Afterparty?

I and Vi spend some time shopping and having couply fun, we eventually meet back up with Ari. The winter sun above retiring early as we make our way to the student car park complex.

"Are you two going to Brad's party?" Ari asks.

I vaguely recall getting a flyer that Brad would be hosting a house party, only a few streets away from my dorm building.

Ari nods and tugs at Vi "That's the one! I was trying to convince Vi to go with me, surely you're on my side too right Erik?" She pouts playfully as she pulls a dissociating Vi into her who jerks back into the world.

"What?"

"I mean I wasn't planning on it but it could be fun..."

Vi looks towards me curiously before her eyes sharpen knowingly, she knows I'm not the biggest party guy but there's some waters that could definitely be tested at a party.

Ari sharp as ever, sense the mood shift and uses it as an opportunity to push her agenda further.

"See Vi could be fun! That is the highest endorsement I've heard, pleeeease"

Vi meets my gaze before turning to Ari, "Fuck it let's do it, we can even stay the night at Erik's, it's only a few streets away after all. We wont even need to get an uber back!"

Ari squeals as she takes Vi's hand in hers, "Fuck. Yes. Ok Erik We'll go back t our dorm and then bring out fits to your place and we'll get ready at yours to make it easiest"

Ari practically drags Vi with her and I wave as they both farewell me from a distance. I sigh and reach my car and make my way back to my dorm building.
