❛ ━ oh. ❜ a pause ━ he needs a second to process what she’s saying. ❛ i mean, it’s obvious you do ━ your dad’s a handsome man. ━ anything in particular you want to watch ?? ❜

“ a girl tells you that you’re handsome and you say oh? you got me questioning my game, dude. ” she chuckled then raised an eyebrow, “ you got the hots for my dad? uh, how about a horror movie? though honestly, i’d watch anything. ”

“ I don’t need anyone’s help. Ever. But if I’ve gotta have someone, ” Their tightly wound fingers were pushed together more with a squeeze on Rory’s end, who began to absentmindedly began to swing her arms gently, carrying Carmen’s with hers. “ It’s gonna be you. Everyone else … something’s wrong. Dumbass, liar, pussy, jackass — don’t think you can get rid of me any time soon. Even if you did, I’d weasel my way in for updates somehow. ”

" I never thought you did. You're a badass on your own. " She shrugged her shoulders. A smile graced her features when their fingers were pushed together. Carmen adored the people she had managed to keep around but Rory? Rory was one of her favorites. Their arms swinging produced butterflies in her stomach, and she laughed listening to her. " Nice to know you you resort to my presence. But maybe, you haven't slept with them yet. Sex solves everything right? I wouldn't even try to get rid of you. Unless you wanted me to. "

@ofsuttcns !!

He doesn’t talk much to his daughter, anymore. At least, not to the amount he used to. Which, by any means, was far more than other fathers of Sheffield. But still, it wasn’t the amount of communication he was accustomed to. Car parked outside of her new residence, forearm resting against the hood of the car & Ed watched as his daughter approached. A poker face plastered onto ageing features, and he squinted as the sun peaked through ominous clouds.  ❛  You girls settling in alright?  ❜  He tried to not allow emotion in his voice, Ed, after all, not too pleased with her decision to move out.  

Pulling up into the driveway, Carmen sighed seeing her dad. They hadn't talked much since she moved out and to a certain degree, Carmen was okay with that. " Jesus fucking Christ. " She muttered under her breath before getting out of the car. Approaching him, she plastered a smile on her face. " Hi, dad. We, uh-- yeah. " She shrugged her shoulders, walking up to the front door. " Do you want to come in? I got a dog. It's cute. "

     “ It was a compliment, TOTALLY a compliment. Oh, well, a lot of things make me NERVOUS. I just hide it okay-ish for the most part. I don’t know, YOU, just STANDING there. Anyways ! What’s NEW with you, Sutton ? ”

" I'm gonna take your WORD for it. Really? Like what? Me? You're an IDIOT. Would you rather me SIT? Aside from moving out of my dad's, nothing. I'm a pretty BORING person. What about you? "

❛ thanks for letting it slide, i guess. i’m incredibly handsome, i know ; it’s hard to resist this face. ❜ there’s a smile, but it’s slightly forced ━ he’s not sure what her comment means. if it’s just playful teasing, or flirting ; he’s left confused.

" don't mention it. anything for you. you know, i'm sensing sarcasm. but i'm going to have to agree. you're handsome. incredibly so. i know handsome when i see it, " she said, shrugging her shoulders. “ anywho, we should...watch a movie. “

❛ i like flavors, car. i just prefer vanilla. i’ll eat neapolitan ice cream or mint chocolate chip any day ; i guess it’s really just when it comes to milkshakes that i’m not a fan. and really ?? fries in shakes is what redeems me ?? jesus. ❜

" ok, well. since you put it that way. i guess i'll let you slide. this time. just this once. eh. your face has probably helped with that too. "

Rory stayed close to the girl before her, sighing deeply, but not removing herself from the comfort of the other’s proximity — their friendship was one so comfortable that she could stay there, shoulders warmed by the other’s palms until she couldn’t stand, and it wouldn’t feel ODD in the slightest. ❛ DUH. You and I … we’re closer than anyone else, and you sleep like a fucking ROCK. Best opportunity for late night strikes of inspiration. ❜ She reached down, intertwining the blonde’s fingers in her own. ❛ You’ve gotta be by my side for my eventual millions and fame, Carmen Sutton. Might as well keep our bond now. Not that I need the help. ❜

Carmen flashed a quick smile. " I do. Glad my sleeping habits are...inspiring for you. " The blonde smiled as the other intertwined their fingers. She felt her cheeks flush and bit her lower lip. " There's nowhere else I'd rather be. Though, however, since you don't need my help, you sure you want me? " She asked, scrunching up her nose.

❛ dogs are great. wonderful. fantastic ?? yeah, it’s fitting for her. and that sounds adorable !! ━ i turn nineteen in december, if that’s any help. ❜

" it fits her. oh, your age is fine. i just wasn't expecting to hear eighteen honestly. so, we aren't those people who have a shit ton of rules. the only one is like..no loud parties only because rory might kill you and i'd like to avoid that. "

❛ it is seriously better than strawberry, i promise you. oh, so i’m uncultured ?? that makes you even less cultured. uh … dipping fries in shakes is fine, i guess. tastes kinda cool. ❜

" you're wounding me. uhh, it does not. excuse you. do you like anything that comes in different flavors or are you an original type of person? oh!! i think you might have just redeemed yourself. nice job. "

❛ okay, i guess. as long as your dad likes the name, i guess there’s nothing wrong with that. yeah !! that’s the best part. they’ll never argue. her name’s chloe, she’s a sweetheart ; what’d you name yours ?? ━ i’m eighteen. ❜

" my dad is...a dumb. they're just the most loving creatures on the planet. aww, that's cute. she's a black lab named MoMo. Oh goodness. You're a baby. "

     “ I think you smell NICE. Not that the smell of dead bodies turns me ON, but you don’t smell like dead bodies right now. Unless dead bodies smell weirdly GOOD, in that case, I guess I’ve got a thing for DEAD bodies ! KIDDING, um, I’m usually better at this. TALKING, I mean. Not flirting, because I’m not FLIRTING, you’re just making me NERVOUS. Maybe it’s the ASSHOLE part of you. ”

" Thanks. I think. I'm glad they don't turn you on because otherwise this conversation and YOU just got creepy. I'm making you NERVOUS? Me? HOW?? You know, it very well could be the ASSHOLE part of me. You aren't WRONG there, Detler. "

     “ ‘Course you are. Um, well, hmm. I just, y’know the BARISTA industry is more INTENSE than people give credit for ! Lots of non-fat soy Americanos, kinda hard to make, doesn’t leave me a lot of time to … DATE. – – – No ! Why would I, I just, what if I was ? Not saying that I was, because I WASN’T but … ”

" I'm genuinely curious. Oh, yeah. That makes sense, dude. It's the same being a mortician. Turns out smelling like DEAD bodies is quite the TURN OFF. Your flirting is TERRIBLE. I've never had a guy try to flirt with me and call me a cute asshole. It's a new one. If you weren’t so awkward, I’d probably believe you weren’t. "

      “ I’ll throw you down a ROPE and help you climb your way out. Thankfully not, when people find out I’m THIRTY it’s more like why are you still SINGLE working a FULL TIME bit at Jess’ ? To which I awkwardly smile and CHANGE the topic ! No ! I didn’t mean to uh, y’know, well yeah, maybe I DID. So you’re a little bit of an ASSHOLE, s’real CUTE though. ”

" Aww. My HERO. I'm gonna be that person and ask. WHY are you still single? I don't care about the Jess' bit so I'm not gonna ask about that. Hold up. Are you flirting with me? Or at least TRYING TO? "

❛ you aren’t seriously telling me you think strawberry is better than vanilla, are you ?? because it isn’t. no way. ━ sorry if i’m boring, car, but i guess i’m just not as adventurous as you. ❜

" you aren't seriously telling me you think vanilla is better than strawberry. you aren't boring, steve. you just aren't...cultured. ummm...what's your take on dipping your fries into your milkshake? "

[ofsuttcns]

      “ I sure TRY to be. I think if I started thinking PESSIMISTICALLY I’d get into this like, rabbit hole that I wouldn’t be able to DIG myself out of, y’know ? Well, thank you, I think ? Never really grew out of the whole BABY face. If it’s any consolation, I don’t think you’re an ASSHOLE. Not really. ”

" Well, THAT makes one of us. Oh, I know. I'm in that hole. You really haven't. Do people still like, PINCH your cheeks and make BABY noises? Did you just COMPLIMENT me then manage to INSULT me in the same sentence? IMPRESSIVE. "

❛ bruce ?? the shark ?? i’m not sure i understand the reference, but that may be on me. ━ i’m in complete agreement. dogs are so wonderful and friendly ━ i have a german shepard myself. and it’s my pleasure. ❜

" honestly, it's my dad. i've been telling him that's not it but whatever. they are. and they're nice to talk to. they can't talk back either. aww, really? what's it's name? since i moved out, i got a black lab. how old are you? "
