Hayley was pretty and looked good with Georgie, that was the only thought that stuck in Viv’s head as they held the shot contest. They were obviously good friends, and Hayley started to give off vibes that Viv was sure everyone in the room could read. She was probably staring too much, watching Hayley and Georgie take down shot after shot and giggling with each other once Hayley finally won. The room went silent around her as she zoomed in on the two girls, right onto that hand on Georgie’s knee. It made Viv… too jealous. She wasn’t supposed to be this jealous when she was the one with a boyfriend, but after a dangerous amount of alcohol considering the lack of food that she’d eaten beforehand, her thoughts were consumed with her roommate.
Viv shook her head and snapped herself from her inappropriate staring, turning to her boyfriend with a drunken grin and walking straight over to him to pull his face down into a sloppy kiss. She wasn’t really sober enough to keep herself steady, but Ray’s arm wrapped around her waist and she clutched onto him. Hoots and hollering came from their coworkers until they finally pulled off of one another. ”I think you’ve already had enough to drink,” Ray teases her, though he’s finally had enough to drink to be looser than his normal self.
Viv rolled her eyes, taking his drink from his hand and ignoring his protests. ”You’re not the boss of me,” she giggles back at him, also ignoring the look of concern on his face once he sees just how drunk she is. She stumbles out of the kitchen when she hears a knock on the door, and squeals as she’s greeted by her dance team joining the party with even more alcohol. ”Vivi, you couldn’t wait on us? You’re the worst team captain,” Her teammate Monica laughed as she was pulled into a drunken hug by said team captain. Viv just giggled more, dragging her team out to the living room and turned the volume up on the music they’d put on.
The dancing dissolved from their usual structured routines into their clubbing moves. Viv dancing with her team to the latest rap music that was popular distracted her from her roommate and the woman she was getting very cozy with. She didn’t want to feel this way, but the longer she stayed in New York, especially with her new roommate, the less kept her connected to Ray. He didn’t even join her on the dancefloor when some of their coworkers came out to dance with her team members. Viv decided to forget about both Ray and Georgie for the moment and lose herself in the music and the rhythm of the bodies pressed up dancing with her.
