Re: Greenwich - Danny's Friend's House

[Guest]

"Not really too much, I've been here and there but haven't really seen too much of the place." James said walking into the party scanning the surroundings, the kid throwing this clearly had the money.

***

Lola shot Seth a dirty look, "You need to be put to sleep."

"Yeah I would love to be buzzed, but you're too busy being a dad, and what do you mean you saw "heaven?" Jake asked curiously.

***

"Hey hon, I've missed you." Ashlee said laying it on a little thick, but the girl sounded like she needed all the hints in the world that Connor wasn't interested, "Thanks for finding him for me." Ashlee smiled, giving Connor a small kiss on the cheek.

[Tiger-Lily]

The Pomeranian girl rolled her eyes and then flounced away with a sniff.

***

Seth smirked and shook his head as he set the glass down. He glanced around and then hesitated. "Um, that's just it. Red would kill me if I told you."

***

Oriana waved at a few boys as they passed them on her way to teh dance floor. She glanced at James over her shoulder. "Can you dance, handsome?"

***

Evelyn headed out to the dance floor just as a faster track came on. She had let go of Alexis' hand and was now being escorted by the black haired guy. She leaned over to him, not having to stretch because of her added height and asked in his ear, "What's your name anyway? And is that hair real?"

[JulietsCurse]

Connor let out a breath of relief and looked a little blushed from her kiss.... oooor the alcohol. "Thanks, Ashlee."He smiled at her, putting his arm down now.

***

Alexis was escorted just a little bit away from Evelyn, though she didn't like that. She let herself start to relax and just dance.

"John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. And yeah, real as can be." He chuckled, leaning in closer so she could hear. "And your name..?"

[Guest]

James smirked, "Of course I can dance, the question is if you can keep up with me babe." He said leading her to the dance floor.

***

Jake thought for a moment, and remembered his weird text from earlier, "Oh yeah... you mentioned something about that? Just tell me its not like she's here."

*****

"No problem." Ashlee said standing to face him, instead of to his side, "So are you enjoying your--" She looked past her shoulder and spotted Danny, who had obviously spotted her and she cursed herself mentally.

"Shit." She swore under her breath, she looked up at Connor, "Hey um return the favor?" She asked quickly widening her blue-green eyes up at Connor.

Danny arrived to the two of them, "Hey Ash where have you been, I've been looking for you?" He asked looking from Ashlee to Connor, back to Ashlee, "Who is this?"

[Tiger-Lily]

Say what now?

Evelyn silently mouthed his name. "Yeah, that's definitely a real name if I've heard one," she remarked bluntly, smiling the whole time. "Did your parents break up over choosing one name?"

***

Seth sniggered. "Dude, those girls are insane. You should have seen those long legs. I have no words to describe to you - " his phone rang. He glanced down at it as it buzzed in his hand. "Hang on."

He headed away from Jake and answered. "'Sup, Ash? Where are you guys?"

***

Oriana grinned and slid her arms around James' neck, swaying to the fast song playing. She tilted her head back and then raised an eyebrow in acknowledgment at a guy she'd seen last week over James' shoulder. "I hate rap songs," she yelled in his ear over the loud bass.

[JulietsCurse]

"Actually- my parents did separate but not over my name. But really, it's John." John replied, keeping a kind tone to his voice.

***

"Um.." Connor glanced between them before running his tongue over his mouth and reached forward, whispering in her ear. "Act as drunk or something as possible." He said, wrapping one arm around her waist.

[Guest]

James had his arms wrapped around Oriana's slim waist and he yelled in her ear,"We're dancing, its just music."

***

Drunk?! I get to be the girlfriend, and scare off Dog Girl, and I have to be the drunken hoe?!

Ashlee figured it wouldn't be too hard, she was wearing high heels she started staggering around a bit, and clinging onto him she looked up at Danny, squinting, "Heeyyy its you, Manny, right? This is my friend, Connie." She said patting Connor on the back extra hard, she threw in an obnoxious cackle on top of that.

Danny raised an eyebrow at her wondering just how much Ashlee had to drink, in the time they were separated, she danced poorly, waving Connor's arm in the air, "Wheeee...."

He cringed, he didn't really do the whole drunk girl thing, "Um yeah, listen it was nice hanging out with you Ashlee, I have to go see some friends. Have fun." He said turning around to leave.

"Bye Fanny!" She shouted loudly, waving goodbye, his eyes widened in horror as a few people turned to stare at him and back at Ashlee who was giggling, he quickly turned the corner disappearing.

[Tiger-Lily]

Evelyn winced. Oh shit. Way to put your foot in your mouth. She shook her head. "Aw, I'm so sorreh! Don't mind me, mon cherie, I'm too buzzed, I feel." She let go of his arm and glanced around at Alexis to ensure she was okay before catwalking (it was the only way she couldn't trip in her heels) to the dance floor.

"Lexie?" she called, grabbing Alexis' hand as she passed her and dragging her away from her partner. Evelyn reached the coffee table that had been pushed to one side and stepped languidly onto it, dragging Alexis with her. She threw up her hands and began to sway to the beat of the song, slim body moving suggestively more than anything else. "Let's rock this floor, girlfriend!"

Some guys in the crowd whistled and one of them leapt up next to the girls. Evelyn reached down and seized John/Jake/Whoever's hand, batting a fake eyelash. "Come on up?" The table was square and large, and she hoped it didn't break.

***

Oriana nodded and then the song changed again, some beat by Lady Gaga and some other guy. Beautiful Monster, she recognized it as. She grinned and let go of James, stepping back to dance separately.

"All my life
And the hereafter
(I've never seen one like that before)
I've never seen
Seen one like you
You're a knife
(You little monster)
Sharp and deadly
(Don't call me Gaga)
And it's me
That you cut into
(You amaze me)
But I don't mind
In fact I like it
(Don't look at me like that)
Though I'm terrified
I'm turned on but scared of you. "

[JulietsCurse]

"Ah- geez." Alexis mumbled but closed her eyes and started to dance, like she would with anything else that involved music.

John grinned and got on the table by her before going back to dancing with her.

***

Connor busted out laughing, watching after the poor guy. "Sorry- it was the first thing I came up with and it went well with the whole.. party situation." He smirked.

[Guest]

"Uh huh right." Ashlee said raising an eyebrow in disbelief, "Well you can find yourself another drunken hoe, because Ashlee Marie Brooks is not yours." She said walking away from Connor. She pretty much was about to stick him right there with Fanny. What was it with all the guys tonight? Was there something in the water?


She sighed spotting two masked girls dancing on a table with another guy, she shrugged figuring that people in the city must do weird stuff like this all the time so she decided to join in.

Ashlee approached the table, and looked up at one of the masked girls, "Mind if I join?" She grinned.

***

Jake watched Lola go off to talk to a friend of her's and he decided to go mingle himself, he halted in front of a table, and saw two masked leggy girls dancing on the table, he whistled loudly, "Whoo take it off!" He said jokingly tossing a couple singles onto the table as the two girls danced.

***

James paused as the lyrics of the song blared over the speakers, he watched Oriana dance but all he could think about was Evelyn again, and he felt his mood plummet.

She is a monster
A beautiful monster...

He pulled his blue eyes away from Oriana's dancing form, and he felt like he needed to leave, at least until the song was over or something. It just effected him too much and it shouldn't have.

James pulled Oriana into him and yelled into her ear, "I'll be right back, I uh need to get some air." He walked away from her before she could answer leaving her on the dance floor as he tried to find an exit, in his search for one though he found something more interesting.

Two girls on a table dancing, with another guy and a raven haired girl appearing that she wanted join. The two girls swayed to the beat of the song both dancing suggestively, and their outfits made up of leather and lace and they were practically naked.

He watched for a bit amused as some of the guys around him whooped and shouted, or cat called and a few of them even threw money on the table as the girls danced.

[Tiger-Lily]

Evelyn felt something hit her feet and glanced down, grin widening as she realized what it was. She looked up, green eyes catching brown ones through her mask and swallowed.

Jake was here? Why? What the....She trailed off and glanced down at Ashlee, suddenly glad she had a mask on. "Careful though. It might break." Then she turned and shoved one of the guys off the table to make room for Ashlee.

Then she lifted her gaze to where Jake had been standing and, pirouetting gracefully, flipped him off because she couldn't resist. Her cross ring flashed in the light.

***

Seth found Jake in the crowd and stifled a laugh. He knew exactly who was behind those masks. He nudged his friend and yelled in his ear, "Having fun?"

[Guest]

Ashlee climbed onto the table she looked between the two tall girls and realized that it had been Evelyn and Alexis, she had been thrown off by their masks but she had remembered their outfits, she just giggled and started dancing with them following their little routine they had going, flowing in sync with them and the beat.

***

Jake grinned and looked at Seth, "Ha yeah! Dude these chicks are hot, although I wish they'd take off those masks, although its kind of sexy too." He said watching them, and watched as one of them flipped him off.

He pointed to the masked girl who did and nudged Seth, "She's a feisty one."

***

James watched almost mesmerized, he found himself snickering as the brunette masked girl twirled and flipped off a brunette dude who had shouted something, he kind of looked like Jake, but the lighting in the place was so dim he really couldn't tell. He approached the table a bit more, shoving past a few horny guys, to get a better look at the two mysterious dancers.

Especially the one with the ring that had flicked off the idiot, she swayed and moved gracefully to the beat of the song blaring in the speakers, he was drawn to her and forgot about the other two girls dancing with her, his dark blue eyes focused in on her green ones.

Her eyes... they look like... No its not her, she would never do this

The song penetrating his thoughts...

Playing with my heart
And she's playing with my mind
And I don't mind I don't I don't mind...

[Tiger-Lily]

Seth wanted to laugh. So fucking badly. Jake didn't know he'd just complimented his nightmarish siren.

I love being in the know. He smirked to himself. "Yeah, they're pretty hot. But way out of your league."

Evelyn realized Jake and Seth were probably talking about her and Alexis. Seth didn't tell then. Thank God. She saw Jake point at her after she flipped him off - he looked pleased? What the hell was this kid on?

She was tempted to fling a coin into his face but she simply lowered her hands, running them down her sides and fixed her attention elsewhere. She leaned over to Ashlee. "Welcome to the whorehouse, girlfriend."

[Guest]

Jake snorted, "Yeah right, they're dancing on a table." Jake placed his fingers in his mouth whistling loudly.


Ashlee giggled, "I'd like to thank the Academy..." She said dancing with Evelyn and sticking her tongue out at her.

[Tiger-Lily]

Evelyn glanced over at Jake again. He'd die if he knew who he was whistling at. She snickered and raised both hands, flipping him off again. A few guys in the audience made "ooooh" noises.

Seth nudged Jake. "Trust me, you do not want to do that. It'll kick you in the ass later. WAY out of your league, that one."

[Guest]

Jake grinned devilishly, he cupped his hands over his mouth to amplify his voice over the music, "Flick me off all you want chicka but you're giving me more attention then the rest of them."


James smirked as the girl flipped off that whistling brunette, most girls at least the slutty ones who danced on the tables were too far drunk off their asses to even flip off the guys, or they usually fell into said creeps arms. This one clearly knew what she was doing and it really was amusing to him.

[Tiger-Lily]

Evelyn groaned to herself. Jake had no idea what he was doing. He'd be dying if she tore off her mask. But she kept it on and decided to ignore him.

Seth was talking to him, she saw, and he was clearly trying to help Jake out. But Jake wasn't listening. She grinned and looked up at the increasing attention they were getting. Alexis seemed to be enjoying herself. After this was over, they were going to be rich -

What was this damn song? She couldn't dance quite right to it. It jarred her. She wished they'd change it.

"He licked his lips,
Said to me-uh,
Girl you look good enough to eat.
Put his arms around me-uh.
Said, boy, now get your balls right off o' me-uh."

She turned back to Alexis to ensure she was all right and in that second, caught a flash of brilliant blue eyes nearby. He was maybe five feet away, less, in fact. Evelyn's whole body iced and she missed her footing.

No, he can't be here, no, not when I'm like this. Oh hell no - Jake wasn't a problem any longer. She had a bigger disaster awaiting.

The edge of the table vanished and she swayed, alarmed, and then felt herself tip forwards, landing on her knees on the wooden floor with a pained yelp as her stupid six-inch heel twisted her ankle. The same ankle Jake had twisted barely two days ago. Evelyn bit her tongue hard and lowered her head as her eyes began to water in pain.

[Guest]

Jake watched as the girl fell off the table onto the floor, he winced that had to have hurt, "That's going to bruise in the morning." He nudged Seth.

James watched the sassy mystery girl fall off the table, clearly hurting herself in the process, he went to her side and got down to her prone figure, "Hey are you okay?" He asked her.

[Tiger-Lily]

Seth bit his lip. "Yeah. I'm gonna go see if she's okay." He shoved through the crowd away from Jake to where he'd seen Evelyn fall.

And realized James was crouched beside her. Oh fuck. This is bad. And he definitely doesn't know it's her.

Evelyn was now holding her ankle as the girls beside her jumped off the table. "It's fine, I'm okay," she kept saying over the music to all the male admirers trying to play hero. Seth had to laugh. God, these girls were devilish, both of them.

Evelyn, meanwhile, was trying very hard to not look James in the eye. Her cheeks reddened tell-tale and she kept her eyes focused on her leg, curling it under her and suddenly wishing she had on a longer skirt. "I'm all right," she said shortly and then reached up to grab Ashlee's hand. "Help me up?" Hopefully James wouldn't be able to make out her voice...

[Guest]

Ashlee had rushed to her side, to try and help her up, she slung Evelyn's arm around her shoulder and tried to lift her slowly.

James rolled his eyes at the other guys crowding around, "Hey get lost she's been hurt, shows over." James watched as the tiny raven haired girl tried to help her up.

James sighed, "Here let me help you there..." He met the eyes of the raven haired girl, "Ashlee?"

Ashlee's eyes widened and she grinned sheepishly, "Hey James, how you doin?" She asked nonchalantly.

James shook his head, and wondered why Ashlee was helping a random girl unless...

It couldn't be...could it? There is no way that's Ev! She would never do something like that.

"Ash who is this?" He asked as Ashlee supported the girl.

Ashlee gulped, "Um I don't know who she is, I'm just trying to help. God I can't be nice?" She said trying to remove Evelyn from the situation.

Jacob was making his way around the guys, and following Seth, even though he was kind of harassing the girl he did feel kind of bad for her falling, he kind of hoped it wasn't because of him distracting her or shouting at her that made her trip then he'd feel real bad.

James narrowed his eyes at Ashlee, he decided he'd end this insanity once and for all, he reached behind the girls head finding the string in her wavy hair, he lifted the mask gently off her face and he stood there mouth agape, holding the shimmering mask in his hand.

"Evelyn..." He managed to mutter.

[Tiger-Lily]

For freaking hell's sake! This is going to end badly....

Evelyn hadn't been able to move away, cornered as she was with the table behind her and Ashlee and Alexis by her sides. She did the only thing she could have.

Her heart hammered in panic. She reached out, plucked the mask from James' hand and pulled it back on. "Hey, Jamesy," she said nonchalantly. At that instant, Jake made his way over. She swore under her breath. "See you around."

She pulled free of Ashlee and limped off the dance floor, shoving past the onlookers. Her insides threatened to erupt out of her mouth, she felt so sick. James wasn't supposed to be here. He couldn't be here and know it was her.

Seth stayed in his spot beside Alexis, watching chaos unfold. "Well, that was unexpected."

[JulietsCurse]

"Fuck." Alexis muttered under her breath and watched after Evelyn. Out of simply not wanting go to through the crowd after herself, by herself she grabbed Seth's wrist and tugged him to follow. "C'mon."

[Guest]

Ashlee sighed following Alexis and Seth to find Evelyn and make sure she had been okay.

James stood there in astonishment, not really believing what he had seen. The Evelyn he knew would never parade around anyone half naked, and dancing well like a stripper. He was quite speechless actually, he walked away from the scene unsure of what to do with himself.

He wasn't sure what to think, its not like Evelyn was his girlfriend and he had the right to get mad because every guy in the room was howling at her like a dog with a bone. So really she could do whatever the hell she wanted.

It suddenly hit James though, that he had kind of abandoned Oriana and he kind of felt bad. He decided that maybe he'd try and find her.

[Tiger-Lily]

Seth allowed himself to be dragged by Alexis, keeping a look out for Jake, who would find it strange that the ex-blond was being hustled around by one of the masked sirens of that party. "Um, I don't think she'll want me there, Lex," he said into her ear as they stumbled through the crowd.

***

Oriana was dancing with her latest fling of the night, some cute Russian kid she knew from her classes, when she felt herself being jostled by a fleeting girl.

"Hey!" she exclaimed in outrage, as the redhead - was that a mask over her eyes? - shoved her way past them, elbowing Oriana into her partner.

"Bitch!" Oriana swore under her breath, grinding her teeth as she straightened her shirt.

The redhead threw her a glance over her shoulder and Oriana frowned as her brown eyes met green ones. Familiar green ones. But she couldn't pin a name to it.

**

Evelyn hurtled through the crowd to the only place she could find a moment of privacy: upstairs. The area was blocked off with red tape, even though people were hopping that anyways. She felt too shaken right now to put on a slutty front and she needed a second. The downstairs bathroom, she saw, was too full.

"Hey, baby," some guy held out a red paper cup to her, eyes twinkling. "You look mighty hassled. Try this."

Evelyn stared at him wordlessly, too dismayed to even say what she normally might have. Something along the lines of "Your warty nose".

The guy was salivating all over her, she realized, because she hadn't moved away yet, just leaning against the wall by the stairs that led up to the second and third floors. And then some blond bimbo launched herself at him, giving Evelyn a disgusted glance.

"Get away from my boyfriend, slut!"

Evelyn wanted to laugh for a crazy second. She held it back and eyed the blond coolly. "It's impossible to make a guy cheat unless he's willing to. Trust me, I didn't go up and slobber all over him."

The blond blushed a little but gritted her teeth and attempted to drag her beau away, spitting, "You're a whore, it's your job!"

Evelyn looked down at the girl's skimpy shorts and sports bra and wondered who was the bigger fool. She sneered. "Babies 'R' Us called. They want those shorts back, honey."

The blond stared at her a moment - then lunged forward, wailing in rage. Evelyn decided not to test fate and ducked as the girl's manicured paws swiped at the air near her cheek. The redhead skirted around the lumberjack who'd started the whole mess and slipped up the stairs swiftly.

[JulietsCurse]

Alexis rolled her eyes and let Seth go, flipping off Oriana shoving past her, once more just to piss her off. She flipped the blond and her boyfriend off also before going after Evelyn swiftly. "Ev!"She called, hoping she'd hear.
