Make It Work.

The Calm.

I watched Lizzie and Karina through the mirror hanging in the living rom. They poured themselves a shot of tequila, their faces scrunching as they swallowed. 

"You sure you don't want a shot before we go?" Lizzie asked me.

Karina scoffed, "No! You know Y/N's a lightweight- remember the last time she pregamed?"

Lizzie laughed, nodding her head, "Oh yeah- she puked in the Uber."

I tried my hardest not to roll my eyes at them as I applied a little more highlight to my nose and cheekbones. Though I didn't normally get this dressed up for karaoke, but I was ready to party my life away- especially since I knew I'd be spending the weekend working on the stupid contract and building permit documents.

"I'm not a lightweight," I backed away from the mirror and walked over to the counter.

"Oh please. We all know you can't hang-" Karina started.

"And there's nothing wrong with that," Lizzie added, trying not to make me feel lame.

I bit my lip for a moment, and then I grabbed the tequila and poured myself a shot.

"Y/N...think about what you're doing..." Karina said, an eyebrow arched as she stared at me, a menacing smile on her face.

I raised the shot to my mouth, taking a minute to brace myself.

"It's the weekend!" I shouted, shutting my eyes, throwing my head back and taking the shot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our Uber pulled up to the karaoke place and we hopped out of the car. Our heels clicked in unison on the pavement, and we checked each other's outfit to make sure nothing was out of place. 

We walked into the bar and were immediately greeted by the bar tender, Wonho. 

"Hey girls," He called out as he poured a shot for a pretty blond girl who was practically drooling over him. 

Karina smiled at him, pushing her chest out ever so slightly, "Hey Wonho."

Lizzie and I laughed as we all walked up to the bar.

Karina leaned forward onto the bar, making sure her cleavage was on full display, "Wonho- could you please make us a round of iced teas?" She asked, her voice low and sultry. 

Wonho blushed, "Karina, you gotta stop. I'm at work," He laughed. 

Lizzie rolled her eyes, "Let's go get the table," she said, pulling me away from Karina and Wonho.

She and I sat down, "She's unbelievable," I laughed. 

Lizzie rolled her eyes, "Right? She sleeps with the guy once and now they're just like..." she throws her hands up in mock exasperation, "whatever that is."

Karina walked over and sat down, a smirk on her face as Wonho followed behind her, holding a tray with our drinks. 

He set them down and bowed, "M'ladies," He said. He then turned over to Karina and grabbed her hand, "My queen," He kisses it and then turns back to the bar.

Lizzie and I cannot contain our laughter and we bust out as soon as he's out of earshot.

"What?" Karina asks, an innocent look on her face as she grabs one of the iced teas and sips it.

"Yeah, what," I say with a smirk on my face.

Lizzie looks around the room and leans forward, "Is it just me, or are there like, a lot of girls today?"
