" yea , sounds bad i get it . " but keeping her in the dark wasn ' t in his plans , marlene deserved better -- better than what he gave her . but i guess you have to or maybe slam the door in my face maybe it ' ll make you feel good . " he wasn ' t trying to be an asshole but what else can he say or do ? beg on his kness and cry ? taylor is so filled with ego and pride he ' d never do that .

" what do you want me to do ? hm -- keeping you in the dark and coming back to ask for forgiveness after a long time is fucked up , you can ' t hate me for trying to make amends . despite what i did what i feel towards you hasn ' t changed . i will never wish any ill intent towards you . it ' s my fault you ' re unhappy . "

there was no goodbye, so perhaps he thought then that there wouldn't be a heart to break at the other end. he hadn't stayed until the sun rose, the lights came on, and now what did he hope for? to right those wrongs? he'd been the one to MAKE A CUT early, chasing something, that, well... he'd never given her much of a chance to understand in the first place. so what was there to really say to her? arms crossing to lean into the frame of her door, looking to listen as taylor was left fumbling with his words.

"i don't, do i? is this another decision you're making on my behalf?" marlene isn't trying to be mean with this - it's for her, an OBJECTIVELY UNFAIR thing. "so you care about me, and want to keep me in the dark... do you know how hard it is to believe anything that you have to say? i have to just... trust you blindly, is that what you're asking me for?" without anything to show, or any foundation beneath it, marlene can't help that unsettled, unhappy feeling.

" denying you would be tragic princess . " hommes whispered , no beautiful features should be left unattended , pinning her close . " yea , well for you -- somehow you can ' t get enough of my attention . " no , i ' ll devour you here on the couch . the one begging would be you . "

"you know we shouldn't be this close towards one another," regardless it doesn't matter considering her body was practically glued to his by now. alluring face pulls her in, charming words and dashing smiles. "clearly, it keeps you coming back for more." teasing words fell in between kisses -- unable to get enough. "if i resist would you start begging?"

hoping she would feel how strongly he felt towards her through the kiss , femme took his his heart like no one did . hommes couldn ' t see anyone who ' d be worthy of his love , femme did . they connected better , he felt she ' s his destiny or true love that most refer it as . lips soft those warm petals and nothing else mattered , just her , the girl he loves . " nothing will happen baby , i promise . just give me a chance lace ? that ' s all i ask . " nuzzling her before he kisses her soft brims gently . " i ' ll never hurt you lace even you know that . "

question falls and she's grateful soft warm lips captures hers before she had time to answer -- not that she even knew what to say, not wanting to admit her insecurities out loud. but she also has to face the realities that along the way, her heart been captured by someone who wasn't her boyfriend. someone who she felt knew her better, pleased her the way no other could. words easily soothes her, big brown hues fluttering towards features trying to indicate in he was being authentic. lips part, arms snake around his neck -- remaining close, lips brushing against his as she speaks. "bear.. there's no denying that i feel something for you, god -- of course i do." she mumbles, "i'm just scared of the outcome of us if things ended terribly."

" what are you waiting for don ' t you want to hear me moan ? my neck is my sensitive spot . . as well as my inner thighs . " rosy brims curl into a smile , closing her eyes while he marked her neck making the femme moan . his words sounded like a plan . the tips of her fingers rest against the nape , gently sliding up into the back of his head . femmes free hand slip between their bodies , digits idly run over his bulge over the fabric of his jeans . biting her lower lip all those things he ' s mentioned sounded like heaven . " all the above love . " grinning , femme winked slipping away slowly while never dropping her gaze , she loved locking eyes with him while doing the most obscene of things . knees meet the floor while femmes digits work to undo the jeans , meeting the hardened arousal underneath the fabric , giving it a few teasing strokes before her mouth engulfs him whole .

"well, for starters i could mark up that pretty little neck of yours," smirk forms across his lips at the thought, hickies planted everywhere on her neck. "or, i mean i could just fuck you in front of everyone," joking words falls, laughter following shortly. desires for the female grows, eyes darkening ever so slightly -- hands still trailing up and down her leg. "show me, hm? gonna drop on your knees for me?" other hand place upon her cheek, caressing her ever so slightly. "or i could just pin you onto the bed and spread you open for me."

"oh, c'mon, it's just a silly little game of truth or dare. what are you so scared of?"

hearing her phone chime on her vanity , femme already knew who it was . honey eyes smiled it was a ritual almost and in some sick twisted way she even thought they were still together . the sad reality was they were no longer together . grabbing her phone , a text from the person that lived rent free in her heart , alex was definitely the one who got away . she lost all of self control fingers quickly pressed on the screen -- " me too . i ' ve been thinking about you . i haven ' t for awhile . "

alex knew that texting them was pointless but at this point, it had become a tradition. even after all this time, he couldn't forget about them, his fingers fumbled at the keys, "i miss you...".

" am i wrong . " the femme said confidently . but then daniel did something she didn ' t expect , his hands rested on her hips as if they were meant to be there . " no one said you had to believe handsome . " she shot back . he played a dangerous game by leaning too close enough that she wanted to kiss that grin off his face . " name it first and we ' ll see . "

“  casanova  vibes  ,  huh  ?  ”  homme  echoes  ,  head  cocking  to  the  side  .  as  hands  slipped  up  along  his  arm  ,  daniel’s  palms  found  a  new  home  ,  drawing  her  in  closer  as  they  rested  on  her  hips  .  “  mmm  ,  maybe  i  do  believe  you  ,  maybe  i  don’t  .  ”  he  taunts  ,  string  of  laughter  falling  from  his  lips  .  he  inched  closer  then  ,  smug  grin  playing  on  his  brims  as  he  spoke  ,  “  think  you’ll  have  to  do  something  for  me  to  make  up  my  mind  though  .  ”  he  states  ,  before  adding  ,  “  what’s  it  gonna  be  then  ,  huh  ?  ” 

he loves her but she also deserved better . " i guess it is . " decisions had to be made and maybe he was doing that on her behalf . " sam , i care enough to let you go instead of staying in a relationship that won ' t benefit you in the long run . "

while  samantha  didn’t  know  how  to  put  an  end  to  constant  conflict  between  them  ,  she  did  hope  for  things  to  somehow  work  out  ,  for  them  to  find  a  common  ground  ,  and  not  give  up  on  each  other  .  his  words  however  send  her  into  a  spiral  ,  and  she’s  taking  a  deep  breath  in  an  attempt  to  keep  it  together  .  “  so  this  is  it  then  .  ”  she  speaks  ,  brims  curling  into  a  forced  smile  .  “  you  really  don’t  care  anymore  ,  do  you  ?  ”

" tell me about them ? if i like what i hear you ' ll get a surprise . " biting her lower lip lightly , small palms roaming over his chest while her eyes glistened , honey eyes gazing into his . soon her arms wrap around his neck waiting for his response . the hand on her ass followed by the other that moved along her leg , causing a another shiver to run down her spine and a warm tingle form within her core . his next words with his usual devilish grin made her want him more . " not before you tell me first and i ' ll show you . " leaning closer to peck the corner of his mouth .

“oh baby, there’s multiple ways for the whole world to know that you’re mine,” unable to get enough of the female in his arms. everything about her just pulls him in, her teasing didn’t help either — only making him want her more, claim her. moan fills the room like music to his ears, his hand still on her ass, while the other began trailing up her leg, devilish smirk appearing across his lips. “but i just love hearing you beg, need to know how badly you’re craving me.”

" i find it hilarious that you think that way . there will always be someone better than the previous don ' t be envious that someone else can do way better than you . never said the world revolves around me , yeah you were alone in booth cheers to you but don ' t act like you didn ' t blow up my phone last night because you saw that picture of me with my date -- it triggered you that much . people move on to better things and people . sorry it ' s no longer you . you ask me what i want , are you deaf ? stop texting me and move on . "

❝ i don’t know what nonsense you think your saying but there will never be someone better than me. also i hate to break it to you, the world doesn’t revolve around you in no shape or form. i simply came to sit at an empty booth and you found me. so the ball is in your court, what the fuck do you want? ❞

" what ' s there to be terrified about ? " her answer could wait kissing her was more like a promise , bear wouldn ' t be begging her the way he is . his feelings genuine almost pure -- would this be enough for her to consider , he wasn ' t sure but he loves her enough to never share her with anyone else . " what ' s there to chase when you ' re mine forever babe . " he ' s never wanted anyone like he did lacey before he conquered his heart without even trying , she's perfect and smart what else could he want ? she's always been his type . breaking the kiss , his hand still holding her by her waist. " but you know i ' ll never force you lace that won ' t stop me from loving you the way i do . "

hand wrapping around her waist, tugging her even closer — heat from his chest pressed up against her causing a tint pink color to spread across cheeks. eyes darts all over his features, taking in his handsome structure as the grin vanishes. stomach drops, knowing that he’s right… eventually, he’d get tired of waiting for her and find someone better. the more time she spends with him, the more she realize she’d rather have him spending all her days. “and what if i’m terrified to leave him for you?” a hint of honesty in her tone — brown doe eyes darts away. hating to be vulnerable, but he had the right to understand her thinking, why she was hesitating. “that when you have me fully, the chase would be gone and you’ll get bored.”

the idea of stopping by the femmes place wasn ' t his greatest idea but he also didn ' t want to live with anymore regrets . " a long ago yeah but enough to eat away my conscious regrets . i ' m not asking for your forgiveness just -- wanted to let you know with a simple apology . " in truth it was something else too but he preferred to keep that his secret to the grave .

" i don ' t think you want to know the reason . " he stated . " forgiveness is not easily given and i know i let you down -- what i ' m saying is i have no expectations from you . " taylor felt guilt still even after such a long time but he wasn ' t stupid to set his expectations too high . " just know that i care about you . "

"yeah, well." there's hurt that bubbles up on the tip of her tongue. things that she doesn't really want to TALK ABOUT because he's been the one that's made a name for himself in leaving, in the whole not saying goodbye business that marlene simply doesn't forget because he's shown up after all this time, holding onto her door frame as he poured out his own confessional greatest hits. "that was a long time ago now, wasn't it?"

what can she say to that? that she was no longer the exchange student that was trying out everything she could for the first time because it was her first real taste of freedom. that she'd finished college and gone on and found that GROWING UP itself was hard, but she was harder, and better at faking it as she struggled forwards. taylor misses all that. purposefully. "if you're not looking for forgiveness then, what are you looking for taylor? we don't want you leaving disappointed now, do we?" a harder tuck and turn within her voice, a thing to ground her, remind her. disappointment was the expectation here. how low could things really go?

" isn't that what you want too ? " deep down he knew , her body language said it best . her beauty was not to be ignored . full lips kissable and desperately claiming an owner . " one of many things you are good at . " words get swallowed by the kiss they shared , hers as soft like petals and warm so good how can he let her go . between lush lips he whispered " give in a little and i ' ll show you the world . "

"you plan all along was to get my body right next to yours?" or matter in fact, pressed up against him -- stuck in a trance, handsome features consume her thoughts. sly smirk dances upon lips, hazel eyes glancing between them. "good thing i'm a visual learner, right?" teasing tone falls before lips are captured by his intoxicating ones -- those exact ones that she felt victim to each time.
