[ This girl has no game, but thankfully, Ransom’s a seasoned wingman. ]
Nat grew up around here, too, so we had no choice but to know each other. [ Their families had done business together, and naturally, they’d run into each other at all sorts of functions, althugh Ransom had always treated her as an annoyng little sister. Funny how Alice brings out the same side in him. ]
[ Natalie lights up at the reminder then turns to Alice when it hits her. She grabs her hand and exuberantly squeals. ] Do you need a roommate too? We should totally go in together!
[ Once Alice manages to find her voice, she's nodding along and wondering what the hell is happening because it's all going so fast. She's agreeing before she even thinks twice. Her anxiety will bite her in the ass later. ]
[ Ransom extracts himself from the situation so smoothly that if Alice hadn't known better, she wouldn't have noticed that she'd been set up.
It leaves her and Natalie talking and getting to know one another better. They even talk about the roommates things so seriously. She's so taken by the other girl that she's floating on cloud nine. She doesn't even notice her drink had been tampered with. It's not later when she feels the effects on her body and some dude bro trying to help her. ]
[ Ransom doesn’t notice it until he hears a twisted laugh, and he cranks his head to get a glimpse of what’s happening. He sees Alice draped over Leo, and that’s when he stalks over with a scowl. Not on his watch, not with this girl. He promptly shoves Leo away, cursing him off with a few well-phrased threats he has every intention of following through with. Alice is slack in his arms. It’s not how he imagined this night ending. ]
