[IC] Hollywood Hell

[Savi]

Zach chuckled as the dog knocked him on his butt. He pet the dog and said between chuckles "maybe, but I think I'd rather talk to her mother." He grinned at her as he pet the lovable dog. "I've got two of my own. what's her name?"

[CallaLily180]

Juliette smiled brightly. "Her name is Jackie." Jackie looked for the caller and got off of the man. "OK so now you know the name of my dog and me, I know your name but you haven't introduced yourself." Juliette helped him up.

[NikkiBlake]

Jude chuckled at the story, "I don't know how i can top that." Jude rubbed his lips again, "When i was in high school, i let the whole football team down because i broke my leg, trying to sneak out of a girl's house and i couldn't play in the championship." He felt bad for laughing but he did, he never told anyone that story, not even Derek.

[Savi]

Zach stood on his feet and bowed slightly. "I apologize, beautiful princess. I am Zachery Browning and I am very pleased to have been able to be graced by your presence." He stood back up and grinned playfully.

Red giggled. "I'd have to say, that's quite the story... AH! I got it! I got kicked out of a park because I got drunk and crashed a little kid's birthday party by jumping in the bounce house." She laughed. "You got anything to drink? I'm goin' to need it."

[CallaLily180]

Juliette smile brightly and curtsied. "Well it is a pleasure to meet you Zachary, do come inside my humble abode." Juliette walked back inside and went to the kitchen. "Would you like something to drink?"

[Savi]

Zach stepped in without being asked twice and nodded. "Anything is fine. Not like I have to drive or anything." He smiled as he took his shoes off at the front door so not to track dirt.

[NikkiBlake]

Jude nodded, he went into the kitchen and grabbed some glasses. He checked his phone, he was tempted to text Juliette. 'So are we on for tomorrow?' he sent it. Jude looked at Red, he was angry with himself. He returned to the table with vodka and two shot glasses. He poured until the glasses were full, he slid one over to Red. "Do you remember that story of the guy that was caught peeing in a fountain a while back?" Jude pointed at himself. "My lawyers spent a lot of money to cover that up."

[CallaLily180]

Juliette thought it it over and pulled out some wine, she poured a glass for both of them and handed him one. "I hope you can tell I'm trying to show off." She said smiling, and she took a sip of the wine. Her phone buzzed in her pocket but she set it down.

[Savi]

Red tried so hard not to laugh, but it came out. Being a singer, her laugh sounded melodic and she loved the sound of laughter. It made her feel happy even when she was down. She cleared her throat and took a shot, scrunching her face slightly. The taste was burning, but the feeling was amazing. She grinned and said "I once went into a bathtub full of pudding because my friends dared me to eat all of it. Let's just say, I can never eat pudding ever again." She giggled softly.

Zach grinned. "No need to show off for me. If you do, I'd look like a bum in comparison." He smiled teasingly and took the wine from her. "But I'm glad you'd show off for me, to be honest." He gave her a genuine smile. "You'll also have to understand that I'll have to try ten times harder to show off for you."

[CallaLily180]

Juliette laughed. "OK I will keep that in mind."

[NikkiBlake]

Jude smiled, he loved Red's laugh. Jude took his shot, the liquid burned his mouth but he did not recoil. He was used to it. Jude's phone started buzzing, "Sorry." Jude looked at the contact, it was his agent. Jude answered the call, "Hello, wait slow down. No well i mean kinda, no- its fine really. Okay bye" Jude hung up and looked up at Red. He pulled up an image on his phone, it was a picture of him and Red kissing, apparently it was on all social media sites. He handed his phone to Red. "So i guess we're a couple now" Jude chuckled.

[Savi]

Red looked down at the phone and put her hand to her lips, but it was to keep her from laughing. "Seems so" she said with a smile. She looked up at him and grinned. "I'll make sure to keep you on your toes." She winked and poured herself another shot. She had to limit herself tonight. She didn't want to do anything without remembrance of it.

Zach smiled, but remembered what he saw earlier and his heart sank a little bit. He said, finally, "I need to know, though; do you still have some feelings for Jude? I want to be able to protect my sister." And maybe even himself. He lowered his head, as if feeling guilty about asking when they were having such a good time.

[CallaLily180]

Juliette stared at Zach. "We were partners before...acting partners, and we had some sort of a fling but it didn't last of course." Juliette frowned. "He is an ass though, he may have feelings for your sister but it may not last."

[NikkiBlake]

Jude ran his hand through his hair, and took a few more shots. He hoped Juliette wouldn't see the pictures, he wanted to focus on Red but he kept thinking about Juliette. Jude eventually shook those feelings and continued telling stupid stories to Red. Jude stood up and plopped himself onto the couch, bringing the vodka with him. He motioned for Red to join him. He licked his lips, they tasted like vodka.

[Savi]

Red watched as he moved and walked, somewhat hesitantly, over to the couch. She sat down next to him and said "listen, I was serious about us having an open relationship. I know it's hard to shake habits and I know you're not going to stop. You're probably thinking about another girl right now and so I'm not going to intrude on that. Just be honest with me, okay? I..." She stopped herself. She experienced this so many times that she just gave up having faithfulness in a relationship. It still hurt, though. It still hurt from the first to the previous time. It was probably going to hurt every time, but it didn't matter. She took the vodka from him and took a sip before putting it on the coffee table.

Zach sighed. "It's just... she has no clue I'm her brother and I've never acted like a brother. I never protected her from all the Judes she has ran into before. She hurts and I can't protect her. I just want to protect her this once."

[CallaLily180]

Juliette put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry about it, I'll talk to Jude for you." She smiled at Zach.

[NikkiBlake]

Jude moved closer to Red, he kissed her. He put his hand on her face, he used his other hand to pull her closer. He pulled away, he was inches away from her face. "I'm trying" That was all he could say, he kissed her again his hand on the back of her neck.

[Savi]

Red kissed him back, her heart doing leaps. Yet, she couldn't help but open her eyes to make certain he wasn't just kissing her. Her eyes slowly drifted closed. She knew she was getting into a dangerous situation and she knew she was going to get hurt. She knew all this, but it was a strange addiction. She lifted her hand and ran her hands through his hair.

Zach smiled and said "thanks". He looked into her eyes and leaned in to kiss her. He knew rejection was very much possible, but trying wasn't half bad either.

[CallaLily180]

Juliette leaned in and kissed him softly, she knew this was dangerous but Zach was different. She pulled back and smiled at him.

[NikkiBlake]

Jude looked at Red, he knew what he was doing. He was adding another girl to his list, no he really liked Red, He couldn't do that, but he couldn't stop. Jude started to kiss her neck, his lips met her skin. Jude was on top of her, his body leaning on hers. Her body was so small compared to his. Jude kept kissing her neck.

Derek unlocked the door with his keys, he walked in screaming "Honey i'm home!!!" Derek had a bag of burgers in his hand, he reached the living room. "Oh shit, sorry" Derek looked down at the floor. Red and Jude were all over each other.

Jude got off Red in a panic. "Oh hey" his voice cracked. Jude cleared his throat.
