“Maybe not now but you will.” I grabbed a mug and poured myself a cup of coffee then did the same for everyone else. Once I had milk in my cup, I sat back and took a sip, embracing the heavenly aroma.
“That will never happen.” Gigi sat at the table across from us, resting her chin in her hand.
“It will,” I said. “Give it time.”
Zach placed his arm on the back of my chair, brushing his thumb back and forth over my bare arm.
I sighed. This was bliss. Zach and I were moving forward, and life just seemed almost too good to be true.
“You would be fine with that?” Gigi asked.
Before I could answer, a bang sounded from the backyard.
“See!” Gigi cried, shoving to her feet. “I wasn’t losing my damn mind!”
“Stay here.” Zach rushed to the patio doors and turned on the light leading into the backyard. “You have got to be fucking kidding me.”
“What’s going on?” I asked, my heart racing.
Zach looked back at us before opening the doors and stepping outside.
I passed a glance at Gigi and Meadow before I jumped to my feet and followed him. “Zach?”
Once I stepped a foot outside, my eyes widened.
Zach was walking toward me with…
“Aiden?” I rushed to them.
“He’s drunk,” Zach muttered, helping Aiden walk toward the house.
I went to his other side and hooked his arm around my shoulders, helping Zach.
“What the hell?” Meadow demanded, coming up to us. “You said you were going to stop this shit,” she said, scolding Aiden.
He only grunted.
“He probably won’t even remember anything you say to him,” I told her.
“Fine. I’m going to go bake.” Meadow spun on her heel and headed into the kitchen.
Zach and I brought Aiden into the house and laid him on the couch.
“Here.” Gigi handed me a glass of water and two Tylenol.
“Take these,” I said, handing them to Aiden.
“Fuck,” he grumbled, doing as he was told. When he was done the water, I took it from him and placed it on the table before kneeling on the floor beside him.
“What happened?” I asked him, not wanting to judge but when this had happened more often than not, it became a bit of a concern.
“Nothing.” He rested his arm across his forehead, shielding his eyes.
“Luna.” Zach reached down and grabbed my hand, pulling me to my feet. “Let him sleep it off. It’s all he can do right now.”
“Fine.” I pulled the blanket off the back of the couch and covered him.
“Thank you,” Aiden muttered, his breaths soon becoming even.
