[Like...People] It's My Birthday?

[AMBER ROSE KINGSTON]

Amber pouted when Asher said he was all packed. He was leaving. She sighed but then quickly smiled when two people approached them. Amber looked between Asher and the blonde in front of them as they talked about film and production and what not. “Hi,” she said with a smile as Asher introduced them. When they were gone, Amber wrapped her arms around Asher. “Don’t leave me..” she looked up at him and pouted again. She placed her head on Asher’s chest and just closed her eyes. “How long this time?”

[DYLAN DAVID PARKER]

Dylan laughed when Bobbie had responded so positively to beer pong, making a bracket and everything. She was serious about this. “Wait, what?! You don’t even want to be on my team?” Dylan scoffed, “That’s just fine, I already have a partner,” he laughed. Dylan had already drank his drink he’d made, and he made strong drinks. There was a point when a little buzz upped your game and then you crossed that line and you might as well just knock all your cups over in forfeit. Dylan smiled at Rosie when she mentioned not making any stupid bets, “Are you kidding? If I was betting on anyone it’d be her. Bobbie won’t be the only one making cash tonight,” he joked, though not really joking at all. Rosie had slapped him on the butt before walking away, leaving him smiling. At this rate Dylan wondered if he was going to have to start thinking about if it was going somewhere other than the bedroom, because he really did like her. But with him going on tour in a couple of months, he knew he was going to have to make time to talk about it with her. He didn’t know if he wanted that, or if she did really. But he also wasn’t one just leave things unattended. Dylan did what Dylan wanted. And if he had something to say, he usually said it. Sometime later Dylan had already lost to Bobbie, but wasn’t that mad about it because as he came back with another drink he had already made bets with some other dudes. Derek could be seen around the party getting shots from the inside, standing on tables, always surrounded by some group of partiers, or Georgia coming by to get in the camera. Chicks loved the camera. After Derek had come back and was asking what was going on Dylan told him, “Your girlfriend is a beer pong fiend and I bet a lot on her.”

[DEREK EDWARD PARKER]

Derek spent some time with the camera, standing on tables and ended up drinking a hell of a lot more than he planned before returning the camera to the crew and then returned himself to where Bobbie was intensely kicking ass at the beer pong table. Derek nodded seriously at Dylan, “I see that.” Dylan glanced at him and told him he looked blasted, to which Derek replied, “You know, I feel a little blasted? We should shotgun some beers when Bobbie is done.” He knew she was focused on the game. Dylan had told him he tried to get Bobbie drunk while he was gone and then give her back but she was so into the tourney it was kind of adorable. Derek went and stood by her and could tell it was no use, she wasn’t about to be distracted.

[MARGARITA JOSEPHINE RIVERA]

Georgia smiled as Cole came towards her, calling her love and wrapping his arm around her. “ Look.. our countries hate each other and yet you still call me love,” she said, patting her hand on his cheek. “ You have like.. a super old dead grandma somewhere rolling in her grave. And my ancestor is probably… high..on like..peyote…” she said, deciding to stop talking when she felt his lips against the side of her neck. Georgia bit the side of her lip to stop herself from smiling too much. “ I am..” she said with a nod. “ But babe. It’s so much fun.. just think about it….. wasted. And then.. you can dance really awesome. Watch.” she said before taking a step back and trying her best dance move. “ Yeah, see…nailed it. AND… you’re super hungry enough later to eat a whole meal from Taco Bell..And I don’t even care that I am racially profiling myself. I need a taco dude….” she said with earnest. “ Do you crave like… crumpets or… wanna watch Harry Potter? No see. That doesn’t count. Everyone loves Harry Potter….Look, the point is. I’m like that tiny little Chihuahua trying to drink up tequila like… something super big. But I’m just little” she said with a shake of her head. Georgia wiggled her eyebrows before spotted Derek with the camera, giving him before she tried to fulfill part of her dancing duties for the camera.

[RYLAN NOAH LION]

Rylan brought his finger to the ring on his other hand, twirling it around as Melanie took a few drinks from the Jack Daniels that she had brought for them, already having placed the picture she took of him in his inside jacket pocket. “ Well.. I was born with it,” he said sarcastically when she said he looked nice too. But the little girl in front of him was spouting off at him, causing him to lift his eyebrows as she asked if he was ever going to get over Georgia and give someone else a chance. He let a few moments of silence pass between them before he brought his hand up to the side of his jaw, scratching it lazily before he let a slow smile spread across his lips. “ So you’re into me?” he asked, looking her back in the eye. Rylan straightened up moving towards her, saying quietly, “ It might’ve been easier just to say so,”. Rylan reached his hand up, pushing some of her hair out of her face as he leaned down close to her, and when their lips were about to touch he narrowed his eyebrows and stood up straight. “ An arrogant asshole, really?” he said, moving his hand from her hair and to the wall behind her. “ I’ve heard charming, handsome, rugged,…intelligent. Never arrogant or an asshole…” he said, tapping his thumb against the wall.

[JOEL CARTER BROOKS]

Joel kept his hand gripped into the back of her hair as she continued to kiss him, resting his other hand on her lower back so that his fingertips were against her skin, pushing past the annoying fabric of her shirt. “ Tonight?” he questioned. His schedule had escaped him so much lately that he wasn’t sure who all he had told his schedule too. But it made sense if he had told her that he had to leave a little after three in the morning. “ Yeah I think we can make that work,” he said before giving her another quick kiss. “ Might want to find my sister before she sends a search party out for you. I can meet up with you later..” he said, giving her another kiss before he took a step back and lift his hands away from her body. If anything, it was time to drink. He only had a few hours left at home and he didn’t want to waste it – though Asher looked like he would be perfectly happy to be home and in bed. You were only young once, might as well live it up. Joel had made his way over to where the Parker’s were, thinking he’d seen Derek come in. “ What the hell is going on man?” he asked, standing beside Derek as he crossed his arms one another and watched Bobbie playing against a team of two people. Apparently she had decided to her own team.

[CHARLOTTE JADE HODGINS]

Charlie knew that Blaze was saying something about scotch but she wasn’t really listening to exactly what he was saying. She made a slight face, narrowing her eyebrows as she tilt her neck when he kissed it. But when he pulled away, she cleared her throat and pushed her hair behind her ear. “ Yeah… yeah we can do that. But .. I just..” she said, giving a small sigh. “ I mean everyone knows how you are… and I’m your friends sister.. and it just seems sort of… “ she said, trailing off while she shook her head. “ Why?” she questioned as she looked back at him. “ I mean why waste your time on one girl who could ruin a friendship for you, when you already have a roster of other people?” she questioned as she held onto the cup of scotch.

[ASHER SCOTT KINGSTON]

Asher watched as the kid walked away with his girlfriend and the video camera before looking back down at Amber. He dropped his head so that his forehead was against her. He winced, closing one eye and preparing himself for her to hit him as he answered, “ Two months,” he said, scrunching his nose and waiting for a hit. “ I’ll be able to come home some weekends. So it won’t be the entire time, I promise.” he said, taking in a deep breath. “Besides, I think Joel is scared of you,” he said as he smiled softly. “ But trust me, I don’t want to go,” he said, tracing his thumb against her lower back before he placed a kiss against her forehead.

[PATRICK JARROD BROWN]

“ That is.. a panty dropper,” he said with a nod, “ Or I could rename it One Direction. Same effect,” he said while laughing quietly under his breath. “ I can make you something else later if you like,” he placed one of his hands in his front pocket, taking a drink from his own cup. Would he save her a dance? Honestly when most girls met him they just screamed at him. Or if you were Blake, you literally…screamed at him. But, she seemed pretty confident in herself. At least, she seemed more confident in herself from the last time he saw her. “ Ah.. you know what,” he said, looking around. “ I’ll save more than one for you. But I’ll let you in on a secret. Not a single one of me or my mates knows how to accurately dance,” he said, giving a small nod. “ Have you seen the best song ever video? Horrible. Terrible. I heard they are showing it as a form of punishment now at Guatanamo. We’re on right after Mariah Carey is played for ten hours,”

[DECLAN JAMES HODGINS]

“ Obviously you didn’t miss me as much as Blaze because he’s the only one that sent me tear soaked letters,” he joked. “ Oh wow,” he said, squaring his shoulders as she decided to rant into him as well. “ Yikes,” he said quietly, making a slight scared face. “ You gonna spank me and put me in time out too?” he asked, watching her for a few moments before smiling. “ No I uh.. I did kind of disappear on you guys. I’m sorry. It won’t happen again,” he said, before making a slight face and tilting his head to the side. “ What exactly could you have done to upset me that much that I would’ve just dropped communication with you? What kind of assholes have you dated?” he asked before giving a quiet laugh.

[ROSELYN RAE DAVIS]

Rosie had wondered off to find herself a drink while they set up the beer pong tournament. Because she pretty much had calculated that she would be of no help to Dylan whatsoever. Nope. Because as she made a practice shot in the kitchen, she ended up hitting someone across the room, instead of hitting the counter she was aiming for. “ So close,” she said with a frown before mixing herself a drink. “ Are you gonna mix anything with that Malibu?” someone asked. “ With this economy?!” Rosie asked, throwing her hand to the side as she left the kitchen with her cup. But let’s just take a moment to pause and evaluate the fact that Rosie felt like all of her nerves were on fire, on edge of just exploding. She came up behind Dylan, placing a kiss on the side of his neck as she wrapped her hand around the front of his body. She rest her chin on his shoulder as she tapped her thumb against the waistband of his jeans. Giving a small sigh she backed away, coming to his side where she leaned into his body, “ Wanna make a bet on something else tonight?” she said , wiggling her eyebrows at him as she smiled.

[BOBBIE JACQUELINE BRYAN]

Bobbie tightened her hair that was in a high ponytail as she tried to silence everyone out, making her shot after letting out a deep breath. When the pong ball went into the cup she stood up straight, not even putting her hands in the air to celebrate. She could celebrate when the tournament was over, if she got cocky she’d probably lose. She turned her head side to side to let her neck crack. She’d had to take a few drinks here and there to make up for the fact that she kicked out her partner since he was more of a waste of space than anything. But that was alright, it also meant she could focus more clearly since she wasn’t having to worry about someone else’s weakness. And at this point she was already calling shots on people and they were getting to set up their own patterns for the cups. After she beat the person that she was currently playing, her shoulders relaxed slightly. She picked up one of the cups, stepping away from the table and took a sip of her beer as she made her way over to Derek. “ Are you playing?” she asked before a smile, “ Cause uh.. I’m pretty sure I would have to kick your ass,”

[DEREK EDWARD PARKER]

As Derek watched Bobbie, he turned and saw Joel had come over, grinning, ”Ah hey man, what’s good? Uh… Bobbie is kicking everyone’s ass at beer pong, which I must say I feel like I have bragging rights about it,” he joked. ”How about you, how are things going? Saw you with that model chick,” he laughed, shaking his head. ”But you’re heading out on tour right?” Derek shook his head when Bobbie came over and asked if he was going to play, “I… am incapable of playing beer pong right now,” he laughed a little, “One too many jaeger bombs,” he looked at her apologetically and then smiled, leaning down closer to her, “I’ll tell you what though, how about I give you twenty bucks and you can tell everyone you beat me, since I’m pretty sure you would.” Derek fished a twenty dollar bill out of his wallet and handed it to her, “On one condition, you owe me a dance after you win the tournament. And a taco 12 pack.” Yeah, he was really drunk, he was talking about tacos. And thinking about spring break. And stuff people did on spring break, stuff they might do on spring break…

[BOBBIE JACQUELINE BRYAN]

Bobbie took a drink of her beer as Derek told her he would give her money and she could say she beat him. She lowered the cup from her lips before giving him a quick kiss. “ Sure, but you have to put the money away,” she said, lifting her hands up to the side away from her body. “ And counter proposal. I’ll give you a dance here. You owe me a more personal one at the after-after party,” Bobbie smiled before looking over at Joel and going from sultry to bubbly in about two seconds. “ Hey Joel! Wanna play beer pong?” she asked happily. “ No, but here’s twenty,” he said, going like he was going to put it in her jeans as well before she snatched it out of his hand. Bobbie shook her head at Joel as she made her way back to the beer pong table.

[JOEL CARTER BROOKS]

Joel looked over his shoulder in the direction of Maddie when Derek had referred to her before he looked back at the beer pong tournament. Yeah, his life wasn’t half bad. At least there weren’t any broken hearts that he knew of. He licked his lips after Bobbie had walked away from them and made her way back over to the beer pong station set up they had. ‘Bragging rights?’ he questioned with a hint of a smile. “ When did you guys become official official?” he asked, looking over at him. “ I mean unless you aren’t, then maybe I can try giving her a fifty and see where that gets me,” he said sarcastically before taking a sip of his drink. “ But no seriously, that’s great, congrats man,” he said, looking over in Dylan’s direction before he looked at Derek. “ If hormones fueled the world I think you and your brother could have Earth be energy sufficient for a decade. Poor Blake though. She’s the one wanting love, and here you two are.. with it in the palm of your hand,”
