โBecause Iโm a little fuzzy, my headโs spinning, I wasnโt entirely sure it was you, and my head hurts from the drinks and whatever it was that the group I was hanging out with gave me,โ she explained, stumbling a bit as she took a step closer to the other girl.ย โThe knife to my neck doesnโt say mad? Wow. Scary.โ
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย doe like optics remain fixed on her as she speaks, eyebrows furrowing into a frown for a moment. a hand extends to keep her from tripping as she stumbles. and her blood boils slightly because she might just have been set up.ย โ you took drinks from fucking strangersย ?? fuck, gemma.ย โ mariana huffs out, glancing around before gently moving to guide the otherโs arm around her shoulder for support. โ it says i donโt like to be snuck up on. โย
โgeeze, boss. hello to you too,โ gaia didnโt even flinch when the brunette pointed her knife at the other. โwas gonna catch up to you, but you walk too fast. iโve already fixed your car liked you asked.โ
ย ย ย ย ย ย dark gaze study the familiar features and she allows a smile to settle on her features as she stores her blade, shrugging. โ only when i think someoneโs following me. โ and then sheโs grinning lightly at her next words.ย โ you did ?? youโre fucking amazing. thank you !! โย
eyes dart around the room, for a surface to throw her onto. at first, he thought about just dropping her onto the floor but thatโd probably result in him getting his ass kickedโ so he drops her onto the couch and immediately moves to hover over her, a hand moving out to cup her chin. tj doesnโt say anything at first, dark eyes searching hers for a moment or two before he leans in to finally kiss her, shaking his head as he breaks away for a brief second.ย โโiโm goinโ to make sure yโknow my name, in case you forgot.โโย
ย ย ย ย ย ย air escapes her lungs as her back collides with the couch and sheโs inhaling a deep breath as his large frame hovers over hers. silence becomes them as her gaze remains locked on his, challenging. and then her eyes are shut as his lips find hers, fluttering open the moment they part. she refrains from raising an eyebrow but cannot help the mock confused expression that settles on her features. โ tomย ??ย โ and then she juts her bottom lip out in a mock pout. โ must not be that memorable... โย
before he could even have time to react, the pillow hits him and his brows are furrowed.ย โโโ yeah, but i wanted some of yours!! no need to get throwy witโ the pillows !!ย โโ opening his own box of food while sheโs talking, heโs getting ready to take a bite of what heโs ordered till her words make him stop completely in his tracks. tj looks up with a raise of his brows and sets his food to the side, standing up from his chair to make his way over to where she satโ hoisting her up and over his shoulder.ย โโdonโt say shit like that. iโll have to punish you.โโ
ย ย ย ย ย ย at his words, the brunette simply offers her middle finger to the air with a wink. and then sheโs grinning as his movements cease, delighted. he was so easy to piss off. however, as he stands - the small framed latina is quick to set her food to the side, cup following. and she was smart to do so seeing as heโs closing in on her before she can dart out of her spot, throwing her over his shoulder with ease. a squeal leaves her lips but sheโs quick to slam her palm against his back. โ he was phenomenal. a god in the sheets - had me real weak. โ but sheโs clearly far too provocative to shut up. so sheโs going along with her own lie, words slow and emphasized. โ i think the whole town knows his name. โย
he sits up now that sheโs finally off of him, back resting against the headboard of his bed. connor shakes his head and stretches, a hand running lazily along his face.ย โโi didnโt go to sleep so late. iโm justโ hungover.. didnโt plan on gettinโ up today, because when i tried to earlier.. it.. was too bright.โโ he mumbles, tilting his head up to look at her with an innocent smile.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย โ you should have known better.ย โ mariana lets out nonchalantly. and he should have known better. sheโd definitely come pull him out of bed the moment he did not check in past twelve. only this time, sheโd been held back an extra two hours. basically, it was his lucky day. โ as if i didnโt know you, donโt give me that half-assed look.โย
that innocent look of hersโ god it was something that drove him insane. probably one of the looks she could give if sheโd done something bad, and heโd let her get away with it.ย tjโs brows raise, fingers drumming along the table.ย โโโ me?โโ he reaches over to take a piece of her food, tossing the piece into his mouth like it was nothing.ย โโif i was tryinโ to tie you down, would you have a problem with it? i know we got the whole, rival gang thing goinโ onโ but i just.. wanna know.โโ
ย ย ย ย ย ย her jaw nearly drops as he reaches for her food, gaze turning cold as a glare is shot his way and next thing she knows - the nearest pillow is chucked his way. โ you have your own !!ย โ she groans out, frowning. and then sheโs slumping her shoulders in a shrug, head tilting slightly. โ i donโt know. i just let the pizza delivery guy into my pants. he was pretty good too. โ the dark haired girl huffs out teasingly, mocking disappointment.ย
โFuck! Why are you trying to take off my head?โ she asked, jumping as the other pointed the knife at her.ย โIf youโre pissed at me, I would prefer you use your fists to express it rather than sharp objects.โ
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย dark optics take in the familiar features of the red head, wait - no... now sheโs blonde ??ย her head tilts slightly but she hesitantly places her blade back into its previous spot in her boots. โ well why the fuck would you sneak up on me ??ย โ the dark haired girl snaps back, eyes rolling at the otherโs words. โ if i was mad at you, youโd know. โย
โโโฆ that remains to be seen.โโ was he really going to debate her on this? if itโd keep the subject off of him for a while, this would be a fun debate. lips curl up into a playful smirk, giving one of his casual shrugs in response to her words.ย โโyouโre right, i can kiss it on another day. i justโ wanted.. to hang out with you. spend a little more.. time with you, yโknow?โโ
ย ย ย ย ย ย marianaโs quick to bat her eyelashes at him, innocently. and then offers him a delicate smile. โ whoever by ??ย โ the dark haired girl is raising an eyebrow at his words, sitting back down comfortably. she settles her cup between her crossed legs, turning back to her food. โ sounds to me like youโre trying to tie me down. โ
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย small framed brunette makes her way down the sidewalk, well aware of the following footsteps behind her. steps continue as she turns into the nearing alley, turning swiftly on her heels and aiming her now exposed blade at the other, not quite registering their features. โ what the fuck do you think youโre doingย ?? โย
she catches him off guard, and as much as he wants to cuss up a storm about how he wants to sleep, he grumbles as he feels the hands on his shoulders. arguing with mariana on the subject of sleep? connor would definitely lose. so he remains on his back at first, a dark brow raising as a free hand goes to push through his bedhead.ย โโifโฆ yโknow, you could.. getโ upโฆ off of me, i can get up?โโ
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย โ hmmย ??ย oh, right ! โ dark haired leader lifts herself from her previous position, hopping off his bed before glancing down at him. โ cโmon, connie... no one told you to go to sleep late.ย โย
โโโ yes youโve guilt tripped me, but no one else has. youโre probably the only one whoโs really guilt tripped me.โโ tjโs lips curl up ever so slightly at her next words, only sitting up from his spot to pour his soda into his cup. god, she really knows where to get himโ so heโs quiet for a minute or two while pouring his drink.ย โโyโknow i donโt just stare at your ass. i stare at all of you. iโll never get tired of staring at you, because itโs like.. iโm admiring a fine work of art.โโ
ย ย ย ย ย ย โ and still do. โ intense dark optics remain locked on him as he sits up, watching his movements. and then she raises an eyebrow at his words but offers him a playful smile. and then she moves up in her spot, reaching for her cup and the bottle as he sets it down. โ mamiโs not here to listen to you kiss her ass, tj. but iโm sure she can sense you praising her genes. โ
โโโOH GOD, YOU GOTTA BE SO LOUD? Come on, Marianaโ Iโm upโ Iโm up.โโ He groans, eyes darting around the room as he tries to look around at his surroundings, putting his hand up to shield the light from hitting his eyes.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย small hands grip onto his blanket, tugging it off his body and hopping onto his bed to straddle his waist. โ get up !! โ mariana lets out giddily, small hands pressing against his shoulders. โ cโmon, itโs two in the afternoon !! โย
โโwho said i was guilt tripped? you should know me by now, i donโt let anyone guilt trip me.โโ he retorts back with a playful tone, laughing with a shake of his own head.ย โโi dunno, itโs just.. i wonโt ever get tired hearinโ you say that.โโ he catches the kiss blown his way and nods once, eyes casting to her backside for a brief second before looking up at her.ย โโhm? yeahโ iโd.. iโd want one.โโ
ย ย ย ย ย ย shooting him a pointed look, she shrugs nonchalantly. โ iโve guilt tripped you.ย โ knowing glance is offered as his gaze finally meets hers and sheโs crossing her arms slowly, raising an eyebrow. but she bites back her words for a moment, instead teasingly reaching for the bottle of soda and then two cups. mariana finds her way back to her spot, handing him his cup and placing the bottle on the table. โ just like you donโt get tired of staring at my ass ??ย โย

mariana mercedes reyes was born on april 18th and is the second born of four children. the reyes come from las olas and fall under one of the founders of the city where crime dominates and war between gangs remains as strong as ever. her parents, rafael reyes and carmen maria reyesย vazquez owned a small hispanic restaurant in said town. she has a younger brother and sister and an older brother the order being: brother, mari, brother and lil sis.
her middle name, is one that she finds quite ironic considering it means mercies in spanish and mercy is the one thing that mariana lacks. sheโs not completely heartless but she has been through enough to be guarded and completely merciless when provoked.
at the age of sixteen, she had gotten involved with a junkie - one that owed one of the gangs a lot of money. in one of his hazes, he lost his composure and sexually abused mariana. however, just before he had thought that heโd be home free, she took his life. the details are still unclear to her mostly because it was an act of self defense and her mind had no time to catch up to her actions. it was then that she was recruited into that very same gang - anarchy. the leader, her aunt, took mari under her wing after her initiation. the deal was, her membership for their protection. she was young and naive thus the bird that is inked into her skin on her hipbone.
tj warder, or as she often thinks of him, her other half and perhaps the love of her life - remained on the opposing team. and in fact, would move on to lead her gangโs rivals. they had gone through a breakup before she got with her lousy junkie ex but got back together soon after and would go on to be the local โromeo and julietโ of las olas. sneaking around together, fraternizing with the enemy in every sense of the word. that is, until, tj warder died. or, well, she thought he died. when in reality, heโd faked his death. he up and left her without so much as a goodbye so imagine that. she grieved someone who wasโฆ well, alive. the roses beneath her bird tattoo on her hip were inked onto her skin in his honor.
sheโd started her university career in none other than her local college because four years too soon her aunt was murdered and the responsibility of leadership fell to her. her blood given right and her auntโs last wish. she remains a member, the leader, of anarchy and that alone makes her dangerous. sheโs smol asf so she does not seem scary but oh she can single handedly raise the pits of hell and will do so with no hesitation.
tjโs own head tilts, lips curling up just slightly only shrugging at her question.ย โโi canโt stare at my girlfriend and admire her beauty? iโย โโ brows furrow at her word and he lowers his head to try to hide his amusement.ย โโlove-ier than usual? i know i donโt.. usually do the wholeย โlovey-doveyโ thing very well, anโ iโmโ sorry. but iโm.. jusโ tryinโ to appreciate you more.โโ he mumbles, reaching over into the box to take a piece of food out as well and toss it in his mouth.ย โโi love you a ton. sorry for beinโ a cheeseball.โโ
ย ย ย ย ย ย โ who guilt tripped you, bebeย ?? โ dark doe like optics are flooded with humor as she speaks, eyebrow further raising before proceeding to continue eating. โ i love you back, by the way. in case you... forgot. โ mariana smiles sweetly, blowing him a playful kiss. and then sheโs standing to go get a soda from her fridge, glancing in his direction. โ want one ??ย โ
as he goes to say something, dark eyes move to watch her finger along his lower lip and his brows raise. damn, she always knows how to put a smile on his face and get his mood up. at this point heโs gawking at her as he watches her move past him to go to the table, brows raising as he makes a face at herโ finally snapping out of his little daze.ย โโhm? ohโ iโll.. iโll be fine, iโll eat a lilโ later.โโ
ย ย ย ย ย dark gaze fix onto his frame as she plops down on a chair, reaching for the takeout and stuffing some food in her mouth. she raises an eyebrow in his direction, head tilting. but she makes sure to swallow before addressing him. โ whyโre you starinโ at me like that ?? โ the dark haired leader blinks slowly before proceeding to gather some more food into her mouth, chewing slowly. โ itโs love-ier than usual. โ
heโs sure to carry his gun just in case if he runs into any trouble during the night, but he knows he.. he wonโt need it with mariana. tj opens the door and walks in to her place, kicking it shut.ย โโ hey mi amor.โโ he calls outย and sets the bag of food on the table, a hand running along his face as he plops down onto the chair.ย โโi brought grub.โโ
ย ย ย ย ย ย sheโs logging off her laptop as he strolls into her home, dark gaze settling on him instinctively before a smile settles on her features. standing, the brunette rests the laptop on her coffee table before moving to near him - index finger tracing his bottom lip before slipping towards the table.ย โ about time, iโm starving. โ and then she points at him knowingly. โ put it away and come eat.ย โ
