“I’ll just stick with eggs and bacon,” I muttered.
“Try a cookie, Luna,” Ashton said, waggling his eyebrows. “We could have some fun.”
I grimaced. “No. Thank you.”
“Have you talked to Zach today?” Meadow handed me a plate of food.
“I did,” I said, picking up a piece of bacon off the plate in front of me. “He couldn’t sleep either.”
“Must be something in the water,” Aiden mumbled.
Ashton grunted.
“Is he coming to the party tonight?” Gigi asked, shoving a forkful of eggs into her mouth.
“I believe so. He has a dinner meeting at seven first that he invited me to. It’s with a possible client.” The parties that Gigi threw were once every couple of months. Since all of us worked hard, it was her way of making it so we could relax, forget about our day jobs and just unwind. I knew that once we got older and started getting married, having kids and so on, the parties would be few and far between. So she threw them now while she could.
“Which reminds me, I’m going to need help in deciding what to wear,” I told Meadow and Gigi.
Silence fell around the table. You would think I just told them that I was pregnant.
Ashton broke the silence by letting out a cheer. “I knew it. That’s fifty bucks, brother.”
Aiden rolled his eyes. “It wasn’t a bet, asshole.”
“Doesn’t matter.” Ashton punched him in the shoulder. “You still owe me.”
“We never shook on it.” Aiden leaned back in his chair. “Doesn’t count.”
“Wait.” I looked between them both. “You guys had a bet going about me?”
“No. My brother did,” Aiden said, nodding toward Ashton.
“Placing a bet on your friends is a little immature, don’t you think?” Meadow asked, raising a dark eyebrow.
Ashton glanced between her and the rest of us. “Nope.” He glared at his brother. “Fifty. In my hand. Now.”
“No.” Aiden sat forward. “He made the bet. Not me. Like I said, we never shook on it.”
“What was the bet?” Gigi asked, rising from the table and gathering up the empty plate.
“That Luna and Zach would be the first ones to go on a date out of all of us.” Ashton held out his hand and tapped his palm. “I don’t see any money.”
Aiden rolled his eyes.
“It’s not really a date. I’m going with Zach out of support.” Although as I said the words, it didn’t stop the nervous flutter from racing through me.
Ashton tapped his palm again.
Aiden slapped some bills in his twin’s hand. “Happy?”
“You guys need to get lives,” I laughed, shaking my head.
“Alright, kids.” Meadow placed another plate of pastries on the table. “Eat up so I have an excuse to make more stuff.”
“How the hell did you have time to make all of this?” Ashton asked, grabbing a croissant off the plate.
Meadow laughed. “I don’t sleep.”
