<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/lwTw3jW.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Baylee Roycewood (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=281599.msg13846596#msg13846596)<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>A flowing black thin stripped dress, a pair of sandled heels and a large black handbag (https://i.imgur.com/KVBOPQX.jpg)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Entry hall way just now entering the ballroom<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Chrissa (bumping into Phil)<br/><hr/><br/>Bay didn't have to wait long for Chrissa to text her back and smiled as she put her phone back in her purse. Slowly she made her way to the entry table, giving a few nods to people she didn't know as she picked out her's and Chrissa name tag off the table. She saw the yearbook and flipped through a few pages.  She couldn't hide the grin from each picture that she was caught in Chrissa was right there beside her. They were really inseparable during high school, she was sad that they had let that friendship slip over the years and hoped to hold onto it with this reunion. A bubble of laughter escaped her as she saw prep rally photo of them both Chrissa holding bunny ears behind her head while Bay did the same. They acted more like sisters than friends half the time. They were real goofballs, giggle boxes and troublemakers, as her daddy use to call them. She could remember him poking fun when Chrissa would spend the night, admitting that he called the insurance company "just in case" they brought the house down. Remembering her daddy brought a pang of guilt to her chest. She rubbed the spot over her heart, not wanting it to ruin the mood and turned her head as the elevator doors dinged open.<br/><br/>The pain was gone as soon as she saw her bestie leave the shaft and jogged/skipped to her. She mimicked her squeal of excitement as they came together in a big hug. Bay's eyes watered at how happy she was to see Chrissa. it had been way too long. She gave an extra squeeze then gave her friend a once over. Hot damn the girl looked good. She really filled out of the years and they did her a helluva lot better then they did her. She smiled and posed and batting her lashes dramatically<strong> "Naturally..."</strong>she laughed and shook her head.<strong>"Just kiddin, girl ya so hot Lucifer couldn't stand next to ya. I barely recognized ya on facebook let alone in person."</strong>She shook her head with a proud smile.<strong>"I bet no one is going to go to recognized ya from your high school pictures. While I stand out like a stick in da mud."</strong>She handed her friend her name card,<strong>"You ll just have to be my ray of sunshine, and let me bask in dat warm glow."</strong>She leaned into Chrissa, pretending to fan herself, and laughed. She couldn't help but fall back into her silly self when she was with Chrissa she was comfortable with her and knew she wouldn't judge her country hickness or funny quirks. During high school most people couldn't understand what she was saying half the time, Chrissa would roll her eyes and translate when Bay couldn't make her words clear. That was another thing Bay loved about Chrissa, as shy as she was she stood up for Bay and in turn Bay did that same, and possibly threw a few punches too in her friends favor.<br/><br/>Bay looked at her own tag but couldn't see anywhere to put in on her dress and decided to slap the sticker on her bag instead with a nod. She looked up as Chrissa suggested they find time to hang out before they left.<strong>"Uh hell yeah, we have so much to catch up on. For starters, I want to know what ya doin to look like that Because beer and hot wings isn't ya secret."</strong>She pointed at her self with a guilty smile. She giggled and linked arms with her bestie with a sassy grin,<strong>"Den lets not keep'em waitin another ten years..."</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Bay's jaw dropped at how beautiful the ballroom looked and even at some of the people who were milling around.<strong>"Hot damn, Juliet really pulled out all da stops for dis thing."</strong>She leaned closer to Chriss and whispered,<strong>"We were cool with her right?"</strong>She normally got along with everyone in high school, gave a friendly nod or wave to be polite. But then if you crossed a line with Bay she normally would never forgive and would either get her cold shoulder or a right hook to the face.<br/><br/>They were walking in the direction of the bar and smiled as they approached the bar,<strong>"Excuse me honey, sorry"</strong>She smiled at a handsome man with a whiskey that she bumped into but didn't recognize while getting the bartenders attention. She leaned over the counter and gave the bartender one of her heart-stopping smiles.<strong>"Hi ya darlin, how are ya doin tonight?"</strong>Her voice was sweet like warm honey as she batted her eyes at the good lookin eye candy before her. Mmmm, sexy... It had been years since she last dated or even slept with a guy. She tallied in her head, six months. Too long. But maybe she could stand to do a hook up while she was out of town. The bartender looked hot enough, thought the ring on his finger made her second guess her odds.<strong>"Two shots of tequila, salt and lime as well, if you please..."</strong>she slid his tip with a wink. Turning to Chrissa she put a hand on her hip as she leaned onto the bar,<strong>"I might need to be drunk to walk in these things. God they are so uncomfortable."</strong>She pouted and wiggled her toes. Once their drinks were served she gave the man and flirtatious thank you and handed her bestie a glass.<strong>"Cheers to ten years and hoping to still hold our liquor like we did back den."</strong>She licked the back of her hand and sprinkled salt on both their hands, hit the tabletop with her glass tossed it back and quickly sucked the lime.<strong>"Ugh,"</strong>she blinked a few times, the liquor warming her insides and helping her relax a bit.<strong>"I still dink they were taster on Bradon Tyler's abs...</strong>" she admitted with a laugh as she set her empty glass on the table.<strong>"So do we see anyone we know and want to talk to?"</strong>she asked while licked her thumb and forefinger of lime juice while scouting the room.
