I Strive To Make My Room Look Like This

salem didn't know the person throwing the party too well but the invite was extended after meeting a couple nights ago at one of the local bars. she didn't think about this person possibly knowing her ex or him being in attendance either, that was the first mistake she made that night. she'd been drinking and mingling throughout the night with strangers trying her best to take advantage of being in a new place. most of her time in valpo so far consisted of meeting new people and doing things she normally didn't get a chance to do. she started chatting with this guy about music and the two were seemingly hitting it off until a familiar voice interrupted the conversation. unsurprisingly it was leon and he was pissed. "fantastic." she said sarcastically while the other walked off leaving the two alone. "well, i was flirting with that guy and trying to have a conversation. please don't make me hire security in a completely different country."

house parties. house parties are great when you're trying to forget about the girl who keeps breaking your heart. and so leon took a shower, put on his black pants and tight tank top and left the apartment to go party at one of those houses up in the hills. it was all fine, he was a little drunk and a little high and he was honestly having a good time. but then, he saw her. he tried to avoid her, and it worked for a while. and now that he goes outside for a cigarette, leon sees salem all over some other guy he doesn't know. just flirting and laughing. this makes him so mad. "excuse me," he says as he approaches the pair. his stare is so apparently intimidating that the other guy leaves. "what are you doing?" he asks salem.

her gaze was focused on an older calico cat as sade spoke. the other's comment raised excitement in salem's plan for another fur child. "please don't tell me that...then i'll have to be inclined to take one home and explain to stevie why she suddenly has another sibling." as the cat climbed into her arms she smiled up at sade trying her best to be normal. "you're not really supposed to pick one per say. you have to let the cat come find you. it's what the cat distribution system is all about after all. stevie was a kitten on the streets of new orleans when i found her." she let out a small giggle as she stroked the cats fur completely in awe of the different color patterns on it's fur. "if i could take all these home with me i would but my apartment would look like this cafe. i'm too young and hot to be the seven cats lady yet. but one more won't hurt right?"

-ˋˏ ‏‏‎ ‎꒰ ‏‏‎ ‎🪐 ‏‏‎ ‎꒱‏‏‎ ‎ ──‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎sade  knows  you're  not  supposed  to  pick  them  up.  you're  supposed  to  let  the  cats  come  to  you.  but  they're  so  cute  !  and  fluffy  !  and  salem  wants  one  (  and  sade  thinks,  with  a  face and a voice  like  that,  salem  should  get  whatever  she  wants.  )  surely  one  little  squeeze  wouldn't  hurt.  .  .  reaching  her  hand  up  to  scratch  her  finger  against  the  chin  of  a  particularly  affectionate  tabby,  she  glances  down  towards  salem──  who  seems  to  be  pouring  the  same  affection  over  a  different  kitty.  "  aren't  they  rescues  ?  "  she  wonders aloud,  "  i  think  that's  the  whole  point  !  but  how  are  you  supposed  to  pick  which  one  you're  going  to  take  home  ?  "  captain snuggles  would,  probably,  not  appreciate  a  large  feline  friend  in  the  house.  he's territorial. it  doesn't  stop  sade  from  wistfully  hoping  she  could  also  take  one  of  them  with  her,  too.  "  wouldn't  you  feel  bad  about  leaving  all  of  the  others  here  ?  " 

she sucked on his thumb for a brief moment, teasing him. salem knew leon never cared about where they were and sleeping with her at this party almost felt like he had to point to prove. the point being he could still have her anytime he wanted and she hated to admit that he was right. the thought of being with another person hadn't crossed her mind since the two first started dating. as he tilted her head up she ran her fingers through his blonde locs while staring up at him. "you'd love for someone to walk in on us anyways." she teased as he lifted her up by her ass and slammed her against the wall. it was rougher than usual but she knew he had some pent up aggression towards her, that much to be expected. salem put her head back and closed her eyes as he kissed along her neck, gently tugging at his hair. the feeling of every kiss planted on her neck radiated throughout her body and between the alcohol and all the unsaid feelings she craved leon desperately. "please tell me you have something on you?

leon's smirk grows wider at salem's question. "when has that ever stopped us before?" he bites his lower lip as she sucks on his thumb. he presses it down her tongue as he grows bigger in his pants. this girl will be the death of him. and he doesn't mind. he doesn't mind she breaks his heart over and over again as long as he can have her like this, looking like a godsent angel who will make his sinful fantasies come true. of course, this is now. but whenever later happens, maybe he'll realize this was the worst idea ever. so, he might as well savor every single second. leon pulls his thumb away from her mouth and drags it down her chin, grabbing it and tilting her head up so she can look at the lust that's taken over his eyes. "door's locked. don't worry about it." the man picks her up and holds her by the ass, slamming her against another wall and kissing her neck. they're used to doing it rough. but this is another level. especially because there's so much turmoil beneath the surface.

salem's instagram !! @valpoinspo

tbh salem has a weird relationship with social media. she's a little more private about what she posts and is very big on using the close friends feature (she's too lazy to keep up with a private account lmao) if she weren't a musician she probably wouldn't want such a big presence online. her typical posts are random things like stevie and her friends and plants.

"i'm not working on anything special at the moment. i was just trying to de-clutter my brain instead of my usual avoidant behaviors. the biggest perk about finally leaving the house so far has been running into you though." salem replied with a smile. it was nice seeing esme in a normal social setting, typically she was feeding salem drinks los fantasmas. "not dead just....dead adjacent i guess?" she teased. "i'm okay though, i needed some time to rot and not be around people. i am sorry i've been ghost. but more importantly how are you?"

             ꒰ა  ♡  ໒꒱--— the  sight  of  salem  is  a  welcome  one;  esme  hadn't  seen  her  in  a  minute,  and  while  she  had  reached  out,  she'd  always  been  a  proponent  of  "giving  people  their  space".  she  knew  salem  would  come  back  out  into  the  land  of  the  living  when  the  time  called,  but  that  didn't  mean  she  missed  her  any  less.  her  smile  is  bright  as  she  slides  into  the  seat  across  from  her,  burgundy  nails  tapping  against  the  coffee  she  cradles  in  her  hands  (  snickerdoodle  coffee  with  cinnamon  and  two  extra  sugar  packets  today  ),  "  watcha  workin'  on  ?  long  time  no  see,  thought  you  died  or  something.  "

in a split second the two went from arguing to kissing one another. she gave in immediately, her fingers running through his hair as she kissed him back hungrily. salem wanted him badly and was almost immediately turned on by the feelings of his hand spanking her. it had been what seemed like forever since the two of them were able to touch one another and salem hadn't been with anyone else since splitting from leon about a month ago. she missed him terribly even if she wasn't willing to admit it out loud. as he pulled back she looked up at him in a daze and nodded with a smirk, his hair was messy and her lipstick was all over his mouth. "of course i'm going to let you." hooking up probably wasn't the best idea but she was so drawn to him (since the day they'd met) and it had been so hard to stay away every time. "god you're so insatiable." as she felt leon press up against her she bit down on her bottom lip, her mouth immediately opening at his demand. "are we really going to do this here? what if someone catches us?"

leon rests both hands on the wall, one on either side of her head. he listens to her words, but he doesn't want to hear them. so, the second she stops talking, the man grabs her face and kisses her. lips pressed against her own, biting and sucking and kissing her as if the world's gonna end. "you really like making me mad, don't you girl?" he smirks as one of his hands travel down to her ass and he spanks it. "what is it gonna be, huh?" he pulls away for a moment. her lipstick's all smeared and he knows he has the same color around his mouth. god he missed kissing the shit out of her. "are you gonna stop this nonsense and let me fuck you?" before salem can answer, the man presses his body against hers, letting her knows he's already turned on. he doesn't really know how it works, but seeing salem flirting with someone else really messed with him. because there's no way in hell someone else can make her feel as good as he does. "open," he demands as he pushes his thumb between her lips. "be a good girl and i might let you cum."

normally salem wasn't one to go out to the club alone ( especially her frequent spot club divine ) but since arriving back in valpo she knew she needed to let off some steam and let her hair down. after about twenty minutes of mingling with randoms and a couple shots with a group of girls she met at the bar salem practically jumped out of her skin with excitement upon realizing nevaeh was the guest dj for the night. 'finally a familiar face' she thought while moving her way through the crowd towards the other's set up. "thank god you're here!!!" salem yelled out to her before embracing her in a tight hug. it was comforting being around nevaeh because the two always managed to have fun no matter what the occasion was and it was just what salem needed right now. "i know! but i got hit with major um...drama i guess you could say when i got back that threw me through a fucking loop but that's another story for later." finishing off the rest of her drink. "how have you been? if you let me linger around the booth tonight i promise not to embarrass you. i actually came alone."

status / closed , ( @cybermuses ) location / club divine

               the   surprise   on   nevaeh's   features   was   evident.   as   a   guest dj   for   club   divine's   rooftop   party,   nevaeh   hadn't   expected   to   see   any   familiar   face   in   the   audience   because   she   hadn't   set   out   any   invites.   it   was   a   last   minute   decision,   the   previous   performer   flaking   out   and   other   bland   explanations   nevaeh   stopped   listening   after   they   told   her   how   much   she   was   getting   paid.   all   that   to   say,   she   wasn't   expecting   to   see   anyone   she   knew.   especially   salem.   she   thought   she'd   still   be   in   la.                nevaeh   was   never   one   to   drink   while   performing   so   it   didn't   take   long   for   salem's   features   to   register.   nearly   ripping   her   headphones   off   her   head,   her   squeal   echoed   through   her   headphones   as   she   hopped   from   behind   her   set   up   onto   the   dancefloor   and   racing   at   full   speed   towards   her.   "   no   fucking   shit,   salem   !   "   nevaeh   exclaimed,   delighted   to   see   her   as   she   wrapped   her   in   a   tight   embrace.   "   you   don't   know   how   to   call,   nobody   or   what   ?   "

if you could pick any one of your friends to set you up on a blu date, who would you choose and why?

"probably milani because she's so particular about things that i know she won't set me up with any losers. but she's also so particular in the sense that she would refuse to let anyone near me so i probably wouldn't be on a date at all."
