“Wake up, wake up.” Scott’s voice bounded into my bedroom as he banged on my bedroom door and opened it.
“What?” I groaned as I opened my eyes slowly and saw my brother’s big blue eyes gazing down at me as he stood over my bed.
“Wake up, Liv.” He pulled the duvet off of the bed, and I growled at him. “Or should I say, wake up, doggy?”
“Asshole.” I jumped out of bed and glared at him for a second before laughing. “It’s good to see you too, Scott.”
“Come here.” He gave me a big hug and then looked down on the bed. “Who’s in the bed with you? Are you a lesbian now?”
“Scott!” I shook my head at him. “It’s Alice.”
“You and Alice are dating now?” He grinned as he wiggled his eyebrows.
“Don’t be disgusting.” I glared at him, and Alice moaned as she rolled over in the bed, still sleeping and oblivious to the noise in the room.
“Just checking.” He grinned and looked down at Alice in the bed. “Wakey-wakey, Alice.”
“Don’t wake her up.” I punched him in the shoulder. “She didn’t get much sleep last night.”
“Why? What was she doing?” He licked his lips slowly, and I punched him again.
“Ugh, what’s that noise?” Alice opened her eyes slowly and then screamed.
“What?” I frowned as I stared down at her. “It’s just me and Scott.”
“No, there’s a caterpillar on my face.” She screamed again and jumped out of the bed.
“What?” I stared at her and burst out laughing.
“Take it off of me.”
“I’ll get it.” Scott laughed and pulled her toward him. He then reached to her face and pulled one of her cheap fake eyelashes off of her face. “I don’t think it was a caterpillar.”
He dangled the eyelashes in front of her eyes, and she blushed.
“Oops.” She grinned. “My bad.”
“You’re silly, Alice.” I laughed, and we all stood there for a few moments, just grinning at each other.
“Why do the three of you always look like fools?” a loud, imperious voice rumbled into the room.
I turned around with a glare. “Why do you always look like you have a stick up your ass, Aiden?” I asked him with a small smile.
“I see you still haven’t left your teen years.” He looked at me with a twinkle in his eye.
“And you’re already fifty.”
“Not quite yet.” He walked into the bedroom and gave me a quick hug. “Hello, Alice. It’s nice to see you.”
“Hi, Aiden,” she said softly, her face pink as she gazed at her crush.
I looked at Aiden critically then. I guessed I could see his appeal. He stood tall, at about six feet, with a muscular, lean build. He had dark chestnut-brown hair and sparkling blue eyes that seemed to gaze into your soul. All in all, he was a handsome man. Just not the man I would have set my best friend up with.
“What’s going on in here? An orgy?”
Xander walked in to the room with a huge smile, and I froze. He wasn’t wearing a shirt, and I couldn’t stop from looking at his perfectly chiseled chest. His six-pack looked even more defined than the last time I had seen it naked.
“Nothing.”
