Come On Skinny Love

Okay, so he didn’t really have an explanation for why that girl had been sending him those, lord knows not responding didn’t send a message. But he was a little more taken aback than anything that Raine hadn’t taken the time to really look. “Raine…” He flipped open the conversation again, showing her. “I never read these. You’re the one who opened the message. I never respond to her…” Stepping closer to her, he shook his head. “I just know that when I want someone in bed with me… that’s you. And when I want someone to do mindless shit with me, well… that’s you too.” Biting his lip, he shook his head. “There’s no one else. Not now. And there hasn’t been.”

The brunette was flooded with guilt as the male turned the phone around showing that he hadn’t responded to the girl’s messages. Chewing on her bottom lip, she met his gaze not really knowing what to say. She could feel her chest tightening at the male’s words.”I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to doubt you, it’s just...Well, I guess it’s my own insecurities, I’m still wondering what you’re doing wasting your time with me.” She shook her head looking away from him, she’d shared more than she wanted to.

Feeling Owen’s arms encase her waist from his position behind her made her stomach flutter. It was strange how, even after a year of being reunited, and countless years of dating before then, that the male still managed to have the same effect on her that he always had - somehow she thought it would but, here she was, with those same butterflies fluttering in her stomach. Leaning her head gently against his, she sighed deeply as a content smile came to rest on her face. Iris laughed lightly in response to his words then shook her head. “You’re ridiculous.” She mused before turning around in his arms to face him and leaning closer to nuzzle her nose against his. “Adorable. But, still ridiculous.” She laughed lightly, delivering a soft peck to his lips. “I’m sure they appreciated the company nonetheless - how’s Isaac doing?” Iris asked, brows drawing together, concern lacing her features for her beau’s best friend.

“Shut up I would never get bored of you.” Micah laughed along with his girlfriend, smiling contently. “Though I don’t know how you’d feel about nights crashing in the back of my car when the rest of the guys decide to have an all-nighter.” He laughed once again, scratching the back of his head. “Hey, I figured that if I actually got you a puppy you’d shut up about me getting you one.” The male smiled, eyes sparkling as he peered toward the woman, biting down on his bottom lip. “She’s all yours, I’m hoping she can keep you company while I’m gone.” A slight sadness settled behind the smile he held.

Marcus blinked quickly as he peered toward the raven haired woman, his tongue darting over his bottom lip as he tried to swallow through the dryness in his mouth. “Wow- That- Thank you, back..” The male laughed lightly, hand combing back through his dark hair. He had never really received a compliment from someone so beautiful before, nor had he been called handsome by anyone other than his adoptive mother. So that was a strange feeling. “Sure.. I have some spare time to stick around and do something.. I’m Marcus, by the way.” He offered her yet another wide grin.

A wide smile crossed the young woman’s face as Owen entered the room, her eyes lighting up almost immediately as he moved toward her. Placing the tray down, she then willingly moved into his arms and hugged him back, lips puckering to leave a soft kiss against his cheek. “I just wanted to surprise you.” She explained smiling wide as she gently nuzzled the top of the tiny pup’s head, in return receiving a tiny lick from the animal. “Did you have a nice time with the boys?” Iris asked with yet another smile as she moved away from him, attention drawn back to the fudge.

Iris knew it was almost time for Owen to return, and her gift for him was almost ready. More fudge. Honestly, the raven haired young woman was surprised that he wasn’t sick of it yet. Hearing the door open and his voice enter their tiny home, she immediately looked down at the tiny pup at her feet, nudging him gently with her foot. “Nugget, Daddy’s home.” She spoke excitably before the pup shot off toward the front door. “I’m in here!” Iris called out to her boyfriend, smiling wide as she placed the fresh chunks of fudge out onto a cooling tray.

Owen had spent the morning catching up with his two friends Jean and Isaac, he always enjoyed seeing them but today he couldn’t help but keep glancing at the clock on the pub wall, counting down the hours until Iris finished work. He wanted nothing more than to just have a day chilling at home with raven-haired beauty. As soon as the clock struck 2pm he was on his feet saying his goodbyes before apparated home. “Iris?” He called out as he pushed the door to the living room open.

      a shaky breath left celeste’s lips as her hues turned puffy & red. the brunette never knew HOW sam knew her so well; how he knew   e x a c t l y   what she was feeling in any kind of situation. celeste didn’t wanted him to know that she was HURT, pretty badly, she didn’t wanted to worry him, what so ever. yes, they were exes; & yes, celeste still loved the man who was sitting next to her. ❝ where… –– where are you going?  ❞ she sniffled, her eyes following him & got out of the car whenever he did. her CURRENT boyfriend was not too happy with her; & celeste got the physical lesson.

She needed to pull it together before Sam realized that she had been crying while she sat in the car and waited for him.  Andi reached up and tried to wipe her eyes clean but the movement was slow as to now bring attention to the fact that she wasn’t looking at him. But there was no fighting her friend when he gently took her chin in his hand and turned her towards him. “Sam.” Her voice cracked and she reached out to make a grab for his arm. “Don’t.”

He paused for a moment as he felt her touch, glancing down at his arm where her hand lay causing him to sigh. "No, they don't get to carry on getting away with this. Making you cry." He ground out between clenched teeth as he attempted to hold back his anger. "You deserve better."
