Under the cut is a partial transcript for a 2017 episode of the podcast "¿Hablas Español? with Soledad Sánchez" ft Cam, Derek John, and Alvin.

Soledad: ¡Hola! ¡Bienvenido! ¡Buenos dias! I'm Soledad and today we have some very special guests: Three of the members of Chrome Heart! And let me just say, I'm a huge fan. I'm, like, obsessed with your music and when I found out there were three Latinos in the group I knew I had to have you on.

Alvin: Thank you. We're glad to be here.

S: Okay, before we begin, please introduce yourselves to the audience. Though I'm sure that's not really necessary for you guys because you're like crazy stupid famous.

A: Hi, I'm Alvin Santiago.

Derek John: I'm Derek John Juarez, and honestly, I'm kind of starstruck right now because I grew up watching your show on Disney channel and I thought you were like, the coolest person alive.

S: Aww, that's so sweet.

Cam: Hi, I'm Cam Perez.

S: For those, who have been living under a rock, Chrome Heart is a boyband who were formed on StarCaster – a singing competition show – and blew up basically overnight because they're a pack of talented cute boys.

C: Okay, wait, before we start.. What was your show?

A: Oh, yeah, I have no clue either.

S: Wow. That's humbling.

C: No, no! I just didn't watch TV growing up and Vin's, like, old.

A: Thanks, Cam.

S: [Snorts.] Okay, well, I was the star of the show "Dreams Come True" where I played Mandy Martinez and I was basically a witch who could make people's dreams turn into reality and I got into hijinks and shit.

C: Wait, I kinda love that. [Turning to Derek John] Can we watch that when we go home?

DJJ: Of course.

S: Okay, so are all of you Mexican or no? Google kept giving me mixed answers.

DJJ: I'm Puerto Rican, but they're both Mexican, yeah.

S: Nice. I'm Colombian and Puerto Rican. And you guys all speak Spanish? Do you all.. Are you all fluent?

DJJ: I'm, like, mostly fluent? I didn't start learning Spanish properly until I was around eight because I lived with my dad, who doesn't speak it. But then I moved in with my mom and grandma and they basically talked to me only in Spanish.

C: Spanish is my first language, so I'm fluent, yeah.

S: Oh, wow, really? We never have people who don't have Spanish as their second language on here.

C: Yeah, um, I was born in Mexico and didn't come to the States until I was five. And I lived with my mom and Grandma my whole life, who only spoke in Spanish to each other and to me.

S: That's so interesting! Did you have to take ESL as a kid?

C: Yeah. But I learned English, like, stupidly fast because I hated all the teachers and the white kids talking to me like I was stupid. [Laughs.]

DJJ: Only you would learn an entire second language to get people to stop bothering you.

S: [Laughs.] And what about you, Alvin?

A: It's kind of like a joke between the three of us that I only know Mom Spanish. Like I only know the things my mom said when she was yelling at me and my brother. My dad refused to teach me because he wanted us to be, like, assimilated, but I still learned some things here and there, through, like, context clues. But when they have a conversation in Spanish, I only understand bits and pieces.

S: Yeah, my parents were the same way. They didn't want me to learn because they didn't want me to be ostracized. But all that did was make it harder to learn as I got older. Now I'm about sixty five percent fluent, I'd guess.

C: Sorry, I know you're the interviewer so you can disregard this, but were you.. Did your show allow you to be Latina?

S: Oh.. Hmm, kinda. I – My character – had Latino parents but they were both played by Mexican actors, and rarely seen. And I wasn't treated as Latina by the narrative, or the company. I was just.. a girl.

C: That's awful. I– Recently, the three of us were talking about StarCaster and the way it kind of.. racialized us.

S: What do you mean?

C: I'm not sure how to explain it but with us and Ross – another member – it was like we were a zoo attraction, like, this group has four boys of color! You want to support them because you want to support people of color to show just how supportive and socially aware you are! Instead of, like, based on our talents.

DJJ: And they would listen to our private, personal conversations and have a translator there, telling everyone what we were saying.

A: What? I didn't know that.

S: That's insane.

DJJ: Yeah but it's okay. We started lying, fucking with them, saying crazy shit so they started leaving us alone. One time Cam asked the translator dude if he'd be okay with people doing the same thing with him and his family and he refused to translate for the rest of the day because he felt bad.

S: As he should!

-

S: If you don't just sit in his lap. Good grief.

A: Pardon?

S: I've been watching the two of them squish closer for the past ten minutes. It's like they're trying to meld into one body. Just sit in his lap.

[Derek John laughs as Cam plops himself into his lap.]

-

S: What Spanish word or phrase do you use the most?

A: Dejen de hacer eso (Stop doing that) for sure. These two are always making me yell at them for something.

DJJ: It's good practice for your future children.

[Alvin rolls his eyes.]

C: Te amo. (I love you.) I say it to my mom and grandma and Derek John basically everyday.

A: But not me, because I'm his least favorite member.

C: [Laughs.] Shut up. Te amo, te amo, te amo.

DJJ: I think recently mine has been bésame. (Kiss me.)

S: Ooh.. Do you have a little señorita? O señor?

DJJ: [Nodding.] I cannot disclose that information.

S: [Laughs.]

-

S: Sadly, we've reached the end of our interview. It's been so lovely talking to you three. This is the most fun I've had in a minute.

C: Aww, you're sweet.

S: Because it's the end of the show, I leave you all with one final question: What's your favorite Spanish swear word?

DJJ: ¡Cabron!

C: Mierda.

A: Cabron as well.

S: [Laughs.] Fantastic! Okay, thank you guys so much for coming. Today was so much fun.

DJJ: Thank you for having us.

Stumbling West

Aaron Hotchner x Female Reader

Chapter 29

Warranted Vexation

i.e. Season 11 Episode 9

TW: typical criminal minds case jargon. a tiny bit of angst because reader is mad at Aaron for a second. talks of pregnancy, some nice little fluff in here for reader and Aaron along with some Penelope Garcia love.

AN: Here we go :) You get to find out what reader is having in this episode. I was going to do the reveal the way I did for Charlotte but decided against it. The chapter was already getting a little “wordy” in my opinion. I hope you enjoy this chapter :)

word count: 3,076

Series Masterlist

“The NSA and the DEA are both involved, so we’ll be part of a joint Taskforce. Go ahead, Garcia.” Aaron informs the team in the conference room and giving Garcia orders to start the debrief.

“Ok. Uh, 3 weeks ago undercover DEA agent Mark Bowers disappeared.” She brings the pictures onto the screen, “His body was found 5 days ago in Ciudad Juarez.”

“Ciudad Juarez is one of the most dangerous cities in the world.” Tara comments.

“Not only was agent Bowers found strangled, but he also had another human face covering his face.” Garcia continues.

“Another human face?” JJ questions, not believing she heard right.

Garcia grimaces, “Yes. I guess skinned or scalped. I don't know what you call it, but I couldn't put the pictures up here. You can see them on your own tablets.”

“It is typical for drug cartels to send a message through the corpse.” You suggest, choosing to not look at the pictures on the tablet, you'll let the rest of the team handle that.

“Yeah, body parts sent to family members.” Tara agrees.

“A face on top of another face could easily mean he’s undercover or he’s two-faced.” JJ theorizes.

Aaron sighs next to you, “Which is back news for the two missing agents. They were both undercover.”

“Yeah,” Garcia pulls up there pictures, “John Portman vanished a week ago. And then Sarah Miles disappeared yesterday. All of these agents were investigating the Libertad Drug Cartel.”

“If someone knew that they were undercover, then there has to be a mole on the inside.” Derek informs.

“Well,” Aaron says, “We have to consider all possibilities.” The way he says it has you believing he’s holding something back. And based off of how Rossi continues to study the tablet, you conclude that he is aware of whatever it is. “This cartel is, in fact, unique in a few ways.”

Garcia hums, “It appeared on the darkness after the Silk Road was shut down. It has online and an on-the-ground component based in El Paso. It’s run by someone named George Washington.”

“An identity that can be assumed by different individuals.” Aaron states.

“El Paso’s just across the Rio Grande from some of the worst drug violence there is.” Rossi finally looks up, “Not a bad place to set up.”

“it would be easy to fly under the radar when there’s bigger fish to fry right down the road.” You shrug.

“All right. You’ll all head to El Paso and find out what happened to the missing agents.” Aaron orders the team, before turning to you, “You’ll stick with me, I’ll run the cyber part of the investigation from here.”

You are just almost exactly 24 weeks along, but with you having twins, you are showing more like 31 or 32 weeks. The doctor told you at your last appointment that, although your baby boys are very healthy, your body is working a little more than usual and putting a little bit more stress on you. So she recommended that you start taking it easier. Resting more, not standing for long periods, and talked about maybe not flying around as much, only going on the plane during the smaller flights.

You’re little family was very excited about finding out it was twin boys. Jack jumped for joy about getting two brothers, while Charlotte, still a little young to understand exactly what was going on, was excited because her older brother was. You and Aaron didn’t have a huge preference, but a part of you thinks twin boys might be a little easier, considering how Aaron lets Charlotte get away with everything. Then again, he also lets Jack get away with everything.

Aaron took what the doctor said about flying, to mean no flying at all. Him practically benching you and making you consult from quantico on the last case caused a fight, one that would have probably been avoided had your husband consulted you before making the decision. If your honest, you are still a little peeved with his decision, but will admit to yourself it was nice to sleep in your own bed and be with the kids at night. Not mentioning you are extremely more tired this pregnancy. You did not give these points to Aaron, not wanting him to have more leverage over his decision. It wasn't about him being right, it was about not including you.

“Happy hunting.” Rossi comments to Aaron, though you hear it to. You send Aaron a look that translates to ‘What’s that about?’ but he just discreetly shakes his head at you, ‘not here’.

You and Aaron get off the elevator on the DEA cyber floor, a man walking up to you both, “You must be Agent Hotchner and.. Agent Hotchner?”

You smile, giving him your maiden name, “I use that at work, keeps things from being confusing.”

“Ah.” He nods his head, “My apologies.” You wave him off as Aaron shakes his hand, “I’m Assistant DEA Director Bernard Graff. Welcome to the cyber war against drugs.”

He starts walking down the hall, you and Aaron following behind him, “We could always use the extra help, but I’m surprised the NSA puled you into this. Aren't you busy hunting psychopaths who cut up prostitutes or something?”

“Well, we have a case and there may be some cross-over.” Aaron replies.

“You mean, Giuseppe Montolo and the other online hit men.” Graf comments.

“Yes. We’re interested in whoever the successor to The Silk Road may be, and Libertad seems to fit the bill.” Aaron looks around before stopping to look at Graff.

You watch both men size each other up, and you can’t help but feel there both looking for the same thing, the same tell, though you aren't sure what for.

Graff crosses his arms over his chest, “Well, if you ask me the NSA’s got it easy. All they do is monitor and analyze. But when it comes to putting away the bad guys, you and I have to do all the dirty work. Isn’t that right?”

Before Aaron has a chance to answer him, two people come out of an office, arguing.

“It’s not related.” A woman in a white cardigan tells the man that formed out of the office before her.

The man turns around to face her, “Are you kidding me? My best friend did not just have a hiking accident. I’m out of here.”

“Well, he seemed upset.” Graff comments once the mans left the room, storming out of the building. He turns towards the woman, “”This is Adrienne Mitchell, our head Libertad intelligence specialist.”

He introduces her, shaking both you and Aaron’s hand.

“The man that just left was our confidential informant, Simon Kahn.” Graf informs.

Mitchell looks to the door where Simon stormed out, “He just learned his friend died. I’ll give him some space, then we talk to him again.”

“Our specialists have been posing online as buyers and dealers. We made contact with Simon 5 months ago, who alerted us to the hybrid nature of Libertad.” Graff supplies. You listen intently as you notice Aaron watching both Graff’s and Mitchell’s body language, you know he is profiling them, you just don’t know why.

“He’s a tor network relay operator for them. He wants out but claims he’s not being allowed to quit.” Mitchell continues to inform you of Simon.

“Is he being threatened?” You ask.

Graff shrugs, “Apparently, but we haven't seen the evidence.”

“Does he know who the head of the cartel is?” Aaron questions.

Graff and Mitchell share a look, Graff speaking up, “The real I.D. of George Washington? No. But he does know the number two.”

“Took months to get him to come in.” Mitchell sighs, “He was close to giving us a name, but now he’s scared again.”

“I’d like to get my own analyst on this, if you don’t mind.” Aaron asks, though, it doesn't really come out as a question, “She’ll work out of the BAU.”

“By all means.” Graff replies before looking to an agent across the room, “Jack, do you mind showing them where they can set up, please.”

Aaron thanks him as you and him go to follow the agent. As you walk away, you see Graff and Mitchell turn away from you both. Aaron doesn't seem to be the only one hiding something.

You walk back into the conference room you and Aaron were given for the case and catch the end of the phone conversation Aaron was having, “No, but something’s definitely wrong.” He turns and notices your presence, hanging up the phone with a short, “I’ll talk to you later.”

“Who was that?” You question, setting the case files on to the table.

“Rossi.” He answers, looking to the case board and avoiding your eye.

You hum your response, not knowing if you want to start a conversation that could turn into an argument before even finishing the current one.

You sit down and go over the files again, along with the files Garcia fazed over. You don’t find anything new.

“Are you listening?” You hear Aaron question.

You look up to him, brows furrowed, “What?” You shake your head, clearing your mind, “Sorry, I was’t— what were you saying?”

Aaron frowns, “I asked if you found anything new.”

“No.” You shake your head, going back to the file you were looking at before the interruption.

You hear him let out a deep sigh but don’t look back up. Only when he whispers your name softly do you tear your eyes away from the paper you weren't reading.

“Are you still upset with me?”

“I’m not upset.” You tell him, your face void of any defining emotion.

He raises an eyebrow at you, “That’s what you say when you're mad at me.”

You roll your eyes at him, “O’m not angry at you Aaron, I’m frustrated. There’s a difference.”

“The doctor suggested you take a step back from flying.” His voice is still low, but you can hear the defending tone of his actions behind it.

“No, she suggested, that I start taking a small step back on the longer flights, not just flying in general.” Your voice still calm.

Aaron crosses his arms, still standing by the case board, making him look down at you. You feel like a kid getting reprimanded, and that does not help with you patience. “So you are mad.” He states.

“No, Aaron.” Your voice raises slightly, “I’m frustrated. I’m frustrated because you made the decision without consulting me. Do I believe it was the right one to make, yes. But it wasn't only yours to make. You should have discussed it with me in private before announcing it to the team.”

Aaron’s lips go into a straight line as he closes his eyes briefly. When he opens them, he drops his arms, face softening, “I’m sorry I didn’t consult it with you. I was under the impression we were on the same page.”

You nod your head a few times, letting your hormones calm down. Although your vexation towards him was warranted, you didn't like arguing with him, and the past week you both have been walking on egg shells, neither of you wanting to fight. You really don’t like your frustration turning to angry stares and raised voices. “Thank you.” You tell him gently

You study him for a few moments in silence, “What aren't you telling me about this case?”

Aaron shakes his head at you slowly, eyes going to the door. You get the hint, he doesn't want to discuss it here. You gather up the files, “Theres nothing here, I should head back to the BAU and help Garcia out.”

Aaron helps you with the bags, “I’ll drive you. I need to talk to her anyway, see what she has so far.”

Once you both get into the car, Aaron starts driving, turing on the radio before he speaks, “NSA believes there is a mole.”

You study him from your seat, “And you think it’s Graff?”

“Yes.”

You nod your head, taking in what he said and trying to go over your interaction with Graff and Mitchell from earlier. You purse your lips, “Any reason why?”

“You think I’m wrong?” He asks, glancing over at you.

You shrug, “He seemed as skeptical of you, as you did of him.”

Aaron’s brows draw down, and you know he’s stuck in his head. You lightly touch his shoulder, “All I’m saying is you could be wrong. Don’t let whoever told you of the mole make the judgment for you.”

Aaron drops you off at the BAU, wanting to talk to Graff some more. You head to Penelope’s office.

“Sunshine!” She exclaims to you the moment you walk in, getting up and dragging you to one of the big, comfy chairs she has in her office. You laugh as she drags over another one and outs it opposite of you, “For your feet!”

“I’m fine, Penelope, thank you though.” You smile at her.

“Well, it’s there if you need it.” She goes to sit back at her computer. “I’ve been trying to find some sort of evidence linking the first unsub to the DEA agents but I’m not finding anything.” She tells you.

“Hmmm.” You hum. “The first kill is the most important, but the second tells the story.”

“What do you mean by that?” Garcia questions.

You put your feet up on the chair, “Well, the first kill can usually help us identify their type or where their desire comes from kind of like a base line. Their second gives us a routine and a signature to look for.” You look over to her, “Are we sure his ‘first kill’ was his first? The victimology is almost the exact same except he wasn't an undercover agent.”

She starts typing on her computer, “I’ve check national police reports, nothing about a face on a face.”

You sit and think for awhile, knowing you're missing something. “Did you check across the boarder? One of the bodies was found in Mexico, maybe he didn't start in the US.”

You watch her start typing on her computer again. “Ah!” She happily screams, “You, my sunny little mama friend, are a genius! You should get a raise.”

Laughing at her words you listen to her explain the serial killer investigation in Ciudad Juarez. Derek calls her and your phone rings while she’s informing the team of what you both found. You look down, seeing it’s Aaron, and move to the hallway to answer it, “What’s up?”

“Are you with Garcia?” He asks you. You can hear some sort of underlining of anxiety in his voice, but know you can’t question it. Not now.

“Yeah, I just stepped out to answer.”

Aaron sighs, “Good. Stay there.”

“You good?” You question him, biting your lip from wanting to ask if he’s safe or where he is.

“Yes. I need to go do something and then I’ll head to you.”

“Alright.” You nod your head, even though he can’t see you, “Love you.”

“I love you too.” He hangs up the phone. You wait a few seconds, getting your bearings back and putting on a calm face before going back into Garcia’s office. That girl might not be a profiler, but she knows how to read her team.

“So, Director Cochran, was the mole?” You question Aaron in his office the next night.

“Yeah. Didn't see that one coming either.” He sighs. He looks to you, sitting in one of the chairs across from his desk. A small smile graces his features and he reaches his hand out to you, “Come here.”

You push yourself up with a grunt, both of you laughing, your belly seems to actually be growing by the day. Walking around his desk, he pushes his chair out a little and grabs your hand in his, pulling you into his lap. You huff at him, “Aaron, I’m going to squish you.”

“No, you won’t.” He wraps his arms around you as you sit sideways on his lap, your head resting on his shoulder once you stop fighting him, deciding to just relax. He kisses your temple, “I just want to hold you, you brat.”

You giggle at that, raising your head enough to make eye contact with him. He smiles at you, one of his genuine smiles you usually only see him sport at home. You lean up enough for him to get the hint, his lips meeting yours softly in a sweet and loving embrace.

His cell phone rings, making him pull back with a sound of annoyance, answering it with a pout, “Hotchner.”

You close your eyes and relax fully into him, being lulled by his voice as he talks to Rossi. He pats you on the thigh when he hangs up, “Lets go see Garcia.”

Both of you go to the room she is staying in, until the ‘dirty dozen’ is taken care of, watching as she paces around, trying to make her living situation more comfortable. You know she is struggling, and it’s evident in her wavering voice.

Aaron is about to suggest the both of you go home when she turns towards you, “Hey, I’m gonna make myself a vegetarian omelet for dinner. Do you want one?”

You and Aaron share a look, and you know he won’t say no to her. It’s one of the things that made you fall in love with him, how deeply he cares for his team.

“Well,” He says still looking at you, giving you a chance to say no if you wanted, “Jack and Charlotte are already in bed…”

You turn towards her, “You have jalapeños” You ask. They have been one of your biggest cravings with this pregnancy.

Garcia pats her tear stained face, drying the remnants away, “Uh, I’m sorry. Do— Do I have ja—“ She walks over to a drawer pulling it open.

You send a wink to Aaron as he shakes his head back with a smirk, both of you turning your attentions back to Garcia.

“I want you to know, I have had a love affair with all things spicy and hot since I was, like, 12.”

Aaron grabs the bowl and cutting board from her as you go to sit in one of the chairs, watching as he cuts them and she starts the eggs.

As you watch the both of them do their jobs, joking and laughing, you rub your growing belly with both hands, feeling, deep in your bones, that everything’s gonna be alright.

Derek John Juarez, born November 10, 1997, is the eldest of three with two younger sisters – Marisol Renee & Regina Star. His mother is a lawyer and his father is a bank teller. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, but grew up in Queens with fellow member, Ross.

He's known in the industry for his brutal honesty, lack of a filter, and very short temper, but also for being incredibly kind. At age eleven, following an incident that led to his expulsion, he was diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorder, though he does take medication for it and is much better at managing his rage.

He has been unofficially crowned as the group's spokesperson, as he is known for helping the members speak up for themselves and shutting down invasive interview questions. Along with this, he is another one of the group's primary songwriters.

random phone calls throughout the day to say "I miss you." + cam and Derek john!

this is their boy-best-friends-i-have-a-crush-on-you-no-i-dont-i-think-about-kissing-you-all-the-time-era

-

It only took Cam a day he before started calling Derek John. They'd been stuck together for almost half a year and it only took him a day before he needed to talk to him again. (Not that Derek John was one to judge. He'd been thinking about him nonstop, ever since he got off the plane.)

He almost didn't answer it because he didn't have the number saved – he'd forgotten that Cam didn't actually have a cellphone because they hadn't even needed it, living together and seeing each other every day and all – but something in his gut told him he had to.

He was lying in bed, playing his old 3DS his father had found, when he got the call. "Hello?"

"I think my house is haunted," Cam's voice said, coming through Derek John's phone speaker crackled because he accidentally dropped it in the sink earlier and hadn't quite gotten all the water out.

He sat up, feeling like he had to be upright for this conversation and tried to visualize Cam on the other side of the line. On the other side of the country.

He was probably wearing his stupid Snoopy pajamas, the ones with the hole in the right inner thigh, and a shirt he had stolen from someone in the group. He was probably sitting in the dark because he was a freak, twirling the phone cord around his finger like the girls in the old movies he loved so much.

"Cam?" he asked, even though he knew who it is was. "Isn't it like one in the morning for you?"

They'd all done the math to calculate the time differences between them on Starbucks napkins, because Eddie was insistent that timezones were fake and time was the same everywhere.

Cam hummed in acknowledgement. "Yeah. But there's a ghost and I got scared and my mom and abuela are asleep. So I called you."

He said it like it was a casual thing to say, like it hadn't made Derek John's heart skip in his chest.

That was the one good thing about the distance. At least Cam wasn't there to witness the effect he had on him. He could keep all his embarrassing lovestruck feelings to himself.

"Aww, you want me to protect you from the big bad ghost?" he teased.

Cam scoffed. “No. You’re on the other side of the country. What could you do, yell at it?” Derek John could practically hear his eye roll. “No I just.. I missed you, if I’m being honest. And you make me feel brave and I need all the bravery I can get if there’s a fuckin' ghost in my house.”

Derek John was going to pass out. Honesty wasn’t Cam’s thing, always masking his feelings and his words through five layers of performance, but when he was telling the truth, it always felt like a punch to the face.

“Why do you think there’s a ghost?” he asked instead of responding to Cam’s admission.

Cam launched into a story about how his house was creaking and groaning and he had seen a floating white apparition in the bathroom earlier that day.

Derek John nodded along, interjecting in all the right places with skepticism and logical reasoning for creaking floors and tricks of the light.

They stayed on the phone until they both fell asleep, Cam snoring softly in his ear, Pokemon long forgotten.

Before he fell asleep though, Derek John made sure to whisper "I missed you too" even though Cam wasn't awake to hear it.

[chanting] boy band verse!!! boy! band! verse! here is band dad alvin and the worlds best frenemies derek john and eddie

-

Alvin was in the middle of reading over the talking points for the group’s upcoming interview - at some lame radio show that he couldn’t remember the name of - when the door to their dressing room slammed open.

Eddie stormed in, his brand new boots thunking noisily, and everyone snapped to attention. Derek John looked up from his phone. Ross’s hand froze, his fork hovering an inch away from his mouth. Cam tensed, grip tightening around the book he was reading.

“I’m so sick of Hollywood girls who think they’re too good for me,” Eddie announced, stomping over to the couch and dropping his head onto Alvin’s shoulder like a child looking for comfort.

Cam rolled his eyes. “Can you not be misogynistic for like one day?”

Eddie chucked a crumpled up napkin at him. “I’m not being misogynistic, you-”

Alvin squinted at him. “Why is your cheek red?”

Derek John gasped like a little kid on Christmas. "Did you just get slapped? Oh man, I need to high-five them, Where are they?"

Eddie faked a laugh. “I hope you choke on stage.”

Derek John continued rapid firing questions at him, undeterred by the insult. “Was it that backup dancer? The blonde one? Me and Ross told you she wasn't gonna go for you. What’d you say?”

Alvin bit his lip to stifle his laugh. “Leave him alone. His pride and ego are wounded enough as it is.”

Derek John cackled as Eddie groaned in annoyance.
