The Elites: His Girl Zoey

Chapter 7 - The After Party

"Zoey! Come here!" Ria waved to me from across the hotel room. It was after the football game and we were all squished into one of the suites for the after game celebration.

I worked my way through sweating and grinding bodies to make it to Ria. When I got to her she whispered to me, "Upperclassmen party two floors up in Tucker's suite, you want to go?"

I looked at her like she was crazy, "Of course I want to go. Does Bethany know?"

"Yeah, she's meeting us up there." Ria responded. She put down her beer and grabbed my hand. Together we left the room and made our way up to Tuckers'.

When we got to Tucker's suite we knocked on the door, and Tucker opened it. "Ladies! So nice of you to join the upperclassmen up here. Come in come in." Ria and I laughed and walked past him.

Tucker grabbed my waist and pulled me away from Ria. "Not so fast beautiful." He planted a long, sloppy kiss on what he thought was my lips. He mostly got them, and a chunk of my hair, and my nose. Not attractive at all.

We broke apart and I saw Ria laughing. I flipped her off and smiled at Tucker. "Honey, how much have you drunk tonight?"

"Not enough babe." He gave me a squeeze and walked deeper into his suite. Ria came over to me and asked, "Is he okay? He looked like he was eating your face."

"He's really drunk, he'll be fine." I said, "Let's go get on his level." Ria and I made our way over to the drink table when we saw Bethany.

"Ladies! You made it up a floor! Welcome to the real celebration." Bethany was swaying where she was standing, clearly on the same level as Tucker.

I saw a cup in her hand and I grabbed it from her, "Maybe I should finish this for you, that ok?"

"Take it! I'll go get myself another one!" Bethany turned around looking for the drinks table. Ria quickly poured her a drink of just soda and handed it to her.

"Here you go sweetie, you can't taste the alcohol because I mixed it so well."

"Awwww, you're so sweet to me! Thanks Ria!" Bethany gave Ria a hug, spilling half of her drink on the floor in the process. Bethany let go of Ria and said, "We're all playing a game of truth or dare spin the bottle. You guys want to play?"

Ria looked at me, "I'm going to. You in?"

I looked around the room for Tucker, "Nah, I'm going to go find Tucker, but maybe later?"

"Ok, you'll know where we are. I'll be the queen until you get there." Ria and I laughed and the two of them left for the circle in the corner playing.

Tucker came out of nowhere and put a drink in my hand. "Aw thanks Tuck! You're sweet." I took the drink and sipped it.

"Zo, the night's half over, drinking like that'll keep you sober all night." He raised his eyebrows at me.

I glared back at him and chugged my drink. "That's my girl." He kissed my forehead and took my cup. He came back a moment later with another drink. "To a kickass senior year." We clinked cups and chugged together.

...

The room had long turned blurry and I stumbled through the living room looking for Tucker, I had somehow lost him among my many drinks.

I took one more look around the room and concluded that Tucker was nowhere in sight. I pulled my phone out a shot him a text. Where are you?

I waited a few and got no response. Groaning I weighed the options, he was either passed out, cheating, or he lost his phone.
