Thwaites & Thompson

Curiousity

*I present to you, Maia Mitchell as Nala Thwaites.⬆️*

Thwaites

Brandon returns with the conditioner in hand and stops before me, silently asking for my permission to deliver it to Nala himself.
As much as I disliked that to happen, I truly couldn't get myself up or even speak...
So I nodded at him.

I hear him knock on the door and then moments later the door gets open and I turn to watch as Nala snatches the bottle before she frowns at Brandon.

She was still in her swimsuit but she had my white basic over it. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun and she wore a highly displeased expression.

"Wait-" She approaches me.

"You sent Brandon to get it?" She points at me with a serious gaze and gets my attention, Cole's , and Tess's too.

"Yeah?" I squint at her.

She opens her mouth to fume again but then her eyes fall on Tess.

She frowns before she points at her.

"And she is..." She begins to say and I shut my eyes hoping to god she says something nice. Anything that's just not rude.

"Her name is Tess." I speak on her behalf.
Nala quirks an eyebrow my way and then she turns to Cole with a smirk.

"Who's friend is she?" She asks with a challenging smile and my nerves almost tick.

See Nala mastered in referring to present people in the third person and I despised nothing as much.

"Why don't you go do something about the tangles in your hair?" I retort and her jaw ticks.

"Whatever..." She quirks another eyebrow Tess's way.

"Thanks Brandon." She leans in and places a kiss on Brandon's cheek before she throws me a glance and walks away.

"And take off my shirt Nala!"
"I warned you about wearing my stuff!" I stop her tracks.

"Alright! Maybe I'll ask Brandon for his shirts..." She says that and I don't notice it until I'm up and I'm storming her way.

Brandon tries to stop me but I shove past him and throw him a look full of warning.

"Don't fuck with me Nala..." I hiss closely and she doesn't blink until I take a step away and turn to walk back to my seat.

"Chill-she was only teasing you..." At first I thought Brandon was speaking but it just happened to be Cole.

He was staring at me with a frown on his face.

I manage to ignore him but there was one person I could not ignore...
And that was Tess.

The look in her eyes was full of terror, and maybe slight despise if I weren't just projecting.

But enough is enough...
Everything starts as a joke.

After some time, Brandon leaves his room changed and leaves the place.

"Tess, you want to eat something?"
"You haven't eaten all day." I get to my feet wanting to busy myself with anything that would save me from my thoughts.

"It's okay..." She utters and I sigh a bit impatiently.

"No its not, you really haven't eaten anything all day." I speak calmly.

"Then I'll have anything-anything is good..." She gulps.

I turn to leave her and head to the kitchen to make her some food.
