"see? this is not that hard, right? now you have your own cute little mug that's one of a kind!" / @hotgums liked the starter call <3

                           ❛ and i'm not the bad guy here, alright? — you can't shoot me down then be shocked when i bring someone else. ❜

                           ❛ you know what — i'm done talking about this. take me home, now. ❜

“i  don’t  know  who  the  hell  you  think  you  are.”  her  heart  raced  with  growing  anxiety,  the  change  of  energy  in  the  room  putting  chase  on  edge.  slender  fingers  swept  through  her  blonde  hair.  “and  i  don’t  appreciate  you  charming  my  assistant  and  barging  into  my  office.  i  have  a  full  schedule  today.”   ! @hotgums

toby sat at the kitchen island, hunched over his laptop, lost in his work, when his roommate’s voice cut in and popped the bubble he was buried in. he let them complain for a while before muttering, ❝ you’re such a brat. ❞

before they had even began to negotiate the terms of their prenup, ari's soon-to-be wife had but one request of him: don't embarrass me. ten years in, and he hadn't exactly stuck true to his promise. his indiscretions were numerous, as were hers, but luckily he'd yet to land them in a substantial scandal they couldn't talk their way out of. their tenth anniversary called for a celebration in the form of a lavish vacation at a beachside resort of her choosing, plenty of picturesque backdrops for her to prop him up in to show the world that they were indeed the ideal power couple they pretended to be, and plenty of cute cabana boys for her to ogle while ari was off seeking something more complex. his hunt began at the bar, conspicuously eyeing the women in the vicinity from behind dark tinted sunglasses as he awaited his tequila soda. sitting at the end of the bar was a blonde with doll-like features and luminous skin, looking equal parts inviting and mysterious sat all alone nursing the last sips of her cocktail. having received his drink, ari requested for the bartender to refresh her drink and put it on his tab, waiting until her new drink had been set before her until he caught her eye and gave her a slight nod and a wave, inviting her over should she be interested in company.

“you’re early.” standing in the entryway of her condo she eyes them with an air of amusement. rollers still wrapped in her thick black tresses lauren hadn’t even managed to get into her dress for the evening. body still comfortable in her favorite soft pink robe. “when i told you being late was a pet peeve i didn’t mean show up thirty minutes before.” technically they were only fifteen minutes early but she felt like bending the truth for dramatics. eyes falling from theirs to the bouquet of flowers a smile tugs at the corners of her mouth. “those for me?”
