Cheers!" The group cheered again, not really caring about how wasted they already are. While gulping down the beer, Edison spoke more like whispered, "So when are you going to confess to Rose?" Meanwhile, Jake pats his shoulder, speaking in a fake sweet tone, "May I know whom you are talking about, Mr. Edison?" Oliver chokes on his drink, speaking, "Uhh... I... nothing." Oliver tried sliding out of the scene, but (fuck his bad luck) he bumped onto Alex. Oliver smiles nervously while Alex smirks at him. "Oh... fuc-hey... Nice to meet you... I... I'll get going, hehehe."
Out of nowhere, Anna jumped, clinging onto Alex. Speaking groggily as she had a really low alcohol tolerance, "babyyy, this is f-fun." Alex held onto her waist to stabilize her. "I know right, and I even know that you are not going to remember anything." Anna pushed him off like some kind of punch bag, hugging Emily and Rose. "I'm going to miss you so much," said in between hiccus. "One night isn't enough," Emily said, struggling to keep her eyes open. "Yeah, I'll miss you people." Starts crying out of the blue. The other two girls joined to make the guys feel like they were third-wheeling. "Let's meet again." Anna jumps onto Alex. "Take us on a trip, baby," she says groggily, resting her head on his shoulder, almost unconscious. "You drained pretty quick, didn't you?" he tangles her hair between his fingers affectionately.
"Let's take them home now; it's pretty late too," Jake said. Jake drags Rose out, tossing her into the car like some kind of rag. Oliver gets on the passenger seat in front. As he looked back at Alex, who is carrying Anna like a fragile doll, he set her on his lap, cradling her against his chest. In the middle of nowhere, Anna wakes up and punches Alex, "You didn't take me on a trip, ughhh!!!!" Alex grabs her wrist, preventing her from throwing hands, wincing, and finding her hard to handle. She suddenly starts crying, "You're so bad, you.. you didn't take me on a date.. nor on a trip.. nothing.. seemingly obsessed with your so-called work... You make me feel like I'm third wheeling between you and your work... Huh... So bad... A whole red carpet," she says everything in one breath. "Yeah, yeah, I know, baby.. but we went on a date the other day? Didn't we?" She ignores his defense, wiping her nose off his coat. "Ewwww, cringe!" Oliver speaks, making a disgusted expression... "At least I have a girlfriend," Alex spoke with a smug smirk.
The next morning, Alex had already planned a trip to a rainforest island. In the kitchen, making a hangover drink for Anna, smiling sheepishly to himself. As Anna woke up, Alex made her gulp down the drink without even giving her time to protest. "Before you even say a word, I've already planned a trip to a rainforest island. I completed all the formalities. Now you just have to pack your bags, plaster a smile on that pretty face, and we'll be there." He took a deep breath as he said everything in on breath. "Did you inform them?" Anna asked, her voice still hoarse and eyelids still heavy. Alex scratches the back of his neck. "Uhhh... I haven't actually..." Alex spoke. "Asshole," Anna muttered under her breath. "Tell them about it... And yeah... Nicely, gently, ok?" Alex salutes playfully. "Your wish, my command... Your highness," Alex bows down in front of her, only to get kicked out of the room.
In the living room, Alex stared blankly at his phone. "Ok, then I'll call Oliver, and I've got to speak nicely. Yea nicely," he says to himself, preparing to be nice. The phone rings, and after two rings, Oliver picks up. "Listen there, we've planned a trip on the rainforest island, so without any objection you have to get your ass there... Respectfully," he ends the call without listening to the other side. "Yup, I was nice... probably." He repeats the process, speaking the same line to everyone. As the last call ended, he huffs "It's so hard to be nice... Ughh" cracks his neck.
