“Savannah drew the short end of the stick on this one, hmm?” She offered the conversation as they ended up at the snack table at the same time. Being mindful to not let herself get too engaged in conversation.
“Honestly I think she swindled me. Saw something better coming down the pike and let me have this one,” he half-joked with a little shrug.

“Almost wore the sweatshirt you gave me here but was worried I might end up match a couple other girls.”
“No, don’t be ridiculous. I have a color coding system going. You get all the gray stuff. My Tuesday girl gets red, Wednesday...” he trailed off with a smirk and a shrug.

“Can’t believe you fell for the cramped leg bit,” she laughed, catching her breath as she had beat him while running. “Sad really. I thought you were smarter than that.”
“Maybe I just wanted the view from behind,” he shrugged, little smirk, shaking his head. “But I thought you were an honest, dependable girl. This whole thing is tainted now.”
mich-hayes:
“What I see for myself?” She repeated in disbelief. Michaela was angry. Angry that he was saying all the things that he was. Angry for what he was implying. Brayden didn’t deserve that. And maybe she was angry because she knew that the connection she had with Zach could never really been broken. Not when they shared the love that they did. But she didn’t like his implication that meant her relationship with Brayden held less. “You have no idea what my relationship is with him. How strong and good it is. For the first time in my life I am with someone that I share something healthy. That is what I want. I see myself happy and in love, living with my best friend. And guess what? That is what I have.”
“I don’t know what you have with him. I know nothing about that. And on the surface maybe I’m talking about it-- but in reality I’m not. I’m talking about us and how I know what we have... not had.. what we have. What we share. How you feel about me and how I feel about you. And that... no matter what you have now, how healthy and good it is... it’s not that. It could never be that,” he shrugged. In his heart he knew she believed that. And not just that the loves were different, but that one was meant to be. “Maybe you’re happy now with him. But this thing between us isn’t gone and honestly it’s not really changed-- you’ve just refused to be around me so it’s not in your face,” he shrugged.
mich-hayes:
“Tell me, Zach. What category do you think you would pull out in front of him?” She couldn’t help but get further into this. It wasn’t like this past year things ever felt great between them, but they were better than Michaela would have guessed they’d be with her being with someone else. “Loyalty? Honesty? Dependability? Keeping promises?”
Zach was surprised she was biting on any of this. It wasn’t like her, but he took it as a good sign. It felt they were the furthest apart they’d been in a long, long time. To him, this felt like her way of closing that gap. Of not just shutting these feelings down, of not keeping things surface level as they had been. “Everything else. Passion, connection, love, what you actually see for yourself,” he shrugged. “You’re not going to say any of it out loud, but we both know if he could read your mind around me your relationship wouldn’t survive it.”
mich-hayes:
Even though he was bringing out anger in her, she hated that he was bringing out anything at all. Even the negative emotions felt unfair to still feel with him. “What I have to say when it comes to comparing the difference between Brayden and you, is something that you don’t want hear, Zach. Trust me,” she warned him, her voice stern.
“Oh yeah?” There was some laughter laced into Zach’s words, leaning his head back a little. “I’m sure if you were being honest with this all he’d love hearing all of those comparisons too,” he nodded. There was complete confidence in that. In knowing, not thinking, that in her heart of hearts that it was still him in so many ways. That there were things that no other man could ever be to her, things he always would be.
mich-hayes:
Everything in his response just proved to upset her. She knew he had clearly had a good amount to drink but that didn’t matter to her. Not after some of the nights he had put her through over jealousy. “You have no right to make a comment like that. Or did you forget the bar fights you got into over me simply talking to another guy?”
“I was a stupid insecure kid,” he shrugged off, tilting his head at her. “You dating another one of those and don’t want to admit it?” It was obvious he was trying to get a rise out of her, and he himself wasn’t sure why. Maybe just to prove there was still passion there.
indie-burdette:
“All this extra weight, huh? Sorry I’m just a fat tub that you have to lug around,” she twisted his words, giving a dramatic put as he held her face. “Nothing. Just totally blew an order and now am at the risk of getting fired from one of the only successful stylists in the area. Which means I can’t ask for a recommendation which means I might as well just start looking into a new career. Do you need an assistant?”
“If you were actually sorry, you’d starve yourself for me,” he just played along with her twisting, giving her a shrug, his smile remaining on his lips. Zach’s hands dropped to wrap around her waist, pulling her into a hug after she explained. “Do you think maybe you’re jumping the gun a little? Like maybe you’re allowed one fuck up before you need a new career entirely?” He asked a bit playfully, brows rising at her.
mich-hayes:
The loud bar and surprise of the arm around had her not recognizing the voice at first. Whipping her head up, she stepped out of his arm as soon as she saw who it was. “Zach, what are you doing?”
“I was just coming over to say what’s up,” he gave her a confused look. “Is my arm on your shoulder that much of an intrusion? Jesus, your boy’s got a tight grip on you. He inspect your outfit when you leave the house too?”
@mich-hayes
“Holy fuck,” his arm wrapped around her shoulders. “You look gorgeous,” he smiled sweetly. A sober version of him would have known not to approach that way, the drunken version of himself didn’t see the problem in the least.
indie-burdette:
This was why he was the one she wanted to see. Because a minute into seeing him after feeling like shit, he was making her laugh as she burrowed into his chest. “I am never coming out of here now. Prepare to live like this.”
“I feel like my livelihood might be shot then, can’t imagine I’m as quick with the extra weight,” he gave her a squeeze before he lifted the sweatshirt back over, hands immediately cupping her jaw. “What’s wrong, beautiful?”
indie-burdette:
“What if you just hide me so I can avoid getting fired?”
“Sounds like a plan,” Zach didn’t skip a beat in lifting his sweatshirt to pull it over his head right where they stood. “Babe? Where’d you go?”

Indie: Or maybe I'll restrict you until you're nice again. I said it was close to accurate. Okay yes! Because feelings is a huge factor in what is the best! Oh, Zach. I thought you were actually a smart guy. I'm pretty open to places. I think New York might be my end game but overseas would be cool too. Oh no you will not! I have work to do. I'll agree to a limited veto. Good cause that part was non-negotiable.
Zach: You're talking about restricting me while also talking about begging me for it. So how are you gonna accomplish both? Well, it's just accurate. They're not though. Being in love definitely makes the sex better, not saying it doesn't. But that doesn't mean you can't have better sex than that with someone you don't love. I can tell with how you've been with me that you've never had sex like this before. You're addicted to it. I am a smart guy! Like Paris? Paris feels like the place to go for fashion. Oooh yes I will! You love being dirty for me. A total veto. The lawyers will enjoy that part.
✉ || INDIE ⇄ ZACH
Indie: Don't be a rude boy. That is not what I said! I said you have higher marks in certain areas but not all areas. I will be begging and once I let you feel just how badly I need it, I don't think you'll be interested in holding off. I don't know that I will here since there isn't a huge need for a lot of stylists here. I'd be setting up for failure trying to set up here. But nope. My boss is leaving in a bit. Well, I get creative control and whatever clothes I put on you, I get to take off.
Zach: Or what, huh? I said I was top two and I wasn't number two and you called that accurate. I'm the best sex you've had. You just don't wanna say it cause you're not in love with me and you think that should count for more than it actually does. Who says I'm gonna feel shit? You can't make me touch you. You have a city in mind you want to end up or just some major city, wherever opportunity lands you? Cool, so once your boss leaves I can start making you do dirty things. I want veto power, I've got no qualms with the second half.
✉ || INDIE ⇄ ZACH
Indie: When I see you I will.
Indie: Excuse me? I don't have to deal with anything. I would say that is overall accurate. You are higher in some areas if you look at it from a charting aspect. We will just have to see how true that is tonight. For the chance to be on my own? Probably 8-10 years at least. Just gonna sign without reading?
Zach: Looking forward to that.
Zach: Mmm, you can deal with it. So what you're saying is it's the best sex you've ever had. No charts necessary. You'll be sitting there begging me for it cause you need it so bad... ugh. Nah, just for the chance to be a hot shot where you're at. I'm assuming the top dogs there aren't working late on Fridays? Gimme the highlights.
✉ || INDIE ⇄ ZACH
Indie: Oh be quiet.
Indie: You can't judge a group by one person. It's prejudice! Mmm... You're up there. I don't. I think you're gonna want me too much for that. Got a long wait until I'm that. You have to sign a contract as my client to sell this to her.
Zach: Shut me up.
Zach: I can until I know the group, deal with it. Up there like top two and I'm not number two. I am very capable of holding off with you, ya cocky shit. Like how long we talking? Alright, just tell me where to sign.
✉ || INDIE ⇄ ZACH
Indie: I guess I can say the lack of sleep and soreness can be seen as benefits.
Indie: You didn't even know she was my friend earlier today! The best? Wow. That is bold! See, idk if you'd carry through with a punishment. That would be the dream but not happening. You're usually asking me to do the opposite.
Zach: Soreness doesn't count, that just turns you on when you feel it.
Zach: What's that matter? She is your friend and she's mean. What am I supposed to think about your other friends until I know for myself? Are you saying it's not true? Oh you don't, huh? Not happening until you're a baller. Your boss doesn't need to know that.
