She looked over at an unsurprised Gigi, though she looked slightly concerned. Alyssa seemed to agree, getting close to Gigi and muttering, "[color=orange]I think we're going to need another ride home.[/color]" especially when the pair seemed to get so into each other that Marcus had to remind them that they were in public. Letting out a sigh, the dark haired girl dug something out of her pocket, showing it to the other two: Helene's car keys. "[color=orangered]She gave them to me before we went inside,[/color]" She explained as she pocketed them. "[color=orangered]The gesture and this game say enough. She has no intention of going home--not alone, anyway.[/color]" "[color=pink]She did?[/color]" Eva's voice nearly drowned as the crowd erupted around them, the implications slowly dawning on her. "[color=pink]So then...[/color]" "[color=orange]So one of us better remember to sober up to drive home,[/color]" Alyssa said, slightly exasperated. "[color=orange]She probably planned this all out...clever girl, can't even get mad 'cause I'm impressed she thought this far ahead.[/color]" Eva was surprised the two were so cooperative, though as Gigi and Alyssa didn't say anything else, she figured it was fine. Though she could've sworn she heard Alyssa mumbling something about 'better be protected', she didn't get a chance to ask as the next round had begun. And then the next, and the next, and her cup was finished before she knew it. It was a secret relief to know she didn't have to kiss anyone, though she did find it comical when Helene and Alyssa kept wanting to get matched with Gigi, much to her chagrin. The game itself was still fun, though she had to admit seeing Gigi so on edge was pretty funny. Everyone was having a good time, and as she looked at Helene, she definitely noticed how enamored she was with Terrance, at one point getting very close and whispering something into his ear. Looking around, Eva was a little disappointed Arthur hadn't turned up, but she was distracted by Alexander giving her another drink. She couldn't stop thinking of Arthur the more she drank, though she still wasn't sure what to do. If he was going to go lose his lunch every time he saw her, what was she going to do? Her eyes landed on Helene, and she remembered what she said earlier: '[color=lightsalmon]But by the end of the night, I expect [i]you[/i] to have put the moves on Arthur, you hear me?[/color]' And why shouldn't she? At least, she could try to get an answer out of him. If he wanted nothing to do with her, then fine, she'd leave him be. But if it was the opposite, if she even had the slightest chance, then maybe-- The crowd cheered from behind her, making her jump slightly. Shoot, she was overthinking again. As she looked back, she was surprised to see Ricardo strolling in. From what she saw earlier, he didn't seem to get along too well with the guys, so why was he here? None of them said anything, so it was probably okay, but the way Terrance and Jacob sudenly came to full attention bothered her a little bit. Helene crossed her arms, though said nothing as she watched him walk over. Gigi's cup was to her lips, but she hadn't drank, her eyes on Ricardo instead. They narrowed as he chose to sit next to Eva, and she ended up putting her cup down outright. As he gave Eva a wink, she smiled back, though wasn't sure what to say to him. Alyssa was slightly oblivious, greeting him as Marcus did, though she seemed eager to continue the game. "[color=orange]Marcus, are you going to let me change Gigi's mind on who's the better kisser between me and Helene or not?[/color]" She whined as once again there were no matches. Helene scoffed. "[color=lightsalmon]Oh [i]please[/i], Aly, just cut Gigi out and admit you want to make out with me,[/color]" She teased, wiggling her eyebrows at her, to which Alyssa ended up bursting into laughter. Gigi ignored them, leaning towards Eva and prodding her elbow lightly. "[color=orangered]Switch seats with me,[/color]" She told her quietly. Eva looked at her confused, and she leaned in, signaling that she hadn't heard Gigi properly. At that point, however, the matches were made, so Eva ended up taking a sip instead. Before Marcus would deal out the next hand, she looked at Gigi to ask her what she had said, but it looked like Ricardo had pulled her closer to him. For just a moment, she was face to face with him, though she had no idea why. Had they matched and she didn't notice? But there was this look in his eyes that she didn't like. Of course, her senses were greatly inhibited by the alcohol, and the next thing she knew, he was kissing her. The crowd roared again, and Eva froze in shock. It was always a possibility of the game, but she wasn't ready for this. Of course, shortly afterwards he backed off, or rather, was ripped away from her, and chaos erupted. Arthur had appeared, having been the one that had taken Ricardo off of Eva, but apparently that hadn't been enough, as he slugged him. Eva's hands flew over her mouth, though she let out a slight yelp of surprise as she was pulled back and away from the commotion as Arthur went in on Ricardo, outright stomping on him. She could hear Gigi saying something, but she felt paralyzed, and let Gigi drag here from them. Turning her around, she shook her shoulders slightly, and suddenly everything seemed to hit her. Gigi watched the boys for a moment, though she passed Eva to Alyssa and gave chase, the dark haired girl pushing her way to the front to see Ricardo drive away. "[color=orangered]Of course,[/color]" Gigi scoffed, clearly annoyed. "[color=orangered]And now...[/color]" "[color=orange]Hey! Eva! Are you okay?[/color]" Alyssa asked her. She didn't know what to make of the situation, although to ease Alyssa, she nodded. "[color=pink]Y-Yeah...[/color]" Crap, she couldn't hide the shakiness in her voice. "[color=orangered]I'm calling it, then,[/color]" Gig said as she rejoined them, shaking her head. "[color=orangered]You're not okay.[/color]" "[color=pink]No, wait,[/color]" Eva said, shaking her head. "[color=pink]He's gone now, it's fine.[/color]" Helene was ranting so fast and in a language Eva didn't know she spoke that she had no idea what she was saying until she landed on an English word she definitely understood: "[color=lightsalmon][i]Idiot[/i]! What the hell was he hoping to accomplish with that little stunt?![/color]" She fumed. Taking in a deep breath, she shook her head at them. "[color=pink]Relax. Can't let one person ruin the night, right?[/color]" Eva said, throwing on a smile to reassure them. "[color=pink]I don't want to go yet.[/color]" Gigi sighed, procuring a pack of cigarettes from her pocket. "[color=orangered]Fine. I need some air,[/color]" She grumbled, popping one into her mouth as she decided to look for a light. "[color=pink]I'll be right back,[/color]" Eva told the pair, breaking away from them. Looking around, she wandered down the hallways, trying to see where Arthur had went. She didn't know why, but her gut told her she needed to find him. She didn't bother asking anyone where he was, choosing to look for him on her own. Finally, she spotted him walking somewhere, and she chose to follow him. She lingered at the kitchen's entrance, watching him down a drink. He still seemed pretty mad, and for a second she hesitated. But her mouth made the decision for her, as she called out to him. "[color=pink]Are you okay?[/color]" She asked him cautiously. [center][img]https://i1.wp.com/wordmewrite.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/flowerDivider.png[/img][/center]
