"Ha ha. I'm so thrilled. I need a drink." Ryan groaned trying to hide from the starved looks he received from several eyes. "Patty, beware the wolves. Or rather cougars?" he added walking off to find the very appealing liquid.

Maddy playfully swatted Ryan as he passed. "We can't be cougars! We're younger than you two," she replied with a chuckle.

"Oh that was so nice." Jane said. "Now you made me feel old and sure he's already whining like old woman about his injuries." he deadpaned, expression learnt from Cho.

'Youre still sunshine, Jane', he scolded his thoughts, punching himself mentally.

"Just because we're not cougars doesn't mean we don't have claws," Maddy shot back with a smirk. "Don't be a bunch of sour grapes, and be happy, and stop whining like an old lady if you don't want us to call you old," she told him. "Because you're not old, not at all."

"True. She's absolutely right. You're so young and free that even our 'lost soul' can't take her biggies off of your wrapped up treasures." Michelle piped in with her devious grin.
Sure he was just a little bit older than she. But it's never delayed her from anything eye-candy

"Girls, you're mean," Ava told them. "We're not old, we're just a bit more experienced," she shrugged, as she was almost Ryan's age herself.

Patrick rolled his eyes and shooked his head.
"I'm sure we all know that. But now I want a drink myself so how about that nice cocktail making thing?" Jane piped in almost glowing as his smile already seemed blinded Alexa.

"Yeah sure Jane. They defo know that." Mich mumbled.

"Sure, so drinks maybe?" she grinned deviously at her friends.

"Yes, drinks sound amazing!" Maddy said with a grin. She looked over at Lexie who although had been grinning the whole time listening to their conversation had remained quiet. "Who's our resident cocktail maker along with Mr Blondey over here?" she asked with a nod in Lexie's direction.

Michi started jumping up and down.
"Me, me, me?" her eyes gleamed with mischievous glint. Girl had some plan in her head and she wanted to make sure her 'eye-candies' stays close and enjoy the ride

Lexie came out of his reverie when Maddy said something about cocktail making. "Um, I'm here. I didn't zone out, promise," he said with a mock shifty look, giving a laugh. Seeing Michelle jumping up and down, volunteering, he got up and extended his hand to her. "Would you like to help? We can be the resident cocktail-makers for this evening," he said with a smile.

Mich beamed as she took his hand. "Of course I'm in."

"Great," Lexie told her with a smile as they headed to the mini-bar-table that had been brought in just for tonight. "Let's get mixing! Orders everyone!"

Mich grinned. The table was full of goodies. And then a mischievous idea snucked up on her.

"How I love these parties." girl beamed grabbing supplies for one special drink she got in her mind for someone.

'What should my order be?' Joshua mentally asked himself before sliding up to Lexie to ask him to choose what drink he would serve. "I'ld like something with vodka, and lemon, other than that you can surprise me." Joshua said while giving Lexie a small, slightly shy smile.

Lexie gave a nod, running through his mind-list of drinks. Then he grinned. "Well, there is one... A, um, a 'Do Me Sideways'',"he told Joshua, somewhat bashfully. "That should satisfy your cravings."

"So?" Sam spoke standing next to Mich, "Can I get that explosive you made for PJ last week?" she asked curiously.

"I can help you with that." Ryan suddenly appeared from behind. "I need something really explosive before you strip me."

Maddy grinned. "So we do get to strip you after all? Excellent," she said, her eyes glinting mischievously. "I'll have one of what Ryan and Sam are having, and one of Lexie's sex ones," she added, her grin growing slightly wider.

"So that's really gonna happen? Stripping us off all the clothes?" Jane chimed in sipping his 'explosive'

Ava laughed when she heard Patrick's question. "Did you really think you were going to get away?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

Maddy turned to look at Ava, grinning when she heard that, then turned back to Patrick. "Exactly what she said. You're not getting away that easily."

Jane pouted making 'puppy-dog-eyes'.

"Really that bad?"

Of course not bad. Just plain funny. But with few sharks around he couldn't be sure.

"I need more and stronger stuff." Patrick announced when finished his glass.

Maddy came up to him, her eyes mischievous. "You can't of expected to stay clothed," she murmured to him, her lips brushing his ear. "Look what happened at the last party... We've got alcohol, and you're hot, so you're bound to be shirtless sometime soon."

Patrick grinned deviously "Alright alright. I remember that awesome party, or at least the best parts. Of course I wasn't supposed to avoid the fun." he said sounding innocently.
