“You mean after you snitched to Coach that I’m drunk and he called the principal and my dear old dad?”
“Everyone smelled vodka on you, Knight.”
“More like breathed it.” Aiden leans on an elbow and grabs a ball to twirl it on his index finger.
I lay my head back. “The usual. I’m not allowed to ruin his image and blah fucking blah.”
“And the rehab,” Aiden adds. “He asked Jonathan for recommendations. If my father knows, then it’s happening.”
“At least you’ll stop getting drunk like a fool.” Cole raises an eyebrow.
“And you’ll stop the self-pity parties.”
“And the pussy moments.”
“Speaking of which, why don’t you get some?”
“Great idea.” Cole retrieves his phone. “I can call Summer or Veronica, or maybe both.”
“Add Silver to the menu and I might be interested.” I grin.
His expression doesn’t change as he tucks his phone away. “None, then.”
“Why not?” Aiden smirks. “I like Knight’s idea.”
Cole cocks his head in Aiden’s direction. “You of all people get to shut the fuck up, King.”
“Petty little bitch.” Aiden’s attention returns to me. “So, little bitch two, I don’t have all night to nurse your drunk arse. Are you going to get your shit together or should we all vote for rehab?”
“He’s going to take her virginity,” I say the only thing I’ve been thinking about. There’s so much pain in my voice, so much…fucking resignation.
“Who and who?” Cole asks.
“Yeah, details. Nash has a virgin kink.” Aiden raises an eyebrow. Cole narrows his eyes on him, then focuses back on me.
“Ronan, that fucker, is going to take her virginity,” I slur.
“That is, if she’s still a virgin.” Aiden throws the ball in the air. “This is the twenty-first century. Not everyone is waiting for a knight in shining armour. Sorry, I meant a drunk fool.”
“Kimberly might look innocent, but those are the most hardcore,” Cole adds.
“Take his word. He knows his shit.” Aiden points at Cole.
“Not better than you. Elsa seems like the hardcore type.”
Aiden’s grey eyes nearly turn black as his left one twitches. “Think about Elsa in a hardcore way again, and you’ll be buried in Jonathan’s new construction site.”
Cole smirks. “Is that a promise?”
“No, the promise is unbinding her,” Aiden says.
“She is none of your fucking business.”
Aiden raises a brow. “Are you sure, though?”
Cole flips him off then studies me again as if I’m one of his philosophical theories that he needs to set straight. “How are you sure Kim is a virgin?”
“She just is, okay? I know.” And I heard her mention it to Elsa a week or so ago when they had their girls’ sex talk, and I might have learnt shit about Aiden I can’t bleach from my mind.
