【 𝔢𝔲𝔯𝔶𝔞𝔩𝔢 * 𝔞 𝔤𝔬𝔯𝔤𝔬𝔫 𝔰𝔠𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔪 】 —   an event open.

where ... out the side of the rented villa; alex’s birthday event.

when  ...  just after 11pm

with  ...  anyone!

“I’M not trying to over think, but fuck, if i don’t go in and wish the bastard a happy birthday ... it’ll look weird, but if i do go in and anything happens ...” she shudders, a little comically, for effect, “... it’ll be worse than a no-show. this whole island is the EPICENTRE of rumour and gossip,” her rambles over a cigarette in the shadows somewhat helped in the form of vodka and red-bull ...  val takes a puff, the gray smoke wafting as she adds; “hell, if i walk in and he’s sucking face with lux, not that i mind the girl at all, i can’t exactly promise my facial expressions will behave; it’s still a bit weird, alright?   and even if my face does behave, what’s to stop someone from going to her and pointing me out, spilling the beans that alex and i used to fuck around up until they started dating? ... i’d even bet that some swizzle-stick dick busy-body will put the idea in the poor girls head that there was overlap ...  which there was not, to be clear.��

“MAYBE i’ll just keep ducking eye contact, find me some jell-o shots and see if i can just avoid the landmines of my ex’s and ex-hook ups ... and the ex’s current girlfriends ... or boyfriends ... or spouses,” she hisses out a breath, carried with the last of the cigarette.  val lights another, and takes a sip from her cup ... searching for a little soothing in the mixed energy drink and vodka.  “god, this reminds me of senior-year parties ... i’m REALLY not in the mood to either wear a drink or throw a drink tonight.”
