EMERSON REIGN

[tt]watch out, emerson, looks like someone else is reigning in your castle.[/tt]

she still can’t believe what she’d just seen. emerson had come home early to grab a few things before going out shopping, but when she’d walked out of the elevator into her penthouse, she found her older cousin, shirtless, on top of her best friend. it took her a moment to realize what was actually happening; her cousin, who had been tormenting her since moving in, and best friend were making out on her couch. she rightfully screamed, dropping her purse. “emmy!... you’re home early..” vinnie said as he had scrambled to get off of angel and grab his shirt, holding it in front of him. [b]”oh my god... oh my god!” she exclaimed, her face scrunched in her infamous disgusted expression. shaking her head quickly and grabbing her purse once again, she turned to leave. both angel and vinnie were trying to stop her, to talk to her, “emerson! emerson, wait,” she heard, but the it girl didn’t want to hear it. she rapidly pressed the door closed button on the elevator and descended to the lobby.
standing on the sidewalk, waiting for her driver, she quickly calls the only person she knows will listen and get her traumatic experience and won’t tell her to just calm down. liam black. her one arm hugs her body tightly while the other holds her phone to her ear. as soon as he picks up, she begins talking, ”i just found vinnie on top of angel and they were making out! on my couch!” she says quickly, only pausing to get into her limo. emerson pulls the end of her long, light pink coat in with her, ”liam’s, please,” she tells the driver, putting the phone back to her ear.
”i’m coming over.” she informs liam before hanging up, eyebrows still furrowed some from the sight. she needed to get it out of her head, she needed to rant and rave about the betrayal of her best friend. emerson’s not only upset that angel was with vinnie, the guy who had left without a word and was now back and stealing all her dad’s attention, but angel didn’t even tell her, she had to find out in the most traumatizing way.
when she arrives at liam’s building, she thanks her driver and marches inside, wasting no time heading up to his apartment and knocking on the door. as soon as he answers, she falls into him, shaking her head. ”i can’t get it out of my head!” emerson tells him melodramatically, ”i feel like i’m going to be sick,”

VINCENT REIGN

he doesn’t hear the elevator ding, signaling someone’s here. vinnie wasn’t listening for it, assuming his roommate and little cousin wouldn’t be home for at least a couple hours. he decided to fill this gap with his new favorite activity, sneaking around with angel castle. he really likes her, genuinely, but she didn’t know how to tell emerson yet, so they were sneaking around; vinnie of course didn’t mind, the sneakiness excited him. but, all of this came crashing down in less than a minute.
a shrill screech came from the entrance of the penthouse, making vinnie stop dead in his tracks. he whips his head around to see emerson standing there, absolute horror painted on her face. he glances at angel who’s already sitting up and he quickly stand up, retrieving his shirt from the ground, holding it on his chest. [b]”emmy!” he trails, an awkward smile coming to his lips, ”you’re home early.” he remarks, followed by a nervous laugh. while vinnie’s putting on his shirt, emerson made it to the elevator. ”emerson, wait, please,” he calls after her, trying to stop her from leaving, but the elevator doors shut and she’s gone.

[tt]be careful, hampton’s boy, you messed with the princess. remember, the upper east side is her empire or you may be banished.[/tt]

vinnie stares at the metal doors for a moment, then takes a breath. he turns to angel and offers a small smile, ”well, at least she knows now,” he notes, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his hands on the small of her back. his smile widens, ”we don’t have to worry who sees anymore.” he says, actually excited to be able to show her off. ”gonna miss sneaking around, though,” he adds with a cheeky wink.
