And damn, they didn’t do too bad, either. I couldn’t help laughing through it, especially when Freya and Angel both tried to hit the high note, but always fell a little bit flat.
Even though it definitely was not what I’d wanted to do with my Friday night, I was absolutely enjoying myself.
Chapter 16
Freya
This wasn’t going how I’d hoped.
Sure, I knew that Ash wasn’t going to fawn all over me, but in my heart of hearts, I could admit that I’d wanted…something. Maybe a special smile, just for me, or an intimate exchange of words, or even his eyes meeting mine over a drink where we exchanged a silent…something.
Instead, what I got was a half-drunk Ashton who was flirting with every girl at the table.
Except me.
My anger was building like a shaken soda, ready to pop at literally the first person to nudge at the cap barely clinging onto the bottle.
“Whoah,” I heard Ashton say, dropping to his lap where he removed Heather’s hand, then pressed it to the table under his.
“Heather!” I yelped, standing up suddenly, making everyone stare. “Vicky, bathroom.”
My friends exchanged a look at each other, then followed me to the bathroom where I stopped them outside the room to stare hard into their faces now that we were out of earshot.
“What are you doing?” I hissed at Heather in particular, though Vicky had been flirting hard with the man, too.
“What do you mean?” Heather countered. “We’re just having fun!”
“With a guy almost fifteen years older than you!”
“So? That just means he’ll actually know how to eat pussy,” Vicky added in.
Oh God, I did not need to picture Ashton eating pussy.
“No. You do not get him! He’s mine!”
Well, that did it right there.
“I thought so,” Vicky drawled, checking her fingernails as if my words weren't some kind of earth shattering revelation. “Our little Freya has a crush on big brother Ashton.”
“Oh, stop it. He’s not my big brother.”
“You’re right. He’s Uncle Ashton.”
“Shut up!” I practically screeched, then pressed my palm over my mouth so I wasn’t screaming so loud that Angelina and Ashton could hear me from their booth.
“I don’t know how I feel yet,” I sort of lied, “But you’re my girls, and I need you to take this L for me. Whatever it is, it's…complicated. He’s been purposefully ignoring me all night and I’m about to scream. You guys flirting incessantly with him is making me want to tear my hair out!”
“All it’s going to do is clear the way for Angelina to get into those sexy cargos.”
“Yeah, well, she’s not my girl like you are. Hell, she’s probably the only one of us who should be aiming to get in his pants. Please, I’m begging you.”
They both agreed, taking turns giving me hugs before they were called for their next song.
I leaned against the wall outside the bathroom again, taking a second to get my composure back.
What the hell am I doing?
“Ash, huh?” came a voice beside me, startling the shit out of me.
