<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/fcbZu04.jpg)</div><strong>Name</strong>: Chloe Andersen (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=337584.msg16025956#msg16025956)<br/><strong>Location</strong>: Living Room, one of the plush chairs --> Johnathan's table<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Leopard-print lightweight jacket, tan short sleeve T-shirt, hip-hugging distressed jeans, belt, black laced matching bra and underwear, boots, and socks,<br/><strong>Content Warning</strong>:  None, just getting started.<br/><strong>Optional</strong><br/><strong>Tagging</strong>:  Lance, Donovan, Rose, Emma, | Mention: Izzy, Johnathan<br/><hr/>Chloe listened to Donovan's reply politely.  She'd asked to help smooth things over with him, and in an attempt to get to know him a little better.  She wasn't the biggest basketball fan.  Not because she disliked the sport, but because she didn't have the time to follow or invest into it.  Still, the playoffs were different.  A lot of people only started watching or following a team for their playoff run.  A couple month's dedication to a team was much easier than being an avid fan who caught nearly every game for an entire season - however long that season lasted.<br/><br/>Her attention was immediately captured, however, by Izzy when she made her big announcement.  Chloe wondered if her friend had practiced the speech.  For goodness sake, she had even stood on a chair to deliver it.  Blue eyes watched as the sealed deck of cards cartwheeled through the air and landed in Johnathan's hands.   A second followed shortly after directed at Rose.<br/><br/>She was relieved that she didn't have to be the dealer immediately, but gave Izzy a contemplative look.  Was their hostess oblivious, or did she just purposefully cock-block Rose?  It promised to be a long night, and if the two wanted, Chloe was certain there'd be plenty of time for them to get to know each other... later.<br/><br/>Chloe was comfortable in her seat, but seeing that Johnathan was one of the dealers, and that he was going to take a group outside, she figured she'd join them.  While everything with Donovan had been smoothed over, she didn't really want to get naked in front of him and thought that he'd avoid Johnathan, considering their earlier interaction.<br/><br/>As she stood, Chloe slipped one of the gummies out of the bag and held it out in a close fist to Rose.<strong>"I'll come find you later to discover your secrets,"</strong>she said with a warm teasing smile.<strong>"But, just to keep things real,"</strong>she added with a glance at her closed fist.<br/><br/>Seemed like Johnathan's table was popular, or perhaps people just wanted to go outside.  As Lance and Emma  Moved toward the sliding door, and Johnathan stood to leave.  Chloe greeted each with a warm smile and finger wave from the hand which didn't hold her wine glass.<strong>"Sorry for leaving mid convo earlier,"</strong>she apologized to Lance.<br/><br/>Then her face took on a silly grin.<strong>"Were you bragging on how you killed me?"</strong>she teased Emma.<br/><br/>One of the best things about that whole experience had been meeting Emma.  Not that they had been fast friends, or BFFs, or anything like that, but the make-up artist had made - an otherwise low-point in Chloe's career - enjoyable.  For that simple kindness, Chloe felt a bit of kinship to the stunning brunette.<br/><br/>She waited for someone to open the sliding door and then exited with the group to the not-so-chilly outdoors.
