Pretty Girl

Pairing: Cassie Howard x Reader

Summary: Cassie's closeted with a girlfriend. I think that's all I need to say.

Song: "Prom Queen" by Beach Bunny

Warnings: Angst, mentions of sex, happy ending.

A/n: Hi guys! I've had a few people ask me to write literally anything about Cassie so I wrote a very neutral fic that kind of steered away from any of her problem child actions. love yall!

It was safe to say that Cassie didn't want anyone to know that she had a girlfriend. Well, at least that's how it felt. She wasn't ashamed of me, just kind of hesitant to tell people that, after her years of dating men, she met a woman that made her whole world stop.

Me.

I was proud to be this girl for her, the one that made her realize that she felt differently than she did before. It definitely came as a surprise, meeting her at one of the parties at McKay's house a few years ago. And it was a bit unfortunate that we met while she was dating the jock.

They had a lot of issues. Issues that I would hear about quite frequently, in fact, every night. She'd call me, crying, angry, happy. Every emotion that one person could feel, McKay made her feel. I would hear about their dates, their sex life, their fights and their make ups.

Until one night, she just decided to be done. She seemed okay, but she finally texted me after two weeks of radio silence. She told me that, apparently, they had been broken up for about a month but she didn't know how to tell me one of the reasons that they actually split.

Then her feelings for me came out.

I was pretty shocked to say the least. She had known that I liked women for a long time, more than men. In fact, way more than men. I don't know, maybe I appreciated a woman more and felt safer with one. Cassie was wreckless though so I don't think that I could apply that logic to her. But she was my best friend. I had always loved her even though it seemed a bit stereotypical.

She didn't want to tell anyone. She didn't want any of her ex-boyfriends finding out, her sister, her mom. She wanted me to be her secret and she wanted me to be okay with it. And I was.

At first.

The first time it really struck me as hurtful was at a party when a guy asked her to dance. She looked back at me nervously, almost asking for permission. First of all, you should need zero permission to dance with someone. But she was dating me but god forbid she said she was taken. Second, she was so terrified to make up some lie to get out of dancing with him, afraid that she would make it seem like she was there with me.

The second time was when we almost got caught making out in her very non-private room by Lexi. I knew in my heart that Lexi Howard was no snitch. She would always tell me about how much of a good influence I was on her sister and I think she would be nothing but supportive. But Cassie was sure on the fact that Lexi would be a 'nosy whore'.

Her words.

So we went on, dating, being happy in secrecy. Until we weren't.

She was pretty adamant about making out with me. I mean, Cassie always got what she wanted so who was I to complain? Except this was at a party, a public party. So she had to pull me into a room, locking the door quickly before she placed her delicate lips on mine.

I kind of got turned off to the whole secrecy thing then.

I wanted her to want to kiss me in front of everyone and to not give one single shit.

I snapped and quite literally walked out. And walked home.

I wasn't mad at her, I understood that it was hard to come out, hard to tell people. I didn't really need to due to the fact that everyone around me knew I liked women. I was just obvious, I guess. And Cassie wasn't. It was hard for her as it was to convey normal emotions, let alone something of this capacity. This was a big thing and I understood it took time.

But it hurts. It hurts having to keep yourself away from the person you love, to pretend not to be yourself. To stay at arms length just incase someone got the wrong idea. I just wanted to love the crazy blonde. And I knew she loved me, she just had a funny way of showing it.

From Cass <3: baby, i'm sorry. can i come over so we can talk?

I stare at the text with a huff, my head falling back against my pillow as I contemplate my response. I didn't want to give in, I wanted her to know she hurt me. But that wasn't very mature of me, was it? Fuck.

Before I can reply, my phone buzzes again. Twice.

From Cass <3: I'm at your door.

Answer the door.

Giggling softly at her antics, my eyes rolling as I throw myself out of bed. Like I said, she gets what she wants whether I like it or not. I knew that I had to confront her. I didn't want to lose her, fuck no. I'd be her secret forever if it meant that I could be with her, hold her, kiss her. I would suffer through anything to be hers. Including suffering through a painful conversation like the one that's about to follow.

Making my way downstairs, I unlock the door with a sigh, prying the wood open to look at my girlfriend. She pouts softly, her curls framing her face as she clutches her phone to her chest.

"Hi baby." She whispers, tilting her head at me with a soft smile as I break. She knew just what to say to have me opening the door, didn't she? She steps into the house silently, her shoes being kicked off at the door as she waits politely. "Is your family home?" She asks curiously, her eyebrows ticking up as she points upstairs. I give her a small shake of my head, a beautiful smile spreading out across her lips as she nods. "Can we talk about what happened at the party?" She asks quietly, stepping towards me as I sigh, my eyes fluttering down to the ground. "Cuz, I'm gonna be honest, I've been freaking out and worrying that you were gonna dump me." She lets out a nervous laugh and I watch as tears quickly fill her eyes. She keeps up a polite facade, a small trembling smile on her lips as she waits.

"I'm not gonna break up with you, Cass, never." I whisper, my hands prying her hands away from her chest as she lets out an anxious breath, her whole body relaxing. "But yeah, we should probably talk, huh?" I offer gently, my fingers reaching up to brush some hair from her face as she blushes in the low light. She nods gently, her body inching towards mine.

"Can I have a kiss first, though?" She asks meekly, my hand cupping her cheeks with a silly smile, my lips pressing against hers in a soft, delicate kiss. She hums happily, a small sigh of relief passing her lips as I pull away. I take her hand in mine gently, knowing that I could never stay mad at her. But that doesn't mean we didn't have to talk.

I lead her upstairs silently, her hand shaking in mine as I pull her into my room, her body relaxing at the familiar environment. She carried so much anxiety in her body whenever she was worried. You could tell by the fake smile and squared shoulders whenever she was upset about something significant.

She sits down on my bed, pulling her favorite blanket over her lap as she watches me. "You don't gotta worry, bub, I'm not mad." I whisper, sitting down in front of her to take her hands in mine.

"I know you're upset, though. We've been dating for nine months and six days and no one knows about us." She whispers, validating an inner part of me as I send her a small, sheepish nod. The fact that she's so specific with the number of days we've been dating makes me want to cry. "I'm sorry that I made you feel like I was hiding you. I'm not trying to do it deliberately..." She trails off, my hand waving her concerns off as I'm already familiar with her fear.

"I know you're afraid Cassie. It's okay. You're allowed to be scared. You've never been asked to deal with something like this. It's heavy." I whisper, my fingers gently rubbing circles on the inside of her wrist as she huffs.

"I want to tell people though. I want to feel confident enough to kiss you in front of people, to tell my best friend. I just think that they would ask so many questions and bug you and never leave us alone." She whispers breathlessly as my attention shifts a bit.

"Wait, so you're not worried about the fact that you'd tell everyone that you like women. You're just afraid that they would never leave us alone?" I giggle quietly, her head bobbing as she rolls her eyes playfully.

"I mean, of course I'm worried about telling people I like women. I don't really have a label yet- I'm not really trying to find one. Which seems like the opposite of me, I know." She shakes her head with a laugh, her hair falling in her face as I watch her in awe. "I think that, like, someone like Lex or my mom, they've known us as best friends. Things will change if I tell them. Like my mom would be weird about us having sleepovers. I don't want things to change. I don't want people to ask questions. If I could just snap my fingers and have everyone know without the initial shock, I would just do it." She explains, a soft smile on her lips as she huffs.

"It's okay that you want to be private, Cass. If you would've told me that, we wouldn't be having this conversation." I giggle, reaching over to shove her as she rolls her eyes with a shrug.

"I just- I don't know how to make you feel appreciated while also, like, maintaining our privacy." She whispers, her fingers toying with mine as I grin naughtily, her eyebrows raising at my sudden mood change.

"Come here." I whisper, pulling her off the bed as she squeals, my hands pulling her into my bathroom. I keep the light off, taking her phone from her as I go into snapchat. "I know exactly how to do that while also driving people crazy." I giggle, watching as her eyes light up in the dark room.

"Really?" She asks, my hand reaching out to rest on her hip as I pull her to me, a small gasp escaping her lips. I turn her around so she's facing the mirror, my hands around her waist as I rest my chin on her shoulder. Holding the phone in front of my face with the flash on, the light shines out throughout the room as I chuckle quietly. Cassie quickly turns in my arms as I hold her against the counter, both of us looking at the provocative but private photo. You can't see my face, just the outline of my figure behind her. Typing out a quick caption, pretty girl, being my name for her, she grins wickedly. "You're so smart." She cheers quietly, taking the phone from me as she analyzes the picture. "And you can, like, tell it's a girl and not a guy right? Like this means people will know?" She asks, the grin not fading from her lips as I lean forward, pressing a kiss to her cheek.

"Completely, baby." I whisper, my thumb rubbing circles into her hip. She squeals quietly, her finger hovering over the send button as she takes a deep breath. This is it. Pressing send, I smile widely as I cup her cheeks, my lips pressing against hers as her phone clatters against the counter. She immediately kisses me back with another excited squeal, her body trembling happily in my grasp. She pulls away from me breathlessly as I wait for her to speak, her eyes twinkling.

"And then, as people start to like make the connection, maybe we just start telling people slowly?" She offers, my shoulders shrugging in a simple agreement, knowing that the picture was truly good enough to calm my insatiable heart. "Maybe we'd tell Rue first? Jules? They swing our way right?" My heart thumps at her phrasing, my cheeks warming. Our way. Ignoring her question, I press my lips to hers once more in a quick kiss, our laughs filling the bathroom as her phone begins to buzz rapidly.

It continued to buzz for the next two hours but let's just say Cassie was a bit preoccupied.

;)

a mood

Fez x sister reader x maddy when they meet on New Years and maddy bugs fez about yn and she can’t stop talking about yn fluff

life’s too short — Maddy Perez x fez x OCSister!

A|N: always pictured writing for a problematic bad bitch like Maddy but felt like I couldn’t do her any justice. Yet here we are! 😂 switched it up a little bit to set the scene better. Had to make my own little moodboard since tumblr is being annoying by blocking every Maddy gif there is! Also switched POV’s too since I’m so used to writing in 2nd POV. It’s a short one so I hope you like it! Also I used a farsi term in here so if I have any Farsi speaking readers please let me know if the term is incorrect!

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Maddy didn’t care how it looked.

When she did ever when it came to things that she did? Regardless of anything, Maddy Perez was going to do what she wanted and would shit on anybody that watched or had something negative to say.

Here she was dancing on some corny dude named Travis and when Kat mouthed near by, “who is that?” It only egged Maddy on more as swayed her hips, a smile plastered on her glossed lips.

She didn’t even see you come in from the back, but of course you noticed her right away. However it didn’t bother you, this was just Maddy and she did her thing. You made your way through the bodies, greeting some faces that you knew of before stopping in front of fez and Lexi.

Fez was all grins at the sight of you as he pushed off the couch to bring you into his chest with his arms tossed across your shoulders. Rocking from side to side you placed a free hand on top of fez’s head just like you previously did to ash outside by the pool before you stepped back.

“What’s the vibe?” You asked, before you briefly took a seat next to Lexi, who smiled sweetly at you.

Lexi sighed, “I dunno typical party, people attempting to live ‘differently’ just to do the same exact shit for the next 365 days. And Cassie’s disappeared.”

You frowned, “wait what? Do I need to make a call?” You questioned, eyes shifting to Fez who lifted his shoulders unsure.

“I’m sure she’s fine. She’s just not answering her phone, she pissed me off on the way here and jumped out the car like a total maniac.” Lexi rambled while you nodded your head from side to side, getting it.

That’s siblings for you but you wouldn’t leave ash or fez on the side of the road if they hopped out though. You might have ran them over and tossed them in the trunk…but you wouldn’t have left them. Hey, every sibling dynamic is different.

You didn’t judge…much but you sure did have a mind of your own.

The three of you fell into small chatter until you picked up that fez was sending signals that he wanted to chat with Lexi alone some more. You caught the hint and sat for another five minutes just to annoy him a little bit, before you told the two you’d see them later as you left to go mingle with other guests.

It wasn’t until Jules and Kat brought it to Maddy’s attention that you were back, that made the dark haired girl turn this party into a safari scene.

“Are you shitting me? Where did you see her?” Maddy eyes scanned over the multiple faces in the house.

Jules and kat sent each other knowing looks.

“I don’t know, it was awhile ago.” Kat answered, amusement on her red lips.

Jules added before taking a sip from her red cup, “you should ask fez, he should know. Although he didn’t know much about rue but…maybe he knows more about Valli—

Maddy didn’t wait for anything more to be said as she strutted over to fez and Lexi not caring what they were talking about. “Fezco!”

“Wassup?” Fez asked, not sure what this girl was on—based on her tone.

“Valli here?”

Fez dipped his head, “yeah.” Was all he said.

Maddy snapped her fingers, “okay…so where is she?”

“I don’t know bro, there’s a lot people in here. She could be anywhere.” He drawled on bringing his blunt back to his lips.

Maddy rolled her eyes, “well what is she wearing? How long ago did she stop talking to you two?”

“Damn Maddy,” Lexi laughed, “maybe she’ll show up around the same time as Cassie?”

Maddy groaned, “thank you two for being completely useless! If you see her before I do, let her know that I’m looking for her. Matter of fact never mind, l’ll just call her.”

Lexi was wide eyed at Maddy’s dramatics and shared a glance with Fez who just chuckled to himself. He knew it was only a matter of time before y’all were back in each other’s faces, he was sure he’d hear about it later…depending on how this night went.

It felt like forever with Maddy trying to track you down, in her mind she was slicing everybody out of her way to get to you and that was a whole lot of people to put down. However Maddy was unfazed as she asked multiple people if they’ve seen you, most of them didn’t until one group said they saw you not too long ago heading to the bathroom.

They didn’t say which one, which frustrated Maddy even further. It had to be a solid half hour before she found you in one of the bedrooms that faced the pool with…McKay.

“Bitch.” Maddy called out, stomping over.

There Valli sat beside McKay, shoulder to shoulder as she pulled a heart-shaped lollipop from her nude glossed lips as the pair were focused on the screen of a turquoise Nintendo switch.

Before a full smile could break out onto Valli’s lips, Maddy was on her ass, jumping over McKay who was utterly confused as she straddled the Persian girl. Maddy’s acrylics dug into Valli’s bare bronzed shoulders as she sat on top of Valli who shifted the lollipop with her tongue staring up at the girl.

“Hey.” Valli started with her raspy voice.

Maddy sucked her teeth, “bitch you come back from overseas and don’t let me know? You don’t even pick up your phone when I’ve called you after I knew you were here? You can’t say hi?”

“Well..” Valli went to push up on her elbows but Maddy shoved her back down, “You were preoccupied with Travis, Maddy mads.”

“Who?” Maddy blinked.

McKay cut in after pausing the game, “the cowardly lion lookin’ ass dude you were giving the bratz choreo to, you don’t remember Maddy?”

Maddy rolled her eyes as she gave McKay the side eye, “I don’t need your input, McKay.”

“Damn my fault,” McKay placed his hand on his chest before going back to the game, “I was just trying to help jog your memory.“

Maddy scoffed, not being a big fan of the boy as she turned her attention back to Valli who was now staring up at the ceiling. Maddy reached forward with one hand and snatched the lollipop from her mouth to fling across the room.

“Hello?! Do you not see me here?”

“It’s kinda hard not too with your claws digging into me like this.” Valli laughed, “can I sit up now and talk or are you still holding me hostage?”

Maddy rolled her neck, “I’ll think about it.”

The Persian girl shrugged her shoulders, getting comfortable against the carpet and let Maddy stare her down but she knew Maddy also had a soft spot for her too.

“Do y’all want me to leave?”

“Yes.” Maddy answered.

Just for Valli to add, “no, we’re all chilling.”

McKay shifted his eyes back and forth between the two before he messed around with the Nintendo switch some more. He then placed it beside Valli’s mini purse that rested on the edge of the bed and pushed up into a standing position.

“Yeah…I think imma head out. Grab me another drink and give y’all some space.” McKay sighed with a shake of his head as Valli sent a wave his way and Maddy didn’t even spare him a glance.

Valli raised her thick brows, “so are you done pretending to be mad at me?”

“No I’m not,” Maddy growled, “would it of been so hard to let me know the last time we talked— which was yesterday actually! that you were back from the fucking Netherlands?”

“Surprise!” Valli gave Jazz hands but of course Maddy wasn’t having that as she gathered her hands into a tight grip of her own, “wow, you missed me that much?”

“Duh,” Maddy said as if it was obvious, “I’m no longer with Nate, who definitely shitted in one of the bathrooms here. So we can spend as much time together as possible now without him in the way.”

This time Maddy watched as Valli pulled herself up as if she were doing a crunch, thanks to the fact that she was now trapping Valli’s hands in her own. She almost lost her breath at how effortlessly Valli did that, which brought a smirk to her plump lips.

“Oh, so you’re ready to be with me?” Valli brushed her nose against Maddy’s.

Maddy scoffed but Valli didn’t miss how her eyes shifted to her lips, “whatever, shut up.” She slowly intertwined your fingers, a single dimple appearing on her cheek at the image.

“Well since you’re finally done being busy with your own version of California’s modern day american psycho…when are we hanging out?”

Maddy hummed as she flicked her hair back, pretending to think about it before she moved to lock her arms around Valli’s shoulders, “I’m starting this new babysitting job, unfortunately after school but whenever I guess.”

“I’ll check in with you then so you don’t have to chase me down, huh?”

“Let’s get this straight, I don’t chase anybody. People chase me.” Maddy shifted her head at each word making the girl laugh in her face.

“Were you not the one going crazy around this party trying to find me?”

“How do you know that, Valerie?” Maddy gave the luscious long haired girl a hard stare.

Locking her hands around the back of Maddy’s waist, “I have my ways, Madeleine.”

“Ugh, you’re so Irritating!”

“I can go back to the Netherlands if you want?”

“No!” Maddy pulled Valerie into a hug which she returned with pride.

It felt like forever since Maddy felt Valli here in her arms and sure it was tricky situation. On Maddy’s part really. Maybe not but she kept that shit to herself or rather pushed it down since Nate was always in the picture. When Valli left to another country for winter break, Maddy was pissed because she became dependent on Valli. Maddy believed she has plenty soulmates in this lifetime but only two of them seemed to matter right now, what she felt or feels? for Nate was not what she felt for the girl in her arms.

She loved Nate.

With Valli, Maddy saw what the next possible years could look like. And maybe that said a lot, she hinted at it when she had long conversations with Cassie when she couldn’t reach Valli due to time differences—that really fucked Maddy up by the way but Maddy tended to put her all in when it came to love. She wasn’t sure if she loved Valli but she adored her and knew she would always hold her down, which she’s proven as she stood by while Nate treated Maddy like pure shit.

Maybe that was enough.

Maddy was sure she even asked Valli drunkenly or half asleep countless of nights before to take Nate out and Valli was oh so tempted. Turns out Maddy was just talking. However Valli would do anything for Maddy Perez. She would have committed a crime but Fez was the only one to talk some sense into her. Valli was never scared to pull off what some might call “disturbing,” —she didn’t have many limits when it came to protecting those in her life.

To hear that Maddy and Nate were done felt nice but Valli knew this wouldn’t last long. Valli witnessed how much of a fool Maddy was for Nate and she knew not too far deep down that it was a only a matter time before something brought them back together. At what cost?

Only time would tell.

“Life’s too short you know, Aziz-e delam.” (Translation: Sweetheart) Valli purred, “I know what I want and I know you want to be with me.“

Maddy pulled back and tilted her head to the side a small smile on her lips, “girl, it sounds like you’re proposing to me right now.”

“Should this be a proposal?”

Maddy shook her head, “uh uh, you can’t be serious? Not in this fucking Brady brunch ass house.”

“I’m surprised you even know of that show.” Valli didn’t bother to correct her.

“You’re the one who put me onto these old ass shows. You got me hooked onto that weird shit like the twilight zone. Which I didn’t finish by the way.” Maddy commented, “you’re like my own personal Ariana grande.”

Valli volunteered at a lot of old folks homes, which would catch those that knew her off guard…since she was kinda into gore… she was commonly the one to clean up the mess when needed. Let’s just say not much made her queasy. Other sources called her to be the disposal, sometimes she would be the one to inflict the torture. She had a attachment to old folks home thanks to her own grandmother who fell ill with Alzheimer’s in her mid-fifties, it was written in her will for a woman named Kitty (Marie) to take care of Valli once she passed since Valli no longer had any family here in the states to take care of her. And then Kitty had a brain aneurysm so that left Valli, Fez, and Ash pretty much fucked to fend for themselves.

“Would you?”

“Huh?”

“Consider marrying me, Aziz-e delam?” Valli slipped her hand through Maddy’s hair cupping her head as Maddy leaned into her touch.

Maddy smiled, that cute dimple appearing again as she stared at Valli’s lips, “I don’t know…would you be a good wife?”

“I think you already know the answer to that.”

“Ooo okay, miss. Confident.” Maddy laughed, “Maybe if you kiss me on New Years…so I know this is real and what else this commitment is made of.”

Valli shrugged, “done no problem, that’s easy work.” She reached for her purse to check the time on her Nintendo since her phone was ready to die, “we have thirty minutes.”

“Let’s dance.” Maddy climbed off Valli, pulling her dress down as she stood leaving Valli to get up on her own, who also pulled her skirt down.

Placing her bag on her wrist, Valli clasped hands with Maddy as the two girls made their way through the house back to the dance floor.

Wanna know what it's like (Like)

Every seemed to move in slow motion with one hand in the air, Maddy’s back was pressed to Valli’s front swaying, one her hand on Maddy’s waist as she followed her sways.

Baby, show me what it's like (Like)

Cassie eventually showed up with Maddy pulling her into her front but Valli could tell Cassie seemed stressed. However, Valli would dwell on that later as midnight was approaching. It was time to live in the moment and the countdown was starting, Valli was down for new beginnings she just wasn’t sure Maddy was.

The hand that rested on Maddy’s hip shifted upwards to grasp her jaw and tilt her face towards Valli’s. Valli could feel that perfect dimple against her fingertip and the music seemed to become background noise along with the countdown.

Maddy was willing as it was her idea but the sound of something breaking along with some screams prevented Valli to seal their lips with a kiss. Disappointment washed over Valli’s frame as everyone seemed to turn to Valli’s brother, beating the everlasting shit out of Nate Jacobs.

“What the fuck?” Maddy yelled, briefly looking at Valli who simply folded her arms, analyzing Fez’s approach.

Maddy gave the girl a look before she nudged for Cassie to help her, who seemed to snap out of whatever daze she was in. Valli tilted her head watching Fez beat the fuck out of Nate, blood was starting to splatter around.

Usually fez was the last one to result to violence out of Ash and Valli but when he did, Valli knew it was for good reason. It wasn’t until McKay got involved that Fez seemed to ease up some, anger was still etched onto his face as he stalked off quickly afterwards.

It was instant with Valli as she pulled her mini bag up on her shoulder, her heels clacking as she got a good lookat Nate on her way out.

“And you call him a psycho? Look at your fucking brother!” Maddy yelled.

Valli just stepped over Nate before Maddy and Cassie could bend to his aid, “somebody had to do it at some point, babe. You’re lucky it was just fez. I would’ve done way worse. I gotta go but I’ll catch you later? Happy new year though.”

Maddy just stared at the girl in disbelief as Valli seemed to let out one last laugh, head thrown back after getting another look at Nate. Her hair bounced with her as she walked off hoping to catch a ride home with her brothers.

Yeah…Valli was definitely on Maddy’s shit list and would be getting the cold shoulder from the girl when they get back to school on Monday.
