“What is all that?” I heard Nick’s voice behind Aria.

I looked at him over her shoulder and saw he was pointing at Aria in my arms. She turned around to look at him, and I let her go.

“I managed to project only on Gabriel!” Aria told him.

Nick smiled warmly at her. “Nice job, love. I knew you could do it.”

He walked up to her and kissed her forehead, and she wrapped her arms around his waist.

“You are a badass, Minnie,” Blake said and sat down beside Cassie.

“Thanks, Blakey,” Aria grinned at him.

“What did I tell you about calling me that?!” he narrowed his eyes at her in mock anger.

Cassie, Aria, and Jacob burst out laughing.

“Oh, Goddess, I totally forgot about Blakey,” Cassie said as she laughed loudly.

Blake rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest.

“Nick, can you help me with something in the kitchen?” Aria asked him.

He nodded and started walking. Aria followed him and looked at me intently. She was leading him away so I could tell the guys about the surprise party.

As soon as they left, I walked over to the guys and sat down on the couch.

“Tomorrow is Nick’s birthday,” I said quietly. “Aria and I were thinking about throwing him a surprise party tonight.”

Cassie squealed excitedly.

I shushed her down. “You will give it away.”

“Sorry,” she smiled. “I am excited. It’s been a while since we went to a party.”

“You mean it’s been a while since you had an excuse to wear a dress,” Jacob said teasingly.

“That too,” she rolled her eyes.

“Okay, so does everyone agree?” I asked, looking among the three of them.

They nodded, and I smiled.

“It will not be anything big,” I said. “We can’t go buy him anything. But we have enough liquor and snacks to relax and have fun tonight.”

“Great,” Blake sighed. “I think we all need it.”

I nodded, and Cassie shushed us. “They are coming back.”

Aria and Nick walked back inside, and Aria gave me a questioning look. I nodded and she smiled.

“Do you want to have a spa day, Ari?” Cassie asked, turning to look at Aria. “Just you and me. Hair mask, face mask, soaking in the bathtub. What do you say?”

“I say hell yes,” Aria smiled. “That sounds amazing.”

“Great,” Cassie said and got off the couch.

She grabbed Aria’s hand and pulled her upstairs. They were laughing and chatting excitedly.
