VIOLA BENJAMIN
"GROSS, HE HAS LIKE, real feelings for you." Viola scoffs, scrunching up her nose as Genevieve squints at the text message lit up brightly on Viola's phone. She looks up, smirking before tossing the mobile into Viola's lap and leaning back on her hands, cushioning herself amongst the mountain of blankets on the bed.
"Would you shut up, please. We're not like that." Viola mumbles, twisting her hands and chewing on her lower lip. She looks up through her lashes shyly, shrinking under Genevieve's pointed gaze.
Viola shrieks at the loud ding of her phone, groaning slightly before picking it out of her lap and weighing the device in her small hands. She feels Genevieve loom over her, her gaze piercing at the screen while Viola slowly unlocks it, revealing her messages.
when i look at you
i forget that there's
and entire world waiting
to move on. but i'm okay
with having this moment
last forever.
[2:32pm]"You guys might not be like that yet." Genevieve smiles softly up at Viola. "But he's sure as all hell falling in love with you."
