NOELLE: can you bring me some soup please?

          it takes freddy just a bit longer than ten minutes to escape from his family’s home. he had failed to mention to the other that his parents were having a party-slash-silent auction tonight. it was a brilliant excuse for his father to look like a saint and his mother to show off her new collection of designs to people stupid enough to pay ten times the asking price for them. it’s for charity, his mother had said — as if she really gave a rat’s ass about helping others. freddy, being just as equally charitable, had decided that it would be in everyone’s best interest if he made himself scarce. he refused to be paraded around in front of skin-covered mannequins with glass eyes and botox smiles like some kind of puppet. that’s why he’s making an attempt to scale his bedroom balcony, completely dressed to the nines ( he had to at least look like he was attending, didn’t he ? ) he makes a leap for the tree on his right, wincing when the sleeve of his tuxedo jacket gets snagged by an unforgiving branch. he mourns inwardly for the fabric as a distinct ripping sound fills the air — but he doesn’t have time to dwell on it. the moment his feet hit the ground, he makes a beeline for his car and tears down the winding driveway and off of the estate. it takes him fifteen minutes to arrive at their house and he lays on the horn, not giving a second thought about disturbing the neighbors.

          gemma’s finding it almost impossible to hide the unwavering grin that’s been gracing her lips ever since she first laid eyes on ( and immediately fell in love with, mind you ) the tiny puppy that’s currently bouncing around whilst playfully barking next to her as she’s curled up on the couch. the idea of getting a dog was crossing her mind more and more frequently as of late, so since she had the day off work, it felt like the perfect opportunity to go through with it. just as the puppy’s crawling into her lap to try its hardest to lick her cheek and she’s grinning at it like a love-struck idiot, the door opens almost as if on cue, resulting in her pressing her lips firmly together as she eyes the other in surprise. “ — i didn’t think you’d be home this early. ”

tysm babes !!
