It did? I looked at her questioningly.
Well, Liv got the boy, didn t she?
Yeah, I guess so. I nodded and sighed. Yeah, I guess it did end up working for
Liv.
I can t wait to meet her. Elizabeth smiled at me and my heart thudded as I realized
that she was a completely genuine and nice person. She was the sort of person who I d
have as a friend if she weren t trying to steal my man away from me.
Yeah, I m sure Liv wants to meet you as well. I turned away from her and looked
at Aiden. You didn t tell me your girlfriend was coming.
Uhm, Elizabeth isn t my girlfriend, Aiden said with a pleasant look, but his eyes
never left my face.
Yeah, we re not dating, Elizabeth interjected. We ve only gone out a few times.
Do you know where Aiden was last night? I said pettily and immediately regretted
it. Who was I becoming? Why was I acting like this? I knew I was letting my jealousy get
the better of me and I didn t like it.
No, should I? Elizabeth asked with a small laugh and then looked up at Aiden.
Where were you last night?
I was at Liv s place watching a movie with Alice, he replied nonchalantly and
smiled at me. I glared back at him. What game was he playing?
Oh, awesome. What movie? she asked and I wondered how she could be so
trusting. If a guy I was seeing told me he d gone to watch a movie with another woman, I
would not be smiling and taking it this nicely. In fact, if I were dating Aiden officially and
he had told me that he had gone to watch a movie with Elizabeth, I would have let him
know exactly what I thought about him. I don t play around, and I certainly do not let my
guys go on dates with other girls. And yes, I know, last night hadn t exactly been a date.
However, we had kissed and I d been on his lap and he d been hard for me. I d felt his
hardness on my ass. And yes, I had tried my best to get him excited, but I hadn t made
him rise to the occasion. He had done that himself. I knew that if Aiden had gotten hard
for another girl while dating me, it would have been over.
I can t remember, I said and looked down, suddenly feeling guilty. Why was she so
nice and why was I so horrible? Why did I feel like the other woman?
That good, huh? She laughed and we both looked up as Scott and Liv approached
the table. I watched Elizabeth s eyes widen as she gazed at Scott and his eyes narrowed as
he gazed at her. I almost wondered if I d imagined the exchange because within seconds
they were both smiling normally and Aiden was making introductions.
Liv and I made eye contact, and I could tell that she looked as confused as I did
when Elizabeth had arrived. We were both thinking, why was this girl here? And she was
totally ruining our plan of me making Aiden want me. How could I make Aiden want me
if there was another girl with him right now? Why would he even care about me? And
why was he acting so funny about Scott if he had Elizabeth? Maybe it was a simple case of
wanting what you didn t really want because you couldn t have it. All of a sudden, I felt
really sorry for myself.
Excuse me, but I m not feeling well, I said and stood up. My head was pounding
and my insides felt empty. All of a sudden I felt tired, really, really tired.
What s wrong, Alice? Liv looked at me with wide eyes. I think she could tell from
my face that I was close to tears.
Nothing, maybe I m coming down with a cold. I attempted a cough and looked at
the group. I m going to go home. I looked at Elizabeth and smiled weakly. It was nice
meeting you.
You too. She looked nervous and worried as she smiled at me, and I saw her look
at Aiden a few times. I looked over at him and his face looked expressionless. I had no
idea what he was thinking.
I ll walk you home, Scott said, and I watched as Aiden frowned.
Thanks, I said gratefully, not caring what Aiden thought at this point.
Do you want me to come? Liv said, and I shook my head.
No, no. You stay. I m fine. I gave her a weak smile and rubbed my head. I ll see
you later, okay?
Okay. She nodded and sat down.
Ready? Scott said and grabbed my hand. Lean on me, I ll help you.
Thanks, I said gratefully and hurried away from the table. We walked out of the
coffee shop fairly quickly, and I took a deep breath of fresh air as we walked along the
street.
You okay, Alice? Scott stopped and pulled me over to the side of the street. His
eyes searched mine, and he had a small smile on his face.
Yes, why? I asked softly.
I m not going to pretend to know what s going through your head, he said as he
gazed at me. But I am going to give you some advice. You need to fight for what you
want. You need to grab life by the horns and go after your dreams and goals.
What are you talking about? I said and swallowed hard.
I know you like Aiden. He gave me a half-smile and shook his head. I don t know
why you prefer him to me, but I know you do.
I, uh & I stammered. I wasn t sure what to say to him. Had I been in a love
triangle and not even known it? That would be just my luck. I didn t want to be in a love
triangle. Not at all. Not with any percentage of my being. How icky would that make me to
be in a love triangle with two brothers? Granted, I had kissed both of them, but let s be
real, I didn t really consider my kiss with Scott anything other than a brief peck. I d
regretted it as it happened. I certainly hadn t kissed him back. And there was no tongue
involved. Thank God! So really, it wasn t even a kiss. What sort of kiss doesn t involve
tongue?
There s no need for you to say anything. Scott laughed and we continued walking
again. I m just saying you need to fight for what you want. And if you want Aiden, you
have to let him know. Without the games. And without the tricks. He reached forward
and patted me on the nose. I know you and my sister love to play games and stuff, but
Aiden s not the guy for that sort of thing. He doesn t have patience for games or tricks.
I don t have a shot with him anyway, I said with a sigh. He has Elizabeth.
I wouldn t be so sure about that. Scott s eyes narrowed and he looked thoughtful.
