After they all headed back to Rowdy's apartment, the trio stayed up late, joking and getting to know each other a little more, which she truly liked their company and could see them becoming great friends. When it was time to sleep, the girls, Lia and Sadie, slept in Rowdy's bed, and the actual tenant of the apartment slept on the couch. As Sadie slowly started to stir from a very deep slumber, as she hadn't really slept that comfortable in a while, she was a little disoriented while waking up and confused as to where she was. Her memories started to resurface as she stretched out and slowly opened her eyes, Well, this isn't my room or bed, but that was one hell of a good sleep. She thought to herself and looked around the room and soon noticed a small lump bundled under the covers on the bed next to her, "Well, it's good to know you don't hog the covers there, Lia." She whispered to herself and smiled.
Although she was very comfortable in the nice, soft, warm bed, Sadie knew she needed to get up because she had to get supplies to start cleaning her own apartment before moving furniture in.
She had offered Rowdy and Lia to come shopping with her, and they had said they would the day before, so she thought to get them some coffee and pastries before they woke up. Even if they had changed their minds, she still wanted to get them something since Rowdy was the one that fed them last night with the fajitas. Soon enough, she unraveled from the comforter and was dressed in the clothes from the previous day, she didn't want to wake her friends as she was leaving so was quiet as a mouse and walked towards the front door, she glanced over towards the couch, but couldn't make out Rowdy on the couch do to the darkened room. She knew he was there because of his light breathing, she smiled and opened the door gently while stepping outside. Before she left, Sadie stopped by her apartment to change her clothes and freshen up some since she left a suitcase in there. Soon, she was changed into blue jean shorts and purple tank top and slipped her sneakers back on. She then threw her light blonde hair into a cute, messy bun and put some deodorant, soon heading back out her door to 'Crazy Beans'.
As she got to the place, Sadie realized she wasn't sure how they took their coffee, so she got a mixture of things including a double shot cappuccino, black coffee, one with heavy cream and one with sugar and light creamer.They could pick from there. She thought to herself as she picked out a variety of pastries and breakfast sandwiches to go with their coffee. She paid for the items and had it packaged, so it was easier to carry and thanked the barista as she walked back out into the now dimly lit morning. As she walked back to the complex, she was taking mental notes of what she would need for her apartment, but soon started thinking about the two people who never leave her mind. She soon shook it off as she reached the complex and headed upstairs towards Rowdy's apartment. Sadie reached his door but was not sure what she would be walking into, so out of courtesy, she knocked gently, followed by grabbing and turning the handle opening the door she had left unlocked.

Lia hadn’t meant to take over Rowdy’s apartment, even temporarily, but she gave him back his keys and the moment seemed forgiven. This led to a small party in the apartment, where they, and anyone else who came by drank, and hopefully ate. As for Lia, she eventually just picked up the entire tub of sour cream and a spoon. When asked if she wanted anything to go with it, she happily answered; “I’m good!” Before sitting down to eat it.
There was two reasons she gave into the indulgence of what she was doing. The first was personal. Her food intake had been so controlled her entire life that she had never just been allowed to have things she wanted. It was a personal ‘fuck-you’ to the judgements of Hollywood. The second, of course, was that by a quarter of the way through, Lia was drunk. By half, she was smashed and by the time she finished it, she was close to blackout drunk. She wasn’t an out of control drunk, she was light and happy, even a little flirty, and energetic. She wasn’t sure she had ever laughed that much in her life.
Due to her base nature, and her proximities to the people in the apartment, when they all eventually fell asleep, Lia’s power would take effect. It was nothing harmful, but being near her would put everyone into a deep, and restful sleep, while Lia’s dreams were filled with quick, flashing images she couldn’t have made sense of if she tried. She didn’t even remember them by the time the next morning rolled around, and her eyes opened. She was in a soft bed that smelled really good. She moaned softly as she stretched out, but quickly realized that she was alone….and this was not her bed.
She sat up quickly to try and assess where she was, and memories quickly filtered through her brain. She chuckled to herself as she had a quick flash of dancing on a…table? Maybe counter? She honestly didn’t have an idea, but she had to pee so bad. She scurried out of the bed, and went out to find the bathroom. She spotted Rowdy on the couch, and kept her steps quiet and soft as she crept into the bathroom. Once she was done and washed up, she crept back out, but then kind of awkwardly mulled around the kitchen, looking at the coffee pot, genuinely confused why there wasn’t any in it. There was always coffee when she woke up. She blinked at it a time or two. She then poked it a couple of times, and must’ve hit a button, because when it beeped at her, she yelped quietly, panicked and smacked it, while quietly shushing it until it stopped. When it did, she sighed in relief, and peeked to see if that had woken up Rowdy.
She didn’t immediately see him anywhere, but she was distracted from the thought as she heard the knock. Curiously, she peeked her head around to see Sadie walking back in with stuff, one of which looked like coffee. “Hey! I don’t know if he’s awake yet.” She greeted the other woman quietly, but the Hollywood in her had her asking. “You’re back. And with stuff. Is it coffee?”

Rowdy was thankful when Lia opened the door to his apartment and let him and Sadie in…eventually. After he ate, he packed up the food and put all the leftovers in the fridge for later. Together, he and Sadie emptied the contents of the ice chest into the fridge. He left for a little bit to go to practice for his job at The Doghouse. When he returned, Lia and Sadie were hanging out on his couch finishing a movie. He grabbed a quick shower and then joined them as the credits of the movie rolled. They started drinking and getting to know each other some. Lia had a few beers with them, but when Rowdy pulled out the bottle of bourbon, Lia declined the bourbon but snuck into the fridge and started eating the sour cream with a spoon. The funny thing was, as he and Sadie got drunker off the booze, Lia was getting drunk herself…but she wasn’t drinking. Regardless, they had a night of fun and laughter as they became friends.
Some time between the witching hour and dawn, the trio decided to go to bed. He gave both Lia and Sadie a pair of his shorts and tshirts to sleep in so they could change out of their clothes. He also offered them both his bed. Once they were comfortable in his bed, he headed back out into the living room and grabbed a spare pillow and blanket from the linen closest. He made himself a little bed on the couch, stripped off his clothes, and passed out relatively quickly. He slept better that night than he had in years. He was sleeping so well that he barely heard Sadie as she snuck out of his apartment on her way to get them all coffee. He had easily fallen back asleep on his side, his back to the room and his face smooched against the couch cushion. He could have slept for a few more hours but a beeping sound caused his eyes to open. The beeping persisted followed by a few yelps coming from his kitchen. When he heard the sound of someone smacking something he sat up. “What are you doing?” he asked sleepily as he pulled the blanket off him and stood up. He completely forgot he was naked.
He went into the kitchen to calm Lia. “Just push this button to make it stop,” he said groggily as he made a slow, almost dramatic display of pushing the ‘Brew’ button so she could see. “It started beeping because you tried to brew without setting it.” He figured if she wanted coffee he might as well show her what to do. “If you want coffee, let me show you what to do.” He was about to start the lesson when there was a knock at the door. Rowdy turned away from the kitchen counter and was standing in profile as Sadie came back into his apartment. The scent of coffee was strong. He breathed in deeper and then sighed into a smile. “Please tell me I smell a cappuccino.”

Sadie had just gotten back from Crazy Beans with the coffee and pastries as she walked into Rowdy's apartment. Not expecting to see the sight in front of her, she paused just inside the door after closing it. "Ummm...does that want none, unless you got buns, hun?" Staring directly at Rowdy's nether region that was on display, not meaning to but couldn't help it. She said that playfully, of course, and started laughing. She pulled her gaze away from her naked friend and saw Lia not far from him. "Did you ask for a private strip show without me?" She asked Lia jokingly and started laughing again. After her fit of giggles died down, she asked them, "What did I miss in that short period of time?"
She then started walking to Rowdy's kitchen and sat the goodies on the counter, and turned to them. "Yes, to both of your questions. I brought four different coffees, pastries, and some breakfast sandwiches. Help yourselves!" She smiled at them and handed them each a coffee. She heard Rowdy ask about a cappuccino and handed him the double shot. "Double shot cappuccino, my naked friend." She teased with a wink and turned to Lia. Not knowing what she liked but saw how much sour cream she ate the night before, she handed Lia the coffee with heavy cream. "Here you go." She smiled at Lia. "I figured after we ate and got dressed, we could head out to get some shopping done. If you were still up for it?" She took one of the left over coffees, looked between the two new friends, and waited to see what they decided.

Lia was panicking a little as she couldn’t get the coffee pot to stop beeping. “Oh, please, stop!” She whispered to it, then did the only thing she could think of, and smacked it. This seemed to grab Rowdy’s attention, but Lia was focused on the machine infront of her.
When Rowdy appeared around the corner, Lia yelped a little and stepped away from the machine. Panicked eyes looked at him, then swept down his form without thinking. She landed briefly on the fact of he was naked, and those eyes went from panic to something else as she swept back up to his steel eyes. “Uhm, Rowdy?” She started, but then she followed his finger as he started to explain the machine to her.
She was trying to take the lesson in, but moments later, Sadie re-appeared in the apartment, and noticed the nakedness of their friend. Lia giggled softly, her eyes moving from Sadie to Rowdy and back again. “I didn’t ask for one, but I am not complaining.” She replied happily, but nearly jittered in excitement when she was handed a coffee. “Thank you!”
Because Lia had always been taken care of, and the people in her life understood that she couldn’t have certain things, she didn’t think twice when she took the cup, or when she swallowed a large sip of it. About halfway through, Lia realized what she was tasting, and why the effect was immediate. ’Oh no…,’ She thought as she lowered the cup from her mouth. She felt the buzz all over her body, and looked into the cup as she started giggling. Realizing Sadie had asked them if they still wanted to go, Lia nodded. “Yeah, I still wanna go. But Uhm. I don’t…..really have any clothes.” And she was smaller than both of them combined, so she wasn’t exactly sure how this problem might be solved.

Rowdy’s lesson regarding the coffeemaker stopped when he started to get teased about his lack of sleeping attire. Naturally, had he been awake enough to realize it, he would have pulled pants on before going into the kitchen. But he was barely awake, and clothes were the last thing on his mind. When Sadie walked in and immediately started making jokes, he gave her a snide look that let her know he was still trying to wake up. “Ha. Ha. Funny.” He snatched the double shot cappuccino off the counter and headed back to his makeshift bed on the couch. He set the coffee down and grabbed his jeans from the floor. He pulled them on and flopped back down on his blankets.
He breathed in the scent of the Italian coffee and popped the lid off the cup. He breathed in again and closed his eyes as a tiny smile pulled at the corners of his lips. “You might be a bitch, but I love you for the coffee,” he said jokingly to Sadie. He took a sip and nodded his approval. Sadie gave Lia a coffee and she got one herself. They congregated in the living room to discuss the shopping trip. “I’m up for a pass through the store. I can show you what I used to get this place clean.” He eyed Lia as she complained about not having any clothes. She was currently sporting a pair of his basketball shorts and a light grey t-shirt. He cocked his head and said passively, “What you got on will work for the trip. You can look at some new clothes while we’re there.” His clothes were a bit big on her, but they looked fine overall. Rowdy looked at Lia and was starting to get that protective, big brother vibe going. He had a feeling he would be doing a lot of taking care of Lia in the foreseeable future.
Rowdy looked at Sadie, “As soon as this coffee goes down, I will be ready to head out.” As he consumed his drink he slowly put on his shirt and eventually his shoes. By the time his coffee cup was drained, his wallet was tucked into his back pocket and his keys were in his hand. He eyed Lia who had that unfocused look in her eyes again. “You okay to go, Lia?”

Sadie had been chatting with Rowdy and Lia as the two woke up. She chuckled at Rowdy when he said she might be a bitch, to which she replied "I have been called worse, but glad you liked the coffee." She shrugged her shoulders and started laughing. She took a drink of her coffee and got her a breakfast sandwich then turned to Lia. "I think you look fine. Maybe we can pick up some clothes for you while we are shopping? Just to get you by, until we can get to a better boutique. " She suggested to Lia and smiled.
Soon she was finished with her coffee and making mental notes of what she would need. She was looking at online furniture for her own apartment as she waited for them to finish getting ready. She placed the order for furniture just as she saw Rowdy coming back from getting ready. He looked to have grabbed his keys and wallet, she then thought maybe Lia wasn't far behind, so she got off the couch. She heard Rowdy ask Lia if she was alright which made her turn towards her friend. She noticed Lia looked a little unfocused but wasn't sure why. She was concerned for Lia so would help keep an eye on her while they were out shopping. She said, "I am going to get the car started. It's the white SUV that looks like it is out of place in this neighborhood. See you downstairs." She chuckled softly, grabbed her keys and phone along with her clutch. She headed out the door towards her vehicle and waited for her friends to join so they could go.

Lia tried hard to follow Rowdy’s lesson on the coffee maker, but it was cut short by the re-appearance of their friend. She giggled a little at Sadie’s joke, but mostly focused on the hot coffee that was handed to her, and she didn’t think twice before she started drinking the heavily creamed coffee.
That unfocused look was back in her eyes as she lowered the cup, and addressed her clothing issue. She looked down at herself as Rowdy confirmed that this would be fine for their trip. For a moment, Lia’s brow quirked as she looked down at her outfit. She liked the feeling of comfortable clothes, she had to admit, but by the time the next sip of coffee and cream was down, she no longer cared. Plus, Sadie said that they could go to a boutique sometime. “Okay!” She said happily.
The only thing she had dropped in her own actual apartment was the costume from set, so grabbing her bag was a simple matter of backtracking to Rowdy’s room while they finished their coffee. She was a little wobbly as she walked, but mostly steady as she put her shoes back on. As she was, she almost tripped over herself, but by some miracle, managed to catch herself on the wall as she heard Rowdy’s question to her. Brown eyes looked up as she nodded. “I’m okay! I’m good. Let’s go have some fun!”
