Snippet #2675089

Beck watched her wander mindlessly around the store with eyes bright, hiding how tired they actually were. Her fingertips danced along the book spines as she seemed to move ghostlike between the shelves. He wanted to paint her. He wanted to kiss her. The blonde slowly moved alongside her, pulling his arms around her waist and tugging her into him till he could lean over and look into her eyes with a grin. "You are so gorgeous. You know that? I'm so lucky..." He told her, almost though he was letting his own private thoughts leak out into reality.

"The ultimate story of revenge. I love it. Kind of heavy reading for me, I kind of stick with poetry most of the time."

The blonde couldn't help but think about Malachai when he heard the words 'The ultimate story of revenge.' A couple of sick thoughts skipped though his head about what he'd like to do to the red headed bastard but he never quite let Elisa know what he was thinking unless she could have read the twisted expression on his face. His fingers ached to damage him. "Oh yeah? Explain to me the basic plot." He requested, flicking through the pages swiftly before turning it over to examine the price.

"This guy wrote some stuff inspired by King Arthur legends and this one is my favorite."
"I mean, I read normal stuff too, but this stuff is what my dad was reading when I was little. So it's kind of what I always come back to, even if it's a little boring. I don't really know what you'd like."

"Sooooo hipster...." He teased with a grin before sighing and heading over to the counter anyway. He decided that if Elisa had recommended the first book to him he was willing to give it a try, and if he didn't like it he'd just play his DS or something. "Do you want anything gorgeous? Something nice to read on the beach?"

"Good,"

Leon's heart rate sped up as she kissed at him, not because it spurred him on more but because of the difference in pressure against his lips. It felt real. Was it real? He continued to kiss her despite her starting to pull away, always aching for more, to the point that it was so obvious that he really didn't want to let go.

"Bex what do you think of thi-?!"

"Millie!!!!!" Leon roared out, almost as though she had done something wrong even though she clearly hadn't. She had just stopped him when he never wanted it to end. He looked angry and she looked like a dear in headlights, but then he sighed, realising his short temper. Millie didn't seem too phased by it.

"You look hot as fuck, you should definitely get it. I love it against your hair and your cleavage is fucking ridiculous. In a good way. Now come in here."

The redhead tried to ignore what she had just witnessed for a second to lap up all of Bex's compliments. Millie was rarely complimented, and especially by female friends. "Really? You think?!" She said with a big wide smile like a Cheshire cat, almost school girl like behaviour. The girl tugged at the under wire of the bikini to examine how it flattered at her, causing Leon to hiss a little and try to divert his eyes, which was kind of odd considering that they had slept together countless times.

"Totally noted and will be considered."

Leon scoffed, knowing that 'will be considered' probably meant 'likely to be discarded' in Rebecca's language. He sighed as he was pushed out of the dressing room, but proceeded to wait patiently elsewhere in the shop.

"Boy's gone. Which one do you think?"

"OOOOoooooOOO so what exactly happened there then! I thought you guys weren't on good terms at the minute." Millie said with a giggle and wink, diving right into the drama rather than answering her question first. It was almost as though she lived for typical girly chatter. "Are you stopping in his bed now or what then?" She asked before turning her attention back to the bikini. "The one Leon likes obviously. You clearly want to keep his attention so..."
