Bad Idea (Kaylor) | Completed

Chapter 5: Roleplay & Halloween

          

"What are you supposed to be?" Taylor asked, laughing a little as she looked over her friend. Cara had re-entered the room in a skintight white bodysuit, with a zipper down the front and small American flag patches on the arms. 

"Are you a stripper ghost?" Gigi laughed, giving her friend another once over before laughing again. "Yeah, I'm going with stripper ghost." Cara glared at both of them, and pointed to a patch on her chest that said NASA. 

"So, a NASA stripper ghost?" Gigi asked slowly. 

"I'm a sexy astronaut! Goddamn, do you guys know me at all?" Cara huffed. 

"Okay hold on, how were we supposed to know there's a such thing as a sexy astronaut costume?" Taylor laughed. September had come and gone in a haze of past due papers and late night walks alone, just like October had, in dropping temperatures and closed doors. She couldn't help but wonder where the time went. 

"Come on Taylor, there's a sexy version of every costume nowadays." Cara said.

"It's true." Gigi agreed. "I saw a sexy Ebola nurse like two years ago." 

"And it's been way too long, so, I'm trying to get laid tonight." Cara said with a confident smirk. 

"Shouldn't you have worn something a little more accessible? Like, what if the moment strikes? What's the guy gonna do, spend ten minutes trying to peel it off of you?" 

"If he's cute enough, I'll let him take ten minutes to peel it off." Cara said, they all laughed. 

"Are you open to girls? Because I hear Taylor is single and desperate." Gigi asked. 

"I am not desperate." Taylor defended. "Just very painfully single." She laughed. Cara looked her over, then back to Gigi. 

"Eh, she's cute and all, but I prefer brunettes." Cara winked, Gigi rolled her eyes. "Speaking of Taylor being single and desperate-" Cara said, ignoring Taylor's glare. "Is sexy Miss Karlie coming tonight?" She wiggled her eyebrows at her friend. 

"No, and please God do not call her that again." Taylor laughed. 

"Boo, why not?" Cara pouted. 

"Why isn't she coming? Or why shouldn't you call her that?" Taylor asked. 

"Why isn't she coming? Duh." Cara said obviously, dropping down to take a seat on her bed. 

"She said Halloween gets crazy in the dorms and she has to make sure people aren't getting out of hand." Taylor sighed. The conversation had gone like every other time she'd invited Karlie to come to a party with her, initial resistance, bargaining, and finally, acceptance. Until of course she realized the party was on Halloween. 

"At least we won't have to deal with her and Zayn giving each other weird looks all night." Gigi said. 

"Yeah, what the fuck is up with that?" Cara asked, looking between her two friends for answers. 

"I have no idea." Taylor said. "Every time I ask her about it she just says something like, that's a story for another day, or I'll tell you eventually, or leave it alone."

"Do you think they're like, exes?" Cara asked, a scandalous hint to her tone. Taylor's gaze flicked to Gigi, who looked like she had been wondering the same thing but was too nervous to ask.

"She said they weren't." Taylor said. "And she seemed super grossed out by the idea of it." She laughed. 

"You actually asked her?" Gigi asked Taylor, eyes widened.
