“Says who?” She shook her head. “You look hot, sexy, beautiful, amazing, and perfect.” She pointed her finger at me. “Fuck those skinny bitches. Every man wants a woman with curves.”
“I don’t know about that.” I laughed.
“Well, if he wants a stick, then he’s not for us.” She grinned and pulled on her short black dress.
“True.”
“Any guy looking for a stick will be disappointed with me.” I giggled. “I’ll never be a stick. My boobs are way too big.”
“Men love big boobs.”
“Well, mine haven’t helped me much yet.”
“They will tonight.” She gazed at my partially exposed boobs. “Vavoom, vavoom.”
“Thanks, Alice.” I shook my head.
“I’m ready, I think.” She pulled on her heels and then looked at me. “What about you?”
“Yeah, I guess I’m ready.” I nodded and grabbed a handbag from the closet and then slid my feet into my black stilettos. “I hope I don’t fall in these. My feet are already killing me,” I moaned.
“You’ll be fine. Just hold on to my arm.”
“I need alcohol.” I giggled as we made our way out of my bedroom.
“Me too.” She agreed. “I want to get drunk tonight.”
“I want to get slizzard,” I said.
“What’s slizzard?” she asked me in confusion, and I looked at her and laughed.
“I have no idea.” I shrugged. “I just heard that term recently and thought it sounded good.”
“It does. It sounds cool. Here’s to us getting slizzard.”
“Slizzard, baby.”
We linked arms and made our way to the front door.
“Liv.” Aiden’s voice boomed through the house as I opened the front door.
“Yes?” I stopped and rolled my eyes.
“Come into the living room, please.”
“Why?”
“We want to see you before you go out.”
“Ugh.” I looked at Alice, and we made a face at each other. “He is so frigging annoying. He needs to get married and have kids already. Oops.” I made a face as I looked at Alice.
“It’s fine.” She gave me a lopsided smile. “I’m sure he’ll make a good father.”
“Let’s face the army and then leave,” I said with an exasperated sigh, and we walked toward the living room.
“Good evening, everyone,” I said as we walked into the room.
All eyes fell to Alice and me, and I almost laughed at the different expressions on everyone’s faces. Aiden looked stunned, Henry looked impressed, Gabby looked pissed, Chett looked bored, Scott looked excited, and Xander … well, Xander looked brooding. I could feel his eyes surveying my entire body, and I had to tell myself to resist looking at him again.
