sink or swim

tatum yancey. 20. rich kids of dallas. “I've got a bad case of the 3:00 am guilts - you know, when you lie in bedawake and replay all those things you didn't do right? Because, as we all know, nothing solves i n s o m n i a like a nice warm glass of regret, depression and self-loathing.”

“really,” the girl simply put. “deshawn would understand, and honestly i wanna be here- if you didn’t already notice that,” she said with a small chuckle. “at least you’re healing well. let’s hope for a fast recovery so you can go see tatum junior.”

“that’d be really nice if you’d stay... if you really want to.” she said, making sure she knew she didn’t have to stay. “where is he anyway? i could use some entertainment.” she grinned. “i’m gonna be home thursday or friday if i have to throw a fit. i’m not staying here.”

“you’re so weird, what the fuck,” she murmured and shook her head. she turned so that she was facing tatum. “you look tired…” she trailed off before placing a soft kiss upon her lover’s lips. “i thought i lost you and it made me realize something. that i would have regretted not telling you how much i love you or showing you that in more ways then calling you a fucking idiot. i know you don’t ask me to say it more because you know me, but i am going to do it because i don’’t want things to ever go south and me have that feeling of regret again.”

“you smell nice!” she pointed out. smiling when their eyes met, she only smiled wider into the kiss. “i am.” she whispered, taking in a deep breath. tatum listened to the girl closely, only for her smile to turn into a grin. she knew how much the girl loved her but of course she liked to hear it. “god i’m so in love with you it’s dumb.” she admitted.

she couldn’t help but to laugh at the two of them going back and forth with their sappiness. it wasn’t often the two of them were both sappy and expressing their feelings so easily but here they were and thought max might never admit it she loved it. she loved being so open with tatum, she just sometimes found it hard to when they were surrounded by other people constantly. “fine but only because i love you.”

[ohtatum-blog]

“your hair smells nice.” she mumbled, feeling herself getting tired again but not wanting to miss a second with the girl. she liked it when it was just the two of them at times, living with a lot of people could get stressful and sometimes just annoying, she’d like to be with her girlfriend without worrying if there was a hidden camera or something. “i know you do.” she grinned.

“Because I am the best.” He chuckled. “Are you her favorite cousin though?”

[ohtatum-blog]

“and very full of yourself.” she said shaking her head. “yes, actually.” she pointed out.

max could tell by the small things that she was making things better for tatum and she was glad to do that. all she wanted for her girlfriend is to be happy and okay. she knew the girl wasn’t really okay but max was going to get her there and the first step in doing that was to get her to not think about her leg. she shuffled closer to her and laid on her side, wrapping tatum’s arm around her. “sometimes, but babe you’re the cutest.”

[ohtatum-blog]

she let the girl cuddle up to her, only burying her face into her neck, taking in her scent. having the girl around just made everything better, she wasn’t as worried or self conscious when the other girl was her and she was one of the people who could look at her in the eyes and didn’t make it feel awkward, like they were avoiding the big elephant in the room. “were not doing this right now.” she mumbled.

“Fuck off, you know you love me.” His smile turned into a smirk. “Will you growl and stuff?”

[ohtatum-blog]

“i know i do, asshole.” she admitted. she did love her cousin, he was one of the three people she could stand in the whole family. “you know it, as her favorite cousin, i have to torment her a little bit.”

“I’m the best cousin out there.” He smiled. “I’ll tell her the girl in 413 is scary and eats little kids.” 

[ohtatum-blog]

“i don’t know... i mean, you’re alright.” she shrugged with a grin creeping on her face. “works for me. i’ll turn the lights off everything.”

“Yeah I’m just ready to leave this place.” Luke admitted. “I’ll sneak you out though.” She said. “Oh yeah she was here earlier. She went out to  eat with my mom.” 

[ohtatum-blog]

“this is why you’re the only cousin i like, other than your sister of course.” she smirked. “you should tell her to skip on down to room 413 when she gets back.”
