“What?”
“So what happens with Elizabeth now?”
“No idea,” I shrugged and then paused. “Though you wanna know something funny? When we were at the coffee shop and I saw Scott and Elizabeth looking at each other, it seemed to me that they had already met.”
“Oh, really?” Liv looked at me curiously. “Like, through Aiden?”
“No.” I shook my head and thought back to that moment. “It was as if they knew each other better than that. I don’t know. Maybe I imagined it, but I swear I thought to myself that they had a really intense stare for a few seconds and then it passed.”
“Ooh,” Liv murmured. “I wonder how they know each other?”
“Yeah, me too.” I grinned at her. “I’m going to see if I can find out.”
“Oh, Alice,” she groaned as we walked into the restaurant. “Can we eat first and then figure out a plan?”
“Sure,” I said as I took a deep breath and smelled the greasy wonderfulness that was fried chicken and French fries. “Let’s eat first.”
I lay in bed feeling full and happy. I was about to roll over and go to sleep when my phone beeped.
Hey sweet pea.I grinned as I saw the message from Aiden.
Alice:Hey.
Aiden:I missed you today.
Alice:Oh wanted to get some spanking in?
Aiden:Hmm. I’d use any excuse to touch your ass.
Alice:How was work?
Aiden:Good. I thought about you all day though. Had a big boner. :)
Alice:Aw, how special!I typed, but inside I frowned. Was this all about sex to Aiden?
Aiden:What are you wearing right now?
Alice:Why?
Aiden:I want to picture you.
Alice:Okay …
Aiden:So what are you wearing and where are you?
Alice:I’m at a costume party and I’m wearing a rat costume.
Aiden:Not sexy. :(
Alice:Where are you and what are you wearing?
Aiden:I’m in bed. Naked and thinking of you.
Alice:Oh Aiden, the words I’ve always wanted to hear.
Aiden:I wish you were here.
Alice:I’m sure you do.
