DARCY: and me

      her nerves are more of a factor than she has thought to anticipate, fingers delicately shaking as she knocks on jace’s door. while he’s expecting her arrival, the third party she’s involved is not something he’ll likely be prepared for. offering him the usual grin as soon as he opens the door, bailey is restrained from accompanying it with a hug by the figure beside her. ‘ hey jace, ’  she greets. ‘ i’d like to introduce you to michael. my boyfriend. ’

      ‘ you wouldn’t do it, james, you’re too much of a fucking twat. ’ lucas ignores the repeated jibes he’s getting, the heckles thrown at him from his friends, & cards his fingers through his hair. ‘ i’ll take the bet. i can do it. i can make a girl fall in love with me in TEN days - just show me the girl. ’ he finds himself incredibly lucky that the girl they’ve chosen is undeniably gorgeous. it sets his nerves on edge a touch, & he bristles before heading over to her. ‘ hi. i’m lucas. can i buy you a drink ? ’

      his head is POUNDING. a groan is the first noise that slips through his lips as the sunlight drags him out of his stupor. ‘ fuck. ’ the bed beneath him is unfamiliar, but the colour of the sheets is demoted to the least of his worries as he notices the figure beside him. scarlett. the sudden movement provoked by his surprise drags a wince out & he s t a g g e r s away, into the bathroom. his reflection is bordering ghastly, dark circles beneath his eyes, but his attention is soon diverted to the ring on his finger. ‘ the FUCK. ’

LUKE: you know what’s great ? LUKE: boobs. LUKE: specifically yours. LUKE: remind me what they look like real quick ?

SOFIA: you know. SOFIA: really don’t appreciate being ignored for so long. SOFIA: i have a short attention span. SOFIA: i could easily move on !

JAMIE: just ran into this piece who says she knows you JAMIE: tbh my only question is like ... wyd JAMIE: not to be salty but i thought you had standards :-/

     ‘ one of these days, you’re going to stop BUGGING me whilst i’m busy. this is going to pay for your christmas present, so shh. ’
