It had been ten minutes since Lina and Jay got to the bar, and when they walked in, they spotted Alex and Shemar chilling in the back. "Ayy, there they are!" Alex shouted, raising his beer bottle as Lina and Jay made their way over to the barstools. "Yeah..." Jay replied, plopping down at the end while Lina slid in between him and Shemar. "Here!" Shemar said, pushing a couple of beer bottles their way. Lina reached out and grabbed one. "Oh man, this is gonna be awesome!" She exclaimed, taking a long swig and giving a satisfied smirk. "Damn Esco, you really know how to handle that beer!" Alex joked, giving Lina a playful look. She put the bottle down on the table, letting out a long breath while narrowing her eyes at Alex. "What? Did I distract you from chugging that thing?" he teased, his smirk still in place, head slightly tilted. Lina playfully nudged his shoulder. "Yeah, that was totally my goal!" Shemar watched the banter, chuckling softly. "You guys totally bring your on-screen vibes into real life!" he quipped. "Yeah? Well, Alex is just like his character, on and off camera!" Lina shot back, glancing at Alex, who pretended to be offended but was clearly enjoying it. "Seriously? Come on... Officer Street's a legend! You know that!" he shot back. "Can't deny what? His craziness?" Lina snickered. The three kept chatting and laughing while Jay was kind of zoned out, scrolling through pics on his phone. He smirked at some throwbacks with the rest of the cast, goofing around. But then he hit a photo that made him stop—him and Monica sharing a kiss. "Why the heck do I still have this?" Jay thought, staring at the pic like it was the worst thing ever. His thumb hovered over the trash can icon, but right before he could hit it, he noticed a new Instagram notification pop up. "Kierstan Saulter: Followed you."
