With the silence coming from Jay-Clarissa was feeling a little on edge. The drinks, seemed to keep her calm to an extent. When he simply got up and left without so much as even glancing her way-she felt a knot in her stomach. Watching him leave with a somber and grave expression, she gripped the glass in her hand a little bit tighter. Not one word to her...not one look, since Skye's outburst. With a soft sigh, she glanced over at Sam who was trying to reassure her. She smirked slightly at his words, with a slight giggle. Sam amused her
"Who said I'd lose?" she smirked at her best friend, watching him leave to see how Jay was coping.
Feeling her phone buzz, she flipped it open and her jaw clenched-her nostrils flaring as she saw the text from her older brother Ray. She growled under her brother.
"That Scumbag! I didn't do anything to Viv..." she hissed at her phone. Gripping her cell a bit tighter in her hand from anger. Just because she had disliked Vivian, didn't mean she plotted revenge against the hippy. Plus, the two were starting to get on a bit better terms before she went missing, of course Ray did not know that. With a trembling hand, she began to text her brother back:
To: Ray
From: Clarissa
'I didn't do anything to her, you idiot! Just because, I didn't like her or get on with her, doesn't make me guilty! She was kidnapped weeks ago, like other demi-gods! So I didn't touch her...nor would I want to.'
Clarissa tossed her phone onto one of the soft chairs, with a growl of annoyance. God...why did she have to have another irritating sibling? Both Skye and Ray pushed her buttons on different levels-the black sheep of the family in other ways than her idiotic twin. After downing her current shot, she asked Amelia for another refill.
"Let me guess, another brother getting on your nerves?" Amelia asked, as she patted Clarissa's back slightly giving her a smile. Amelia just nodded, when she saw Clarissa's silent reply-her eyes seemed enraged. Amelia squeezed her shoulder, the two girls enjoying a few more shots which have seemed to calm down Clarissa's mood once again. Amelia just nodded at Sam's last words before he had left, walking across the Living Room; she started to scan the shelves for some Cd's. Once she found something that would bring up the party mood a notch, she put the CD on, turning it up full volume.
Glancing through the bag of drinks; Amelia pulled out Tequila and Clarissa found some salt and lemon, cutting them into thin nice slices. Cleaning the two current shot glasses, Amelia poured them up a few shots, grabbing a few more glasses so the girls had more shots between them. On the table there were 20 shot glasses, neatly laid out in front of them.
Standing across from each other, the girls each grabbed a glass. Amelia went first, putting a little salt on her hand. Licking off the salt, she downed the shot, before biting into the lemon, sucking out the juices. After Amelia, it was Clarissa's turn; repeating the process. Clarissa made a slight face at the taste of the shot, before sucking out the lemon juices. Alternating between them, they downed the 20 shots with ease; however Amelia was not too keen on the drink, having enough after 8 shots, which left Clarissa winning that round with 11 shots.
Amelia watched Clarissa with slight surprise; the Daughter of Aphrodite sure was feisty when it came to drinks. Noticing her surprise, Clarissa was sucking out juice from one of the left over lemon slices.
"What?" she asked with a smirk-clearly, determined to win this bet. Sure, she may have that much tolerance like Amelia did, but that wasn't going to stop her from seeing the older girl skinny dip and winning. It was true, that Clarissa was starting to feel a little bit drunk, whilst Amelia seemed to be doing well herself; not feeling the effects just yet.
Letting out a laugh, Amelia shook her head smiling
"I think, I just met my match in this drinking game. Usually, it's me vs Sammy." she couldn't help but smile at the memories. The bets, dares and fun of their drinking games. Of course, there was the Epic Ares Lake Party-god, Clarissa didn't turn out so well after her however many drinks she had. So far, the girl was holding up much better. Clarissa let out a slight giggle.
"Mhh, I'll have to show Sammy a thing...or two. she pursed her lips, before a mischievous smile formed on her lips.
Hearing the current
song, she smiled nodding her head to the beat. Humming to herself, loudly. Clarissa walked over to the drinking bag, peeping in and when she saw the bottle of Vodka. She smirked, grabbing the bottle in her hand, in her state forgetting what had happened a few years back at the Ares Lake Party. Seeing Clarissa grab an entire bottle, Amelia laughed slightly.
"You sure, that's a good idea Rissa?" she looked a bit cautious but also surprised at Clarissa's guts to go an entire bottle. Giggling slightly, as she saw the excited look on Clarissa's face.
"On the contrary, it's a fantastic idea." Clarissa smirked, taking a few swings of the hard alcohol. Kicking off her shoes, Clarissa began dancing around the living room, whilst drinking. Clicking her fingers to the beat, she wiggled her butt. Finally letting loose, feeling free as she danced.
Watching Clarissa, Amelia whistled cheering her on.
"Wooooooooo! You go girl!" she laughed and smiled. She couldn't believe the guys were missing this. Soon joining Clarissa on the dance floor-both rocking out to the music, dancing around the room laughing and both enjoying the Vodka, as Amelia on occasions took a few drinks of it aswell...between them the entire bottle was gone in the next 20 minutes.
