“I think you mean the bridesmaid and the best man, and Ava, I don’t think anyone is expecting you to sleep with anyone!” I toldher.
“Well I’ve already slept with the best man!” she announced, waving her arm in theair.
“What! When?” I cried, shocked that neither of them had said anything tome.
“Erm…a few months ago,” she replied sheepishly. “We bumped into each other here and one thing led to another. Are you mad?” she asked, her face flushing fromembarrassment.
I sighed. “No, I’m not mad. I can hardly be mad when I’m dating my brother’s best friend, I’m just surprised you never said anything, that’sall.”
“You had a lot going on,” she said, gesturing to my bump. “And what was I going to say? ‘Oh, by the way, I slept with your brother—he’s great in bed and does amazing things with hisfingers.’”
“Oh God!” I shouted, covering my ears with my hands. “That’s my brother! I don’t need to know all the details!” I said, horrified. She raised her eyebrows at me and I nodded. “Okay, okay, some things we don’t need to share with each other,” I said, laughing. “Let’s change thesubject.”
Just then Harper arrived with a tray full of drinks. “Look who I found at the bar,” she said, motioning behind her. I looked past her and saw her older brother, Aaron, carrying another tray of drinks. Aaron was a few years older than Brody and Josh and was a mechanic at the garage in MarbleFalls.
“Hey Aaron,” I called out. “Has Harp got you playingbartender?”
“Something like that,” he said, rolling his eyes as he placed the tray on thetable.
“Bloody hell Harper! How many drinks did you buy?” Lib asked, her eyes wide as she looked at the twotrays.
“It’s four deep at that bar. This will keep us going…for a bit anyway.” She laughed, handing out the shots before passing me my Diet Coke. Aaron grabbed his bottle of beer off the tray and squeezed into the booth next to me. “To Libby!” Harper yelled, thrusting her glass into the middle of the table in a toast. We all moved our glasses in, clinking them against eachother.
“To Libby!” we all shouted in unison, the four of them chugging their drinks as I sipped on my soda. I laughed as I watched Libby’s face as she swallowed the drink Harper had givenher.
“Urghhh! That was disgusting!” she yelled, closing her eyes and shaking her head. Libby rarely drank so I knew a few more drinks like that and she wouldn’t be able towalk.
“Let’s dance!” Ava cried out, pulling Libby from thebooth.
“I’ll stay with the drinks,” I offered. “I could do with a rest anyway,” I said, placing my hand on mybump.
“I’ll stay with you,” Libby said. “I don’t want to leave you here on yourown.”
“I’ll stay with her, you go off and dance,” Aaron said, waving his hand toward the dancefloor.
“Nobody needs to stay with me! I’ll be fine!” Iexclaimed.
“I’m staying,” Aaron insisted. “I’m not in the mood for dancinganyway.”
“Fine. Lib, go have fun. I’ll come find you in a bit,” I promised. She nodded, letting Ava lead her onto the packed dancefloor.
After they were gone, I turned to Aaron. “You really don’t need to stay with me youknow.”
“I know, but I could do with the company anyway…” He trailedoff.
“Are you okay?” Aaron was usually the heart and soul of any party, and although I didn’t know him that well, I could tell something waswrong.
“Just man trouble.” He sighed. “I don’t really want to talk about it.” I knew Aaron was gay, and from what Harper had said, he was in a long-term relationship, but obviously, things weren’t going toogreat.
“Okay, well if you change your mind, I’m happy to listen,” I told him, not wanting to push him into telling me anything, even if the nosey side of me really wanted toknow.
“Thanks Sav. What about you anyway? I hear you and the very sexy Josh Miller are now an item—and baby makes three,” he said with a smile, his eyes dropping to mybump.
“Yes.” My hand rubbed over my stomach. “I finally landed the man of my dreams. I’ve only been waiting since I was about14!”
“Bet he’s worth the wait though darlin’,” he said as he wriggled his eyebrows atme.
I laughed. “Yeah, you could say that,” I replied, my mind drifting back to his head between my legs just a few hoursbefore.
