One Night Stand (One Night Stand 1) - Page 35

“He did.” I giggled as well. “I gave it to him as a parting gift when we broke up.”

“Oh Evan, I thought he was a weirdo from the beginning.” Alice said. “I mean what guy brings over his PlayStation and games every time he’s staying at his girlfriends’ house?”

“A loser guy, that’s who!” I groaned. “Not that Justin was any better.”

“True.” Alice agreed with me. “What was up with his hair?”

“His hair was the least of his problems.” I giggled as I remembered my other ex. “Remember when we caught him using your concealer to cover up his acne.”

“I know.” She groaned. “I caught him using my toothbrush once as well. He was so gross.”

“Ugh, I always seem to pick the worst guys.”

“Don’t look now, but the posse is headed towards us.” Alice said softly.

“Ugh, I don’t even want to see Xander or Gabby’s face. Please say we can go out tonight.”

“Fine.” She grinned. “Let’s see how much more trouble we can get ourselves into.

“Let’s play scrabble tonight.” Scott popped his head into my room later that afternoon.

“Sorry, we’re going out.” I looked up at him from my vanity.

“Going out where?” He frowned. “That’s no fair.”

“Alice and I are going out to meet some men as we don’t want to end up as old maids.”

“It’s too late for that.” He grinned and I poked him in the abdomen. “Ouch, that hurt.”

“Good.” I made a face at him. “Now scram, Alice and I are trying out my different eye shadows.”

“You both look like clowns.” Scott said with a straight face as he looked at me and then at Alice. “Clowns that should stay home and play scrabble tonight.”

“Nope.” I shook my head and stood up. “Not going to happen.”

“Hey guys, we’re playing scrabble tonight.” Aiden walked into the bedroom and I groaned loudly.

“Alice and I are going out tonight. We will not be partaking in the family scrabble tournament.”

“What do you mean, you and Alice are going out?” Aiden looked at Alice and frowned. “This is meant to be a family weekend.”

“I’ve had enough family for the day.” I walked to my closet and opened the doors. “Tonight I need to forget about family.”

“Liv,” He started and I turned around to look at him with fire in my eyes. If he dared to try and tell me I couldn’t go, I was going to hit him. “Fine, have fun.” He said simply and my jaw dropped open in shock.

“What, that’s it?”

“You’re an adult. You can do what you want.”

“Oh my God, it’s the end of the world.” I looked at Alice with a smile. “Aiden is not trying to tell me what I can and can’t do.”

“I guess miracles do happen.” She said softly and I watched as Aiden laughed.

“I guess so.” I pulled out a black slinky dress that I’d worn in college and showed it to her. “Should I wear this tonight?”

“That’s hot.” Alice nodded. “Definitely wear that dress.”

“Okay, this is my cue to leave.” Scott hurried out of the bedroom and Aiden, Alice and I all looked at each other.

“So where are you two going?” Aiden asked softly and I gave him a weird look. Why was he still in the room? Why did he care where we were going? Men are so difficult to understand. I had no clue what Aiden was up to and he’s my brother.

“Not sure yet. That’s all Liv’s decision.”

“Oh okay, you trust her?” Aiden joked and my jaw opened even wider. Was that my brother teasing Alice?

“Yeah, I trust her.” Alice smiled and blushed.

“What sort of place are you guys looking for?” Aiden asked again.

“We’re looking for a place with hot men that will devour us.” I said with a laugh.

“Hmmm.” Aiden looked at me with a disapproving look. “I know a nice wine bar if you guys are interested in that?”

“No, we’re going to dirty dance and grind. Maybe we’ll drink some wine as well, but we want loud music and fast men.” I danced around and started moving my body back and forth. “I want a man that knows how to move to some hip hop, baby.”

“Okay.” Aiden frowned. “That sounds like fun.”

“It will be.” I smiled at him sweetly.

“Maybe I’ll come as well.”

“What?” My smile left my face. “No, you can’t come.”

“Come where?” Xander walked into my room.

“What is going on in here?” I turned away from him. “Why does everyone think they can just walk into my room?”

“Maybe because you have an open door policy?” Xander answered with a smirk and I just rolled my eyes. What had I ever seen in this insufferable man?

“It’s not open to you.”

“What do you want Xander?” Alice glared at him and a surge of happiness washed through me. This was why Alice was my best friend. This was why I trusted her with my life. She always had my back.

“Girls.” Aiden frowned as he looked at us. “Why are you being so hostile to Xander?”

“I don’t think we’re being hostile.” I said sweetly and turned to Xander. “Do you think we’re being hostile?”
