And whos fault is that Addie?

Dan

[CerealKiller]

Love seeing my favourite thread active again it makes me happy inside🥲

[benitz786]

@Littlefeets

Ah, post reactions. Its been too long

sooo long

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

He had barely touched the food she’d set out, but she’d managed to coax a few bites out of him.

A small amount is better than nothing at least

Sooo hard to get him to eat

EAT MORE KAI

pls

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Enough to keep him grounded, though the act of eating itself seemed almost foreign to him, his mind elsewhere, darker.

he’s just not all there anymore

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

This was not the man she remembered,

No Jess, he’s not the kai you remember…

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

she still saw glimpses of the old Kai beneath it all

Right now kai just doesn’t even know how to try and pretend to be the old kai…

Sigh

and that’s the ONLY reason jess is giving him a pass okay

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

convincing him to take another sleeping pill. Look… she knew it wasn’t an end all be all. It wasn’t the an easy fix - but it was one that Kai clearly needed.

Again, at this point, anything is better than nothing

He needs sleep, food, and timeeee

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Scarlet. Could she…? The details fit too well: Scarlet’s age, Kai’s sudden appearance, the secrecy surrounding the child’s identity, the fact that the mother of this kid was nowhere to be found. And Kai’s quiet grief as he spoke of Scarlet’s mother—it was all starting to fall into place.

All the pieces fit together too well to be a coincidence

See jess just needed more time with what was availible online

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Part of her didn’t want to wake him… but the other part knew he needed to eat anyways

Eating may still be a challenge, but at least he was getting more sleep…

She’ll let him go back to sleep after food and interrogation duh

[benitz786]

@Littlefeets

Jez, plus Jess and Val I’m sure, would be perfectly willing to say it to dan’s face

YEAH WELL

stop bullying dan

it’s mean

[benitz786]

@Caticorn

Dom would too tbh

Me however

I value my life

dom should value his life and his kids life a lil more

dan cares about jez, val, and jess

he wouldn’t retaliate

BUT DOM?

he has a world of hurt coming

[benitz786]

Mr. I went on a date with dan’s wife in highschool

[benitz786]

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

“Uh-huh… tell that to our messed up kitchen,” JJ replied

He has zero faith in her after what happened to the kitchen.
And I can’t say I blame him.

Oh he has none

did you SEE what she did to his kitchen?

how tf do you get chocolate on the ceiling?

if leo has any sense of reality, he shouldn’t let his future girlfriend in the kitchen either

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

This was honestly… fun? Being able to be drunk enough to flirt with another man and not think about… a certain… blonde man.

Sigh
When really she should only be thinking about said certain blonde man that she doesn’t want to think about

THAT’S ALL SHE’S BEEN DOING

24/7

Can’t she have 2 hours to herself?

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

A night to get as many fcking hickies as Leo had

All those hickies that were really her fault.
It would’ve all been different if she wasn’t trying to avoid him. If she gave in and started dating him, at least then if he had any then they would’ve been from her

OKAY

she did it for him

now you’re blaming HER?

How does she know he wasn’t getting those hickies no matter what?

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

that was grounding and strangely comforting.

Even without knowing who it was, there was a part of her that knew.

Deep down she knew

It was too familiar

if it was someone else, she’s be unsettled

But also on Leo’s POV WHY IS HE GOING AND DANCING WITH A GIRL HE DOESN’T KNOW

@Littlefeets

It’s only punishment because you make it that way.
Be in love with Leo, let Leo be in love with you. That’s all the universe needs.

Universe is tired of waiting and annoyed she’s changing shit

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

ooking up at the sky at whatever god, devil, demon was likely watching her and laughing.

YEAH SHE’S LOOKING AT YOU BROOKE

stop laughing

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

“Let’s be friends,” she said, the words surprising even herself. “Just… friends. Because clearly, we can’t avoid each other. The fcking bloody universe won’t allow it, so let’s just be friends.”

Why be friends Addie? Why not accept fate and be more than friends

Rude for him to deny her a friendship

she’s a better friend than harry

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

She needed him to agree to this and put a brick wall between them.

And he won’t ever put up that brick wall between them

HEY there’s that one world where he’s engaged and he does

like a good boy

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

“Addieeeee! Where the hell are youuuu? ADELAIDE PARKER!”

Justin
This is awful timing

Great timing for addie

It’s not jj’s fault

he wanted to go home

it’s been 3 hours

he’s tired

it’s already 12:30 am

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

shaking her head as she muttered, “So… friends, yeah?”

I mean kinda epic of her with him having lipstick all over his body and then saying that

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Leo’s eyes were a mixture of confusion and disbelief as he opened his mouth to reply,

The friends comment was surely a shock at that point

I mean

JUST LOOK AT THE POOR BASTARD

100% people will be able to tell they made out

a lot

[benitz786]

@Littlefeets

The only mess up is leaving Leo

HEY she’s coming back

[benitz786]

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

and of every dream about him that had left her feeling more hollow than anything else. She’d tried to shake it, tried to laugh it off, but no amount of half-hearted distractions did the trick.

And whos fault is that Addie?

LEAVE her alone

you’re mean

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

not to her husband who had yet to know her in this world… not to the love of her life.

Which should be reason to go to him and make him fall in love

no one understands her

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

So she did the one thing that kept her head quiet. She grabbed a bottle. And then another one after that… and another one after that.

Addie…

SHE likes to be drunk because when she’s drunk she’s not sad

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

the exact reason why she needed to see Leo was hazy at best. All she knew was the fact that she missed him.

That’s all that’s necessary

No no she came with a purpose. Give that man a check for the car and leave

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

She knocked once, then again, her voice slurring as she called, “Ooopeeeen the bloody door, damn it!” Leaning her forehead against the cool surface, she waited, trying to listen for any sign of life inside.

Nothing.

Groaning, she started knocking again, louder this time. “Pleasseeeeeee darlinggggg, open uppppp!”

That’s certain;y a lot of yelling for almost 4am

Good thing he has the entire floor to himself

I just know leo was sooooo confused waking up to this

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Addie barely gave him time to react before she was on him—her lips on his, arms wrapping around his neck, legs pulling him close. It was so damn familiar, like slipping back into the one place she’d been aching for. She pressed herself closer, her kisses hungry, her body instinctively remembering every line of him. And he—he was steady beneath her, his hands gripping her shoulders as he tried to balance them both, a flicker of recognition in his touch.

He can’t say it didn’t feel right, but it was certainly quite the surprise

Doubt that’s what he was expecting when he opened the door

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Of course, he has a conscience

She should know him well enough to know that answer

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

She knew her way around, after all. Every inch of his place was seared into her mind.

Yet to him, there’s no reason she should know about any of it

She knows every single detail

and he’ll see her confidence when she grabs the bottle
when she goes to his room
when she knows where his shirts are

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

the realization that this Leo didn’t look at her the same way… didn’t know her like he used to.

This Leo doesn’t have years of history with her yet
She won’t even give him the chance to know her

She doesn’t want to start over

she wants her leo

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

“I know everything I need to know.”

Meanwhile she’s let him know basically nothing

WELL

SHE KNOWS EVERYTHIGN

she’s not lying

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

It was like a cold slap to the face. A harsh reminder that he wasn’t her Leo—the one who couldn’t go a day without holding her.

Give him a week or two, actually being around him and you’ll have that back Addie.

what if she wants it now?

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

He rubbed a hand over his face, looking like he was both amused and exhausted with her. “Not when you only want to because you’re drunk.”

Even if he wants to, he has to draw a line somewhere…

Sigh

Or
OR we can play with the line

or erase it

or play jump rope with it right?

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

For a moment, he looked at her with something like defeat, his resistance draining as he sighed and pulled on a pair of joggers, finally giving in and lying beside her, keeping as much distance as possible.

She rolled her eyes at his attempt to keep a buffer

He has to at least try and keep some distance, she’s drunk so he shouldn’t let her make a choice she’d regret later

yeah well those joggers got looser pretty quick later

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

feeling even more stupid and small and a little too fragile to say anything else.

She was sad gorl moment there

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

Now dressed—if you could call it that

Could she have grabbed her clothes?

Probably

Did she still grab his clothes over that

Yes

@Littlefeets

Fine. A little awkward to leave it without a word, but fine.

Awkward? for who?

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

“Dealing with my shit + Fooling around - $10,000.”

Then there comes the problem….

Why can’t she pay for a good time?

If he had sex with her the price would have been higher than 10 k

but he didn’t

so

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

She almost laughed. There was no way he’d take it well

She knows it, yet still thinks its a good idea…

But she knows it’s a bad idea - which is why she’s doing it

he’ll avoid her after this

duh

@Littlefeets

@benitz786

and scrawling a quick “Thanks for the night, Addie”,

Just making it even worse…
Writing a thank you note and paying him for that… certainly a quick way to making him feel used

EXACTLY why he wont contact her

[benitz786]

@CerealKiller

@Littlefeets

And whos fault is that Addie?
