" i am not drunk nearly enough to deal with your fuckin' ass today. " he says flatly as nicky welcomes himself into his space. typically watches how much alcohol he consumes but a buzz sounds pretty nice right now, real soothing to drown out a certain blonde right now. " so whatever it is, the answer is no. you should always assume it's a no by this point. "

" well well, if it ain't my favorite guy. " scottie stuffs her hands in her jacket pockets, tilting her head with a smirk with a gleam in her eyes. " how's this thing treatin' ya? gettin' some good popcorn in or maybe you shakin' down that oreo truck? " yes, she's most definitely trying to deflect away from their little conversation from a couple days before. " or maybe plannin' to get a temp tat? moses might look good on ya. you also look like you could rock a barbed wire heart tat. whaddaya say? wanna hit it up together old pal? "

it's nearly dani's turn at the pool game, she stands with a beer in one hand and pool stick in the other as she recalls mishaps of one of her friends she met, the silliest, most kindhearted goofball she'd ever meet. sometimes she'd wish she could have the best of both worlds with all of her friends together. " so he gets up on the stage, right? completely hammered out of his mind and we're telling him, 'jesse,maybe karoke isn't such a good idea because you're beyond buzzed' so he takes that and starts singing jesse's girl then he stumbles off the stage mid song— mid! he didn't even finish it. so then he stumbles off, vomits all over this group of college girls. well naturally, they got pissed and one of them throws their drink at him, complaining he ruined their dress they bought specifically for that night. because one of them was blonde and wearing a pinkish dress, he's so drunk he just calls her princess peach and asks her how come she hasn't banged mario and, i quote, 'you toooo good for himmm or nah'. that was just one story, mild. maybe one day you'll hear about what happened in reno. " as much as dani was rambling on about her adventures outside of rift valley, it felt completely natural with nicky, picking up seemingly right where they left off before she left after graduation. it was her turn to play and she needed concentration. " now shush. i'm trying to focus on my future win here. "

tyler has a few papers to go through for wilder, some he was even nice enough to tackle on for him when nicky drops something on the table beside him, he blinks, staring at the cup for a good second. " nick. " it's not a question as his eyes land on the steamy cup of java before him, one he didn't ask for but honestly, was a little impressed he even remembered what kind of coffee he did like. especially when tyler didn't drink it often. " what the fuck is this? "
