Perfection

Chapter 5

What the hell is this?" I ask quizzically holding Jaxton's  phone out for him to see. "You're going out with Bella!"

"I'm going out with her on one date. On one date," He corrects. "One innocent date." 

"No, not just one innocent date," I poke Jax in the chest. "You know I don't like her. Does that mean anything to you?" 

"Not really, no." He replies softly,  "It's just one date, give her a chance."

"Fine," I sigh heavily, to make sure he gets my disapproval. "Just don't do anything that I wouldn't do." 

"What's that supposed to mean?" He takes out his phone to text Bella back. Ugh, what's gotten into him this week?

  I go up to the couch Chance is sitting on and clear my throat. Piper quickly understands and goes to sit with Reyna and Keaton. I look at everyone sitting in the little semi- circle that the couches create.   

"Anyways," I say trying to change the subject as I turn around. "Eva's having a party at the Haute Bleu, who wants to come?"

"Your aunts having another party at her club?" Piper sits on the couch beside Chance. He doesn't even notice, He's too into his COD, with the volume up much too high. "She has one at the HB almost every week..."

"Yeah, I know," I wave my hand at her dismissively.  Anyways, who's coming?" 

"I always come, princess." Chance gives me one of his dorky smiles and puts his arm around me in a warm embrace.

"Same," Sandra pronounces. "Ethan is too, right?"

"Yeah," He says putting his arm casually around her shoulders. 

"Blair," I say. "You coming?" 

"Course," She says without looking up from her phone. 

"Your aunt owns the HB?" Reyna asks in amazement. "You guys don't drink or anything, right?"

"Oh babe," Keaton says pulling her in for a hug. "You're so cute." 

"We never drink," Blair says, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "It's against the code."

"Or something," Alessia says in a mocking tone. 

Reyna looks confused as Blair snorts then burst into laughter. 

"It's ok Reyna," I say. "Some of us drink, but not all of us. If you don't, then that's fine."

I elbow Piper in the side and give her one of my iconic looks. 

"Yeah, I don't even drink that much." She says with a guilty smile.

I roll my eyes. "Anyone else coming?" I ask, holding out the invitations. 

Jaxton, Keaton, Piper, Alessia, and Roz raise their hands, Reyna is more hesitant. 

"What time is it?" She asks a little worried. "My parents are crazy, they won't let me go anywhere out of their sight."
