"oh," he breathes out after a moment, brows furrowing and jaw ticking ever so slightly. he's caught a little off-guard, which is one of his least favorite emotions. "i didn't realize you'd be here." / @gibsvngirl

shaking out his hand, he looked down at it momentarily to see the blood-staining pale knuckles as the other man walked away spewing a load of bullshit under his breath. cerulean hues move up to meet the other's gaze, head shaking adamantly. "really? couldn't fuckin' pick someone less obnoxious?"

It feels like a knife was shoved into her chest when they said the words she didn't expect to hear. "You like someone?" Chloe tries to sound excited for them, even forcing a smile to tug on her lips.

"hey. are you okay?" it was laughable, really, that solomon was so concerned about them and making sure they were okay. they were not the one who had ended up in the fight that solomon did not instigate. the other guy might disagree, might lean towards the narrative that solomon's presence was threatening but he was intending to be the opposite. the discomfort had been coming off of them in waves and solomon had to step in, though he was trying to de-escalate the situation at the time. he presses the sleeve of his shirt against his lower lip, blood still beading at the small cut even now. "he didn't hurt you, did he?"

"you think i don't know you?" billy laughs, it's meaner than it should be. meaner that he's allowed to be. because what say does he have over any of this? it doesn't mean he'll stop, not even when he realises how out of line he is. "you seriously think i don't know what the fuck you're doing? parading yourself around my club with somebody else?" his head shakes and he looks around, unsure if he's hoping for somebody to interrupt this or not but they had headed off in the direction of his office for a reason, hadn't they? "i fucking know you. i know you better than you know yourself. don't play these games with me."

as the silence in the car was somehow speaking louder in her ears, shane let out a sigh as she tried to figure out the next move. they couldn’t exactly stay stranded on the side of the road especially on christmas eve and with the temperatures as low as they are. “this is so stupid,” she whispered softly, undoing her seatbelt and thinking she at least needed to assess whatever caused the car to stop to begin with. “your suggestions are really helpful - wow. thanks.” her voice sarcastic as she opened her car door.
