dis-le moi, dis-le moi si tu te sens seul. au milieu de la foule, quand plus rien ne sait toucher ton cœur. dis-le moi, dis-le moi si ça fait trop mal. on t'a tellement déçu. que tu dis qu'avoir mal, c'est normal. tu l'sais, dans la vie, on s'est tous plantés.

        MAYBE SHE WASN’T THE BEST at being subtle, but right now the only thing on the blonde’s mind was getting her answers, and this man was the only one who had them for her. her nose scrunched up as she listened to him speak, and the roll of her eyes was more out of amusement than annoyance, “i’m just saying, if a hippo swallows it, that’s your head on the table.” she noted with a shrug, arms crossing over her chest as she finally got him to turn entirely to her, a smile breaking across her lips as he seemingly was going to give her something to work with. although her smile faltered for a minute at his answer, that wasn’t exactly what she wanted to hear, “right, i’m not taking it personal, i was just wondering. it’s not a big deal, totally chill.” cher said as nonchalantly as she possibly could, tossing some golden locks over her shoulder, “okay, has he mentioned anyone named cher horowitz?” that was a direct question, but it’s not like the guy really knew who she was anyways.

        " holy fuck, ” patrick breathed, amusement alight on his expression and reaching his dark optics as he chuckled. slowly, purely to keep her on her toes, he took a long sip of his beer before rotating his body to allow him to face her. “ you’ve been mentioned. i thought he’d got some newfound interest in actual cher, i didn’t realise anyone else would dare share the name cher. ” his wordplay only caused his grin to widen before, almost entirely, it disappeared and turned into a feigned serious frown. “ you’re brave, young cher. i can only wish you luck. ” he knew he was being an idiot, the playful glimmer in his eyes radiated that fact, but somehow he couldn’t help it. messing with people was one thing, messing around with sebastian’s potential girlfriend was another entirely. both sparked tremendous joy. “ okay, so you wanna know what he’s said because you think he’s a pretty guy, right ? ” patrick’s arms folded across his chest as he pondered this, not really leaving enough room for her to argue back. “ well, he’s definitely said you’re hot. again, i thought he was talking about old cher so i just gave him a line about a cougar which now makes little sense, which sucked because it was wicked. -- listen, he’s not said much, but i can investigate. y’know, be a spy for you, because there’s nothing i love more than fucking with my boy seb. in a nice way. ” he pulled a face, “ most of the time. ”

       OF COURSE HE REMEMBERED all the little things when it came to mia, though he never said anything out loud about his feelings for her, they were certainly there below the surface in the little things he did. so he knew she was more of a beer to wine, a sneaker to stilletos, and that was one of the things that caught his eye to begin with. at least she didn’t seem as on edge around him, maybe the last talk they had together did more good than he thought it did, “well, i like it, it’s a total mia staple and you shouldn’t completely change yourself to fit this place and it’s weird standards. i mean, i’m not the type to really dress up to the nines either, obviously.” and he motioned to his own get up, it was his own way of dressing up, a printed button up shirt and some dark jeans, finished off with some leather vans. “not exactly george clooney, but it’ll do.” the awkward silence that sat in the air at his comment made him nibble on the inside of his cheek, drumming his fingers against the side of his plastic cup, “oh, yeah, right….a bit of both? our socials have grown, sebastians the lead guy here so….they usually contact him. i think we might be even getting a manager soon, which is unreal??”

        mia was girly and enjoyed being girly, but there were some things about her that no amount of royal training would ever rid her of; she would never like wine, she’d always prefer trainers and pencil skirts were nobodies friend. a little glimmer of a smile appeared on her lips as she took a sip, it was merely nice to know that cliff remembered that small part of what she’d informed him. “ i’m just surprised you’ve not got any chipped nail varnish. that, to me, is your version of dressing smart. ” she couldn’t help but tease with a playful smile as she did so. “ no way ? ” mia exclaimed, momentarily forgetting that this was the guy who’d ghosted her. now it felt instead like two friends, talking about achievements. it was nice to hear he was doing well, whatever had passed between them, just in the same way it was nice to know that michael was doing well. everything seemed to be panning out in a nice way, which in her mind meant that some sort of embarrassing disaster was on its way soon. “ cliff, that’s insane. i’m so happy for you guys. does this mean i’m going to have to schedule appointments to hang out with you all ? maybe attend meet and greets with the fans to have a small crumb of attention ? ” a cheeky expression appeared now, the ghost of how it used to be, but it was returning slowly nonetheless.

Um, never mind. I’ll show you later.” Cady promised, shaking her head but already planning an all day binge session of her latest obsession. She then nodded, understanding Mia’s predicament. Cher was great, but sometimes had a hard time letting go of whatever perfect vision she had in her head. “Say less, I totally get what you mean.” She agreed, her eyes growing wide as images of her 20th birthday started replaying in her head. “I promise I won’t tell her. Just make sure you get some pictures with the shoes?” Cady shrugged. “After all, a picture is worth a thousand words, right?” Of course, that would have to be on the list of things they did before running into the ocean, although the longer the night went on the slimmer the chance of that actually happening became. “Oh, come on! I have a change of clothes in the trunk of my car that you can totally borrow.” Cady promised, hoping that this would sweeten the deal. Although, she totally got where the blonde was coming from. “If you think ditching your heels is liberating, wait until you try running straight into the cold water with all your close on.” 

          “ okay, i’ll take your world for it. is this sleepover and ice cream territory ? ” mia asked, quirking a dark brow toward her friend. after all, the pair of them had spent many an hour in front of the television watching endless amounts of movies and tv shows. “ yeah, very good point. but, in my defence, i feel like she’ll be proud of me ! dress ? uncreased. belt ? shining. earrings ? sparkly. ” mia signalled to each item with her index finger as she listed them, hoping that cady would validify her thoughts before she faced the wrath of cher. or, as she hoped, a small disappointed sigh that would be laced with a lack of care due to alcohol intake. yep, her plan was well thought out and structured. “ cady, stop being a bad influence ! ” the brunette laughed, shaking her head. “ okay, how about this. i’ll have a couple more drinks, we’ll get into the new year and hopefully we’ll both be so past the point of caring that we’ll do it. hell, you can even set a reminder on your phone, that’s how serious i am. ”

          “      maybe    ,    just    maybe    my    threatening    tactics    are    actually    not    supposed    to    be    all    that    threatening    ?    maybe    i    wanna    keep    you    out    of    trouble    but    i    still    wanna    pretend    i    got    some    sort    of    upper    hand    going    on    .    but    shh    ,    you’re    not    supposed    to    know    that    .    it’ll    ruin    my    whole    cover    .      “      michael    smiled    back    ,    still    sitting    down    on    the    sand    ,    the    water    slowly    getting    closer    and    closer    to    his    shoeless    feet    .    it    felt    like    he    had    been    sitting    out    there    for    awhile    now    .    watching    as    the    water    moved    inch    by    inch    ,    slowly    working    it    way    to    swallow    him    whole    .    despite    the    bottoms    of    his    blue    jeans    being    rolled    up    just    below    his    knee    ,    the    bottom    of    his    jeans    still    managed    to    be    a    little    damp    as    he    sat    in    the    sticky    sand    .    a    small    smile    spread    over    the    males    lips    as    he    looked    around    at    their    surroundings    before    his    eyes    focused    back    on    the    water    in    front    of    them    .    the    small    amount    of    light    coming    from    the    different    parties    around    them    .      (      it    was    a    beautiful    night    ,      )      there    was    no    doubt    in    michael’s    mind    that    it    was    beautiful    .    the    water    was    calm    ,    there    was    a    slight    booming    in    the    background    from    the    music    playing    up    the    beach    at    the    party    ,    the    air    was    cool    ,    the    stars    were    out    .    it    was    nice    .

      ⏤    pushing    himself    up    ,    michael    outstretched    his    arms    as    if    he    was    taking    it    all    in    ,    taking    a    deep    breath    ,    he    closed    his    eyes    before    opening    them    and    glancing    over    at    mia    ,    the    smile    crossing    over    his    features    once    again    .      “      eh    ,    i    guess    it’s    okay    .      “      teasing    around    he    shook    his    head    .      “      no    ,    it’s    a    pretty    ideal    spot    for    song    writing    .    but    it’s    also    not    the    worst    place    to    go    to    just    forget    about    everything    for    a    second    .    to    let    your    mind    go    completely    empty    .      “      raising    his    shoulders    up    and    down    ,    he    kept    his    eyes    on    her    for    a    moment    before    looking    back    out    at    the    water    .      “      you    look    nice    ,    by    the    way    .      “

         “ michael, don’t tell me you’re going soft on me ? ” she asked, although laughter was laced within her tone as she leaned over, her fingertip nudging his ribs in a playful motion. “ i expect this sort of nice behaviour from a lot of people, but from you ? ouch. i’m going to need to go to lilly for a good dose of trouble. ” whilst mia didn’t actively go out of her way to get into trouble, she often found herself in it. michael had seen that first-hand for a long time how she just attracted it. in fact, it had been a fair few months since her last royal scandal, but only days since her last spot of trouble. the mere thought of it made a sheepish smile grow on her lips. she was in near constant meetings with grandma about blocking press or stopping stories or needing to be more careful ! but now, here, she felt truly at peace. friends, a beach and a fresh start, what more could anyone want ?

             mia knew michael was messing around with her, and just to signify her playful annoyance, she rolled her eyes, though unable to keep the smile from adorning her red lacquered lips. as he spoke of emptying his mind, she signed blissfully, her gaze remaining firmly on the far off horizon. having an empty mind, even for a matter of moments, seemed like some far off fantasy in the ‘ game of thrones ’ realms of probability. “ mmm, i know, ” the brunette hummed, unsure how to respond without sounding entirely miserable. she wasn’t ! she just wished for a slither of normality and quiet in her otherwise frantic life, and this seemed like too a deep conversation to be having on the approach to the new year. “ oh-- thank you. cher has a talent for stealing the things from my wardrobe that are unacceptable for a party. all my mom jeans suspiciously disappeared, ” she laughed heartily, her fingertips smoothing down the silk of the dress, a small blush upon her features. compliments... they still didn’t quite sink in, even from michael. “ you look nice too. you look-- ” this was a good time for her brain to stop working, wasn’t it ? so she went for an oldie but a goldie to avoid possible awkwardness, “ clean. ” ... shit. “ i mean clean shaven. obviously. -- we’ll stick with nice too. ”

Ugh, how was Patrick able to take every insult with a smile on his face? It was one of his most annoying qualities, Bianca decided as she rolled her eyes and took another sip of her drink. There was no way she was gonna stay sober if she had to spend the night with Patrick. “Oh, do you? Is that why you’re with all of them right now?” She asked, raising an eyebrow quizzically. The only friends Bianca had ever known Patrick to have was her sister and her ex, not exactly a winning combination in the youngest Straford’s eyes. “Ew, and have all that janky club lighting ruin any pictures I take tonight? Pass.” She huffed, looking over Patrick’s shoulder as she tried to lock eyes with anyone else. It was a shame, Bianca actually used to like Patrick. He’d been the only one who could match her sister’s terrifying wit, plus he’d always been fairly nice to her. But there were sides in a break up, and Bianca was very clearly #TeamKat. “Are’t there some wasted co-eds who wanna change you somewhere?”

          “ currently, two out of three of them are talking to women. sadly, i’m talking to a girl, which is a bit of a shame but i’ll think of it as charity. ” he smirked widely, unable to stop himself from making a comment like that because he knew it would infuriate her, and he also know she’d be formulating a comeback in an instant. with bianca ( unlike kat ) you could practically see the cogs whirring as she came up with her witty response. when they were friends, he’d thought of it as a truly endearing quality. he didn’t have anything against her, but he understood why she wasn’t his biggest fan as the ex-boyfriend of her sister. he and kat ended on pretty good terms because he’d gone traveling and she’d gone to university so it seemed... natural to end it there with the potential of picking things up in the future. “ there she is, ” he murmured with a chuckle into the rim of his bottle. her one-liners were simply hilarious. “ oh absolutely, there was a whole gaggle of them gossiping about me before you screamed over a firework.. ”

The young zoologist’s eyes widen in recognition. After binging all of Bridgerton on Netflix in under 24 hours, how could she not? “A long line of suitors? Why, Miss Thermopolis however will you choose a suitable man to marry? Such a scandal will certainly be Lady Whistledown’s social papers!” She teased, a faux horrified look twisting her delicate features. Cady should have known that Mia had also loved the Gossip Girl meets Jane Austen soap opera. If their 6 hour High School Musical/Camp Rock marathon had been any indication, the two women shared similar television taste. “What? Why would she be mad? You look sexy.” Cady hiccuped, shamelessly looking Mia up and down. “You know what? Screw these.” With a growl, she started to attack the buckle of her shoes, trying to wrestle them off with little finesse. “Now, what is stopping us from running into the ocean right now?”

        “ ah yes, didn’t you realise ? i’m a sought after lady with a dowry in the form of a country. ” the sad thing was, she knew it was only a matter of time before she actually had to get married. “ lady whiz--what ? ” she asked. mia was behind the times and desperately needed to catch up with most things pop culture. hell, she’d only just watched the first few episodes of the crown ( which terrified her, so she ate a whole tub or ice cream and then turned it off before seeking comfort in fat louie ). “ she’d be mad because her vision is incomplete ! c’mon, i look fine and then you get down to these guys and i know she’d shake her head, but i decided my lack of breaks in my ankles is worth her anger. ” mia didn’t deal with compliments all that well, and even though cady was one of her best friends, the flush of red still flourished over her features. it took all she had not to reject it, and that was something she was determined to work on. when she kicked off her own heels, mia clapped ( awkwardly given one cup still in her hand ) and cheered. “ yes cades ! see, don’t you feel better ! but, i believe stopping me from going into the sea is the distinct possibility of ruining this dress. ”

             WHEN SHE ZONED OUT, he was half tempted to wave a hand in front of her face to reality check her back down to earth, but she finally spoke and took the drink. a sigh of relief mentally escaping him that she didn’t shove it back at him and tell him to get lost entirely, so his smile widened a bit, “yeah, no problem, it’s not new years if you’re not drinking right?” cliff offered with a nod of his head, looking over her outfit with a nod of his head, “i’m guessing the converse were an added mia touch? well, you look great…i already said that but, uh, yeah…you do.” and he meant it, she had always been so effortlessly beautiful, glowing with this radiance that was seemingly unmatched for those around her. even without the whole get up, he knew that she was able to dazzle a room, paint covered jeans and all. as she called him out, he chuckled and took a sip to match her own, “well, what can i say, a new year is full of new possibilities right? a chance to right or wrongs or whatever…” he admitted as his gaze lingered on her, teeth sinking into his bottom lip, gaze quickly moving from her and out to the sky to try and change the subject, “i just have a feeling this year is going to be great for our music, that halloween gig has gotten so much attention, so that’s….nice.”

          when he handed her the drink, she offered an appreciative, soft sort of smile and took a long sip of the beer in the cup. at least he’d remembered she wasn’t a wine sort of girl ! “ very good point. ” she failed to mention that she’d already had a few drinks throughout the evening and this one would probably send her just over the edge to teetering around the tipsy mark, which shared both good and bad possibilities; good in that she might stop feeling so nervous around cliff, bad in that she’d probably word vomit a ridiculous amount. the silk dress and perfectly waved hair was a far cry from her usual mom jeans splattered with paint and some old band shirt. “ the converse were a mia preservation sort of touch, because heels are bad enough on normal day, add sand to the mix and it would’ve been like bambi on ice. ” she rolled her eyes at herself and her own stupidity, but it was a light motion, that much was evident through the small trickle of laughter that fell from her brims. however, his ‘ right from wrong ’ moment made her turn back to the sea. awkwardly, she didn’t really know what to say, so she just hummed for a moment, taking a sip from her cup, but allowing him to lead the conversation here. “ oh really ? from fans or the big guys ? ”

[sochaleur]

tctallybuggin​:

           MAYBE IT WAS A BIT impulsive, or a lot, for her to storm up to a stranger with demands like hers…but, cher was nothing if not persuasive and dead set on getting what she wanted. right now, she wanted answers, and this guy harbored some of them. the blonde wouldn’t have been so pressed if it wasn’t for sebastian not answering her last text, instead being left on read on new years eve and running into an ex were a mixture of vibes that cher refused to leave unchecked. peering up at this man, her head fell to the side, “you know a bird could choke on that cigarette butt and die? my friend cady would be pissed to see you do that, but, right now we have bigger fish to fry.” she explained, waving her hand before pointing a finger in his direction, “first off, i’m not, i’m just a naturually curious person, my father says getting answers is better than being completely clueless. now, spill, does he typically not text back during big events like this or??”

         realisation sparkled in patrick’s eyes when cher spoke, his amused expression only dialling up further now. now things took a turn: anyone who was a friend of cady’s he generally assumed was a decent person. well, unless it was regina george, the shit he’d heard about that girl painted her in as negative a light as joey donner in his mind. “ don’t worry, cady will be too busy worrying about the conservation of the hippos to be overly concerned about my smoking habits. ” the boy looked back toward the small girl, tearing his eyes away from the horizon. in fact, his whole body turned to one side to give her his utmost attention. “ i can’t say i’ve been too interested in his texting habits, but he’s a busy guy, got loads of people to talk to. don’t take it too personal. ” he shrugged lightly. “ i assume you don’t just want to know about the way he texts. so while i’ve got alcohol in my system and i’m feeling more generous, i’m gonna give you two questions i’ll consider. ”

          it    seemed    fitting    enough    that    mia    would    be    the    one    that    michael    would    end    up    alone    and    away    from    the    party    with    .    despite    everything    ,    he    liked    being    around    her    .      (      maybe    that’s    why    he    ruined    it    all    in    the    first    place    ?      )      because    things    were    always    so    comfortable    with    mia    for    michael    .    even    if    she    was    rambling    about    something    ,    mia    would    always    be    a    little    piece    of    home    for    michael    .    sure    ,    that    sounds    like    a    good    thing    ,    so    why    would    he    ruin    it    ?    and    the    truth    was    michael    had    a    hard    time    believing    he    deserved    certain    things    especially    when    it    started    to    get    too    good    .    nevertheless    ,    as    un  -  ironically    ironic    as    it    was    that    they    ended    up    on    the    beach    together    ,    michael    was    glad    it    was    her    .    even    if    at    times    being    around    her    made    him    want    to    spontaneously    combust    and    disappear  .    that    was    besides    the    point    …      “      hey    ,    don’t    question    my    threatening    tactics    .      “      he    laughed    ,    it    was    seemingly    easy    to    joke    around    with    her    as    if    they    were    just    two    friends    sitting    on    the    beach    .      “      i’ll    have    you    know    ,    thinking    up    poetic    lyrics    to    go    along    with    indie    rock    type    beats    on    the    beach    is    reserved    for    specific    times    .    times    that    i    can’t    disclose    or    i’ll    have    to    kill    you    and    that’s    not    blood    i    want    on    my    hands    .    sorry    ,    it’s    top    secret    information    ,    princess    .      “      leaning    back    ,    micheal    used    his    elbows    to    hold    himself    up    as    he    leaned    back    onto    the    sand    .      “      but    yeah    ,    just    taking    a    breather    .    taking    in    the    last    bit    of    the    year    .      “

              michael’s presence made her nervous. mia absolutely couldn’t fathom why, they’d known each other for so long and arguably she knew him better than anyone else, so why did she feel so uneasy ? it was strange because the moment that thought entered her mind was the exact moment it left, because there he was... laughing, like nothing negative had ever passed between them. “ you only have your terrible threat tactics to blame for this ! i expected someone who’s known me for so long to do slightly better, ” she returned somewhat seriously. however, as expected, her lips began to turn up at the edges ( despite a valiant battle against it ) and she ended up laughing along with him. her blue gaze traveled to the horizon for a moment, and then straight up to the stars, shining and dancing happily in the inky toned sky. mia, dressed in a silk, deep navy strappy dress -- that cher had picked out, naturally -- which was cinched in by a chunky belt at her waist, pushed her knees away from her chest and pushed her -- somewhat tattered, to cher’s dismay -- converses to the side, allowing the waves to lap around her ankles. “ as the future head of state, ” mia began challenging him, pointing an index finger, “ i think it’s your duty to tell the sovereign information such as this. ” the brunette shot him a grin, “ and also i would argue this is a prime opportunity to write songs. i mean, look. ” her head turned back to the horizon. parties littered the beach as it sat on the curve of the ocean, the stars twinkled happily amid a few wispy clouds. it seemed to her like the perfect song writing or film making or photo capturing sort of place. in fact, she pulled her iphone from atop of her converses to blissfully snap a couple of shots.
