Hey friends! So I'm posting this the same day as the last chapter to make up for taking so long with chapter 10! This chapter and the next are ones that I've been really excited to write! It's time to get to work. ;) Enjoy~
After they were done eating it was around one in the afternoon. During the meal, the girls had listened to the boys talk about their favorite drinks, and what they thought the girls would like. They argued over what drinks would be the perfect fit for each girl. Gemma and Elicia also learned an interesting fact about who were the best bartenders in the group. They had to admit that it came as a bit of a surprise.
"Ai-chan, will you make your special drinks for our lovely guests tonight?" Reiji smiled widely at his bluenette companion. The small male shrugged, then spoke for the first time.
"One set of hands will not be enough for 13 people." He remained apathetic, just stating another fact. Tokiya nodded to the redhead next to him.
"Otoyan will help. He's good with drinks, as well." The redhead blushed, mumbling about not really being 'good' with drinks, he just had a lot of practice. The girls shook their heads, bewildered, but pleased.
Now, Elicia and Gemma were sitting in their room, contemplating what they should do until tonight. They had all agreed to meet back in the hotel lounge around 9 o'clock. They had far too much time on their hands, and were literally just sitting on their beds, halfheartedly trying to think of something to do.
"How about we nap for like four hours, then we can go out and like get our nails and stuff done for the party. And maybe we could buy new dresses, too!" Gemma knew the nap would be appealing to Elicia, and she also knew she loved shopping. Elicia nodded, approving the idea.
"Perfect. Let's sleep now. And then we'll find the cutest dresses for tonight." Gemma and Elicia nodded, and started taking off their clothes so they could sleep comfortably. Elicia put on a nightgown, and Gemma bashfully put Masato's shirt back on. Elicia wagged her eyebrows at her pink friend, and they laughed together before Gemma closed the heavy curtains, shutting out all the afternoon light, and then they climbed into their beds. They were both asleep in minutes.
"So we need to split up the duties. We need to make the suite acceptable for such flawless ladies, and we also need to decide what we want to purchase and how we're going to do this. They did say they weren't big drinkers, so maybe we should take it kind of easy." Tokiya had begun writing things down, really getting into party mode. Tonight was going to be special; he was determined to make things perfect.
"Yes, but they also said they wanted to see what it was all about. So I say we show them a really good time. Vodka, we need lots of vodka. Everyone loves vodka, after all." Ren grinned, making a mental list of all his favorite brands and flavors of vodka.
"I think it would be kind of cute to give them drinks that match them. Like for Gemma, what about pink lemonade vodka? It's pink, not to mention the contrast of sweetness and tartness, which is what I imagine Gemma to taste like." The redhead's voice faded a bit at the end, a pink blush rising to his cheeks.
"Oh, I like that, Otoya-kun. Good idea." Masato patted Otoya's shoulder, and then looked up. "What about Elicia, then? And how are we going to decorate this place?" The bluenette looked around, a look of disgust on his face. The place was by no means dirty, but in his mind, it was not good enough for his pink goddess.
"Blue raspberry vodka for Elicia. It's delicious, and blue." Syo said simply, shrugging his shoulders. The others nodded, and the members of Quartet Night, plus Otoya, began compiling a list of other drinks they'd get, while the rest of them set to work on making their suite look elegant and clean.
Gemma woke up suddenly and looked toward the window, where she could see just a faint sliver of the fading sunlight. She checked the alarm clock by the bed; it was just after five. 'Right on schedule.' She thought as she threw the covers off and swung her legs over the side of the bed. She then pulled all the covers off of her still sleeping best friend and pulled the curtains open. She couldn't help but frown at the less than dramatic act, considering the sun was barely up anymore. So she turned all the lights in the hotel room on, smiling contentedly when she heard Elicia groan.
"Is it already five? I'm still sleepy Gems." Elicia lazily struggled to re-cover herself with the down blanket, but Gemma pulled it completely off the bed, then began putting the outfit from earlier back on. She had to admit, she was super excited for tonight. It was going to be hilarious seeing the looks on their faces when they out drank them. She laughed silently, then looked at her tealette friend who laid face down on the bed.
"Leeeessy, get up! We have to go find fabulous dresses and get our nails done! Chop, chop!" Gemma clapped her hands, and Elicia finally rose from the bed. She didn't speak as she put her outfit back on, but soon she was smiling, as she too thought of the fun in store for tonight. "Tonight is going to be hilarious. We're gonna wreck them. They're never gonna know what hit them." Elicia grinned, brushing her hair hurriedly, ready to go out and find some hot ass dresses to impress the boys with. Gemma laughed and agreed, and soon they were walking out the front entrance to the hotel, with faces full of determination.
"Do you think this all looks okay? Will they be impressed?" Otoya looked around at the suite, which wasn't totally transformed, but enough to tell that work was involved. The lighting was low, and the bar was set up beautifully, champagne flutes stacked up and waiting, along with intricate shot glasses in the back, just in case the girls wanted to try it. Ai and Otoya had finished their jobs early, so they were already sitting back behind the bar, wearing their outfits for the night. The redhead and cyan haired boy were chatting softly, discussing what they thought about the girls and the drinks.
Tokiya looked over everything, and nodded with satisfaction. Everything was much cleaner, including all of the individual rooms. "Good work. The rest of us can probably go ahead and get dressed, even though it's still a little early." He disappeared into his room to get dressed.
Masato stood in his room, looking in the mirror. He couldn't stop thinking about Gemma. What would she wear tonight? Would she wear her hair up or down? Would she like what they did with the suite? He did feel a little uneasy about being around her while drinking, especially since he had no idea how she would react with alcohol. He sighed, looking away from the mirror and sitting on a chair. 'Get ahold of yourself.'
In a few rooms over, Syo was adjusting his hat over and over again, getting more and more frustrated every time. "Agh! Why can't I just get it right!" Syo turned away from the mirror angrily, right as Natsuki walked in.
"Syo-chan, what's wrong? Are you nervous about tonight? I bet Elli-chan is going to look beautiful." The taller male closed his eyes and smiled, and Syo punched his arm.
"Shut up. I'm not nervous, I just can't get my hat to look right." The smaller male looked away, and Natsuki picked his hat up and placed it back down delicately. Syo reluctantly looked into the mirror to find his hat positioned perfectly on his head. "You're unbelievable.."
Elicia and Gemma sat side by side at a nail salon, both giddy with excitement.
"We literally found the most perfect dresses ever. We're going to look so hot." Gemma winked at her best friend, while the woman in front of her painted an intricate light pink flower on her ring finger, over her already french manicured nails.
"I don't know how we got so lucky. Seriously. They're going to be blown away by how perfect we look." Elicia had opted for black acrylic nails with tiny gold beads on her ring fingers. Gemma's were done first, and she checked the time on her phone.
"Shit, it's already almost eight. We need to get back to the hotel and change." The woman doing Elicia's nails finished not long after that, and then they headed back to the hotel.
…
"How do I look?" Gemma came out from the bathroom in her complete outfit, and Elicia's eyes widened. Gemma wore the same face as she took in her best friend's full look.
"We're fucking beautiful. Damn. I'd do us." Gemma shook her head, then joined Elicia at the mirror to do a final look over. Elicia pulled her phone out and checked the time.
"Alright, it's 8:57. Let's go." Gemma nodded and they made their way down to the hotel lounge.
Eleven finely dressed men stood, waiting on their princesses. They heard the ding of the elevator, followed by the click of heels. When the two girls came into view, eleven mouths popped open in awe.
Elicia's teal hair was wavy, and she wore a golden flower crown around her forehead. She wore a very short black cutout dress with thin straps. The cutouts were on the sides, looping around to the top portion that was separate from the bottom half in the back, with a zipper holding it together. The black did a wonderful job at showing off her lightly tanned skin. She stood in soft golden heels, the same shade as the flowers. Some of the guys looked over her hungrily, while one or two looked away, a blush on their cheeks.
Gemma looked just as stunning. Her hair was pulled up in a ballerina bun with loose pink curls falling around her face. She wore the exact same flower crown, but in white. Her dress was off white, with very faint balloon like objects patterning it, in various pale colors. The neckline dropped extremely low, almost halfway down her stomach, making it obvious she wasn't wearing a bra. The straps thinned as they went up, and in the back they were tiny intricate straps that rested on her shoulder blades. She wore light pink strappy wedge booties that made her legs appear longer as well. Almost her entire back was exposed, and a few other guys were biting their lips in anticipation.
"Are you guys okay? Shall we go ahead?" Gemma blinked innocently, tilting her head to the side. Even Ren found himself swallowing nervously. Tokiya took Gemma's hand and led her toward the elevator, and Camus found himself taking Elicia's hand and guiding her the same way. Both of the girls were sickeningly nervous, but were doing a fabulous job at hiding it. The ride up to the penthouse was agonizingly awkward, and the girls began to wonder if this was really a good idea. Little did they know, they were about to kick off one of the best nights of their lives.
