ALICE.

"Then I'd be delighted," Oliver murmured as he glanced between Billy and I with a small smile.

A soft smile took form on my face in response, and one took form on Billy's face as well.

Billy spoke up. "So, what have you been up to lately, Oliver?" He raised an eyebrow in Oliver's direction.

Oliver shook his head as he ran a hand through his hair. "Nothing much, really," he sighed. "Nothing compared to what you guys are going through, anyway."

I softly smiled in his direction. "You're probably right," I murmured with a chuckle.

Oliver flashed me a wide smile. "The best thing you can do is smile through the pain," he mumbled while flashing Billy a quick glance.

Billy tilted his head down and swallowed while shuffling his feet.

The three of us stood in silence for a few moments until Oliver awkwardly giggled as he glanced between Billy and I.

"What's so funny?" Billy chuckled as his gaze met Oliver's.

Oliver shook his head while running a hand through his snow white hair. "The tension," he murmured as he glanced between us.

Billy raised an eyebrow. "The tension?" He glanced between Oliver and I. "What do you mean, the tension?"

Oliver chuckled while shuffling his feet. "I mean the sexual tension, Billy," he giggled as he raised his eyebrows. He then motioned between Billy and I. "It's radiating between you two like a wavelength or some shit," he exclaimed. He then held his hands up in surrender as he mumbled, "I'm not scientifically smart, so don't take my metaphor too seriously."

Billy and I glanced at each other awkwardly before chuckling rather nervously. The truth was that Billy and I hadn't done anything since last time in New York. We had kissed when we thought we were escaping the hotel, and we had held hands for everyone to see after we escaped being kidnapped but that was all. Billy and I haven't really talked about "us" or anything of that nature, and I knew I'd have to talk to him about "us" sometime, but I honestly didn't know when was the right time especially after all of the shit that's happened as of recently.

Oliver smiled sheepishly at us as he slightly scrunched his neck into his shoulders while bending his knees. "I'm sorry," he mumbled as he raised his eyebrows. "I thought you guys were still a thing."

Billy and I smiled sheepishly at each other before I responded. "I mean," I mumbled with a smirk as I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm still technically married." I took a pause before adding on, "Does that count as a thing?"

Oliver threw his head back as he laughed. "I guess so," he chuckled before raising an eyebrow at me. "Haven't filed for a divorce yet?"

I shook my head as I crossed my arms. "I need to," I murmured.

Oliver smiled apologetically at me before sighing. "Well whatever happens, Alice," he began. "I just hope you're happy," he whispered as his blue eyes bore into mine. He stayed like that for a moment before snapping his gaze to Billy, causing me to shake my head from the dreamy state I had been in. "And you too, Billy," he said. "I hope things get better for ya, Man."

Billy chuckled and shook his head. "Thanks," he murmured.

Suddenly, a knock was heard at our door.

Oliver raised his eyebrow. "Expecting someone?" He asked as he glanced between us.

I raised an eyebrow at Billy who shook his head in response.

"No," I mumbled as I cautiously walked towards the door. I opened the door slowly to see Sebastian and Anthony standing in the hallway. "Hello?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Hi," Sebastian sighed as he glanced me over. Anthony waved at me quickly from behind him with a small smile. Sebastian sighed before continuing on. "I was just seeing if you and, uh, Billy wanted to do anything today," he murmured.

I sucked in my cheeks as I glanced him over. "Actually," I began. "If you guys want to join the party in our hotel room, that'd be fantastic," I giggled.

"Party?" Anthony asked with a raised eyebrow. "You guys are having a party and you didn't invite us?"

I shook my head as I giggled. "It's not really a party," I said as I shrugged my shoulders. "It's just two friends who just made another friend."

Sebastian and Anthony raised their eyebrows in response. Sebastian asked slowly, "Who's your new friend?"

I opened the door wider for them to see into the hotel room and stepped back a little ways.

"Meet Oliver Blackheart," I exclaimed as I waved my hands dramatically at him, causing him to chuckle.

"Another rich kid? Damn," Anthony sighed as he shook his head. "They just keep multiplying by the dozen."

Sebastian shook his head and quietly chuckled at Anthony's comment as he let Anthony walk past him and into our room. Sebastian then shut the door behind him slowly as he gazed around our room.

"You have a way better room than I do," Sebastian whispered as he took it all in.

I giggled in response and cast a quick glance at Billy. "Billy picked it out, not me," I said as I motioned towards Billy.

Billy scoffed. "Thanks for throwing me under the bus," he remarked while shaking his head, his disapproving look then becoming a goofy grin.

I shook my head as I smiled at him before returning my gaze back to Sebastian and Anthony.

"Hi," Oliver squeaked out as he threw in an awkward wave. He nervously giggled as he looked between Sebastian and Anthony.

"Hey," Sebastian murmured with a smile as he walked in mine and Oliver's direction as he stuck out his hand for Oliver to take. "I'm Sebastian."

Oliver took his hand and shook it with a goofy grin on his face. "I'm Oliver, but you already know that because Alice introduced me," he giggled.

Sebastian chuckled in response as he released from the handshake. "And this is my friend Anthony," he said as he motioned towards Anthony.

Anthony walked towards Oliver and shook his hand with a smile on his face. "Hey, Man," he murmured as he shook Oliver's hand.

"Hey," Oliver murmured with a soft smile.

Anthony pulled away from the handshake and clasped his hands together as he gazed around the room. "Damn," he sighed as his eyes scanned the room. "This place is fucking tight."

Billy chuckled. "I only get the best," he murmured.

Anthony shook his head as he chuckled before turning back to face Oliver. "So, how'd you guys all meet?"

I jutted in and switched my gaze to meet Sebastian's. "Remember the fake cousin I was telling you about on the plane?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

Sebastian nodded his head in response.

I motioned towards Oliver who was gazing at me confusedly. "That's him," I declared.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow along with Oliver.

"We're cousins?" Oliver chuckled as he offered me a surprised look.

I shrugged my shoulders. "We were for about a whole plane ride," I said.

Oliver tilted his head down as he chuckled. He then said, "That awkward moment when you don't know that you're cousins until now."

I rolled my eyes and swatted him on the chest. "Shut up and just accept it," I giggled as I walked towards the kitchen. "I'm getting something to drink. Does anybody want anything?"

"I mean," Anthony began with a raised eyebrow and a smirk plastered on his face. "You did say that this was a party."

Oliver's eyes lit up. "A party?" He asked as he turned to follow me towards the kitchen. Soon, everyone was trailing the two of us.

I rolled my eyes. "I was trying to be nice," I murmured with a soft smile. I opened the refrigerator and glanced inside. "I mean, I guess they stocked the refrigerator while we were shopping the other day."

Billy stood on his tip toes to glance over Oliver's shoulder. "I guess you're right," he chuckled.

All of the alcohol that Billy had downed the other day had been replaced with fresh bottles. Copious amounts of alcohol now filled our refrigerator once again, and because of Billy's drunken adventure down the halls of the hotel the other day, we had found out that none of the bottles were free. We should've assumed that, however.

"Now we're talking," Anthony murmured as a smirk plastered on his face. "How come you guys have a shit ton of more alcohol than us? And how come you guys have all the good stuff?"

Billy shrugged as he gently nudged Oliver out of the way so he could grab a mini bottle of Grey Goose vodka. "Money pays," he murmured with a smirk as he placed the bottle on the counter.

"Our hotel rooms had been prepaid for us," Anthony sighed as he grabbed a bottle of Grey Goose as well. "How come we don't get treated like kings, Seabass? We should be treated like fucking monarchs."

Sebastian rolled his eyes as he grabbed a mini bottle of Grey Goose and proceeded to set it down on the counter beside Anthony's and Billy's bottles. "You're always complaining about something," he mumbled.

I chuckled as I grabbed a bottle out of the refrigerator along with Oliver. We then walked to stand at the counter alongside the others. Billy was at the far right end of the counter with me standing kitty corner to him with Oliver on my left; Sebastian was standing across from me and kitty corner to Billy while Anthony was on Sebastian's right.

"If only Chris were here," Sebastian mumbled as he shook his head. "He'd really enjoy this."

"Get him over here," I exclaimed as I waved my hand at Sebastian. "The more the merrier!"

Sebastian remained eye contact with me as he giggled before pulling his phone out of his pocket and typing something.

"He'll be over here in about thirty seconds," Sebastian mumbled with a smile.

A few minutes later, Chris had joined us and everyone was standing at their same spots at the counter once again. Chris was standing at the far left side of the counter kitty corner to both Anthony and Oliver.

"Cheers!" Chris exclaimed as he held his bottle of Grey Goose in the air. The other five of us yelled the same phrase in response and all of us clinked bottles together before taking a shot.

"Oh my God," Oliver moaned as he closed his eyes. "Why is Grey Goose so good?"

Anthony chuckled as he cast his gaze at Oliver. "Aren't you, like, a big partier or something?"

Oliver smirked at him in response. "I don't drink Grey Goose unfortunately," he sighed as he shook his head.

"Then what do you drink?" Anthony asked with a raised eyebrow before bringing his bottle to meet his lips once again.

Oliver smirked before closing his eyes and shaking his head. "I was gonna say something else but I'm gonna refrain myself," he murmured with a chuckle.

Anthony raised his bottle towards Oliver before lifting it to his lips. "I'll drink to that," he exclaimed, causing the rest of us to chuckle as we took swigs from our bottles.

Oliver swallowed his shot and chuckled. "I normally just drink Swarovski Crystal," he sighed.

Sebastian's eyes bugged as he gazed at Oliver. "That's, like, seven thousand dollar vodka," he exclaimed.

Oliver nodded his head. "And it's fucking terrible," he responded.

Anthony chuckled before exclaiming, "Here's to poor people vodka!" The six of us clinked bottles as we cheered before taking another shot.

Thirty minutes later, we were all finished with not only our first, but our second mini bottle of Grey Goose and we were all slightly tipsy. Slightly.

"Turn around," Sebastian sang as he swayed to the music playing softly throughout the hotel room.

"Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round," Anthony sang back as he swayed to the music, the two of them being very dramatic while performing a duet to "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler.

The song continued while the two of them performed the entire duration of it, never missing a beat. I was sitting on the couch while swaying my head to the music with my eyes closed as Oliver was splayed across the couch with one of his legs in my lap while his other hung off of the couch. Billy was sitting on the floor in front of the couch where the coffee table had once been, but Anthony had moved it to make more room for their performance. Chris was sitting in the chair on the right side of the couch and had turned it to face Anthony and Sebastian. I didn't really know why Billy had chosen to sit on the floor in front of me even though there were numerous other places to sit, including all of the chairs Sebastian had moved to be beside Oliver's side of the couch, but I was too drunk to ask.

"My turn," Oliver cooed as he abruptly stood up from the couch when their song ended, almost falling over as he did so.

Sebastian lazily smiled in response as he plopped onto the couch beside me while Anthony sat on the floor next to Billy. Again, what's up with everyone sitting on the floor?

Oliver connected his phone to the sound bar on top of the tv stand and began scrolling through his music. Suddenly soft guitar riffs began filling the room, and Oliver held his phone up to his mouth as he used it as a microphone.

"I wanna be a billionaire so fuckin' bad," Oliver sang, earning a rise out of Anthony.

"Boo!" Anthony exclaimed as he held his thumb down. "Shut up, you cocky son of a bitch!"

Oliver held his middle finger up as he continued to sing into his phone. "I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine," he sang as he closed his eyes and swayed to the music.

Oliver was honestly a really good singer; it was either that or the alcohol had gotten to me. I was in a room full of attractive men taking turns singing, rather they were trying when it was their turn or not. Either way, I will not lie when I say that I was pretty aroused.

"I swear the world better prepare for when I'm a billionaire," Oliver sang, causing Anthony to stand up and pick Oliver up by his waist and hold him over his shoulder.

"Shut the fuck up," Anthony exclaimed as Oliver's torso dangled down Anthony's back.

Oliver laughed as he yelled out the next set of lyrics. "Yeah I would have a show like Oprah," Oliver yelled as he continued to use his phone as a microphone.

"You're already a fucking billionaire," Anthony yelled as he smacked Oliver's ass, causing Oliver to gasp.

"Oou, Daddy," Oliver exclaimed as he giggled, causing the rest of us to burst out laughing.

Anthony laughed as he set Oliver down back on his feet before pulling him into a bro hug. "You're a fucking cocky son of a bitch, but I like you," Anthony chuckled.

Oliver lazily grinned in response. "You're not too bad yourself, Antoinette," he sighed.

Anthony raised an eyebrow. "Never mind. I don't like you anymore," he chuckled.

Oliver pouted in response. "Now I'm sad," he cooed as he disconnected his phone from the sound bar and sauntered towards Sebastian and I on the couch. Sebastian shifted over in his seat so Oliver could sit between us but instead Oliver laid on his back with head in my lap and his legs in Sebastian's lap.

"I guess I'll go," Chris sighed as he stood up from his seat, causing Anthony to steal his spot on the chair. Oliver lazily turned his head to watch Chris as Chris walked over to the sound bar, and I couldn't help myself when I gently ran my hand through Oliver's hair. It was honestly the softest thing I've felt in a while and that's even counting that one bunny I held back in tenth grade when my old friend, Amanda, had a pet rabbit. Unfortunately it had escaped outside one day and had been carried off to a distant land by a hawk.

Oliver practically purred as I ran my hand through his hair as the two of us continued to watch Chris as he scrolled through his playlist. I really don't know exactly why I felt the need to keep playing with his hair. I blamed the alcohol along with the fact that it was purely white. The hair color just intrigued me I guess, and it intrigued me even more so when I was drunk. And it's not like I can take back playing with his hair now. Actually I was very proud of myself for getting out of my comfort zone when it came to guys. I had always let them make the first move, them meaning Austin, aside from the time I had kissed Billy outside of that bar. That was due to alcohol consumption as well.

Suddenly upbeat stripper music began filling the room, causing all of us to burst out laughing and cheer Chris on as he drunkenly slurred the lyrics.

"I'm that flight that you get on, international," Chris slurred. All of us continued to cheer him on as we swayed drunkenly in our seats along with Oliver who swung his body to the music from his position on his back.

"All I really need to understand is when you talk dirty to me," we all sang in unison as the chorus blared through the speaker.

After many shared laughs and drunken verses of the song we had all performed even though it was technically Chris' song, Chris bowed at the end and disconnected his phone from the speaker as he walked to sit next to Billy on the floor.

"Billy," Oliver exclaimed as he nudged Billy on the shoulder, causing Billy to slowly turn his head around while he wore a lazy grin. "You're up, Man."

Billy dramatically sighed as he stood up. "Fine," he sighed as he stumbled over to the sound bar. "This is about to be a banger," he said as he BlueToothed his phone to the speaker.

"I wouldn't expect anything else," Oliver exclaimed.

Billy tapped his phone screen and "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond began playing, causing Oliver to tilt his head back and screw his eyes shut as he laughed.

Billy mumbled the words at the beginning of the song that he didn't know as he drunkenly swayed to the music. But then, Billy, along with the rest of us got into it.

"Hands, touching hands! Reaching out, touching me, touching you," we all yelled as Billy used his phone as a microphone.

"Sweet Caroline! Good times never seemed so good," we all yelled. Oliver waved his fists through the air as he banged on air drums at the sounds of the saxophones in between the first and second half of the verse. Hell, we all hit something at that point, whether it was air, ourselves, or the person beside us. I hit Oliver on the chest when that moment came, and I honestly don't even think he felt it.

When Billy's song ended, he drunkenly saluted to the five of us before stumbling away from his spot and going back to sit on the floor beside Chris.

"I guess it's my turn," I mumbled as I tried to nudge Oliver off of my lap.

Oliver pouted as he looked up at me. "But I'm comfortable," he whined softly.

I rolled my eyes before responding. "Fine," I sighed. "I'll just perform my masterpiece from here."

Oliver cheered as I BlueToothed my phone to the sound bar from my seat on the couch. The first beginning lyrics and sounds from my song began filling the room, causing everyone to burst out laughing at my choice.

Oliver and I yelled in unison as he gyrated his hips that were in between mine and Sebastian's laps, "I just had sex, and it felt so good!"

Chris stood up and began gyrating his hips to the music while swaying his arms above his head, and soon Anthony joined him.

"Have you ever had sex? I have, it felt great," Chris yelled as he pointed at Anthony.

"It felt so good when I did it with my penis," Anthony responded as he pointed back at Chris.

Sebastian burst out laughing as he recorded their whole performance on his phone while also turning his phone occasionally to video me gyrating my hips while Oliver's head was still laid on my lap. Oliver was gyrating his hips as well from their position in between mine and Sebastian's laps.

I glanced at Billy and even he was getting into it from his position sitting on the floor.

It was refreshing to actually be having fun for ourselves instead of doing something to take some of the tension off of the situation at hand for the media to see. We were all genuinely having a good time purely for ourselves, even if we were all recording the others at one point while we swayed to music drunkenly while yelling out song lyrics. Billy and I definitely needed some kind of break after these past previous days, especially Billy, and I was happy to see him having fun while smiling and laughing. It was what I needed to see, and it's what I had needed after these past few days as well.

After the song was over, Chris and Anthony collapsed onto the floor and laid on their backs as they stared up at the ceiling.

"I wish that could be a scene in our movie," Anthony murmured.

"It can always be a blooper," Chris sighed in response.

Anthony paused for a few moments before murmuring, "Cut the check."

Chris and Sebastian giggled along with Anthony at their little inside joke, and I glanced down at Oliver to see he was gazing at them with a soft smile on his face. I trailed my hand to meet his hair again and he sighed at the contact while momentarily closing his eyes before reopening them and staring lazily into open air.

After a few more minutes of silence, I glanced at my phone to see that it was fairly late which honestly surprised me. It felt like Oliver had just showed up at our doorstep with tears in his eyes. Time does really fly when you're having fun.

I closed my eyes and tilted my head back as I continued to lazily play with Oliver's hair. Once again, I am going to reiterate that I am surrounded by very attractive men that could easily seduce me into doing something at this moment because of the alcohol coursing through my veins. Pardon me while I list how arousing all of these men are, and hopefully I don't accidentally blurt any of this out loud.

Anthony, for example, is fairly attractive when I'm sober. But when I'm drunk- damn.

Chris Evans fucking is Captain America, even if I have only seen trailers of the movies from a while ago.

Sebastian? Oh my God. Sebastian. He could easily get my clothes off in negative thirteen seconds if he gave me a certain look.

Billy fucking Redford. Oh my God is Billy attractive. His fucking clothes? His fucking eyes? His fucking hair? Not to mention, if there was anybody in the room I was going to fuck tonight, it'd be Billy because I already know what the sex is like so that way I wouldn't fuck someone else and be majorly disappointed. Billy is very good at sex I might add.

Oliver Motherfucking, Panty Dropping Blackheart? Jesus Bloody Christ could this man bend me over a table any day and use me in whatever way he wanted to. Also, why does his white hair make him even more attractive? I mean, his face alone is attractive. But the hair? Especially since it's so soft? I would ride the living Hell out of this man, and his head is genuinely on top of my thighs. All he has to do is turn his head to the left and he'd be right there.

I was snapped out of my pornographic daydreams when I heard Sebastian yawn from beside me. I then felt Oliver cuddling his face into my thighs as he placed one of his hands under his cheek while the other tucked around his torso.

"I'm starting to feel it now," Anthony murmured as he closed his eyes while laid out on the floor.

"Me too," Chris murmured back.

"You guys can all sleep here if you want," Billy mumbled. "There's enough room for everyone."

"I might have to take you up on that offer," Anthony murmured. "I'm too tired and too drunk to leave the room."

"Mhm," Sebastian hummed in agreement.

I softly nudged Oliver, causing him to lazily swing his legs off of Sebastian's lap and stand up from the couch. Sebastian and I followed his lead as we stood up and stretched our arms in the process.

"There's a guest room there," Billy murmured as he motioned towards the spare bedroom. "Whoever wants to sleep there can."

"You guys got a fucking guest room?" Anthony asked as he rubbed his eyes.

Billy shrugged his shoulders lazily. "Money's money."

Anthony waved off his comment as he walked slowly towards the guest room. "If anyone's sleeping in the same bed as me, we're calling out 'no homo' first," he declared, earning a chuckle from everyone in the room.

"I'll try to keep my distance," Oliver chuckled as he threw up a peace sign. "But there's no promises," he added in with a wink.

Anthony shook his head and chuckled as he entered the guest room with Chris behind him.

"I'm just gonna sleep here," Sebastian mumbled as he motioned towards the couch.

"Ok," Billy, Oliver, and I all sighed in unison. We all said our good nights to Sebastian and then followed Billy into the master bedroom.

"At least it's a king size bed," Billy murmured as he shrugged off his jacket and threw it on the floor.

Oliver hummed in agreement as he shrugged off his jacket with his sunglasses still hanging off of it and threw it on the floor somewhere.

I crawled onto the bed and pulled the covers on top of me as the two men nestled into the bed on either side of me. Normally I'd tell one of them to fuck off and go sleep on the floor because of how crowded the bed now was, but I could already feel sleep taking over me as soon as I laid down.

I closed my eyes and turned to face Oliver as I nestled my head into the pillow, slightly moving my leg only to bump against his.

"I'm sorry," I murmured into the pillow as I moved my leg back to where it had previously been.

"It's fine," he sighed in response. "I'll be passed out in a few minutes anyway. Get as comfortable as you need," he murmured with a chuckle.

I softly smiled as I moved my leg back to where it had been rested up against his.

"Goodnight, Oliver," I cooed into the pillow as I moved one of my arms to cuddle my chest.

"Goodnight, Alice," he whispered in response.

"Geez. Thanks, guys," Billy murmured into his pillow. "Goodnight to you, too, Billy. Wow! Thanks, guys for acknowledging my existence."

Oliver and I softly giggled into our pillows before quietly saying our goodnights to Billy.

I didn't know exactly how I felt about today, I genuinely didn't. I didn't know what Billy and I were if we even were still anything. Had the two of us simply been vulnerable before everything settled down? Had we just needed a friend? Had we just needed someone who genuinely cared about us?

And then there's Sebastian, the walking embodiment of a sex God who also looks like a lost puppy when he's doing anything besides smirking at you.

But then there's Oliver Blackheart who's laying right in front of me. The womanizer, and whatever the male version of that is, who's genuinely acting like he isn't what the media portrays him to be at all. He's like a puppy as well, but a different kind of puppy. I couldn't place my finger on what word I wanted to use to describe him, probably because I was too drunk, but I knew he was a genuine person. He was real, unlike the paparazzi portrayed him to be. And I liked this person.

But I also liked Billy Redford and Sebastian Stan.

Fuck me.
