America's Suitehearts

**Hailz’s POV**

I snapped a picture of my reflection in the mirror and sent it to Alex. This is the fourth damn outfit he’s made me change into, he better approve of this one or else I’m giving up.
Me: How’s this one???
Alex: Hmm…I don’t like the sleeves so much now that I see it on you
Me: THAT’S IT! I’M GOING NAKED!
Alex: Ooh, so he’s taking you to THAT kind of party? ;)
Me: Go fuck a duck
Alex: Calm down, I’m the drama queen around here, remember? Now, try that one dress with the stuff on the whatchamacallit that makes your tits do the thing
I groaned and went back to my closet and changed into the dress he wanted. You know you’re someone’s best friend when they can describe something to you as vaguely as possible and you immediately know what they’re talking about. It was a little black dress with a corset-like top that pushed all my goods up to my chin (Okay, not really but it sure felt like it) that he had given me to wear to special events because apparently my wardrobe lacked ‘sophisticated ferocity’ as he put it or ‘high-end hooker-ness’ as I called it.
Me: Just so you know I’m not fucking changing again
Alex: You better not cuz that is fierce! Beyoncé would be proud
I smiled at my phone as I read his last text. That was high praise that he didn’t give you unless you were truly worthy of it. Feeling confident that my outfit was on point, I went into the bathroom to get started on my hair and makeup. My hair did whatever the hell it wanted most of the time regardless of what I did to it but today it was being nice to me and let me straighten it out and stayed in place, save a small chunk of my bangs that refused to join the rest. Being a little rebellious, huh? Sticking it to the man? That’s cool, I understand. I didn’t know how this night was going to end, though from my observations at various college parties, I figured it could go anywhere from passed out on the floor with a dick and mustache drawn on my face to slumped over a toilet to sleeping in someone else’s bed, so I put on makeup that I was okay with sleeping in and wouldn’t have to touch up eight million times throughout the night. Just an exaggerated cat eye and a touch of dark red lip stain. I walked out and threw my wallet, keys, phone, and a tube of red velvet flavored chapstick into my purse then sat on my bed next to where Mikey had curled up and gone to sleep right after I put him in his Mickey Mouse outfit so Alex would have something to laugh about when he gets home later and spends the rest of his night binge watching Supernatural while shoveling all the sugary food he can find into his face. He was really taking this hard. Poor baby. I felt sort of bad leaving him here like that, but it had made his day to find out I had date and he’d even said that this was his opportunity to prove that he gave better fashion advice than his ex. Now that I had finished getting ready, I had nothing to do but wait and be nervous. Great. I started to fidget with my hands and took a couple deep breaths to steady myself and settle down the colony of butterflies that had apparently just moved into my stomach. I tried to distract myself by playing with Mikey’s ears. I highly recommend playing with your pug’s ears when you’re nervous, it’s a very entertaining distraction. I was in the middle of making his ears flap like little wings when my phone vibrated from inside my purse to tell me I had a new text. I quickly dug it out and checked it, hoping it would be CC saying he was almost here.
Alex: Is he there yet? I saw him leave a minute ago
I sighed and responded.
Me: Nope, it takes longer than a minute to get here, remember? :P
Alex: Ha ha ha. You’re such a funny bitch
Me: I know
Alex: Anyway, just wanted you to know that if he turns out to be an asshole or if some whore clam jams you that you will always be my #1 hag and main ho! PS: Also, if he gets you pregnant tonight, I will happily adopt your little bastard <3
Me: OMFG WTF
Alex: Just putting that out there
Me:…We need to find you another boyfriend ASAP
Suddenly the doorbell rang and I jumped up faster than a speeding bullet while Annie started barking from Alex’s room and Mikey woke up with a startled yelp. I went over to my bedroom window and peeked out through the curtains to make sure it was really him that was there. Once I was sure I rushed to the door and quickly smoothed out my hair and dress before I opened it.
“Hey!” I said once I’d opened the door for him. He smiled and I caught him giving me a quick look up and down before he answered, so I decided to return the favor. He was wearing a dark grey Rise Against T-shirt under his black leather jacket along with a pair of dark skinny jeans and boots as well as the same bandana, necklace, and bracelets he’d worn last night.
“Whoa, hey…um…wow, you look great.” He said as we finished checking each other out. I smiled and thanked him but then I noticed the white box he had in his hand and pointed it out. “Hmm? Oh! Yeah, this was on your doorstep when I got here.” He said a little sheepishly as he handed it to me. I took it and read the sender’s address in hopes of figuring out what it was. Pandora’s Lingerie? Oh shit, my date found my box of lingerie! Oh god I-wait a minute…I’ve never heard of this fucking store! I didn’t order this!
“Huh? I didn’t order this. They must’ve sent this to the wrong apartment. I’ll take it down to the main office tomorrow.” I said as I went to set it down on the kitchen counter. “You can come in and sit down if you want, I just need to get my shoes on, then we can go.” I said as I turned back and headed to my room but CC was too busy crouching down and rubbing Annie’s belly while Mikey was giving him a very thorough shoe shine to respond. I smiled then hurried and got my shoes on.
“These guys are ridiculously adorable!” he said and stood up once I had finished.
“Alright, guys, you know the rules! Annie is in charge, I’ll be back later! Love ya’ll!” I said before leaving with CC and closing the door behind me.
“So, what’s there to eat around here?” he asked as he walked me to the cab he’d gotten here in.
“Hmmm. You in the mood for Mexican?”
