camden slowed his steps as he reached her, noticing the shift in her expression, how different it was from the smile she always greeted him with. something in his chest tightened. "why? are you feeling okay, darlight?" he asked, his brow furrowing slightly. "the party just started and i thought we would be going out together," he said softly, his voice careful, unsure. his eyes scanned iris, searching her face. "what's wrong?"

trying her best to focus on whatever her fellow cast mate was saying to her, however, her eyes kept lingering back over towards the male. eyes inching in on how they grasp each other, suddenly not in a party mood. maybe she wouldn't have to stay the entire time, god knows she couldn't handle all that being rubbed in her face. iris then realizes how stupid she was, how she mistook his kindness as something else. while saying her final goodbye to the cast and crew, she suddenly hears that familiar voice that made her heartbeat even faster. what could he possibly want? to introduce her to his girlfriend? hell no, she needed to leave. turning around, the normal friendly smile wasn't upon her face. "hey, i was just leaving, did you need something?"

as he tugged him closer, the smallest smile tugged at the corners of his lips, growing wider as he kissed him. "oh, i'm always distracted in your presence," he pointed out, though that wasn’t entirely true. "oh, that would be my pleasure, i’ve heard the bathrooms in this place are really nice," he added with a playful wink. the way he got shoved only made him smirk. "oh, i’m sure bailey would let me propose to you right here, right now," he said, raising his eyebrows. "i’ll marry you right now."

cheeks grew red from his compliment, tugging him closer towards her body as she plants a soft kiss upon his lips. "looks like the both of us keep getting distracted by one another.. we might just have to run out of here for some fun," soft giggles falls from her lips. gasp falling as she playfully shoves ronan, hands immediately moving to calm her burning cheeks. "how do you expect me not to want to marry you when you say stuff like that?"

london had been an asshole, there was no other way to put it. she had hung up on her best friend because of everest, and she didn’t even know what he was doing there. what she did know was that iris was going to kill her. at his words, the girl felt a sharp pang of guilt in her chest, for a second ignoring how his tongue dampened his lips. "night out, got it," she nodded, "i'll get changed, come in, you can wait for me," she smiled, "or you can help me get dressed..."

brow quirks, hearing how fast she was to hang up the call with her best friend who was clearly yelling through the phone. everest keeps in mind to tease iris about it later, focusing on her appearance. she looked so comfortable, it pulls a smile towards his lips. hand extended out, handing her the flowers. "i don't think iris appreciates you hanging up on her just to chill with me," light chuckle falls from lips -- tongue darting out to dampen them. "was thinking of a night out, yeah you can change or you can very much go in what you're wearing," he teased.

at his words the blonde blinked a couple of times, her head tilting slightly to the side as she looked at him. "oh, you're giving him ideas to torture me? thanks, husband," she mused, trying not to laugh, "isn't it trouble enough probably having a huge baby because of how tall you are? now you want him to kick me?" she asked playfully. as hudson kissed the back of her hand, a smile tugged at the corners of her lips. he was her absolute dream. "how do you think we should do it?" she asked, looking at him, as if she wasn't actually famous and didn't do that all the time.

roaring laughter falls from his lips, her humor had always mirrored his own -- glad that he found someone he could spend his entire life with. "just know that baby boy is hearing everything right now.. don't be surprise when he starts kicking the living shit out of you," he playfully jokes. "you'll be spending eternity with me, baby." and that was a promise as he slips his hands into hers. "the absolute craziest." bringing her hand towards his lips, planting a kiss on the back of her hand. "of course... it's our special day."

ik it's cliche, but someone give me grumpy cowboy rancher x spoiled city girl.

he helps her out once, they exchange numbers , and turns out even though she's not at all what he pictured his future to look like he wants her bad. and now suddenly she's got frilly pajamas in his dresser drawer and expensive soaps in his bathroom.

bailey looked at her now husband. “the happiest day of my life, but we’re going to tell the baby it was when he was born,” she chuckled softly. it was crazy everything was happening all at the same time. “i can’t wait to spend it with you,” she smiled, her hand reaching to hold his. “i’m mrs hudson? how crazy is that?” she smiled, pushing him towards the door. “do we make an entrance?”

"it's the day of our wedding," he hums with a bright grin across his lips; still with her in a white dress in front of him, it was unbelievable. couldn't believe that after tonight she would be his wife through sickness and health. no matter what, they were bonded for life and he truly couldn't be happier with the outcome. her pregnant with their first child, looking stunning as ever. "ready for one hell of a reception, mrs. hudson?"

ronan looked at the girl in front of him—it hadn’t been easy keeping his concentration when iri looked so good. she looked like a princess. “oh, i keep getting distracted, you look so amazing,” the male mused, flashing her a small smile. “you should be kicked out, honestly, you look even better than the bride, and that’s not allowed.”

long flowy dress, hair pinned up and make up done, ready to be the best maid of honor anyone could have, if only she would stop stealing glances at ronan. her heart couldn't help, but imagine when it'll be their turn to be walking down the aisles. "you look so good in a suit, going to have me acting up, babe," teasing words fell as iridescent eyes twinkles, pure happiness and love surrounding her.

[shcrtnsweet]

the blonde had planned on spending her evening chatting with iris—she was on the phone with her when she heard a knock at the door. she wasn’t expecting anyone. “babes, one second, i need to open the door, i don’t know who’s there,” she mused, her hair up in a bun, wearing a big t-shirt she’d bought from one of her best friend’s movies. when she opened the door and saw everest standing there with flowers, her eyes widened. “okay, iris, i’ll call you later,” she said softly before hanging up. “hi,” she smiled. “no, i’m not busy,” she assured him, “steal all the time you want,” london chuckled. “you want to stay here? go somewhere? can i change?”

with london's best friend being away, that resulted in everest getting the honors to be her replacement for the time being. there was something unique about the petite blonde, something firey within her that he couldn't get enough of. deciding that he was done with the bullshit, he planned a nice night for the two. pulling up towards her house, he gets out with flowers in hand before ringing the doorbell, soon as it opened he grins, "hey -- hope you're not busy tonight," knows all too well that she isn't. "was wondering if i could steal a bit of your time?"

that was a wrap, they were finally going to be able to go back. he had fallen for iris as the days went by. she wasn’t just the prettiest girl he’d ever seen—she was charming, loving, and amazing. he was planning to ask her to keep seeing each other, but in a more official way. he wanted to make the most of their last days in london to do it. but as he searched for her, his ex showed up. they were on good terms, and he spoke to her politely, but his mind was elsewhere—he wanted to find the raven-haired girl. “look, love, i’m glad to see you, but i was looking for someone,” camden said. she brought up something about not being enough for him, and he shook his head as her hand moved to his arm. “just five minutes, i need to find her,” he said again, gently touching her elbow before moving past her toward his co-star. “iris!”

it was the wrap party for their movie, they finished shooting a few days ago and she would be flying back home in a couple days. between the months, she gotten really close to camden -- finding that he was an absolute sweetheart; it didn't help that her crush intensified the more they spent time together. eyes scans the party in search of her co-star, except when her eyes lands upon him, she noticed he was engaged in a friendly conversation with a female, upon further inspection, iris realizes it's his ex. that unsettling feeling settles in her stomach, forcing herself to look away when someone called for her name.

clementine looked at jett. her friends still teased her about seeing him, but they were friends... or at least they tried to be. "they don't like when we hang out?" she asked, head slightly tilted to the side, "why? have they said something about me?"

"um, yeah." jett spoke as he rubbed the back of his neck. after everything that they had been through, he found it awkward to talk about his new relationship with clementine. "things have been going well though we did have an argument before i came here. they don't seem to enjoy when the two of us hang out."

if cassie was honest, all she knew about that bar was that it wasn’t too loud and it had good reviews, a couple of people had mentioned the toilets being clean and the ambiance being nice so… she decided to give it a try. she walked through the door, she could see groups of friends, chatting, laughing and having a nice time. something inside her felt like she didn’t belong there. as she got to the bar, she picked up a little menu. she started reading the ingredients of the cocktails they offered when a drink was placed in front of her. “i think you mistook me for that girl,” she added quietly, glancing at a little group of girls by the bar. @divinedxsign

emmy raised her eyebrows at the redhead. “just because i’m the daughter of a farmer doesn’t mean i’m not smart,” the blonde smiled, a playful grin tugging at her lips. “i feel like belle from beauty and the beast—‘there must be more than this provincial life.’ do you have any other places to go?” she added, quoting the movie with a light laugh.

���I didn’t expect to see you back here so soon! Did you finish the book already?” The other had become a frequent visitor to the bookstore, constantly asking for new book recommendations every time they stopped in.

alessia knocked against his door. she didn’t wait for an answer, just opened it, finding him there under the dim light. “yeah well, cowboy, your sister called me,” she said softly, closing the door behind her as she leaned back against it. “i look tired? thanks, you really know how to compliment a girl,” she added with a hint of sarcasm. “what happened?”

open to: women.

suggested connection: someone who owns a business in the town, a tourist that's stayed too long, the child of someone who has a business in the town, the mayor's daughter, etc.

"isn't it almost two in the morning? y'didn't have to come. i'm fine." he had just gotten back from the local hospital because he had spooked his horse and gotten thrown off, which resulted in a broken arm and sprained ankle. he had settled into bed, but didn't want anyone to know what had happened. except, his sister called her up because she knew he secretly wanted her there for him. "you look tired. you shouldn't be worried about me."

💋 open  to  : @sweetlikewhiskey. plot: this one.

it was the third time this week they’d hung out. just the two of them. just… friends. “you, uh…” she started, picking at a crack in the laminate tabletop, “you still seeing them?”

[shcrtnsweet]

plots inspired by (in my opinion) the best cowboy romance books by lyla sage:

done and dusted (small town, cowboy romance, slow burn, brother’s best friend, found family, enemies to friends to lovers.)

after an injury ends their rodeo career, muse a returns to the small hometown they ran from years ago—broke, bruised, and desperate to avoid everyone, especially muse b: their older brother’s best friend and the cocky cowboy who once made teasing an art form. now running the local ranch, muse b offers muse a a job out of obligation—or so he says. but the more time they spend together, the more their old rivalry shifts: bickering turns into banter, tension into trust. beneath the sarcasm, muse a, scattered and sharp, starts to feel grounded again. and muse b, steady and sure, finds himself drawn to every messy, brilliant part of them.

swift and saddled (city girl x country boy, black cat x golden retriever, found family, forced proximity)

after a messy divorce and failing out of design school, muse a rebuilt their life brick by brick. no more relying on anyone else—just hard work, late nights, and a business finally taking off. landing a dream project on a massive ranch feels like the start of a new chapter. until muse b walks in. the flirty stranger from the bar. the one-night fantasy muse a swore she’d never see again. now? he’s her boss. muse b, charming and sunshine-soft under all that cowboy grit, is thrilled. muse a? determined to keep things strictly professional. but forced proximity, shared late nights, and a slowly growing bond with muse b’s found family chip away at her walls. as the ranch transforms, so does the space between them—until muse a has to decide if trusting someone again is a risk worth taking.

lost and lassoed (enemies to lovers, forced proximity, small town, cowboy, age gap, slow burn, small town, single parent)

muse a isn’t sure where her life is headed. her friends are settling down, her favorite jacket’s falling apart, and the small-town charm she’s always loved suddenly feels… stuck. so when the chance to help out on a local ranch pops up, she grabs it—hoping a change of pace might bring some clarity. what she doesn’t expect? muse b. the grumpy cowboy, single dad, and her best friend’s older brother—the same one she’s traded barbed words and eye rolls with since forever. with his kid home for the summer and the ranch stretched thin, muse b has no choice but to accept her help. forced into close quarters, their bickering turns into something else—heated glances, stolen moments, a chemistry neither of them can deny. as the summer deepens, so do their feelings—but old habits, age gaps, and stubborn pride threaten to pull them apart before either one is ready to admit what’s really happening between them.

wild and wrangled (small town, second chance, single mum)

muse a thought she had it all figured out—a marriage of convenience to build a stable life for her daughter, quiet the judgment of her wealthy parents, and finally claim a place of her own in her beloved small town. but when she's left at the altar, her perfect plan crumbles. with nowhere to go, she moves into her dream rental… only to find muse b living next door. the same muse b who broke her heart nearly a decade ago. the same first love who disappeared without warning. back in town and determined to prove he can stay this time, muse b offers nothing but friendship. but proximity brings old memories crashing back—inside jokes, unfinished conversations, and a connection that still simmers beneath the surface. as shared history collides with messy present-day feelings, muse a and muse b must face the past if they want a shot at forever. because sometimes, love comes back when you least expect it—and this time, it might be here to stay.
