“Crap, Rebecca said she wanted to come,” Quinn says as we head into the house.
“Oh, she’s coming with Rob.”
“Thank goodness, I completely forgot to say something to her.”
“No worries, she knew about it all week.”
“So, we’ll see her later then.”
“Sure will,” I say as I take off my coat. We give our coats to a girl who takes them to hang up. Then we make our way towards the kitchen for drinks.
“This place looks amazing,” Quinn says looking around.
“It sure does. They did a great job,” I agree, looking at all the decorations. Tonight girls have to wear dresses and guys have to wear dress pants and dress shirts. Ties are welcome, but not mandatory.
“Do you want a shot?” Quinn asks.
“Sure,” I say as she pours us each a shot. “To best friends and great sex,” I say as Quinn laughs, we clink glasses and down the shots.
We end up mingling with some of the girls and Rebecca when she shows up. Quinn and I have a few beers and another shot while we wait for Mark and Liam to show up.
“I’m going to get another beer, do you want one?” I ask Quinn.
“Yeah, I’ll come along,” she says. We head to the kitchen to get another drink and run into Meg.
“Well, well, look who it is,” she says all snooty.
“What are you doing here?” Quinn asks, looking pissed.
“I’m having fun, what does it look like?”
“You aren’t supposed to be at any sorority or fraternity functions.”
“It looks like I’m at this one. I’m actually meeting Liam here,” she says with an evil smirk.
“Good for you,” I say as I move past her to get my drink.
“I don’t know how you thought you two would ever be anything. He’s too good for you,” she says being a bitch.
“You think he’d go back to you after what you did?” Quinn shouts pissed off.
“I don’t have to think sweetie, we’re already back together.”
“What?” Quinn yells, asking the question I’m wanting to ask.
“We got back together today. You can try to get him as much as you want, he’d never want you,” Meg says looking directly at me.
“You’re lying,” Quinn yells.
“I’m not lying. You can ask him when he gets here,” Meg says looking serious.
I fill up two cups of beer and grab Quinn, pulling her out of the kitchen before she says anything else.
“What the hell just happened?” Quinn asks confused.
“I don’t know,” I say taking a long drink of my beer.
“She’s lying, check your phone.”
I grab my phone out of my clutch to see a message from Liam. “I’ll be there then, but we need to talk.” I read the message aloud. “I guess I know what he wants to talk about,” I say feeling bummed.
Chapter Thirteen
“He’s not with her,” Quinn reiterates.
“She didn’t look like she was lying Quinn. I’m not surprised; I told you we would never date anyway. I already knew it; I just need to accept it.”
“Would you stop? You don’t see the way he looks at you? That boy likes you, hell, he may even love you!” she says yelling at me.
“I’ll see what he has to say and go from there, but I can’t forget what she just said,” I say taking another drink.
“Fine, but try to not think about it.”
“Think about what?” Liam asks, surprising us.
“Oh, a homework assignment next week,” Quinn says quickly.
“Why are you thinking about homework now?” he asks confused.
“I just realized I forgot about a paper, that’s all,” I lie.
“Ok. You look fantastic,” he says as he clearly peruses my body.
“Thank you. You look pretty spiffy yourself,” I say as I take in his red dress shirt black slacks and black and red blocked tie. He matches my dress perfectly.
“You two match, it looks great,” Quinn chimes in. I start laughing and so does Liam; neither of us said what color we were wearing.
“Yes we do,” Liam says appreciatively.
“What did you want to talk about?” I ask curiously.
“Oh, I’ll talk to you about it later. Do you want a drink?”
“I’m good,” I say holding up my nearly full beer.
“Okay, I’m going to go grab a drink quick. I’ll be right back,” he says before turning and heading towards the kitchen.
“Let’s watch and see what happens,” Quinn says, pushing us to where we have an angle to see into the kitchen where Meg still is.
I watch as Liam walks into the kitchen and Meg rushes over to him throwing her arms around his neck. It’s hard to see if she kisses him, because we can’t see his facial expression, but it appears that he’s hugging her back.
