Lovely, Lovely Friends
Who: Kevin and Jayden
When: Monday, May 16, Evening
Where: Eden
While Kevin Van Warren had been a little surprised to see his old friend Jayden all over the place in LA, especially as the new sidekick of Haylee James, he still couldn't help but laugh at it. The girl was always a magnet for drama and attention. So when she called and asked him to meet somewhere for drinks, where else would he recommend but his new favorite hangout, Eden. So they sat there, Kevin looking his FABULOUS self, in shiny black vinyl pants, a matching long-sleeved shirt with multiple zippers, and his fingernails and eyes painted up in black. He had his hair in a very Elvis-like pompadour, and had a beaming smile on his face. Clearly, he'd missed his friend. "This really feels like old-times again, Jay. Seriously."
Jayden gave him a wide, beaming grin of her own. As fun as it was to run around with Haylee and watch the traffic stop when the other girl came into any room, damn if it wasn't fun to hang with Kevin as well. The two of them made a weird looking pair, though. While he looked like a slightly more feminine version of Rob Halford, she kind of looked like a pirate hooker. She was wearing a skull printed bikini, with a see through black skirt over her bottom, skull patterned knee high stockings, and black heels. On top of her head was an orange wig that went to her shoulders and a stereotypical pirate hat. Obviously, she stuck out here like a sore thumb on crack. "It does feel like old times," she said, sipping at her drink.
And how cute was it that Kevin didn't even really notice? This was just his best friend being, well... herself. "So how are you liking the City of Angels so far?"
"So far so good, it's been treating me really well," Jayden said to him with a grin. "Certainly a big improvement over San Diego, after all. So much more to do. So many more people to see."
"So many more tabloids to get your picture in..." He finished for her, snickering cutely. "You are such a bad influence on me, girl... even if you are the best shopping partner I have." Shopping partner? Seriously? Jesus... Kevin really wasn't even TRYING to seem hetero now, was he?
"Hey, I can't help it if people want to take my picture," she said. "Even if they insist that all of my clothes seemed to have picked out by drag queens and hookers." Didn't bother her. Even a bad fashion review meant that she had gotten attention, after all.
"Don't they know drag queens and hookers have some of the best outfits in the world? God." He rolled his eyes, as if this was the god's gospel. "I have to say though, LA is sort of natural for you. I'm surprised it took you this long and... a friendship with Haylee James of all people, to get you here."
"You say that as though I followed her," Jayden said, mocking him playfully. "I kind of figured that it was about time for me to come out and actually live in a real city. I happen to know a few people here, so of course I was going to come here. Where the hell else would I go, New York?" She snorted. "As if. Place takes itself WAY too seriously."
"Everyplace takes itself too seriously. You should have seen how I was looked at when I went to visit my cousin in Kentucky. I don't think the word 'fag' gets thrown around more in a British smoking community." He smirked, taking a sip of the apple juice he had sitting in front of him.
She laughed, hard. "God, WHY would you go to Kentucky? Really?" She wouldn't go if there was a death in her family, but that was Jayden for you.
"My cousin was getting married!" He almost squealed, laughing with that little giggle. "You know how I love a good wedding." Then, as if it just hit him, "SPEAKING of which... I helped one of my friends learn to sing for her wedding. It was so beautiful..."
"Yeah, a good party STILL wouldn't get my ass seen in Kentucky," Jayden said to him. "And that sounds like it was fun. Why did she need to learn to sing for her wedding?"
"Her husband is the singer of Broken Sunrise... they wanted to sing to each other as part of their vows. It was adorable... they sang Beatles songs to each other." And to Kevin, the best part was making new friends out of it, even if it WAS weird being friends with Patience AND Skylar...
"Wait...they SANG their vows to one another?" Jayden thought that was a TINY bit corny, actually. Still, it was probably cute in that goof ball sort of way.
"No, they said normal vows too... but they each sang a favorite song to each other. And before I got her? Patience couldn't sing a note to save her life. I molded her voice like clay, thank you." He said proudly, looking adorably smug.
"Now that I can totally see that happening," Jayden said to him. One of the FEW things that she had respect for was the Van Warren musical talent. If only she was talented at ANYTHING other than being a professional celebrity.
"Oh yeah. And despite your reputation, I'm gonna warn you. For your OWN sake. When you meet him? Try not to flirt with Pat, ok? Patience is kinda crazy!jealous at times. She'd probably knock you out like a prizefighter." He knew that while Jayden was a lot of things? A fighter? NOT one of them.
"OK, already got my life threatened once when I shouted about how hot one of Haylee's bodyguards was when his girlfriend shot me the death glare," Jayden said with a roll of her eyes. "What the hell is it with LA and butchy guardy girls wanting to kick my ass for showing some appreciation, anyway? Technically, I'm giving their taste in men a compliment." Besides, you can't force anyone to cheat. They do it because YOU aren't doing something right, apparently.
"Just trust me on this one, babe. Patience looks like a sweet little thing, but I don't think I'D fight her. Besides... the McConnells are friends of mine. They've... been through a lot. Besides..." He giggled again, giving her a playful punch in the shoulder, "There's a perfect guy out there for ya somewhere, one who'll be more than just some... one night fun."
"Alright, won't hit on Patience's man," Jayden said, sounding faux pouty. "And when you find this so called 'perfect guy' please point him my way. We'll see how right you are on that."
"Trust me. There's someone out there with the same brutal taste in clothing you have, and together you'll have eccentric, drama-loving kids together." He tried not to snicker as he said it, as anymore? He couldn't HELP but picture what his friends' kids would be like.
