It was dark out. Cold. Octavia almost wished she smoked just so she had some reason to still be standing outside after shutting the trunk of her car. The groceries were sitting on the counter, the trash filled up to the brim and begging to go out. She had things to do and yet she resisted walking back in, lest she be faced with her mother and her bad attitude. Drinking made her unbearable, but not drinking made her meaner, so grouchy that Tavvy felt like she was walking on eggshells around her. 

Leaning against her car, her gaze travelled over the home across the street from theirs, a house that was familiar to her. She didn’t mean to stare, the wind brushing her hair into her face as she pushed it away. She also hadn’t expected anyone to come out, but the sight of a familiar face gave her pause. Maybe she should have scurried back inside faster, but instead her mouth moved before her brain could consider what she was doing. “Allie! Hey.” She paused, as she heard her words ringing in her ears, her smile awkward as she waved. “I didn’t know if you were still... I didn’t expect to see you. Hi.”

maybe octavia was just tipsy, but, she couldn’t help but notice a certain look in their eye that made her wonder. the words came out before she could even think to stop herself and avoid looking stupid. “are you flirting with me?”

“i don’t wanna keep doing this.” octavia’s voice came out softly, her eyes avoiding ronnie’s desperately. she felt sick, sitting there on the front steps of the townhouse they’d both just walked out of. the night air was chilly, making the tip of her nose cold as she folded her arms, bent into herself. “i just feel like every time we figure it out and things are good... we’re always like this again. do you even want to be with me?”

“i said i would come. i don’t like breaking promises.”

“you don’t have to be so nice to me, y’know. i don’t want you to feel obligated, or anything...”

“i didn’t know you were going out... i actually made breakfast, but um...” octavia smiled, ever the people pleaser. “it’s totally cool. i can put it in the fridge, maybe?”

“what the fuck?!” octavia rarely cursed like this, but she’d almost jumped out of her skin closing the fridge to see them there. “don’t do that!” she was immediately pouting, clutching her beer tighter in her hand.

“i’m not like you.” collapsing back on the bed dramatically, octavia pouted at the ceiling. “i’m not confident enough to try moves like that out. i can barely make sustained eye contact, let alone be all suave and flirty and then stick my tongue down someone’s throat. i don’t even know what that looks like.”
