"SIS YOU READY?" Eric shouted as he stepped into the condo.
"ALMOST…. DID RACHEL LEAVE YET? Shelby shouted from her bedroom.
"YEAH I SAW THEM ON MY WAY UP."
"I BET THEY LOOKED ADORABLE."
"Not the words I'd use." Eric mumbled as he grabbed the remote control and flopped down on the couch. "HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA TAKE?"
"I JUST HAVE TO PUT MY MAKE UP ON."
"SO WE'LL BE ANOTHER HOUR?"
"GO TO HELL." Shelby sing shouted and Eric couldn't help but laugh at the answer. The perks of having a sibling, he flipped on the TV and flipped through the channels until he came across a show talking about the next boxing match. Halfway through the program Shelby finally came out of her room. "You ready to go?" She asked as she kicked her brother's feet off her coffee table.
"I was ready half an hour ago." Eric muttered as he kept his attention on the TV. "What the hell took so long?"
"Couldn't find the right dress."
"What? I thought you said you only needed to put your make up on?"
"Which I did, but then I noticed that my lipstick didn't match my top which meant I had to change it, but then the top didn't match the leggings so they had to go and I'm so not wearing jeans so I had to find the right dress. What do you think?" Eric turned to look at his sister who was wearing a red cocktail dress that for his standards was to low in all areas to be considered a legal but he wasn't about to get into an argument with his older sister about that. He still had nightmares of the great tank top war of 75. He then began to try and remember of where he'd seen the familiar dress.
"Where did you get that?" He asked as he stood up and circled around the brunette.
"Santana's closet."
"Well that explains my next question, but sets up a list of a whole bunch of new ones."
"Which are?" Eric took a deep breath as he looked into his sister's eyes.
"Well the most important one is…. How did you manage to squeeze into that thing?" He laughed as he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. "What the hell was that for?"
"I squeezed into this dress just fine thank you. You stupid jerk." Shelby glared at her still smiling brother who was rubbing the sore spot on his shoulder. "Come on I need a couple dozen drinks." She didn't even wait for an answer as she grabbed her clutch bag and stomped out of the house with a still laughing Eric right behind her. The two siblings drove around for a while before finally finding a club in downtown Columbus Ohio.
"Who would've thought we'd have to drive two hours to find a club?" Eric asked as he stretched his sore back. "Oh man I'm getting old."
"Come on Grandpa let's get our drink and dance on." Shelby and Eric made their way towards the club and after spending a good ten minutes in line watching as underage teen after underage teen got carded and rejected walked away with looks of anger and disappointment it was finally there turn to stand in front of the large buff bouncer.
"ID'S." The scruffy looking mountain of a man asked as he held his hands out. Both of the Corcoran's placed the small cards into the skillet sized hand and waited as the man looked down at the pieces of plastic before looking up at them. The two siblings just stood there and waited as the bouncer kept glancing at them then back at their ID'S before he ever so slowly moved to the side and gave them the move a long gesture.
"Thanks." Eric said as he grabbed the two ID'S from the man. "I like your stache." The man just grunted as he turned back around to face the still growing crowd. Once inside the two adults began nodding along with the various beats of music.
"THIS PLACE IS LOUD." Shelby shouted over the music.
"NO SHIT SHELL IT'S A CLUB IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE LOUD." They walked through the crowded room apologizing along the way as they bumped into several people. "LET'S GET SOME DRINKS."
"GOOD IDEA LEAD THE WAY." Shelby grabbed a hold of Eric's black dress shirt and held tight as her much taller brother parted through the crowd like a battering ram until he came to a stop. Shelby let go and walked over to her brother's side and watched as Eric was able to grab the bartender's attention over the other clubbers. "What are you having?" He asked leaning down to her level."
"Rum and Coke." She replied as she turned and surveyed the club. There were a lot of people that was for sure but the ration of women to men was clearly outmatched. "Where the hell did all these people come from?" She asked as she thought back to the population sign she saw when they arrived in Lima almost a month ago. When she felt a familiar nudge on her shoulder the woman turned her attention back to the bar where Eric was standing with a glass of coke in his hand. "Thanks."
"Sure." Was his answer as he grabbed his beer. "So…. You gonna dance?"
"In a minute." Shelby answered as she took a drink. "I'm still getting a feel for the place."
"Well while you do that." Eric noticed a curly haired blonde winking at him whom he returned with a smile and nod of his own. "I'm going to go introduce myself to the locals see you later sis."
"Whatever." The older brunette muttered. Back outside two people had finally gotten to the front of the line where they where waiting with held breaths as they watched the large ogre of a man look down at their driver's licenses then up at them, then back down at the their photographs then back up at them.
"Loose the vest." The man says in a low and very intimidating voice.
"Will get rid of your vest." The small red head whispered to the curly haired man who quickly began unbuttoning his light brown vest. The small red headed woman looked up at the giant standing in front of her with his tree trunk like arms over his chest. She gave him a small shy smile which he returned with a nod before turning to look at the now vest ridden man. He's now in a navy blue shirt that is tucked in and is all buttoned up.
"Tuck the shirt out and unbutton the top one."
"What?" Will asked with a look of disbelief.
"Will just shut up and do it." The small woman once again whisper yells at her friend who is attempting to scowl at the large man who has an amused smirk on his face. "Oh for heaven's sake."
"Emma what the hell." Will shrieked which earn a loud barked out laugh from the bouncer as he watched the small red head un-tuck the shirt so that it was now freely hanging and unbuttoned the first two buttons from his shirt.
"There." The man hands the licenses back to Emma who happily takes them. "Can we go inside now…. Ryder?" The bouncer moves to the side and gestures for the two of them to pass on by. "Thank you."
"No sweat little lady. Just make sure your boyfriend doesn't put on the vest again."
"Oh he's not my boyfriend." Emma quickly said with a smile. "He's just a friend who I don't see at all sexually." Ryder just snorted and shook his head. "Come on Will you promised cocktails." Will just passed by and was almost to the door when he suddenly felt a very heavy object on his shoulder.
"Leave the vest." Will and the Ryder stare at one another before the curly haired man sighs and hands over the article of clothing. "Don't worry It'll be out here when you get back." After a moment of staring at the large man Will finally relents and hands over the white vest to Ryder who just smiles. "Enjoy your night." Once inside the club the two friends made their way through the traffic shouting off apologies and sending smiles of sorry until they had finally made their way to the bar.
"WHAT ARE YOU DRINKING?" Will shouts over the loud music.
"MARTINI." Emma shouted which in all fairness really sounded like she would be talking regularly.
"GOTCHA." While Will tried to flag down a bartender Emma looked surveyed the dance floor. She had recently called her wedding with a man she thought she was in love with but after meeting will and talking to him about the whole situation he helped her realize just what type of life she would end up living and she didn't like that outcome at all so she called it off and it felt like it had been the best decision she'd ever made in her life. Well that was until she started getting lonely. She looked over at her friend who was still trying to get the female bartenders attention which wasn't going so well considering that the woman had been doing everything possible to avoid him. She felt bad William Shuester wasn't a bad guy sure he had a weird obsession with sweater vests and spent a little more time than necessary in front of the mirror looking at his hair but other than those two things there really wasn't anything bad about him.
"FINALLY." She heard him shout. "HERE YOU ARE." Just as will was about to hand Emma her drink she felt somebody bump into him from behind making him spill both his beer and Emma's drink onto the unsuspecting red head.
"ERIC YOU BABOSO LOOK WHAT YOU DID." They heard a woman shout from behind them. Will slowly turned around while Emma just looked up from her soaked red blouse. To see two pair of chocolate brown eyes staring back at them. "OH MY GOD, ESTAS BIEN?" The brunette asked as she quickly went over to the red head who was still staring down at her ruined blouse.
"MY BAD MAN I SWEAR IT WASN'T INTENTIONALL." The taller man shouted to Will who just nodded.
"ERIC I'LL BE RIGHT BACK." Eric gave Shelby a nod as he and Will watched the two girls disappear into the crowd. The two men just stood by the bar in an awkward silence watching as someone quickly walked over and wiped away the spill with a rag before scurrying out of the way. After five minutes of just watching as woman after woman walked by and winked, waived or smiled at them The taller man decided to break the ice.
"I'M REALLY SORRY ABOUT THAT MAN. I SWEAR I DIDN'T."
"IT'S ALRIGHT." The shorter man cut in. "IT'S A CLUB A BUNCH OF PEOPLE SOMETHING'S BOUND TO HAPPEN."
"WELL LET ME MAKE IT UP TOO YOU AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND."
"OH SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND." The curly haired man quickly cut in. "BEEN THERE BETTER OFF AS FRIENDS."
"OH I JUST."
"IT'S ALRIGHT."
"I MEAN SHE'S VERY PRETTY."
"YEAH? WELL I MEAN YOUR GIRL-"
"WOAH NO, NO, NO, THAT'S MY SISTER. I'M NOT… YOU KNOW."
"OH." Will said with a laugh of relief. "THAT'S UH GOOD RIGHT? YEAH THAT'S GOOD." The taller man looks at the shorter one for a second before sticking his hand out.
"ERIC."
"WILL."
"BUY YOU A BEER?"
"SURE." Eric turned and motioned to the bartender who quickly came over and handed him two beers. In the bathroom Emma and Shelby we're huddled over a hand dryer with a bunch of napkins trying to dry off the blouse."
"I'm so sorry about that." Shelby apologizes once again as she dabs the wet spot on the blouse with the wadded up napkin.
"It's alright you're boyfriend didn't mean."
"Ok firstly he's not my boyfriend that's just… Nasty he's my brother who as of right now owes you so many drinks it's not even funny. Secondly it's not alright, spilling a perfectly good Martini is never alright." At this the red head could only laugh as she nodded her head.
"I'm Shelby by the way."
"Emma." The two women shake hands before going back to drying the shirt.
"Well Emma that's about as good as it's going to get. Just make sure to dry clean it as fast as you can. The smell is going to be a little off putting though. I hope your boyfriend doesn't mind"
"Oh Will's not my boyfriend. I mean we did give it a go but…. Yeah to awkward we're just better off as friends."
"Good to know. Now we need something to cover the smell."
"Here." The two women turn to see a blonde with purple highlights holding a small glass bottle. "I've been in this situation before and it's better to try and cover then walk around smelling like a frat house." The two other women laughed at the joke as Shelby grabbed the bottle from the woman and quickly sprayed the air. Emma walked thru the mist and smiled when she noticed the strong smell of liquor and beer were replaced by Coco Channel number 5.
"Thank you." Emma said as she handed the bottle back to the woman who just smiled before walking out of the bathroom.
"Come on Emma my brother owes both of us a drink." The red head just nodded as she followed the taller brunette out of the bathroom, passed the several intoxicated dancers until they finally made their way back to the bar. The two women looked around both trying to find the men they had arrived had gone to. The beat of Jay-Z's on to the next one kept pounding from the speakers followed by Little Freak By Usher Feat. Nicki Minaj. Shelby was the first to spot Eric as he let some brunette grind against him. She gently elbowed Emma who followed her line of sight quickly spotting Will all over a blonde. "YOU THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING?"
"I'LL TAKE YOUR BROTHER."
"I'VE GOT YOUR FRIEND."
The two women gave each other one last glance before they made their way to the dance floor they reached the two guys just as Disco Inferno by 50 Cent began to play.
"I SWEAR WILL I CAN'T LEAVE YOU ALONE FOR ONE MINUTE." Shelby shouts making the curly haired man and the blonde woman jump apart. "SERIOUSLY WILLIAM I CAN'T GO CHECK ON OUR DAUGHTER WITHOUT HAVING TO FIND YOU WRAPPED AROUND SOME SKANK." Will has a bunch of things going through his head the most important ones being 'WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS CRAZY WOMAN TALKING ABOUT WHAT SON?'
He looks over to where Eric is standing to find him with the same expression as he looks down at a screaming red head who is motioning wildly with her hands.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE I CAN'T GO TO THE BATHROOM TO CHECK IN ON OUR TWINS…. THEY'RE FINE BY THE WAY AND WHO IS THIS TRASH?" 'I have twins? WHEN THE FUCK DID I GET TWINS? WHO IS THIS WOMAN?' Eric thought as he looked at the small Red Head who was looking at him with a lot of hate arms crossed over her chest he looked up to see Will staring at a brunette who had her hands on her hips. Women Lie, Men Lie by Yo Gotti Feat. Lil' Wayne started to play.
'Shelby'
'Emma'
The two women who had been dancing with Will and Eric gave the two men death glares before walking away. Eric looked over at Will who was staring at a laughing Shelby and Emma.
"SERIOUSLY SHELL?" Eric shouted over the music.
"HEY YOU DESERVE IT AFTER SPILLING EMMA'S DRINK ALL OVER HER." Eric looked down at the red head and his eyes instantly went wide. "OH SHIT THAT WAS YOU?" Emma nodded her head as she sent him a wave. "OH FUCK I'M SO SORRY HERE LET ME GET YOU A DRINK."
"I'D LIKE THAT." Emma answered as she grabbed Eric's arm letting him lead her back towards the bar. Will was still looking at Shelby.
"HEY." He heard someone shout but he was a little preoccupied with staring at a pair of amazing tanned legs. "UP HERE BUDDY." His eyes met with hers and they both smiled at one another.
"BUY YOU A DRINK?" Shelby nodded and the two of them made their way towards the bar where Eric and Emma where. "I'M WILL BY THE WAY."
"SHELBY." Over at the Bar Eric had just handed Emma her drink which she happily took.
"I'M ERIC." He said sticking his hand out.
"EMMA." The woman answered as she shook his hand. "SORRY ABOUT THAT BACK THERE."
"IT'S ALRIGHT." Eric waived his hand to make a point. The four adults spent the rest of the night talking and drinking and by the time two in the morning rolled around Emma and Shelby we're completely drunk.
"You…. You have very pretty eyes." A drunken Emma slurred as she looked up at Eric who was holding on to her. "Seriously it's like your looking into my soul."
"Alright there deep thinker why don't we find a place that serves some strong coffee." Eric said with a chuckle. "How we doing Will?"
"We're walking." Will answered as he kept a firm grip around Shelby's waist.
"Hey buddy don't try nothing frisky alright." Shelby happily slurred as she moved Will's hand up her waist. "I've got a brother who'll more than happily…. Kick. *low burp* Excuse me. He'll kick your ass."
"No I won't." Eric said from where he was standing at. "Come on Sleeping beauty in you go."
"Hm. You called me sleeping beauty." The tall man couldn't help but chuckle as he helped the smaller woman into the car. "Can I kiss you?" The question made Eric chuckle which quickly disappeared when he saw the fallen look on Emma's face. "A simple no would've done just fine."
"Hey, hey, No, no I wasn't laughing at you." Eric said kneeling down "I swear I wasn't."
"Then why'd you chuckle?"
"Well think about it. Having a drunken kiss with a very handsome but still complete stranger what are we in a romantic comedy?"
"No I guess not."
"I'll tell you what gorgeous."
"What?" Emma asked giggling. Eric reached for Emma's phone.
"If you remember me when you wake up and are sober. Give me a call."
"And if I don't?" The red head asked with a smile.
"Well." Punching his phone number into her cell phone. "If that happens I'll call you." Eric hit dial on Emma's phone and waited till he heard his phone start ringing.
"Well let's hope I forget." Emma whispered as she grabbed her cell phone.
"Goodnight Sleeping Beauty."
"Goodnight Prince Charming." Eric slowly closed the door making sure not to hit or bother the now passed out red head. He walked over to his black GMC Denali where Will was currently placing Shelby into the passenger seat.
"You're so strong." Shelby slurred as she ran her hands down Will's chest. "I'd like to get to see what's underneath that shirt. What do you say coming back to my place?"
"Oh…. Uh no thank you." Shelby's mood changed in an instant which Will found out by the hard shove he was given.
"What I'm not good enough for you? Is this dress not tight enough?" Eric who was almost at his car turned back around clearly not wanting to hear any of this conversation.
"It's not that Shelby." Will said as he took a couple of tentative steps back towards the fuming brunette. "I think you are very beautiful and trust me when I tell you that your dress is at the height I like but."
"But what?" The woman snapped.
"Shelby I'm not the type of guy to have relations with a woman while she's heavily intoxicated. I'm the type of guy that takes you to a movie and dinner possibly dancing and if the mood is right at the end of the night if sex is still an option I'll gladly show you a real good time."
"Well give me your phone." Will looks at the outstretched hand for a moment before reaching into his pockets and pulling out his cell phone. "Call me when you wish to make full of these promises."
"Seriously?"
"Yes seriously I'm not that type of woman anyway." Eric couldn't help but snort which he quickly covered up by coughing. "I'll be waiting your call."
"Of course."
"G'night Will."
"Night Shelby." Will walked backwards until he spotted Eric who was leaning against the Denali. The taller man shot him a wave before walking over to the driver's side and hopped in. "Eric."
"Yeah Shell?"
"I'm hungry Can we stop and get some food?"
"Sure thing sis." Will watched as the car drove away into the night. He looked over at Emma who was sleeping peacefully and had a smile on her face.
"Let's hope you remember tonight Em." Will said to himself as he started up his car. "Let's hope Shelby remembers me too."
"So how was your date?" Santana asked her still smiling Sister who was currently watching up at the stars.
"It was beautiful, Brittany went all out…. How was yours?"
"It went good Quinn is awesome and I think she's the only one that has come close to beat me in Soul Caliber."
"Oh god she's one of those isn't she?"
"One of what?" Dro asked as he kept breaking up the small nugget of weed.
"She's into video games." Santana answered with a proud smirk.
"NICE." Rachel rolled her eyes as she watched her two relatives bumping fists.
"What about you Alejandro?"
"Yeah how did your date with Stutters go?"
"It went well and my girlfriends name is Tina. Not stutters." Rachel let out a squeal while Santana let out a groan.
"Oh my god I can't believe we all have girlfriends."
"Whoa there munchkin Quinn is not my girlfriend." Santana corrected. Dro and Rachel looked at one another with raised eyebrows. "I'm serious we've had one date and unlike some desperate people." Santana eyed both of them. "I like to make sure I have things in common with someone before I give them the coveted title of Santana's girlfriend."
"Yeah well you two are huge video game nerds so there that's the most important thing now here you get greens." Rachel huffed as she crossed her arms.
"Why does she always get greens?"
"Alright fine you get greens." Now it was Santana's turn to huff.
"What that's so unfair I had greens."
"Alright you know what none of you get greens." Dro muttered before he took a hit from Poseidon "Here you go Rach you've got seconds."
"What why does she get."
"Cause she's on the left no shut up." Dro managed to say in one breath before letting out a huge puff of smoke. "Oh damn that's good weed."
"You know S." Rachel let out her hit. "You really need to.*Cough* Need to stop and Make Quinn your girlfriend. Oh man that is good stuff."
"And why is that?" Santana asked before she took her hit.
"Because that way all of us can go out on a group date you know Tripoding."
"That sounds very wrong in so many ways." Dro commented as he took the bowl from a nodding Santana. All three of them jumped when the various ringtones they had set up started to play.
STAYING AT YOUR AUNTS – TIO ERIC
"Looks like we got the place all to ourselves." Santana commented as she looked into the dark apartment.
"Yep." Rachel said looking in as well. "What should we do?"
"Tio just bought a bottle of Jack." Dro said out of nowhere.
"Well shit break it out boy."
