She falls for the players,
but she plays the same games.
&&&
Her bones hold tight like rubber bands stretched too far. She quakes in her presence, brown eyes scattering because the truth is something she's never been good with. A diamond smile stretches across her face, twinkling like the stars that shine so bright on nights like these.
He has hurt her many, many times, but that was something else entirely. That was a young, irrational love. It was a dream, a fantasy, a cruel cliche that she deluded herself into believing would work. This doesn't hurt the same; Shane's love burned her, taught her a lesson, showed her how not to trust. But, this, this, isn't even in the book. She can't take anything away from what they're doing. She knows it will leave her empty, it will hollow her out, steal away everything that she has. It will kill, it will scald, it will never heal; but that doesn't mean she wants to stop.
Lines blur as cold hands trace pretty words across her skin, she gasps and tries to remember what it feels like to be right (this is wrong, but it feels better than right ever did, so she forgets the thought and tells herself that it doesn't matter anyway.) The cabin floor creaks under her weight and she stumbles, knees shaking, and they fall into her bed. Pink sheets bunch beneath her head (they smell like Juicy Couture and she knows she'll never forget the perfume), she sighs as lips claim her throat.
Her heart thuds, fast and scared (like always), blonde hair falls into her eyes and she runs her fingers through it. Tess's lips (finally) find hers, and she tastes like smoke (she tells her that cigarettes are going to kill her) and whiskey (she tells her that Jack Daniels can't be healthy.)
She thanks God that her mother is famous, she loves this single room cabin.
I should get back, but they both know that she doesn't want to leave.
Tess chuckles, low and dark, as she brushes the hair back from her sunshine's face.
She doesn't say anything, no final words or snarky comment, she just kisses her, and that is enough.
