Avoiding Responsibility (Avoiding #2)(148)

Lexi, Chyna, and Adam followed Jenny to a separate area of the hotel where their items had been deposited. "We gave the gentleman his own separate room for changing. You ladies are welcome to the suite access in the room next door," Jenny said signaling to a pair of doors.

"Separate rooms weren't really necessary," Chyna said as she took the key from Jenny.

"But thanks," Adam added quickly. "We appreciate your help.

"Of course," she said with a head bob and then disappeared.

Chyna reached forward and kissed Adam lightly on the mouth. "Well off to your own room then," Chyna said shoving him gently in the opposite direction. "We need girl time."

"You're really going to make me have my own room?" he asked glancing between the two girls.

"Yep!" Lexi said quickly glad that Chyna had kept them separated.

"Yes!" Chyna agreed.

"Fine, but can we talk later?" he asked Lexi directly.

"Yeah you guys need to talk about something," Chyna said dismissively as she turned to open the door.

"Sure," she nearly whispered. "Later?"

"Sooner rather than later," he amended. She nodded her head and then ducked into the room behind Chyna.

Lexi couldn't believe that their stuff was already deposited in their room. They hadn't been with Jenny for more than ten minutes and everything was in place. Her dress was even hanging up in the closet to prevent wrinkles. She couldn't believe how on top of their game the hotel was. It must have something to do with the Bridges name for the wedding. Maybe they did their taxes or accounting. That would explain the diligence about everything….or maybe this was just how the hotel was. She had never been here. She didn't know.

The suite they entered had a full kitchen, dining room, living space, and French doors opening up into a grand master bedroom. Chyna entered the room and sat back on the plush king-sized bed. Lexi gawked at her surroundings as she entered the bathroom.

"Holy shit Chyna. This bathroom is bigger than my room at home," she said admiring the Jacuzzi tub, glass standing shower, and stretch of sink space.

"Everything is bigger than that mouse hole you live in."

"Hey!" Lexi said walking back into the bedroom.

Chyna shrugged. "So do I have to ask or are you going to just spill," Chyna said lying back on bed.

"Spill what?"

"Oh don't give me that! You were supposed to call me and tell me the details. Clearly things went well. So I want to know what happened! Last I checked you were about to run away from him and suddenly you guys are fine and back together? Sounds a little suspicious to me," Chyna stated.

Lexi filled her in on everything that had happened the night before. She excluded some of the more raunchy details of the evening, but told her everything about how Ramsey had been hiding things from her for a reason. Even though hiding what he was doing was wrong in itself, the fact that he was doing all of these things for her did kind of help the situation. Then the night long escapade…well that was worth a tale or two.

"I don't know how you do it chica," Chyna said twirling her stick straight black hair around her finger. "You always find the ones with epic baggage."

"Every guy has epic baggage C."

"Maybe," Chyna said thinking it over, "but not like you! You find them completely damaged. I sure hope he isn't lying about anything else. I will kick his ass if he turns out to be a scumbag."

Lexi laughed out loud and collapsed onto the bed next to Chyna. "You're not the only one."

"Maybe not, but my high heels can do some damage!" she crowed grabbing her shoe off her foot and showing Lexi the dangerous four inch heels.

"Is girl time over?" Adam called through the door a few minutes later.

"No!" both girls called at the same time before breaking down into a fit of giggles. It felt so nice to just be herself with Chyna like this. This is the reason she loved New York so much. She hated when Chyna had been in Milan and Lexi hadn't gotten this time with her.

Chyna hopped off the bed and opened the door for Adam. "We're not even dressed yet."

"Well hurry up. I don't want to be over there all alone," he said suggestively.

"Oh God save it!" Lexi yelled as both she and Chyna giggled at him.

Adam just shook his head. "No but really hurry up," he said as Chyna shoved him out the door.

Lexi hadn't even noticed that over an hour had already passed and Ramsey hadn't even returned to check on them. Not that she needed him there with her at all times; she just thought it was strange that he hadn't shown up. He probably had got caught up in wedding preparations with Jack and Bekah. Lexi knew firsthand how much there was to do on the day of a wedding.

Shrugging off his disappearance, Lexi and Chyna both began to get ready for the big event. Lexi took half as long as Chyna even on a day like today when she was a bit anxious about what was going to happen. She wanted to look pretty of course, but she didn't want to stand out. The last thing she wanted to deal with was a bitchy Bekah…well anymore than she already was. She left her hair loose and curly with her bangs falling across her forehead. Her makeup was light, but accentuated her best features. She slid on her strapless purple floral dress and into her brown high heels. Then she sat and waited for Chyna to finish her get up. For a woman who was flawlessly beautiful, she sure put a lot of time into herself every day.
