lips. He had gotten under her skin at the bar, in a good way, but under it none the less. While she knew exactly what he wanted, she knew herself better. She loved the game, the teasing, the wanting, more than the actions. Reveling in the fact she had his full attention in their first meeting, and reveling that she had it now as she pushed the front entrance open. Immediately spotting Jay in the drivers seat of his car, a simple impressed nod falling from her shoulders as she approached the car, swinging the passengers side door open, sliding into the seat and turning to Jay with a smirk, “Compensating for something?”

( tw: drug mention )

Manny couldn’t help, but form a smirk when she could tell her ex was so raddled to see her going out. Serves him right. If he was able to go out partying, ultimately ended there relationship, then so did she. It wasn’t like relationships lasted anymore. Her hook-ups were the only way to keep him off her mind. It hadn’t exactly been easy for her either. But she wouldn’t dare tell him that. “Why not? You could do it. Being with me didn’t make you wanna stop. Thought I’d try out and see what the hype was all about.” Her eyebrow raised as her voice slowly began to raise volume. All of her emotions started rushing back like a tidalwave. she scoffed, nodding as her eyes rolled, trying not to expose the hurt she held inside. “Same old Jay. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. You always were a ladies man.”

Manny walked into the apartment building in her mini skirt and pink crop top. Her hair was perfectly curled and pulled back into a tight ponytail. She was returning home from a night out, feeling nothing but happy vibes. Since her break-up with Jay, going out seemed to be a nightly routine for the girl. A part of her still missed having the guy around, though that’s something that she would never admit to out loud. The brunette walked confidently to her little mailbox in the building, hips swaying back and forth as she opened hers and began to rummage through the piles and piles of mail that she had. Being a struggling actress was hard, but it was something that she wouldn’t give up for the world. As she shut the little window, she bumped dead on with no other than Jay Hogart himself. She rolled her eyes back at him, high heel stabbing into the ground as she made eye contact with the other. “Not that it’s any of you business. I was out.” She pursed her lips.
