" stunnin' face ? you lot really are dangerous with compliments over here. look, maybe i came for the moral support and maybe i stayed for the fights — and maybe, maybe, the view from my seat just so happens to be decent. hockey’s chaotic, violent, and dramatic. i’m a theatre girl, raph. i was bound to fall for it eventually. besides, it’s not like you’re exactly forgettable on the ice. consider me an intrigued convert. "
" and you're not ? just tagging along for moral support or did someone catch your eye along the way ? all the way from the uk and supporting me weekly , think hockey's growing on your sweetheart -- who can really complaining at such a stunnin' face ? "
okay . . . catch me actually working on my proper muses page tonight and hopefully posting and replying to some open starters ! ! !
céleste took him in, gaze flicking over him once — slow and measured. he looked exactly as expected: self-assured, relaxed in that infuriatingly effortless way, standing there like he had nothing but time. but beneath all that charm, she caught something else — a flicker of something in his posture, like a tension he was pretending wasn’t there. her lips twitched, the faintest amusement ghosting across them. “an interior designer? please. you don’t strike me as the type to let anyone else make decisions for you.” she let her gaze drift, taking in the penthouse with a passing glance. it was as sleek and impressive as expected. something told her he hadn’t been the one to choose the finishes, the furniture, the perfectly staged decor. money made things easy. taste was another matter. “besides,” she added, letting her gaze flick back to him, “if i were, you’d owe me a lot more than just a session.” unhurried, she moved further inside, the soft click of her steps swallowed by the sheer openness of the space. the view was spectacular — the city unfurling beneath them like something out of a dream. but she had no plans of giving him the satisfaction of saying so. instead, she turned back to him, arching a brow at his offer. “evian, smartwater, voss — what, do you collect overpriced hydration?” her tone was light. "any of your finest water will do," she mused, finally meeting his gaze again. "you know," she exhaled lightly, tilting her head just slightly, "you don’t have to try and impress me." there was no condescension in her tone, no outright challenge. she could feel it — the slight acceleration of her heartbeat, the way her body registered the shift before her mind could catch up. but she kept her expression carefully neutral, refusing to let it show, refusing to let her thoughts spiral. it was just them. no noise, no distractions, no audience. she inhaled slowly, steadying herself, reminding herself exactly who she was. control was second nature to her. she wouldn’t let this — whatever this was — change that.
the subtle chime of the elevator sent a slow ripple of awareness through him, breathing turning into a sport instead of something that came naturally. he didn't move, his gaze fastened to the doors that soon opened, watching as celeste stepped inside like she belonged there. poised and bearing an air of confidence that wasn’t forced. she was even more stunning today than the other night, framed by the floor-to-ceiling windows behind her, the concrete landscape stretching out like he owned it. but right now, she was the one commanding attention. a self-assured smirk curved on his lips as alec crossed the threshold to meet her with deliberate, unhurried strides that said he wasn’t rushing for anyone. “funny, i don’t remember hiring an interior designer,” he joked, one head cocked to the side as he purposely let his gaze glide over her. “but judging by the way you’re standing there like you own the place, maybe i should’ve.” adrenaline pumped through his veins at the mere sight of celeste, hands clammy as he wondered where they would go from here. "you want something to drink? i've got it all. evian, smartwater, voss. kombucha, green juice, coffee. pick your poison."
" oh, i’m here because i had the unfortunate luck of crossing paths with you. and trust me , the only thing i’m wasting is the 30 seconds i spent listening to you talk. but sure, if you want to keep pretending like you’re some irresistible force, be my guest. as for enjoying this ? sweetie, i don’t enjoy much, but you ? you’re definitely a spectacle. "
" i hear a lot of that mouth running , but still not answering my question . . . why are you here to begin with ? though , aren't you wasting your energy by speaking to me in general ? dunno , riles , if i didn't know better i'd say you enjoy it . "
