Bleed, Patch, And Keep Moving - An Apex Legends Story

Chapter 56 - Celebration Time

Ajay's breathing was labored as she pounded the passcode into the pin pad to get into her apartment. She got in and slammed the door behind her, pressing her back against it after it closed. "Che?" She jumped nearly 20 feet in the air again for the second time that night. "What is it with the men waitin for me in my apartment?" She watched as Octavio approached her and reached for her face. She was stunned as he removed the white mask from her face. "Crypto must have left me a souvenir." She smiled on the inside. "That was you in the game? Was that Natalie's friend with you?" Ajay pressed her finger to his lips as she gently took the mask from his grasp and tucked it into her hoodie. "I don't think it's safe to talk in the city." Octavio nodded in agreement.

Ajay nearly screamed as there was a knock on her door. She pulled her back from the door as she turned around. Her heart raced and her hand shook as she opened the door. Elliot pushed the door open and let himself in followed by Natalie who shrugged at his rude actions. "What the hell was that all about? That wasn't supposed to happen? Or was it? Was that on television? Did you see any of that Ajay?" Natalie tried to calm Elliot down as Ajay shut the door. Elliot laughed a little, "So this is your place?" Octavio smiled, "So trickster has never been here?" He placed his hand on Ajay's waist as she nodded to Elliot. Natalie smiled, "It's lovely."

Elliot's face dropped. "Wait. What? You t. T. T. Two are engaged?" He pointed to the ring on Ajay's finger. Ajay raised her hand up and smiled as she looked at the beautiful ring on her finger, "Yah." Natalie smiled, "Isn't it nice." She pointed to Ajay's ring as Ajay held it up. Elliot rolled his eyes, "I guess. You can see that thing from outer space." Natalie kicked Elliot in the leg. "Come on Nat!" He rubbed his leg. Natalie shook her head, "Should we go celebrate my first game and your engagement?" Octavio smiled, "Sure amigos!" He whispered into Ajay's ear, "Keeping up appearances." He kissed her neck. "Old Nessie?" Ajay suggested and Natalie jumped for joy, "That sounds like fun!" Ajay did not want to get stuck at Elliot's place again.

Natalie pushed Elliot out of Ajay's apartment as Elliot got on his phone to text everyone the address of the party. The rain was falling harder outside; Ajay hadn't noticed early in her haste. They all rushed over to the bar which wasn't too far away. Natalie stopped outside of the bar and took in the neon lights. She got a selfie of her and Ajay in front of the large neon Nessie before they entered. Anita, Renee, and Makoa had already secured everyone a table at the back of the bar with shots ready. Anita smirked at them as they all piled into the corner booth, "Congrats kids." Makoa grabbed Ajay's hand and took a look at the ring, "Very nice." She smiled and gazed at the ring herself, she loved it. "God Makoa, enough with the lovey dovey crap. You can marry them later." Anita tapped her shot glass on the table and they all took a shot.

The whiskey burned all the way down. Makoa looked over to Elliot, who was sitting between Renee and Natalie, "When are you two tying the knot?" Ajay's eyes widen because she really didn't know which woman Makoa was referring to. Elliot laughed, "I can't get married. It wouldn't be fair to all of the women out there." Ajay watched both Renee and Natalie, neither of them really seemed to give any indication that they cared. "Weird." Ajay smiled as another round of shots were delivered to their table. "Anita must have really gave the bartender a look to get service this fast." They all picked up their glasses. "To Natalie." Ajay said as she looked at the beautiful blonde that sat next to her. They all downed the vodka that was in their shot glasses.

Ajay could feel Octavio's hand on her right thigh as she set her glass down. She blushed a little as he forced her legs open with his hand to rub her pussy through her leggings. "So when is the wedding kid?" Ajay looked at Anita, "We ain't got nothin planned yet." Octavio rubbed her a little harder as she placed her hand on top of his left thigh. His fingers were playing with her clit and it was driving her crazy. Herpanties were wet and she was holding back every urge to fuck him the table infront of everyone. Herthoughts were interrupted when another round of shots arrived at the table. Ajaycould tell that the shots were rum this time. She didn't know if she was moreexcited for the shots or what was going on underneath the table.

"What's wrong with you?" Anita looked over at Renee, who hadn't said a word since they arrived. "I just don't understand what happened." Anita shrugged. "Probably just a publicity stunt by HQ." Renee shook her head, "Nobody can shoot me when I shift." Anita gave Renee a weird look, "Let's talk about this later." Renee twitched and didn't say another word. Anita raised her shot glass and so did the others at the table. Ajay enjoyed the rum as soon as she tasted it, or maybe it was Octavio's fingers working her into an orgasm. She leaned her chin onto Octavio's shoulder, like she was hugging him and squeezed her eyes tightly, trying not make any noise as she dug her nails into his leg. She began climaxing against his fingers, working her hips softly into him. Octavio grinned as he kissed her cheek and left his hand between her legs. She kissed his shoulder before pulling in her face away.

Last call came too fast, or it must have for Anita because she ordered double shots for everyone. Ajay nudged Natalie who had her face planted on the table, "Natalie, it's time for one last shot." Ajay whisper yelled to her. Natalie was asleep. Ajay was wasted along with everyone else, except for Octavio because of his dialysis belt kept him level headed. He could catch a buzz but he was never wasted. Everyone cheered and had a drink. Ajay shrugged and drank Natalie's shot, patting her on the back.

"After party at my place!" Elliot announced. Everyone got up and left except for Octavio, Ajay, and Natalie. Ajay watched Natalie sleep on the table and it made her feel tired, "Silva we could just sleep here." She started to place her head on the table. "Nope!" He forced her head back up with his hand, "Come on Che, while you're awake please." He stood up and pulled Natalie up, throwing her over his shoulder. Ajay followed him like a zombie as they walked back to her apartment. Ajay tried several times to punch the passcode into her pin pad at her apartment door before she gave up and let Octavio do it. They all entered but Ajay only made it as far as the sofa and fell down onto it. Octavio put Natalie in Ajay's bed and then laid down on the sofa adjacent to Ajay after covering up both of the women.

It was pretty early when Ajay heard Octavio's voice, "Che. Wake up. Che." She pried her eyes open. The room was somber, the morning light was just barely coming in through the shades, "Silva?" Her head hurt, a splitting pain down the base of her skull. Octavio rubbed her hand, "We have to report to HQ in two hours." Ajay sat up and immediately regretted it. She held the back of her head as it pulsed black waves through her vision. She spoke through staggered breathing, "Why?" Octavio stood up, "Probably because of the glitch in the system last night. But they wouldn't say."

Ajay managed to get up, "Where is Natalie?" Octavio helped Ajay as she stood up, "I sent her home to get ready. But you need to get yourself together." Ajay looked at him, "I don got a fancy machine like ya." She offered him a smile. He smirked back at her, "Yeah. Well if I didn't have this baby then I would have died a long time ago." She laughed and made her way to the bathroom. She ripped opened one of the drawers and found a bottle of narcotics and took two pills out, taking them with some water. She peeled off her hoodie, and heard a clunk. She peered down at the white mask on the floor. She sighed and picked it up. She debated if it was worse to leave it at her apartment or take it with her to HQ.

She took the rest of her clothes off and got into the shower before changing into fresh clothes. She threw on another hoodie over the clothing she was wearing and tucked the mask safely inside. She didn't want anyone from Apex coming over and ransacking her apartment. She was starting to feel crazy but this whole thing was crazy. "Get ya shit together." She took a deep breath and they both left together for HQ.
