“You know I feel the same way about you.” I smiled at her gratefully. “We may have lost the boyfriend lottery, but we won the friend lottery.”
“Yeah, it’s a pity we’re not lesbians.” She giggled through her tears. “Then we’d be able to live happily ever after.”
“Are you hitting on me, Alice?” I winked at her, and she hit me on the shoulder.
“You never know.” She giggled and wiped her eyes. “We’ll find good guys one day.”
“Yep, let’s not look for them at the club though.” I laughed as I remembered the previous evening. “I don’t think we’re going to meet any winners in the club.”
“Yeah. Ha-ha.” She stretched. “We can forget the guys at the club.”
“Yay.” I stretched and stood up. “Okay, I think it’s time to go back to bed.”
“Me too.” She yawned again and wiped her eyes. “See you in a few hours.”
“See you this afternoon.” I giggled and walked to my bedroom.
I dropped on my bed in a heap, and before I knew it, I was fast asleep, once again having dreams of my night with Mr. Miracle Tongue.
The constant ringing of the doorbell woke me up, and I cursed into the pillow as I covered my ears. “Make it stop,” I muttered to myself.
Ding-dong.
“I’m coming!” I screamed as I jumped out of bed and hurried to the front door.
It was during times like this that I envied Alice and her ability to sleep through anything.
“Yes?” I opened the door with an attitude, and my heart dropped as I stared at Xander on the other side of the door, a huge grimace on his face.
“Hello, Liv.”
“Xander.” I nodded and glared at him. “What are you doing here? You woke me up, you know?”
“It’s Sunday afternoon, Liv.” He pushed past me and into the apartment. “Why are you in bed still?”
“I’m tired,” I muttered. “And come in, why don’t you?”
“Why did you leave so early this morning?” He glared at me as we stood in the hallway.
“What?” I yawned and glared back at him.
“You and Alice left before everyone else woke up.”
“We needed to get back. We had work to do.”
“Who is it?” Alice chose that moment to exit her bedroom, rubbing her eyes.
“You were sleeping as well?” Xander asked Alice.
“Yeah. Why?” She walked up to us and yawned again.
“So, what work did you guys have to do, Liv?” Xander raised an eyebrow and looked at me.
“I don’t have to tell you.” I looked away from him. Why was he here? “How did you get my address?”
“Aiden gave it to me,” he said shortly.
“I’m surprised he didn’t come as well,” I said, annoyed.
