Dan: Which one of you was going to tell me that tea tastes different if you put it in hot water?? MC: Y- you were putting it in cold water?? Jessy: Dan. Answer the question, Dan. Dan: Yeah??? I thought people just put it in hot water to speed up the tea-ification process. didn't realize there was an actual reason. Dan: Plus you think I have the patience to boil water? MC: You don't have the patience to microwave water for 3 minutes?? Jessy: Why are you putting it in the microwave to boil it? MC: Do you think I have the patience to boil water on the stove? Jessy: It takes less than a minute. MC: Is your stovetop powered by the fucking sun??? Jessy: How long does it take you to boil a cup of water on the stove? MC: Like seven minutes?? Jake: Just stick the mug on top of the stove on medium heat and it boils in like 2 minutes… less than that if you use a saucepan! Jessy: Why are you putting the whole mug on the stove?? On medium heat?? Jake? Your stove is enchanted! MC: Every single person here is a fucking lunatic. Cleo: Do none of you own a fucking kettle?!

I happen to be in love with him, actually
Tumblr media
IMAGINE:
Jake couldn't help but follow the chat between MC and Jessica, especially since he was the main subject of their conversation.
Tell me, do you text with this hacker person?
Yes, I do
Why was Jessica asking this, was she seeking out information? Could she actually be involved in Hannah's disappearance? Although possible, it seemed very unlikely.....
He is creepy
Jake rolled his eyes, of course the others thought he was "creepy", "mysterious", he already knew most of them considered him as the kidnapper. But not MC, she was different, she trusted him, though she did not even know his name. What was drawing him towards MC so much? Deep down he knew, he liked how trusting she was, he liked her attitude, her determination, he liked her.
I happen to like him, actually
The smallest smile spread across his lips, MC liked him? What kind of like were they talking about? Like as a friend, or like like? Ugh, he hoped she meant it as like like. He looked around as if someone could overhear his thoughts, those thoughts that were betraying him. What was wrong with him, this wasn't normal, and it was MC's doing.

Male MC in Moonvale ⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️
Tumblr media
Will Jessy text us? And I remember that my male MC turned her down saying something like "give me some time?" I don't remember very well. But... I hope she text to us again.
https://instagram.com/thizchaos
Tumblr media
Male and Female Mc/ For me, these are different characters, even if the answers are the same. The male mc is much arrogant and likes to joke. But the fem mc is much shy and is ready to blow up the galaxy for Jake.
I liked the friendship between Jake and the MC. With a fem mc , he can feel loved and understand that he also has the right to be happy. But with the male mc , he felt a friendship and could feel that he could confide in someone in this world.
AND The relationship between male MC and Jessy is super-duper cute!!!!
When I looked at them I saw Jake and fem MC. ❤️‍🩹

BROKEN PROMISES
CH.2 a way out
Tumblr media
Pairing: Jake Donfor x reader
Words: 1.5k
Check out the first chapter on my masterlist
It was over I pondered; this would be my end. The feeling of helplessness seemed to swallow my being, thankfully the common sense was slowly rising from the ocean of the panic that almost dominated my head. Michael Hanson was injured, shot two times by Dan. I stretch my back and I felt the figure behind me disorientating lightly, so I shoved my elbow to his side and I heard a groan and the grip around my neck loosened and I seized the opportunity to stepped away. I saw the man with the mask, it was loose over his head.
He only stared at me and I found myself taking steps backwards, away from him, he didn't react, he only sighed and slowly brought his hand in the back of his neck and gently started to remove the mask. I couldn't believe my eyes as the mask fell to the ground, the man without a face had two faces apparently...
"No" I breathed out.
"I am sorry Nellie" he mumbled and didn't attempt to move.
"You... You are sorry? This is all you have to say?" I yelled at him, I felt tears, I didn't know if it was from anger because I was outsmarted and played, from the betrayal I felt or the hurt... It was Richy, the person who was supposingly helped us get the legend, helped the rest hide. He attacked Jessy, twice... The person he was 'in love' with.
"You were right you know... About everything" He started off ignoring everything I was saying. "About everything pretty much, But you missed one thing. There were three people that night" He started saying and he slowly broke down as he narrated everything he did the past weeks, how he was with the girls the night of the accident, and how he lured Hannah to the Hanson residence. I was left looking at him, speechless. He didn't say anything, he couldn't.
His phone suddenly started to ring. I saw Jessy's picture. "I'd like to see how you will tell her. She was shattered when I told her what I saw happen to you..." I spoke.
"Leave" He stated and I laughed lightly at his demanding tone that seemed to be confident enough. "I was serious about the explosives you know..." he spoke and it felt like a punch in the throat. Jake, I had to reach him first, how could I forget him.
"One last thing..." I spoke "Why my number? Why me?" I asked loudly and he simply shook his head.
His gaze blank as he looked at me, his black eyes weren't cheerful and sweet as the way I had met him, he was dark now. He didn't speak, I walked towards him and pushed him. He took out a knife and placed it under my chin and I stayed still. "I wouldn't waste the few minutes I have left MC" He spoke and once he removed the knife from my neck, I took some steps backwards before finally running off that specific tunnel. I got notification on my phone, to join in Richy and Jessy's call. I was sad, she was crying hysterically her sobs echoing in my head. She definitely didn't deserve this, the hurt in her voice when she realized he marked her and attacked her, I was listening to them as I called Jake's name.
'Who else did you tell about the mine?' Alan asked through a text message. He hadn't realize where I was.
'Why do you ask?' I texted and paused, it sounded important and maybe if I moved the reception would be lost again.
'The FBI just arrived, and I do not think it is for Mrs. Donford...' he replied and I panicked.
"Shit shit shit" I repeated "Jake?" I yelled and texted him as well. My voice echoed as I decided to call him. It was the first time I did so, the circumstances didn't allow the butterflies to fly around, even though I had to admit there were plenty hints of enthusiasm and happiness despite the sticky situation we found ourselves into. A few seconds later I heard the Nokia 2000s ringtone, I couldn't help but giggle. My heart was beating fast and for several seconds I forgot about the explosives and the FBI. He was behind me.
I finished the call without turning around.
"Nellie" spoke Jake, his voice calm but shaky, echoing at the dark alley.
I slowly turned around and faced him, he looked oddly like Hannah in many ways but he also didn't. He was wearing a black hoodie with a star wars emblem and a jacket, I scanned his appearance unintentionally, I only had to take in his vision. He had brown hair, messy.
"What are you doing here? Nellie you said-." He begun to preach me and I simply run and wrapped my arms around his neck only to realize how much taller than me he actually is and more fit than his looks. I could tell he was caught off guard, he slowly wrapped his arms around me and held me close for some moments before a buzz on my phone struck me back on reality.
I pulled away. "Well, there's shitty signal. And I really had to talk to you... for several things that tend to get higher on the number each time I have a notification." I spoke and I saw his confused gaze at me as I was staring up at him. "First things first... Hannah is safe, out of here with Bloomgate." I announced and I saw the relief upon his features and I smiled at him.
"She is safe?" He asked and his voice was bass but soothing. "How about Richy?" Jake asked. I clenched my jaw, he slowly brought his hand on my chin wiping some blood. "You encountered Michael" He realized. "I came here, so I would keep you safe Nellie, so you wouldn't have to undergo even more danger. I can't have you running mindlessly into jeopardy." He spoke and I rolled my eyes. It felt oddly familiar.
"Michael is indeed dead, Richy is behind everything you know. But this doesn't really matter now does it? I mean, Friendly Bureau of Information is here and Richy also mentioned some explosives... and something about only a few minutes. So we can run so you can preach me about my carelessness and thank me about saving your life." I smiled, seeing his struggle to catch up with my sassy babbling, it was oddly satisfying
"We need to get out" Jake spoke and took my hand.
"You think?" I asked as I ran beside him holding his hand just as tight. "FYI we don't have to worry about Richy and Bloomgate" I smiled lightly.
"Oh I only have one fear right now. Trust me it neither of those." He said.
"Care to share your fears Jake?" I panted lightly as he paused the run abruptly looking at his map and I stumbled on his back before stopping myself.
"Left to the shafts." He spoke and took my hand again. "Getting you out of here. I offered to come so you would be safe." Stated Jake. His thoughts were stuck on getting me out of there and to be honest I do not know if this angered me or had me melt.
"Let's just say that I always am a step ahead of you." Said I and winked. I could tell he was mad despite his smile at my expression.
"Of course." He spoke and looked at me with maintaining his smile. Once his gaze was removed his jaw clenched.
We were running, our pants echoing in the narrow tunnels. His flashlight finally reached the ladder when massive sound was heard. I paused and looked behind us to see the rocks falling and a wave of fire approaching. The whole mine shook and we started running from the inevitable. Jake was holding my hand so tight, I felt that he would smash it.  
A/N: Hey there readers thank you for reaching this point. I hope you liked the chapter, there will be more soon. I always appreciate comments (or dms if you are too shy) and impressions good or bad (as long as we are not mean to eachother) as they motivate me to keep going.
Have a good rest of the day or night and dont forget to take care of yourself.
Yours, silvermist

Jake: I believe everybody in this house needs to buy a personal computer and stop using mine.
Dan: Sharing is caring, hackerboy.
Jake: Well then, I don't care about y’all.
MC:
Jake: Except you, of course.
Jessy: We use yours because it is so much faster and the keys of the keyboard are really soft.
Jake: That is because mine is a computer specialized for hacking. And it's not for silly games like Angry Birds and Purble Place, Jessica.
Richy: So it can't handle games?
Jake: *Offended* What? Of course, it can. It can handle tons of games working at the same time.
Richy: So what's the problem?
Jake: I need to do some important business and the problem is, wait, I’ll just show you. *Points to his computer*
Cleo: *Playing Purble Place* Shit, it was supposed to be chocolate over vanilla.

Dusk Fragments #1
Summary: A night of drinking, a group of friends, and two people returning to town. What could go wrong? Pairings: Jessy x Gender Neutral MC
Note: Had this on my mind for quite a while. This one-shot follows Dusk til Dawn. The timeline isn't clear here.
“I don’t think drinking and partying is such a good idea right now.” Cleo mused against her drink, the condensation on her glass forming tiny beads. She eyed the swirling liquid thoughtfully, her expression pensive. Despite her verbal disagreement, she downed her margarita in one go, barely wincing at the tangy taste.
Dan scoffed at that, knowing fully well where this conversation was going. “It’s been months. No one died. What better way to celebrate than being wasted?”
Lilly, seated next to Cleo, leaned forward, her gaze serious. “Hannah and Richy are still under court-ordered psychiatric evaluation and treatment,” Lilly emphasizes as if everyone has forgotten that fact. “Y/n and Jake are nowhere to be seen. So, I don't think these counts for a celebration.”
Jessy froze at the mention of your name, her hand pausing in mid-air as she played with her Mimosa.
For months, she had tried not to let your name linger in her mind for longer than necessary. It still hurts to think about you. Despite the fact that Agent Hartmann– Charlotte, Jessy corrected herself, already explained everything, it did nothing to quell the pain she was feeling.
Because why couldn’t you just tell them all those things yourself? Why couldn’t you just come back?
“But did they die?”
“Dan!” Cleo admonishes him.
“What?” He shrugged as he plucked a chilled martini glass from the shelf. “I’m just saying,” he continued as he went back to face them and to prepare Lilly’s drink. “Out of all the possible worst-case scenarios, we managed to get the best one. I’m not saying y’all need to trash out and get wasted, but I don’t think Y/n did all this for us to just sulk in our homes forever. We deserve this after all the hell each of us went through.”
“That’s true,” Phil popped out beside him, placing another Mimosa in front of Jessy despite the redhead's protest. “I never thought I’d get out of that stinky place they called prison after a certain someone” he eyed Dan accusingly, a smug smirk on his face “testified against me. So, drink up! Celebrations are in order!”
“For the love of— I already said sorry!” Dan yells at Phil’s retreating form, his voice drowning from the music reverberating around the Aurora bar.
“Sorry won’t cut it, Pal! You still have 6 months left of voluntary work before you get your wage!” Phil shouted back in a sing-song voice before disappearing into the stockroom.
“He won’t ever live it down, y’know?” Jessy allows herself to smirk at Dan’s guilty face. The man got an earful from her when she learned about what he did. If she were the same person as before, she would have never forgiven him but she’s a changed person now. At least that’s what she likes to think. Dan means well despite his impulsivity.
“I know,” Dan grumbled as he placed Lilly’s cosmopolitan in front of her.
The blonde eagerly sips her drink, humming in satisfaction, her body slightly swaying to the music. “Fuck it, I guess we do deserve to lose out a little.” Lilly perks up when ‘Streets’ begins blasting from the bar's speakers. The lights turned a deep hue of red as if to accentuate the mood of the song. “Oh my god! I love Doja Cat! Come, Cleo. Let’s dance!”
Cleo had no choice but to finish off her drinks before allowing the youngest Donfort to drag her to the nearest dance floor.
“She’s getting drunk,” Thomas commented quietly as he observed them.
“Oh, Lilly? Let her.” Dan leans a bit on the counter. “What about you, Tommy? What can I get for you? You’ve been awfully quiet since you came here.”
“I don’t think it’s such a great idea. Someone needs to be sober around here.”
Dan chuckles at that. “Still a wimp,” he teased. “Don’t worry. I don’t plan to drink tonight. Not until Y/n comes back to keep their promise and buy me a drink. I’ll keep an eye on her.”
“Fine.” Thomas sighed. “After what happened I guess I need a hard drink. Give me some Negroni.”
“Right away, sir.”
Jessy waited for Dan to get away from earshot to get some vermouth from the stock room before addressing Thomas. “Have she talked to you, yet?”
Thomas pursed his lips, his gaze shifting to the swirling liquid in Jessy’s glass. He took a moment to gather his thoughts before responding, his voice tinged with a sense of longing.
“Not since… that day.” He went quiet for a moment before speaking again. “I miss her, a lot.” He admitted. “But I’m trying to understand her. What happened was shitty. I don’t think 6 months of treatment would suffice to get over a trauma.”
“Any news about their development?”
Thomas sighed, his gaze distant as he delved into the subject. “Well… she’s starting to at least connect with her family. Lilly says it’s just about trivial matter and Hannah seems to be avoiding the topic being discussed just yet. About Richy…” he trailed off. “he’s doing okay, I guess. I talked to him a little while ago and he said he was truly sorry about what happened.”
“Do you… forgive him?” Jessy questions tentatively, her gaze fixed on Thomas, searching for his thoughts on the matter.
Thomas swallowed, fists curling into a fist. “I do. He’s my friend.” He met her eyes, his own ones going mist. “It’s just quite difficult to forget what he had done.”
“I know…” Jessy murmured, her tone reflective, finally downing her first mimosa. The contrasting flavors of bitterness, sweetness, and tanginess played against her tongue, much like the conflicting emotions she was feeling. “Richy doesn’t want to talk to us. I tried to… y’know but he pushed me away.”
“He was afraid. He doesn’t trust himself around you girls.”
“Oh,” was all that Jessy could say.
Maybe you and Richy have a lot more in common than she expected.
Like making decisions for everyone instead of asking them directly. She doesn’t get why both of you chose to keep everything to yourselves.
“Y/n,” Thomas suddenly says. “Do you still think of them?”
“Every day,” she found herself whispering. “I don’t think I had ever stopped.”
“Wow, I just went away for a minute or two and everything suddenly got sentimental.” Dan’s voice joined the conversation. He raised an eyebrow at the two as he began to mix Thomas’ drinks.
“It’s nothing!” Jessy tried to laugh, shoving her empty glass towards Dan. “I want another Mimosa. I’ll be back. I just need to go to the bathroom for a sec.”
“Hey! You still have a full glass of Mimosa here!” Dan calls back to her, but Jessy continues to her destination, brushing through sweaty bodies. She really needs to pee.
More importantly…
She also needs to cry.
Damn it. This is what she’s talking about. Just give her a couple of seconds to think of you and then no more than later her eyes turn into a waterwork.
“Jessy?” Well, that’s a voice that sounds familiar.
She whirls on the spot, and she has little time to even out her voice to mask her surprise. “Alica?”
Luckily, she managed to do it.
Because never in those three years, she has expected to see Alica Roth in the arms of her ex-boyfriend, Norman White.
It took all self-control for Jessy not to give any sort of reaction. What she told you was true. She never made an effort to know whom her ex had cheated her with due to fear of actually knowing who that person might be.
And just her luck, it seemed Alica was the person Norman fucked while being in a relationship with her.
“Oh, hi!” She put on a tight-lipped smile at the two. “I didn’t know that you two…” she tried to laugh. “How long?” She just wanted to know if her theory was true.
Norman has the audacity to look so smug about it, pulling the girl closer to him by the hip as if to rub salt in her wounds. Not that there’s any wound to begin with.
“Two years,” he answers with his typical boyish grin that Jessy used to swoon at. Well, not anymore.
And two years? He was still dating Jessy at that time!
This piece of crap really did cheat on her with Alica, and they even have the decency to flaunt it right on her face. Alica is no better; she knew Jessy was in a relationship with him and yet she allowed Norman to pursue her.
“I heard about what happened. I’m really sorry about Hannah and Richy.” Alica mentions, and Jessy doesn’t know if the girl is even genuine about it. “It must have been stressful for you guys.”
“It was.”
Norman straightened out, his arms falling from his side. “Well, you certainly didn’t look stressed at all,” he eyes her up and down unabashedly. “I mean don’t get me wrong. I know you are but what I was trying to say was you look as dashing as ever.” He finished his babbling with a grin.
Alica raised an eyebrow at his comment before turning her attention back to Jessy with the most faux smile she had ever seen in her life.
“He’s such a sweet guy, right? Always thoughtful with girls even if he already has a girlfriend.”
If she wasn’t sure before, Jessy is sure as hell that’s definitely sarcastic now.
“Oh, I know.” Jessy’s smile was just as fake.
“Of course,” as oblivious as ever, Norman beamed. “I even chatted that Y/n when Lilly posted about that video. Because y’know, I don’t like it when women get hurt.”
Jessy furrows her brows at that. What’s that even supposed to mean?
And wait, what?! He had chat Y/n which means he was one of the locals who harassed Y/n!
“Hey, y’all. I heard my name so would you mind if join in?”
****
“Do you think this is a good idea, Y/n?”
You turned to Jake, a smug smirk dancing across your lips. “Well, considering the last mission you need to do in order to grant your defection to the Agency has gone very well, I don’t see the problem in going back here. Plus,” your grin widens. “You have to be here. I don’t want Lilly to kill me so you have to protect me against her wrath.”
Jake chuckles at that. “You just took down twelve men just a couple of hours ago, and you mean to tell me you are afraid of Lilly?”
“It’s different,” you retorted, parking the car in the designated place Phil had made for you. You closed the door shut. Jake follows you after. From here you can already hear the music blasting inside. And judging from the disco lights you’re seeing peeking from the gates; you knew this is going to be one hell of a night.
“How do I look?” you turned to Jake as you tried to brush off imaginary specks of dust from your shirt. Not that it would make any difference. The glaring bruise on your cheek and a cut to the lip wouldn’t go unnoticed anyway.
“Like you just went on a mission.”
“I’m going to tell Aerith to dump your ass.” You narrowed your eyes at him. You couldn’t see his whole face because of his mask but you didn’t miss the way he rolled his eyes at you. “Hey, I saw that!”
Jake just shook his head and pushed you inside– forcefully.
“Just go inside and go restore your love life.”
The stench of alcohol and sweat greeted your nostrils and you didn’t bother to hide the look of pure disgust on your face, The lights were off inside but the illumination coming from the disco lights created a swirling pattern of abstract forms that gracefully blended with– is that ‘streets’?!
And is that Lilly dancing with Cleo?! If you can even call that dancing.
You snorted at the sight. The blonde’s probably drunk but Cleo looks sober enough which made this whole thing funnier. The poor girl was so embarrassed with her friend.
“I didn’t know Lilly was a fan of Doja Cat.” You couldn’t help but laugh at the idea.
You could have sworn you saw Jake’s eye twitch at the sight of his sister dancing in the middle of the dance floor with men trying to dance with her only to be pushed away by Cleo.
Not long after, Jake pushed his way through the crowd and towards his sister. You can only wish the men around Lilly good luck because a pissed Jake is someone you wouldn’t want on your plate– ever.
Shaking your head, you made your way towards the bar without any announcement when your eyes spotted those familiar beards from miles away and Thomas’ signature beanie.
“What’s cooking, good looking?”
“Y/n?!” Thomas almost spat his drink on a very unsuspecting Dan.
You thought that was the funniest thing you have ever seen but looking at Dan, it was your turn to choke on your own spit. The man looked like he saw a ghost with the way his eyes widened.
“Thanks for accepting my invitation, Y/n.” Phil wraps his arm around you. Taking you away from the bar, much to Dan’s dismay.
“Hey! I was talking to Y/n!”
Phil only gave him the finger, laughing. “Sorry, pal but we got customers.”
Dan could only grumble in annoyance as a group of rowdy teenagers came stumbling on the bar, leaving his hands full at the moment.
“You looked like you just came from a fight,” he commented as he guided you towards a corner. The music in this spot had mellowed, allowing both of you to talk in a normal voice. “I assume you won as always.”
“Won’t you know it?” You grinned. “I suppose free drinks are in order tonight?”
“Maybe,” he smirked. “Is that any way to talk to your brother-in-law?”
Your smile falters a bit. It’s been 6 months of radio silence. The last time you talked to her was when you left. You barely said goodbye. You barely gave any reassurance.
How could you though? How can you look at someone you love so much and tell yourself it’s time to go?
Would she still want you after all this time? Would she even want to talk to you?
“Is she mad at me?” You questioned quietly. The million-dollar question.
Phil noticed your apprehension, quirking an eyebrow at you. “Do you think I’ll invite you here if she hates you?”
“I mean if the invitation is out of spite, it is possible.”
He laughed. “You might want to get your head checked out, L/n. Unless you have a major concussion then you’re probably crazy to even be convinced that the kindest person in Duskwood hates your guts. Of course, she loves you shitless.” He took both of your shoulders, shaking you as if to take away those thoughts. “Listen, I didn’t just invited you here just to show gratitude for bailing me out. This is also me paying my sister back for all the shitty things I’ve done to her.”
His gaze suddenly flickered behind you, his grin coming back.
“Make my little sister happy, okay?” Without warning he pushed you forward. But not without whispering. “That’s her ex, Norman. Punch him in the face for me. Tata!”
You felt the world seemed to freeze before you when you finally saw her.
Ever since you came here you pretend to look around. You wanted to convince yourself that you’re just familiarizing yourself with your surroundings but the truth is…
I’m actually looking for you.
You can feel your chest starting to ache again. A frequent occurrence whenever you think of her. But seeing her again after all this time gives you a different kind of pain.
You find yourself walking towards her. Somehow, you’re thankful she has her back on you because it gave you a bit of time to prep yourself to face the redhead.
“He’s such a sweet guy, right? Always thoughtful with girls even if he already has a girlfriend.”
Your eyebrows raised when you finally got an earshot to the conversation Jessy was having with these people.
“Oh, I know.” Even with her back on you, you can notice Jessy was visibly tense. You frowned. Clearly, she’s uncomfortable. Just who the hell are these people?
“Of course,” the guy with a face you didn’t like boasted. So, this is the ex, huh? “I even chatted that Y/n when Lilly posted about that video. Because y’know, I don’t like it when women get hurt.”
“Hey, y’all. I heard my name so would you mind if join in?” That was the time you decided to swoop in.
You casually grab Jessy by the waist, far away from her so-called ex who doesn't seem to know how to read the room.
Telling by the lack of flinch, you know Jessy already knows it was you. If she was surprised at your sudden appearance after months of radio silence, she didn’t show it.
You put yourself between them. All the while, Norman looks a bit startled at your sudden presence. He was taken aback. He slowly backed away when he noticed your piercing gaze focused on him.
“It would be kind of rude to talk behind my back, right?” You went on. Flashing them a charming smile. You turn to Jessy, kissing her cheek. “Anyway, Dan sent me to tell you your Mimosa is good to go, babe.”
She kissed your cheek back, right across your bruise as if to tell you it didn’t go unnoticed by her. “Of course, love. Thank you!”
You fight a flush beginning to emerge on your cheeks at the endearment. But you find yourself not even trying to as the next words uttered by the woman in front of you were enough for you to grimace.
“Oh, my. I wasn’t informed you have such a hot company there, Jessy.” You could have sworn the woman batted her eyelashes at you unabashedly, making the ‘ex’ bristle next to her.
Jessy feigns a smile as she rests her head against your chest, “this is Norman and this is his girlfriend, Alica. Guys, this is my partner, Y/n.”
Norman held out his hand, “Nice to meet you.”
“Likewise, Normy.” You smiled, ignoring the wince on his face as you might have gripped his hand a little too hard.
“It’s a-actually Norman, not Normy.” He corrected with a strained smile.
“You’re the same Normy who harassed me on the phone right?” You raised an eyebrow, your gaze challenging.
“N-no. I…” he stuttered pathetically, making you grin wider.
“Call me Ali, dear.” Alica made a move to kiss your cheek and was about to do another one, but Jessy pulled you back to her, eyes openly glaring now. The blonde didn’t seem to care as she commented, “you smell good, and that bruise looks hot.”
You were quick to wipe off the kiss from your cheeks, not even bothering to hide it from Alica. You’re not entirely sure what was Jessy’s history with her aside from Normy here. But what you’re sure of is your girlfriend has a massive jealous streak.
You have come to know that for the first week you have known her. And if blonde here has known Jessy far more than you have, then she better know that the redhead is ready to bury her alive right now.
“What the fuck is that, Ali?” Norman was the first to react, glaring at you and his girlfriend.
“Chill out, hon. I was just–“
“We’re leaving.” Jessy cuts off curtly, pulling you away from the scene. She stopped in what you assumed to be a hallway to the comfort room. Pulling out a handkerchief and a bottle of alcohol, she began to dab the piece of cloth to your cheeks. “I’m going to kill her.”
You laughed quietly, “I bet you do.”
She furrowed her eyebrow but remained quiet as she finished the job. She even sprayed her perfume on your shirt as if to wipe any trace of the blonde in you. Or she’s probably marking you. Or both. In any case, you didn’t mind.
Your heart pounded as you raised your hands to cup her cheeks. Your thumb begins to stroke her cheek in a delicate manner, and your eyes wander around her face. You are now faced with the woman you have badly missed to the point it physically gives you pain just by thinking about it. You took your time to admire her face, now up close for the first time in how many months of not seeing it.
She looked a bit thinner. Up close, you can see the effects of the situation that fell upon her— the bags under her eyes due to spending sleepless nights and the worry lines starting to form on her forehead. But in your eyes, you have never seen such beauty. She still looked beautiful, nonetheless. She was still your Jessy.
“Sorry,” you murmured. You didn’t emphasize what for. Do you even need to?
Sorry for leaving. Sorry for keeping you in the dark. Sorry for hurting you.
But none of those came close to what left your lips.
“Sorry, I let her kiss me. I shouldn’t have–”
The laugh that escaped her lips was soft and rich. Her breath tingled against your cheeks as she leaned her forehead against yours, her arms secured around your neck. You knew then that she knows what you were apologizing for and it’s sure as hell not about letting Alica kiss you.
“Apparently, that woman just really likes stealing people I love. I suppose you’re not an exemption.”
“Hmm, so she was the girl.” It wasn’t a question, but rather a realization.
“Uhuh.” Jessy is a lot closer now, lips barely an inch that if you leaned a little closer you would be kissing her. Her fingers played with the baby hairs at the back of your neck making your breath hitched. And judging by the little smirk on her lips, you knew damn well she knows her effect on you. “I’m still mad at you.” She whispers and you note the faint smell of alcohol on her breath.
“I know.” You whispered just as quietly. “Let me make it up to you.”
“How so?” A dashing smirk spreads across her features, and for a moment, your eyes drift mindlessly toward her unsuspecting lips, loving the way they curl up in a low grin. At this point, the resistance to kiss her lips would probably be a battle already lost.
So you did.
You pecked her cheeks first, another one on the corner of her mouth, and then the other one for good measure. Peppering her kisses nonstop if you could. She can only laugh softly at your antics, loving the attention you give her.
And because your always motto is "to save the best for last" you took your precious time laying a long, slow kiss full on her lips. Her hands were eager to mess with your hair, deepening the kiss. You can feel the heat rising on your skin, her touches leaving trails of fire.
Not satisfied with the proximity, you pulled her closer. You even made your way to flip your positions, now pinning the redhead against the wall and a solid chest.
Her grip on your shirt tightens in such a way that she wants to pull it off you. At the back of your mind, you were aware that someone could walk in on you two almost eating each other's faces but you're usually clumsy brain was now foggier than you could remember as you were so busy latching your mouth against her neck and feeling Jessy tilting them to the side to give you better access. Her scent, warmth, and kisses consume you ent—
“Y/n?” You and Jessy froze. That was Phil’s voice!
The urgency in his voice was enough to cleanse your hazy mind, and without the overwhelming thoughts about your girlfriend which you may not guarantee wouldn't go past what is deemed to be inexplicit, you can now hear his voice clearer against the blasting music.
You only got a few seconds to detach yourself from a disappointed and irritated Jessy and fix your hair which she seems to love to mess with.
Despite the initial annoyance, the redhead still managed to have the audacity to flash you an amusing grin as she couldn't take her eyes off your already swollen lips, seemingly satisfied with her creation. And it's not like she's any better.
Sure, her hair's fine, but her lips are a bit bruised, too and there are patches of redness forming on the side of her neck courtesy of your mouth.
When Phil finally arrived inside the room, you managed to act like you were fixing your hair whilst Jessy was trying to fix her lipstick. From his point of view, it looks like you two were having the usual conversation and not shoving each other’s tongues down your throats five seconds ago.
"Did I interrupt something?" He questioned smugly, wanting to tease you but you weren't having any of it. You were too flustered to even function properly now.
"No," was Jessy’s quick reply, not trusting you to answer. She barely managed to hide her smile behind her own mirror.
Phil looks like he doesn’t believe that obvious lie and was excited to turn to you. "Man, you should have seen the pussy-ass bitch Normy and his girlfriend arguing at the parking lot. He was like ‘why the fuck did you kissed a random stranger?’ and Alica was like ‘Is it my fault Y/n is hot?’ and then he was like–" He wasn't able to continue his story as Jessy’s glare was so sharp, that it can dissect a living creature.
Her eyebrows were raised to the fullest and her gaze was unwavering, challenging her own brother to continue his story to the extent that she wouldn’t like where it would head.
If your blood earlier had rushed towards your cheeks, it now had drained the color on your face and you're practically choking on your own spit for the second time this night.
"– and I just want to say your drinks are ready. That's all." He finishes lamely.
You knew that's not what he was trying to say, but to save his life and maybe yours from the redhead’s wrath, he knew better than to continue his story.
"Oh, and Y/n?" You perked up from your sudden faux interest to the flickering sign of the comfort room down the hallway. Phil’s smirk returned full blast. "You got a little something here,” he motioned his fingers to his lips. “See you!"
Your hand flew faster than when Phil bolted out to grab Jessy’s mirror.
And to your horror, a thin line of smeared lipstick was visible at your bottom lip. It wasn’t noticeable enough to catch someone’s attention, but it is sure as hell noticeable enough for the likes of Phil. And he wouldn’t need to put two and two together to even know what you were doing earlier with his sister.
Jessy’s laughter came rumbling across your chest as she pulled you closer again.
And boy, you were right.
Tonight’s going to be a long night.
But you wouldn’t have it any other way.
