Andrew's POV:
Me, Garrett, Shane, Morgan and Ryland were in the elevator, Morgan's breath hitched every now and then, and the air was thick with a mixture of anticipation and tension.
"For a billionaire, she's really humble" Shane looked around at the motel as we practically all fell out the elevator.
"Yeah she's never been one to brag" I laughed as I tapped on her door. It took a few minutes before the door swung open and Elora appeared, dressed in sweatpants and and an oversized sweatshirt. She rubbed her eyes and stretched before grabbing me by the shirt, pulling me into the room and closing the door behind her.
"Wtf Andrew"
"What ?" I rub my head and look at her.
"You're gonna bring SHANE DAWSON over to my motel room without warning me ?!?!"
"Uh well they wanted to see you?"
I felt watched as she looked at me and squinted her eyes so I decided to break the wallowing silence.
"How about we wait here, you go shower and get dressed, then we'll go to Taco Bell, I'll buy yours.."
She pondered this for a moment before weakly smiling at the ground.
"Okay if free Taco Bell's involved... I'm in"
She ran into her room, emerged 2 minutes later with an armful of clothes and then went into the bathroom. I got up and opened the door to see the squad leaning against the wall.
"Oh thank god you're not dead" I laughed at Shane's comment and closed the door as they all sat on the couch and tried not to look awkward. It only took 10 minutes before Elora emerged in a button-up, jeans and air-force shoes. She immediately started introducing herself to everyone, shaking their hands in a friendly manner. Then... she got to Morgan. Their eyes connected and held each others gaze for almost a full minute before Morgan broke the silence and said "I'm Morgan" Elora smiled and bit her lip before facing me, she turned to the others and exclaimed "Who the fuck is this ?". Everyone burst out laughing and Elora opened the door for us as we all filed out.
*Time skip to Taco Bell*
(You may notice as a reader that Taco Bell is a regular thing, I crave it so much I have to write about it, good'ay)
Garrett's POV:
So far, this was one of the best days of the year. Hanging out with friends and an extremely hot Andrew was enough to make me feel whole.
What D'you... want Elora ?" Andrew turned to see her examining the board.
"Wanna split a meal for two ?" Morgan suggested shyly. Elora smirked and replied softly "Sure".
*Another time skip fuckas*
"Mmm this is so good" Ryland bit further into his crunchwrap and Shane sipped diet coke out if his cup, scrolling through Instagram. I looked over at Elora and Morgan who were sat opposite each other, basically mind-banging over a quesadilla.
I jumped when Shane leaned over next to me and abruptly said "They're totally gonna fuck tonight "I slapped him then laughed before admitting it. "Definitely".
An hour later, we were at Shane's place, taking turns downing beer and sipping shots. I don't know HOW it had gone from an innocent Taco Bell to getting turnt up in Shane's living room but it had passed midnight before Morgan stood up, "I need to finish some stuff so I gotta go try find an Uber. Elora leaned against the doorway and shook her head "No need, I'll drive you". Morgan blushed and nodded.
"Just let me grab my stuff"
Elora nodded and pulled on her jacket. "I might see you guys down here one more time before I have to go back to Thai, although I think I'm going to Hawaii first". We all stared at her and tried not to laugh at the fact that she was not being remotely relatable in any way at this moment in time. Morgan re-entered the room "I'm ready" Elora smiled and opened the door for her. We all ran to the window to see them walk down the pathway to Elora's car and watch as she held the car door open for Morgan and then climbed into the drivers seat.
About 5 minutes pass and the car hasn't moved.
"I can't bloody see anything" Shane squinted his eyes, still hoping to see through the blacked out windows of Elora's car.
Eventually we gave up and all went underneath an array of blankets on the sofa to turn on Netflix. I get up to bring in Postmates I don't remember any of us ordering and turn the lights off before sitting back on the couch after handing out everything. We decide to then watch Stranger Things after flicking through Shane's recommended on Netflix. I'm just about to close my eyes when Elora's car engine starts up and she pulls out of the driveway. I sigh and nuzzle into the sofa, slowly falling asleep, with Andrew's hand clutched in mine beneath the blankets
