Alexandra and Aubrey were back in California and their engagement had gotten as awkward as it could possibly get. Alexandra would either stay in her house or conveniently sleep somewhere else in Aubrey's mansion than in bed with Aubrey himself. Aubrey stopped calling, stopped dropping by photoshoots and the Paris trip basically did nothing for them. The conversation basically pushed Alexandra away and it didn't phase Aubrey. It was like it was slowly turning him into the person that didn't care for commitment and didn't want to be bothered with the tiresome relationship perpetuated by Alexandra. Even though he was displaying a tough facade, he really just wanted Alexandra to embrace the relationship and stop being shy and constantly playing the side. Of course he wasn't gonna be alone but nothing would be the same if they just knew how to communicate.
One night Alexandra had enough awkwardness and sulking and decided to go out drinking. Hard core drinking. In Las Vegas. Her friends knew exactly what she was doing and it annoyed them but Kimberly and Halima stayed with her. After a few hours Alex was too drunk to stand and the two girls had to drag her to the bathroom. When they got there the two started to panic.
Kimberly (force feeding Alexandra some crackers): Why the hell did she get so drunk?!
Halima (Scrolling through Alexandra's iPhone): I think I have an idea why.
Alexandra had previously vented to Halima about what was going on with them two but no one knew what was fully going on with them. It was starting to seem like neither did they. Their relationship has become so slapdash.
She found Aubrey's number and called him.
Alexandra sat on the sink leaning against the mirror half conscious. Her hair was mildly displaced but other than that she looked completely in tact. She just couldn't keep her eyes open. Kimberly tried to do all she could to keep her conscious because she could tell Alexandra had a small case of alcohol poisoning. Close to an hour later, Aubrey burst into the woman's bathroom.
Aubrey: How is she?
He ran over to Alexandra who was falling off of the sink. He managed to catch her mid fall.
Kimberly: She got drunk out in the middle of Vegas. What a catch.
Alexandra (Slurring her words): You wanted me to stop being shy so this is the best I could do.
She breathed her hot and vodka smelling breath in Aubrey's face and laid her head on his shoulder.
Halima: We're staying at a resort a couple minutes from here.
Aubrey, Kimberly and Halima snuck Alexandra out of the back of the club with the help of the owner and drove her to the Alexis Park Resort. They were staying in the Regal 2 story suite, a suite that Alexandra booked for their girls weekend out of town. Aubrey, Kimberly and Halima carried Alexandra into the suite and rested Alexandra on the bed, Aubrey took off her ankle boots. And sat on the edge of the bed.
Aubrey: Can you give us a minute?
Halima and Kimberly went to the other part of the suite, leaving Alexandra and Aubrey alone.
Aubrey (Turned away from Alexandra): Why did you do this? Why do you keep doing this to us? I can't always come to your rescue.
Alexandra sat up from her drunken stupor.
Alexandra (Slurring): Because I'm scared of ending up alone.
Aubrey turned to her with his expression less angry than before.
Aubrey: Maybe you wouldn't be afraid of being alone if you stopped pushing me away. Alex, I don't understand you sometimes.
Alexandra (A lot clearer): Like I understand you?! I don't. One minute you want a reason to slow down. The next minute you want a reason to NOT stick a 20 in some bitch's G-string.
