“Urgh. Now I know why I hardly ever drink.”
Conor tucks my hair behind my ear and narrows his eyes at me. “You didn’t seem that drunk?”
“Well, no. I wasn’t. But Liam and Mikey… Tequila…” I groan loudly. “I only had a couple of shots.”
Conor laughs softly. “Let’s go get you some coffee and some toast and you’ll feel better.”
“Hmm,” I manage a smile. “Did we do anything while I was wasted?” I press my lips together to stop myself from laughing when I see the look on his face.
He frowns at me. “What? You don’t remember?”
“Remember what?” I giggle and it makes my head throb again.
“Jessie!”
“Of course I do. I’m just playing.”
“Thank fuck,” he breathes.
“It was amazing by the way.” I smile at him and my cheeks suddenly burn with heat at the memory of both him and Shane taking me together.
“It sure was, Angel,” he says with a soft groan as though he’s remembering too.
“We can do it again sometime, right?” I whisper because he said it could only be a one-time thing.
“Yeah we can do it again for my birthday.” He winks at me before rolling out of bed.
The brothers’ Aunt Em, cousin Aoife and her husband, Noel arrived shortly after Conor and I got out of bed. I woke the twins too, who were passed out on Liam’s bed still wearing their clothes from the night before. A pint of water along with a cup of coffee and a slice of toast eased my hangover but I’m not sure theirs will be as easy to shift.
Now, we’re all sitting at the kitchen table eating pastries and toast and jelly and talking about how much fun we had at Shane’s surprise party last night.
Mikey almost snorts coffee out of his nose when we remind him that he fell on his ass after he challenged Lucia Montoya to a dance-off and decided to try a Magic Mike style dance to Pony using one of the kitchen chairs.
“You made us all call you Magic Mikey,” I giggle.
“I forgot about that too,” Liam says as he holds onto his sides.
“You’re lucky you landed on your ass, Magic Mikey,” Shane tells him with a grin. “You almost face-planted the tiles.”
He rubs a hand over his jaw. “And it would have been a damn shame to damage this handsome face.”
“It sure would,” I agree.
“We should have more parties,” Mikey says with a huge smile on his face.
“Well, as long as they’re not for me,” Shane replies as he takes a sip of his coffee.
“Aw, you loved it.” I ruffle his hair and he smiles.
“Did you have any idea at all they were planning this?” Aoife asks him.
“No,” Shane says with a shake of his head. “The four of them didn’t give anything away. These two played their parts like Broadway actors when they were trying to get me back here.” He nods toward Conor and Liam, and I close my eyes as I remember the reason Mikey used to get him back to the apartment.
“I obviously missed my calling,” Liam says as he take a bite of a pastry.
“Hmm. Assholes,” Shane says with a grin.
“What time does your flight leave?” I ask Em.
