Living La Vida Loca - Harry Lewis & ChrisMD

Chapter 12: Odds On

-Kyla's POV-

I get a text from Harry telling me they're pulling up to the house.

"Oh my God, they're here," I whisper-yell, pressing record on Chip's camera. Talia, Freya, Evelyn, and I get in position, and when Chip walks in through the front door, we all scream, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY."

Chip actually looks shocked as he takes in all of the decorations.

"Thank you. This place looks fucking incredible," Chip says, and I can tell the rest of the guys are impressed too. Chip's eyes catch on the inflatable monkey, "That. That is my favorite decoration."

"I thought it might be," Evelyn laughs. Talia runs over with a bag in her hands, "Now it's time for you to get changed."

"Changed?" Chip asks.

"Yes, changed," Talia replies, shoving the bag into his hands. Chip takes it and heads to the nearest bathroom. As soon as he opens the bag, we hear him scream, "No fucking way."

He walks out a minute later in a hot pink crop top and a matching tutu. Everyone loses it as he starts posing in his new outfit.

"You look hot, Chip," Chris says as he covers his laugh with his hand.

"Thank you, Christopher. I have never felt more confident," Chip states.

"Am I going insane or does Chip kinda look fit?" Ethan asks and JJ raises his eyebrows.

"I don't know. I kinda think he looks like a rat," JJ replies causing Chip's jaw to drop.

"Woah, bro. How are you going to do that to him on his birthday," Simon says and JJ laughs with his hands up in defense.

We get the group to head to the kitchen where we put together a special drink, which we deemed the Chippo Crimes Cocktail. Freezy makes a short speech about Chip before we all take a large sip of the drink. I try not to gag at the strong taste, and I nearly lose it as everyone else is doing the same.

"I think I may have put too much vodka in," Freya admits, coughing.

"Give me two more glasses of this, and I'll be gone for the rest of the vacation," Vik laughs, "It's so strong."

I down the drink quickly to get it over with, when I suddenly remember the camera I left in the other room. I run in and turn it off before heading back to the kitchen. I walk over to Chip and put it in his hand, "Here's footage for your channel. You can record anything else you want, but I at least captured your reaction. Merry Christmas."

"Kyla, I think I could kiss you right now," Chip says as he hugs me.

I laugh, "Please don't."

"Kyla, odds on you downing two of these Chippo Cocktails," Freezy says as he stumbles over with Evelyn. I have no idea where the guys went before this, but it seems like they're all already tipsy.

"Uh, 10?" I offer.

"Come on. You can do better than that," Freezy begs.

"Fine, 4?" I counter, and Freezy's eyes widen at the drop in number. He nods once and Chip counts down. At the same time, we both say, "4."

"Shit," I say as Chip and Freezy celebrate. They hand me two new glasses of the drink and I brace myself.

I hold one glass up and jokingly say, "Here's to hopefully remembering at least part of tonight."

I down both drinks, and there's a split second where I genuinely think I could throw up. The boys don't notice though as they loudly cheer. Tobi then connects his phone to the speaker and starts blasting music. As everyone drinks the cocktail, I can tell all of our goals, maybe minus Tobi, is to get drunk and to get drunk fast.
