Chapter Fourteen
"NOOO!" Hercules's deep voice could be heard throughout the apartment.
Lafayette rushed into the living room along with John who was hanging out with them.
"What is it, mon ami?"
"THE SEASON ENDED ON A CLIFFHANGER! Now I'll have to wait months to find out what Rainbow Dash will do!"
John snorted. "Um, what?"
Hercules seemed to realize what he just said. "Nothing!"
Lafayette laughed loudly. "Mon ami... I now understand why Alexander calls you a... how you say? Horse fucker."
Hercules groaned. "Shut up."
Lafayette rolled his eyes lovingly and turned to John. "Are you coming out with us tonight, mom ami?"
John shook his head. "I can't leave Alex."
Hercules snorted. "He's the one who told us to take you out. He said all you do is sit in bed with him."
"Really?" John asked, laughing a little. "Well okay, then."
Lafayette grinned excitedly. "Oh! You know how dear Eliza hasn't had a date in a year!"
John nodded.
"We found the perfect man to set her up with! His name is Andrew Jackson, I believe."
"Great." John smiled.
-
"It's so loud in here!" John complained as they entered the club. He knew his ears would adjust. Soon, he hoped.
"Come on, John!" Lafayette yelled. "Quit being a pooper of the party!"
"So what was that surprise you told me about?" Eliza cut in.
John smiled at her. "We set you up with a guy!"
"Oh..." Eliza was less than pleased. She hopes John didn't notice that fact. "Who?"
"His name's Andrew Jackson." John said. He pointed to a man sitting at the bar. "That's him."
Eliza walked over tentatively. No big deal. She thought. I'll just talk to him and then leave. It's okay.
"Andrew?"
He looked up, a cocky smirk on his face already. "Eliza?"
She nodded. Let's get this over with.
-
"Do you think she's having a good time?" John asked, glancing toward their friend. She had a small smile on her face, but it looked a bit forced.
"A grand time, mon ami. I'm sure of it." Lafayette assured.
"She seemed upset when we told her we set her up with someone."
Lafayette shrugged. "She can text us if she needs us. Don't worry about her. She's strong."
Hercules nodded and guzzled his beer. "Andrew's a good guy usually. I think."
-
Eliza nodded as Andrew said something else. He was okay so far. Just kind of egotistical.
"So what are you?" Andrew asked suddenly.
Eliza furrowed her brow. "What?"
"I mean, you look exotic." He smirked.
"Excuse me?" She scoffed. Now he was suddenly acting rude. In a racist way. One of the worst ways.
"Oh god, please tell me you're not an Indian. An American Indian, I mean." He made a disgusted noise in the back of his throat. "They're all just lazy alcoholics. The trail of tears happened so long ago. It's time to get over it."
"What did you just say?!" Eliza was in complete disbelief. She finally found her words. "For your information, I'm half Chinese. And-"
"Nice." That obnoxious smirk was still on his face. "Asian girls are super submissive, right?"
Eliza could feel her face heating up. She was so angry. Angrier than she'd ever been. She picked up her martini and threw it in his face. "HOW'S THAT FOR SUBMISSIVE, DOUCHEBAG?"
"You bitch!" Andrew yelled, running away to the bathroom.
She watched him run away, an extremely angry look on her face.
"Eliza!" John cried as he and the other two men raced up.
"What happened?" Hercules asked.
"You forgot to mention the fact that he's a racist asshole!" Eliza fumed.
"What?" They all asked at the same time.
"Yeah he called me exotic! Then he said racist crap about natives and then he told me I must be submissive since I'm Asian!"
"WHAT!?" John yelled.
"I'LL KICK HIS ASS!" Hercules fumed, cracking his knuckles.
"Can I help?" John growled.
Lafayette began to swear in French.
Eliza sighed as they screamed and looked around for him. She wasn't so angry anymore, just sad. "Guys, I wouldn't have enjoyed it anyway. There's something else. Can we all go to John and Alex's place? Call everyone over. I can't keep lying anymore."
-
"So what exactly is this big announcement?" Angelica asked. "Are you okay?"
Peggy nodded. "What's wrong?"
"I wish I could get out of bed and give you a hug." Alex stated. "What's wrong, Liza?"
"Why am I here?" George asked.
"Shh!" They all said.
"Guys..." Eliza looked down and fumbled with her hands. She looked back up. "I'm aromantic."
AN: yes. Also Andrew Jackson. Lol who doesn't hate that guy?
