he was soaking wet, his neoprene wetsuit clinging tight to his body, hair saturated with salt and his eyes stinging just the slightest bit, but jamie was still grinning as he swam back towards the shore. as he got closer, back to the sun, he could see clearly that there was someone sprawled out on the beach, calling to them from the water. ❝ you should come in, water’s perfect ! ❞ he yelled, smile wide. the private beach was nearly empty, given that most of the club that owned it’s members were on their summer holidays not in malibu. he was, technically, trespassing.

ever since lacey first went to MALIBU to visit jamie and his sister, she immediately fell in love with the atmosphere there. it was almost as though she could hear herself think and she certainly couldn’t get that in LA. so she bought a special beach pass to use for the last few weeks of summer. her notebook was in her lap as she scribbled away — trying to piece an article for the best new products released this summer. as soon as she saw jamie out in the water, she couldn’t help but start to laugh. what a small world. “ i think i’m good for now, thank you, though ! ” she says. “ you know, i swear, every time i see you you’re in the water. ”

              tristan didn’t like routines and because of this, he tried not to fall into a daily one. so, he always went to a different coffee place. or he took a different route to the same restaurant he enjoyed. on most days, it wasn’t a big deal and though it seemed like an inconvenience at times, he didn’t mind it all that much. though on this particular day, it was gonna bite him in the ass. deciding to try out a new cafe, ( one that seemingly cared more about it’s aesthetics than it’s coffee ) tristan parked at a random spot, convincing himself he’d be in and out of there in under ten minutes. it was apparent he’d be longer than that by the long queue leading up to the door and well, the fact that the ONLY parking spot available was a crappy one. minutes later, the male was outside with a cup in his hands but quickly came to a halt upon noticing the massive dent in his bumper and the broken headlight. ‘ holy fuck, ‘ he blurted out, a little louder than he initially intended, though he was more focused on his car than he was on how he looked to other people. he scanned his surroundings, as if he’d find any witnesses to the incident and with a sigh, he made his way over to the person in the car right in front of his, attempting to keep a calm composure. it was clear, however, that he was beyond frustrated as he tried not to jump to conclusions quickly. ‘ were you the culprit behind this ? or.. i don’t fuckin’ know, did you see anyone around who might’ve done this ? ‘

lacey’s eyes had been glued to her phone, iced cup of coffee resting in the drink holder beside her. she typically ventured to this cafe — mainly because it was RIGHT down the street from her work. sure, the lines were inconvenient half the time, but she usually budged time for the wait. it just so happened she had budgeted too much time today and was stuck sitting in the parking lot, waiting until the right time to leave for work. she had HEARD the sound of the crunching metal and looked up only to see the man get out, look at the damage and quickly drive away. she couldn’t help but jump when she heard a voice through her window. “ oh my gosh ! ” she exclaimed, quickly dropping her phone onto her lap. when she sees that it was only TRISTAN, a small sigh of relief left her lips. “ i most definitely WASN’T the culprit behind this, but i did see the person that did ! he was in his late twenties, i think, dressed in a suit and drove a pretty nice car from what i could see. i saw him stop and act like he was writing something down, but i don’t think he actually left anything. ”

                           he gives her a SERIOUS look, shaking his head. ❛ fifteen year old me seriously thought that putting bleach in an oven & then using it straight after to cook pizza was a good idea. ❜ he winces as he thinks back. it wasn’t like anybody told him that it would blow up. that’s half of the reason why he doesn’t try cooking anything — the rest of it is because he can’t be bothered. why should he COOK when there are people who do that for a living ? the logic is beyond him. ❛ are you questioning my character, lacey davis ? well, there was this one neighbour who moved out like just as you moved in. but they’re nothing compared to you. wait, seriously ? are you trying to kill me ? i can’t be seen out in public buying groceries. what about my reputation ? ❜

her hands immediately come up to her face upon hearing what he had done. “ beau, nooooooo ! ” she says, almost in distress. while she wasn’t exactly surpised to hear he had done that, she was still AMAZED. her hands drop and she looks over at him, blue eyes rolling at his last set of words. “ i highly doubt the paparazzi will care if you go to buy groceries or not ! ” she points out, head shaking in the slightest. “ and if ANYTHING, people will only think that you’re a responsible adult. what’s the worst that could happen ?! ”

with a slight laugh she nodded, she expected her to actually, she just didn’t wanna go back to that whole thing.❛it’s a lame story, trust me.❜ it was a poor attempt at getting lacey to drop that idea, but it was an attempt none the less. upon lacey’s words a genuine smile spread on her lips before she shrugged.❛i’m telling you, i can sense that stuff from miles away. what are you working on, anyway ?❜ she asks curiosity evident in her eyes as she leans in a bit, that is until lacey speaks again and she leans back into the chair with a huff, eyeing the roof.❛boy…problems eh.❜ she started, it was vague but it wasn’t a lie, however she couldn’t really go into details in the middle of the office.❛there’s so much happening lacey, i think my brain has turned to actual mush. oh god, i don’t even know where to begin to be honest.❜

as soon as lacey heard suede’s last set of words, a look of concern formed on her features. she quickly saved the draft so any changes made wouldn’t have been lost. “ it’s just my review of the makeup products i wore the night of the gala, but it’s definitely NOT AS IMPORTANT as everything going on with you right now ! ” she quickly minimizes the word document and fully directs her attention to suede. “ i promise, what we talk about at this desk STAYS at this desk. ” she glances around towards the other people around her ; most of them were either listening to the music coming from their earbuds, chatting away with someone else about their piece or too distracted by their phones to even notice. “ what happened ?! ”

* for @laceydvis ;

it wasn’t unusual for suede to show up at lacey’s work unannounced, but the people there had seemingly gotten used to it, letting her in without any questions, to be fair she had her hands full with coffee and she generally looked like she didn’t have time for any bullshit right now. which was true. placing the coffee’s down on someone’s ( who’s name she couldn’t remember ) desk so people could take what they wanted, before she moved to sit down at lacey’s desk placing her coffee in front of her, before she shrugged off her chloé backpack and pulled out two bags putting one with some clothes in on the ground.❛can you return this to beau ? i just needed a disguise, don’t ask.❜she sighed leaning back in her chair.❛anyway i brought you lunch, cause i was hungry…and bored.❜and panicking but that was a story for another time.

lacey was in the midst of editing her latest piece — her reviews on the products she used for the gala — when she saw suede sit down in front of her. her eyebrows furrowed together and the blonde stayed quiet for a few moments, watching as the other blonde maneuvered her bags. lacey bent over and slid the bag of clothes closer to her own purse, laughing slightly. “ you KNOW i’m going to have to ask about it at some point ! ” she says, making a mental note to drop it off at his place on her way back home. “ but thank you !! i probably wasn’t even going to leave this desk to eat anytime soon, so you definitely saved me. ” she says, returning her attention back to her friend. there was something OFF about suede and lacey couldn’t put her finger on it. “ is everything okay ? ”

                           beau shrugs his shoulders & chuckles. ❛ i’m pretty sure i enjoyed them at some point, but doing the same thing & meeting the same peope over & over again makes them lose their magic. ❜ lacey’s observation doesn’t really SURPRISE him, though. after all, if it were any normal circumstance he probably would love them but overtime he’d just rather not bother with them. ❛ that’s exactly my scene. i already have the getaway planned, the harrison kid just needs to say the word. ❜ he clicks his mouth before it curves into a smile, hand lifting to mess with his hair a little. ❛ okay, ALRIGHT. i’ll try & go steady but there’s no telling what state i’ll be like in the morning. ❜

upon hearing the surname ‘ harrison ‘ leave beau’s lips, the blonde immediately pressed her lip together. her arms tightened across her chest in the slightest. she had totally FORGOT it was at his place, but if she didn’t go ? she knew she would hear all about it from gabi later. “ the getaway ? ” she repeats. “ you’re making it sound like some secret spy mission ! ” she shakes her head, laughing at the thought of beau being a spy. “ you do have an extra key to my place, so my door is ( technically ) always open. AND i just went grocery shopping, so i have lots of food for you to rehydrate with. ”

          she doesn’t look him in the eye after a moment, and he’s caught off guard by how much it kills him. he spends the entirety of her long-winded ramble searching for her eyes  so intently that her words slide past his ears, most of them unheard. he can gather the gist of what she’s talking about based on her facial expression, though –– and he knows it’s exactly what he’d hoped to avoid. at the lift of her gaze, he gets what he wants –– her cool blue eyes on his restore his seemingly missing ability to hear. “ what the hell made you think that i’d want space ? ” her confessed assumption frustrates him, though if he chose to be introspective, he’d admit that the tone he’d given off over their text messages wasn’t remotely inviting. “ yeah, you say that –– ” he can’t help the feeling of hurt that rears its ugly head, driving him to finish the rest of the amber liquid in his glass before he goes on, “ you say that, but you didn’t ask me if i was going to jail or not, lacey. because you were what –– afraid i’d leave you on read ? ” he shakes his head, lowering his voice a few decibels as to not make their conversation painfully public, “ it could’ve been 4 in the fucking morning, i would’ve answered you. i could’ve been in the middle of the trial, i could’ve been with some other girl, i could’ve actually been in fucking prison –– i would’ve found a way to talk to you. ” despite the hard reputation that his professional fighting career has garnered him, rafael has always been the epitome of a hopeless romantic ––– when he falls, it’s slow until it happens all at once. and with lacey, there was no slow. “ i’m tired of saying the same shit over and over again. i tell you i fucking like you, and then you’re like ’oh, but my mom and dad … oh, but don’t you have better things to do than come see me? oh, i didn’t know if you’d reply.’ fuck that noise, lacey. you’re jerking me around like i got a tattoo on my forehead that says ‘please gaslight me’.  ” he’s never wished so hard that he could control his uncontrollable temper –– he hates the way the words are coming out of his mouth, and yet he can do nothing to ebb their flow.

upon hearing his voice raise a few decibels, she couldn’t help but bite down on the inside of her cheeks. it was different reading his words on a screen versus hearing them in person. she was able to THINK before she replied ( even though, that night she barely took the time to think through them at all. ) not only that, but she wasn’t used to being on the other end of his temper — she had become so used to being the only person that was able to calm him down. as soon as she heard his last set of words, lacey dropped her gaze. her blue eyes began to well up and she quickly did her best to try and wipe them away before anyone else could see. the combination of hearing his words with clinking glasses and meaningless conversations in the background was slowly becoming too much and she could barely hear herself think. as soon as he finished speaking, she didn’t hesitate to speak up — her chin tilted upwards so her five foot three frame was able to see him.  “ you KNOW i never meant to do that to you. i’m not that type of person and if i was gaslighting you ?! then, i’m genuinely sorry for doing that. ” she paused, taking a deep breath. her head shook in the slightest and she knew her emotions were starting to overcome her, but she didn’t care. not anymore.  “ but you know what ?! i DO like you, rafael. and honestly ? i like you so much it fucking scares me. ” she was too caught up in the moment to even recognize the swear that slipped through her lips. her once soft and reticent tone gradually became louder and if she were being completely honest, she didn’t care if anyone heard her. she didn’t care about the sudden FLASHES and CLICKS of cameras pointed their way. “ so that’s  why i keep pushing you away. and if i learned ANYTHING from visiting my parents last week, it’s that i’m sooooo tired of doing that. ” she admits, feeling a huge weight lift off of her frail shoulders.

                           he just shoots her a wink along with a look that says ‘ you’re better off not knowing ‘ & follows her gaze. he never REALLY understood the appeal of these sort of things — maybe that’s such a guy thing to say, but it doesn’t make it any less true. ❛ honestly — my mom & dad used to make me go to hundreds of these when i was a kid. i hated them then & i hate them now — i suppose some things never change, right ? ❜ beau flashes her a grin before pursing his lips at her next words. ❛ okay, well, if you’re SURE — because y’know there is an & there’s no telling what kind of concoctions they’ll have there … ❜

the blonde’s eyebrows raise in the slightest. “ they DEFINITELY don’t ! if i’m being honest, though, i thought you would’ve enjoyed this kinda stuff. ” she wasn’t exactly sure why she had made the assumption ; perhaps it was the plethora of free alcohol available or just the grandiose environment itself. “ but you DO learn something new everyday ! ” she exclaimed before a small laugh left her lips, blue eyes rolling. “ now THAT kind of sounds like your scene ! ” she says as she turns her head to look at him. “ just please don’t do anything stupid and make sure you’re drinking water in addition to those concoctions. ”
