3rd Person's POV

Mila dances with Blair and Cora as Lizzo plays throughout the house party.

'I just took a DNA test, turns out I'm 100% that bitch
Even when I'm crying crazy
Yeah, I got boy problems, that's the human in me
Bling bling, then I solve 'em, that's the goddess in me
You coulda had a bad bitch, non-committal
Help you with your career just a little
You're 'posed to hold me down, but you're holding me back
And that's the sound of me not calling you back.'

Mila frowns as she feels someone come up behind her and try to pull her closer. Before she can say anything she hears a voice in front of her speak.

"You have two seconds to get your hands off my girl before I break them..."

Mila glances up to see Flash glaring at some random guy she had never seen before who grabbed her. The guy holds up his hands in surrender and backs away into the crowd. Flash rolls his eyes then pulls Mila into his chest.

"You ready to go?"

Mila looks at him with wide eyes, "This is our girls anthem! We can't leave yet. Are you insane?"

Flash chuckles, "My bad."

Mila nods and turns in his arms then starts to dance against him. Flash drops his hands to her waist as they sway side to side.

Cora dances closer to Mila while holding hands with Blair. The three hold hands, giggle, and sing drunkenly.

'You tried to break my heart?
Oh, that breaks my heart
That you thought you ever had it
No, you ain't from the start
Hey, I'm glad you're back with your bitch
I mean who would wanna hide this?
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever be your side chick
I put the sing in single
Ain't worried 'bout a ring on my finger
So you can tell your friend, "Shoot your shot" when you see 'em
It's OK, he already in my DMs

Why are men great 'til they gotta be great?
Don't text me, tell it straight to my face
Best friend sat me down in the salon chair
Shampoo press, get you out of my hair
Fresh photos with the bomb lighting
New man on the Minnesota Vikings
Truth hurts, needed something more exciting
Bom bom bi dom bi dum bum bay.'

"Okay now we can leave."

Flash nods and starts to pull Mila out the crowd as she tugs along Blair and Cora.

"Can we get food?"

Flash smiles as Mila gives him the puppy dog eyes. He sighs and rolls his eyes, "Anything for you, Mila."

"Whipped!"

"Shut up Blair! You're yelling!"

"We're in a house party Cora! It's loud anyways!"

Mila laughs as she listens to her two best friends fight.

"I love you guys!"

Cora smiles as she becomes teary eyed, "Aww Mila I love you too!"

Blair nods, "Ditto!"

"Group hug!"

Flash groans as the three girls stop walking and hug in the middle of the road, "Where the hell is Phil?"

"Oh my gosh he's lost! We need to find him!"

Flash grabs Cora's hand and pulls her back as she starts to walk away, "He's not lost. We just forgot to tell him we were leaving. I'll call him while you three get in the car."

Cora giggles and nods then runs over to the other two. They quickly make their way to Flash's car and hop in the backseat. Flash locks the car door making sure they wouldn't leave the car, then runs back inside the house.

Mila snaps a picture on Snapchat of the three of them as they sit and wait.

"So Mila..."

Mila frowns and looks over at Blair in disgust, "Don't you dare..."

"You gonna sleep with Flash... or should I say Eugene?"

Cora and Blair laugh as Mila glares.

"No and no. Just friends."

Cora scoffs, "Friends who kiss..."

Blair nods, "And go out to eat together all the time..."

"And buy each other stuff..."

"And hang out 24/7..."

"And have met each other's parents..."

Mila holds up her hands shushing them, "Alright I get it! But also he's best friends with Phillip so that last one doesn't count... plus he's always at the house anyways, not just because of me."

"But... I know there's one coming up." Blair smirks.

"You guys already know why there's a but."

Cora nods, "When will he know?"

Mila looks out the window to see Flash walking back with Phillip beside him. She watches him laugh and push Phil, which makes her smile.

"Soon... very soon. I just don't want to hurt him. I still want to be friends with him. The whole relationship thing is just a rumor that we don't feel like explaining over and over again to everyone. Why explain to people anyways? They can think what they want. It's my life and his and they don't need to know anything."

Blair shrugs, "Very true... so how's your geek?"

Mila gasps with a laugh then slaps Blair's arm, "That's mean. I'd rather you call him a nerd."

"Same difference."

Cora rolls her eyes with a smile, "Kinda. Not really. But you're super close."

"He's fine." Mila cuts it short as the door opens and the boys get inside the car.

"Yo that party was lit."

"Would you shut the fuck up Philly boy I'm getting a headache."

Phillip turns in his seat and sticks his tongue out at Blair who smirks back at him.

"Why don't you just shut your big ears... dumbo."

"Fuck you."

"Wouldn't you like to..."

"Not me maybe someone else thou- Ow!"

Cora glares at Blair as she pinches her arm across from Mila. Phil looks at the two with a raised eyebrow then shrugs and turns back in his seat.

'Tell him.' Blair mouths to Cora.

'Too soon.' Cora mouths back shaking her head.

'Never too soon.' Mila mouths to Cora.

"What the hell are you guys doing?" Flash asks as he looks in the rear view mirror.

"None of your beeswax keep your eyes on the road mr Uber." Blair replies sassily.

Flash chuckles and looks back at the road as he drives to the restaurant.

They finally arrive and jump out the car one by one. Blair races Cora to the door as Phillip shakes his head following behind them. Flash helps Mila out the car then closes the door behind her. She leans on the car as he stands hovering over her.

"You good?"

"Yeah I'm fine thanks. You good?"

Flash laughs, "Of course I'm good. I don't drink when you drink. Gotta keep an eye on y'all. You girls are wild."

Mila chuckles, "That we are. Intimidated?"

Flash leans down slightly and shrugs, "Not quite... should I be?"

Mila smiles, "Nah we're sweethearts."

"That is true... You wanna stay the night?"

"And how would I do that?"

"Got the house all to myself tonight."

"Maybe..."

Mila thinks to herself and doesn't know why she can't help but flirt with Flash. She didn't like him as much as she liked Peter, but that didn't mean she didn't find him attractive.

Flash leans down so close their lips touch but he doesn't move any further.

"Your call Mila."

Mila groans slightly, "Fine."

Flash smirks and pulls away as she leans in to kiss him. She looks at him in shock as he taps her nose.

"Hungry?"

"You butthole."

Flash laughs as he pulls a pouting Mila into the restaurant. As they walk inside they see Blair frowning in disgust as she stares at Phillip and Cora making out in a booth.

"Whoo yeah!! Finally!" Mila cheers as she jumps up and down.

Flash claps and shakes his head, "It's about damn time!"

Blair rolls her eyes and looks around at the empty Steak 'n Shake. Thank goodness they were the only ones in.

"Can you two stop eating each other's faces? I'm going to throw up my food before it even gets here."

Cora holds up her middle finger as the two continue to kiss. Blair smiles and moves to another booth as Flash and Mila sit across from her.

"Finally. I'm freaking starving. What are you guys getting?"

No reply.

Blair looks up from her menu and groans as she sees Mila and Flash making out as well. She looks at Cora and Phillip then back at Flash and Mila.

"I'm single, lonely, and hate all of you."
