walking away.

when we we're around, when we were, try not to think about it, baby, running up and down still, til there's nothing left for, but what would we say?

[wtfjt]

when i came on this show i was taken by surprise. 1. by you being here. and 2. actually finding it in me to forgive you. and we both know i hate surprises. but i think they were the two best surprises of my life so far. i didn't realize how empty my life was after we broke up and having you back in it just solidified the feelings in me that never went away. this experience has been truly special and one of a kind but with this card i'm asking if you would continue it with me?

if i didn't continue this, i'm so certain me from the future would come back in time just to slap me upside the head, because we both know losing you was not only my biggest mistake but my biggest regret. and i really mean this when i say that if i hadnt dated you the first time i wouldnt be who i am today, i know it wasn't great but i needed that, to learn from and open my eyes to the fact that when i'm with you i'm better, you've changed me for the better, corrine. because without you i'd be missing a huge part of my life and of me. and if you hadn't forgiven me yet theres nothing that would stop me from trying to prove to you that now that i've had you theres no going back or finding anyone else, because if theres one thing i know for sure is that i'd like to keep making you smile and when i close my eyes at night all i can think about is how much i'd rather be sleeping next to you, waking up next to you, and how your hand feels intertwined with mine. there's nothing stopping me from saying yes. i've always wanted you corrine, and to think i even tried fooling myself that i could want someone else, was a nice try, but ultimately pointless, cause i'd always end up here, in casablanca, with you.

“please, watching gossip girl when i was eleven was the least of my parents worries. i was going to raunchy cast parties and staying out all hours by the time i was fifteen. you could say i was a bit of a serena vanderwoodson in my youth,” the girl laughed lightly not knowing how much he would believe if that. but it was true. before she fully dedicated herself to the arts it was late nights and crazy parties without a care from her parents. “oh yeah i forgot about eric, that’s a good guess. i just think that when the show came to an end they needed someone to be gossip girl and they drew names from a hat and dan came up. there is no way in hell they planned it from the beginning. my neighbor got me hooked on nineteen kids and counting and it’s like drugs i swear. i can’t get enough of their crazy, weird life.” there probably wasn’t anyone else that corrine would share her guilty pleasures with except jt. “i really missed this. and i didn’t realize it until now,” corrine admitted and sighed happily as she snuggled closer to him. she pulled his arm around her torso and began to play with his fingers aimlessly as her eyes watched the show. delicate circle patterns and swirls is what her fingertips traced onto his skin, her body relaxing and nerves at ease.

he laughed, “oh wow, i mean i can’t say the same but i definitely got myself into a bit of trouble, even when i was fifteen. i can see that, that’s pretty fitting too, since i see myself as a mix of nate and dan.” considering her parents and their status he was able to connect the dots on how she’d managed to even get into such situations. though he was maybe a bit surprised that she openly accepted those situations, but figured that maybe her taste of the wild life was one of the reasons she was drawn to him. especially when most of jt’s life consisted of partying and drinking and of course, sex. “i think after that one scene where dan came to the bar for serena and it’s all been a trap for gossip girl they were like why not kill two birds, and say he was there for her but also as gossip girl. which is just another way of picking his name out of a hat ‘cause he fit one circumstance. but it also just doesn’t make sense georgina came around and made him take over as gossip girl, like how did she not figure it out? she’s a bitch but she was a smart one, you know? i never watched that but i was hooked on supernanny for a bit, i literally was scared she’d come through my door, like i knew if she showed up i’d been screwed.” gossip girl had a lot of plot holes, ones he’d thought about but was never able to discuss once they’d broken up, but what surprised him more was how much he still remembered and thought about it, how invested he was into one show that he’d cherished when he was with her, when he cherished her. he looked at her, a smiled, caressing her cheek with his thumb, “me neither,” he leaned in and kissed her softly, “i don’t want to lose you again.”

[wtfjt]

fckincorrine:

“looking back on it now, yes, it was obviously kristen bell. but having first watched it when i was eleven i could not put two and two together okay?” corrine laughed trying to defend herself. “i’m glad they did it too. but making dan gossip girl is not something i pictured. i seriously thought it was dorota or nelly yuki or something. not dan humphries. but whatever, plot twists were big in twenty twelve i guess. jenny was fine in season one and then she became an ungrateful brat to her dad which is not okay. like sneaking out and being rude when he’s already being awesome and sending her to that school in the first place? i’m glad you took a liking to the show. i never pegged you for a gossip girl lover. maybe 90210 but not gossip girl. hey, maybe they watch it in secret too?” laughing at the thought of jt being caught watching gossip girl, corrine settled back down in her spot. she handled the bottle of bubbly to jt and subconsciously rested her head on his shoulder. her attention was on the screen as the show began and she thought of how happy she was in that moment. 

“okay, okay, if you were eleven i can’t blame you, but if you were eleven watching gossip girl that’s so young? there’s a lot of adult content on this show, corrine. how’d your parents let you watch that?” he teased. “that was so stupid. like he showed up once as like a hint but i still didn’t buy it. dorota i believe, or even eric. but dan? why would he write himself as lonely boy? like of all the things he could’ve written why that, like he was supposed to be a good writer too but he made that mistake? absolute bullshit. jenny never learned either, i was so glad when she finally left the show. i didn’t think i would originally, but considering the reality tv show stuff i watch, it was right up my alley, except better then i thought it’d be. i’ve never watched 90210, i watched lost though. now that, that’s a great show, has plot holes but it’s good. nah, i doubt it but if they do, i’d be a little pissed they didn’t tell me.” he chuckled a bit, had his friends actually watched gossip girl he wouldn’t know what he’d do, they’d probably all make fun of each other at first but it’d be hilarious. taking the bottle of champagne from corrine, he brought it up to his lips and took a good swig of it, jt hadn’t drank much champagne before a bit too expensive for him wallet but he had to admit he enjoy the bubbly light beverage. he put his arm around corrine as they watched the screen, kissing her forehead, as serena vanderwoodsen appeared on the screen.

[wtfjt]

jfcserena:

“three cheers for the happy couple?” serena replied with a hint of sarcasm. “i still don’t know how you managed to get her to forgive you that fast. are you a wizard or something? i bet it’s the red hair. you’re a leprechaun for sure.” the girl smiled at her own jokes and waved off his excuses. “you could get anything on this island that you asked for. even true love.”

“three dates, too.” he chuckled. “still not sure, i’d definitely say ask me a couple years from now when i’m older and wiser. but even then i still don’t think i’d know. keep saying that and i might actually start telling people that i am.” he joked. “i might try that next week, ask for something really rare or stupid and see if production delivers.”

[wtfjt]

evemiller:

eve looked at him sadly. “no i came to apologize.” she said quietly. “what i said was out of line. i was hurting because of multiple reasons and i took it out on you. it wasn’t right. i shouldn’t have lashed out at you. i’m sorry jt.” she looked down and bit her lip.

“oh?” jt was actually surprised to hear her say that, part of him felt like she had every reason to be upset with him. while maybe all the anger wasn’t all his fault he did feel like maybe his unintentional actions didn’t help it whatsoever. “i mean, hey, no worries, yeah? i totally get it. plus i probably have some fault to it anyways, so i’m sorry too.”

[wtfjt]

fckincorrine:

“you lie sometimes,” she clarified, but laughed it off. “i don’t think so. but what’s classier than drinking right out of the bottle? nothing. also i have to agree with that statement.” corrine accepted the rose and the kiss on her cheek with a warm smile. she found a small vase and filled it with water to place the rose in and set it next to the champagne bottle. once in place, the girl scooted her petite body up against the pillows and spread her legs out in the shape of a four. “for the longest time i didn’t even know it was kristen bell. actually, i don’t think i knew it was her until i finished watching the series for the first time. also, jenny was fine until she tried to become blair. no one can replace blair, okay? if we’re being honest i haven’t watched it without you either. i tried, because it’s gossip girl and i love it but it was just too big of a reminder.” jt had taken over a lot of things in her life when they were together and when he left he still left his mark on those things like her netflix habits or the types of scripts she wrote. “well let’s get this date started, yeah?” the blonde pressed play on the remote and reached over to grab the bottle on the nightstand. she got up on her knees and aimed the cork away from the pair and let it ‘pop’ as the intro to the show played. taking the first swig, the bubbles filled her up and she already felt at ease. 

“i don’t try to.” he pointed out with a smile. “can’t not agree.” he chuckled. kicking his shoes off, before moving himself up the bed, laying down next to her, resting his head on his arm. he shook his head, teasing, “shame on you. i knew straight away, her voice is one that’s hard to forget, especially like after seeing forgetting sara marshall at least ten times. but that cameo at the end was great, i’m so glad they did that, it was hilarious. okay, true, but jenny always wanted to be popular even in the beginning, and she was never loyal and she made so many dumb choices. but trying to come for blair was obviously like the dumbest decision. me too, that and well, making commentary to myself just wasn’t as enjoyable. that and i’d have to change it if my mates walked in.” he chuckled. gossip girl was really only a guilty pleasure he indulged in with corrine, and every time he’d thought of the show he’d thought of the upper east sider, herself. he grinned, “please!” instead of watching the tv, jt couldn’t help but watch her open the bottle, a smile on his face, happy to have her there with him.

[wtfjt]

fckincorrine:

the blonde was casually flipping through a magazine as she waited for jt to come knocking at her door. she didn’t really know what she expected from the night, but if last week was any indicator then it was sure to be a fun filled night. there as no denying the dense sexual tension the two had whenever they were in a room together and it was getting harder and harder for corrine to ignore it. she was glad she didn’t have to split her attention this week with another date and was glad that jt didn’t have to either. whether it was jealousy or something else, seeing him go on other dates stirred up something inside of her. with a knock at the door the blonde was jolted out of her thoughts as she leaped off the bed and pulled the door open with excitement. the girl paused for a moment at the door and looked jt up and down. on their first two dates he had looked handsome and cleaned up and sharp. but now he was comfortable and casual, which corrine almost liked better. “you actually brought champagne,” she laughed and shook her head as she ushered him inside.

“course i did, i don’t lie, remember?” he walked on into her room, placing the bottle of champagne down onto the nightstand. “you have glasses right? ‘cause i didn’t have enough hands to bring them, with the thorns and all, i mean, it is just one, but it’s the simple things. plus we’ll we both know red is a very good color on you.” he grinned, obviously hinting at the red dress she’d worn on their last date, as he twirled the rose in his hand, he walked on over to her and took her hand in his, kissing her cheek as he handed the rose over to her. he walked on back to the bed. motioning to the tv, “you know, i can’t believe i’m saying this but i honestly miss kristen bell saying ‘you know you love me, xoxo gossip girl,’ i also have zero doubt that i’ll still dislike jenny, that and i don’t doubt for a second that i missed watching this with you? like that probably sounds ridiculous because well, it’s gossip girl, but i haven’t watched it since i was with you. i couldn’t.” he looked at her, “didn’t feel right.”

[wtfjt]

jfcserena:

“fuck me, man. why is everyone getting their panties in a twist over these date cards?” the girl spoke to no one in particular but was curious all the same. though she had gotten rejected, she didn’t really care. she wasn’t here to find love or settle down with anyone. just to have fun and possibly stir up some drama along the way. “does anyone really expect to find true love while here?”

“well, luckily enough i’m actually not connected to that mess, this time.” he chuckled. “i think my date card situation went pretty great not gonna lie. but i wouldn’t exactly use the words true love, but i didn’t expect to find anything close to a relationship here, but i’m not gonna runway from it either.”

[wtfjt]

fckincorrine:

@wtfjt​

a third date? a third date indeed. corrine hardly wanted to go on her first date with jt and here she was asking him on a third. the two had managed to be civil, well more than civil, with each other since arriving and things were looking up. the blonde felt as if she had fully given her trust back to him and that they were well on the road to rekindling a lost relationship. staying in for once sounded nice and relaxing. and seeing how close things got to staying in the last time it was more than welcome. having cleaned her room after trashing it to decide on what to wear for the night in, she stood at her vanity mirror and touched up her face. trying to make it not so obvious how hard she was trying to look nice. she wore a pair of shorts and a tank top to combat the humid air of havana and let the open windows bring in a cool breeze. netflix was primed and ready with the first episode of gossip girl on the screen as she waited for jt to arrive.

at this point, jt already felt like things with corrine were very reminiscent as to how they were when they were together. and he wasn’t against it, not one bit. he welcomed the familiarity, and found comfort in it being mutual this time around, it’s not like jt was worried about the other guy’s she went on dates with, but jt still had doubt about whether he was good enough for her, and he figured going on a date with someone else might’ve opened her eyes to that. but even the thought of a calm hangout to remind him of the good old days was more then enough to bring a smile to his face and get rid of his worries.  and this time around he wasn’t nervous or even a bit anxious about trying to impress her, he figured he’d already shown his stripes, and that she’d accepted them. he wore a loose henley and a pair of running shorts to match and his classic adidas, holding the fanciest bottle of champagne he could find or that production was willing to give him, and a rose for the girl. he knew they were just spending the day together watching gossip girl but he figured a toast was definitely needed, for them making it this far. he knocked on the door, more then excited to see the girl behind it.

[wtfjt]

Hey, third time's the charm right? What do you say to another dazzling night out? Or in?

you, i can't say no to.

[wtfjt]

smhsage:

❛ You always so lazy, JT.❜  she teased him, softly touching his shoulder. ❛ What if I do this?❜  And then she gave him her infamous puppy dog look, hoping to change his mind.

“nah, i’m active, i do things, totally, i mean i wouldn’t be in shape if i was lazy,” he shook his head. he chuckled, “that doesn’t work, sage, plus like, where would anyone find fries in cuba? you’d find tostones, like ten times quicker. now, that, cuban, food would be so much better right now. i could go for like a handful of croquettes right now.”

[wtfjt]

fckincorrine:

“just because you’re you and you know me doesn’t mean i’m going to stop being me,” she replied with a playful smirk. seeing jt become flustered and embarrassed by her words made her laugh harder. “does it? tell me, what does it help you remember?” the girl was obviously teasing, and taking a little too much enjoyment out of poking fun at him. to say that the suggestive conversation wasn’t putting ideas in her head would be a lie, though she didn’t know how to act on those ideas just yet. “i am on your side. i think. there’s a difference between testing the waters and knowingly leading someone on. you did the latter of the two options obviously. it wasn’t until i met you,” the blonde quipped. suddenly however, corrine stopped walking as if something had come over her. a great desire formed from their conversation. “hey, what do you say we skip my perfect plans and have some fun in the hotel?” her hands snaked around his waist in a flirtatious manner as she spoke. 

“i wouldn’t expect anything less. i just don’t want you to worry so much.” he squeezed her hand gently. “that’s a loaded question. but i’m guess you knew that, huh?” he smirked. “but uh, let’s just say i just remember how great it was to waking up next to you.” jt tried his best behave himself, but he knew a little teasing wouldn’t hurt. and it wasn’t like he was lying, but he definitely enjoyed the thought of it, even more the idea of it happening again, but he figured it wouldn’t happen anytime soon, yet he still hoped. that and once she’d brought it up it was hard for him to forget. “you think?,” he shook his head, grinning, “okay maybe i did, but i figured it’d be different on the date, you know see a different side, one i’d actually be attracted to. ouch, corrine, how could you?” he joked. he stopped in his tracks as soon as he’d notice she’d stopped walking, he raised his eyebrow, completely unable to hide the grin on his face, “well, uh, i’d have to say that’s a pretty good idea,” he ran a hand through her hair, leaning in close,“what are you gonna do to me, corrine?” he whispered.

[wtfjt]

liamcinthehouse:

Liam took in the beauty that surrounded him. He was in Havana and -not to mention- in front of a camera. This was a once in a lifetime chance for him; make it or break it, and he intended on making it. As he watched a complete stranger hauling his luggage to who-knows-where he let out a deep breath. Let the game begin. Liam had to charm America’s pants off, and if that meant charming a few ladies on the way, it was a no harm, no fowl situation. “Welp,” he sighed to no one in particular. “Where’s the welcoming committee?”

jt was on the way to the pool, swimsuit on and a towel on his shoulder, when the newest houseguest walked in. only stopping to greet them, “sorry, mate, can’t say there is one, just me, but then again i was just on my way out. but uh, welcome to reality tv where the only ones to greet you are cameramen, who don’t talk back.” he chuckled. reaching his hand out for the other man to shake, if he wished. “i’m jt by the way.”

[wtfjt]

smhsage:

❛ You know what I’m really craving right now?…. Fries.❜  she said, stepping up to the other, softly touching their shoulder before trailing her hand down to their arm. ❛ Do you mind getting me some? ❜  And then with a flash of her smile, she assumed the answer would be a yes. 

he raised his eyebrow in question, and then nodded, “yeah, fries would be chill,” he nodded again, bringing his drink up to his lips. he shrugged, “i mean, i could, but that’d require getting up and i’m pretty comfortable right now.” he joked, leaning back onto the lounge chair, out of her grasp, putting his legs up.

[wtfjt]

missarahlewis:

‘good to know,’ she smiled, nodding. resting her chin on her hand, she wondered what the following weeks would bring. hopefully more happy stuff than sad ones. drama was inevitable here, she just wished people won’t need to get hurt.

he nodded, smiling, “but what about you, though? wouldn’t you like to get some spice in your life? i mean you went on that date with mason right? what happened there? or like, anyone else you interested in? i can be like your wingman or something.”

[wtfjt]

fckincorrine:

“yes impress you. you know how i am about impressions, they matter to me. plus we have an audience so go big or go home right? but i could tell i did a number on you. i was saving this dress for a special occasion and figured this was special enough. though you’re probably imagining it on the floor or something,” corrine chuckled at the statement, figuring that’s exactly what he was thinking. a tingling sensation rushed over her when his lips came into contact with her skin and she smiled. this was nice. it was something she craved and never wanted to end. his touch on her skin, no matter how slight, was comforting and put her in some sort of trance.  “no way. good on her. i mean, you did kind of lead her on didn’t you? oh c’mon, you know it’s true.” her tone was joking and a light laugh left her lips. “just know that i’ve never called youa fuckboy however. i’ve only thought it a few times.”

“of course, but i’m me and i know you, and i like everything about you, you know? so i’ll always be impressed. have been since i met you.” he scratched his neck, very aware of his ears burning right then. “but uh, yeah, the dress, yeah, it, i mean, you’re right. but you can’t blame me, you knew this would happen. and uh, this dress most definitely jogs my memory a bit.” he closed his eyes for a second, very aware that may not have been the best thing to say, but he couldn’t stop himself from saying it as soon as the thought came to mind. she looked amazing and the more he looked at her the more he considered just walking her back to her room. “hey, i thought you were on my side, yeah? i mean, not on purpose. like, i just maybe wasn’t taking the date as seriously as her, like come on, all first dates are just like testing waters, you know.” he chuckled. “uh huh, i honestly shouldn’t be too surprised. i just didn’t think fuckboy was in your vocabulary, corrine.” he teased.

[wtfjt]

fckalysia:

the girl gave him a small smile while she slid her phone in her back pocket. “i guess not. sorry again, im usually better with paying attention.” her smile grew slightly and she shook her head, “no you haven’t. i literally just got here. im alysia.”

he waved her off, “don’t worry, really.” he smiled. “shame, but i’m glad to be the first one to welcome you. so, welcome. and nice to meet you alysia, i’m jackson, but most people just call me jt.”
