nimble  fingers  hovered  over  the  selection  of  food  before  picking  up  whatever  looked  most  appealing  ,  and  at  the  moment  ,  it  was  the  watermelon  .  willow  wasn’t  sure  if  she  would  succumb  to  cravings  like  everyone  else  did  during  pregnancy  ,  but  lo  and  behold  ,  she  had  .  watermelon  was  one  of  the  many  random  food  items  she  had  recently  grown  obsessed  with  ,  the  need  often  waking  her  up  in  the  middle  of  the  night  ,  forcing  her  to  peel  herself  out  of  bed  and  practically  take  up  full  time  residency  in  the  kitchen  .  “  always  a  little  grumpy  ,  but  it’s  cute  .  ”  she  shrugged  ,  taking  a  bite  of  the  red  fruit  before  staring  over  at  him  ,  full  lips  darkening  with  the  juices  .  “  me  ?  ”  she  questioned  ,  brows  furrowed  in  thought  .  she  didn’t  exactly  want  to  focus  their  conversation  on  herself  ,  something  she  often  avoided  ,  but  she  wasn’t  confident  her  attempts  to  stir  the  conversation  elsewhere  would  prove  successful  .  “  what  about  me  ?  it’s  not  like  you  don’t  know  what’s  happening  with  me  .  it’s  everywhere  ,  i  don’t  think  i’ve  gotten  two  seconds  without  being  reminded  what’s  happening  in  my  world  .  ”  she  sighed  ,  energy  deflating  a  bit  from  her  tone  .  “  it’s  true  ,  ya  know  ,  what  they  said  about  me  .  all  of  it  .  the  only  thing  they  forget  to  mention  is  how  fuckin’  scared  out  of  my  mind  i  am  about  everything  .  ” 

he picked at the small piece of apple in his hands , nervousness overcoming him . “ it’s not personal , I think it’s a writer thing . you’ll find none of us are very pleasant people . ” alex listened to her carefully , taking in all the words she said . he found himself blinking slowly at her , carefully calculating how to go about this particular topic . “ I kind of thought it wasn’t true ... so you’re keeping it then ? ” instantly regretting the question , he snapped his eyes away , a sigh slipping passed his lips . “ I’m just surprised . we never , you know ... I didn’t think you were that type of girl . ” the cruel words came easily to him , even he could admit that he was jealous that she’d allowed another man to have her in ways alex never would . he had made sure to keep his distance , but slowly moved his hand closer to hers , in a way as to not to bring her attention until she could feel his pinky finger brushing against hers . his attempt at comforting her , as a small part of him cared about the fear she was feeling , something he simply couldn’t allow himself to do . “ how could you get caught up in such a mess ? ” anger was beginning to rise to the surface again , hitting every raw nerve . it wouldn’t be fair to question willow on her decisions , but he wasn’t sure how much longer he would be able to bite his tongue .

              dainty  fingers  delicately  grip  the  glass  that  held  the  concoction  she  just  whipped  up  for  herself  .  a  moscow  mule  ,  minus  the  mule  cup  ,  the brunette  grew  impatient  with  finding  her  way  around  the  kitchen  and  settled  on  the  first  glassware  she came  acrosss  .  she  raises  the  glass  to  glossed  lips  ,  taking  a  sip  &  grinning  ,  proud  of  her  craft  .  her  neat  brow  cocks  as  she  feels  a  figure  lurking  ,  glaring  .  ‘  staring  isn’t  polite ,  y’know . ’  she  turns  to peer  at  the  other  ,  drink  raised  to  her  lips  once  again  for  another  sip . 

this was exactly the person he had been searching for . he needed a sense of certainty & control within all the chaos . he leaned against the cool , hard surface of the bench , a smirk playing on his lips . “ you know I can’t help it . ” he had this girl wrapped around his finger , that was one thing he knew for sure . for a moment , he desired to question whether she should be drinking whatever it was in her cup , but he decided against it . his feelings for this girl only went to a certain extent , & he wasn’t about to involve himself in her issues . instead , he made his way over to her , wrapping an arm around her delicate waist as his free hand took the cup from her . he took a sip of chloe’s creation , vodka dancing on the tip of his tongue . it was a bad habit of hers , but she knew how to make a mean drink . “ I was wondering where you got to . are you avoiding me ? ” his head tilted , a certain sparkle in his eye as he questioned the girl .

 he  needed  a  distraction.    something  to  get  his  mind  off  of  everything.    so    ,    he’s  in  the  kitchen  acting  like  he’s  not  TERRIBLE  at  cooking.    but  he’s  following  the  ingredients  and  the  procedure  perfectly    ,    trying  so  hard  not  to  mess  this  up.    first  few  nights  in  the  mansion    &    he  tries  to  poison  everyone    ?    not  what  he  was  going  for.    decided  cooking  dinner  for  an  entire  house  of  known  -  names  was  too  much  work  so  he  settled  on  cookies.    seemed  easy  enough    ,    until  the  first  batch  comes  out  burnt.    it’s  fine    !    he’s  practically  staring  down  the  oven  like  it  hurt  him  when  someone  joins  him  in  the  kitchen.    ❛    don’t  eat  those  ones.    they’re  burnt.    i’m  hoping  these  ones  don’t  burn  but  i’m  just  not  meant  to  be  a  baker.    i  can  act  and  model  but  my  genes  said  i  will  not  make  edible  baked  goods.    can’t  have  everything  i  guess.    ❜

alex had been reading a book when the unmistakable smell of something burning disrupted him . he followed the horrid air with urgency , the trail leading him to the kitchen . that’s when he spotted sami attempting to cook - oh no . he would be having harsh words with whoever allowed him to use the kitchen . it was a miracle that the house was still standing in one piece . " get away from the kitchen before you burn it down . ” alex didn’t have many friends , but sami was far too kind & easy to get along with to not form some sort of attachment to . “ sami , are you out of your mind ? you don’t know how to cook . ” alex picked up one of the burnt cookies off the tray & took a bite , it was so crisp it made a dramatic noise as he chewed it . his nose scrunched up in disgust at the charcoal taste attacking his tastebuds , shaking his head in disapproval . it was just as alex had expected , a complete disaster . “ stick to what you know . ” he moved to check out the second batch , desiring to help him . after all , he was destined to be his right - hand man . “ there’s a why you’re in front of the camera , & I’m behind it . ”

    𝐢𝐟  𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞  𝐰𝐚𝐬  one person she wanted to avoid most – it was alex . did she have a right to still be upset with him when she was technically using him in the same way he was using her ? no . not in the slightest . but that didn’t stop her from getting riled up from having him in such close proximity . she doesn’t know how to take his words . unsure if it’s meant to be an insult or not , but since it was coming from him , she took it as one . noemi can’t help but scoff lightly but she covers it up by dropping her head to avoid eye contact . she can still feel his gaze though . while she’s trapped underneath it , she somehow finds it in herself to agree to his offer . she couldn’t say no to him then and she still can’t say no to him now . “sure , why not . i’m sure i could learn a lot from you since you’re so good at playing games .” the comment slips passed her lips before she can do anything to stop it . her eyes flicker up to meet his and she smiles sarcastically . standing from her seat , she beckons him closer to the lane . maybe throwing the ball down the lane and hitting a pin or two will help dissolve some of her frustration . upon hearing his question , she turns to shoot him a look . clearly unamused by his statement . “you don’t have to do that thing where you act like you care anymore . it’s okay . there’s no reason for us to keep lying to each other .” her own bitter tone catches her off guard . prior to seeing him again , she thought she was over it . she had moved on . she had a child with someone else for crying out loud . but clearly her feelings were still hurt and her ego was bruised enough to have her acting out of character . “and i’m not feeling sorry for myself . i’m just not used to all this .”

“ i was was trying to be nice . but you’re right - we don’t have to pretend anymore . ” it was enough for alex to drop any sort of warm exterior he feigned , coldness overcoming him . “ well , I learnt from the best . your life is just one never ending game . & now you’ve brought a child into the mix ? ” judgement rang throughout his tone . this girl was a lunatic . if he knew her at all - & he knew her well enough , then he could say with certainty the child was best out of her grasp . getting involved with such a girl was a foolish move on his part . maybe being played by her was eating him up more than it was supposed to . he was the one to use people for his own selfish needs , so when he found out noemi had been using him in a similar fashion , it had burned , a fiery feeling that still sparked every time he was in her presence . “ I can’t say I was surprised to find you involved in a show like this . ” alex started a game , keying their names in & taking one of the heavy bowling balls into his ink - stained hands , dark plum in colour . “ I’m glad you’re not feeling bad for yourself , though . some of the people here , I really sympathise with . you don’t deserve such compassion . ” this woman was a temptress & a vixen , one he spent many painful months chasing . in the end the only advantage he’d gained from her company was a blackened heart & a hard lesson learned . he threw the ball , & watched as it rolled , drifting to the side & hitting a few pins on its way ; clearly , he was rusty .

a  wide  grin  filled  out  her  features  at  his  voice  ,  cheeks  already  red  from  his  gaze  .  alex  had  a  way  of  making  her  nervous  ,  yet  sparking  something  in  her  .  no  matter  how  he  might  make  her  feel  now  ,  she  was  happy  to  see  him  .  “  good  ,  i  can’t  have  you  breaking  my  heart  .  especially  not  with  the  whole  wide  world  watching  .  ”  she  teased  ,  blissfully  unaware  of  the  effect  she  had  on  him  .  of  course  willow  herself  always  had  this  desire  to  give  herself  fully  with  the  other  ,  greedy  for  more  than  what  she  had  gotten  (  or  what  she  gave  )  but  she  always  talked  herself  out  of  it  .  mimicking  a  lion  ,  she  giggled  out  a  rawr  at  his  demand  for  food  ,  but  moved  closer  at   his  touch  .  “  so  demanding  .  do  you  expect  me  to  feed  you  as  well  ?  ”  she  asked  with  a  playful  arch  of  her  brow  ,  leaning  over  to  place  a  plate  of  snacks  over  her  lap  .  it  was  a  done  up  plate  of  different  cheeses  ,  fruit  ,  and  chocolate  .  it  looked  like  something  you’d  see  on  the  cover  of  a  food  magazine  ,  willow  was  always  so  incline  to  aesthetics  .  “  eat  up  ,  then  you’re  gonna  update  me  on  everything  .  ”  she  hummed  ,  placing  a  quick  kiss  to  his  cheek  ,  right  where  it  met  his  jaw  .  it  was  an  innocent  gesture  ,  but  the  contact  sent  a  flutter  of  emotions  through  her  .  “  i  missed  ya  ,  did  you  know  that  ?  mister  grumpy  pants  .  ” 

“ you do that good enough on your own - or so I’ve heard. ” alex tried his best not to come off so bitterly , yet he failed miserably at doing so . although , the smile she was always able to bring to his face was there , shining brightly at her . he stared down at the plate on her lap , an assortment of different foods to eat , something she had copied from someone’s pinterest board , surely . he appreciated the effort , nevertheless . “ it wouldn’t hurt if you did .” he quirked a brow at her , as if to dare her to do so . it was so easy to fall back into a routine with willow , & that was dangerous . not because of her freshly exposed past , they all were dealing with that . no , the complications were due to her pregnancy . something he was trying not to let fester inside of him , yet it had . it brought a particular burning to his throat every time his thoughts happened upon it . a cruel fate for their relationship . she was so unwilling to share that part of her with him , yet here she was carrying the child of another man . when she pressed her lips to his jaw , that’s when he turned to look at her , a bittersweet atmosphere filling the air . he nudged her gently , returning the affection . it didn’t take too long before his walls began to crumble around him , soft gaze looking upon her . “ I’m just mister grumpy pants , not so interesting . I think we should talk about you . ” lighthearted mocking aside , he wanted answers . he reached over to take a piece of fruit between his fingers . would she willingly bring it up ?

a  soft  yellow  blanket  was  laid  out  on  the  prickly  green  grass  ,  a  satisfied  smile  curling  onto  willow’s  lips  once  she  was  content  with  her  surroundings  .  she  had  made  a  little  tray  with  snacks  ,  and  brought  out  a  few  drinks  as  well  .  she  wasn’t  sure  what  ALEX  would  want  ,  what  he’d  be  in  the  mood  for  ,  so  she  covered  her  bases  by  grabbing  a  bit  of  everything  .  willow  can’t  remember  the  last  time  the  two  just  talked  ,  taking  in  the  nice  feeling  that  came  from  being  around  each  other  .  when  she  was  starring  in  one  of  his  films  awhile  back  ,  the  two  became  inseparable  .  in  between  takes  they’d  waste  time  with  stories  and  stolen  kisses  ,  making  sure  nobody  on  set  noticed  .  the  last  thing  she  needed  then  was  a  reputation  as  the  star  who  fooled  around  with  the  screenwriter  ,  but  she  couldn’t  help  it  .  she  was  intrigued  by  alex  ,  and  the  two  got  closer  than  they  should’ve  given  the  circumstances  .  the  last  time  the  two  indulged  in  each  other’s  company  (  and  w a n d e r i n g  hands  )  was  back  at  the  premiere  ,  and  since  that  night  ,  willow  distanced  herself  .  now  ,  she  hoped  they  could  rekindle  some  of  what  they  once  had  ,  the  more  friendlier  side  of  things  of  course  .  “  figured  you  were  going  to  stand  me  up  .  ”  she  laughed  ,  peeking  up  at  his  tall  frame  when  she  saw  him  approaching  .  “  come  sit  !  i  made  some  treats  ,  i  thought  catching  up  might  be  nice  before  it  gets  hectic  around  here  .  ”  

did he really want to catch up with this girl ? alex already knew he wouldn’t get the one thing he wanted , & he had wasted more than enough time in pursuit of her . still , he never could resist the charming actress . she had caught his eye the first day they had met , something about her had him hypnotised - of all the actresses , he had picked her . months went by & the most affection he had received from her was pretty stolen kisses & intimate touches . she had left him always wanting more . his tall frame towered over her petite figure , his eyes roamed her body , the familiar feelings of temptation overcoming him . she hadn’t changed much , caramel skin & dark hair , beauty still as present as ever . he had the inclination to run , knowing involving himself with her was probably a bad idea . but who was he to pass up the promise of treats ? “ you know me - I couldn’t stand you up if I tried . ” he didn’t have the heart . or maybe it was the lingering bitterness that he had never gotten his one night with her . was it still something he desired ? he sat down beside her on the bright blanket resting over harsh greenery , thankful for the softness it provided . he reached out to touch her back , caressing gently for a moment , it still sent electricity through his nerves . “ give me food , & then we can talk . ” the corner of his lips upturned slightly , he had to be careful now that he’d been exposed . people were sure to be mad at him .

   𝐢𝐭  𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐝  𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞  a good idea at first – hiding out in the bowling alley . she didn’t imagine that it was the go-to hang out spot when there were so many other options . the kitchen had a fridge stocked full , the lounge was gaining popularity , not to mention the pool and bar seemed perfectly ideal . and while she knew she couldn’t outrun the cameras that watched their every move , she was sort of hoping to pull another disappearing act and vanish from her roommates view for only a little while . give her enough time to catch her breath and reconfigure her senses . in hindsight , it was wistful thinking . she hears the other’s footsteps before she sees them . back facing the entrance while she kicks dangling legs back and forth in her seat by one of the lanes . she lets out a small sigh ( mentally preparing herself to put her fake happy face back on ) before turning back to look at the other . “i’d offer to set up a game but i haven’t actually bowled in , like , over a decade probably … couldn’t hit a pin even if i wanted to . unless they have one of those ramps that the little kids normally use around ‘ere . that might be helpful .”

for some reason he had wandered to the bowling alley , perhaps out of foolish childhood comfort . he’d wondered if other celebrities still did normal things like go bowling , he found himself having little time for such things these days . his mood soured immediately when he came across a familiar girl , one as unwelcome as noemi brooks . “yeah , I definitely didn’t take you for a bowling kind of girl . ” they certainly never went bowling in their time together . he was shocked to say the least when he was informed of her partaking on the show . finding out she had been pregnant was something he was struggling with . it’s a weird feeling when someone you were once involved with had a child with someone else , even if his intentions with her weren’t so pure . “ let’s have a game anyway , I can teach you . ” he was staring at her , unintentionally of course , yet his watchful gaze was still intense . maybe a game would help the awkward tension clearly lingering in the air . they hadn’t seen each other in so long , yet remained in his mouth the taste of such bitterness their relationship had left . it wasn’t everyday he was outsmarted , he didn’t care for it . “ so ... why are you hiding out here ? don’t tell me you’re feeling sorry for yourself . ” he dared to ask . was it from the embarrassment of her exposed secret , or because of certain familiar faces she was avoiding - such as himself ? either way he wasn’t going to console the girl , he was still too agitated at their situation to do that .

hi babies !! my name is rory and this is my mess of a muse alex . please come & plot with me !! ily .

˙✫*ﾟJACOB ELORDI ,  CISMALE  ,  HE / HIM  :･ did  you  hear  alex lennox  is  joining  the  cast  of  exposed  after he slept his way to the top  was  revealed  ?  the  twenty - two  year  old  screenwriter  with 8 million followers  is  trying  to  clear  their  name  .  they've  become  known  as  the  resident  the loose cannon  in  the  mansion  ,  and  it's  clear  that's  spot  on  because  they're  quite  -  unpredictable  &  -  distant  ,  but  also  +  passionate  &  +  headstrong .  you  know  they're  heading  to  the  confession  booth  if  you  hear  i want you to want me  by   children of paradise blasting  ,  most  likely  talking  about  how  they're  more  than  old books , ink covered hands , filled notebooks ,  sleep deprived eyes , inspired three am writing . 

alex used to think one good script , one good movie , was all it would take to achieve his dreams of stardom & offers from all angles . how naive that was .

when he first made his impact in the industry , nineteen and trying to get his script seen by someone worthwhile . he was sexually assaulted by powerful figures in hollywood , who eased his pains with promises of turning his scripts into major movies .

when that worked , he realised that it was the way to achieve his dream , a sad reality & a tough pill to swallow . yet he went to work, writing day & night , networking & sleeping with people who could further his career .

he was good at it , was the thing . soon he had these people wrapped around his finger . you name it , he’s probably slept with them . directors, producers , actors & actresses , they were all the same to him.

he is very selective about who he sleeps with , mostly people that are able to help him with his career in some capacity .

relationships for him are hard , he tries to avoid them . they never last long as he either feels too guilty about his infidelity or he gets caught .

his world fell apart around him when he was exposed . writing he had poured his heart & soul into were now clouded by his acts of promiscuity . now he has to prove that he his talent is the thing that made him , not the people he has been involved with .

he is the resident loose cannon , he is unpredictable , so his moods will change easily and frequently , because he is passionate & headstrong , he will be extremely set in his ways & if you oppose them , well there will probably be a problem . he is always writing , sometimes not sleeping for days if he's working on something .
