BAKARI released a faint laugh at her snarky rebuttal. he knew his statements would crawl under her skin, as a matter of fact, getting under her skin was his favorite pastime. he felt his eyes roll to the back of his head at the citing of her familiarity with the sport. it was just like REMY to throw her privileged upbringing in his face. “since you’re so confident in your skills, how ‘bout we set a bet?” now things were getting interesting. BAKARI slowly began making his way near her direction with his ski poles securely wrapped around his palms. the frigid stings of thin snow alighted upon him in his voyage toward the femme. although, their trip had been nothing short of spectacular, BAKARI was just as eager to leave these wintry conditions as he was to arrive. “if i make it to the resort before you, you have to do whatever i say, no matter how extreme or outta pocket.”
’ you’re for real this excited to eat shit in the water ? ’ skiing was another past time for her whether it was over snow or water was irrelevant . what she’d always possessed was an unrealistic vantage of the world , confused why other people weren’t the same . ’ i’ve been doing this since i old enough to stand up by myself . you sure you don’t wanna back down so i won’t have to show you up ? ’

“girl, don't be so melodramatic!” SYMONE wasn’t sure if this was a friendly get together, or a genuine date, either way she had a wonderful night with the other and didn't want it to end. “i told you i forgot my card in the car. you knew i'd come back.” SYMONE handed the waitress her credit card, turning to face LAUREL shortly after. “so what’s next?”
“you don’t have to be sorry for leaving. i’ve told you before, i’m used to it.” she shrugged. “we just weren’t made to last, i guess.”

“i get whatcha mean.” there was no mistaken that cadence from any other region except louisiana, his accent always gave him away. RAYMOND appreciated TYLA’s advice. he had a habit of giving others the benefit of the doubt but would invariably regret it shortly thereafter. RAYMOND sighed. his faith in humanity dwindling with every second of every day. “guess i gotta harden my heart now, huh?”

“today might be the day you change that.” BAKARI got the impression that REMY might have assumed he was bluffing, but was dead serious about water skiing. “don’t tell me you scared?” he said, teasingly. “all your big talk and now you wanna chicken out? you’re too predictable, REM.”

and so it began. EMERY inched closer causing her fragrance to travel into their nostrils, NOA took a mental note of the notes, and recognized the scent as her favorite fragrance. truth be told NOA really didn't need that much convincing, but they loved watching her beg for something that could easily be handed to them. vulnerability was all she wanted from the femme. EMERY was so caught up in her ‘i don't need anyone’ façade that she never fully let NOA in. at first NOA didn't mind those guarded walls — shit, she had them too! but after a while they became a burden. no matter how hard they fought to demolish those walls, EMERY would have them rebuilt by the next time they saw each other again. " and how do you plan on doing that?" a flirty smirk crossed their lips following the question. her arms snaked around her waist as though they had a mind of their own. staring into those mahogany eyes, NOA knew she had them right where she wanted them.
trying to read noa was a lot harder than the femme thought. it could be because she wasn't computing noa's words or the fact it wasn't going the way she had thought. bold of her to believe her delusional thoughts rather than to let things play out the way theyre supposed to. " noa i haven't been so sure about anything in my entire life." and this was coming from someone who had been nothing but independent for as long as she could remember. emery wasn't the one to trust very easily but she trusted noa. she took a step forward to the other. " my feelings have always been there but i didn't think they were real like that until i saw you with someone else." she let out a soft chuckle as she shook her head. " give me a chance to prove it to you."

closed starter for @driptape | inspired by: x.
the dissolution of their marriage was an enormous disgrace to the DENNIS clan. so much time and money had been deducted on their nuptials, only for them to be divorced in the span of fourteen months. no amount of i'm sorry's or gifts could undo the damage he had caused. being in the public eye had its highs and lows, right now ALI was experiencing the lowest low a person in his profession could undergo. TRINA BROWN ANNOUNCE DIVORCE TEN MONTHS AFTER STAR STUDDED WEDDING, read the headline that shattered his world. he was in the middle of his radio show when the news broke, it was an embarrassment and huge blow to his ego when he learned about it live on the air, but he couldn't blame her.
ALI sat three rows behind his ex-wife at the academy awards awaiting the results for best actress; a category for which she had been nominated for. he caught a glimpse of her, his mind traveling back to their very first encounter.
the king of wands, the tower, and lovers in reversed: the cards dealt to him the night that they met. minutes before bumping into each other, ALI found himself in a fortune-teller booth, courtesy of his younger sister — who had been into that sort of thing — getting his fortune read. he took every word with a grain of salt, but quickly grew uncomfortable when the woman fervently began warning him about an alleged troubled future. ALI wasted no time exiting the booth, and that was when he accidentally ran into her. and, from that moment on, nothing was the same. they were doomed from the very beginning.
“and the oscar goes to . . . TRINA BROWN!”
he thought by attending the award ceremony with his latest distraction, he would prove to her — and the world — that he had officially moved on from the humiliation of that moment. he was wrong. seeing TRINA again only made him realize how much he still loved her and how much he wished the circumstances were different. in the end it was all his fault for dishonoring their vows, for not taking them seriously, especially the forsaking all others part.

being with other people wasn't fun either. NOA had yet to find someone who could replicate the energy EMERY produced. she had a certain je ne sais quoi about her that was a struggle to find - despite their efforts. “mad at you?” as much as NOA wanted to put on this tough guy persona deep down her words pulled at their heartstrings. “i'm more so confused than angry.” was NOA suppose to dismantle her other relationships in order to secure EMERY's heart? would they be able to sustain these new emotions or would they slowly fade into obscurity once a label was slapped on their situation. “i am relieved! but i'm also conflicted. it's not like we haven't been here before, i want you to be a hundred percent sure about your feelings, before making a permanent decision.”
emery couldn't blame noa for their reaction but at the same time it was surprising. she had thought noa would be happy or excited that emery finally decided to make her decision as to why she wanted between them. it was always push and pull because emery didn't want anything between them until she found the time to think about it. " really noa?" a soft scoff escaped her lips. " you mad at me ? isn't this what you wanted? for me to choose you and to want you despite what you and i were doing?" there were boundaries that were set. it was just meant to be fun between them but there were obvious feelings involved, even though emery tried so hard to make sure there was nothing there. " i thought you would be happy. maybe even relieved that we could be moving forward together. all i wanted to do was be with you but i couldn't be in the moment. it was supposed to be fun but seeing you with other people isn't fun."

continued: x.
a visual of their kitchen swiftly penetrated his thoughts at her inquiry. “takeout it is!” came his response as he gestured for his phone. “your last attempt at cooking had us cleaning that kitchen for two hours!” a hearty laugh followed his statement, his digits dialing the nearest japanese restaurant. JASMINE was skilled in many areas, but when it came to the kitchen, KORI was the culinary expert. “but thanks for the suggestion babe.” KORI had recently taken a strong liking to asian cuisine, he couldn't think of a better way to end their night, than by sharing a meal he knew they'd both enjoy. "it'll probably take some time to get here though." he noted. “what would you like? a chicken teriyaki bowl or a sushi sashimi combo?”

“nah, you're absolutely right,” he assured. "it's nice to finally meet you!" he took two steps forward with an arm extended before him. “i'm AMARI.” it felt good to finally know who she was. he thought about capturing her attention in the past but always went against it. the moment never seemed right.
"Hm?" Rockelle heard a voice as she was going into her apartment then blinks when she sees who it is. Her face started to heat up and she chuckles. "I dont have a personal vendetta against you love! I am just...shy when it comes to meeting new people." She answers honestly. "Besides, you could have gotten my attention by speaking first." She teases and chuckles. "Rockelle. Whats your name neighbor?"

KORI nodded, it made perfect sense, spending quality time with JASMINE had become the highlight of his evenings. he spent his mornings undergoing intense physical training to maintain his bodily appearance as well as improve his strength and endurance. by early midday, he was expected to practice with his team in preparation for an effective play on game day. KORI considered himself a dedicated player; he devoted most of his time to mastering all aspects of the game, and when you're the team captain, you had no choice but to be the best. being the leader of a team could be frustrating at times, and no one understood that better than JASMINE. as an educator, it was her job to monitor her students, whether that meant maintaining a positive learning environment, implementing curriculum, or making behavior modifications. the instant those students entered her classroom, it was all on her to set the tone of the entire room. in his eyes their roles were not dissimilar. after an entire day of supervising and correcting, it felt nice to unwind alone in the comfort of their home, free from occupational responsibilities. “i know exactly what you mean,” he replied, wrapping an arm around her shoulders as they watched the sunset.
