OLIVIA'S UBER PULLED UP RIGHT NEXT TO THE PRIVATE PLAN DAVID HAD HIRED. She was 20 minutes early as Zane requested and she was ready to pregame. Olivia stepped out of the car and noticed David and Jason waiting for her outside the jet.

"Jesus Olivia do you need a red carpet too?" David jokes, turning on his camera.

"Says the guy who hired a private jet because he'll get more content." Olivia teases cheekily, throwing him a short smile.

She smiles at her driver as he places her luggage beside her.

"Never stopped him before." Jason responds, chuckling.

"True." Zane appears from inside the plane, pulling Olivia into a quick hug.

"So do Natalie and Corrina want us to get fucked up for their birthday or is it a sober thing." Olivia asks as Zane also switches on for an answer.

Olivia didn't know Corrina particularly well but she had bonded with Natalie over a few brunches.

"It's a sober thing." David says and Olivia picks up her suitcase and begins walking in the opposite direction of the plane.

"Ok so we have 5 rooms and 13 people." David announces as they reached the elevator inside the hotel they were staying at.

"I swear there was 10 people on the jet." Olivia responds, vividly remembering doing a headcount on the plane.

"Olivia that was probably the alcohol fucking up your eyesight." Zane says and David and Jason chuckles.

"Jesus christ." Jeff mutters, looking at Olivia.

She throws him a reassuring smile and looks away still smiling.

They had been in a secret hookup relationship for a month now and Olivia was caught herself catching feelings, she didn't know if the relationship they had was strictly psychical or not so she didn't know whether to push them aside or embrace them.

"Ilya, John, and Mike are gonna stay at the hotel too because we'll get back late and they live with their parents." David says bringing Olivias head back up.

"How we gonna split this up?" Jason asks slinging his bag over his shoulder.

"Throw the birthday girls and reggie in a room." David suggests.

"What about the alcoholics?" Matt asks, side eying Olivia and Zane.

"That's a road bump because no one wants them but we can't put them together."

"Hey!" Zane and Olivia whine in unison.

Zane glares at Matt and wraps an arm around Olivia.

"Liv and will be together." Zane declares smiling proudly.

"Fine but Matt can chaperone you." David answers sighing in defeat.

Matt opens his mouth to argue but shuts it immediately realising there's no point.

"Just make sure they don't break any bones and I'll give you 100 bucks." David tells him.
