One Chance (Part 1)(68)
“I have to or I’ll fall deeper for a guy I can’t have.”
“But you do have him Haley, that’s what you don’t see.”
“Liam wouldn’t date me, that’s why we’re doing what we’re doing.”
“I bet he would. You know what, we should ask him,” Quinn says excitedly.
“NO,” I shout at her idea, “We aren’t going to do that.”
“But then you would know.”
“I don’t want to know.”
“Why not?”
“Because if we ask him, then he’s going to know I like him more and it could completely ruin our friendship and what we have right now.”
“Or, it could develop into so much more.”
“I’m not willing to take that risk, not right now anyway,” I deadpan.
“Fine, but you’ll need to do it eventually.”
“Eventually yes, but for now let me just enjoy what time I have with him.”
“Ugh, fine. Are you seeing him tonight?”
“Yeah after practice.”
“You two seem like you’re in a relationship.”
“We do not.”
“You see him almost every day,” she argues.
“It’s sex Quinn. We meet up, have sex, and sometimes go our separate ways.”
“No, it’s usually go hang out, have sex, then sleep, wake up the next morning and you come home or he goes home. That’s a relationship sweetheart.”
“Can you please just stop?” I beg.
“Sure for now, I will.”
“Thank you, now I need to get back to this paper,” I say as I grab my laptop to start working on it.
The rest of the evening is spent doing homework until Liam comes over to hang out. The rest of the week is pretty much the same thing, school, hang out with the girls at the house and then at night sometimes meet up with Liam.
“What are you doing tonight?” Quinn asks.
“Probably going to a party.”
“No Liam tonight?” she asks shocked.
“Haha, I’m meeting up with him later.”
“Of course you are,” she says laughing.
“How about you, where’s Mark?”
“I’m actually heading over to his place shortly.”
“Oh nice, you two seem to be getting serious,” I say excited for my best friend.
“We are. He’s great and I really like him.”
“Good and he seems like a good guy, you deserve that.”
“I completely agree,” she says laughing.
“So I won’t be going to a party with you tonight then.”
“Actually, you are.”
“Huh?” I ask confused.
“We are going to Alpha Phi. You can have Liam meet you there.”
“Where’s Mark?”
“He’s going to meet me at Alpha Phi later too. So go get dressed, text loverboy and let’s go,” she says rushing me along. “Oh, and it’s dress night at Alpha Phi, so make sure to wear a sexy dress.”
I head into my closet and decide on a short red cocktail dress. It’s short and has a sweetheart neckline with spaghetti straps. I throw on some silver heels, curl my hair, go light on my make-up and I’m ready to go within the hour.
“Wow, that dress looks amazing on you,” Quinn says as I enter our room.
“Thanks. It doesn’t look too tight does it?” I ask as I pull the hemline down a little ways.
“No, it shows all your curves. Liam is going to go nuts tonight,” she says laughing.
“Would you stop it? No he won’t.”
“Haley Lawrence, that man is going to be rushing you out of that damn house when he sees you in that.”
“What, why would he do that?” I ask as I look at myself in the mirror again.
“Because he isn’t going to want anyone looking at you,” she says all serious.
“You’re positive it looks okay?” I ask as I turn in a circle trying to make sure it looks good.
“You look like a little sexy vixen. Your boobs look awesome in that dress, as well as your ass. The guys are going to go nuts,” she says excitedly. “But since you are wearing that, I need to change,” she says before rushing into her closet.
“No you don’t. I like that dress.”
“No, not sexy enough.” She says as she tosses dress after dress out until she comes out with a cute little black number. Quinn puts on a halter style black dress that is short and hugs every curve of her body. It has absolutely no back.
“Damn, I love your dress,” I say in jealousy. She looks absolutely stunning in it.
“Thanks. Now we are ready to go,” she says as she slips her heels on.
We grab our coats and purses and head out the door. We make the short walk to the party and I’m surprised to see it isn’t crazy busy yet.
