"You're beautiful, Gemma, I can hardly look away..." Zach to Gemma

Gemma knew she was beautiful. She never really had doubts about it, either. She'd been complimented her whole life. Hell, not to sound even more conceited than she probably did, but her whole family was beautiful. There weren't any exceptions (and if there were, it sure as hell wasn't her).

There was something differed about being told this from Zach, though. Both his voice and expression was so incredibly earnest - she knew he really meant his words. She had the kindest, sweetest, most handsome man she had ever dated and he was speaking to her like this? Her face was on fire. She really didn't know how Heidi lived like this.

"I have really good genes." Gemma laughed, knowing full well he saw her blush. She wasn't the type to look away. That would make things all the more obvious. Plus, she wanted to try and get a blush out of him and she didn't want to miss if she did. "We should combine ours one day." And she'd be lying if she said she hadn't thought about that outcome.

"I feel the same way, you know." Gemma mused, playing footsie shamelessly. She was flirting, but also being completely honest. "About you, I mean. And you might have my favorite smile in the world, so I never want to miss the opportunity to see it. Even if it means you seeing me turn into a tomato in the process."

"I'm sorry I'm getting emotional... my ex just really... fucked me up. It's still hard to talk about sometimes." Zach to Gemma (got cheated on, forgave her, got cheated on again)

It was a longstanding joke in the Carlisle household that Hannah and Gemma were lesbian twins. Obviously, everyone knew that Hannah liked girls and that was that. Gemma, however, swore she was attracted to men while constantly grumbling how much she hated men. And she did! Maybe it was for a lack of luck in the dating department, but she didn’t have much hope with the opposite gender. Unfortunately, she also knew she wasn’t into girls either. That was just Hannah.

She found that her biggest problem was constantly getting the ick on early dates and judging her dates too hard, prematurely. She didn’t see how other women could manage to overlook such cringe behavior. And, maybe in another universe, this would’ve been the exact case when hearing Zach talk about his ex…but, instead, she felt her heartstrings tugging at his confessions. She genuinely couldn’t understand how someone could do that in general, but to him specifically. They were in the early stages of getting to know each other, but he genuinely made Gemma so happy already.

“Hey,” Gemma murmured, placing her hand on top of his and giving it the softest squeeze. “No need to apologize. I’m sorry I asked….you don’t have to talk about it. I’m not judging you.” She promised. It actually pained her that he had this sort of trauma. She didn't blame him for getting choked up in the slightest - part of her was a little concerned she might tear up if he continued.

“I know it doesn't change anything, but I think that girl is so, so stupid.” Gemma told him. Sure, it was the most cliche thing in the book to say, but it was true and she genuinely meant it. She was glad that Zachary found his way to her, but she wished it had been under different circumstances. “I'm not just saying this because I'm currently dating you - and trust me, that is so not reason enough for me to say it - but you're a total catch, Zach.”

When she looked back on this evening, she was sure her words would mortify her, but she was telling herself that since he was basically crying, what did she have to lose? Not that she found it embarrassing that he was…she was just trying to comfort him, after all. And, well, she really liked the guy. “Anyone who doesn't see that has to be blind. Then again, I don't plan on letting you go…so nobody should really look,” She chuckled, “But anyone before me? Oh yeah, super blind.”

"Do you want to come with me?" Zach to Gemma (could be anywhere but my head says like on a drive to pick something up somewhere like hours away)

If this was any other man, Genma probably would’ve gotten the ick. Zachary and her had only been dating seriously for about two months, so this was a completely appropriate question to ask, but she was very usually far more skeptical. She seriously wished she was like Hannah and liked women with how much she distrusted the opposite sex. Unfortunately, though, she was cursed being attracted solely to men.

It every other guy was like Zach, maybe she wouldn’t have such an issue dating. Part of her was glad that he was one of a kind. She liked that she had the kind of guy that anyone would be attracted to. The fact that her parentd already gushed about him after only meeting him once spoke wonders to her. It went without saying that she was absolutely smitten with him.

“Yes!” Gemma agreed, hoping he would ask her. She was with him when Mason gave him the call about a supplier almost 3 hours away with a crazy sale on beef. They’d just finished breakfast. “I’ve never been to that part of England before!”

They didn’t have plans for the rest of the day, so she was kinda grateful this came up. She already had the plan to ask him to hang out more, but this pretty much ensured she’d have the rest of the day with Zach. “If Mason isn’t in a total rush, we should totally stop somewhere fun for lunch and snacks.”

“If you don’t get turned on by having your neck kissed somethings wrong with you.” / [text] I gave up great shower sex to be here so don’t say I never did anything for our friendship.

“If you don’t get turned on by having your neck kissed somethings wrong with you.” 

“All I’m saying is that the neck is great and all, but the ear is where it is at. I swear, if you just whisper just the right way... instant lady boner."
