History:
Publicly, she's well known for being a part of the Kardashian clan, but she was raised by her father more than her mother, really. She was born to Kris Jenner and Pierce Collins, a couple who were never really a real couple. Kris stepped out on Bruce a couple of times after the birth of their daughter Kendall, and that was how Alexandra was created. For the first year of her life, Kris tried to play it off as if she was Bruce's child, but everyone within the family knew that she wasn't. Pierce was left in the dark until Alexa was two, and he was informed that she was her child. At that point, the family wasn't very famous. Kris' ex-husband Robert was a prominent lawyer in Hollywood and was still reeling from his OJ victory, but fame only really hit the family when Lex was nine, and her sister's sex tape was leaked, followed by the beginning of their reality television show. Before this time, she spent five days a week with her mother (which usually actually meant Bruce or a nanny), and two days a week with Pierce and Owen. Once the show began, her mother's focus completely, and without an attempt to hide it, switched over to her three older sisters.

Pierce was adamant that he didn't want Lex involved in the show, and she and Kendall barely were for a while, but he still didn't like it. Kris wasn't focusing on them at that point, so she didn't mind that Pierce began to take Alexandra for six days out of the week, and only allowed her to stay with her mother when it was necessary for filming. She grew up close to her sisters, mostly Khloe and Kendall, and was surprisingly close with Bruce, but most of her life that she can remember was spent being raised by Pierce. Her families were always so separate, and so different, that a lot of the time, her mom's side feels like her fake family, or "TV family", while Pierce and Owen are her actual family. Whether she wants to admit it or not, they're the ones who have always had her best intentions at heart. Her father has always refused to be involved in the press, the show, or any public interviews, which is why it's easy for Kris to get away with saying that she basically raises her alone. So, while the outside world saw her as one of the Kardashians, it's not really true. That doesn't mean that sometimes she doesn't want to be, though.

Her mother is so much more relaxed than her father, and yeah, it's possible that she exploits some of their personal information for ratings, as a rebellious teenager, being able to go to clubs, drink underage and use drugs without getting in trouble was enticing. Living under her mother's roof seemed much easier than living under her father's, so once she hit her teenage years, she began to request to stay at her mom's house more. Her father knew it wasn't a good idea, so unbeknownst to the public, he fought Kris for primary custody of Kylie when she was thirteen, and won. One of the conditions of the agreement was that the decision not be made public and she continue to appear on the show regularly. It was done in her best interest, but it made her resent her brother and father, and stepmother too (despite knowing that the woman had nothing to do with it).

All of her earnings from when she was on the show from before she turned eighteen were put in a trust that she doesn't have access to until she turns twenty-one, which is the only reason why she's still living at her father's now that she's eighteen. She graduated high school a couple of months back but has no plans to continue her education or get a job. For now, she's just living life and wishing her dad and stepbrother would stop policing her for doing so.

Secret(s):
She's been sleeping with CJ sporadically over the past few months, and she thinks she's in love with him.

Positive Traits:
Independent, extroverted, gregarious, adventurous

Character Flaws:
Rebellious, selfish, irresponsible, moody, insecure

Personality:
To those who know her, it's clear that Alexandra is an extrovert rather than an introvert. She's sociable, gregarious, adventurous and confident. She savors selfies, photo shoots and and events where she can show off her appearance, and doesn't mind taking risks with her outfits and style. Her friends know her as a fun-loving and exciting girl who can't resist singing every song that comes on during car rides, and sneaking out at night to go to a party or just get In-N-Out. While she appreciates some of the finer things in life, she's simple at heart and something as simple as going to the beach with close friends can make her happy.

Her independence is something that has caused much controversy over the past few years. It's a positive trait in many aspects, since she isn't easily influenced by other people and has a strong willed personality. She doesn't mind setting new trends and standing out and is rarely a "follower" of a group. However, it can be argued that Alexandra wants to be independent more than she actually is, and that more than being independent, she's rebellious. If she doesn't want to do something, she's not going to do it, but if she's told to do something but someone of authority, she's going to do the complete opposite of what they say. It's passive aggressive, counterproductive and immature, but she's addicted to the attention and getting it in a negative fashion is the only way she really knows. She can't support herself financially and has no plans on going off to college or starting a career. Although she isn't going to be the girl who can be talked by a group of her peers into doing something, there are certain people in her life who have a big influence on her (ex. her mother and sisters) and her actions become less of her own when she's around them.

Her level of maturity depends on who you ask. When you look at the way she acts in public, you would imagine her to be a twenty-five-year-old. She's been crashing the club scene since she was sixteen, is an experienced alcohol user and even experiments with cocaine and ecstasy when it's given to her. If she's in the mood, she can have in-depth conversations with people and is well-spoken enough during interviews and such to come across as mature. The way she dresses has been a hot topic for people with nothing better to do, and overall, people tend to think that she acts too old for her age. She is only eighteen, though, which means she can be naive, reckless and immature. A lot of the "mature" things she does are done to spite her father or garner attention, both of which are more childish than they are mature. The media has painted a picture of her being the next Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton - the child who grew up too fast, with everything given to them, and will eventually take a painful spiral downward. They might not be wrong.

Dislikes:
Paparazzi | Cigarettes | Snakes | Blood | Tabloids | Cats | School | School uniforms | Jelly | McDonalds | LA traffic | Frozen yogurt | Seagulls | Being told what to do | Going to the dentist | Taco Bell | Kids | Bugs | Orange juice

Fears:
Going to the dentist: She's the type who needs to get sedated for something as simple as a routine cleaning
Cats: It's definitely more of a fear than just a simple dislike. She's probably not going to come over if she knows you have a cat.
Falling: She isn't necessarily scared of heights since she can fly without a problem, but she doesn't do well on ladders, cliffs, etc. where she has a chance of falling far.
The media: She's constantly a target for the tabloids and even though she tries not to ever comment on any of the bizarre rumors, it scares her that they are able to spread lies to so many people.

Aspirations:
Her father insists that she go to college but Alexandra has no desire to go to school ever again. She doesn't know what she wants to do with her life really, but imagines that it will end up having to do with fashion or makeup.

July Fourth was a big party holiday every year. The fact that it fell on a Friday this year, and that the California weather was as perfect as one could have asked for it to be, only pointed towards the idea that people were going to go bigger and harder than usual that night. Owen knew that his friend group was going to be no exception to that. This afternoon was the day when everyone was officially moving into his house. It wasn't as big of a deal as his father and stepmother made it to be before they left yesterday, considering that the Rockefellers, Slim-Helรบs, and Newmans all had houses or condos within an hour or two driving distance, if not less. It wasn't like they couldn't run off there, or with all of their money, to another state or country if the mood called for it, but they had all agreed to spend most nights in the Collins' abode. It was supposed to be a way for all of them to bond and reconnect, and Owen honestly liked the idea. How long had it been since he was able to hang out with Yesenia and CJ without it feeling rushed? He felt like he hadn't seen Colette in decades too. It was just going to be nice to have everyone he cared about under one roof. Owen wasn't some dreamer who was blindly optimistic and thought that everything was going to be perfectly. He was more of the opposite than that, actually, but he still had hope that all of his friends would want to have as much of a good and fun time as he, that things could actually go well.

It was three o'clock now, which meant that everyone should have been arriving, had they not already. The actual party that was being hosted at their house was scheduled for five o'clock, so they had time to all get settled in before the party guests showed up. With Owen's lack of enthusiasm when it came to partying planning, was going to be a lot more casual than it would have been had Ariana had control over it. Or Yesenia. Or Colette, for that matter. Tons of kegs of beer, a seemingly unlimited supply of hard liquor, a DJ, beer pong tables, a big fire pit, the pool (if anyone got frisky enough to go skinny dipping), fireworks that would go off at the end of the night, and a hell of a lot of barbecue food seemed like a good time for him. He didn't think they needed fancy finger foods, performers or any of the frill to have a good time, but he was sure that if he was wrong, he would never hear the end of it.

Ariana's family's house in Beverly Hills was being completely renovated while her parents spent the summer in New York and Paris, so she had left most of her things at their family's Venice Beach beach house. She claimed that it was an easier commute than her own place that she owned in Newport Beach, but she had promised that she was going to bring everything she needed to his house today so she wouldn't have to make a commute at all over the summer (or expect him to too, for that matter). She had left hours ago to do that, though, and since he hadn't heard from her since, it left him feeling uneasy. The fact that Colette, Chris and Yesenia had been pretty absent contact wise didn't make it any better either, so as he headed out of his bedroom and down to the kitchen, he sent a text message out to the group, one to Ariana, and then one to his sisters separately.

To: Nia, CJ, Colette, Leo, Rob
So... hoping you people show up sooner than later? Where is everyone?

With the size of the Collins' house, it was completely possible that some of them were lurking around the property without him knowing, but it felt safer to just check in with them directly.

To: Ariana
Hey, you on your way back?

To: Mari, Alexandra
You both ready for the party later? Come down to the kitchen if you have a second so we can make sure we're all on the same page. Idk where everyone else is

Colette made an entirely displeased face as her brother peered down at her, inquiring if she needed Ariana to teach her manners. Sure, right after she teaches you about chastity. Heard of it? And the thought was at the tip of her tongue, but Colette only rolled her eyes, turning away as Yesenia pulled out Colette's salad to hand it to her before the Latina perched herself rather comfortably on one of the stools. Yesenia peered down at her phone, just for a moment, to see Chris' response via text messaging and giggled outright, a bright and coquettish smile on her face. "For the record, there's like a gazillion different foods being prepared in every kitchen in the house. Not to mention the fact that I need seven meals a day and you know this for a fact, Chris. I can't be held responsible for you not taking the initiative to provide yourself sustenance." Colette didn't even move to question the expression on her bestie's face (because that did not look, in any way, innocent), sitting in the stool next to her bestie just in time to hear Ariana admonishing Chris. Which meant she was next. Well, she could hope not.

And hope, she could not have.

"New York's fine," Colette replied, voice a slight octave higher without her meaning it to be. It was a sign of the strain their interactions - the accusations - invoked within her. She sipped at her own tea before continuing. "And I've already spoken to mother about this. I needed space and New York was the perfect opportunity to get it." She wanted to include, To get away from all of you. More you, but you get the picture. And she knew Ariana did get it, in some way. In whatever twisted way she thought things through. Colette put on a much more convincing smile though, more relaxed, as she idly played with her salad using one of the spare forks. "Of course, that doesn't mean I haven't kept up with you...all of you, really. How is everything?"

Yesenia didn't bother to allow herself to be dragged into whatever thing the sisters were sharing at the moment, didn't feel the need to. Not yet anyway. Besides, she had a certain Rockefeller sending her a very...compromising text message. Which she started, that much Nia could admit. However...was she even being...fair? Was it smart to be influencing this, especially now? Especially when Yesenia knew exactly who Christopher had been recently dealing with? It was enough to make her not respond and she dipped her fork into her own salad before smirking again, turning to offer Chris the forkful. "Come on, you big baby. I can share." It was only a second later that she recalled that there wasn't just four people in the room. Well, Yesenia didn't forget that her other best friend was in the room. She had just been...distracted by the other one. Totally not her fault, here.

"And there better be good music today, Owen. I swear if you hired that guy from last time..." Yesenia had to shudder at the memory, fork still poised to feed Chris if he took up her offer.

To: Owen
Date. Omw

To: Lex
Surprised u haven't killed Owen yet. Omw 2 ur place

Once those texts were sent, Leo slid his phone into his pocket, securing the device in its position with a click of a button. The last thing he needed is for Yesenia to go in on him - again - for dropping his phone while on his bike. Well, it was less about actually dropping the phone and more about the five cars that would have already rolled their heavy asses on it and virtually destroyed it, but who was really keeping track. Afterwards, he kicked his Vyrus 987 C3 4V into gear, revved it up, and headed in the direction of the Collins' estate. Luckily for him, his things were already situated at the luxurious home.

Despite what some (his sister) would say, Emilio Slim-Helรบ was not asexual and no, he didn't lie to Owen. He did just come from a date - with Maggie Lindemann. The two had begun their little affair some time last year, when she was in the middle of breaking up with the asshole-who-shall-not-be-named. She was a fun internet celebrity and singer, and Leo couldn't deny that she was pretty. Stupid pretty. Amazingly pretty with a really nice smile. Goofy without meaning to be and honestly should be a model and - not Alexa, he mind supplied, causing Leo to coincidentally speed up and leave the thought on the open road.

It didn't take long to reach the Collins' expansive estate and Leo purposefully sped up the long driveway, the imagery along the sides of the neat road swishing past him in a blur before he pressed for the breaks, his bike rumbling loudly, as if announcing their arrival. Emilio wasn't claiming that he was getting over Alexa; he was naive, but he wasn't foolish enough to believe he would get over...whatever this thing he felt for his best friend just because he willed it so. At the same time, it wasn't like he couldn't at least...try to get over it - expidite the process in some way. And no, there was no part of him that thought, hoped that maybe...just maybe...Lex might see the two of them and well...maybe get a little jealous?

Yep, no part of him at all.

Alexa had no interest in spending her day at home dealing with Owen and the crazy mood he was sure he was in with everything that was happening today. She felt like her brother put Bridezillas to shame with how uptight and nasty he could get over every and anything. It probably wasn't the most accurate comparison but that was how Lex felt. No matter what the dilemma was or what he was reacting to, she would blame him for overreacting. Rather than deal with him being him, on top of Marisol and Ariana and Colette and Yesenia; all people who she knew would blindly follow Owen's lead on any and everything, Alexa spent most of the early part of the day out. She took a yoga class with Kendall in West Hollywood before getting lunch and getting their nails done. She was so tempted to just stay out all day and sleep at her mom's that night, but she knew she couldn't abandon Leo with all of those buzzkills. Even though he didn't have it as bad as she had with her older sibling, he wasn't living easy with Yesenia either, and if he had to spend his last summer before college with her still on his back, he was going to have a miserable time. She couldn't let that happen to her best friend. He was going to live it up this summer, whether he thought he wanted to or not. She wasn't going to give him a choice.

She got home before Christopher and Ariana got to the house, and she knew that because she had specifically asked the security team if Chris was there yet. Disappointed that he wasn't, she knew it worked to her benefit because it gave her time to get ready. She still wasn't sure about what she wanted to wear later to the party, so for now she only showered, blow dried and straightened her hair and put on a casual Moschino tracksuit. With California summers, it was definitely too hard to wear something like that outside midday but she had no plans of leaving the house. She had just finished getting ready when Owen texted her and after reading the message he sent to her and Mari, it was promptly deleted. The last person she was going to willingly socialize with was her brother, and Mari could be just as bad when she was by Owen's side, but she was craving one of the Strawberry Lemonade GoodPops that were located in the kitchen's freezer...

To: Leo
Prob will have to momentarily... find me in the kitchen... possibly with his corpse

After texting Emilio, her cravings led her to the kitchen, and she was too far in before she could spin away at the sight of... everyone. Or mostly everyone. Ariana, Owen, Colette, Yesenia and Chris. Before Mari became family, those five were the original "big kids". She, Rob and Emilio were the younger siblings and would socialize with each other at events while the older five were all friends. Okay, friends probably wasn't the right word to use when including Ariana in that mix, but that wasn't the point. The point was that Alexa felt like they all had alliances with Owen that were stronger than with her, and to her, that automatically meant they couldn't be friends. Besides Christopher, who Alexandra was convinced she could be more than friends with. Just seeing him standing there gave her butterflies but with Owen sitting there, she couldn't do anything. Lex was brazen, arguably stupid sometimes, bold and provocative, but she knew better than to dig her own grave on what felt like the first official day of this summer. Seeing him (even if it was seeing him lunging towards Yesenia's forkful of food which made her want to slap the girl) made her smile. After getting her ice pop, she spun around and moved past the island and towards the table her brother sat at. "You wanted to chat?" she asked casually, surprisingly almost cheerfully as she stood beside him so that she could watch Chris. And Yesenia too.

Chris knew that Nia was right, and that there was definitely someone in the house preparing food. With a house that had multiple kitchens, and especially hours before a big party, it only made sense that there were personal chefs working for the family. Chris had spent a lot of time at the Collins' growing up, so it was something he knew anyway, but he could still make a big deal out of not just having the food handed to him without asking. Hell, he could still make a big deal out of having food literally handed to him, but not enough of it. He pushed Collete's food down enough so that he could pull himself up to sit on the edge of the island without crushing it, and accepted the bite full of Nia's food. "Wow, thanks for that. One bite of salad and suddenly I'm full," he responded, with sarcastic appreciation. He had seen her looking at her phone moments before but his phone hadn't vibrated since, so it seemed like it needed to be a little bit more direct. "No longer craving food, but strangely, I definitely am craving a shower," he continued, with a brazen smirk. He would have continued with an "Anyone else?" while grilling Nia with his eyes, but Alexandra walked in then, and he decided to hold his tongue. Not because he would have particularly minded showering with her either at the moment, but because Owen was sitting right there and Chris was trying to not make this summer more difficult for everyone. He didn't feel badly enough to have stopped engaging with Lex in the months following her 18th birthday, but he had enough respect to not do it in front of Owen's face.

The only plus to throwing Lex into this mix was that the way that she and Owen could go at it made his bickering sisters look like they were best friends. He had tossed Colette to the wolf and then backed out of it while making his comments to Nia, but when she asked how everything was with them, presumably just trying to act like she cared, he jumped back in. It seemed like a safer conversation to be involved in at the moment than Lex and Owen's, even if as of now, there was nothing hostile about it. Hopefully, Mari would show up just when needed and bring the balance to that pair of siblings that she sometimes could do. "Everything's been perfect with us, Coll. Even better that you're here now, though, since Ari isn't as good as competition as you are for the title of Alcoholic of the Family," he said.

It was a typical Colette excuse, a perfect example of how her sister always let her emotions get the best of her. She couldn't take the pressure in California, so the second she had the chance, she ran off to New York to blow their parents money on an additional apartment and oceans worth of alcoholic drinks. Ariana refused to even humor the idea that Colette was doing things on her own, that maybe her career in fashion was actually something that could be taken seriously and was going to support her for the rest of her life. On one hand, Ariana told herself that she just needed to be thankful that the heavens had bestowed all of the classic Rockefeller traits in her, since they clearly were not as generous when it came to her other three siblings, but at the same time, she liked competition. And Colette running away to New York and doing something that Ari had no interest in beating her at was boring. She couldn't demean Colette and her career, outside of the whole "is this really what you're doing with your life?" question, if she didn't know the side of the fashion world that extended just being an avid shopper. Ariana Rockefeller was not lazy, but she also didn't have the time to do what her competitive edge wanted her to do, and just dive into the world of fashion just to show Colette up. It was an unrealistic goal that would take years of her time and focus off of her own career. "Mom and Dad won't be here for ever, Collie, and I just think it's really selfish for you to forget your own family in some unrealistic quest to find yourself in New York," she wanted to say to her, but she bit her tongue. It wasn't too offensive of a comment, definitely not when compared to things Ari had said to Colette, but she would play that card at another time, preferably when Christopher wasn't there to make everything she said into some joke.

She found herself playing with Owen's hair again as she tried to ignore Yesenia flirted with her brother. Maybe it wasn't even flirting since Chris and Yesenia had always been good friends, but when Ari wanted to be petty, she could make anyone out to be a slut. It just so happened that this time, she was right and they were flirting back and forth, with the food feeding and then Chris' outlandish comment about showering. The only reason why you should be craving a shower is because you probably just got herpes from eating from her fork, she thought, but it wasn't something she could vocalize when her own brother was the one who slept around more than all of them combined. As Alexandra walked in and made a pitstop at the fridge, she smiled at Colette, but unlike her sister, didn't do her best at pretending that it was relaxed or genuine. She refused to acknowledge Chris' obnoxious comment. "Everything is good. I've - we've -" she paused, glancing back at Owen for a second, "never been happier. I'm even happier now knowing that my baby sister is happy too though," she finished. Oh, how easy it was to slide back into this relationship with her sister. And the worst part was, that Ariana never got tired of acting this way. After speaking, she gave a quick glance back towards Owen and Alexandra. She really did do her best to be the good cop to counteract Owen's bad cop when it came to dealing with Alexandra, but she hoped that this summer, the girl would have enough sense not to push her brother. She wouldn't admit it, but Alexa was one person who Ari hadn't mastered the art of putting down yet. The girl was innately rebellious and it was like no matter what was said, she would push back with more attitude.

Owen was the kind of boyfriend who would have another house built on their property if that was what it took to make Ari happy with the level of privacy, and still continue to get the night time action that he never knew existed on such a good level until he started dating Ari. So, when she whispered about the lack of privacy when Chris came in, all he did was chuckle a little bit. They would find privacy, without a doubt. Owen was excited to be able to socialize with all of his friends all summer, but that wasn't going to get in the way of his relationship with Ari, that was for sure. Although Ari had turned him on a lot, he was glad when she slid off of his lap when the girls came in and Colette made a comment that was followed by Yesenia teasing Chris. The dynamics between Chris and Nia were still on point, and Owen couldn't resist laughing quietly at Nia's comment, inaccurately calling Chris out for something so wrong. However, he felt weird that this was the first way that he was running into Colette since she left for New York. He wanted to get up, say hello, say something more personal than a hello... even a "how have you been?" would have sufficed, but it just felt weird and unnatural seeing her again in person after what felt like forever. Especially with Ariana there, her hands toying with his hands in a way that would have made it awkward for him to actually get up anyway.

After her comment about them seeming cozy, Colette didn't pay him any more mind anyway, so Owen guessed that he was just overthinking things. She seemed more excited to see that salad than him, so he just relaxed back in his chair, listening to the Rockefellers go back and forth, and watching Chris and Yesenia flirt. Neither one had actually told Owen of the feelings they had for each other, but as someone who ahd hung out with the two of them for years, Owen knew. Maybe better than the two of them even knew. He had detected the chemistry between them years ago, and Chris' chemistry with Nia was different than the chemistry that he had with Nia, which just left them as really good friends. It was sexual, and Owen couldn't blame Chris because for a period of time, he had shared those urges too, but he also knew that if Chris only had sexual feelings for Nia, they would have came and gone. This was something that had more potential, at least compared to the never ending string of one night stands that made up Chris' sexual history. "Come on, he wasn't that bad!" Owen protested when she brought up the last DJ he had hired for a party. He was... but he didn't want to admit it. This time, he had made sure to get the name of the guy that Yesenia used for her parties just so that he wouldn't hear any complaints. "But Leo sent me your guy's info, so you'll be happy to know that's who is going to be providing the music tonight."

Alexandra's entrance was subtle, but still gave him an excuse to stop focusing on trying to avoid looking at Colette. He watched his sister as she made her way from the doorway to the fridge, and then to his side, before offering him an innocent "you wanted to chat?". Today, he couldn't say that he had any issues with her, but that was only because he was trying to clean his slate with her every night, and start fresh the next morning. Otherwise, he would still have twenty thousand complaints from the day before to take up with her, and he didn't have the time, energy or desire to be that stressed out today. "I just wanted to make sure you were home and that you know people are going to start showing up here at five. And that you're not drinking tonight." He didn't want to spur a screaming match in the kitchen around everyone else, but at least now, he had witnessed to attest to the fact that he had tried to stop her when she ended up dead from alcohol poisoning in twelve hours. Seeing Alexandra reminded him of Leo, who he hoped and prayed would be able to keep his sister under control tonight so he didn't have to turn into that overprotective and controlling older brother. "Wow, you better watch your back," he teased, looking up from his phone after reading Leo's text and looking towards Nia. "Leo's late to hang out with us because he's on a date. Looks like he's got a new lady in his life who's more important than his own big sister."

Yesenia was caught in the middle of pointing an indignant - because that DJ was fucking horrible and a total waste of money - look at Owen and meeting Chris' gaze, which burned her from behind the veil of her long hair. The result was still, a look Owen's way, but her lowering her gaze back to her salad, sucking her plump lower lip under her teeth and biting it. I bet you are, she thought in his direction when he expressed a sudden "craving" for a shower. Shower, my ass. She thought and bumped Chris lightly with her shoulder, giving him a pointedly playful look just as Alexandra entered the kitchen. Colette, who would have normally made a comment about the two of them by now, firstly punched Chris lightly on the arm for his comment about being an alcoholic with a petulant "Jerk!" on her lips. Eventually, she nodded slowly at Ariana's response.

"Well, I'm glad. That you're happy," she replied, a bit more honestly than she would have believed earlier in the week. Her opinion might change, when more of their group didn't decide that the kitchen was the absolute perfect place to convene. But she was glad that her sister was happy. Was she glad about who she was happy with? It was at that moment that she was able to flick her gaze over to Owen, who coincidentally noted his sister's arrival, before returning her gaze back to her best friend. "I'll be even happier when this party starts...what are you wearing?" The question was posed to Yesenia, who chewed thoughtfully on a small mouthful of salad.

Yesenia was momentarily distracted, her gaze discreetly fixed on Alexandra when the youngest person in the room - and she really felt like there needed to be sign stating that for dumbasses like Chris who liked robbing the fucking cradle - entered, her gaze washing over Chris like some lovesick puppy. And honestly, since she reminded herself that Lex would technically always be a child before her, that meant that Yesenia shouldn't have felt so...bitchy. She shouldn't want to out both Chris and Alexa just to revel in one best friend getting the shit knocked out of him and Lex getting some "Beyond Scared Straight" monologue. Then again, she would be the first to tell you that she wasn't perfect. She did, however, decide to send out a text before speaking up again.

To: Chris
The nite & fun have only just begun. B patient ;D

"Don't know yet. Though...we should probably hit the showers before we figure that out. Definitely craving a thorough," she may have lowered her voice for a moment, but she really also shouldn't have sent a look Chris' way just because she knew Alexa was watching, "cleaning after that workout." Colette rolled her eyes. She definitely noticed that - whatever that had been. "Uh huh, sure. I'm just making sure you don't pull out that American flag bikini. I cannot be seen with you in that." Yesenia faked an offended look. "What's wrong with being patriotic?" She inquired and Colette replied dryly, "It's tacky. Now, eat your food." Yesenia only nudged her as she, playfully petulant, obeyed.

Colette was sure that if they finished eating soon, she and Yesenia could take their drinks upstairs and begin to get ready. They had an entire two months for Nia to spend flirting her way into not getting into bed with Chris. Surely, her best friend could be an actual best friend and comfort her. Or, at least, make her that one fruity drink that only Yesenia could make that tasted like pure heaven with a powerful punch alcohol that didn't even hit Colette until her third one. Totally worth the near-death experience, at this point. Owen spoke up again, which had Yesenia's eyes widening. "Ummmm, excuse you, no. I'm the best thing in that kid's life."

While most rich people went along trusting that the staff they paid for could take care of their vehicles, there were a few things Leo was actually just a bit crazy about. His bike, being one of them. It was one of the most expensive motorcycles in the world with a Ducati-engine - he would be damned. It was the one non-nerd, Yesenia's words, thing that Yesenia was actually proud of him being such a dude about. The first time he let her ride it without him had consisted of him practically threatening her with death. For some odd, twisted reason, that alone was enough to warrant him two shots of Patron. Go figure!

Once he saw that his bike was being ridden in the direction of the very spacious garage, Emilio ran a hand through his lightly tousled raven hair, sighed, and headed inside. His phone vibrated in his back pocket and he pulled it out to see Lex, and he wasn't surprised by her location. Knowing his own sister, she would probably be in that exact location, which made Emilio hasten his footsteps. Regardless of how chill Nia could be when she wanted to be, it was no secret that Lex didn't like her and the feeling was mutual. Which really, honestly, should not have been that much of a surprise...considering...her recent entanglements. Lex had a thing for Chris and Yesenia...Yesenia was complicated, but even he knew that there wasn't just friendship between those two. Already, Leo could feel a headache arising.

Soon enough, he could hear his sister's indignant claim that she was the "best thing in his life," which had Leo chuckling to himself as he stepped into the crowded kitchen while saying, "Okay, one, it's not that deep." It was his way of announcing his presence and noticing that there were other people, which made him falter for just a second, Leo smiled and waved to everyone else. But his gaze immediately found his sister, lips wrapped around a straw. "And two, really, Nia? The best thing?" He pressed and she cheesed at him, arms stretched out for the hug he reluctantly returned. "Of course, Hijo. The very best." It only made him roll his eyes, but Leo couldn't help but smile affectionately and nodded smilingly at Colette's own beaming welcome.

He wasn't surprised that Colette didn't respond with claws when Ariana responded to her question by being a typical Ariana, and yet still punched him. That was how they had to be with Ari a lot. Let her win, pretend you're over it and accept it, and hope that she lets whatever the conversation was about, go. There was never any use in trying to argue or compete with her, because she would always win. Chris thought he had found a secret weapon by being able to get under her skin by making her nagging into a joke, but if he was being serious, he would have grown to respond to Ari in similar ways as Colette. Hell, if he had spent his entire life having every single action he made compared to her, he would have been on a plane to New York the day he turned eighteen.

Even though Yesenia was clearly playing with him, trying to get him wrapped around her finger to where she was in control, with that comment and then the text, he couldn't resist smirking. She was good, he would give her credit for that, but she wasn't good enough to beat the master at his own game. He tried to figure out a smug response to the text as Leo walked in, and sent it after the boy had pulled away from his sister.

To: Yesenia
Do better, Nia ;) you make it too obvious that you want me but you're scared to admit it. shower or else you're clearly in love with me

"I'm seriously craving a grilled cheese right now. Who wants the honor of making one for me?" He then asked, pretending all was normal as he hopped off of the counter and made his way to the Collins' fridge. He very well could have asked Owen to ask one of the members to the house staff to do it, but for one, he didn't want to be the one taking anyone away from party preparations and two, what would be the fun in that? Not when he had Ariana who would act like a mom in every way besides ones like these, where she could actually be helpful, Nia, who was actually a good cook, and Alexandra, who he had somehow convinced into make him a grilled cheese one night after a night of pretty one-sided sex. Yeah, that night had definitely left him feeling a little cocky, even if he knew that he wasn't some super magical sex God, and she was just really desperate and in too deep with him. Chris knew the way he treated Alexandra was wrong, but she also didn't seem to have a problem with it. He felt like he had made it clear time and time again that she was just a fuck buddy to him, and she continued to answer his clearly drunk texts when he asked her to spend the night or drive him home so he could get some in the back seat of her car... so was it really his fault? Maybe not towards her, but towards Owen, yeah, he knew he was. And it was probably more wrong to test it right there and see if she would offer to make him a sandwich... but Chris found it hard to care about other people's feelings sometimes. Especially when it was something like this, where he was being playful and not taking things seriously.

      Marisol was awake in her room, on her balcony as she was meditating to get ready for their guest arriving. Plus, to put up with Owen and Lex's arguing she would need have her body and mind completely at peace. Call her a hippy if you'd pleased but she wouldn't care. Ever since changing her outlook on life when she was nineteen she had hadn't any serious enemies and arguments with people. She was always able to cool down the situation before it escalated too far. She didn't even hear her phone as she took a deep breath in and out taking a big whiff of the outside air. She stretched her hands above her head before releasing them, letting them fall to her side. After about thirty-five minutes give or take into her meditation period. The young woman opened her eyes. She moved her sunglasses to her head so she could rub her eye to adjust to the sunlight. She got up and again stretched before making her way into her room to get ready for the day. She still had boxes in her room from her moving some things back from when she was in India for the past four months filming the last film in the 'Leona Rivera' series. Which killed her. She couldn't believe it was over and she balling when they filmed that last scene. Everyone was and she knew it would only be worst at the premiere in a couple of months when she would have to do a speech. But, that was months down the road so for the moment. Marisol brought her mind back to the present and the thought of getting ready.

      The 'Amazon' had already showered and where he room was located she got just enough shade where she didn't have to worry about sweating from being outside. But, she did need to change her outfit. At the time being she was in a pair of compression shorts and a tank top and she couldn't go like that downstairs not with probably everyone down there. Sure, if it was just Owen and Lex, and maybe Yesi then that was a different story but in front of everyone else she was pretty much known to always being put together even while having on one of her many flowing dresses.

      When she had on her black dress and a pair of black wedges to match. She fixed her hair into her peasant braid and didn't even worry about putting on any make up at the moment. It was a lot of wait and she honestly didn't feel like wasting another thirty minutes on makeup when she could be downstairs with her friends. Mari just now looked at her phone as she silently cursed at the time it was sent. She always was on of the worst at looking at her personal phone. Which is why most people used her 'professional phone' to get a hold of her quickly. She read it but didn't bother replying but she did reply to Yesenia's text about Owen planning the party. She chuckled as she sent the text.

      To : Yesi
      Oh, I'm sorry for just getting home from India after filming a movie for the past four months. It kind of slipped my mind to not let him plan. lol. It'll be fine. He couldn't fuck it up that badly.

      She closed her phone and held it in her hand as she started to head down the stairs of the very large house to head to the kitchen. Along the way she could hear voices belonging to their friends. She couldn't say for sure who was taking and when but she did know the voices didn't just belong to Alexa and Owen. She rushed into the kitchen to see everyone and smiled. "No one's gonna make you a damn sandwich, make it yourself, Christopher." She was already starting shit. She had to. She had been away from this crazy bunch for months. She had to make up for lost time. She smirked before leaning against the turned off oven. "I'm kidding... But, feel free to make me one too. Thanks, buddy."[/b] She winked with a chuckle before turning her attention to everyone else who she hadn't seen in a while other than her siblings. "So, long time no see people. What's goin' on? I thought I heard somethin' about little Leo going a date. Since when was this a thing?"
      The Hispanic teased before chuckling.

"Mhmm, I do listen when you talk, you know, Owen," Alexandra responded as her brother told her the same things that he had said every day for the past month. The party was starting at five. She needed to behave. No alcohol. No drugs. No leaving the property to go to another party that was more fun when his failed. She had heard and comprehended his words every time he had said it, but that didn't mean that she was going to follow through and listen to his instructions. Especially the no alcohol one. Did he honestly believe that she was going to spend Fourth of July sober? Like, really? She didn't even think Yesenia gave Leo problems about drinking, and with good reason. At eighteen, they were clearly old enough to make their own decisions and it wasn't like she didn't indulge legally when she went to Europe or Mexico or any other place where the legal drinking age wasn't twenty-one. Her brother was just a boring, stick in the mud, stickler for the rules, and she was over it. With CJ present, she just didn't have it in her to be in a bad mood though. Her voice was actually sort of sing-songy and even Owen's ugly face couldn't wipe the smile off of her face.

Surprisingly, the smile did falter slightly when Owen brought up Leo and a date. He hadn't told Alexandra that he was going on any date, or at least she didn't recall him doing so, and that seemed weird. He was her best friend. What kind of best friend didn't tell their best friend things like that? And aside from that, what stupid bitch was he out seeing? It made her jealous almost the instant that Owen said something about it. It wasn't jealous in a way where she was vying for his heart, per se, but she was territorial. She didn't necessarily want Leo in that way, since it wasn't something she had ever even considered, but she also didn't want another girl taking him. If he had a girlfriend, she would be pushed to his second best female friend and that was not something that she was going to allow to happen. Especially not this summer, when he was going to be the only person that was going to make things bearable for her. Before she could even consider whether she wanted to inquire further on the matter or text Leo herself, Yesenia was talking, and then Leo appeared, speaking for himself on the matter. It was beyond petty, but the fact that his sister got a hug and she didn't made her actually roll her eyes, as if she actually had a right to be offended over that. Really, she knew that she was just taking her currently very, very strong dislike for Yesenia, over the comment she made a moment before, out on Leo. That little comment about needing a thorough cleaning... the way that she had undeniably purposely looked at Chris while saying it, and the seductiveness of her voice while doing so made Lex feel her chest tighten. Of course, as soon as her eyes roved back over Christopher's form, she was smiling again, and she allowed herself to focus on that for just a moment. When he hopped down from the counter and requested a sandwich be made for him, Alexandra jumped at the opportunity. She passed by Mari, who came in trying to shut the idea down, without a hello, and met him at the fridge.

"I'll make you one!" she offered eagerly, eagerly to a point where if she was feeling like she needed to step up her game with that comment from Nia, she would have been embarrassed by it. Alexandra wasn't a great cook, but she knew how to make the basics. AKA cereal, salad and grilled cheese sandwiches. The only reason why she had insisted on cooking him a grilled cheese that night a few weeks back was because it was the only thing she knew how to cook, since cereal and salad was just throwing ingredients together. And even still, putting bread and cheese in a pan on the stove wasn't the most impressive thing in the world. "Do you want it the same way I made for you the other night?" she questioned, much quieter than, but purposely being said as they passed the island that Yesenia sat at. Obviously, Marisol's request for someone to make her one to went ignored and as Lex laid the ingredients out next to the oven, she hoped the girl got the message to move. Lex never even cooked for herself, so it said something that she was cooking for CJ, and Marisol definitely was not as high up as Chris was on her list of favorite people.

She had reestablished her relationship with Colette, made a clear claim for Owen, and had analyzed Yesenia enough to know that she still wasn't much of a threat. Ariana was done in the kitchen and with less than two hours until the party, knew that she needed to start getting ready. Getting dressed wouldn't take that long but she was sure Owen would want her to be ready by four or four-thirty to make sure that everything was in order and welcome those overly-eager guests that showed up a few minutes early. With Alexandra here now too, luckily in more of a perky mood than a sassy one, Ari figured it was time to get going anyway. Keeping the pair from fighting would be impossible, but if Lex was in a good mood and Leo was here to keep her grounded, removing Owen from the mix would only increase the likelihood that maybe they could get through the night without Ariana having to listen to her boyfriend rant about his sister. Plus, if they stood in the kitchen any longer, she was sure some conversation would arise where Owen would have to converse with her sister directly, and Ariana didn't want to give Colette the pleasure of thinking that Owen even cared about her in a friend-way yet. "Why don't we head up and get ready? If we go now, I'm sure we'll have a little bit of extra time to... relax," she smiled, taking his hand and toying with his fingers for a moment as she gave him her best flirtatious smile.

Owen was the human version of the heart eyes emoji when Ariana was flirting with him, or kissing him, or touching him, or just by his side in general. It went back to the whole thing about him never thinking he had a chance with her, and finally winning the girl that every guy in high school wanted. Even a year into their relationship, he still felt immensely lucky when he looked at her, and god, was that even more true when he looked at her when she was hinting at sex. Compared to Chris, Owen was no sex fiend, but what guy wouldn't want a girl like Ariana Rockefeller in bed with him? It was just a no brainer and he immediately stood up with a swift nod. "Sounds like a plan," he agreed with a smirk as he intertwined his fingers with hers. He had been so enthralled in admiring Ari that he had gone deaf to a lot of the conversation going on between the rest of the kitchen occupants. Marisol and Leo had made their entrances within that time, and both had received a genuine smile from him, but with Ari's offer on the table, hellos and sincere conversations would have to wait until later. He didn't even notice the way that Alexa was looking at Chris or consider how unusual it was for his sister, who refused to things for herself, let alone help other people, was offering to cook him lunch. Since he barely noticed, he didn't consider the sentiments behind the action, and in turn, didn't become enraged and inclined to punch Chris in the face for disrespecting his sister. Ignorance was bliss, and in the case of what was secretly going on between Chris and his sister, that was more than true.

"Ariana and I are going to go get ready," he announced when they were making their way out. Then, he looked towards Marisol and clearly in a hurry, said, "If any of the staff have questions about party stuff, just made up an answer, you don't need to come find me. Oh, and make sure she doesn't burn down the house," before giving Ariana's hand a gentle squeeze and following her up to his bedroom.

With her brother present, Yesenia definitely was not looking back in the direction of Ariana and Owen. As much as she loved her best friend, he was being Victoria Beckham's posh twin's little bitch for not really saying much other than few interjections, and she mentally filed it away as something to bring up when she snatched him away from Ariana later. Right now, she had another interest. First thing's first: Yesenia's countenance brightened at the arrival of Marisol, the only other female in the room second to Colette that she was actually pleased to be around. Especially with the way Alexandra hopped to basically suck Chris off. And so blatantly in front of her brother? Guess she can't help that her thirst game is strong, Yesenia thought as she exclaimed, "Hey, my Latina Amazon! So gracious of you to visit us peasants." It was a cheeky greeting and she knew it, and Colette smirked lightly taking a few more bites of her salad. A beat later, however, and Yesenia was digging into Leo. "So, who is she?" An immediate flush rushed to her brother's cheeks, making her grin even more-so teasing despite the fact that her phone vibrated on the flat surface her food currently sat upon.

Before Emilio could see it, Yesenia scooped it up with an expectant stare at her brother. "Out with it, Slim. I will stalk your Instagram feed," Colette threatened, mindfully trying not to stare back in her sister's direction when Owen and her announced that they were leaving. Nope, her gaze was fixedly solely on Emilio. Didn't even feel an inkling of her chest tightening at the way Owen grasped Ariana's hand. Absolutely not, no ma'am. "Guys...it's not...it wasn't that deep. It was just a date." Yesenia and Colette both narrowed their eyes at the same time - and no, Yesenia's didn't narrow because she caught the whisper that Alexa tossed Chris' way as if she wasn't even there - and smirked conspiratorially at each other. "He's still blushing." Yesenia piped in, "Totally." And Emilio groaned dramatically while lamenting, "I can't win with either of you."

"Nope." "Nope." They answered at the same damn time, causing Emilio to throw his hands up in the air and turn to Alexa, even going so far as to round the kitchen island so that he was standing closer to the youngest of the Collins clan, who had only reacted minimally to the announcement of his aforementioned afternoon plans. It wasn't like he had expected some grand reaction, but still. Couldn't he have anticipated...a bit something more. And not her making swoon-y - because that was totally a word - eyes at Christopher. "Lex, you seen Rob yet? Thought he'd be here by now." It took him only a second before he was pulling his own phone to see about the youngest Rockefeller.

To: Rob
Dude, where r u?

With her brother not over her shoulder, Yesenia peered down at her phone to see Chris' text, fighting back every impulse to gawk because...really? Did he not know who she was? It was enough to have her sending him an almost scathing look before taking two bites of her salad, purposefully making him wait for a response. Yesenia didn't like feeling out of control, off her game. Nope, that didn't work for her. After she was done chewing was when Yesenia finally typed out her response, and she finished the rest of her salad in a jiffy.

To: Chris
Got u all desperate already, bae? Cute ;D Btw, don't kno how u run thingz w/ jailbait, but i ain't as easy. U want this? Work 4 it?

"Well, I'm heading up too. This dress is sticking to me and some people have work," she did not hesitate to stare blatantly in Chris' direction, levelling Alexa with a gaze for a hot second before turning away, "to do. You two hit me up when you want to start getting ready." She directed the last part of her sentence to Marisol and Colette, with the latter giving her a raised brow that Yesenia shook her head to in answer. They could talk about it later. At the moment, she was throwing her container away and taking her phone and drink upstairs. For a shower. Very much alone. Colette's inquisitve stare only turned to Chris for a second before her gaze flitted over to Marisol. "So, tell me about the shoot. Wasn't it your last day filming for Leona or something?" Colette asked, actually interested and not ready just yet to go upstairs. She didn't want to accidentally run into the white Annelise Keating and her Calvin Klein drone.

It wasn't even his ego talking when he genuinely wasn't surprised by Alexandra eagerly offering to make him a sandwich, even after Marisol had playfully shot down the idea. He was caught off guard for a second when he spun around to address Marisol, only to find Alexandra right there, reaching past him to retrieve contents from the fridge. With Owen right there, despite being distracted by Ariana, Chris made sure not to stare. Lex was definitely hot but as Yesenia had put it, she was just a kid. No amount of makeup or lip injections or times seeing her naked would change that. And Chris was what Mari would so kindly call a slut, but when he was sober, he was able to realize things like that better. It was even just evident in the way she would interact with Owen, or how immature she was about somethings. What was probably rebellious seeming in her eighteen-year-old mind just reminded him that she was a kid, and the only thing that would probably ever change that view in his mind, was enough tequila. Unless he was completely plastered, he would always see her as Owen's little sister and while he could live with that since all he wanted from her was sex, it reminded him that he didn't need to invest there. He didn't need to invest his time or energy into a girl that he would never have a future with. It was wrong, but it made it all the more easier for him to not feel bad about letting her make him a sandwich. He waited until his sister and Owen left the room, trying not to think about the only reason why Owen wold have that look on his face with his sister's hand wrapped around his, before responding to Lex. "I don't care how you make it, but extra cheese would be cool." It probably wasn't the response she was looking for, since he sensed too, that her reference to one of their nights together was probably supposed to get a rise out of someone, but he wasn't playing into that. If anyone got to play with Nia's head today, it was going to be him... and he would continue to reject the possibility that maybe she would be able to do the same to him.

He was waiting for her to answer his text after he smirked at the look she gave him, that had to be in relation to the message, but it didn't come automatically. He busied himself with responding to some other friends' texts about that night's party, but he definitely was waiting for that message, and when it came, he was haughty enough to chuckle aloud before sending his own back.

To: Yesenia
I guess we're gonna play the waiting game then ;). By the end of this night, one of us is gonna be begging, and I can promise you it's not gonna be me

He had missed most of the conversation between his sister and the Slim siblings, but decided that it wasn't too late to add his own thoughts on the matter in, and no, it wasn't because he needed to distract himself from the comment that Nia left them with. "Just remember the motto, man: hit it and quit it." His sister was talking to Marisol, but he didn't hesitate to add in, "Be like Colette. Live and die by the motto. Better to be single than to be weighed down by someone else, right, sis?" When he realized what the girls had been talking about, he decided to add his two cents in there too, because when was his opinion not wanted? Plus, Lex was moving at a snail's pace with that sandwich."Yeah, how was India? Find yourself a nice Indian dude? I knew white guys weren't your thing when you got over me so easily."

Marisol held her hands up as she moved out of the way of the oven so Lex could all too eagerly start making the sandwich. This should be interesting seeing that this girl didn't do most things for herself. Hell, Mari was surprised she dressed herself in the morning or got herself out of bed. As she moved she wasn't able to catch just what the younger girl said which was probably for the best. She turned to Owen as he spoke to her as he started heading out with Ariana. She chuckled as she shook her head. "Don't worry I got everything handled. Just go and have fun you two." She assured before turned her attention back to the group in the kitchen with her. When Yesi greeted her she couldn't help but wink with a smirk on her face. It took her years to be okay with the nickname 'Amazon' but, hey she had to realized she towered over most girls especially in this city and in her field of work. "Of course! I gotta come and visit the commoners every once and while."

It wasn't long until the three turned their attention back to Leo. Marisol looked towards the group as they tried to interrogate him to try and getting any information they could about the girl. When he said it was 'just a date' Marisol couldn't help but just scoff. "You know the last time I said it was 'just a date' I ended up engaged." She wasn't trying to say he was going to marry the girl but, she did like getting under his skin. But obviously not as much as his sister and Colette liked to.

"Just remember the motto, man: hit it and quit it." Marisol rolled her eyes and shook her head. "That is terrible advice." She interjected before Chris started talking again. After a few seconds Yesi turned to her phone and Marisol looked at her and then Chris. She knew there was something there. Mari may have been a little bit of a space cadet but she wasn't blind. Her smirk grew even wider when Yesi excused herself to get changed but not before making a comment that she felt was towards Chris, or Lex, or both. She didn't know who exactly! But, she did know it was one or both of them. "to do. You two hit me up when you want to start getting ready." Marisol nodded with a genuine smile before waving. "Okay, no problem."She waved her off before taking a seat near the counter. When the two Rockefeller siblings asked about how her trip was she smiled. "I still can't believe its over like that was my first series and now it's over." She was actually really upset about it. She loved pslaying the overly sarcastic, bad ass, overly intelligent, and amazingly gorgeous (if she could say so herself) young detective/spy/adventurer. Plus, Leona was the only lesbian character who was the main or title character that she's gotten the chance to play. That is before she played Miss. America Chavez, of course.

But, her somewhat sad smile left and Marisol couldn't help but laugh and roll her eyes once more. When Chris just had to bring up their little 'past'. "Aw, Chris. Are there still hurt feelings there? I thought we talked about this." She faked a pout and put her hand over her heart before turning to Colette and put her hand on her arm. "There's no Indian boy. But Jesus Christ, let me tell you! They're are a god sent especially with their dark tanned six packs. Just--.." Marisol just took a deep breath as she fanned herself. "But, it was just a beautiful place. From the colors, to the people, to the culture, it was just nuts at how amazing everything was. I really wish we could have filmed there longer though. But! I was able to take some of Leona's stuff off of the set plus, I got another tattoo to add to the 'wall'." Marisol moved her dress near her neck out of the way a bit where she could show off her newest tattoo that she had on her back. She mostly called it the 'wall'. She had sleeves, she had ones on her legs, but she needed a name for the tons of tattoos on her back so she decided it was like a wall with graffiti. Hence the name, 'The Wall'. Her newest tattoo was a gorgeous black and white mandala. It was in the middle of her tattoos on her back, covering a few old ones of hearts and birds. Ones she had gotten years ago, during her 'stupid age'. Which funny enough was the around the same time she slept with Chris. When she was sure her friends saw it, she fixed her dress and turned to the others. "Yea, I know pretty awesome but, anyway. Other than that my life's pretty boring. What have you guys been up to since I left?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

Christopher was never exactly romantic during their late night encounters, but Alexandra definitely remembered him to be more... affectionate than he was being now. She wanted to use Owen right there as being the excuse for why Christopher was acting indifferent towards her, but even she didn't believe that fully. He had always been careful not to let her post any pictures to her social media accounts with him in them because he didn't want Owen finding out, but Lex knew that at least some of his friends knew that they hooked up. He wasn't that secretive about it, and even after Owen and Ariana left the room, he didn't engage with her. He turned his attention to Colette, Marisol and Leo, and it went without saying that it bothered Alexandra. Her glare felt strong enough to burn holes in the side of his face as she waited for him to acknowledge her, flirt with her, include her, do something but he did not seem bothered by it as he continued to tease all three of the others. It was absolutely unacceptable. Alexandra was willing to do almost anything for him, but she wanted that attention in return, and it was clear that he wasn't going to give it to her when he was sober. She knew in a few hours when he got enough alcohol in him, that would be a quick fix, but now that they were going to be living together, she also thought she deserved more than that. She knew Christopher couldn't call her his girlfriend with Owen being a psychopath, but why couldn't he treat her like a friend, just as he did with Yesenia? The answer was that there was no reason why he couldn't do that and still no awaken the beast inside of Owen, and Lex was determined to get that point across to Chris by the end of the night.

And if she was going to make a point of it, then this sandwich was going to have to wait. Marisol had moved a few feet away from the stove when Lex had put the sandwich on it, but her step-sister was going to have to resume her position in front of it now, because Lex was over being a chef. "Finish cooking this or it's going to burn," she said, squeezing Marisol in the side to catch her attention before looping around to catch Leo's arm with her other hand. She didn't give Mari time to protest, and even if she did, Alexa pretended not to hear it. Christopher could eat a half cooked sandwich for all she cared. "Come upstairs with me!" she exclaimed to her friend, already beginning to pull Leo out of the kitchen. "I need to figure out what I'm wearing tonight and I want your help." Emilio was her best friend, and by accepting that position, it meant that he had to help her with her outfits, like it or not. "And I want to hear about this date. Who is she? What did you guys do? And why didn't I hear about this beforehand?" She tried not to sound bothered, and more so curious, but there was definitely at least a hint of being offended in her voice.

Emilio had to roll his eyes the second Chris paraded around the motto he probably lived by on a regular basis: hit it and quit it. Hell, it was one that Yesenia lived by and it was enough to make him cringe. Leo didn't do one night stands or meaningless hook-ups. Not often enough for it be considered a livelihood. At the same time, and Marisol's interjection gave him pause and forced a disturbed expression out of him, he wasn't looking for anything serious. Luckily, Chris managed to bring his sister into the fold and diversion...that was something Leo could do. Especially when it had to do with a flushing Colette, who's typically peachy complexion seemed to turn a light pink as she shot a glare at her brother. "You're probably right. Collie probably is an expert." The inclusion of a nickname the fashionista absolutely detested earned him a scathing look and Leo grinned cheekily. "What's the saying, Collie? Yolo?" His next move was a quick duck, which happened to land him closer to Lex since Colette politely threw her unused plastic knife at him. "Screw you," she growled before tossing another glare Chris' way. "Make fun of me all you want, but at least I'm not the one who'll wind up on repeat episodes of Maury." That had Leo laughing, even when Lex grabbed a hold of him and basically gave him no other option but to nod to his best friend with a grin when she told him to come upstairs with her. Not like he told Lex no a lot, but still. There was no time to deny her request because he was being pulled.

Colette didn't even bother to pay the disappearing duo any attention and focused on Marisol. She could empathize with losing something you literally had no intention of being without. At least, not so soon. Not that she had particularly watched Marisol's most popular show. Yesenia was the TV addict the two of them; Colette watched whatever the Latina put on. And if she happened to have copies of Marisol's infamous television series, the two had not reached it. Besides, Nia had an extensive collection and a lot of Winchester abs to fawn over whenever she got the chance. They would get there eventually. "No, yeah, I get that," she said on an understanding nod, but eventually had to roll her eyes with a small smirk because when did Chris not add his two cents. Luckily for him, and to Colette's amusement, Marisol was quick to respond. Chuckling, Colette offered her brother a small sneer. "You never did tell me what happened with that, CJ," she noted with faux concern, her smirk still present as she teased him. "Don't tell me your game was off. Weren't you the king of this lifestyle?" Her attention was drawn back to Marisol who went on about the attractive Indian guys, which had Colette's smirk widening into a full on, indulging grin. People would call their fawning over Indian guys and their tawny abs a bit of exotifying them; she called it appreciating God's gift. Tomatoe, to-mah-toe. The other girl continued on with her story and Colette nodded, slowly stirring the contents of her cup with her straw idly as she listened.

When it came time to share, Colette only paused for a minute before replying, "Nothing much, just a few projects coming up in the next few months. I've been working on my designs and stuff, nothing too big or anything." It was a practiced response; made it perfect to a T. While Yesenia would be quick to correct her and actually say what Colette was working on, she would rather not, particularly with Chris nearby. She had no intentions of telling her family much of anything, not now anyway. And especially not Ariana and she wasn't going to risk it. The last thing she needed was that condescending smirk and flippant reminder that what she was trying to accomplish wasn't anything particularly notable. She'd rather die from alcohol poisoning, thank you for very much. "Though, I bet Chris has had more fun than the both of us. What number are you on in your little black book, CJ? 145? Herpes to the fifth power...?"

Leo had to roll his eyes behind Lex's head when she told him she needed his help to pick an outfit. She really didn't. Then again, it didn't stop her from asking for it the last time when they went to some random themed party in Calabasas with a few Instagram models and D-List celebrities. But he did perk up, just a bit when she asked about the date. It was probably wishful thinking on his part, but hw wondered how curious she actually was? Or if, perhaps, some part of her was bothered in the way he wanted her to be? As if, he literally had to remind himself before responding with a shrug. "Just Maggie...didn't think you'd really care. 'Sides, it wasn't that big of a deal." At least, he didn't want to make it too big of a deal, not unless Lex actually cared enough to press the situation. They'd probably go out again sooner or later, nothing too serious. But, a part of him couldn't help pressing his friend anyway, just to tease her. "Don't worry, Lex. You still got all my attention."

After much contemplation, and little help from Leo, Alexandra decided on a red dress with white Fendi sandals. The dress was conservative and simple compared to her usual style, but she was sure that she could pull off innocent and sweet if she wanted to. It required a more natural look makeup wise, at least compared to what she usually wore, and she left her hair in it's straight, black state. She tried to tell herself that she wasn't going to try to impress CJ tonight, not with how cold he had been towards her earlier, but she knew that would change the moment she saw him. At least now, it didn't look like she was trying to compete with Yesenia. She wasn't wearing anything super tight or low cut, so it wasn't like she was trying to match up to Yesenia's curves. Tonight, she told herself that she could just focus on herself and have a good time. When Christopher got drunk and came crawling back to her like he always did, she would see how she was feeling then. But she wasn't going to chase him. She couldn't do that now when it would make her look so desperate in front of other people.

Chris wasn't someone that Lex liked to talk about to Leo. It was not because she didn't want to make him jealous, because she didn't know that he had any reason to be jealous, but because she was embarrassed. It wasn't only Leo who she didn't talk to about it frequently, but all of her friends in general. She acted like she had no shame with most things, but she knew that if she had to say it aloud, even she would cringe at some of the things she had done for (and to) Chris, when he had been so disrespectful to her leading right up to it. It was desperation more than anything, but she didn't know why. It wasn't like there weren't guys her age that she could have in bed and to date. None of them had such tight friendships with her brother where it would pose problems like Chris did, and none of them would use her just as a booty call. She knew CJ was more attractive than all of them, but not so dramatically where it made it worth it for Alexa to accept this when she wanted so much more. She didn't know why she was so enthralled by him. Maybe it was because he was older and she was attracted to someone who had more experience. Maybe it was because she knew it was wrong. She honestly didn't know, but she wished that she could have spoken to Leo about it just enough to tell him to not let her do anything stupid tonight out of lust or love.

"So, is Maggie coming tonight?" Alexandra asked, elbowing Leo as she stood next to him near the bar. She had nothing short of a playful expression on her face as her tongue toyed with the small straw inside of her alcoholic Shirley Temple drink. When Leo had told her about Maggie earlier, Lex had inwardly cursed at the fact that the girl was not only pretty, but pretty normal too. She wasn't covered in tattoos or big in the drug scene to where Alexa could sabotage the relationship before it even began. She still didn't know why she would even feel compelled to do such a thing, since she didn't believe that she wanted Leo for herself, but she didn't want someone else having him. Not unless she had her own happy, fulfilling relationship first.

Marisol scoffed at Chris' comment about it not being hard for him to get her back in bed. Oh please. That was years ago, it would take more than her being drunk and him flashing his little playboy smile to make her even think about it. She had been with a lot better people since him, hell one of them ended up almost putting up with her ass for the rest of his life. Besides, she was too old to be hooking up like she used to. Her mother met her father when they were really young and they were married by twenty. Which was crazy and now her mother was saying it was time for her to meet a nice boy to settle down with. Get married, have some kids, but for Marisol that wasn't going to happen until way, way down the road. "Oh please. In your dreams." Before she could say anything else to her friends, Lex had push the spatula in her hands telling her to finish and before she could protest about it Lex was out the door with Leo in tow with her. Marisol just rolled her eyes. Owen wasn't kidding that girl could be a fickled brat every once and a while. Marisol just hold the spatula to Chris when he just had to make a comment about her being his 'chef'. "Give me a break. I'll sleep with you before I'd cook for you." Marisol said was sarcasm in her voice before rolling her eyes. He was crazy if he thought she would cook for him. What did she look like? One of his little gullible fuck buddies? Please. She was his Oscar-winning friend. She rarely cooked for her dad, so just why would she cook for Chris?

Mari returned to her spot and listened to what Colette was up to since Marisol was gone. Colette did a few things, sure she didn't cram a lot of stuff on her plate like Mari but she did make a living for herself one way or another. Besides she could design a hell of a lot better than Marisol ever could. But, she quickly turned the question back to Chris. Marisol listened to the siblings as they bantered back and forth able his lifestyle. And when Chris said he had modeled for Hugo Boss, Marisol just nodded slowly and wolf whistled. "Well, look at you making a career for yourself. Es tan lindo!" (He's so cute!) She laughed to Colette until Chris addressed, in a joking way about how he got mono after they slept together. Her being... Mari. Had to play along. She nodded as she softly nudged him. "Yup, sorry 'bout that, buddy. But, I had to leave you something to remember me by other than those scratches on your back." Marisol smirked before chuckling.

Not long after their conversation, Marisol had excused herself to go get ready with Yesi and Colette. She easily towered over her two friends at a height of probably an even 6 feet with her red heels on as she looked herself over in the mirror. She fixed her god awful white romper. That her mom had really wanted her to wear since she had gotten it for her only daughter while she was in France. Sure, Mari hated how plain and boring it was but it made her mother happy and no matter how old she got she did like seeing a smile on her mom's face. Plus, she did add her own little touches like a pair of red heels and numerous bracelets and golden necklace. She didn't have a lot of makeup on either. She never was a fan of wearing tons and tons of make up espcailly when she wasn't on a red carpet. She wore a little foundation, mascara, some brown eyeliner, and a light pink lip stain before calling it a day. She left her two friends to themselves before going down to get some of her favorite bourbon from their dining room after she was all dressed and made up. She looked at all of their bottles before picking on one she had gotten while she was in Italy with a few friends. Sure it was a few thousands but, it was aged to perfection and would really hit the spot right now. And she only got more excited when Owen had text her, Yesi, and Chris that the food was ready and to go and make a plate for themselves.

Mari smiled as she grabbed a hold on the bottle. She didn't worry about glasses, Owen had a few probably set up outside and if not she would get some after making a plate. As she walked out she smiled towards some of her friends before seeing Owen, she held up the medium size bottle of Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 23 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey. "Hey, bro. I got the bourbon." She set it down one of the tables with a mischievous grin on her face before going to make herself a plate. As she walked through the foods, she would have to hug a few friends while also talking about what she's been up to, which was just so much fun to talk about over and over again to different people.

"Ummm, Bitchlette...I love you, but are you seriously mad 'cuz Owen didn't text you?" Yesenia had been fighting the urge to ask since the second they both had read Owen's text to herself. Colette had allowed her gaze to skim over it before huffing off to the bar and ordered them both peach Sangrias. Colette gave her a peevish look, sipped on her drink before biting out, "Yes, I am." Yesenia's answering look was of befuddlement. "And you're mad...because...?" She offered a sweeping hand movement, as if trying to elicit an answer out of her best friend. Colette only rolled her eyes, snatched Yesenia by the arm and pulled them away from the crowded bar area and in the general direction of food. Though, she did choose to slow down her pace for the sake of not running into Owen too soon.

Once the conversation with CJ had been over, Colette and Mari had made it upstairs just as Yesenia was finished with her shower, already planning to wear some pin-up Fourth of July bullshit just to spite Colette. To spite CJ too, though she kept that one to herself - but the act was enough to make Colette rush to shower herself and then help pick out the other two girls' outfits. Marisol had been easier; Yesenia was complicated. She was known for wearing tighter or more revealing clothes, but had far less scandalous items in her closet than most people would assume. Colette had picked a tame item for the Latina before picking her own, colorful number that perhaps was a bit sexier than her usual. After all, she wasn't going to spend the summer pining away over Owen fucking Collins when her sister had him on a leash. So, if her romper was a bit more backless than Yesenia's, surely she had every right, right? Yesenia had text CJ the second after the pair had left her bedroom.

To: CJ
Game on

"Because it's common courtesy and I shouldn't have to feel like I'm invisible when he was the main one who invited all of us to his house," she huffed out rather dramatically and Yesenia's eyebrow twitched upward, and she chuckled. "I think he's been courteous enough by acknowleding the fact that YOU have been avoiding him. Since...that's exactly what you're doing, right?" Colette grumbled something indiscernible under her breath, causing Yesenia to bump her slightly with her hip. "No," she answered quickly, adamantly even, followed by, "Well...maybe..." She had to take a long sip of her drink then before glaring at Nia. "Shut up! You're confusing me!" Nia's expression was that of exasperation. "I'm the confusing, really?" Colette chose to indulge a bit more in her drink, biting off the piece of peach from the glass.

"Look, babe, the only confusing thing about all of this is you trying to convince yourself that you're over Owen," Yesenia said as they stopped, waving at a few of Nia's modeling friends who had huddled in a canopy-covered sitting area. Colette's face was the perfect picture of the objection she was sure to spew, which made Yesenia sigh and roll her eyes in blatant disbelief. "I am very much over Owen, thank you very much. In fact, there was nothing to get over because I never had anything for him at all." With Colette's back to the food area, Yesenia's gaze rose to see the male in question with his sister in law, and she smirked mischievously before meeting Colette's gaze again. "Oh? Then prove it." Yesenia stepped away before she heard Colette's rather lost, "How?" When the taller female returned in what only was a good ten seconds, she had a fellow model on her arm...a rather attractive male model, if Colette said so herself. "Colette Rockefeller, this is Devran Tasekesen. Very...very attractive Swedish model. Worked with him twice, body is built for the gods..." Devran had the audacity to even blush a bit, though his eyes had a twinkle that made Colette smile. "Devran, this is my best friend and as you can see, she's hot. Crazy hot, a bit of a wildcat...but I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem with that." Colette tried to give an indignant, "Hey!" Yesenia held a hand up, ignoring her friend's cry. She released the much taller male, pushing him a bit closer to Colette. "Now that we've all established that you're both attractive, why don't you both gush about it to each other? Alone? There's even a dance floor for your convenience. Snap to it, people!" It wasn't a request and Yesenia did not even stay long enough to hear Colette's objection to being pushed onto some really, really gorgeous model whose voice honestly should not be that sinfully deep. And oh, it was already hot outside, his hand - which definitely grabbed hers so that they could find seats, should not have been so large and warm - she was going to kill Yesenia.

Yesenia's smirk didn't die down at all, not even when she finally approached Owen as he was fixing a plate. She didn't bother to excuse herself for basically getting in front of the girl behind him, only reached over her to grab an empty plate. "Hey, handsome!" She exclaimed and bumped him lightly with her hip. "Collie would be over, but...she looks a bit distracted, don't you think?" As nonchalantly as possible, she nodded over in Colette and Devran's direction, her smirk appearing only for a second as the towering male flirted with her friend before turning her attention back to Owen. "They're kinda cute, right?" A second later, and a bit covertly with a quick glance around, she inquired, "And where's your leading lady, anyway?"

As always, it had not been too hard to find something for Alexa to wear. Mainly because he didn't always really have to do much of anything other than give an affirmative nod or a casual shake of his head. Perhaps for Owen's sake, maybe for her own, Lex had actually gone with a much more demure option. Leo hadn't really offered too much of an opinion when he had seen it set out on her bed, but he was pretty sure his silence and honestly whipped expression should have been enough. Then again, most of the time, Lex either didn't notice or he had been really good at covering it. Either way, once Lex had picked out her outfit, she had shooed him away for a bit to change and he had done the same once he had gotten back to his room. Maggie had let him know that she and her crew were on their way, he text Yesenia to let her know since she was party buddies with three of them, and then he headed out the second he had gotten a text from Lex.

His attention was brought back tot he present when Lex's elbow bumped into his arm and Leo started just slightly, blinking before meeting her gaze again. She had that really playful, inquisitive stare and to be quite honest, he had been momentarily distracted by the way her tongue peeked out to coyly (and it probably wasn't even fucking coy; he was just that pathetic, honestly) play with her straw. Coughing out a smile and really just trying to focus his brain because randomly staring at your best friend's mouth for 0.5 seconds was not appropriate on any level, Leo chuckled and took a large gulp of his Jack and Coke. "Uh, yeah, yeah. She's supposed to be...should be here any minute now." Honestly, in the span of the two seconds it took to get distracted by Lex's mouth and then right himself so that he wouldn't get caught, Leo almost had been like "Maggie, who?". Almost. Painting on a grin, he elbowed Lex back playfully while inquiring, "Don't tell me you're about to be one of those best friends and twenty-question her the second you meet her?"

Chris made a point to socialize with twice as many girls as he normally would have within the first thirty minutes of the party, just because Yesenia had made it clear that she wasn't going to be an easy catch. He was cool with that. He liked a challenge, but Chris still was in the mindset where he wanted her to play by his rules. He could wait it out, but only if in the end, it meant that she was the one crawling over to him... and into his bed. Not the other way around. He would show her that she wanted him more than he wanted her, and that it had been that way all along. He would admit that he wanted her, and that after he had caught a glimpse of her in that red romper earlier, he wanted her a lot but he needed her to want him more. He didn't know why, why he needed that validation that he wasn't going to have to chase her, or even that it would be a mutual amount of lust. He had an ego, but he didn't think it was that big. He considered that maybe it was because Nia was one of the strongest girls he knew. She was headstrong and when she knew what she wanted from people, it was incredibly easy for her to get it out of them. He was like that too, and he wanted to see her lose that control before he did. He was the king of this lifestyle, and her text saying "game on" only made him want to prove that. Yesenia was unlike any other girl he had ever wanted, but this was Chris, and he still didn't think he was going to need to give up his reputation and control for anyone.

Chris was busy talking to some girls from the Wilhemina modeling agency when he got Owen's text, but he didn't open it right away. After a couple of minutes passed, he broke away from the girls but only because he had heard talk about the food being put out. He'd be back to woo their pants off later in the night, once his stomach was full and after he had a few drinks in him. Which reminded him that he needed to stop at the bar before heading over to the food area. Leo and Alexandra were there, but he offered them just a friendly nod before his drink was ready and he took it towards the food area. Before the tables were even in sight, his mouth was watering. Chris arguably had addictions to a couple of things, but food was definitely at the top of that list. He could eat ten meals a day and still be hungry, and the food that was on the menu tonight made him wish he could eat ten meals of it. He looked at Owen's text as he walked, but didn't respond to it. Instead, he took the opportunity to snap a quick picture of Colette and a fellow model, Devran Taskesen, who Chris didn't know personally, and send it in a group text to Colette and Ariana. Along with the picture, he wrote, "Ari, did she ask you to be the maid of honor bc I haven't gotten my groomsman invitation yet..."

He didn't see Owen and Yesenia right away, but as he worked his way through the food stations, he realized it was because he had started at the other end as them. He met them halfway through, with a plate that was already overflowing with various grilled foods. "Come on, Nia. You're gonna need to add a little bit more to that plate if you want the energy to keep up with me. Game on, remember?" he grinned.
