[sparksonfire]

”..I take back everything I said. Here’s a statement free of sarcasm, sweetheart. You’re a judgmental asshole who needs to get your british ass out of my city, or at least out of my way — before I make you.” Narrowing her eyes at the high and mighty distasteful being before her, Katherine stood her ground despite the well thought out insults he was throwing her way. They should’ve struck a nerve, and maybe they did. But Katherine was far too smart for that. “Having that exact opinion of me, and of the way the city runs in general, is exactly what makes you unfit to live here. You’re an outsider, darling. You’ll never fit in. Harsh reality, I know. But at least you can be warned of keeping your invalid opinions to yourself! I mean, the fact that you think you know me, or how anything works around here, astounds me and amazes me at the very same time. I’ll give you a little tip, handsome, considering I’m such a kindhearted person.. choose wisely, think intelligently, or you’ll be sure to get in the trouble I bet you deserve. Let’s face it, you’re bound to fall flat on your ass here anyway.. I can sense it. Oh well, I’m sure it’ll be quite the show.” Checking out her fresh manicure, studying each and every nail before sticking her tongue out in a look of disgust at the one person she wanted to rip the most. “You’re sorely mistaken. I’m the greatest challenge there is in this city, but that’s your downfall in misjudging me. And if you honestly think I’d sleep with you, you can add deluded to the rest of those pathetic qualities you have. I wouldn’t touch you with a ten foot pole if someone paid me.” 

[aidencarver]

"Out of your way? I'm sorry, you're the one who began talking to me, if anything I should be telling you to leave." He laughed at the girl. Aiden had come by women like her - the ones who felt so mighty, and rode around on their high horse, when they didn't deserve to. It was pathetic, but boy was this a fun game to play. "Unfit to live here? Please do us all a favor and get that big head out from the clouds, and open those dilated eyes of yours. You're in New York, Las. Which means this place is a melting pot for all different types of people. And I'll have you know, I would much rather stand out than fit in. Life is boring if you're too fit to live somewhere. The way I see it, me being different means I bring something to the table. What do you bring? A nasty personality, and awful hair? You're in your prime now, so I understand why your ego is larger than life - but once high school ends for you sweetheart, you'll be tossed the side because you're not worth a damn thing to those people. You're a good fuck for now, but once every starts to grow up, and you stay the same age, which I'm assuming is like twelve, given how you've gotten so defensive, people will realize that you just aren't that important. So really, if anyone is going to be falling on their arse, it will be you. I'm just hoping I'm there to watch it happen, because damn that will be one hell of a sight." Aiden continued as he stepped forward, offered her a wide set grin, and walked past her.. Shoving her a tad bit in the process. "Keep telling yourself that, while you wreak of alcohol and cheap motel sex. Have fun fucking pretty much everyone in this city. Oh wait, I'm sure you've already done that. Damn, I wonder how loose a gal like you is. But hey, at least we agree on something, because having sex with you, would be like through a hot dog down a hallway. I'd be drowning.. and I just can't do that. Hope you enjoy your life while it lasts, love. There aren't many more years in store for ya." 

[sparksonfire]

"Who says I was being sarcastic, sweets?" An unamused laugh escaped her lips as she paused for a moment or two, before responding to him. God, he was intriguing. “You know, I was almost offended. Almost. But then I realised, either you don’t know the definition of what fun is around here, and I can see why you’ve lost hope with everyone ‘round here. Or, you’re that judgmental prick with a broken past who only goes for the.. less challenging girls because they prove easy and require no effort. Anything more and you run for the hills. Have I hit a nerve yet?”

[aidencarver]

"Your pretentious tone, that's who." Aiden rolled his eyes at the girl - studying her features as she continued on through a rampage as if she knew the insides and outsides of who the real Aiden Carver was. Of course, she had no idea, which was normal. Few knew who he was. Which is why he began laughing at her final question - shaking his head because she couldn't have been more wrong. "Ah, you are a confident one, aren't ya, lassie? Well now that you've shut that hole in your face, let me begin to explain. I know what fun is. However, your definition of fun clearly differs from my own. How could it not, though? You're probably into the whole, parading around the city as if you know anything and everything there is to know about life, and those around you. I can tell by this conversation that you're conceited, high maintenance, and you give yourself way too much credit. Credit that isn't well deserved, I might add. That is why, I hold no interest in you. Sure, I bet you're a great fuck, and who knows, we will probably end up ripping one another's clothes off, regardless of all this, because that's just who we are. But let's get one thing straight. I like women who are a challenge... but you? You're no challenge. You only pretend to be. Now, have I hit a nerve?"

you catch a lot of flies with honey, but you catch more honeys being fly

[sparksonfire]

"Well, aren’t you quite the charmer?" Pausing, she took a good, confident sweep of the entirety of his being before bringing her gaze back to his eyes. "You’re lucky I’m into assholes. Especially handsome ones. All the more fun.”

[aidencarver]

"I'd cut back on the sarcasm, because that statement is one hundred percent true." He smirked, not being the slightest bit phased by what she had to say. This was going to be fun. "Well thanks for the compliment, love, but I'm not all that interested in what sorts of fun you're thinking about." 

[sparksonfire]

"Yes, I’m alive. I survived the storm. Piece of cake if you ask me, aside from the whole spraining the ankle—but no doctor will stop me from wearing heels.”

[aidencarver]

"I'm sorry, but I don't believe I asked you, nor do I give a rats ass that you'll be walking around like a damn slut on heels. Congrats though."

After Hours ♦ Vanessa, Ruby and Aiden {Blackout Event}

[vanessabramss-deactivated201503]

Well, there went Vanessa’s concentration and will to study. She hadn’t seen Aiden since their date—if it could even be called that—and she wasn’t exactly sure what to think of him just yet. Yes, he was pretty damn good looking and quite entertaining, but he also seemed just as stubborn as she was and that in itself should’ve been enough of a warning for Vanessa. But for some god forsaken reason, Vanessa was also glad to see the older boy. She wasn’t going to make him aware of that, though, so instead of welcoming him with a smile, she rolled her eyes at his words. “Don’t ever use that nickname again.” She warned him. When he sat down on the opposite of him, Vanessa sent him a glare, before looking back down in her text book. If she ignored him, then he would get the hint. Probably. “You give yourself too much credit.” Vanessa replied, not removing her gaze from her book. “And here I was thinking that you’re different from the Upper East Siders…my bad.” She added, at this point only pretending to be reading. His presence was all Vanessa’s mind could focus on, and that in itself enraged her. “So, what are you doing here, if I may ask? Stalking freshman girls?”

[aidencarver]

This was going to be much more entertaining then teasing with a few freshmen girls he had never come by before. Vanessa was a spitfire, someone who was snarky and bold - and that's what he liked. She posed a challenge to Aiden, one he planned on succeeding at, no matter how difficult she would be. Thus, he relaxed back in his seat just a bit, making it clear he had no intention of leaving her or their conversation any time soon. "What? You're not a fan of the name?" He teased, tilting his chair back so it was balancing on just two feet. Everyone in New York always seemed to get offended by his nicknames, which only left him more inclined to use them. Especially on someone like her. "No, I don't think I give myself enough credit. Don't act like I am not great. You loved our date, didn't you?" At least, he knew he did. "Please, I am different, and you know damn well I am. Name one other Upper East Sider that is like me. If you can't, then you own me another date." Though he was sorta sure she would agree to another one anyway. Vanessa may have put up a good fight, but he was confident that she liked him just as much as he liked her. "Ouch, you peg me for some desperate asshole, and though I may be an asshole, I assure you, I am not desperate enough to go after such a younger crowd." 

Aiden then began twirling with the pen he had grabbed from the center of the table. Bouncing back and forth from the ground, and into the air with his chair as he looked at the pen. After a moment passed by, Aiden's view then moved upward - dancing across the library before him. Sure he had fun looking at the freshman girls, might even ask one of them out if they gave him a reason to. But he was much more interested in the girl in front of him. - Actually, make that two girls. As Aiden continued to look around the room, he noticed yet another familiar face in such a small place. "Ruby!" He yelled over, trying to grab her attention, though he wasn't exactly allowed to be yelling in a library. Not that Aiden cared, he sorta did what he wanted, when he wanted. And if he wanted to take a stab at juggling two women he was into, at once, then hell, he would do it.

After Hours ♦ Vanessa and Aiden {Blackout Event}

She wouldn’t like to admit it, but truth was, Vanessa had been slacking with her homework and school in general. She had been caught up with work and friends, always running around somewhere, and that had got the best of her. It was a given that school should be a priority, and Vanessa was usually very rational and responsible, but in the past two weeks her mind had been on anything but school. Therefore, having no other choice, the brunette decided to spend her Friday night catching up on her homework and reading for school in hopes that she could get back on track sooner than later. Constance was a very competitive school and mistakes weren’t forgivable, so Vanessa knew better than to simply put this off and continue procrastinating.

Once she arrived at the school, Vanessa was relieved to find that she wasn’t the only one at the library, otherwise this whole scenario would’ve been straight out of a horror film. There were several girls around her age that were most likely here for the same reason as Vanessa, and she chose to sit as far away as possible from them so she could have some privacy and be left in peace. At first it was hard to concentrate and everything bothered her, but after about twenty minutes, her brain was slowly starting to focus on what she was reading, ignoring the rest of her surroundings. Soon enough, Vanessa was so caught up in the text book before her that she didn’t even notice someone approach her table, so when she rose her head to look up at whoever was hovering, Vanessa almost jumped out of her chair. “What the hell are you doing here?” She asked Aiden in a hushed tone, her eyes widening. It was an understatement to say that she was surprised to see him of all people at the library. “And don’t you know it’s freaking rude to sneak up on people? You almost gave me a heart attack.”

[aidencarver]

A small smirk formed across the older man's face as he found himself walking up toward the infamous school on the Upper East Side. Coming here on a Friday afternoon was the last thing he wanted to do, but Aiden was told to drop a few things off to one of the matt teachers, and since it was for work, he had no choice. But this also posed as a good thing for him. See, in Aiden's mind.. Walking into Constances, an all girl preparatory school meant he had an entire pool of fresh pickings that he would certainly take advantage of. It probably made him out to be a complete asshole, but he didn't care. This was who Aden was, it was made him feel better about himself, since his father did such a wonderful job at destroying any ounce of confidence he ever had. Plus, how could he pass up such an opportunity to spend the night with one of New York's finest? 

Thus, after glancing up at the school for a moment, Aiden finally mustered up to motions to head inside. He strolled around the place for awhile, until finding who he was looking for. But Aiden wasn't about to leave after his work there was done. He figured this was an excuse to hang around for a bit - familiarizing himself with the confined walls. After wandering around for a little, Aiden finally found himself inside the library. There were a few girls surrounding a single table, and when he passed them, Aiden, of course, shot them a simple wink, and waited for their hearts to melt. God, he was such a pretentious dick, and it was exactly how he liked it. However, after looking away from them, Aiden caught sight of a familiar face. Vanessa.. The girl who's skin he loved to get under. It was no surprise he then walked up to her, towering above her until he finally caught her attention. - At her words, Aiden then laughed, and shook his head. "Easy, lassie. Didn't mean to give you a fright." He began to speak before sitting down across from her. "Right, it was me sneaking up on you that almost gave you a heart attack. - You sure it's not just the fact that you get to see me again?"

I love playing really strung out characters, and characters that are really pushed to their limits and losing their mind. I think that’s wonderful. To be able to lose it, in many ways, is just great fun to do.

[ladyaltheda]

Ooh, you underestimate me. I can’t say I’ve heard of Brighton. What gives you that impression? I’ve actually been told I have a very convincing accent.

[aidencarver]

Well you make it so easy, love. No? Well you are definitely missing out, that's for sure. Really? Well then give me what you got... Let me hear your best British accent.

I remember the way y o u used to dance Then I remember that you w e will n e v e r dance again

[piperlaine-blog]

Everything stopped. Her heart, her breathing, her ability to remember how to breathe.. her very thought process. Everything stopped because he’d broken the seal of their moment in time. A moment in which they were caught within a sea of people rushing around them, a moment of pure and utter nostalgia. A moment of remembering someone who had impacted your life in such a way that left you unable to think straight. A moment of pure shock; but most of all.. a moment of being completely, and utterly, consumed in the way the other made one feel. Aiden had punctured their moment to run, and all with the simple utter of hey. Perhaps it was in her head, that despite standing only a few feet away, she’d simply thought she’d heard him say it to her. Because Piper could see the complete and utter surprise in his features over having done so, the very same surprise she was experiencing right now. It took her a moment or two to conjure up the thought to respond, but with a simple smile, a wave of her hand.. Piper didn’t know what else to do. Was she to walk up to him, take a stroll down memory lane? Or was she to take the other fork in the road, forget about this moment and hope for them to never run into one another again.. seconds later, she found herself doing what she most desired, what came most naturally, what fell under complete and utter temptation. She walked over to him—courageous in doing so because the entirety of her core was wrecked with overwhelmingly strong nerves—and found herself conversing with someone she just thought to be a memory. “Hey..” Wow, no.. no, no no no no. This is so wrong? "I thought I was seeing things and then.. I guess it really is you. What.. what are you doing here?" Piper stared at him for what seemed like several long moments, literally wondering how he could possibly have looked better than she remembered. Unless, of course, it wasn’t him at all.. and in her drunken stupor she had imagined him like the complete stranger she was talking to now. But that wasn’t possible, purely because Piper knew that magnetism between them all too well. "Whoa, what am I doing.. I’m sorry. My head’s all over the place. Uh—how are you?!" Walk. Away. Now.

[aidencarver]

What was he thinking? The moment Aiden spoken up to the brunette, who was feet away from him, he felt the world crumble around him. He had broken the ice - shattered the wall that had been built around his heavy heart.. a heart that longed so passionately for her. God he wished he could think straight, but in this moment, Aiden had faded into an alternate universe - one where they were the only two there, but here, Aiden had no idea what to say. How could he? This unnamed girl had been the single most impacting person in his life - his silver lining. She was the one person who brought him back to life, and yet.. he felt so vulnerable around her. She weakened him in ways he didn't understand, and that's what had him running for the hills. Aiden Carver had been brought up unloved, but with her around, love was all he could think about. At least, it was his idea of it. He didn't exactly know what love was, having never seen it before, but when Aiden looked deep into her darkly painted hues, he saw what he believed to be the one feeling everyone demanded to feel. It came so natural when he looked at her.. The feeling had consumed him from the moment he met her a year ago, to this moment now. But how? How was it that someone like Aiden could even find it within him to feel this way? She held such power over him.. and he didn't understand why. What made the entire situation worse, however, was that moments after he spoke up, the girl was headed in his direction. Slow motion strides were taken until she was only inches away - so close he could almost touch her, and he wanted to too. God how he missed the feel of her.. Her skin, her lips, everything. She was so intoxicating, that it was almost impossible to hold his composure when standing so close to the girl. "Hi." He repeated again, mentally killing himself on the inside for doing so. "I mean..." Aiden began to shake his head, trying not to come across as an idiot in from of her. But he was sure she already thought that - and it was this same thought process that left her own jumbled words going unnoticed. "What? Uh.." He then took a deep breath in, trying to answer her questions though it was incredibly hard to do so. "I... l-live here..." God he was a fool - he was such an idiot for acting this way, but she left him feeling like mush. He had no control when it came to this one girl. "I'm... good." No you're not, you're terrible, run... FAST. "How.. how are you? It's, um.. you know.. been awhile."

 I don’t trust assholes.

[aidencarver]

Good thing I'm not an asshole then, huh?

[madeofhumanity-deactivated20150]

Perhaps? What are you talking about? I may or may not be interested in what you have to say.

[aidencarver]

May or may not? No I'm pretty sure you're very interested. I'm just saying that you should work on your skills with the ladies, or gentlemen, if you prefer it. You know, I could help you, if you'd like. 

[aidencarver]

Well then, thank you. Wow, did you now? I’m proud of you, then. It’s a weight lifted off of my shoulders knowing that because now I don’t have to worry about my foot after I’d kick you in the balls if you weren’t to treat me like the human that I am. That’s very true, Aiden, except not when I’m involved. See, because I rarely lose also, so when I say something, chances are, that’s how it’s going to be. Fine, fine, I believe you, whatever. Can we get that coffee now?

Ouch, I definitely dodged a bullet there then, didn't I? But question, who's to say that you won't mistreat me? You women always say it's the men here who aren't so nice, but you're just as capable of being rude, as I am. Is that so? Well I think you may have met your match. I put up a pretty good fight, so please, bring your A game. Now you want a coffee, ay? Alright, come on... Only took us about five hours to get you to agree. 

[theroseprodigy-deactivated20150]

Well, for someone who “doesn’t swing that way” maybe you should avoid flirting with people the same gender. Just an advice. I’ll gladly go for coffee, though, pretty face.

[aidencarver]

Excuse me? Sorry, chap, but are you that full of yourself, or just plain stupid? Because I can promise you, I wasn't flirting. I was asking if you wanted to go for a coffee, not asking for your damn hand in marriage. Get over yourself, will ya? 

[queenxblair-deactivated20150201]

"Stop walking around like a headless cockroach." Doe eyes sparkled as Blair glared in an impatient manner at one of her minions. "I suggest you to hush your mouth and do as I told you." She turned her back on the girl to dismiss any further discussion on the subject. "Now — can anyone get me an actual coffee instead of this McDonalds liquid for people with poor taste?"

[aidencarver]

A brow rose into the air as Aiden caught a glimpse of someone bossing around another, from the corner of his eye. He was slightly impressed by her ability to take control of someone's actions, but her whiny nature caused him to role his eyes as he walked along the sidewalk beside them. "God, you're a whiny one, aren't ya?" He commented as he twisted around to look at her. "Perhaps you could get off your lazy ass and do it yourself? That's always an option, you know."
