🛀 ( hunter xx )

YOUR MUSE RUNNING A BUBBLE BATH FOR MINE

Maggie sat on the countertop in the bathroom, a faint grin on her lips as Hunter crouched by the bathtub. “Could you add some of those lavender bath salts?” She asked, the guy looking back to her with a furrowed brow. “Hey, you're the one who said you'd run me a bath,” the blonde commented as Hunter sprinkled some of the salts inside. After, he stood up, announcing something that made her nearly sigh of relief. “It's seriously ready?” Maggie hopped off the counter and peered to the bath. “Have I told you lately that you're the best?” She asked, pressing her lips lightly against his cheek before hazel eyes glanced to the bath. Just as he started to leave, the blonde added with a cheeky grin, “You know, I think this tub can fit two people at a time, if you want to join me.”

Maggie crinkled her nose in happiness, finally finishing off her burger. She reached into the bag for a couple more fries, popping them i to her mouth. “So,” the girl started after she swallowed down the bite, “what’s the plan for today? Watch movies, catch up on new music..?”

“Well, it’s basically anything you want to do. But I have a surprise for later— So, anything you want, we’ll do. Movies, wrestling, jam session, I’m up for anything.” He grinned at her. He wanted this night to be about her, to keep her mind off of the things going on outside, and even in the house.

[margaretstokes]

”Anything I want to do?” Maggie echoed with a faint grin. “Now, that's something you'll regret later.” However, one thing Hunter suggested was sticking in her mind. “I think we should wrestle,” the blonde said, a brow arching up, challenging him. “I wanna see if I can beat you.”

[bedofsxrrows]

“well, you’d only really know if you’ve ever been up there,” Maggie replied with a chuckle. After she got the smudge she crumpled up the napkin and set it down, taking another bite of her burger. “Yeah, I still wanna go,” she said, nodding her head. “You still wanna go, right?” Maggie half-joked, a teasing smile on her lips.

“I suppose so. “ He smiled, finishing off his burger and leaning back, rubbing his tummy teasingly. “Good, I was just making sure— Of course I do. I wouldn’t miss out on it for the life of me.”

YOUR MUSE TELLING MY MUSE THAT THEY WILL ALWAYS BE FRIENDS

”Today was probably one of the best days I’ve had in a long time,” Maggie said between giggles, opening up their hotel room door and walking in. She tossed her purse and mouse ears on a side table and flopped down onto the bed - the pair had spent the entire day at Disneyland, walking around and going on rides. The blonde chuckled as Shiloh fell onto the bed beside her, adjusting the pillow underneath her head. The two remained silent for a moment, staring at each other’s sunburned faces until Maggie spoke up. “I’m so glad we’re friends.” The redhead laughed and nodded her head, her next words making Maggie’s heart swell up in happiness. “You think?” She questioned, a wide smile prominent on her face. “I think we will be, too.”

“Wine country is actually in Northern California. It’s not all deserts and cities here in the Golden State,” Maggie said, her eyes landing on a red smear on Hunter’s chin. “You, uh.. got a little something there…” She stifled a laugh, grabbing a napkin from the bag and leaning over, wiping the ketchup slowly off. “Perfect - Yeah, guess I will see a lot of country then, it’ll be fun.”

“Oh wow— Look, something else I didn’t know about great old Cali. You’d think I’d know that by now since I’ve been living here for seven years, right?” He laughed, looking down with a slight blush. “A little wha— Oh, thanks. I’m a bit messy.”  His teeth peeked out from behind his lips. “We sure will, if you still want to go.”

[margaretstokes]

“well, you’d only really know if you’ve ever been up there,” Maggie replied with a chuckle. After she got the smudge she crumpled up the napkin and set it down, taking another bite of her burger. “Yeah, I still wanna go,” she said, nodding her head. “You still wanna go, right?” Maggie half-joked, a teasing smile on her lips.

[bedofsxrrows]

margaretstokes:

Maggie nodded, smiling faintly. “Horses.. very cool,” she said before taking another bite of the burger. “I lived in L.A all of my life, never really thought about what it’d be like to live out in the country,” she admitted with a sheepish grin. “But, my parents took my sister and I out to wine country a couple of times, to visit vineyards and stay at a b-and-b. It was really pretty, from what I can remember.”

The boy was nearly half way finished with his burger by now, a bit of the ketchup smeared on his chin. “Well, I’m sure there was fun in that— Oh really? Which state?” He questioned, eyes furrowing. “And don’t forget, we still need to go on that road trip. You’ll see plenty of the country then.”

[margaretstokes]

"Wine country is actually in Northern California. It's not all deserts and cities here in the Golden State," Maggie said, her eyes landing on a red smear on Hunter's chin. "You, uh.. got a little something there..." She stifled a laugh, grabbing a napkin from the bag and leaning over, wiping the ketchup slowly off.

Maggie leaned in as Hunter spoke, her hand reaching into the bag to pull out a couple of fries. She popped them into her mouth, giving him a sympathetic smile. “Sounds a little lonely,” the blonde said, chewing lightly on her lip. She could relate a bit - one sister who made her life Hell created a rather lonely life. Only instead of a house of sheets in the country, it was her bedroom in an empty house. “Did you like living out in the country?”

He stole a fry from her bundle, sticking out his tongue before gobbling it down. “It was, kinda, but I had the horses to keep me company.” He smiled a bit, reassuring her. His childhood wasn’t so bad. “I did, a lot. But I always wondered what it was like to live in the city…. What about you?”

[margaretstokes]

Maggie nodded, smiling faintly. "Horses.. very cool," she said before taking another bite of the burger. "I lived in L.A all of my life, never really thought about what it'd be like to live out in the country," she admitted with a sheepish grin. "But, my parents took my sister and I out to wine country a couple of times, to visit vineyards and stay at a b-and-b. It was really pretty, from what I can remember."

Maggie looked to the corner, her sights set in the zebra cakes - one of her favorite junk foods(she made a mental note on having to add an extra hour of working out the next day). “Futuristic houses? Now, that sounds cool,” she said in earnest, unwrapping her burger and taking a bite. “Did you build them all by yourself?” Maggie asked after she swallowed down the bite, keeping her gaze on Hunter.

Hunter saw the girl’ eyes dilate in lust as she was staring at the pile, knowing full well something in it had caught her eye. She was going to have first pick anyways. “It was.” He nodded, taking a bite of hiw own burger, savoring th taste for a moment. “Yeah, usually, unless the neighbors a few miles down wanted to come and help.” He shrugged. “I lived out in the country, so there was usually no one for miles, and no siblings, so… just me and my house of sheets.” He chuckled.

Maggie glanced back over to Hunter, her smile widening for just a moment. “Oh yeah? What kind of snacks?” She asked, opening up the bag and pulling out the burgers and handing one over to him. “You did? Were they as awesome as this one?” She added, gesturing to the cloth walls around them. Truth be told, she didn’t know much about how Hunter grew up and curiosity was setting in.

“Wellllll… I have some oreos and ice cream, as well as a couple zebra cakes. And a few other things.” He gestured suggestively to the pile of junk foods in the corner. His eyes stayed glued to the beautiful creature in front of him, though, as she looked around. “Well, when I had more time, yeah. They’d look like futuristic houses, if I do say so myself.”

“Well, I love it even more now,” Maggie said with a grin before making her way inside. She sat down, legs folded under her rear before placing the bags of food into the ground. “I got burgers and mini chocolates, which is one of the best ways to have chocolate,” she added, hazel eyes still wandering the fort. “This is really cool, Hunter.”

He giggled, plopping down across from her in the tent. His eyes roamed around as well, landing on his snacks. “Well, I have some snacks for us, too, for afterwards. “ He sent her a smile. “Nice, you know just what a guy wants— Thanks, I kinda worked a bit on it, I used to make these a lot when I was a kid.”

[margaretstokes]

Maggie let out a light laugh, walking further into the room. “I don’t hate it at all,” she said with a nod of her head, blocking out any thought she had of how she had to clean it up later. “I kind of love it.” She shuffled over to him and went on her tippy-toes, pressing a light kiss against his cheek. “But, I have a question…” she trailed off, her brow arching up as she held out the bags of food. “Is it safe to eat in this fort?”

Suddenly, his fact lit up with a grin. He felt her lips against his cheek, and instantly, he returned the gesture with a kiss to her temple. “I’m glad you like it— I wanted to have us do something that didn’t involve pissing ourselves with fear.” He chuckled. Though, as he saw the bag, a mischievous grin marked his lips. “It is now.”

[margaretstokes]

Going out on Halloween was awful if you hated the holiday, which the girl did. Too many people, things all around to scare her… Not her cup of tea. But, she was in serious need of food. One hour at the store arguing with soccer moms for two bags of mini candy bars and forty minutes at a drive through for a couple of burgers and fries, and Maggie drove back to the house. She got out of her car, bags in hand, and made her way into the house. The girl hopped up the stairs and towards her room. As she opened the door, she stopped in her tracks, a wide smile on her lips as she took in her surroundings. “Holy shit,” Maggie breathed out a chuckle, hazel eyes landing on Hunter. “You did all this?”

The smile on her lips as she walked into the room killed all of his nerves. There was something about seething those pearly whites peeking out from behind her lips that soothed him. He stood up, a shy smiled on his lips. “Yeah, kinda… unless you hate it. Then no, nope, notta….” He joked, his nerves coming back as he reached up to scratch the back of his neck.

@margaretstokes

Hunter figured Maggie wasn’t the Halloween type, considering all of her past, so he figured he’d try and make the night fun for her. After their date a few weeks back, this girl had made his life a thousand times brighter. She made him happy, and in return, he made her the same. 

It was about four o’clock when he saw her leave, and the second she was out the door, he made a dash for her room, a few sheets and blankets in hand. He spent the next hour and a half dashing back and forth from their rooms, doing his best to use his creative skills for this one. He borrowed some non-stainable liquid paint from an art buddy, as well as some washcloths and gloves for the room. When he was finished with everything, he put on some background music and waited inside his masterpiece for his sort-of-girlfriend to arrive.

"You did all this?"

[margaretstokes]

Maggie perked up a little at his confession, the smile on her lips growing for a mere moment. “You’ve wanted to ask me out since we first met?”

[bedofsxrrows]

His cheeks immediately darkened to crimson, a sheepish smile reaching his lips. “Well, I obviously wasn’t, that would have been ridiculous, but you definitely had my eye.”

[margaretstokes]

Maggie nodded, letting out a soft laugh. "Good to know," she said with a grin, opening her mouth to say something else - but, the waitress came over to the table with the food, the blonde shutting her mouth. "Thank you, it looks delicious," she said to the waitress as her plate was set down in front of her, taking a sip of her water after it was put down.

[margaretstokes]

a light blush crept up on Maggie’s cheeks, the dirty blonde chuckling softly. “And, you’re happy that this is happening? Us going on a date?”

[bedofsxrrows]

“Yeah, a but happier than I’d like to admin— I’ve kind of been waiting for this since up… well, since last Valentines Day, over a year ago.”

[margaretstokes]

Maggie perked up a little at his confession, the smile on her lips growing for a mere moment. "You've wanted to ask me out since we first met?"

[margaretstokes]

Maggie leaned back in her spot, smiling over to Hunter as he spoke. “I’ve been pretty good, if I’m being honest,” she answered with a light chuckle. “And, how’s everything with you?”

[bedofsxrrows]

He twiddled with the ring on his ring finger, something he did when he was nervous or overly-happy.. “I’m doing quite well, seeing the circumstances.” he chuckled. “I honestly never though this would happen.”

[margaretstokes]

a light blush crept up on Maggie's cheeks, the dirty blonde chuckling softly. "And, you're happy that this is happening? Us going on a date?"

[margaretstokes]

Maggie waited until Hunter was finished ordering before she did the same. “I’ll get the fettuccine alfredo, with chicken… and a water with lemon, please,“ she said to the waitress, giving her the menu and a quiet, “thank you,” as she walked off.

[bedofsxrrows]

Letting her order, Hunter tried to keep his eyes to himself. Once she was done, a large grin overcame his lips. “So, how have you been, Maggie?”

[margaretstokes]

Maggie leaned back in her spot, smiling over to Hunter as he spoke. "I've been pretty good, if I'm being honest," she answered with a light chuckle. "And, how's everything with you?"
