As the drinks were taken from her hands, Reyna was sure to save one for herself. While she definitely wasn’t the cheap type, alcohol at clubs was hella expensive. It always made sense to pregame. 

Twisting the top off of the bottle before taking a drink, Reyna looked to Chloe, Ivy and Katie. 

[color=43DDBB]”Is there anyone else we want to invite? Maybe Ava?”[/color] 

Katie eyed the bottles, wondering how acceptable it was to get drunk before five. She ultimately decided that she didn’t care much about how acceptable it was, especially given her earlier conversation with Carter. In fact, getting wasted before the sunset seemed like her best course of action.

[color=980404][b]“Ooooh, definitely let Ava know. She is stuck in a suite with Val after all,”[/b][/color] Katie said, smirking as she picked up one of the glasses on the nightstand and poured a shot of Grey Goose. She tipped back her head and downed the clear liquid, wrinkling her nose as it burned a trail down her throat. She shook her head and poured herself another shot, before screwing on the lid and holding out the bottle. [color=980404][b]“Any takers?”[/b][/color]

Chloe took a moment to blow a kiss at AJ and Aleks as they left the room, with the door shut and locked she turned her attention back to the girls, [b][color=50C878]“Mm I usually like my alcohol sweet like my girls,”[/color][/b] she took the bottle from Katie and twisted the cap off, taking a double straight from the source before passing it on to Ivy, [b][color=50C878]“but I can make exceptions for french vodka. I’m glad you made it Katie, no offense but I definitely had my money on you chickening out, but here you are, hot and ready to fuck up the night with us. Let’s get Ava and get the hell on the road, I can order us a car!”[/color][/b]

Katie grinned at Chloe. [color=980404][b]“Honestly, I’m glad I made it too, if only to see Val singlehandedly end the Tyler family tree. Though we have this girl to thank,”[/b][/color] Katie said, playfully nudging Ivy.

Ivy couldn't help but tense up a bit at Katie's last statement, her smile faltering as she poured herself a shot from the bottle Chloe had passed on to her. It was after the young woman had forced the burning liquid down her throat that she faced the girls head on and shrugged her shoulders. [color=#376569]"Yeah, it was me who gave her the details of the trip."[/color] Ivy admitted, mostly to Reyna, with a sheepish grin. And it was in that moment that she realized how grateful she was for AJ and the rest of the guys leaving the girls to their own devices. [color=#376569]"I mean, of course I did. Katie's our girl. It wouldn't be the same without her here... I just [i]hope[/i] word doesn't get back around to Val and AJ, you know? I don't think they'd be too happy about it. And there's enough drama as it is."[/color]

Reyna shook her head at the blonde, holding one of her mini tequila bottles up ever so slightly in the air like a trophy. [color=43DDBB]”All I need is my one true love. I’m good.”[/color] Sipping as the conversation filled the room, Reyna nearly choked on her drink and Ivy admitted to inviting Katie along. [color=43DDBB]”IVY?! Holy --- giiirrrllll,”[/color] Giving her friend a sly grin, Reyna couldn’t help but to laugh. Of [i]course[/i] it was Ivy. Ivy was the one who usually tried to keep them together. Not as forcefully as AJ, or with as much love as some of the others, but Ivy always had a plan. [color=43DDBB]”My lips are sealed, scouts honor and all that other shit.”[/color] 

[color=980404][b]“If AJ does find out, feel free to tell him I held you at gunpoint until you gave me the details,”[/b][/color] Katie said, grinning as she took a pull from the vodka bottle, ignoring her now empty glass, and sending it back into rotation. She hardly made a face this time, and as the third shot lit a fire in her stomach, she felt good for probably the first time today. Like, maybe, the world wouldn’t come crashing down.

With a half-smile, Ivy shot appreciative looks at both Reyna and Katie and said, [color=#376569]"Let's hope it doesn't get to that point... Now, who's ready to find Ava and get this show on the road? I don't know about y'all, but I can't [i]wait[/i] to explore Vegas."[/color]

[color=43DDBB]”I’m just gonna go snatch her out of the room,”[/color] the Latina said, standing up from the bed as she shrugged her shoulders. [color=43DDBB]”She’s my main hoe. She doesn’t get a choice.”[/color] 

Chloé followed suit standing up and stretching her arms above her head, [color=50C878][b] “Let’s send Ivy in there to grab her, she’s the least hated by Val [i]and[/i] Ava can [i]never[/i] say no when it comes to her.”[/b][/color] Chloé wagged her eyebrows as she linked arms with her sister and started towing her along to the door of the hotel room.

Reyna rolled her eyes as she finished off the last of her tequila. Val could suck her metaphorical dick for all she cared. All Reyna needed was for Ava to agree to come along. Making a pouting face in Ivy’s direction, Reyna was sure to add the puppy dog eyes for a little extra convincing. [color=43DDBB]”Can you please go rescue our Rapunzel?”[/color] 

Katie grinned at Ivy, before sliding off the bed. [color=980404]“Chloe has made some excellent points, and I’m afraid I have to agree. You’re just too damn likable,”[/color] she joked, before turning around and giving her reflection a quick look in the mirror.

Laughing at Katie's last statement, Ivy shrugged her shoulders and let Chloe drag her along to the door. [color=#376569]"[i]Okay[/i], fine. I guess I'll be the one to go get Ava... hopefully they haven't all killed each other in there."[/color] And without wasting another moment, the young woman pulled open the door and led the way to the elevator, where they'd then ride to the floor right below them, and walk down until they came to a stop at the front door of the Grand Lakeview Suite. Ivy unlinked her arm with Chloe's just before rapping her knuckles three times against the door, hoping that it would be Ava who'd answer. [color=#376569]"Avaaa,"[/color] Ivy called in a sing-song manner, slightly raising her voice so she could hear. [color=#376569]"Come on, let's go!"[/color]

[color=9966cc]“About fucking time!”[/color] 

Ava’s voice rang high, nearly seconds after Ivy opened the door. She came out from the bathroom, sporting [url=https://i.imgur.com/uBk9DdO.jpg]a striped white midriff top and black shorts[/url]. Her hand was clutched tightly to her phone, a faint sight of the group chat with her and the girls in it and her purse dangling on the opposing shoulder. The room was kind of dull in activity, the looping echoes of music still playing from when she and Emilia danced for a song and a half. 

[color=9966cc]“Any excuse to get the fuck out of this place is one I’ll gladly take.”[/color] Her laugh carried her out the door.

Chloe gave a short enthusiastic whoop as Ava finally made her appearance and held her hand out for a solid high five before dancing down the hallway back to the elevator, [b][color=50C878] “Great to have you on board, now it’s time to [abbr=shop ‘til you drop]jeter l’argent par les fenêtres[/abbr]![/color][/b]
