Stella only grinned sheepishly when Jas called her out for her popularity. She only shrugged and took a dainty sip of her drink, forgetting all about her own manners in favor of getting more of the alcoholic lemonade in her system, nodding congenially to the new guys, a surprisingly cute pair of twins. Surprisingly enough, as she scanned the club, the party really was a hit. And who said the Preps couldn't throw one hell of a party? She beamed at the thought of Jasmine and Sienna actually being in Sienna's studio together. Eventually, her plans of seeing them actually do a cover or even a duet together would be fulfilled, especially since this was Sienna's first venture in the R&B world. "Done and done," she told Jasmine in regards to getting her the address. Sienna ordered Erik a Jagermeister before leaning against the bar beside her friend, running her eyes over the strangers before catching Stella eyeing them too.
"Really now?" She whispered to which the Prep sent her a look. "Shush." Soon after, Jasmine was heading off to get the guys painted, leaving Stella alone with Sienna and Erik. The two brunettes settled to whispering to each other while the male drank up to get enough energy to keep up with Sienna. When it came to dancing, Sienna could last for hours - this much, she was aware. Not many could say they could stay with her, especially once she lost herself in the music, which was she always prone to do. "Who's that?" Sienna asked in Stella's ear and the latter hummed inquisitively, following the senior Devil Girl's gaze until they fell on a familiar face. "Uhh, Edgar something? I think he's a Drifter." Stella thought about it for a moment before adding, "You should know him. He hangs around the jocks a lot. Like, a lot a lot. I think he's friends with...Angelina." Stella recalled the former Prep from back in the day. Despite Angel having been a year ahead of her, when Stella came to Hollywood High, she knew that there was always a party if Angelina was involved. She had liked her energy, though they had never been close. So, when the girl had her 'fall from grace,' it didn't really surprise her that Angel went with the Animals. She fit there better anyway. Edgar, she wasn't so familiar with. She glanced back at Sienna's contemplative face. "Why'd you ask?" Sienna shrugged before sipping her own drink. "No real reason...he was staring. I don't like people staring at me." She said nonchalantly and Stella chuckled. "Pleeeeaaasseee, you love the attention." She said jokingly and Sienna punched her shoulder lightly as Stella felt her phone buzz in her pocket. She pulled it out to see two texts from Honey and frowned just a bit. She would have rather had her friend come and tell her she was leaving. It would have let Stella see what the issue was. However, it was obviously too late for that. So, she sent out a quick text to Honey before turning back to the bartender and ordering a Bahama Mama for Jasmine. It had a fun Island feel that she liked.
To: Honey
Sure thing, lovely. I'll try to swing by after the next hour or so if you're still up. Also, Jas & I are doing a studio session with Sienna tomorrow and then we're hitting up the beach. You down? Chad's gonna be there :D
Chad and Ricky laughed aloud at the very horrible dancing this one drunk guy was doing. It was hilarious only because of how put out his partner was. She tried to move to the upbeat and fast tempo of the music, but when the guy practically kneed her in the stomach, it was over. Any chances of him getting laid were done and over, and Chad sympathized, but Ricky was having too much fun with the spectacle of it to even feel an inch of the aforementioned emotion. "That was so horrible." Chad finally said and Ricky shook his head, wiping the actual tears from his eyes. "Awww, lighten up, dude! That was gold! Stella should've been here to tape that!" Chad shook his head just as his gaze fell on Jasmine and these two guys he had never seen before. "Should we go say hi?" He felt a little bad about suddenly leaving Jasmine without really talking to her, since it was rare when they actually did any catching up. But Ricky shook his head. "Nah, they're not important. We can talk to Jas later." He just wasn't in the mood to meet new people. At the same time, their phones buzzed and they pulled them out, both solemnly glancing at the screens. Rick was the first to put his away. Chad stared at it a bit longer before sending a response to Honey.
To: Honey
It's fine. We should still talk though. Maybe tomorrow?

"Galactica it is. Good luck." She smirked as he handed her the coins. Did she think she was going to win? No, but either way she was planning to kiss Izzy. As the game went on and on, Angel nudged Izzy with her hip to distract him. And, while she was paying attention to the game she did look at the jock from the corner of her eye. While she did look at him, blush reached her cheeks and a smile grew on her face.
When she finally won, she felt like he let her win but, a victory was a victory. "Oh, yea! I am victorious!" She said as she turned to Izzy and danced a small victory dance. "Hmm. So, I guess this means I owe you something now? What to give the victor?" She just shrugged with a coy smile on her face. She watched him move closer to her as her smile grew bigger and a bigger the closer he got to her and when his hand went to the side of her face, she let out a chuckle to try and hide the blush forming on her face. While Izzy leaned into her, she softly closed her eyes and let him kiss her.
She slid her hands to his sides and grabbed the sides of his shirt just to deepen the kiss a bit and pull him closer to her. When he pulled back, she pulled him back to her once more just because she didn't want to let go of the tingling she got in her body. She pulled away slowly before leaving her forehead to lean on his as he talked to her. "Just wanted to make sure I got the kiss." She didn't even say anything to him, all she did was chuckle before tighten her grip on his shirt as she moved in to kiss him again. The only difference? She wasn't the one getting the kiss, instead she was the one in control meaning she made it something worth throwing a game for. Was it gentle and soft, like the one before it... Somewhat but more than anything it was passion filled and if there was any doubt in his mind, made it clear that she earned her role of 'The queen of the Animals'. When she pulled back and let his shirt go, she smiled as she looked up at him and cleared her throat. "So... Um, Do you want to eat... Or do you want to lose another bet and give me something else?" She asked with a genuine, but somewhat seductive smile on her face as she raised an eyebrow towards him.
Tyler thanked Jasmine for saying that he looked good with his clothing painted and multicolored necklace. Taylor quirked his lips to the side and rolled his eyes as they followed her back to the bar, where the popular people were. Taylor eyes caught someone, or two people looking at him and Tyler as he raised a brow then nudged Tyler in the arm. "Hey. Think you have a fan." Taylor pointed his index finger across the room as Tyler squinted his eyes then caught sight of some guy staring at them. "Well, he's staring at both of us, is he not?" Tyler asked while glancing towards the male, every now and then, looking at Taylor. "I don't think he's staring at me. I'd hate to disappoint him." Tyler chuckled and snorted a little at Taylor's comment, who then nudged him again.
"Dude, just go over there. What's the worst that could happen?" Taylor encouraged his brother, who looked at him. "I'll come back cover in alcohol and it'll ruin my paint." Tyler responded as Taylor shook his head, shrugging his shoulders. "I am not going to make you go over there." Taylor turned his attention towards Jasmine, who said something about the dance floor. "Sure. Care to dance with me?" He'd ask while basically grabbing a hold of her hand and pulling her towards the dance floor anyway. He'd chuckle while staring down at her as they danced.
Tyler bit his bottom, nervously and contemplating about going over and talking to the guy that he has been staring at for about ten minutes now. Before heading over there, Tyler order himself a Strawberry Daiquiri then thanked the bartender while finally mustering up some strength and slowly making his way over towards the other end of the club. He'd finally make it over there, taking a big sip from his Daiquiri before inhaling then exhaling and walking up beside the male.
"Uhm, hi." His voice was a little shaky from nerves but he cleared his throat then smiled towards him. "I'm Tyler. And you are?" He'd put his hand out for the male to shake, still having a smile gleam across his lips as his eyes briefly scanned towards the dance floor before turning back to meet the gaze of the handsome male before him.
Taylor and Tyler? whoever their parents was they had to be evil. Who named their pair of copy-paste twins names that was so alike? Luckily Jasmine dragged them away to the painting boot before Erik could make a fool of himself by calling them by the wrong name. While Erik had been trying to think of some way to tell the twins apart Sienna had ordered him a Jagermeister which were a pretty good call as the German liquor was one of his favorites. Unfortunately the glass it came in didn't really contain allot of it, so while Sienna talked to Stella, who Erik couldn't help but feel like was a pretty important person, he ordered another two shots of the licorice tasting beverage which he then quickly gulped down before turning towards the ladies again.
Now with three shots of confidence in him, Erik actually felt pretty good about himself. Not that he had been especially insecure before, but alcohol defiantly helped with taking the edge of his well-hidden shyness. "Thank you very much for the drink fair lady" Erik said with a joking smile and planted a ridiculously over-played kiss on Sienna's cheek. While he would have loved to slip his arm around her waist, he restrained himself and instead stood in front of the two girls leaning against the bar. "Now, excuse me if I'm mistaken, but you wouldn't happen to be related to the Vanessa Hudgens?" Erik asked while looking at Stella. His sister was an extreme high school musical fan and Erik was pretty sure he'd been shown at least 20 pictures of Vanessa Hudgens with a girl that looked allot like this one.
"Oh, and also while I remember it. Could you girls help me find people in the school that fits two of my three criteria?" Erik asked before Stella could give her answer, the alcohol was starting to affect his manners a little. "One: Rich or wealthy. Two: Relatively dumb or naive. Three: slightly gambling addicted"
Despite being at a party, Stella had somehow gotten Sienna chilled enough to simply talk. At most events like these, Sienna would be the main one on the dance floor if she wasn't by Ricky's side or with the Devil Girls wreaking havoc somewhere. But with the junior Prep, the co-captain of the Devil Girls was very much relaxed and her usual guard was down. So, she was actually a bit shocked when Erik got out of whatever winded mood he was in and kissed her cheek, which was definitely a little surprise. One of Stella's eyebrows rose as she sipped the last of her drink to which Sienna only smirked lightly. "No problem," she told the transfer student. After that, Erik's attention was on the second female and Stella giggled.
"Um, yeah. She's my big sister," Stella answered easily. She was used to this question. Wherever she went, if the person didn't already know her she was answering their inquiries about how similar her features were to her sister's. Granted, there had not always been incredibly nice comparisons and she near cringed at the memory, but smiled anyway for the guy. She was too busy being surprised that Sienna was still talking to the guy. He didn't seem...as confident as Sienna's playthings usually were - as sharp. He was undoubtedly attractive, especially now when he actually did look much longer and wasn't covered in thick scruff, but still. It was a question she'd have to ask her friend later. Both girls were equally amused and confused by Erik's next inquiries.
"Well, if you were looking for wealthy, you pretty much are talking to two of those people now," Stella decided to say, not really sure what Erik needed with anyone that was dumb or naïve. Or even addicted to gambling, which she was not a fan of unless she was making bets with friends. And even then, she and the others usually only bet up to fifty dollars. Sienna stepped in on the last part. "And dumb or naïve usually would revolve around the Wannabes, though not every single one of them are rich." Stella shot her a look but Sienna didn't seem to care. "And gambling is a...I don't know, Ricky might know better?" Stella glanced at Sienna inquiringly and Sienna shrugged in response. As much as she spent time with her best friend, she didn't really care about every little thing he did. In fact, he had Royal friends that Sienna honestly could give two fucks about. Stella, while Sienna was pondering, decided to ask the burning question while simultaneously wondering when her bestie would return so that she could drag the singer on the dance floor. "Why do you ask?"
Deeper in the club, Shailene wouldn't be able to tell anyone how many songs had played while she had danced with Linnaea. There had been a brief moment where a guy had grabbed her by the waist and upon seeing how attractive he was, she danced with him anyway. But she had mostly stuck by her friend's side, making sure to keep Linn moving as much as possible. Now, her brown skin had a nice sheen and her shirt was clinging to her skin. She leaned close to the blonde. "Hey, I think I need a break. Wanna go grab some air?" She could have simply gone to get a drink, but she didn't want Linn drinking anything else. Besides, eventually the party would wind down. It was reaching midnight and they would probably be shutting the party down soon enough. It would be an excuse to avoid the crowd when they tried to disperse.

With both Taylor and Tyler painted the trio returned to where the others still were at the bar. When they got there the twins had started bickering back and forth about Hollywood High's other set of twins who were apparently eye-stalking them. Jasmine wasn't paying much attention to what the twins were saying as she plopped herself onto one of the bar stools and found the Bahama Mama that Stella had ordered for her. Grabbing the chilled drink Jasmine happily sipped away. Although she hadn't been out on the dance floor all night, the club was crazy humid because of all the bodies packed inside it and Jasmine had been feeling a bit hot and dehydrated. She knew that because she had made plans to go to the studio with Stella and Sienna tomorrow that this would be her one and only drink; so she made sure every sip count.
Once she had drunken the majority of her beverage she got down off the stool and asked, "Anyone feel like hitting the dance floor with me?" She figured it would be Stella who took her up on her offer but to her surprise it was Taylor who took her up on her offer."Sure. Care to dance with me?" Taylor asked and before she could even answer yes or no as he took hold of her hand and led her out to the dance floor. Jasmine didn't complain as she dance with Taylor. Her body was in tune with the music as her hips swayed and moved to rhythm of the club music.
While she hadn't originally even wanted to come out to BLOK tonight she was happy that she had. She had gotten to meet some hot twins. Stella was happy that she had come out. She knew that both Alessandra and Isaiah would be happy that she hadn't spent her Friday not at home or cuddled up with Jake. Tonight had been a very fun night and because of it she also now had plans for tomorrow morning. She had totally failed in keeping in eye on Shailene for Alessandra but she hoped that he sister would forgive her and at least from what she did see Shailene appeared to be in good hands. While Jasmine hadn't actually spoken to Shay tonight she had seen her on the dance floor with Linnaea for practically the entire night. So, Jasmine knew Alessandra's bestie was in good hands.
She didn't say anything to him at first, but he knew that she had enjoyed the kiss because of the way she pulled him into during the kiss. He just smiled at her as she chuckled before gripping his shirt again and this time kissing him. If all his losses ended like this he wouldn't mind losing more often. When she pulled back and let his shirt go, they both just looked at each other smiling. She looking up at him and him looking down at her. They just stared into each others eyes smiling. Angelina was the one to break the silence as she cleared her throat and asked, "So... Um, Do you want to eat... Or do you want to lose another bet and give me something else?" She asked with a genuine, but somewhat seductive smile on her face as she raised an eyebrow towards him.
Part of him definitely wanted to lose another bet. Along with another and another after that. But, as much as he enjoyed kissing Angelina he was enjoying just hanging out and getting to know her more. He knew that she was the Queen of the Animals but that didn't mean he was only here for a make out session or sex. Isaiah didn't rent out places for just anyone. He genuinely liked Angelina and while he had been playing down what it is they were doing and how he felt he did actually want to get to know her. He didn't care about the fact that she was a former prep who had fallen from grace or that her home life wasn't what it use to be or any of that. He just knew that he liked Angel and he wanted to know more about her. Now that wasn't to say that he would be breaking his oath to himself and actually getting into a committed relationship, but he was open to seeing where this all went.
"Wow, it's almost midnight." Isaiah commented as he was staring at his cell that he had just turned back on. The time had really flown after the end of their little game competition. Isaiah had gored on hot wings, chicken tenders, nachos and he had also had fried cinnamon rolls; which meant he had total thrown whatever diet he was suppose to be on out the window. Jasmine would be pissed. If he told her which he wasn't planning on doing unless she brought it up. Which he figured she wouldn't as she would be to busy focusing on everything else that transpired during he and Angelina's date. Which outside of the two kisses there wasn't much to gossip about. They had spent all their time after that just stuffing their faces and talking. It had been great.
The Jillian staff were now busy cleaning up and preparing things for opening tomorrow. Isaiah figured it was time for them to get going. "Are you foster folks gonna be upset with me for bringing you home so late?" He asked slipping his phone that was full of unread messages and un-listened to voicemails. He would mostly likely go through his phone when he woke up in the morning. He knew it was just gonna be his friends telling him about all the fun and drama that went down at BLOK.
Honey looked up from her movie when her phone buzzed. The first Text was from Stella and she smiled at it. She was interested in how Sienna was doing with her music and she wanted to see Jas's progress so that sounded fun. Though she was a bit hesitant to hit the beach with Chadwick. The second text was from Chadwick and she licked her lips and she opened it. She didn't want to talk about it ever. She was done with it and she wanted him to be done with it too.
To: Stella
Sounds amazing I'll be there. I really want to see how Jas's music is coming along too. She's made so much progress. I'm really proud of her. I don't know how things are going on the chad front. I think I made a new record of messing up my relationship from day 1. Yay.
To:Jas
Hey love can't wait to see you in the recording studio tomorrow
To:Chad
Why? We'll all be having fun at the beach. I'm not getting into it tomorrow. We can talk about it now if you want through text. I'd invite you over but I'm in Catalina mode

She went back to watching her movie when she heard a loud crash and baby Gino start screaming. She ran from her living room to his room. Picking him up she rocked him and began to coo at him. "It's ok G I'm here." She said softly in his ear as he began to settle. Holding him securely she walked toward the sound to see Rionna drunk off her ass grabbing at her older brother Javi, who looked pissed, pants. Her older sister Ally had her arms crossed and was staring daggers at Rionna. Lina, who was only a few months younger than her looked appalled and her twin brother Nicky was holding their youngest sister Priss, who was two years younger back.
"Not that I don't love surprise family reunions but what's going on?" She said still rocking Gino. Nicky looked from Gino back to Honey's face and his face softened but he said nothing. Honey let out a shaky laugh, "Hello anybody gonna tell me what's going on?".
It was Ally who approached her Chu Chi... Rionna has been blackmailing Javi" She said softly. Honey's eyes shot at Rionna and she managed to hiss out "What the fuck is she talking about?" Rionna scrambled to her feet, "Honey she's lying Rionna said with a desperate look on her face.
Honey glanced at her brother and knew it wasn't a lie. He finally spoke up, "I'm applying for custody of him. Ma said she'll help me. He said with a small smile. Honey smiled back at him, happy he was in Gino's life. She whirled on Rionna, "Get out"
She said calmly. Rionna looked at her with wide eyes and Honey shook her head. "Get the fuck out." At that Nicky released Priss who stalked towards Rionna, who made a very quick exit out.
Honey invited her family to stay as long as they wanted. Her penthouse had three main bedrooms and two guest bedrooms. They were extra lounge rooms and a kids room for the past owners but she had them converted to guest bedrooms. Everyone had a room so they all retired for the night. It wasn't until they all went in their rooms that she noticed they all brought at least a duffel bag with them. Nicky brought a suitcase, though she imagined he was going to leave some clothes there, so did Priss and Javi.
Once everything died down she pulled out her phone. Most of her friends wouldn't understand her predicament . They didn't have complicated families. If they did they didn't share it with her. So she texted him even though she knew it probably wasn't wise.
To:Ricky
I need to talk to you. Some stuff went down and you're the only one who'd understand. Can we meet up tomorrow. Please I just need you to save me one more time

But you two are way to adorable to, figuratively speaking, rob" Erik said jokingly as Stella said that they were both rich. Of course Erik had already figured out that they didn't exactly lack anything money could buy. To be honest he had been hoping for some exact names and such, but he at least he was a little closer to finding someone who'd be into poker. When they mentioned that The King might be into gambling a sly grin spread across Erik's face, but before he could say anything Stella asked him the question of why he wanted that kind of people.
It was a little surprising that none of them had guessed it. It was sort of obvious that he wanted to do something gambling related, but then again there is quite allot of stuff that is related to gambling so maybe Erik couldn't blame them for it after all. "Well, I'm starting to get short on money and I'm sort of a god in poker" Erik laughed a little before changing his mind "Okay, I'll admit 'god' might be a little too cocky. Lets just say I'm really good at it" He did have some skill in the game, but to be honest most of his 'skill' was strongly related to his much better skill at cheating. "Really good at any sort of ting with cards. A sly grin spread across Erik's face "And please tell me our bellowed king plays poker, because the ace of spades" Erik said pointing his thumbs at himself "Would love to lighten the King of Hearts' wallet" Then he burst out in laughter as he realized how dumb that sounded. "And please pretend like I didn't just say that m'kay?"
Linn felt better after dancing for a little while. She had noticed Shai being grabbed, and was about to intervene when Shai decided to dance with him anyway. Although a little envious, Linn danced on her own for a little while, watching her friend out of the corner of her eye, to make sure she was okay and safe. In fact, it wasn't too long before she had her own dance partner. She didn't recognize him, but he was cute, and the alcohol in her system was causing her to be overconfident, and throw all caution to the wind. She was going to have one heck of a hangover tomorrow.
All in all, Linn was having a good time. She'd forgotten about her emotions of jealousy, the tension between her and Catalina, and the confusion that she'd had. It might've been the alcohol. To be honest, Linn didn't care anymore. Anyone's first heartbreak hurts, but Linn was drowning all her emotion with dance, sweat, and drinks. She hadn't really noticed the closeness of her partner until he brushed past her, and she held her breath instinctively. A heartbeat later, Shai was asking if she wanted to head outside. Grateful to her friend, she nodded, taking her hand and following her outside.
She wished that California didn't have so much light pollution - it would have been a nice end to a messed up day. Naea really felt like she had lost part of herself, that day. She felt like she had lost two friends, and the most caring part of herself. The reserved part that she knew appealed to everyone. She sighed, looking up at the sky as she followed Shai out. Linn finally noticed how sweaty she was, after looking at the other girl. They were practically dripping with sweat. "Hey, Shai? Want to head back to my house for the rest of the night? I know Alice would love to see you, and we could go riding tomorrow, too." She suggested. She would have contacted Allie, but who knows where she was at this hour, and Shai was here. And she was helping a lot more than she knew Allie would have the patience to. Besides, her ex had just gotten into a relationship, too. They'd share the same feelings, but Linn knew she would end up doing something she would regret. Maybe tomorrow, she resolved.
Florian couldn't help but grin to himself when Charlie agreed to come. Slightly too happy, he spoke again, "Great! I'll text you the address and meet ya there. It'll be awesome." He told her, before she hung up. He stood there for a few seconds before celebrating by punching the air. "Yesss!" He hissed to himself.
A few seconds later, Ollie had driven up and had rolled down the window, shouting at him if he'd changed his mind, with a grin. Flo grinned back, flicking his hair out of his eyes, before walking over to the car and carefully placing the guitar and skateboard on the back seat, before hopping over the seat and into shotgun seat. "Houston, we are ready to rumble!" He cheered.
He listened to Ollie's little comment about his car, and Florian had to hide a little grin. "Dude, does it have chicken nuggets somewhere, or is it a little nugget of gold or something?" He was messing around with the guy, but he was sure that Ollie would guess that. "Yeah, it's cool. Better than any car I'd ever get." He laughed a little to himself. "Oh, yeah, Charlie's making her own way." He quickly texted Ollie's address to her, hoping that she was being serious. It would be really cool to hang out, all three of them. "I'm ready for some awesome pool party action!"
Charlie saw her phone light up out of the corner of her eye and grabbed it off the side table. She opened the message from Florian and read it quietly to herself, “8570 Hedges Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90069.” She raised an eyebrow slightly and stood, brushing herself off. She walked towards the kitchen and put her car keys on the counter. The house was right around the block from her, so there was no need for her to be driving.
Charlie walked over the junk drawer next to her fridge. She pulled out a pen and small post it note, quickly writing a note to her father. Her dad was never big on texting, so she soon learned it was best if she left a note on the fridge, the first place he went after work. Humming to herself, she stuck the green note on the silver door and walked to the front door. She grabbed her bag and locked the door behind her, slipping on her sunglasses as she did so.
About five minutes later she arrived at the address given to her. She double checked the address on the house with that on her phone and walked up to the door, passed a silver car in the driveway. She knocked lightly on the door and waited for it to open. When the door opened, she came face to face with the boy she had never spoken a word to. She saw Florian as well, right near Oliver and she sighed quietly. She slid her sunglasses on top of her head so her hair was pushed back out of her face. “Uh, thanks for having me. We’ve never officially met, so I’m Charlie, but you must have known that to invite me.” Charlie hated introducing herself. She found it to be awkward, and it made her uneasy to be introducing herself to someone she didn’t know one thing about. However, she couldn’t just stand there and enter Oliver’s house without him officially meeting her. She had entered a stranger’s house the night of the party, but that was a different situation. This time there was less people and it was more personal. She grinned as Oliver told her she could come in. She passed through the door and entered in to the house, shutting the door behind her. As she looked around briefly, she wondered how tonight would go. She was the only girl and with two boys: one she was civil with, and the other she had just met. If things started to go downhill in any way, at least she could just walk home. On the other hand, that would be rude. Whatever the case, she hoped she wasn't wasting her time.
There was an obvious tick in Chad's jaw when he read the latest text message from Honey and Ric, at first, only raised an eyebrow when the Prep downed a shot without even making a face. After a few minutes, Chad was typing a text himself before rising. "You ok?" Chad didn't answer for a minute and shoved his phone into his pocket before turning to his best friend, "Heading home. I'll see you at Sia's studio." He didn't give Ricky a chance to say anything more as he was heading through the crowd and the King of HHS had a very perturbed expression on his face, deciding to send his own message out to someone who could help the situation.
To: Honey
Fine. I'll just see you tomorrow. Goodnight.
To: Shay
Idk what da fuck just happened, but ur boy is pissed.
Shailene smiled gratefully when Linn conceded and led her blonde friend out of the cloud, coolness flowing through her the second the night air hit her slick skin. She ran her fingers through her loose curls, feeling her phone buzz in her back pocket. A bit more relaxed now that she wasn't in the humid and crowded place, she truly pondered Linn's inquiries before remembering one small problem with that plan. "I'd love to, but apparently, Ric and Sienna are staying over. Their stuff is already in my room. You're more than welcome to spend the night though and we can head over to your place in the morning?" She didn't know what Linnaea would want to do in the situation considering the fact that she wasn't particularly close with either the Devil Girl or the King of HHS, but at least she knew the latter. And she could always come sleep in Shailene's room or any of the other rooms, it didn't matter. With that suggestion in the air, she pulled out her phone to see Ricky's text and her brow knitted curiously. As if on cue, Chadwick came out of the club and Shay glanced at Linnaea only fleetingly before running over to catch up to the Prep.
"Hey, love! What's wrong?" She asked and placed a hand on Chad's arm as they walked, seeing how he wasn't stopping any time soon. "I'm fine, Shay." Chad was so engrossed in just getting home and allowing the day to end that he didn't even pay attention to who else was around him. And Shailene wasn't buying his little brushing off either. "Obviously, if you were fine, you would actually stop and talk to me." That last word was said with a small push, which halted Chad's movements just as they reached his vehicle. He gave Shailene a very exasperated look before letting out a large amount of breath. He didn't want to have this conversation with Shay, not here. He also didn't want to text Honey about whatever the hell had happened earlier or just shove it in the recesses of his mind like she apparently wanted him to do. But yet and still, Chad was being himself and actually letting it slide, leading to him feeling frustrated and in no mood for people. He felt like...like swimming, or kicking something. Hell, punching something almost sounded like a plan. "I'm sorry," was what he ended up saying in a tone that was too flat for Shay to believe that he was really genuine about the apology. She searched his face for a sign of anything else, but all he offered was a blank wall that she knew she wasn't going to be able to get through, not with Linnaea here - not right now. So, she conceded, releasing his arm. "Call me when you get home then." Chad nodded slowly before finally seeing Linnaea. "Sure, and hey, Linn." With a hard swallow because of words he didn't actually know how to form, Chad simply leaned down and hugged Shay before climbing into his car and driving off. Shailene sighed and turned to her friend, running a tired hand through her hair. "I guess we're all not the only ones having a rough night."
Back inside, Sienna was a bit too amused by Erik's explanation of wanting to find gamblers. The most she had ever gambled away happened in maybe a few games with Ricky or some of the other jocks, just really for fun. She was a competitive individual, of course she had wanted to try it. But it wasn't really her thing. However, to amuse Erik, she smirked. "Hmm...I'd love to see this 'poker-God' in action one of these days," she said with a purr, running a hand over his slowly before her phone buzzed. "I'll be right back." Winking at him, she bumped Stella on her way into the crowd, to which the junior Prep rolled her eyes and turned the guy beside her. "Well, good luck with the whole 'lightening Ricky's pocket' thing. Nine times out of ten, you would never be able to lighten his pocket. There's only one person in this entire school that's richer than him and Chad's not exactly the gambling type." She said dryly just as Jasmine returned with the guys and began slurping on her drink. Stella could tell that, in her heart, it was getting close to the time to leave. Granted, if any of her friends wanted to stay, she could easily chill with them. However, as a person who wasn't a partier, she could feel her body being ready to go. It wasn't as if she was tired or anything; she just felt like moving and moving didn't really include to another section of the club. But when Jas stood up and was ready to dance, Stella was all for it. However, when Taylor (she hoped she got that one right) hopped up to take Jasmine's bait, Stella couldn't find it in herself to be a cock-block. Apparently, Tyler had run off too, leaving just Stella and Erik. Smirking to herself, she turned to the guy with a small grin and said, "And then there were two." She wasn't always keen on people she didn't know, not unless there was a friend to buffer her. But knowing Sienna, she was probably out looking for Ricky and Stella would have to keep her little friend company until the Devil Girl returned. "So, what are your intentions with my girl?" Might as well keep him on edge, right?
Ricky stared down at the text from Honey for a moment and honestly wanted to simply ignore it; just shove his phone back in his pocket and flirt with the ginger from earlier. He could find Adrienne and distract himself from thoughts of the sexy singer. The singer who happened to also be his best friend's girl. Which was the only reason why Ricky didn't flirt in the text nor tease. A part of him didn't understand why she even turned to him at the moment. She had Chad who was the quintessential good guy. Surely, her boyfriend - and he found himself thinking the word with an edge that didn't belong - could come to her rescue, as she put it.
To: Honey
Helping out with Sia at the studio tomorrow. We can talk then or meet up later, you decide.
He had just been putting his phone away when Sienna came plopping herself down on the couch. "You're pouting." Ricky made a face at her words. "And you still have clothes on. I'm surprised you haven't fucked that loser yet." Sienna scowled at her bestie and punched his arm. "Not as much of a slut as you." Ricky sneered, "Still a slut." There relationship was definitely - or, at least sounded - very dysfunctional at times. They could both be extremely abrasive, particularly with one another. However, that was just how they worked and after a beat, Sienna looked around them. "Where's Boy Wonder?" Ricky shrugged with a carefree expression. "Went home. Trouble in paradise." Sienna's eyebrows rose and she perceptively noted the tick in Ricky's jaw. "Does this trouble have anything to do with you?" If looks could kill, Sienna would probably be on the floor at the moment with a bullet wound in her head. She flippantly ran a hand through her hair. "Don't bitch-face me. You're the one who wants to fuck his best friend's girlfriend." Ricky literally could kill his bestie sometimes. Loved her to death most of the times. Other times, she really didn't seem to care. "I haven't touched her, have I?" Sienna didn't say anything for a moment and when she did, there was no hint of an edge or even sarcasm. It was just straight-up honesty mixed with something a bit softer. "The point is that you fucked up with Leah and that cost you whatever friendship and relationship you guys had. And I'll say it as many times as everyone needs to hear it, Honey's hot. But no bitch is worth one night of satisfying your thirst. So, whatever it is that's got your panties in a bunch, drop it now. I'm not dealing with it tomorrow and neither should you." Rising, Sienna pulled him up right along with her. She knew he hated whenever she brought up Aaliyah, but it was what it was. He had fucked up and yeah, he could apologize and sure, Sienna knew his reasons for being as fucked up as he was. But at the end of the day, she wasn't going to leave him in some corner to fuck the bitterness out of himself. They would be leaving sooner or later. Ricky didn't need to be moping on the couch. Chad shouldn't either, but he was already too far gone for her to be concerned about.

Chad shouldn't either, but he was already too far gone for her to be concerned about.
While Angel and Izzy were eating and telling stories to one another, Angel couldn't help but think how amazing it was to be able to talk to someone without having to worrying about them judging her. Not that she was ever going to tell anyone how nice it was. She did have an image to uphold. Which made her start to over think things in the back of her mind about their kiss or, more importantly their lack of after the two kisses the pair shared over two hours ago.
"Why hasn't he tried to kiss me again? I really liked kissing him....Have I lost my touch?!--.. No, no way, not possible... I mean, he seemed to like it... But, what if he only kissed me again so he wouldn't hurt my feelings. I mean, yea I was a little... Aggressive, but I'm still a great kisser. What if he's not into me and..-- And, we're really just hanging out as friends?! No, he wouldn't have kissed me if this was only as friends. But--.. Wait a minute. I am Angelina Exteberria-Rivera, queen of the animals and one of the sexist girls in that school, so why am I freaking out about a jock?
Maybe she was freaking out so much about a jock, because that jock was Isaiah Scott, the same guy she has had a crush on since freshmen year.The whole time these thoughts were going through her head, she did continue to listen to Isaiah, because whether she would admit it or not, she really was enjoying their time together. He was funny and charming, and to an extent, had his sweet moments. Not, to mention the fact that he didn't judge her when she seemingly ate her weight in food. "Wow, it's almost midnight." She looked at her still off phone as she turned it on to see the time and about twenty unread messages from her friends, asking her if she would just do a hit and run and get her ass to their party. Wow. Time really did go by fast. Just from the glimpse she took at the messages, it seemed like there were three fights, four breakups, and one 911 call to the police. Meaning, in the morning she would find out just which ones of her friends were in the slammer for drugs and/or alcohol.
She put her phone back in her bag as she looked back Isaiah as he talked to her. "Are you foster folks gonna be upset with me for bringing you home so late?" This was it. This was the last time she could try and get him to take her home. She just smirked as she let her hand brush make small circles on his as she shook her head and let her leg brush softly against his. "They've never made a big deal about what time I get home before. I think it should be fine."
Edgar groaned as he reached Angel's voicemail instantly for the fourth time. Angel never turned off her phone, ever and she always made sure it was charged, so what was the problem? There was no way she turned off her phone for Isaiah, no matter how gaga she was over him. She still loved her phone more. He rolled his eyes as he slid his phone back in his back pocket as he turned back towards the dancefloor to see his sister having close to the time of her life. Which, did put a smile on the drifter's face as he took the last sip of his drink only to turn towards the bar and asked the bartender for yet, another one.
As he waited for his drink, Edgar could feel someone walk up next to him only to start stuttering. "Uhm, hi." Since Edgar was... Edgar, the flirty smartass who loved to see people nervous, hearing this easily made him raise an eyebrow and grow a Cheshire cat-like smile on his face as he set his glass down to turn around to see the cuter of the new twins in front of him. The French man smiled towards the slightly shorter as he stuck out his hand and introduced himself. "I'm Tyler. And you are?"
Edgar grabbed his hand softly and shook it as he turned his charming smile to Tyler. "Tyler, I like it. I'm Edgar. You're one of the new twins, right? And, before you ask; yes, word does travel fast here." He said with a chuckle as he noticed not far from the pair was Evan and what he could assume, to be her new boyfriend or whatever. Either way, he'd find out at home but, for now his full attention was on Tyler.
Clearly Erik was doing something right. Sienna was defiantly flirting with him, she was even starting to get a little physical. It wasn't more than a simple stroke on his hand but still, it was something. The thought of grabbing her hand managed to surface in Erik's head just a moment too late before Sienna seemed to have some sort of new bestfriend duties. "Get some shots in his system him"" Erik said to Sienna's back as she walked away, watching her lovely ass as it walked towards His Highness. "How the hell does she manage to look sexy walking away from me? Erik asked jokingly, not really wanting an answer.
He had to laugh at Stella's comment about how hard it would be to lighten Ricardo's wallet "Well, a 10 percent chance is better than nothing" he replied, turning his attention from Sienna's back to Stella's face. As Jasmine and twin number 1 (taylor) and 2 (tyler) which Erik was going to call them from now on Erik tried to figure out some kind of good topic of debate, but just as soon as they had appear they were gone again. Number 1 heading for the dancefloor with Jasmine and number 2 heading towards a very tall guy whom Erik couldn't help but get a rather gay vibe from, not that it mattered much. "And then there were two" Erik repeated and raised an imaginary glass in an imaginary toast towards Stella.
It couldn't be argued that Stella's next question was a hard one and Erik had a feeling his answer would inflict his chances with Sienna greatly, so to buy some time he made a quick joke. "Well, no point in lying is there? I'm gonna marry her for her money, divorce her and take half of her stuff, and then run home to mama" he said with a teasing smile as he came up with a pretty damn honest answer "But to be serious. I'm a straight male teenager. What my intentions with a girl as beautiful as Sienna shouldn't be that hard to guess" Erik said and shrugged before ordering a glass of Guinness from the bartender. "After that I'm actually not sure. Guess it depends on if she wants me or not" He said in a -for everyone that knew him well- surprisingly honest tone. It was actually completely true, if he was lucky enough to get the chance to hit the hay with Sienna everything had worked out quite allot better than Erik had ever expected, so if she decided to dump him afterwards it wouldn't really matter that much. "But don't think for a second that I wouldn't love something more long-lasting than just sex with her" He finished with a little wink and took sip of the bitter beer. "Tell me, should I fear anything from His Highness? Didn't really seam like he liked me that much in the car." Erik asked in a nonchalant tone. This was something he really wanted to know, but no point in showing it.
She just smirked as she let her hand brush make small circles on his as she shook her head and let her leg brush softly against his. "They've never made a big deal about what time I get home before. I think it should be fine." Isaiah got the strong urge that Angelina was trying to seduce him and boy did he want to be seduced. His little head and his big head had been going at it since they shared those two amazing kisses over two hours ago. His little head wanted him to invite Angelina back to his place but his brain was telling him that was a big idea. If he did take her home and they ended up having sex then that only left Isaiah with two options. Either he would have to add Angelina to his hit it and quit list or they would have to define the relationship. Animal or not Angelina was a girl and whether they said it or not sex always meant something. Isaiah just didn't want to cross that line and ruin whatever it was they were building between them. He had promised himself that his senior year would be uncomplicated and drama-free and committed relationships were nothing but complications and drama. He was only a week into the new school year and he was not about to go and make things all weird and complicated between him and Angel when he didn't even what exactly they were doing yet.
Clearing his throat Isaiah got up from the table. "Well that's good to know. We should get going. It'll be close to one by the time I get you home." He couldn't tell if Angel was upset or not about him not inviting her back to his place for a nightcap. He just couldn't do it. He wasn't ready to take that step and the fact that he felt that way made him feel like a bitch. But, he was going with his brain on this one. He thanked and said goodbye to the staff members that they passed as they left the restaurant arcade. From there they walked to the valet and Isaiah got his car back and he drove Angelina back to her foster home in East LA. They got there fifteen minutes to one and when they arrived Isaiah got out of the car and walked around to the passenger side and opened the door for Angelina to get out. "I don't know about you but I had a great time. One of top five first dates by far." He said as he walked her to her door.
Several songs had passed and the time just seemed to be passing by. As much as she was enjoying dancing with Taylor her bed was starting to call out to her. After a busy day of school, procrastinating over whether or not she would come out to this party and then ultimately coming out (and having a great time), now she just wanted to go home and crawl into bed. As the song the were dancing to came to an end Jasmine stopped dancing. "I think it's time I get going. It's been fun. Tell your brother I said goodbye." She placed a kiss on his cheek than walked over to the bar where Stella was still hanging out with Sienna's dude.
"I'm calling it a night." Jasmine said when she reach her best friend throwing her arms around her giving her a hug. "Thank you for pestering me to come out. I had fun. And I'll see you tomorrow at the dance studio." Jasmine said with a smile. She gave a small wave in Erik's direction not that she really felt a need to say goodbye to the guy seeing as they had zero conversation and she didn't even know him. But, it felt weird to just ignore his presence. She weaved her way out of the club and stepping outside there was a nice nighttime California breeze blowing. It felt amazing in comparison to the humidity of the club.
She saw Shailene and Linnaea outside and she decided to do I quick drive by hi-and-bye not wanting to leave without saying anything. "Hey loves. I'm heading home, but I just wanted to say something seeing as I haven't seen either of you all night. Allie's gonna be pissed that I didn't keep my word and keep an eye on you. But, I got distracted by hot twins. I cannot be blamed." Jasmine said jokingly as a yawn suddenly crept up on her and she suddenly felt really tired. "Oookay and I am officially done for the night. I love chicas. Get home safe." She said goodbye to the two popular girls and headed to the parking lot getting in her car and driving home.
Taylor watched a few of Jasmine's movements before adding in a few of his own. He had a smile plastered upon his face as they danced. He wasn't really much of a dancer but decided to just take a chance anyway. His eyes glanced over as his brother, who was obviously preoccupied with some guy. He'd find the details out later about that little arrangement. His eyes looked at Jasmine after a few songs had passed, along with the time and just eyed her as she talked. "Yeah, it has been fun. It was really nice meeting you." He said while watching her as she walked away after receiving a kiss from her on the cheek. A girl bumped into him by accident as she chuckled then apologized. "Eh, it's okay. This dance floor is pretty crowded." He flashed a charming smile over towards her then went back to the bar, where they were before. He leaned on the counter top then waved at a bartender, who came over. "Uhm, glass of water, please."
The bartender glanced at him with a raised brow then shrugged his shoulders while handing him his water. "Thanks." Taylor said while turning around, leaning his back against the counter top now. A soft smile curved the corners among his lips as he is kind of glad his brother dragged him out here tonight.
Tyler looked at Edgar when he said that he liked his name with a slight blush appearing on his cheeks. When he heard his next words, Tyler chuckled a little bit. "That's not it. You've been staring at us..." He pointed at himself with a smile. "But more importantly me all night." Tyler took a small sip from his drink then eyed Edgar. "But it's okay. I'm here now, aren't I?" Another nervous chuckle escaped over his parted lips as he played with the small black straw that was inserted into his drink.
"So..." He bit his bottom lip while rocking on the balls of his feet. His eyes glanced towards Taylor, who was back over at the bar as he wondered where Jasmine had scurried off to. "Uhm, it was nice meeting you but I think I am going to go back over there." He pointed with his thumb in the direction he was going. Tyler quickly turned around and walked away from Edgar, sitting beside his brother when he reaches the bar.
"So, any luck?" Taylor asked Tyler, who glanced back in Edgar's direction then turned towards his brother and shrugged his shoulders. "He's... I don't know, honestly." Tyler sighed while glancing at his brother. "So, did Jasmine leave because of your horrible dancing?" They both chuckled then Taylor responded. "No, she had to leave. Going home I am assuming." Tyler nodded his head then turned back and glanced out at the dance floor. "Well, another successful party, brother." They clinked their glasses together then took a sip afterwards while wondering what they were going to do tomorrow.
"Maybe tomorrow we can just hang out at home since we really don't know anybody around these parts." Taylor spoke as Tyler raised a brow. "I am not going to be cooped up into the house all day. Live a little, brother." Tyler then looked over at some of the people he had met earlier, well just one of them remained. "Hey, Stella!" He called out while walking over there towards her. "So that I will not be bored to death tomorrow, what do you guys have planned? If it's confidential or a girl's day out, I totally understand." He'd ask then say while looking at her, completely ignoring the guy she was talking to.
"Dude, does it have chicken nuggets somewhere, or is it a little nugget of gold or something?" Flo asked, and Ollie snickered. "No, It just looks a bit funky, like a chicken nugget though." he answered, as they drove up to his father's house. Flo and he got into the house and, as they got out to the pool area Flo said "I'm ready for some awesome pool party action!" and Ollie agreed. Ollie walked around the pool and crouched down to test the water with his fingers, it was not too chilly perfect for a night swim. As he got up, he heard Edwin say "Oliver, There is someone at the door. Do I get it?" "Edwin, I've got it!" he shouted. And Flo and Ollie walked quickly to the front door, Ollie knew it was Charlie. He's never actually talked to her, so he was a bit anxious. What if she didn't like him, because he was too awkward or something.
He shook the thought out of his head, and opened the door, and there stood Charlie. He looked at her, she was beautiful in her outfit. He was almost afraid to break the silence, and he silently thanked her when she did herself. Uh, thanks for having me. We’ve never officially met, so I’m Charlie, but you must have known that to invite me.” she said. Ollie looked down before saying "Yeah, we haven't really met. I'm Oliver, this dude's best bro. I'm glad you came, I'm hoping we'll have some fun. Come on in."
As she entered he lead her and Flo out towards the back. "Well, out there is the pool, and here are the munchies, and booze is at the bar outside." Oliver said as he walked over to the table that snacks like fruits, and bite sized sandwiches were spread out on. "Help yourselves, I'll be back in a jiffy, need to get some swim trunks on." he said, and sprinted down the hall and up the stair and into his seldom used room. Digging through the closet he found a pair that seemed to fit alright. Slipping them on, and then finding a black tank to go with it he stalled at the mirror. He wanted to look good, on a night he planned to get piss drunk. He was pretty pissed at his mum, and right now he just wanted to get it off his mind, and drunk swimming seemed like the best option. Especially with two good looking people, and yeah now he does admit he kind of finds Flo attractive. Sometimes he even noticed himself staring at his friend. But right now he needed to get downstairs and get a bottle of vodka into his hands.
From the way Isaiah cleared his throat as he got up, Angel could just tell that it wasn't going to happen. "Well that's good to know. We should get going. It'll be close to one by the time I get you home." She let out a sharp but quiet sigh as she got up from the table. She slid her jacket back on and fixed her jeans before she walked to Isaiah's side as they started to walk out. She smiled towards the staff before turning her irritated glare back down towards the ground. When they got in the car, Angel curled up in the passenger seat as they drove off and laid her head on the window to watch the city pass by. She didn't even know what to say to Isaiah. What if he wasn't in to her? Or she turned him off from liking her somehow during the date? Maybe she shouldn't have smacked talked him while they were doing their little competition, or talked some much when they were talking to one another. Whatever it was, she was beating herself up over it in her mind.
And because of that, the ride to her house was a bit quiet. The only thing they kept it from being rather completely silent was the radio which, of course was going crazy with the long songs and ballads. Maybe it wouldn't have bothered her if she wasn't going home. But, since she was hearing the songs got a tad bit irritating.
When they pulled up to her house took a deep sigh before getting up from leaning on the car door as she saw Izzy coming to letting her. She smiled softly as she got out to walk to her door, only to feel Isaiah walk up beside her. Not that she saw him walk up since her eyes were on the cement. If she kept her eyes down she couldn't make anymore mistakes. "I don't know about you but I had a great time. One of top five first dates by far." She chuckled as she looked up towards him as they stepped up to her front door. She turned towards him, hiding the insecurities going through her head behind her all too common smirk as she spoke in sarcasm. "Just as long as mine was better than Alessandra's." She leaned into him to kiss him lightly for the last time only to have the front porch light flicker on and off. Meaning, that Annie and Emilia were both waiting for her to return with her little 'friend'. Angelina pulled back with an awkward smile on her as she tilted her head towards the front door.
"And, that's my cue to stop." She walked to the door and opened it only to turn back around for a second to say goodbye as she leaned against the frame. "Night, Isaiah." And with that, she close the door behind her. She could still see Annie and Emmy looking out the window slyly to watch Izzy. "Wow, you're actually home." Annie said as she turned from the window to Angel who had a look on her face with many things; confusion, irritation, doubt in herself, and... to an extent... a look that showed she really did have a great time. "Yea... I am."
"Well...? How was it? Is he your boyfriend now or something." Emilia signed to Annie, to have her wife translate to Angel. The young girl only shook her head as she walked into the hallway. She could hear them sigh as she walked into the bedroom to start removing her makeup. As she was doing so, she just started to think about the date. Not how he didn't take her home but, how for 99% of the time... She really did have an amazing time with him. She undid her ponytail and put it in a bun. She looked at herself for a second before sighing. She did kind of want to brag with Annie and Emmy. She walked into the living room to see the lights off as they had started watching what looked like A Walk To Remember. When Emmy saw her, she lower the volume to get Annie's atention who also turned towards Angel with a smirk and raised eyebrow. "You ready to gossip?" Angel just chuckled before looking down at her bare, sore feet.
"It was nice." She admitted as she walked out of the room with a smirk on her face as she looked down at her phone to finally call Edgar back, only to hear the two women laugh like two teenage girls.
"That's not it. You've been staring at us... But more importantly me all night." Edgar just chuckled as he finished the final sip of my drink before putting on the bar and turning back towards Tyler. He chuckled before biting his lip and speaking. "Yea, no my sister and I like being nosy especially when it comes to other twins." He admitted. "But it's okay. I'm here now, aren't I?"
He smiled towards Tyler before nodding softly as he rubbed the back of his neck. "That you are." Edgar was good at reading people and he could tell the guy was nervous even if he tried not to seem like it. He looked at him messing with his straw as he chuckled nervously. Edgar really didn't know why Tyler was so nervous, Edgar was tall and tattoos but, he was as vicious and intimating as a butterfly... well, unless he was angry which he wasn't. How could he be? He had a hot guy in front of him. And Edgar could tell there was no way Tyler was completely straight. If he was, he would have said he wasn't interested off the bat and, he wouldn't have been so adorably nervous. "So... Uhm, it was nice meeting you but I think I am going to go back over there." Edgar raised an eyebrow as he looked over to where Tyler was pointed. "Nice meeting you too, Tyler. I guess I'll see you around..." He watched Tyler walk away just as Evangeline walked up and nudged his side. "Sooo, which one was that one?" Edgar just smirk as he groaned. "His name's Tyler."
"And...?" Evan asked as Edgar shrugged. "And.. that's all he told me. Give me a day or two, I'll find shit out." Evan chuckled as she linked arms with him and walked to the door. "Wait, wait, wait. What about you and your new boyfriend?" Evan rolled her eyes as she got in the driver's side of the car. "I got his number--..And, no. You can't tell anyone." She said when she heard her brother gasp at the fact that his sister has finally gotten the attention she's deserve as a Beauchamp. Edgar just groaned as he rolled his eyes at what his sister said. Fine, I won't tell anyone but, I will--.." He stopped talked when his phone went off and he saw the picture of him and Angel in Disneyland with their matching ears on flashed on his screen. "Finally!" He answered his phone and couldn't even get a word out before Angel started to speak and just by her voice, he could tell she was stressing out about something and doubting herself. "I have no idea what to do anymore, Eddy! I need advice." He put his phone on speaker before leaning back in his seat. "Tell us everything."
"Just as long as mine was better than Alessandra's." Before he could comment she leaned into him and kissed him lightly for the last time tonight. When the front porch lights started to flicker Isaiah chuckled as Angelina pulled away from him with an awkward smile on her face as she tilted her head towards the front door."And, that's my cue to stop." She walked to the door and opened it turning back around for a second she leaned against the frame. "Night, Isaiah." Isaiah smiled. "Nite Angel." And with that, she close the door behind her. He could see her foster moms peeking at him through the window and he just smiled and gave an awkward wave in there direction before turning around and walking to his car.
As he started his car he turned the radio off and drove off opting to drive in absolute silence. He needed some time to process the nights events. He had had fun. It looked like Angelina had had fun. But, it was clear that Angelina wanted the hangout-turned-date night to end differently than it had. He had gotten the green light from her and instead of taking it and ending the night with the Queen of the Animals in his bed; he had taken her home. He could sense that she was a bit annoyed with him but than she had kissed, so he wasn't exactly sure how she felt about him. Which left him feeling confused and a bit mindfucked.
He wasn't sure why or how but somehow forty minutes later he was still in his car and nowhere near his house. Instead of driving from East LA to Bel Air he had drove from East LA to Santa Monica. His mind had been in it's own world and he really hadn't taken any notice to where it was he heading. As he stopped at the light he saw the DK Donuts store and decided to park and get some donuts. He had already failed whatever healthy diet he was suppose to be on so he saw no reason why not to just indulge. He order a dozen various double decker o-nuts and he was back on the road. You would think from there he would have ended up heading home but instead he ended up at the Ambrosia Estate. He didn't come around the estate a lot since his breakup with Alessandra, but seeing as she was out of the country at the moment it somehow felt; safe.
It was one thing coming back to the estate with one of the girls but when you came only and unannounced, especially at the hour Isaiah was showing up at; there was a process. First, he was stopped at the gatehouse for screening and then from there he drove down the mile long driveway to the front of the house. At the front of the house two of the family's executive protection staff members where waiting for him. After receiving a quick pat-down from the 6'4 tall giant that looked to have at least a hundred and fifty pounds on him, he was escorted to Jasmine's room.
Although when she had finally made it home she had been so exhausted Jasmine was one of those people who had a skin regime routine that she could not go to bed without doing. She had blemish-free skin and she liked it that way. So, when she got in the first thing she did was sit down at her vanity and began taking her makeup off. No matter how tired she was she always had to take off her makeup before bed. She hated acne more than she craved sleep, so she never wore her makeup to bed because of clogged pores and such. She used some of the alcohol free moisturizing wipes she kept on vanity to wipe all the day's makeup off he face. Then getting up and going to her bathroom she ran some cold water over a wash cloth and washed her face with it just to make sure she got everything off. Then she walked back to her vanity and put on her moisturizer. Once that was done she took a shower as she felt really sweaty and she didn't want to climb into her clean bed like that. When she got out she threw on her cookie monster shirt and pajama pants and climb into bed.
She was just about to turn in for the night when a knocked sounded on her door. "Miss Villegas? You have a visitor." Who the hell? Jasmine thought to herself as she answered back saying, "Come in." When the door opened and Isaiah walked into her room Jasmine was happily surprised to see him. She had wanted to talk to him about his date but she figured she would have to wait until tomorrow to do so. "I brought donuts." He said as he entered the room holding up the DK Donuts bag. "It's like two in the morning." She said looking at him as he walked around and plopped down on the bed. "So, your saying you don't want the donuts?" Isaiah said slyly as he looked at her knowingly. "I hate you. Now give me a donut." Isaiah laughed as he kicked off his sneakers and laid his back against the pillows as he got comfortable pushing the bag towards her. "I'll work it off tomorrow. I'm going to the studio tomorrow with Stella and Sienna." Jasmine said as she pulled the box of dozens out of the bag and opened the box. "So, how was your date?" She asked as she took the strawberries n' cream o-nut out of the box and bit into the strawberry goodness.
Chad had ignored his phone the first time it buzzed. He figured it was Shailene not wanting to really drop the subject. It very well could have been Rick and he didn't feel like dealing with whatever tantrum-ridden commentary Ricardo wanted to throw his way. Chad didn't want to care about what was going on in his best friend's head. He didn't want to have a chit chat with Shailene about his feelings. He honestly, at this point, wanted to be back in his home where there was silence. However, after the third time of his phone buzzing, he pulled off on the side of the road and glanced at it to see a missed call from Sienna and two texts from the same person.
To: Chad
Be a dick. Idc. Not my fault u n bae got issues.
To: Chad
Btw, if ur pissed cuz she's texting Ric to meet up, get over it. She chose u.
Be a dick. Idc. Not my fault u n bae got issues.
To: Chad

At first, Chad simply rolled his eyes at Sienna's usual display of caring-but-not-trying-to-seem-like-she's-caring. To be honest, the act was getting old to him. She cared a lot more than she wanted to admit and it was okay. It was about time she started acknowledging that she wasn't some heartless bitch. It would probably do her wonders on the Aaliyah front, but Chad knew she wouldn't hear it. What really drew his attention, however, was the second text. Why he felt a surge of...possessiveness, he didn't know. Chad wasn't the possessive type. However, knowing that Honey was texting Ricky - someone she wasn't even particularly close with - explained a lot. Her being concerned about him the other day, Ricky's attitude since finding out about their date...
He needed to talk to Honey.
Never mind the fact that he was halfway home, Chad turned the car his car around at the next light, the U-turn sharper than he would have admitted. A sort of anxiety filled him at the thought that there was already something going on between the girl he liked and his best friend. Granted, he wasn't jumping to conclusions. However, he did know Ricky and Rick's attitude meant that he felt something. And if Honey and Rick were making plans to meet up, Sienna felt the need to remind him that he had been Honey's choice, why hadn't he known that Ricky was an option? He didn't need to be stepping on anyone's toes and as he had told Honey earlier in the night, there would be no games between them. If there was something going on, he wanted to at least objectively understand and accept it. He was allowed that right, right?
It possibly was a twenty minute ride to Honey's complex and for a second, he needed to sit in his car and cool down. Chad was too excited. He didn't want to seem frazzled or jealous in front of her. This needed to be a serious conversation. Besides, she could still be upset about Linnaea, he hypothesized. It wouldn't do anyone any good if he just stormed up to her place and making accusations. Breathing slowly, Chad ran a hand over his face, parked, and then headed inside, pressing the buzzer linked to Honey's penthouse to alert her that someone was trying to get on the elevator. He also decided to send her a text.
To: Honey
We need to talk now. I'm downstairs.
We need to talk now. I'm downstairs.
Honey frowned when her phone buzzed. She had retired from the viewing room to her bedroom. The screen had lit up as she was was watching re runs of Law and Order SVU. Almost as quickly as they'd shown up her family had settled into their own respective rooms and she silently thanked god the label had put her up in such a spacious pent house. It was like a mansion in the sky which usually annoyed her but came in handy today.
Chad's name flashed on the screen as well as a bubble that had a picture of them cuddling that she actually really loved, even though it was taken by some weirdo watching them on a date. She jumped up and faced her mirror. She pulled her bun out, ditching it for a ponytail. It was way too late now to ditch her jammies. Her actual jammies, not the Tommy Hilfiger sports bra and low rise sweatpants that cost more than her designer jeans, but the short shorts with a cartoon junk food pattern, crop cami that said eat me in big red letters, and giant pikachu slippers. She glanced at her dresser, specifically at the contacts, but shook her head. He'd see Catalina one of these days. Might as well be today.
She didn't answer, instead buzzing him in and sending a text to the Doorman to usher him to the private old school elevator that lead directly into her penthouse. The elevator shaft was supposed to be renovated and moved but she convinced them to keep it. Nothing wrong with a little vintage touch. She opened the steel panels separating her from the elevator with the push of a button and waited in front of it.
She was getting exceedingly worried. Chad wasn't spontaneous. He was sweet and dependable, he didn't show up unannounced places. It was so unlike him and she wad to wonder if he was coming to end it. She bit her lip as she heard the elevator make it's way up. Slowly creeping little bit by little bit. Maybe it wasn't slow, she didn't know, she couldn't tell.
Chad could feel the anxiety eating at him the closer and closer the elevator approached Honey's penthouse. Somehow the bravado that had egged him on when he decided to come settle things with her had vanished and in its place was the typical Chadwick - the one who was more than ready to scurry away with his tail between his legs. He wasn't bold like Sienna or Ricky. He knew that and yet, running away now seemed pointless. He wanted to work things out with Honey. He really really liked Honey. And clearing the air now seemed a bit more logical than throwing everything under the bus tomorrow. Besides, as the elevator doors opened to reveal his favorite singer, any chance of escape seemed futile.
Uh, hi," was his pathetic attempt at words and inwardly, Chad shook his head at his own nervousness. He was the one who had decided to come over. Surely, he could have said something like that. Chad tugged idly at his jean pockets before adding, "I know it's late...I j-just..." He cleared his throat. "I just really needed to see you." There it was out there and when Honey let him in, he gladly stepped into the spacious apartment, eyes taking in small details before he turned back around to her.
Honey was really pretty outside of school, he realized. Chad had noticed that before, had noticed a few times but it always struck him stupid. To him, she never needed make-up or anything to look good. That simply came natural and right now, she never looked more beautiful. Everything seemed natural. He found himself chuckling at her slippers affectionately before meeting her gaze. "I...I get that earlier with Linn...it might have seemed awkward. And there's nothing going on, I swear. I can talk to her. I just...I didn't want you to be upset about that." Chad felt out of place and confused about where he was even going with this. Maybe she was right. Maybe they should have just left this alone and they would have seen each other tomorrow and pretended like none of this even happened. He shook his head and continued, "I think...I think the real reason I'm here, I guess, is...is because I..." He paused. "I just don't wanna step on any toes if we...are really doing this. Do you, uh, have a thing for him?"
There. It was out. It still didn't shake the anxiety away.
As soon as he finished Honey crossed the space separating them until she was right in front of him. She hadn't even thought about Chad getting jealous she was so focused on herself and Linn. She wanted to kiss him and make him comfortable again. He looked so nervous and torn and she felt terrible knowing that she caused that. She reached for his hand then tugged him to her bedroom and closed the door.
"Chaddy I only have a thing for you." She said as soon as they were in the safety of her room and she didn't have to worry about her family butting in. She had tugged his hand, directing him to the small couch though she didn't sit down herself. It wasn't the most neutral place to have a conversation, what with the giant bed behind them, but it would have to do. She stood in front of him, taking him in. She had to admit she liked seeing him in her space. "I texted Ricky because my brothers baby mama, who's living with me because my family doesn't want anything to do with her and neither does hers, has been extorting my family. My siblings are all here and I just didn't want to give you even more of an opportunity to realize that we're from different worlds. Linnaea is from your world. She's smart, poised, and cute. She'll fit in with your family and crowd. I bet you two are even looking at the same ivy league schools."
She looked down at her slippers. They were her favorite slippers. Any little piece of Catalina that she got to keep was her favorite. She took a deep breath and continued. "You probably feel the same way about me and Ricky. You're right he probably would make more sense for me. But I don't want him. I want you." She slowly, cautiously, sat in his lap, straddling him. "I want our quite car rides, I want you to play with my hair when you're bored, I want you to indulge in my constant need to touch you. Not Ricky or any other guy you " She leaned her forehead against his. "Chad I've been invested in this for a while. I just never thought that you'd actually go for me." She smiled at him, "But you did."
She felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulder. The fact that he got jealous and came over here, which was completely out of character, had her feeling all warm and gooey all over. "That being said I really hope we're done with this conversation because the fact that you came here unexpected and jealous is super hot and I was trying really hard to be good while we talked but I think we're done talking." She stood up tugging his hand again until they were lying on her bed. She nestled in the crook of his arm. " I want to be with you, just you and I'll tell Ricky that if you want. Hell, I'll but a custom made jacket with property of Big Daddy Chaddy sewed onto the back. You don't need to talk to Linn. She has a crush on you and I know that if you were dating her I'd be miserable enough without you telling me I need to back off. So if we're done...." She said wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him.
She pulled back and stroked his bottom lip "Will you stay the night? We can drive to the beach together tomorrow. Maybe you could meet my family in the morning. I make amazing pancakes with lots of fun stuff. You know like iHop?"
The light smirk on Stella's face morphed ever-so-slightly into a wide grin as Erik began his explanation of his future plans with Sienna and before long, a light laugh escaped her. "Ah, I get it," she said, though it wasn't really directed to him. Other than what Stella noticed Sienna might find attractive in his physique and the fact that he wasn't a guy from their school, she hadn't actually thought Erik could last with Sienna more than a few days. Why her friend hadn't just sexed him up already was a mystery at first, but she understood a bit. While Sienna supposedly wasn't looking for anyone this year since she was a senior and didn't need anyone trying to hold her back, Erik provided her with something Sienna always liked in guys: entertainment. So what if he was obviously nervous around her and it lent to the idea that he was somewhat socially-awkward? He was precious, in that sense, and Sienna - no matter how much of a hardass she liked to believe she was - loved precious.
Stella cleared her throat slightly at the thought of Ricky, not sure how Ricardo had been acting earlier. "Not really sure what the issue was with him today, I think Sia said he was in a bad mood anyway and it probably wasn't you," she explained. "But, you're messing with his best friend, so he might be wary of you. Ric usually knows everyone in school and well, you're new and you're messing with Sia and no one really knows a thing about you yet. So, he's probably secretly planning your murder somewhere." Stella winked at the last part just as Jasmine came back over to them and hugged her. Stella smirked at the warmth radiating off of her beastie's body from the dancing that she was doing and grinned at Jasmine. "See! I'm an awesome bestie and you are very welcome! I'll text you the address." Stella didn't know if Sienna really was going to get to the dancing portion of her studio time tomorrow as she knew that the singer wanted to get at least one of her songs acoustic versions underway and post at least one cover for her fans who had been waiting for something in this particular genre, but who knew what was going to happen? After bidding Jasmine goodnight, Stella glanced around the club before deciding that she was ready to go.
Shailene was about to part ways with Linnaea with the promise of meeting the blonde tomorrow when Jasmine had made it outside. Shailene waved at the Performer and smiled, "Hey, Jas!" She refused to make a comment about Alessandra having wanted Jasmine to watch her, willing the bitter thoughts away. To be honest, she was done bitching over her bestie internally. It was what it was, at the end of the day. Besides, she had had fun without Alessandra. And she could have fun tomorrow without her too. All she needed to do was hang out with Linnaea at her house for a few hours and then drag her friend out tomorrow for lunch, and maybe something else. The beach, perhaps? Who knew? Hugging Linn for the night, Shailene headed over to her car and slid in, turning it on before texting Ricky and Sienna that she was ready to go. A small yawn eased its way past her lips. "Yep, definitely time to hit the hay." She said to herself as she waited for her friends to be ready to go.
Stella was just about to leave Erik to his own devices when Sienna and Rick walked over to the bar, Sienna still gripping Rick by the wrist. Smiling at the slightly put-out expression on the King of HHS' face (and Ricky looked so cute being petulant), Stella took two steps before pouncing on him, wrapping her arms around Ricky's shoulders. "Stop pouting, Ricky." She whispered before pecking his cheek. Ricardo offered her a somewhat affectionate smirk and Stella only beamed back at him. "Don't know about the rest of you. But I'm leaving. I'll see you guys...later today." Sienna nodded before sliding beside Erik. "Ok, 11, Stells." Stella nodded, pecked Ricky's cheek again before disappearing into the crowd just as Ricky's phone buzzed in his pocket. "Shay's ready to go." He told the two and started heading outside, phone still in hand. Sienna sighed before tugging Erik with her. "Can't really do shit if the driver's ready to go. Anyway, you doing anything tomorrow? I'm doing a studio session and then we're all heading to the beach? We're actually getting in the water this time, I promise." She told him as they exited the club.
Stella cleared her throat slightly at the thought of Ricky, not sure how Ricardo had been acting earlier. "Not really sure what the issue was with him today, I think Sia said he was in a bad mood anyway and it probably wasn't you," she explained.

Smiling at the slightly put-out expression on the King of HHS' face (and Ricky looked so cute being petulant), Stella took two steps before pouncing on him, wrapping her arms around Ricky's shoulders. "Stop pouting, Ricky." She whispered before pecking his cheek. Ricardo offered her a somewhat affectionate smirk and Stella only beamed back at him. "Don't know about the rest of you. But I'm leaving. I'll see you guys...later today." Sienna nodded before sliding beside Erik. "Ok, 11, Stells." Stella nodded, pecked Ricky's cheek again before disappearing into the crowd just as Ricky's phone buzzed in his pocket. "Shay's ready to go." He told the two and started heading outside, phone still in hand. Sienna sighed before tugging Erik with her. "Can't really do shit if the driver's ready to go. Anyway, you doing anything tomorrow? I'm doing a studio session and then we're all heading to the beach? We're actually getting in the water this time, I promise." She told him as they exited the club.
When Jasmine had asked about his date Isaiah couldn't help but lay it all out for her. He figured subconsciously that why he had ended up at her place at close to two in the morning. He needed to openly talk about his date with Angelina and this inner confusion that he was feeling with someone, and Jasmine was really the only person he could do that with. He may have had other friends, but this wasn't a conversation to have with the guys and he didn't feel comfortable showing up to any other girls house at this hour. So, they had gorged on the dozen double decker donuts that Isaiah had brought over, somehow managing to eat every donut in the box, while talking about Isaiah's date.
Isaiah had explained to Jasmine how much he had had on the date and how he had thought it had went well. The thing that had him feeling a bit perplexed was whether or not he had made a mistake by not taking Angelina how and smashing. Jasmine was fully aware of Isaiah disinterest in getting into a committed relationship. It was his senior year. He just wanted to make memories and have fun. Plus, it was senior year, which meant if he did get into a new relationship that relationship would mostly end when June came around. Everyone knows that you don't take the girl from high school with you when you leave high school. So, what was the point of starting something serious just for it to end in eleven months. And that's considering the relationship lasts until June.
Jasmine had offered up her advice and opinion on the matter saying that Izzy should just stop worrying about having to possibly define things and just have fun. She personal didn't see Angelina as the type of girl who even wanted a relationship. The girl was the "queen" of the animals. Animals didn't do relationships. They were all about fucking around and having a good time. Which meant given what Isaiah was looking for Angelina just so happened to be the prefect fit as she was the pretty kind of girl to have a friends with benefits sort of situation with. At least in this particular case, Isaiah would be able to have his cake and eat it too.
At around four in the morning a sugar rush had hit them and they had ended up passing out close to five. "Izzy. Izzy. Izzy wake the hell up!" Jasmine shouted thumping Isaiah over the head with a pillow. "Ahh! This is not a polite way to treat a houseguest." Isaiah said as Jasmine went to hit him for a second time and he caught the pillow and pulled her from her grasp. She scoffed at him, "Houseguest? Boy please! You stopped being a guest at this house years ago." Thinking about for a quick second he just laughed with a shrug as he got up off the floor. "Why are we in the theater?" It was Jasmine's turn to shrug as she looked around the spacious theater room. "I have no idea but am putting whatever damage we did on you and your damn donuts."
Isaiah laughed as he picked up the second pillow which he figured had been the one he had slept on and followed behind Jasmine as she walked out of the theater. "So, what time do you have to meet up with Stella and Sienna at the studio?" Isaiah asked as they got on the elevator and Jasmine pressed the number 2 button. Jasmine gave a simple shrug of her shoulders. "I have no idea. Stella is suppose to be texting me the address and time." She said answering his question as the elevator doors opened. The second level of the house was buzzing with activity as the morning staff workers were busy at work. "You going to the studio with me or do you have other plans for the day?" Isaiah didn't have any Saturday plans but he wasn't sure if he just wanted to hang out at the dance studio doing nothing. Doing the windmill he started to playfully attack Jasmine with the pillows that he was holding in each hand. Jasmine startled by the sudden attack shifted between fits of screaming and laughter as they play fought all the way to back to her room.
"Your such an asshole!" Jasmine yelled when she slammed onto her bed. "And you love me anyways." Isaiah said with a cheeky smile as he hit her repeatedly with the pillows for a couple of seconds before tossing them onto the bed. "I'm gonna go home. Feed the dog. Wash my ass. And I'll meet you at the studio at the end of your little dance session." Jasmine who was bright red and struggling to breath because of all the laughing and screaming she had done just nodded her head slowly as she regained her breath. Thrusting her arm into the air she gave him a thumbs up, "Sounds like a plan." She got out through shallow breaths to which Isaiah just laughed at. "Text me later." He bent down and gave Jasmine a kiss on the cheek before turning around and taking his leave.
Alone in her room Jasmine laid on her bed for a brief moment before rolling out of bed. She didn't remember where she had put her phone and she wasn't even sure what time it was. Instead of worrying about it she just settled for finding it when she finished getting ready and she went to her closet to get her stuff out for the day. She had remembered one of the girls saying something about going to beach after the studio so she took out three separate outfits. One was to wear to the studio, the other was her bikini and the last was for once she got out of the water. Once she had all her clothes laid out on her bed she went and got into the shower.
"Fair point" Erik admitted with a little shrug. It made sense that the king of Hollywood high would be protective of his right hand woman. The fact that Erik hadn't figured that out himself annoyed him, but then again -as Stella had pointed out- he was new to this school. So the fact that nobody really knew allot about him also meant that Erik didn't know much about anyone else either. "Kill me? Well, could you tell him that crushing my knees would be preferable. Murder is a little extreme don't you think" He said as a comeback, not a good one mind you, just the best he could think of at the top of his alcohol infected brain.
While Stella and the newly returned Jasmine chatted for a minute Erik downed the last of his beer, put it on the bar where it was quickly picked up by the bartender, and then nodded back to Jasmine as she left. Then Sienna and Ricardo returned to the bar and Erik had to admit that he felt a short stroke of jealousy as he saw how Sienna held Ricardo's hand, but he quickly got over it. According to Stella, and allot of other people he had been talking to throughout the week, Sienna and Ricardo was close friends so a bit of, well, touching was to be expected right?. "Hope so. Sleep tight m'lady" Erik said to Stella as she left, casually slipping an arm around Sienna's waist as he offered he said goodbye to the other girl. Surprisingly Ricardo still seemed to be in a bad mood, and Erik had to admit he looked really funny with that pout on his face. Containing his laughter was hard, but he figured it was best not to further ruin this nights drivers mood so with a bit of struggle he managed to keep it in as he followed the king out to the car with Sienna under his arm. "Well, no man in his right mind would ever turn down an offer that tempting. But I'll have to pass on the studio" Erik answered Sienna as the walked "Can't control myself around buttons" he explained. "The beach however, as I said, no sane man would turn that down and I like to believe I still got some sanity left, so yeah. Count me in" As they reached the car Erik let go of Sienna so he could be the perfect gentleman and hold the door open for her before jumping in after the attractive female. "Could you do me a favor and drop me of at the beach? I really can't come back drunk" Erik asked Ricardo, planning on walking the drunkenness off there, before again wrapping one of his arms around Sienna and pulling her in close. Damn, the alcohol in his system really worked wonders for his confidence.
Honey woke up covered in an unfamiliar warmth. Panic shot through her but instantly subsided when her hair was lightly nuzzled and she smelled the familiar scent of Chadwick. His naked chest was to her back and his long arm was strewn over her torso. She bit her lip as she eased away. She thought she succeeded until his hand gripped her hips and dragged her back against him. She turned as much as she could to see if he was awake, but sure enough he was still passed out. She grinned to herself and wiggled her butt against him eliciting a groan out of him. Then when his hand loosened she slipped out of her bed and headed straight for the kitchen.
It was early so the kitchen was silent, just the way she liked it. She started to lay out her ingredients. Homemade pancakes mix that her neighbor Mary makes and sells, homemade whipped cream (made by her), soft strawberry's in syrup, chocolate chips, bananas, marshmallow fluff, caramel, chocolate syrup, confection sugar, fresh strawberries, an assortment of berries, and any other sweet thing she could find. Coming from a large family, Honey was used to large breakfasts.
She made about seven pancakes when she heard Gino stir over the baby monitor. She turned off the stove and tended to him before bringing him back in the kitchen and placing him in his high chair with a room temperature bottle of baby formula. A little while later a stack of twenty one perfect pancakes on the counter along with her array of toppings. Nicky, a total sugar bandit, was up first. He must have smelled the pancakes because he rushed in murmured a "Hey Sis," kissed her on the cheek and proceeded to making his plate. She rolled her eyes and picked up baby Gino, letting him settle on her hip. Javi, was next but he headed straight for coffee. The girls trailed in after them. Ally was in a jogging outfit but she gave in and had a pancake with the fresh fruit.
She stopped bouncing Gino to wander into her bedroom. Chad had rolled on his back in her absence and she smiled fondly knowing he accommodated her. She climbed on top of him straddling him. "Big Daddy Chaddy," she cooed, "Wake up Chaddy, I made you pancakes." With that she kissed him lightly on the lips and kissed the fresh hickey, that she might've left on purpose since they were going to the beach, she left on his lower torso. In her defense she had a hickey on her chest that she would never be able to cover no matter the bikini, Sly dog. She climbed off of him and headed in the kitchen.
Her siblings all stared at her but Nicky was the first to respond, "Cat you look great", He commented with his lopsided grin. She shook her head knowing girls dropped their panties left and right for that grin. She smirked back at him and he busted out laughing. Then all of her siblings bust out laughing. Even Gino bounced in his bouncer even harder. "Seriously Sis the music industry looks good on you. A little slutty and don't think I want knock whoever's in your bedroom the fuck out, but you look happy. She blew him a kiss before strutting into her bedroom, heading straight to the bathroom and taking a shower. She brushed her teeth and washed her face before putting her wet hair in two french braids that she knew would make perfect curls when they dried after she sprayed it with beach hair spray. She sprayed herself with her pink sugar body spray to complete her morning ritual. When she was done she slipped on her bikini, a strapless number with a little plunge in the front. It gave her a nice swell of cleavage and put the hickey, which was literally right next to her cleavage almost in it, on full display. The bottoms were more modest though they were cheeky because she intended to wear cheeky shorts with it. So the perfect bubbly shaped butt she worked so hard for was on display quite a bit.
After glancing back to make sure Chadwick was sound asleep she slipped on a pair of super high waisted cut off shorts with a cropped frayed sweater and flat sandals. The sweater hung off of her shoulder and dipped lop in the front somehow managing to show off her ample chest even with it's baggy shape. She frowned a bit because Chadwick was at the very least 5 inches taller than her so she'd have to step on her tiptoes to even kiss him. It made her feel inferior but there was no way she was wearing heels to the beach. She added lip gloss but that was all she really added. She had her eyelashes and eyebrows done professionally and she never really wore foundation much in the first place.
One she was done she walked back into her room and shut the door. She crawled across the bed over to Chad."Seriously Chaddy we gotta get ready to go to the studio." She said straddling him. She leaned over and kissed him for good measure.
Upon getting into the vehicle, Ricardo had decided that Erik was simply going to come stay at Shailene's house, casting the guy a rather disturbed expression. Ricardo was an asshole, plain and simple. He had his good moments, sure. However, at the end of the day, he really wasn't all that great. However, he couldn't just let the new guy camp out on the beach because he was drunk and couldn't return home. Especially not with both Sienna and Shailene giving him looks. Call it whatever you want - him being whipped, a punk or what-have-you - he couldn't be that heartless. So, it had been settled and after getting the new guy a room, they all went their separate ways, the girls in Shailene's room and the guys in their own.
When morning filtered in, the only one who wasn't up was Erik. Sienna had considered sneaking into his bedroom, but the look Shailene had given her obviously meant that it wasn't an option. So, she sucked it and hurried to get showered, texting Stella before she got ready for the day. When she stepped out of Shailene's bathroom fully dressed, the model had just gotten off of her phone. Sienna would change once they got to her place. "Still upset you can't come to the studio today," Sienna grumbled playfully but didn't really mean it. Shailene only rolled her eyes sweetly. "I have friend duties and I think you have enough people to fill in for me." She stated calmly and ran her brush through her somewhat tousled hair. The strands were still sleek-looking like before, but due to last night's humidity, very loose waves had formed and after ruffling her hair a good few times Shailene was good for the day with the sexy-but-woke-up-like-this look. Sienna grinned. "What are you gonna do anyway?" Shailene and Sienna had stayed up for an hour longer talking about the current situation of Honey, Chad, Linnaea, and Ricky - which was a big mess, in their eyes. However, Shailene had mulled over what she could do for her ailing friend and decided that Saturday was a great day to have a little fun. Which didn't involve getting drunk or throwing Linnaea on random people. "You'll see." She said simply and Sienna rolled her eyes, sticking her tongue out since Shailene wanted to be all secretive.
Not at all worried about Sienna, Shailene stood, checking out her outfit before deciding that she was pleased with it. It was simple for the day. After last night, she didn't feel the need to show out anymore. Besides, she still looked good and had posted pictures on Instagram while Sienna had been in the bathroom. Shailene had decided to go very natural with make-up, almost to the point that there was none. Her beauty regime required that she didn't tire herself with constant pounds of make-up and she liked the fresh feeling after having done her typical regimen. Sienna had decided upon the same thing, opting for mascara and lip gloss. "You should probably wake up your boyfriend. My plans don't include dealing with your hungover boy toy." Sienna sighed heavily, as if the task burdened her even though that was the last thing on her mind. "Screw you. Just make sure the cooks remember us while you're sipping on your mimosa." Shailene made a face at her friend as she grabbed her Michaek Kors bag and headed downstairs. Once there, she saw Ricky already at one of the less formal dining rooms with a plate of scrumptious looking food.
"Morning, Your Majesty." She said and raked her eyes over Ricky's ever impressive style. He always looked well put together, even on those days when he didn't seem to care. Today seemed like one of the days he did and he seemed in a much lighter mood. "Nice to see my favorite little Brit. Do I get a good morning kiss?" Shailene smirked at him, but walked over anyway just to plant a kiss on his forehead. He gave a pretend show of disappointed to which she only pointed a finger and said, "Behave." She sat in the seat beside him as one of the chefs brought out a cup of piping hot chai tea with a side of a milk and sugar, and her plate.
While her friends were downstairs, Sienna crept into a still sleeping Erik's borrowed bedroom, taking a moment to turn the sound off her phone so she couldn't hear the picture she snapped of him with him being stretched out on the bed. Afterwards, she slid her phone into her back pocket before crawling onto the bed as quietly as she could, cringing slightly when it dipped and he shifted just a bit. However, he either was dead to the world or was really pretending because she managed to crawl up his body until she was straddling his waist and her face loomed over his. "Erik..." She spoke really softly at first, grinning down at the tired face before deciding to pepper his jaw with small kisses which she combated with light nips until she reached his left earlobe. "Come on, you gotta wake up...this could be soooo much better if you were actually awake, you know?" She said and shook him a bit, still peering down at his face.
Meanwhile, Stella was seated at the family island with an omelet in front of her, munching very happily on a piece of strawberry. Despite the healthiness of her food, there was one of her favorite flavors of Arizona tea right in front of her, Mango. She had already put on dance appropriate clothes, partly because she was lazy at the moment and she didn't feel like changing. Her hair was also in a high ponytail. In her bag, she had two bathing suits that she had been mulling over and an outfit for afterwards. [b]"How long are you gonna be out, sweetie?"[/color] Her dad asked while her mom finished cleaning up the kitchen. Stella shrugged. "I don't know, I might stay with Sia or Jas tonight depending on how everything goes." She knew for a fact that they were dancing today; Sienna's choreographer wanted to make sure she was still fit and ready for a performance, which would be any day if she simply decided on a release date. Luckily, Stella had been studying dance a bit more extensively than her friend, so she was always willing to help. However, Sienna wanted to do some acoustic sessions and possibly a cover too, and she wasn't really sure the order of that. Which was why they were going to the little recording studio and dance studio at Sienna's house instead of the actual studio where the girl's manager would be. It would be less drama and a more relaxed vibe. With that thought in mind, she text Jasmine the address in Beverly Hills and checked in on Honey. It was close to ten anyway.
To: Jas
Here's the address. Btw, she's gonna record a cover or two before we start dancing, so if you wanna do something, you're more than welcome.
To: Honey
Srry about last night, love. Did you get things squared out?
Chad didn't like waking up in the morning. Regardless of how much he seemed to be smiling when he went to school or the usual calm aura he apparently exuded on a regular basis, he was not a fan of mornings, especially on the weekend. The first time Honey tried to wake him up consisted of him simply groaning and wanting her wakefulness to just go away. He would have preferred her closeness because warmth had been lost to him in the time that she had parted from him, but the rest could just go away. He heard something about pancakes, which sounded appealing, but the dream he had been having was much more appealing.
However, the second time consisted of her straddling him again and kissing him, which - even he wanted to refuse her advances, he couldn't - he winded up responding to. Afterwards, he pulled away, cupping her face gently with a sleepy smile. "I could wake up to this," he said, his voice taking on a lower register than normal. His free hand swiped over his face before remembering their plans for the day. [color=#408080]"Ugh, I might have to just get someone to drop my stuff at Sia's. I need a shower and to change." He felt a bit self-conscious, considering the fact that he had spent the night with Honey without much of preparation. He should probably brush his teeth, wash his face, shower, and actually be more presentable, especially with her looking as good as she did this early.

He should probably brush his teeth, wash his face, shower, and actually be more presentable, especially with her looking as good as she did this early.
When Chadwick responded to her kissing Honey instantly melted. For someone so calm and occasionally distant Chad's kisses were pretty hot. She had never realized that Chad was so anti-morning. He was always so calm and collected in the mornings that she hadn't noticed. Honey's state of mind usually depended on how good the night was and last night was pretty damn good. Well the end was good at least. "I could have jumped on the bed naked and you still would have rolled over and gone back to sleep." She said leaning into his hand and placing a kiss on his palm.
When he mentioned clothes she smiled softly at him. She knew he didn't like not being put together. She gently leaned her forehead against his and whispered, "I think you look cute as ever. Maybe even more so disheveled like this." She wasn't sure why she whispered it but it felt right. She quickly lost focus when the issue that was bothering her earlier popped in her mind. " Have you ever noticed how much shorter I am than you without my heels on?" She asked looking over at him. "I am a strong independent woman and I have to have my boyfriend help me kiss him." She laughed a little at that because it was funny.
She heard her siblings getting rowdy in the kitchen. Assuming it was Ally and Priss arguing, she knew she would have to break it up. The boys typically never butted into the girls arguments and there was no was lina was getting involved. She climbed off Chadwick and stomped over to her door, throwing it open. She headed in the kitchen and turned to them."Will you keep it down in there? And stop cussing in front of the baby, Jesus!". She figured while she was in here she might as well make him pancakes. She stacked two pancaked on a plate added poured syrup on it then added berries on the side. "I woulda' though richy rich in there would have you preoccupied.". Honey chose to ignore her and simply walked back in her room and shut the door.
When she came back her face was flushed with emberassment. "My family is nuts." She said simply. She placed the pancakes on a little bed table she always had leaning against her nightstand. She really liked breakfast in bed. Her phone buzzed and she extended her arm to her nightstand to grab it. A picture of Honey and Stella laughing popped up in the bubble. She looked at the text and smiled before responding.
To:Stella
No problem babe. Actually things are a-maz-ing we just needed to talk. Where are we meeting up today. Chad mentioned he might have to send some clothes to Sienna's house.

With the text send she lay down on the opposite side of the bed so she wouldn't disturb him while he was eating. Pokemon was on and no matter how old she was, if Pokemon was on it had her full attention. She started to unbraid her hair and it came out to mermaid waves just the way she liked it. When she was finished she turned to Chadwick with a mischievous grin. Stealthily moving the table while leaning over to kiss him. "You could have clothes delivered straight here" She nipped his bottom lip. "Or borrow Javi's clothes. You're about the same size and your style is similar. Plus I have a fantastic shower and extra toothbrushes underneath my sink. We could meet them at the studio and then we'd have more time to watch tv, or sleep, or other stuff..." She bit her lip and looked up at him. She hadn't worn contacts to it was just her natural big brown eyes. She knew she wasn't playing fair. She not only was using her feminine wiles but her doe eyes that she knew he was a sucker for.
