Pierce disentangled himself from Ericka, nodding to Roxanne. “Your wish is my command,” he said with a wink. Turning, he bowed to Ericka. “And I will be back, my sweet, fear not.”
With a bark of laughter, he turned to grab one of the kegs before he was ambushed by the on comers. And that’s when in-walked Olivia, the blonde I.Q. of 97 that was like a doorknob- you know the phrase, everyone had a turn- looking just as peppy as ever.
“Piierce!” she said in her sickeningly sweet tone.
“Hey, ‘Livia.” He greeted shortly, before hefting up the metal container. “Come on, I’ll walk you out to the grill.” She looked flustered, but offered a smile- figured she would get lost.

Ericka smiled and allowed Pierce to get away to carry in the kegs. 'Hey Roxanne. How are you doing? She smiled as she watched Pierce carry the keg.
Hmm. I wonder if something's going on with that girl and Pierce. Her smile dropped and an inquisitive look fell upon her face.
[damn. short.]

Roxanne laughed, before turning to Ericka, “I’m fine- cookin’ like a slave, but someone has to. So- what’s going on between you and Sparrow?” She paused for a minute, not thinking that she knew his last name: “I mean Pierce. Sparrow is his last name.” She said with a small shrug.
She turned to see Jill, “oh shit- the whore is here.” She said out loud, somewhat jokingly, but smiling all the same. Jill pursed her deep red lips together in a small smile to accompany the, “Hey Rox! Girl you look great. We have to chat later.” It was obviously fake, but she said it to be polite.
“So do you!” Roxanne said back, but there was a bitter taste of the words. As Jill turned to walk back towards Jake, Roxanne turned to Ericka, “She’s such a whore and has been trying to get with my cousin since last summer. She tried keeping him over the internet: sending him picture of her nude and all, but that just turned him off. She’ll realize it soon enough.” She said before flipping a steak.
“Anyway- that was Jill. The cute one over there is Bobby and the scruffy one standing next to him is CT. They’re step-brothers turned best friends.” She then heard the peppy talk of Olivia, “The girl walking with Pierce is Olivia. She’s the typical blonde. Pretty, Preppy, and Stupid- but she’s really nice.” She said with a smile as it was true.
“Aye- when’s the others comin’?” Bobby asked standing next to Roxanne and giving her a hug, “and- who is your friend?” He asked looking Ericka up and down.
“Chill Bobby- this is Ericka. Ericka, this is Bobby- he thinks he has game. But he doesn’t” She said laughing. He smirked, “Nice to meet you- Ericka.”

Ericka blushed. 'There's nothing between me and Pierce. He's just a friend' She looked down for a moment and recovered. 'Mhm.' She took note of the exchange between Roxanne and the 'whore', Jill, along with all that she said about the others there.
'Hi Bobby. Nice to meet you too.' She laughed at what Roxanne said about him and bit her lower lip at how he was checking her out. Cute. Hmm. Things are going to be interesting tonight.

Pierce smiled as he walked over to Ericka and Roxanne again, setting the keg down near the former. “So, where would you like me to set this up?” He nodded to Bobby, although highly doubted the guy could peal his eyes off Ericka to notice. Looking off around the crowd, he noticed someone much more… eccentric enter, heading in a bee line for Roxy. Ah, he knew who this was. “Roxy!” Aiden cried out happily, hugging the aforementioned. “I haven’t seen you since… two days ago! You took the day off yesterday.” He frowned, obviously wanting an explanation. Roxy was busy whining and circling the grill, hungry as always. ahh, aiden... outfit, mind you, not face |D;;

“Uhm, put it over…” Roxanne paused to think and decided the best place would be in the corner of the deck next to the cooler and several bottles that were set up along the deck railing, “there.” She said pointing towards the place she wanted before getting hugged by Aiden.
“Aiden!” She said giving the platinum blond a hug. “I know- I was so tired, and I needed to rest… so I took the day off yesterday. Sorry.” She said, biting her lip. “Anyway- this is Ericka. Ericka- this is Aiden, the best photographer that I know- and part time tender at Sloppy Joe’s.” She said smiling.
A few more people came: Caleb who brought his date Katie. Tim who came with Nathan. Brock, Hedda, Lindsey, and Alex- the boy one, all came with chicken wings. Taylor came with some marshmallows and a few shot glasses. She was Roxanne’s friend since the first grade and lived next door. She had spunky black hair and darkly lined amber eyes, with a dash of blue for eye shadow. “Hey Rox.” She said lining the glasses up one by one next to each bottle of liquor that was displayed.
“Hey Tay, grab this…” Roxanne said handing her a plate.

Ericka just stood there, taking in the entire place. She was completely dumb-struck at the amount of people that were there.

“Next time, you’re calling me,” he said, before turning to Ericka, “Ah, how gorgeous! I’m pleasured to be in your acquaintance, Ericka,” Aiden enthusiastically greeted, before blushing. “And my dear Roxanne gives me too much credit... Whether or not I deserve it.”
He looked up Ericka top to bottom, furrowing his brow. “Have you ever tried modeling?” it was a random question, to be honest, one he asked almost every person once before.
Pierce came back after placing down the keg, smiling, “You’re not roping her into one of your freaky shoots, Aiden.” He quickly said. “Hey, Ericka, come with me for a little, please?” he asked.
He had of course planned to find Jake, and ask for a ride to Curt’s, where his baby lie waiting in storage for it’s big debut. “You don’t mind if I steal her, do you?” he directed towards Roxanne with another blindingly white smile.

'It's nice to meet you, Aiden.' She laughed at him. What a character. 'I've been asked. But I have no wish to model right now. Maybe later.
Ericka's face brightened when Pierce came back. Hmm. He where would he want to take me? She smiled and looked towards Roxanne and Aiden. 'Well bye for now, guys. Where are we going? She looked to Pierce.

Roxanne laughed, “Oh shush Aiden, and of course I’ll call you next time.” She said wrapping her arm around her best guy friend before turning to Pierce, “Yes, actually I do mind if you steal her.” She said raising an eyebrow, but she smiled and nodded, “go ahead- why ask for my permission.” She laughed a little before turning to talk to Taylor.
Paper plates were stacked on one corner of the wooden table, plastic cups and utensils were next to them. The rest of the table was covered with food: steak, rice, potatoes, noodles, salad, hamburgers, some veggies, and other random food that they could all pull together. People were already eating, no matter what the time. “You two can eat whenever.” Roxanne added to Ericka and Pierce before getting nudged by Taylor to pay attention to what she was saying.
Taylor handed her a cup of beer, “I’m not much of a bartender, but here ya go.” She said handing the cup of light amber beverage to her friend.
“Thanks.” Roxanne said taking a large gulp of the beer. She would rather have shots instead of kegs, or mixed drinks- seeing she was a bartender: she loved mixing drinks.

Pierce smiled, walking her to Jake’s car- having acquired the key from an unnamed source. “Someplace special,” was what he offered to her question, a mysterious smirk spreading across his features.
When he reached the car, he opened the passenger door for her, helping her in before walking to the other side of the car and hopping in himself. Just like that; they were off.
-will move to another board in a minute-
Aiden looked miffed after Ericka and Pierce took off. “What's with the girl?” he asked Roxanne.

'O...kay' she furrowed her brows and looked a little worried. Ericka got in the passenger seat and waited for him to get in as well.
'So. Are you going to tell me where we're going or just leave me in the dark?' She attempted a smile. What am I doing? I just met this guy and now I'm in a car alone with him. Didn't I leave these kinds of actions behind me?

[[record time. ha!]]
Roxanne shrugged, “I don’t think she has a problem, I think she’s just shy. We did all just bombard the place.” She said looking around at the people that were at her place, more had come and the food was running out. This was typical. Food was the first to go- everyone saved the alcohol for later.
Soon, she would have to bring out the chips and crackers and what not- or someone would end up making pancakes at three in the morning again.
“I think she’s crushing on Pierce.” Taylor said in between gulps of another beer and a hotdog. “What do you think, Aiden?” She said turning to him.

Aiden looked put off. “Crush?” he asked. “Seemed a little more than… anyway, that’s not what I mean. It’s just- something’s not right with her. She seems a little off…”
There goes Aiden and his supposed sixth sense. Emphasis on supposed. Behind the camera, it was like he could capture somebody’s soul- but when the camera wasn’t there, it was like he took the picture upside down; while sometimes it was spot-on.
He was always weird like that.
“What do you think of my assessment?” he asked, looking as wise as he could. Roxy trotted over to them, whining unhappily. Aiden smiled, patting the dog.

Roxanne laughed, “I haven’t known her long, but she seems like a nice girl who just doesn’t know if she fits in with our crowd. You never know- maybe Pierce will loosen her up a bit.”
Taylor laughed at the comment made about Pierce, as she thought that Roxanne meant ‘loosen her up a bit’ meaning something sexually related. Roxanne stared at Taylor oddly, but once she got why she was laughing she gave out an “Oh my god, Tay- that’s nasty!” and a little punch. Not slap- no, Roxanne did not slap.
“But- if you want to keep doing research on the new girl, Dr. Aiden- I think you should go for it…” She paused, “and with the whole Pierce situation… if she likes him- hopefully she knows what she’s getting into.”
Taylor stopped and looked at her friend, “and by that you mean: she better realize that she’s stepping into your territory?” Roxanne shook her head at this, “He’s not my territory- we’re just friends. Damn.”
Taylor gave her a ‘uh huh’ before giving Aiden a glance as if wanting his input.
