“You want to talk to him first,” Piper finished for me, handing me a short black skirt.
“Is it bad that I just want us to keep having fun and not actually talk about our feelings?” Now I was starting to sound like Ashton.
“Now you sound like Ashton,” Meadow said, taking the thought right out of my head.
Piper nodded. “It’s true.”
“You can have all the fun you want,” Luna told me. “But just make sure that you’re only having fun with him.”
“Trust me, there’s no one else in the picture.” The thought never even crossed my mind. “I know about Vince and his possessive ways.”
“I don’t think you do.” Luna looked between all of us. “What? I’m serious. Gigi may have never seen it in action but I sure as hell have. How many guys have you heard ask us if she’s single only for them to disappear?”
My eyes widened.
“She’s being dramatic.” Piper came up to my side. “What your future sister in-law is trying to say is that Vince has overheard guys asking us if you were single and he stopped it from going further than that.”
“That’s not much better than what Luna just said.” I wasn’t sure if I should be pissed or flattered.
“Yes, it is.” Meadow winked. “Besides, it’s hot as hell.”
“You’d probably think fucking a pineapple would be hot.” I turned away from them and started rummaging through a pile of clothes that I could possibly wear for my little dance.
“Probably,” she said just as the door opened.
All of our heads whipped around, finding Vince leaning against the doorframe. “You know the party’s not in here, right?”
“Did you see Corbin?” I asked, ignoring his question.
“I did. First time meeting the guy and he told me that we’re now best friends.” Vince chuckled, shaking his head.
“What’s this I hear that you stopped guys from asking me out?” I asked, casually picking up ripped fishnet stockings.
“On that note, we should go.” Piper rounded up the girls, heading to the door.
“Careful with her,” Meadow murmured, patting his arm. “She’s a firecracker.”
He didn’t say anything but came farther into the room before kicking the door closed. “I happen to agree with your sister.”
“What do you want? Shouldn’t you be mingling?” I turned away from him and reached for the pile of clothes when a dark shadow loomed over me.
“What’s going on?” Vince asked gently, covering my hand and slipping his fingers between mine.
“You stopped guys from asking me out.” I met his intense stare. “Didn’t you?”
“Not exactly.”
Crossing my arms under my chest, I leaned against the table and stared up at him. “Then tell me what happened.” I had always wondered why guys flirted but it had never amounted to anything more than that.
“I overheard the girls talking about some guys wanting to ask you out. Random fuckers who went to your parties and shit.” Vince pinched my chin, brushing his thumb over my bottom lip. “The thought of another man taking you out, wining and dining you, possibly even kissing you or more, made me want to burn the mother fucking world down. But I never stopped it. I just spread some rumors.”
“What kind of rumors?” I ran my hand down his dress shirt, remembering that I had stuffed my panties into his pocket.
“I had it spread that you had a boyfriend who had family in the yakuza.”
I opened my mouth to say something but thought better of it. “Oh.”
Vince gave me a small smile. “I like you, Gigi. I’ve always liked you. I wasn’t going to let someone else ruin you before I got a chance to.”
