“I just thought…never mind.”
“You thought that I’m desperate enough to try to get my hands on you when I know that you have a girlfriend?” she says. “Desperate enough and cunning enough to tell Mia? What the hell for? I told you, I’m engaged. I have a fiancé now and we’re happy together. Why would I want to do that?”
“I’m sorry,” I say. “I didn’t mean to sound rude. I wasn’t thinking. I saw you and…”
“You thought that I had some kind of obsession with you?”
“It’s been a rough few weeks. I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to imply that you were some desperate girl looking to get back with me. And I’m glad that you’re with someone and that it’s serious.”
“Thank you,” Ashley says. “And it’s okay. Honestly, I’m just happy that I got to see you. And we were always friends, Teague. We can still be that. So if you ever want to talk, well, you have my number.”
“Hey guys,” Mia says, announcing her presence and kissing me on the cheek. “What’re you two plotting?”
“I was just making sure that Teague comes to the party,” Ashley says.
“And?” Mia asks. “Did he complain and say that he wasn’t coming?”
“He did at first,” Ashley says. “But then he agreed so I’m just
happy about that.”
“She’s lying,” I say. “She knows I never miss a reason to party.”
Ashley and Mia both smile. “I have to go find my friends,” Ashley says. “I’ll see the two of you this weekend.”
“See you Ashley!” Mia says and turns to me. “You’re not having any feelings for the ex, are you?”
“Mia, no. We were just talking.”
“I know,” Mia says. “But just to be clear: we have a strict, ill-chop-your-balls-if-you-don’t-comply policy about not fucking anyone other than each other, right?”
“I remember.”
“So don’t do it.”
“Just curious about one thing though,” I say. “With no balls in the picture, would my cock still be working? I mean, I don’t mind if it shoots blanks so long as it works.”
“Pretty sure having zero balls means no more shooting anything. Except your crazy girlfriend shooting you right in your face. With a load of lead.”
“Wow you’re really committed to the whole crazy girlfriend act. I like it.”
She glances up at me fake-sweetly and bats her eyelashes. “Baby,” she says. “What makes you think it’s an act?”
Something More
LIAM
Sebastian has barely left the room when there’s a knock on my door. Thinking it might be him again I open it and find Ashley standing outside. “Can we talk?”
I glance in the hallways to make sure there’s no one close by. When I’m certain no one is seeing us, I let her in. “What’s wrong Ashley?”
She goes right up to the dresser and checks her makeup. “How do I look?”
“Don’t you think I’m the wrong person to ask that question, Ashley?”
“Right. I forgot.”
“How can you forget?”
