cansecos​:

it’s well past midnight and most of his friends are sound asleep, having given in to the exhaustion of traveling. all but noah. he’s lounging under the moonlight, at the edge of the pool, with the water lapping at his calves. it’s so still, so quiet that her whisper is a burst of sound. he glances over his shoulder and sees her. sirena. he allows himself this moment to drink her in, to sweep his gaze along her, cataloging all the subtle changes since the last time she saw her. he flashes her his dimples and dips his head in a nod. “yeah.” with her creased pyjamas and messy hair, she looks fresh out of bed. “can’t sleep?”

the minute his eyes gaze upon her, she quickly regrets not turning around and heading back inside. despite everything they’ve been through, despite how in love she was with luca, his eyes still made her breath catch in the back of her throat, rendering her speechless for a few seconds. instead she simply nods her head and makes her way over to him, thankful that she’s wearing pajama shorts so she can easily sink her own legs into the cool pool. “you think i’d be used to sleeping in different places all over the world, but it still messes with me sometimes,” she teases with a shrug of her shoulders. “how was your first day in greece?”

“it’s okay to admit that im the best, baby,” she wiggled her eyebrows, it was fun to be with sirena this way without having to be at each other’s throats. jupiter didn’t mind it as much as she let on because if sirena truly hated her, she wouldn’t give her the time of day. “oh, i’m so sad but um, didn’t you just confessed that you missed me though?” she laughed as she caught sirena on her confession, being a bitch to each other was just part of their charm. “yeah, i would love to spend my daddy’s money on things i don’t need.”

“the best at being a pain in my ass,” she teases before laughing at the other catching her in her confession. “hey now, i said i was ABOUT to confess that i missed you. thankfully you helped me see the error of my ways, and i retract that statement now.” even through all their teasing, rena kept a genuine smile painted upon her lips, happy that she now had jupiter’s banter to keep her entertained for the summer time. looping her arm with the other, she begins to pull the other out of the villa and toward one of the cars they had rented for the summer. “let’s be honest, anything we spend money on is on things we need. we just didn’t know we needed them until we had them, right?”

shcnley​:

Shanley heard a familiar voice from behind, immediately excited as she turned on her heels. Her arms open wide for sirena to land in, giving her friend a tight squeeze before letting go, “Ugh, you have no idea how much I have missed you.” she replied, giving sirena a pouty look, “but you’re off being a rockstar and I am so happy. I may or may not have played a few songs softly for my first graders.” she shrugged, laughing before her eyes widen at the mention of their dates, “Oh my god, you know it! We need to go as soon as possible. The views here? So romantic.” she sighed, her wide smile almost making her cheeks hurt, “Honestly, nothing too exciting. Just teaching. Finally settled in Chicago, moved into my own apartment. Yay to no roommates! So proud of that. But I want to know all about you!” she exclaimed, “Tell me what you have been doing, the music alll of it!!”

“as much as i love the rockstar life, it still sucks i don’t get to see you as often as i’d like to,” she pouts playfully before smiling at the thought of shanley actually playing a few of their songs for the little ones. “look at you, introducing kids to good music so early on in life. they’re going to thank you for that one day.” of course rena was excited to explore greece and share such romantic encounters with luca, but her and shanley had a fun little friendship that also required them to treat the other like the queens they were. she was going to make sure shanley would have one of the best dates here in greece, and she knew luca would simply laugh and wish them well. “honestly, i don’t know how you live without roommates. doesn’t it get lonely?” she hated living by herself, in all honesty, and praised shanley for being so content with it all. “did you see our performance on snl? oh my god, shanley, it was the coolest fucking experience ever! like to go from watching that stuff to actually being on it? it’s weird, but i hope it only opens up more doors for us, you know?”

Read More Now!

how many times has sirena gotten lost in the taste of his lips? the whole world could be falling apart around them, and she still wouldn’t be able to notice a damn thing. not with luca’s presence being so close to her like this. even a teasing smile would cause her whole body to grow weak and submissive to anything he wanted. the two could trace each other’s bodies blindfolded at this point, yet the feeling of his fingers exploring her never grew old. she happily raised her arms to help him discard the shirt, a playful smile tugging the corners of her lips as he soaks in the sight she’s laid before him. soon enough, his hands are sliding past the rest of the fabrics that are covering her sweet spot, causing a pleasant gasp to melt past her lips as he feels just how wet he’s already made her. “look who’s talking,” she teases breathlessly, eyes fluttering shut for a moment as her hips begin to gently grind against his touch. she falls and hovers over him as he lays back against their bed, his words sending beautiful chills up her spine. “yes, sir,” she answers obediently, her fingers tracing down his toned body before finding the ends of his shirt and sliding it off to join her own on the floor below. she wastes no time in leaning down and peppering soft kisses against his exposed chest, all while her hips beg for more friction against his wondering fingers.

ofdelilahs​:

delilah huffed and rolled her eyes playfully, sprawled out across the chair at the poolside in her brand new white bikini and sunglasses. like sirena, the girl was also trying to get a tan. it was almost impossible for delilah not to look like a pale little cupcake, but she tried her hardest to get some sun whenever she could. “sirena, i don’t know why you think this made-up relationship in your mind is actually going to work..” she began, shaking her head and looking over at the other. “and now you’ve got your fanbase following you in this too!” she exclaimed, trying not to laugh at the idea. truthfully, it made delilah internally blush– the idea that people actually approved and supported the idea of dee and willow dating– but, that was completely for another life.. right?

“because i believe you two are meant to be, and i’m never wrong,” she answers with teasing smile, mainly because the girl was wrong a lot of the times, but that was neither here nor there. “oh my gosh, i swear you two keep getting more and more fan accounts every day. the fans finally have a new ship they can dedicate all their time to now that arlo and i destroyed their hopes of us ever being an item.” the thought alone still makes her shiver, because she could never see arlo in such a light. not that the boy wasn’t handsome and would easily be a good boyfriend, but the two just simply weren’t compatible in that nature, and it took their fans forever to finally see it. “i just think it’ll make the summer a whole lot easier if you two just address the elephant in the room and speak up about what you’re both feeling. i mean, seriously babe, you wanna live the whole summer just make awkward eye contact and trying to avoid each other? greece is, like, the perfect place to finally achieve your happy ending!”

[sirenva]

willowhq​:

willow, slumped back against the headboard, glanced around her half-unpacked bedroom to avoid sirena’s gaze. “sadly, the plain ride over has left me unable to hear. so i can no longer communicate. which is why i haven’t talked to her,” willow said, biting her lip. well, it was true that willow hadn’t spoken to delilah in almost a year. not privately, at least. “besides,” willow said, sounding a bit dispirited, “i don’t think she wants to talk to me. not after i walked in on her,” willow said. “it’s not like i’m ignoring her. i’m just, you know. keeping a polite distance,” willow explained, offering sirena a wry grin.

rena simply rolls her eyes at the other’s words, though there’s a small smile on her face to keep the mood as light as possible. it was weird to her how people didn’t want to communicate their feelings with other people. she had no problem letting people know how she felt about them, but has to understand that not everyone is as blunt and straight forward as she is sometimes. “polite distance, ignoring her, avoiding confrontation, call it what you will, babe. at the end of the day, you know being here for an entire summer with you two acting like this is only going to cause more harm than good. might as well address the elephant in the room and see where it gets you.”

sinclaiir​:

     it  was  admirable  to  say  the  very  least;  their  relationship  &  how  it  had  developed.  though  alanna  had  known  luca  since  they  were  both  young  to  see  him  with  sirena  &  happy  more  than  ever  was  amazing;  she  almost  craved  it  for  herself  (  though  a  busy  lifestyle  didn’t  allow  for  that.  ).  pearly  whites  shine  from  under  cherry  stained  petals  at  the  others  protest.  “  of  course  !  you  have  to  know  the  second  we  come  back  here  i  FORGET  my  career  as  a  fashion  designer  &  enroll  to  be  your  PERSONAL  hype  girl.  ”  shoulders  jet  upward  in  dismay  haltered  laughter  following  suit.  “  honestly  it’s  not  as  hard  as  you’d  think  !  just  gotta  imagine  what  i’d  L O V E  to  wear  !  or  in  my  case,  what  i’d  love  to  see  you  wear.  ”  she  mustered,  her  smile  faltering  from  it’s  FOOLISH  one  to  a  more  controlled  once  as  she  listened  to  the  other,  nodding  once.  “  as  much  as  i  tease  you  guys  about  it,  i’m  SO  glad  you  two  are  still  together  !  admirable  even,  contemplated  following  in  your  footsteps  even.  ”  shoulders  jet  upward.

“how the hell did i get so lucky to have you as my hype girl? and how do i hire you to be my full time hype girl when we’re out on the road?” she teases with a light smile. leave it alanna to always make her feel like she’s on top of the world, quickly turning this friendship into one rena admired quite a lot. “don’t puke, but i’ve been wearing so many more dresses since i started dating luca,” she laughs with a fake shiver. “i used to never wear dresses, okay. you know me, skinny jeans, booty shorts, or nothing. this boy has really brought out my my girly taste in clothing, but i’m not super mad about it.” her eyebrow rises when the other speaks of almost following in her footsteps, which she knew was nearly impossible for the other to actually do. fear and uncertainty truly was the end all, be all of exploring that part of oneself. “you should! find you someone that’s gonna treat you like the fucking queen you are, babe. i mean, why not, right? sure, you’re a busy girl, but we all can’t have nine to five jobs that allows us to go home at the end of the day and live mundane lives, right?”

“fine” he rolls his eyes and cracks a smile. she does have a point, besides he can’t be that lazy, can he? “ooh, i’ll get a reward for doing my chores? nice,” luca teases, kissing her temple and walking back to the other side of the bed to finish digging out clothes from his duffel back. he raises his eyebrows when he sees rena hiding something behind her back, and soon she’s in the bathroom. immediately, luca opens an empty drawer and tosses everything from the bag into it. who cares about folding anyway? he puts the bag down and rena’s empty suitcase on the floor next to the bathroom door. it’s so nice to have all of their private spaces. when he hears the knob turning, luca sits on the edge of the bed. a smirk grazing his lips as she steps closer. “do i get my reward now?,” he smiles and makes grabby hands at her, urging her to come closer. once her body is between his legs, luca smiles up at her, “i love you” he whispers before placing a soft kiss on her arm.

it was amazing how even after a year of dating, she still got excited to show herself off to luca and share such intimate moments with him. there wasn’t one dull moment that ever occurred between the two, each encounter always feeling like something new was waking up inside of them. so as she standing there, admiring herself in the mirror, a blush begins to form on her cheeks when she feels the butterflies begin to flutter in the pit of her stomach. no matter how long these two were together for, no matter how many times they’ve made love to each other, she hoped this feeling of excitement and longing never faded. heading back out, she noticed he was all done packing, though something told her he just shoved everything in some drawers. it causes her to chuckle before she’s happily melting in his embrace and smiling up at him. “i love you too, sunshine,” she whispers back, this time cupping his face and letting her lips finally explore his own in a deep and passionate embrace. “if you want your reward,” she spoke softly against his lips, “all you have to do is unwrap me to find it.” with that said, she’s guiding his hand to the bottom of her shirt, indicating that he was more than okay to begin literally the floor below with the fabrics they were wearing now.

sinclaiir​:

              dainty  smile  perks  up  across  cherry  stained  petals  as  she  watches  the  other  come  to  sit  next  to  herself,  bright  crystal  like  irises  “  i  was  just  flirting  in  hopes  of  getting  the  better  half;  i’d  be  DOWN  for  a  threesome  just  gotta  remove  your  boyfriend.  literally  like  my  brother.  ”  a  faux  gag  parts  from  thin  lines.  though  the  idea  wasn’t  COMPLETELY  forgotten  about.  glancing  down  at  the  girl  as  she  turned  sides  laying  down  perfectly  manicured  nails  trail  down  the  others  jaw.  “  babes  are  you  KIDDING  me  you  stole  the  eyes  &  hearts  of  everyone  the  second  you  walked  in  here  !  literally  STUNTING  i  wish  i  were  you.  ”  she  continued,  fingers  finally  stopping  at  the  others  jaw  slightly  nudging  it  before  she’s  letting  her  head  hit  the  baseboard  of  her  bed.  “  it  was  CHAOS  tried  to  focus  on  my  fashion  line  but  literally  each  year  is  just  getting  harder.  how  about  you  ?  are  you  still shackled  or  are  you  going  to  be  F U N  this  summer  ?  ”

sirena’s crystal blue hues roll at the other’s words, but her smile is wide and playful nonetheless. these two always had a fun time together, and while she did miss her wild escapades, her heart was happily taken and content with the one person she’s been with for a year now. being with someone else almost felt strange and taboo at this point in her life. there’s a small laugh that leaves her lips at the other’s words, soon shaking her head when the other speaks of rena’s own gorgeous looks. “oh stop, you’re just trying to butter me up,” she teases with a light laugh. “it’s working though, so please don’t stop any time soon.” rena sends the girl an air kiss before she’s resting her head on one of the many pillows. “i have no idea how you fashion designers do it. like i have an eye for cute clothes, but to actually make them from my own imagination? nearly impossible, so i give you all the props, babe. you’ll think of something spectacular, though, just like you always do.” she quickly laughs at the other’s words before nodding her head, “i’m still HAPPILY shackled, thank you very much. can’t believe it’s already been a whole year since we’ve been dating.”

THE BACK OF HER HAND PUSHES dark strands of hair over her shoulder, rolling her eyes. “ i’m not about to pull favors for a cup of coffee, baby. you ever think that my face is good enough for free shit ?? ” to be fair, she also threw in a wink and her social media handle, but.. that’s besides the point. mona manages to pull off her skates, sighing at the relief on her feet. “ it’s like.. foamy, right ?? kinda like a frappe. —i already know that that’s where i’m going every day. they had pastries, too. ” she quickly notes sirena’s surroundings, “ speaking of food, you got your 3 meals of the day already in mind, or something ?? ”

“i’ve actually never thought of that,” she answers with a shrug of her shoulders, though her smile quickly reveals that she’s simply teasing the other. of course mona’s gorgeous features would be enough to earn her something free here in there. how often did they both use their good looks to get away with things when they were younger? too many times, actually, but it made for good memories. “oh god, now i really have to go try it out and see if their pastries are any good. maybe they’ll keep giving pretty girls like us free discounts,” she winks playfully before looking back down at her food choices. “i mean, what all do you need, really? i’ve got fruit, dark chocolate, and now i’ve got some coffee. this is literally all i eat on a daily basis.”

-- it's a butterfly effect

@sirenva​

“just asking for, you know, a friend but that cheesecake with your name on it in the fridge, you didn’t really want that, right? because it’s not there,” she teased. it was like she wanted to get pushed into a pool again but sirena and her were on good terms this time and pay back was about to come. “what are you up to today? i’m so lazy to unpack and i always do it tomorrow.”

all sirena can do is roll her eyes playfully at the other girl, happy that they’ll be starting this summer off on a much better foot than last time, “you’re the absolute worst, you know that? here i was actually about to confess that i missed you this year, but you know what? i’m already tired of your dramatic ass.” all of this is said with a light laugh and playful smile. people probably thought they still hated each other with how they spoke to one another, but it was simply how their friendship worked. “i was thinking of raiding some boutique stores and seeing what greece has to offer in terms of cute fashion. wanna tag along?”

[sirenva]

cartwrightluca​: 

he chuckles when she pulls him back inside and upstairs. what better way to start the summer? “ugh, why. can’t we just leave everything in the suitcases?” he whines, feeling way too lazy to unpack at all. sure, but when it comes to other activities he’s super active. tsk, tsk. back in their room, luca locks the door and kicks off his shoes. he grabs his duffel bag from the floor and sets it on the bed to unzip it and start pulling shirts from it. “oh? what is it?” his eyes are glistening, he always gets excited when rena gets a surprise for him, mainly because they are always amazing. it warms his heart that they can still surprise each other after a year of dating. quickly, he puts his shirts on the dresser before he grabs fistfuls of underwear, throwing them in another drawer. he wants to be done with this already.

“luca, we’re gonna be living here for the entire summer,” she laughs softly. “i promise, you’re gonna get tired of living out of a suitcase after the firs week, let alone for the rest of the time here.” his little while was cute though, and it only made her smile grow that much wider, if that was even possible at this point. setting her own suitcase on the bed, she opens it up and begins to sort her own clothes out and hangs up what needs to be hung and folds what needs to be folded into the dresser they have. “i’d love to show you,” she answers while doing all this, “but sadly, i can not. not until you finish unpacking at least.” she teases him with a flirtatious wink, her lips moving to steal a kiss from his cheek before she’s hiding a dark purple lingerie piece behind her back and heading toward the bathroom to put it on under her clothes. when coming back out, she asks, “almost done, handsome?”

[sirenva]

❮   closed starter for @cansecos​​  ❯    ━━   it’s the first night in greece and already rena can’t sleep. she’s tossing and turning in her shared bed with luca, his comment about his holiday being ruined still circling her mind. it was a subject they had already cleared between the two, and while it was a difficult one, she was happy that managed to work things out and move on from it. she was more than happy to leave it in the past, to never look back on it and focus on her redeeming herself for the next set of holidays with him. was he still lowkey upset with her? so many negative thoughts were running through her mind that she couldn’t stand being in bed anymore. sliding herself out of luca’s arms, she grabs a hair tie and places her messy locks in a small bun as she begins to head out the back and toward the pool. she stopped dead in her tracks when she saw noah already sitting outside. while her curiosity wanted her to ask him if he was okay, a part of her knew she should simply turn around and walk back inside. which demon was the easier of the two to handle right now? “noah?” she calls out softly to him, taking a few hesitant steps forward as her arms crossed over her body. “you okay?” 

[sirenva]

❮   closed starter for @arlocedwards​​   ❯    ━━   ❝ okay, be honest, tell me if this is a super lame idea,” she quickly states to arlo as she rests her head in his lap while her fingers fidgeted together on her stomach. “an album with all acoustic songs,” she begins, letting the words settle in the air for a moment before she begins to explain herself. “so i’ve been really digging acoustic tunes lately, and what if i made an album, could be a small one honestly, where all the songs are acoustic and chill? maybe even make some acoustic versions of our songs and put them on the album. would that be too lame? too boring?” she glances up at the male, a bit worried that this idea was completely stupid, but she knew that even if arlo thought so, he’d at least be nice about it and maybe help her find something different to do. 

[sirenva]

❮   closed starter for @shcnley​​  ❯    ━━   ❝ shanley!” sirena wasted no time in attacking the girl with a huge hug the minute she saw her friend. she’s missed her dearly this past year, and was excited for the two to share a few friendly dates here in paradise. wrapping her arms around the other and giving her a tight squeeze, she pulls back slightly so the two could stand face to face, rena’s smile almost covering her entire face. “i’ve missed you so fucking much, babe. i hope you brought something fancy to wear cause i’m not wasting any time taking you out and treating you to a fabulous night here in greece, okay? so tell me, what all have i missed while we’ve been apart?”

[sirenva]

❮   closed starter for @willowhq​   ❯    ━━   ❝ so have you talked to her yet?” siren was wasting no time this summer in getting willow and dee to finally open themselves up to each other. watching and waiting from the sidelines last summer didn’t do anything for the two, so if that meant she had to get more hands on and blunt, then so be it. besides, it was all for a good cause anyway. clearly the two were meant to be, they were both just too dense to make that first move. good thing rena was the queen of making first moves, in her mind at least. sitting on the other’s bed, she lazily strums her guitar, hoping a random chord will catch her attention and spark an idea, all while her gaze is fixed on the other, “cause you know, there’s no point in you two trying to ignore each other, or act like nothing’s up, because clearly something is. maybe you two will finally break down a few walls in the process, hm?”
