On the way back to Liam’s place, we stopped at a place called Muy Frio Margaritas. They sold all sorts of frozen alcoholic drinks to go. We purchased a big container of strawberry daiquiri, and one of piña colada, so we could replicate the same Miami Vice drink from the bar.
“I don’t know how strong these are,” Liam said. “But if I can’t drive in one hour and fifty-two minutes, I’ll call you an Uber.”
I frowned at him. “An hour and fifty-two minutes?”
“The length of the movie.” He made a disapproving click with his tongue. “Looks like someone is already winning the competition to see who’s the bigger fan.”
“I didn’t realize it’s a competition. But if it is, then I would point out that the extended cut is an hour fifty-seven, with five extra minutes of music during the battle of the bands.”
Liam sucked in his breath. “Looks like I’ve underestimated you.”
“Much like Scott underestimated the power of Ramona’s seven evil exes.”
“Indeed.”
Walking back to the car, I texted Brandi to keep her updated.
Me: Change of plans. Liam and I are going home to watch a movie.
Brandi: ALYSSA
Brandi: YOU ARE NOT
Me: It’s not what you think. It’s totally innocent. His favorite movie is Scott Pilgrim, so we’re taking our food back to his place to watch it.
Brandi: I bet you’re not going to be watching much of the movie.
Me: It’s my favorite movie. I’m watching every minute of it.
Brandi: I was trying to imply that you’ll be too busy SUCKING FACE.
Me: Sucking face? Who says that?
Brandi: You’re going to be saying that when you fill me in on how the date goes tomorrow.
Brandi: Which will be after Liam fills YOU in.
Brandi: With his penis.
Me: Joke all you want. This is totally innocent. Liam actually admitted that he only asked me out to make Jack jealous.
Brandi: Right, because men have never lied to get into a girl’s pants before.
Me: Shut up. I’ll text you when I’m leaving his place.
Brandi: I will anxiously await that text message while drinking my coffee tomorrow morning.
“What’s so funny?” Liam asked.
“My sister. I was just letting her know about the change of plans.”
He glanced over at me. “And she’s insinuating that I have less than innocent intentions?”
“No.” I paused. “Okay, yes.”
Liam laughed. “You aren’t going to be in the mood for anything saucy after I prove that I’m a bigger fan than you.”
“Bold talk from someone who doesn’t watch the extended version.”
