Three Amigos + Simone & Eli

[eliclarke]

“Even if I wasn’t a singer I’d still do it. It’s all about the fun of the experience. Especially while drunk.” Simone told Ajax even as she laughed because he did have a point. “First, a threesome sounds a bit much. There’d be a lot going on. Second, Eli should be so lucky as to date me.” She teased, winking at them before laughing again. She shook her head, smiling as Eli teased Ajax about Freya.

Simone spun her beer around as she listened to what Ajax and then Eli said. It was a lot to take in at once and to be honest, she’d probably shed some tears about it at home later but she was happy he got it off his chest. He obviously needed it. “The circumstances suck, but I’m happy you’re back and things are going well for you here. And I’m glad you told us. But just fyi, there’s almost nothing you can tell me that would make me stop caring about you or stop being your best friend. Either of you.” She said, looking at Ajax and then Eli. “Unless I find out you think The Bodyguard doesn’t have one of the greatest soundtracks of all time. Then we’d have issues.” She smiled a little.

@the-alejandro-ajax

“Sure,” Ajax laughed. “I am going to go ahead and say that drunk me will think that I’ll nail my performance so you will have to be the judge of it, Simone.” Ajax told her. “Right, so Eli is bang on for a threesome so you know he hasn’t gotten any lately,” he joked. “But I would have to duck out of a threesome if it were a go but it seems like SImone is very against it, Eli.” He laughed. Ajax laughed loudly as Simone burned Eli on the dating idea, he couldn’t help but laugh as the teased each other because it reminded him back when they were all last together like this. “You’re an ass,” Ajax laughed as he pointed to the other man as he joked about him and Freya. 

“I wouldn’t expect you to do that and if you did then I’d kick you ass,” Ajax said to Eli. He was thankful that they were able to go back to their normal antics and banter after that confession because to Ajax it meant that nothing changed. They wouldn’t treat him differently and didn’t hate him. He was so thankful for it and made him realize that admitting all of this, even know, was the right thing to do. No more secrets to hold back to his two oldest and closest friends. “Thanks Simone,” Ajax grinned. “Don’t worry I will never make such a claim. I’d miss you too much to ever utter those words.” 

@eliclarke​

“Damn,” Eli pretended to be disappointed as his idea got turned down before laughing hard, finishing his beer and asked the waitress for another one, “I may not have a girlfriend, but I can get laid regularly, thank you,” he pointed out before then turning to Simone, “How about you girlie? Any boys I can beat up for stealing you from me or you’re still my love?” he asked Simone, this time turning the attention to the girl since she had a field day in teasing himself and Ajax. “Well, girls do love my ass,” he deflected with a cheeky grin.

The confession from Ajax made Eli felt like a fraud, that he can’t even be honest to his friends, that he still kept a huge secret, pretending that he’s just some real estate agent, but he knew it was for their own safety as well, or at least that was what he told himself to make him feel better. “I think we can all agree that The Bodyguard have one of the greatest soundtrack of all time,” he nod his head, glad that the subject changed into something lighter, it helped him forgetting that he’s been lying to his friends.

Mad House Chronicles || Eli& Boone

[eliclarke]

alton-boone-coach:

Even though Alton had promised Eli that was tonight wasn’t about work, he couldn’t resist watching some of the tape from last week’s game in preparation for this weekend in New Orleans. Meanwhile, he’d already set up the PlayStation as well as ordered a couple of pies from a local pizza place he liked; they used they big, old-school pepperoni’ on their pies and beer in the pizza crust.  He figured there was little that could go wrong with a good pie; he left the drinks up to Eli like they’d already talked about. To his surprise,  Eli was on time, even a few minutes early. When he heard the doorbell he shut off the television, keeping his word, for the most part. “Welcome to the madhouse,” Alton said, a shit-eating grin on his face as he greeted his friend. @eliclarke

“It ain’t madhouse without the booze,” Eli said and showed Alton the six pack of Budweiser he bought as well as a really nice whiskey, “Now the party has arrived my friend,” he grinned, shoving the drinks into Alton’s arms before sauntering in as he liked into the place he recommended for Alton before he moved in, “You did few changes?” he asked, he hadn’t been inside since the man moved in after all.

On The Rebound | Lydia & Eli

[eliclarke]

lydiacollins:

In a way Eli was glad that Lydia was married, or in between one, so he knew that this is strictly a rebound sex and nothing more. Of course in any other circumstances, he would like to entertain the idea of something more with the girl, she was adorably sassy, but given he was who he was and he did what he did, he didn’t want anything long term, mostly because he wasn’t sure he’ll be around for long terms. Seeing Lydia, it seemed like they both felt the same way and he was glad and eager to continue this little rendezvous.

Eli’s eyes greedily watching her feature while he unbuckled his belt, pulling it off of the loops and tossed it aside before continued to unbuttoned his pants and lowered the zipper to loosened the restriction against his hardened member. Seeing that Lydia playing coy and teasing him, he could play this game as well. He ran his hand up her thighs, “No, you show me how much you want this,” he said with a firm tone as his fingers slid between her legs, finding the warmth instantly as he already took off her panties before. He ran his finger along her slit, teasing her, “Take off your dress, Lydia,” he ordered once more with eyes fixed on hers while his fingers continued playing with her.

Art Nerds || Harper & Eli

[eliclarke]

aharpxr:

Harper nodded when he explained where he got the game, then rolled her eyes when he called her the expert. “Most of my paintin’s are on the floor at my mum’s in London.” She shook her head. “Don’t really ‘ang my own paintin’s much.” She shrugged, though looked around for an empty space on the walls, just briefly before looking back at him. “Beer’s fine. Thanks.” 

“Damn,” he clicked his tongue with a rather disappointed expression when she told him that most of her paintings were on the floor, though of course it wasn’t a real disappointment, “And here I thought I’ve invited a true expert at painting hanging,” he joked as he went to the kitchen and grabbed two beers for them, he handed one to Harper. “Now I don’t know what to do with the painting...” he said, faking a sad expression.

briarrosedurand:

             the reason of why she felt she ruined the moment is because she said she’d cook, but instead of insisting cooking, she gave up. indeed she submitted to do something she hates to pleases him, but everything gone upside down. & now with everything he said, she felt bad. she knew it was selfish for her part not thinking of people who wanted to be in her place, well, she thinks of them sometimes. when she thinks about it, she feel as the other people deserve her place instead of her. now, he seems angry ( not that angry but a bit ’annoyed’ ) with the fact she uses drugs. her gaze drift to the other side as he spoke to her & continued to do their dinner.                ❛ You are right… Can you excuse me a minute ? I’ll just check on the drinks for the food. I’ll be right back, I promise.❜                   she left the kitchen, as her puppy levon, running staying close of eli, raising his paw to get some food, making the most innocent expression to eli. briar rose entered on her bathroom, letting the door a bit ajar, sitting on the floor close of the bath. she embrace her own legs, burying her face on her legs & she burst in tears, crying. she didn’t expect anything like this on her birthday, especially this sadness that hit on her. she was sad because after everything ( her parents being  terrible parents during her whole life & ruining everything such as stealing her childhood ) she missed her parents, & feels bad that she’d never be the daughter they wanted, especially now, that she found out she’s godfather biological daughter. in addition, she wasn’t  'normal’ as the normal people. part of her always feels like, her parents is ashamed of her, because she suffers of chronic manic depression ( with the addiction with drugs things tend to get worst ). even her, is ashamed of herself for to be mentally ‘ill’. she really, really hopes none ever knows she is 'freak’, as her mother would say.

Eli let out a heavy sigh when Briar left for whatever she wanted to do because he doubted it really was about the drinks. He looked at the puppy who stayed by his feet, “What?” he asked the puppy, “Oh don’t give me that look,” he sighed again, feeling bad for turning the night into this, but he was just trying to make her see that she didn’t need all those drugs to get by, she has everything in the world. This is why he tried his best to not be too close to anyone, to not let himself care and keep a distance enough so no one would care about him because he’ll only hurt them, like he hurt Sienna before. Turning off the stove he walked to the bathroom, he could see her inside through the small opening of the door. 

He knocked few times before pushing the door open, “Do you want me to leave?” he asked, maybe it’ll be better for him to leave, it’ll be easier for her. He knew she might feel something more for him from what he could gather from Ajax, and while he care about the girl, very much so, he couldn’t give her everything, not when he could be caught any moment, or when he might need to run without even a note. “Please don’t cry,” he said again, “It’s your birthday, you shouldn’t cry on your birthday.”

wildzaraausten:

“I might be,” Zara smirked. “But I was rebelling long before my move here but I did move here to get away from them. Tried Australia too but they nagged me a lot when I was down under,” she explained. “Yet you have a key,” Zara laughed as he mentioned never spending any time in the pool when he studied here. “Fuck,” Zara cursed as her eyes were drawn to his exposed chest and abs. “I’m pissed I didn’t let myself sleep with you on our first date,” Zara admitted as her eyes roamed over the V and couldn’t wait for him to shed the rest of his clothes. She didn’t regret her three date rule at all but she could have gone without the boots that Kat has her eyes on. Not to be overdone, Zara pulled at her blouse so she was left in her bra and short skirt. “Mind helping?” Zara asked as he hand ran over her bra strap. 

“So what is it your story, princess? Wealthy parents but not enough attention?” he asked with his low tone as he approached her closer. A small chuckle escaped his lips when she pointed out that he had a key to the place eventhough he claimed he didn’t spent enough time here in the first place, “Let’s just say I know all the right people and I have a quick hands,” his arm soon wrapped around her waist once her shirt was gone and now both of them are shirtless. “I think we can make sure the wait is worth it,” he said seductively as his hands snaked up to her back when she asked for his help to take off her bra, with one flick he unclasped her bra and pulling them off of her before working on her skirt next.

[eliclarke]

wintersculpture:

Elliot sighed and rubbed his face with his hand. “Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying”, he said a soft huff following his words. “But what happened? I wish I’d know. She just happened to say to another guy she loves him and I tried to fix things and she wanted to fix stuff too but now she told me she doesn’t love me the way I love her and I don’t know. Everything is messed up right now.” Elliot turned his head and looked at Eli. “I never had felt like she has made me feel. I mean, I’ve never even understood love or what it was like, but then she appeared and well, you know how I was every time I even mentioned her name. Hell, now I think I knew nothing of love in the first place because this really is just messed up shit. I get nothing done anymore. Seriously, look around you. There’s only rubbish around you.”

This is exactly why Eli didn’t want to be in any kind of committed relationship because it’s too confusing and too messy for his taste, at least not after Sienna, not after the destruction that relationship caused both him and her. “So this guy, he just came out of nowhere?” he asked Elliot as he sipped his beer again, “Who is he anyway? I mean I thought the two of you were all disgustingly happy and in love?” Eli was confused for the sudden break up. “I might be the last person qualified to talk about relationship shit or love for that matter,” he realized love is the kind of luxury someone like himself can’t afford, “But the way I see it is this, if you’re no longer happy then the love won’t mean a thing, if it only end up ruining yourself or her, then it’s not worth it, you know what is it that they say about if you love them then set them free?” he waved his hand a little to gestured his words. “And now, the way I see it that you need a new muse, do you need me to hook you up with someone? I could be a great wingman.”

itartemis:

The smirk stayed on the woman’s lips, her entire demeanor showing her amusement. She appreciated his effort, even if it was just for getting in her pants later on. Sometimes all you could do was have some fun, and Artemis usually wasn’t opposed to that. “At least you’re willing to take me to dinner first.” She teased, humming when he came close. “So, where are you taking me, sir?” She asked flirtatiously, crossing her legs as one finger played with a strand of her hair.

“What kind of gentleman would I be if I go straight to between your legs without buying you dinner first?” Eli raised his eyebrow and started driving to the restaurant he had in mind, “Mexican food sounds good to you?” she asked Artemis.

[eliclarke]

briarrosedurand:

                briar rose thought cooking was nice, but she was hating it. her patience on the kitchen is from slim to nothing.  when he asked if she hated it that much, is not that much… but she get really anxious when she is trying to do something & her lack of manners to do the things right, makes her feels useless, stupid. she closed her eyes for a brief second & she could hear her mother voices from the back of her head as if she was she’s incompetent freak, but she forced a smile to eli. ❛ I ruin the moment, did I ? I’m sorry… ❜                    maybe it was time, to break the friendship with everyone, she thought to herself. the point is, briar rose was in a terrible phase, which she wishes eli doesn’t seen her, not like this. she always has been mentally unstable. since the family’s problem, she found herself currently in her unstable phase, now with the use of the drugs ( addiction per se say, she never used drugs before, she only started when she fought with her parents )  but things was getting worst. she really shouldn’t feeling like this on her bithday… but…                   ❛ Eli… I want to thank you for everything, I don’t deserve any of it… And thanks for making my birthday…❜ she pause, before she continued. ❛ Better. ❜ indeed she wasn’t planning anything on her birthday, she was melancholic. she wanted her parents so bad as her birthday’s gift ( not that they had died, they just don’t care about her…), but deep down she knew none could give ( her parents ) it to her.  she hates how weak, she felt around eli… he’s always nice to her & she feels as if could never will be good to him as good as he is to her. she stayed besides him, resting her head on his shoulder as she watched him, making the crepe.

“You didn’t ruin the moment,” he shook his head, “But you said you’ll cook for me and I’m actually a little bit excited that you wanted to do that for me,” he admitted as he moved graciously around, making the batter and heating the pan, working on the crepe and then looking for something for the filling of the crepes and found eggs, few herbs and mushroom. He looked at her, “It’s your birthday and of course you deserve it, all this low self esteem needs to stop because look at you, you’re wealthy, you’re famous, you have the world at your feet, then think about the people who need to struggle to have what you have,” he didn’t know why he started this, “Just stop feeling sorry for yourself, it’ll only make you feel even miserable and end up putting those shits into your body even more,” he said, turning off the store and turned around, he didn’t mean for the night to turned this way. He let out a sigh and his hand reaching for hers, “Just, let’s just eat okay?” he asked her and continued making their dinner in silent.

[eliclarke]

itartemis:

“You can’t buy my love, Eli.” The woman protested, but her pout was soon replaced with a grin. “Oh, who am I kidding. You can buy whatever you’d like from me. Only you, though.” She flirted, shrugging one shoulder innocently as she got herself settled in the seat. “So,” She began, looking over at him. “Where are you taking me?”

“You kept saying that I can have what I want if I give you earrings and nice dinner, and now you said I can’t buy your love? I’m confused now,” Eli joked and laughed at her next words, “I know it,” he winked and leaned closer to her, “Just sit tight and let’s have dinner, and then I’ll take you back to my place to end this silly back and forth teasing,” he whispered to her, tilting her face towards him so he could pressed a kiss on her quick and started the car.

[eliclarke]

briarrosedurand:

       briar rose could feel her body slightly shiver when he kissed her shoulder. she rubbed her back for a second before turned to look at him with his insistent glare at her as he trying to encourage her to continue the task. big grey hues orbs met his eyes, groaning in frustastion, making a grumpy-cat expression.❛ I really hate kitchen. It’s makes me anxious. For you disappointment, depend on what, I give up things easily.❜ there is no lies in her   w o r d s.          she thinks cooking is something that can make it magically in a seconds, or so she used to thought, until… now. a simple task seems so hard. ❛ I wish. ❜ she referring when he mentioned her being clumsy on purpose. there is certain things, briar rose is completely clumsy, but there is others things, her touches is completely delicate. she felt his warm hand on top of icy hand as her grey eyes met his gaze with a frown.❛ I don’t know if I want a reward, today.❜ currently briar rose wasn’t on mood… but of course, it could change.

With all of her protest and struggle, he let go of her hand and pulled back slightly, turning her to faced him a little. Eli raised his eyebrow and for a second just looked back at her, “Do you really hate it that much?” he asked, “Just go sit down, I’ll make us some dinner,” she told her finally, didn’t want to make her do what she didn’t want to even if it’s only making crepes. Eli loved to cook, he find it relaxing and he didn’t mind cooking for both of them.

Art Nerds || Harper & Eli

[eliclarke]

aharpxr:

Harper smiled and nodded, brushing off his comment about how she should have just let herself in. She stepped inside and looked around his apartment, seeing the TV and raising her eyebrows. “Sports game?” She asked. She loved sports, but she never really got into video games about them. That wasn’t to say she didn’t play video games, of course. “So ya really need ‘elp findin’ a good wall?” She asked, tilting her head to the side. It seemed unlikely that that was really why she was invited over, at least to her.

“Yeah, a friend lend me the game, he just got it, pretty cool game,” Eli told the girl, didn’t actually think she’d be interested and only asking for some chit-chat. “Definitely, I don’t know where I should hang your painting, so I just thought you must’ve hung enough paintings in your life, why not ask the expert, right?” he joked as he pointed to the kitchen direction so he could get her something to drink, “Beer’s alright with you? Or are you more of a wine kind of girl?”

[eliclarke]

wintersculpture:

Elliot went silent. What was the point of even trying to lie? What would he win with such thing? Nothing. Just plain nothing. It was as empty as how he was feeling. “We aren’t a we anymore.” That was all he could say. Eli was the first one to even hear it coming from Elliot since Elliot had been hiding at his studio not seeing anyone since he had left the apartments on that one evening. Okay, he had told his mother, because she always knew everything about his life. She had even invited him back home, but Elliot had said no because he had time for himself. Every time someone had called him or texted him, he had just pretended everything was fine. But if anyone saw him, they would know for sure nothing was fine anymore. He couldn’t even create anymore, the deadlines were getting closer and closer but he got nothing done.

Eli raised his eyebrow when Elliot told him that they weren’t a we anymore, he didn’t understand at first, “What happened dude?” he asked the man, still looking at his friend. “You’re not saying that you broke up with your girl, right?” he asked, because he thought the two were doing fine, not that they spent night and days talking about it of course. “Seriously, I’m not that good with feelings and shit, but hey I can listen if you want to talk about it.”

[eliclarke]

briarrosedurand:

            she felt the kiss deposited on her shoulder as she looked behind to see him, sighing deeply, her gaze drop to her hands busy trying to follows the order.  ❛ I want to call to pizza! ❜ briar rose with all honesty she hates cooking or anything related to the kitchen, but she wanted to do something different, that why she accepted his suggestion. if she knew cooking was so boring, she’d suggested another thing, anything more exciting.

            she picked a new bowl & eggs that was on the counter. ❛ So? Can we call for the pizza ? ❜  the impatience was all written on her face, but, she gave another try, she did what he instructed her but, in very clumsy manner, after a few horrid & frustating tentative. all the instruction made her confused it was too much for her head. she whisked the milk with the eggs as she put with her other hand the flour inside of the bowl, with an important detail, she clumsily let the flour spread in everywhere on the counter, in herself.

              ❛ Of course we don’t want.❜  she wasn’t trusting in her cookery potential.

“No cheat, Briar Rose,” Eli gave another kiss on her shoulder, “Come on, it’s not that hard, just follow my instruction,” he told her again not wanting her to give up so easily. “We’re not going to get pizza delivered, I’m sure you’re not so easily giving up right?” she challenged her.

“Are you being clumsy on purpose? Because now that’s just being naughty,” he told her, “Do it seriously and you’ll get rewarded properly,” he whispered as he held her other hand as well to stopped her from dumping all the flour altogether and to do it slowly.

[eliclarke]

wrightbelle:

“Shapeshifting?” Belle raised an eyebrow, but nodded accepting his explanation. “I like that.” She smiled, “Getting to know something, somebody else from a different perspective.” She nodded, “I think I’d be more inclined to go with teleportation.” She said, picking up a french fry and popping into her mouth. After swallowing she continued, “I understand it would probably come with limitations, distance and all that, but I think it would be cool. Time saving, which would be very helpful for work! Almost like being in two places at once!” She grinned, and eating another fry.

“Yeah, I mean just think about how handy it’ll be. Like you can change into anyone you want whenever you want, it’s just fun, maybe I’ll even turned into you sometimes,” he joked followed with a laugh as his food came from. “Wow, so you want that power for working? Are you a workaholic by any chance?” Eli teased the girl as he picked a fries from his plate, dipping it into the chilli sauce.

[eliclarke]

alton-boone-coach:

“Again, you’re not wrong, my friend,” Alton said and couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’m just messing around man, it doesn’t matter, just bring yourself. It’s not like I’m a huge drinker, to begin with.” Once they were in his office Alton grabbed his jacket, keys, and his cell phone, then checked again, feeling like he was forgetting something, and he was…He grabbed the iPad in case there was time to watch some plays.  “You know me, I’m always gonna pick Mexican or Chinese. But if you’re feeling adventurous there’s a sushi place a couple of blocks from here,” he stated. 

“Again, I’m always right, you should already know that by now,” he laughed again. “Don’t worry, I’ll bring you the good ones,” he patted Alton’s back as they walked together. “Mexican sounds good. Fish tacos will be good,” he agreed and nod his head.

[eliclarke]

winstoneva:

“Hey, I like it safe too. Never once had an accident.” Eva defended herself with a small grin. “It’s definitely the eyes.” The woman nodded, smirking at him and then waving lightly. “Thank you. For the welcome and your help.” 

“That’s good to hear,” Eli laughed, “At least you keep safe, always what you want to hear,” he joked a little before gave the girl a nod, “Of course. I’ll see you around then,” he said before walking away from the girl’s place to go back to his own place.
