My name is Scarlett. Yes, like the color.

Silent Night || Scarlett & Carson

[carson--hastings-deactivated201]

It was a ploy to make it seem like she was the one who had been hunted down, he knew that much - her trying to deflect her own want for him by making him the one to kiss her. Carson knew Scarlett better than that though, enough to see the ruse. She wasn’t one to openly admit any kind of weakness - nervousness, being uncomfortable, wanting something. Carson knew, but he wouldn’t call her out on it. Because he could play the game better than that.

But he wasn’t one to let a girl win that easily, his ego demanded to be fed and as much fondness as he held for Scar, he wouldn’t allow such an opportunity to pass him up. He could play her game without letting her win and did so by leaning in, only to tilt his head at the last moment and press his lips softly against her jaw, holding them there for a second before moving down to press another under her ear. Carson angled his body so it was easier for him to lean over, a smile on his lips as they moved down to her shoulder. She had only asked for him to kiss her, after all, and he was just being a good, obliging boy.

The small smile that formed on Carson’s lips as he moved them down from Scarlett’s neck to her shoulder was enough to let her know that she was at a complete disadvantage. After all, she was the one who had shown up at his door unannounced, not the other way around. And though she couldn’t deny the fact that Carson’s lips felt nice pressed against her neck, it wasn’t exactly what she’d had in mind, and they both knew it. Slightly impatient, Scarlett shifted to face him, completely aware of the fact that he wanted her just as badly as she wanted him- all they had to do now was wait to see who would give in first. So far, it looked as if it would be her.

She tilted her head to the side and leaned towards him slowly, as if she too were going to kiss him. When the distance between them was so small that she could almost feel his lips on hers, she laughed slightly under her breath, whispering, "You know that's not what I meant, but you can try again."

Alright, umm, haha. Sorry.. The kid doesn’t exactly look like the type, so I’m not really surprised.

Yeah, I don’t know.. Doesn’t it fuck with your breathing and what not? My friends, uhh, they don’t really let me around that kinda shit.

[scarlett-rey]

He's... well, yeah, I guess he doesn't.

Nah, not really. Pretty much everyone ends up doing it and one time or another, you know? And fuck your friends, you should really try it.

[willowxhawthorne]

Wha— I-I’m not! I just..you know, I just don’t want it to fuck with my breathing. I have soccer, and..uhh…swimming, fuck— I even have cheer for fuck’s sake, I can’t afford to mess with shit right now..

[scarlett-rey]

I didn't mean it as a bad thing, calm down. If it makes you feel any better, Carson Hastings didn't even know how to roll a blunt last year- I had to show him. 

And as for sports.. eh, just don't get caught. I still play soccer and do martial arts and I'm perfectly fine.

[willowxhawthorne]

No..I haven’t…actually. 

[scarlett-rey]

Woah, not even once? I wouldn't have thought you to be the innocent type. 

[hazzasexual]

[willowxhawthorne]

Being able to ski’s a plus though, there’s none of that back in Houston.

Oh— Uhm, I don’t really…yeah.

[scarlett-rey]

Wait- have you not smoked pot before?

[missreneeadams]

Yeah.

[scarlett-rey]

Alrighty then...

Well, I have to get back to my dorm now. So... see you around, yeah?

[audrey-lawson]

Missionaries aren’t really in the church, per say. They’re more like the messengers for the church. Going off and trying to make the world a better place and what not.

[scarlett-rey]

Even your parents are practically saints, Jesus Christ. How are you even so fucking nice all the time? Like honestly, I have no idea how you do it. 

[audrey-lawson]

It was alright. I got to ride on an elephant though, so that was pretty cool.

They’re over there building churches and homes and stuff. Typical missionary things, I guess.

[scarlett-rey]

Missionary stuff... yeah, I wouldn't really know. I don't think I've ever stepped foot inside a church in my entire life. 

[missreneeadams]

Doesn’t sound like fun.

[scarlett-rey]

Yeah, it wasn't. 

Uh, do you have any friends you're waiting on or something?

[audrey-lawson]

Oh, sure. I guess… No, actually. I don’t know. My parents are in India right now so things were very hectic over there.

[scarlett-rey]

Oh, well that must've been fun.

What are they over there for?

[natalia-edwards]

So am I, but it’s usually nothing typically considered as fun. It’s boring old stuff for everyone else, like reading or watching old movies like Gone With the Wind.

I haven’t been able to talk to her in a while, now that you mention it, but I think she’ll be back soon enough and you’ll start to rethink missing her rants.

[scarlett-rey]

Oh. Well, I can't say that I watch Gone With the Wind in my free time, but as long as it's fun for you, I guess. I usually prefer things that I can do outside but since it's practically freezing out it makes it a bit hard.

You and Tate are a lot alike, I can see it now. Though, you're probably a bit more... social than her.

[audrey-lawson]

You didn’t leave?

[scarlett-rey]

Uh, not really. I didn't really feel like going home, there's even less to do there, you know?

[missreneeadams]

Boring.

Yours?

[scarlett-rey]

Same. My two best friends have yet to return from their vacations, so I've been stuck here doing nothing.

[willowxhawthorne]

Hmm, I haven’t been. What’s good in Colorado? What’s it like?

[scarlett-rey]

Not much, it's pretty boring. A lot of people come up to ski and shit, but I've only been skiing once and I nearly killed myself.

On the bright side, pot is legal there now, so that's a plus. 

[natalia-edwards]

Well it is called a break so doing nothing is the main activity- but I know what you mean. I’m not waiting for anyone though; this is as exciting as it gets for me.

[scarlett-rey]

I guess I'm just one of those people who has to be doing something at all times. 

Aw, that sucks. I know you're friends with Tate though, and she's has been gone forever. I've actually started to miss her rants about classical novels at three in the morning... though I do sleep better now.
