Send 💕 + a name/URL for my muse’s first impression of them
No. Elsa can’t remember when they met or how they got to know each other before becoming roommates but she knew she wasn’t going to sleep with him. Especially as he said that two beautiful people like them should. But besides this first impression, Elsa has shared personal information with Devon and considers him a friend now.
Are you from out of space?
'Cause it feels like my whole mind's been erased
Now it's totally blank, it's totally blank
I fill it up with things you said
Yeah, you take me away

After the fight they had early of this week, Sutton had been so busy with work since her candidate was planning to announce his candidacy next week and there was so many things to take care of before it can happen, not to mention the endless call she got from Senator Truman about coming to his campaign, so she hadn’t see much of Devon lately with her nineteen hours a day work pattern, but this weekend, she finally had a little time and seeing that it’s close to Valentine’s day, she thought she could do something special for Devon.
After a quick text to Devon to tell him to come over tonight at 7.30 to her place, she prepared a dinner with phone stuck to her ear so her mother could tell her step by step to make a steak and her awesome red wine sauce, as well as creme brulee. About half hour before Devon should arrive, she finished everything and get ready for the date. She changed her clothes into a red cut out dress and let her hair free from its usual ponytail, she changed her glasses with her contact and tried to tidy the apartment, stacking all the files about the campaign on one neat pile, at least it won’t be all over the place while she waited for him to arrive.
Summary : After the awkwardness at the party, and the gossip she read, Sutton decided to confront Devon about his flirtatious attitude.
Sutton was livid. After what happened at the party the other day and now the gossip girl post, she was livid and hurt knowing that Devon might not be the guy she though he was. She thought they were exclusive and yet now she found out about all these other girls he was close with. She stomped to his apartment, knocking his door impatiently.
Devon had a rough day at work but it turned around when one of his co workers brought in some pizza for lunch, so Devon had himself a slice. It was a typical day for haround call Sutton. He was going to but Devon wasn't sure if she was still mad about the party and he knew that he would have to either tell the truth about Eden or just lie. Which was what he was going to choose. Chilling around his apartment he was watching The Big Bang Theory when he heard a knock. Going up to the door in his sweats he opened it to see a very pissed Sutton. "Hey Sutton" Devon said with a sweet smile
Sutton saw the sweet smile and usually she'd fall for its charm and throw herself to him, but not this time, not after the other night, not after the gossip girl post, not after the many other girls she suspected. She pushes him inside, "Don't you hey sutton me," she snapped, getting inside the apartment didn't even bother to check of his roommate was there. "So how many girls do you date actually?" she asked with sharp tone, almost threatening. "So there's me and then that girl from the other night and Bentley?" she showed him the post, "Did i miss anyone?"
Devon knew that Sutton was mad and as she was going off, he stood back and took all the daggers she had for him. Sighing as he could explain but knowing it wouldn't be good enough. "That other girl, her name is Eden and she was my high school love. She's going through a lot and we're not dating. What gossip are you talking about? Its not true, its fucking gossip"
Sutton was no fool, of course when it comes to Devon she can be quite foolish but she promised herself not to fall for his sweet charm too easily this time, "Oh so old love, huh?" she snapped again bitterly at the realization this girl might have more history with him than her, "Well I'm sure that gossip is based on something... Are you flirting with her?"
"Yes, old and first love if you want honesty. I'm sorry I have a connection with her, Sutt. We haven't hooked up or anything though if that was your concern" Devon huffed heavily, putting his hand over his face and pinching the bridge of his nose. "You do know it was harmless if I was? If I tell people, oh I'm taken they ask who, and would you rather me lie and make up a girlfriend or just harmlessly flirt?" He questioned.
Sutton watched him with an obvious disbelief, didn't say anything and just listened to him talk with crossed arms in front of her chest. "Why didn't you tell me that we live in the same building with her so I'd understand if we ran into her unless you want to keep it a secret from me?" she asked, sounded more hurt this time, "how about not flirt at all? Say you're not interested or something?"
Devon gave a shaking breathe as he knew he couldn't talk about Eden's personal issues with Sutton. He was feeling guilty that he hadn't said anything as he had a sorry look "You're right. I'm sorry, I should've told you her and I had a history. I guess I didn't want to make you worried. Fine, I'll stop flirting. It was my mistake and it won't happen again" Devon spoke pulling an award winning performance right now
Sutton kept her distance from Devon though it was getting hard with him looking at her with that guilty look on his face like he really was sorry, "If you had told me I won't be jealous thinking there might be something between the two of you," she paused, "Is there? Something between the two of you? More than shared history?" she asked again, looking at him with a suspicious look, "and what about this bentley girl?"
If Devon focused on the history of his relationship with Eden, then maybe Sutton would understand. "Right, and I'm really sorry" He said to Sutton "We were high school sweethearts. First loves and everything but she got in with the wrong crowd, I tried helping her and that's when we drifted. I had to leave for college and we were just reconnecting. Seeing what has happened over he the years. As for Bentley, we were just talking. That's all we did"
Sutton's arms loosened ad it fell to the side of her body, no longer taking a strong stance in protecting herself, "I'm not this kind of person, you know I'm not, but I can't help it, okay? I can't hug you in front of other people, I can't hold your hands, hell I have to pretend I don't know you most of the time and it's killing me..." sutton finally admitted, "I don't want to be this crazy, jealous girlfriend, but if you have any other high school sweetheart around, just tell me okay? I'd understand..."
All of his defenses were down as he spoke to Sutton. He knew the frustrations, it was hard. He went forward and softly took Sutton's hands in his own. "I want that too Sutt, I want to kiss you and not have to say I don't know you. Its hard and it gets the best of us." Giving her a slow passionate kiss, Devon's forehead was against her's as he sighed "No other high school flings I promise"
Sutton let him took her hand though she didn't move at first, waiting for him to come to her, "It's so hard," she was frowning, biting her lower lip before she felt his lips on hers, coaxing her into that slow, passionate kiss that never failed making her melt, this time wasn't an exception. Looking at his own eyes, her free hand reaching up to the side of his face, "I love you," she started, "And if what we have is no longer enough for you, just tell me..."
Devon needed Sutton. He had to have her and not just for the campaign reasons, but more for the fact that she kept Devon grounded. There was no denying that they had chemistry but Devon was going to tell her whatever was needed to make her stay. "I love you so much" He whispered to her
Sutton's hand kept his face close to hers, a small smile appear as he said he love her, and just with that all her doubt was pushed aside and she trusted him again, just like before, just like always. She wrapped her arms around him, she didn't know what will it do to her if he left her, abandoned her just like her parents did to her many years ago. "I love you so much, baby, you know I'll do anything for you..." she whispered to him.
