"should we stop them?" Gina whispers

"who the fuck let them drink so much?" Carlos whisper shrieks. Nini's and Madi's muffled giggling heightens at the sight in front of them. Ricky and EJ have gotten insanely drunk and are now monkey dancing around Los's very expensive glass coffee table with face paint on (courtesy of Kourtney) to reverse a "curse" that has been cast upon them.

"I have a four year old upstairs and TWO children coming tomorrow get these idiots out of here right now and make sure they're completely sober for tomorrow!" Carlos says in a high pitch. "Deep breaths sweetie deep breaths" Sebbie says, signaling for everyone to leave.

Jet drives Kourtney home, Gina takes EJ home; Nini's driving Ricky's car, she's dropping Madi to Ashlyn's apartment and then Ricky.

Nini and Madi strap Ricky into the passenger seat, Madi sits in the back with Cosmo in her lap. Being very drunk seems to make Ricky act even more childish than usual.

"you're soooooooooooooooo preeteetttyyyetyeyyyy" he slurs, the side of his face leaning against the headrest of the seat as he stares at Nini. Madi smiles trying not to laugh. Nini looks back at Madi through the mirror scrunching up her nose. "and perfect your'ere sso perfedct like an angel" he mutters out giggling incoherently as Nini's face turns darker shades of red. "and that night on the couch when- when I was in your crop top I wante- I wanted to-"

"OKAY RICKY LOOK AT COSMO" she shrieks out before he finishes his sentence. Ricky turn his head to the back seat and immediately lights up. "MY LITTLE BABY" he grabs the poor cat from her comfortable position in Madi's lap and start smothering her with kisses till she yelps and jumps into the drivers seat, settling in Nini's lap. Madi's laughing uncontrollably in the back seat.

"Oh well would you look at that! we're at Ash's place, bye bye Madi farewell!!!" Nini rushes.

"I'm gonna remind you of this when you say 'just friends' again" "shut up we are just friends"

"uhuh sure love, anyways Gi and I will be there at like 8 tomorrow for IKEA tomorrow morning." Madi says.

"oh shoot that, right one sec" Nini grabs her bag and takes out a key. "spare key wake me up" she says tossing the key to Madilyn as she gets out of the car. "Okay bye! goodnight guys!"

Nini drives away, then it hits her. "If I drive you home in your car how the heck am I getting home in the middle of the night?" He doesn't respond, he's just staring at her all smiley. "My place is closer, you can just stay over again." she decides and drives to her tiny apartment.

When they get there she struggles to get him upstairs while she carries Cosmo. She tries to support him with her tiny frame, after 8 minutes of climbing staircases they finally get to her door. She unlocks the door, putting Cosmo down; Cosmo immediately runs over to the little cat bed and extra set of cat bowls that now permanently resided in Nini's aesthetic shoebox of an apartment.

He wobbles in after her, falling over trying to untie his shoes which makes her laugh. "I'm gonna go change goofball I'll be right back" she tells him walking into the bathroom and closing the door gently.

She changes into shorts and an oversized t-shirt that she's pretty sure is Ricky's, and loosely ties her hair up in a bun. She takes off her make up and washes her face before grabbing the make up wipes from sink to wipe Ricky's face paint off.

She freezes when she opens the door, he's standing in the middle of her apartment shirtless with his head stuck in his t-shirt. She stares unintentionally for a while, he gets the t-shirt off his head and proceeds to take his jeans off.

"RICHARD WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" she yells, snapping out of her thoughts. He stands there in his boxer shorts that have tiny flowers on them and says "sleep" before jumping onto her couch. "No wait" she says walking to kitchen and getting a glass of water. "Sit up" she hands him the cup "The water is bland" "drink Ricky" he finishes the cup and puts it on the side table. She turns off the main light, leaving her moon lamp on. He sits at the edge of the sofa bed while she stands in front of him attempting to wipe the face paint off.

He gently grips her waist and pulls her onto his lap, causing her to straddle him; she has no idea how to react but out of all the things she's feeling, unsafe is not one of them. She sits on his lap giggling at his random mumbling and she gently wipes his face. "you're my favvvoooorite person ace.." he slurs softly "yeah?" "mhm, and I love your hair"

"you love my hair?" she chuckles lightly, she's done wiping his face but they haven't moved. "Mhm its soft.. and.. and it smells like lavender.. and I love how you are with Jamie.. and how..how you play with your necklace when you're thinking...and how you tie your hair in pretty ribbons..and your voice.." he gazes at her, untying her hair and running his fingers through it slowly. He places his hands on her hips and pulls her as close to him on his lap as he can; she's surprised, all of this being completely new to her. The mood changes, he's no longer giggly like a kid, he's looking at her with soft eyes, like she's the only person in the whole world.

She's never seen him so vulnerable, not in this way.. she's looking at him, playing with his curls absent-mindedly. "Nini.. do you trust me?" he asks quietly. "yes I do" she answers almost immediately. He brings his mouth to her neck and places a soft kiss on it. "Is..isss this okay?" he asks, slurring slightly. She goes wide-eyed, she's surprised by it, she's never been kissed by anyone lovingly.. and he's never tried to kiss her neck before, not even her cheek; she considers saying no simply because he's completely dazed but she doesn't want him to stop.

"Nini..?" "yes, yes I'm okay with it" she whispers. He brings his lips back to her neck, slowly peppering kisses all over.. slowly intensifying as they continue. She tugs gently at his hair which makes him let out a low groan and tilts her head, giving him better access. He sucks on her neck slow and soft for a while, causing quiet breathy moans to slip from her mouth.

When he stops they're both completely in a daze, staring at each other. He wraps his arms around her suddenly and rolls over till they're laying on the couch giggling. She lays flat on her back as he throws an arm and leg over, nuzzling close and burying his face into her neck. She tries to cover them in a blanket considering the air conditioning was on and he's literally half naked. He stays snuggled up to her.. before dozing off completely he mumbles into her ear.

"you feel like home"

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
