metaphorical gin & juice.

{ She is a paradox. She is faithful and yet detached. She is committed and yet relaxed. She loves everyone, and yet no one. She is sociable but also a loner. She is gentle and yet tough. She is passionate but she can also be platonic. In short, she is...

[text]: I'm being robbed of my goodbye here. [text]: Will you at least come visit me over break? [text] please? :(

[ text ] ; i didn’t want to go without saying goodbye to you.

[ text ] ; you’re still going to see me over break, i promise.

[cxrterpls]

“look --..i thought i could leave this place without saying a few goodbyes, but that’d be robbing some important people of my life. now, this isn’t a goodbye forever. this is just a goodbye for now.”

Harry: I do have my moments.

Harry: I don't know, i feel like you've been particularly off lately. What's going on?

Carter: I can agree with that.

Carter: I have been, yeah. It's just that I've been involved with Jack. And that's caused a big rift with Ellie because there were things that I didn't know.

Carter: I just feel like I need a breather.

Carter: you know just the right time to pop in, don't you?

[cxrterpls]

[voicemail] Hey! It's me. So, I'm sitting at this beach bar and you just crossed my mind for a solid minute or two. I was thinking about what you told me the other day.. About losing your mojo or something. I think you're brilliant, Carter Edwards. I genuinely do. And I'm sorry I haven't been around as often as I should be. I'll make it up to you, alright? I promise.

3 people you would bring back?

Cal, Petra, and Patrick.

Angry girls terrify me. Like I got caught up in between two girls arguing over the last muffin in the shop and that shit was brutal. So yeah angry girls, arguing with each other terrify me

[cxrterpls]

Jack Daniels, you are terrible. Are you saying that I terrify you, now?

[elliegtg]

You see, I have a feeling this is going to be a whole ‘woe is me’ sort of spiel and I really don’t need nor want you around to bring me down right now, you know? Can’t just start a conversation with ‘hello Ellie, how are you?’, it’s like you immediately want me at your throat with that idiotic statement of yours. Here it goes— I’d say this is out of the ordinary for you, but I’m fairly sure you’re known for this sort of behavior. Good on you, Carter! Congrats on getting laid, I’m beyond ecstatic for you! Isn’t Jack fantastic? I mean— I’d know of course.

[cxrterpls]

-- What the hell? I say one statement and you jump down my throat as if there was some underlying meaning to it? Because “hello Ellie, how are you” would’ve gotten me what? Side eyes, a bitter statement, and then what? Ah, how traditional -- trying to discredit me like you know me anymore than what? The past that I’ve had on this show? -- And Jack is pretty fantastic. How about we save this judgmental shit for high schoolers, yeah? We’re adults. 

[felicitysummers-x-deactivated20]

“You know for a show that makes literally thousands of dollars per episode, this house is really fucking disgusting. Jesus Christ, why didn’t I just order a room in the dumpsters out back?”

[cxrterpls]

“ -- Felicity? Oh, wow. I don’t think I ever imagined to see you here. What brings you here?” 

[isabellemorganjfc-blog-deactiva]

– “I can honestly say that I’ve never in my life experienced something quite as strange as this morning. After a run, I went down to that hella cute cafe down the street, and I was sitting there minding my own business, going through some things on my laptop for work and getting flights booked ‘n all that– when someone sat down and handed me three manuscripts and then proceeded to say something along the lines of ‘Read these, bring them back with notes tomorrow at exactly ten in the morning, same booth’ and then disappeared. Out of pure curiosity, I’ve skimmed–… but you should really take a look because this is hilarious. I’ve got a thick One Direction fan fiction, an abridged history of The Valleys including ‘character bios’, and something titled Locked Out of Heaven: Valleys Hookups. Take your pick–…“

[cxrterpls]

“Oh --...my god, these are golden. Please, give me character bios. I want to see how closely they pegged mine. And you’re supposed to take notes? This is an assignment that I’d be sure to pass on, but I can read these for my own satisfaction.” 

[elliegtg]

So, basically— if you know anything about me, you would know how much of a hardcore High School Musical fan I am. You should know, I’m not afraid to admit my love for High School Musical and Zac Efron. What I do know for a fact is that today marks the tenth year anniversary and we have to celebrate. C’mon, I know you want to sing-a-long with me.

[cxrterpls]

I don’t think that I would be the one you want to watch that with --..

double trouble || carter x jack

[jackontherock-deactivated201604]

Despite the last few weeks that had happened, the first thing his mind took notice of was Carter’s grin, the way it lit her face up, it made him feel almost giddy at the possibility of being able to be the one to make her smile like that. For most people he’d back away by that point, but not with Carter, not with someone who had his entire attention. “You wouldn’t wanna miss my pretty face darlin’.” He whispered, his own grin appearing as a wry thought passed his mind. “But then again, if I had my wicked way with you, you wouldn’t see it so often, because those pretty legs would be wrapped around it.” He felt like the alcohol that he’d had earlier wasn’t even in his system, this was just Jack, at his cheekiest, and horniest.

He welcomed the change of movement gladly, his arms wrapped around her with ease, his lips responding enthusiastically. Using their positions and how he was holding her to his advantage, Jack rolled the pair so that Carter was on top of him. His hands wasted no time with this new position as he skirted under the hem of her shirt, his fingers moving up and down her sides delicately. The tips danced along her back and around the clip of her bra as he began to move his lips from her, placing open mouthed kisses along her jawline, his own breathing erratic as his heart continued to pound in his chest, his mind filled with nothing but her. Her skin, her lips, just everything about Carter clouded his mind.

[cxrterpls]

He had such a way of words -- the way he used pet names and called her “darlin’” as if he had such a Southern charm to him. Her hands moved up, fingertips lightly tracing against the stubble on his jawline as she shook her head in disbelief. The next sentence to fall from his lips was enough to cause her breath to leave her. Eyes slightly widening, the corner of her lip tugged upward. “ -- Is that so, Daniels? Is that really, truly so?”

Hands sliding up from the sides of his face to tangle in the locks of his hair on the back of his neck, her body rolled with his until her legs lightly locked on either side of his waist. It’d been a long time since she had been kissed like that, touched like that, and her lips began to press lightly, dancing against his jawline. The way he began to kiss against her own jawline was enough to put her in a trance. Her head tilted back, hair falling down her shoulder-blades while her hands slid down the span of his torso.

Being around anyone now-a-days makes me feel like a child again because everyone is so god damn tall. Well, most people are. It sucks being under five foot.

[cxrterpls]

I’m not a giant to most people, actually. Though, compared to you, I am a good bit taller than you. I have to say that I know how it feels to be tiny compared to most.

[plsvanessa]

Grinning at Carter’s statement, Vanessa quickly nodded her head in agreement. “You’re right, it’s all about the different ways they can make us squirm, basically. Some things never change, right?” It was obvious that the producers didn’t always have the cast members’ best interest in mind, it was all about views, that was nothing new. The petite girl followed her companion through the back doors, sliding her oversized sunglasses that were planted atop her head, over her eyes. “I know it, ‘m not sure how anyone could possibly get sick of a view like this —..” Vanessa made a wide gesture with her hands as she took in the scenery, allowing herself to inhale the salty air in a large breath. “I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s still in awe, here.” The pair neared the water and Vanessa couldn’t help her smile as the faint sound of the waves got louder. She would definitely miss having the beach in her own backyard.

[cxrterpls]

“Isn’t that so horribly morbid? That they feed off of putting us in conditions that make us squirm. Like we’re in some Skinner box of some sort.” Her body slightly cringed, a shiver sent down her spine as they soon moved through the doors and out into the open Hawaiian air. Salty winds whipping her hair back and causing a serene smile to form up on her face. “I just --..I’m in love with the view. If I could be in love with anything for the rest of my life, it’d be this view.” She spoke softly, to where Vanessa could hear her, but to just soak everything in all at once. The shore became closer and closer with each step until their toes hit the dampened sand. “I don’t think I ever want to leave.”

It’s pretty much the same as January in Malibu, so I can honestly say it’s something I’m used to now. Not that I don’t appreciate it. Being on the mainland is a bit better, though, actually. There’s a bit more contact with reality there, and being close to Los Angeles is always a blast. Swimming? I don’t know, Cart. Tiny arms like yours can’t do much work against the waves out there. Don’t want to have to break out the day job life guard skills, do I? 

[cxrterpls]

Now, Mae, not all of us are so used to the Malibu weather. Contact with reality? I’ve never heard someone want to be so close to reality before. Excuse me, have you seen my guns? They are hidden behind pure skill. Don’t you dare underestimate my tiny arms.

[tfmingyu-deactivated20160824]

Terrible, yes, but also admittedly highly amusing. Your love is heart clenching, Carter. Willing to sue an MTV show’s producers for me. Honestly, I’m blessed. I can tell. This doesn’t seem like a very.. lovely show. Yes, but you would have a different cast each season if you left them behind at islands.

[cxrterpls]

Isn’t it? For someone who can be so cynical, I do have plenty of love to give. Which is awfully bizarre when you think about it. We won’t be leaving anyone behind at any islands, my dear. 

[jiminffs-deactivated20180821]

When writing invitations, it’s definitely impossible to pass up comic sans. The shock on their faces.. Annoying? Not so much, because I make it up by yelling the lyrics as loudly as I can. Thinking? I understand, yeah. I do it all the time, even though it doesn’t seem like it. D’you just think about.. things, then?

[cxrterpls]

Nothing says “come to Jimin and Carter’s HSM party” like Comin Sans, am I right? We would just turn around and belt the lyrics right in their faces until they get the memo to shut up. I do, yes, think about things. Plenty of things.
