“Alex! Hey, how’s it going?” Caleb greets me with a beaming smile as I approach.
I give him and Marcus a peck on the cheek. “Hey, Caleb! Marcus! I’m good. I didn’t know you guys were coming tonight. Oh, this is my best friend, Hannah. And you remember Andy, right?” I gesture towards Andy, who’s with Kyle. No surprise there.
7.
“Yeah, we were coming here anyway, but Carter told us you all were coming, so we thought we’d join forces!… Hey, Hannah, nice to meet you. I’m not surprised a beautiful girl has beautiful friends.” Caleb and Marcus both kiss Hannah on the cheek, making her blush.
Caleb’s smile returns when he catches me rolling my eyes. “What? It’s true! Carter is one lucky guy.”
“Ugh! We’re not dating, that’s just something people are making up in the tabloids.”
“Really? So you’re single?” I nod, taking a sip of my drink that Andy had fetched for me after the shots.
“So I can kiss you at midnight and he won’t kill me?” He smirks at Hannah and me, while I choke on my drink in shock at his audacity.
“Well, I’m kissing her at midnight so no, and I don’t know if he’d kill you or not? My brothers might either?” I smirk back, pointing at Hannah.
“Well, we could always not tell them and go somewhere more private. Marcus can kiss Hannah at midnight, I want one from you,” he whispered in my ear, causing me to laugh.
I turned to Hannah who was flirting with Marcus beside the balcony. She looks at me and I ask her.
“You want to kiss him at midnight and I’ll kiss Caleb?” She looks over at Marcus who is smirking at her, and then back to me with a grin and a nod.
“Alright, then buddy you got yourself a deal. But only one kiss! And don’t get handsy with me either, I give a mean knee to the balls. Ask Travis.”
“Perfect! You’re a feisty little thing, aren’t you… Yeah, I heard, he’s an ass though, always has been. But damn, you looked good that night, Alex! Don’t worry, I’m not like him, I’ll be the perfect gentleman,” he winked at me.
We kept talking for a while until we decided to take a seat at a table near us. We were flirting a lot, but he kept his hands to himself. We were laughing at each other’s jokes and he was easy to talk to.
“So tell me more about yourself, Alex”
“Well, I’m in UCLA at the moment studying Mechanical Engineering. I have two master’s degrees under my belt, one in software engineering and coding
I’m thinking of doing a degree in physics too but I’m not sure.”
“What the fuck? Are you serious! How old are you?”
“Yeah, and I’m twenty-three.”
“Wow, you must be really smart!”
“Meh, it helps when you have an eidetic memory. But I skipped two grades so I was in the same year as my brother and Knox.
I could’ve skipped more but my mom wouldn’t let me. Got a scholarship to college, blah blah blah.”
“Wow! Just when I thought you couldn’t get any sexier.”
I look down at my drink and swirl it around. That’s when Knox comes over to join our little chat.
“You guys want drinks?” We both nod with Caleb not looking at Knox.
“I’ll have a sex on the beach please.”
“Will you now?” Caleb smirks at me. “I’ll have a whiskey on the rocks,” he tells Knox over his shoulder.
We continue to talk for a little until Knox comes back with drinks and Marcus with Hannah follows behind him. We all thank him for the liquid courage.
“So what are we talking about?” Knox asks after sitting himself down at the table.
“Well I was just getting to know beautiful Alex here, you never told me she was a genius, Carter?”
“Yeah, the smartest person I know actually, but ease up there on the compliments, we don’t need her head blowing up bigger than it already is,” he smirked over at me.
“You’re the one to talk, Carter. Zip it.
That’s when we hear a loud scream of “The party’s here!” We all snap our heads around to see the one girl that put me through hell in high school. Tori Sweeney.
Why her? Why? She went out with Knox, they were the on and off couple of our school and both were a living nightmare for me.
“You are kidding me. Who the FUCK invited her here!” I groaned as I sat back in the seal. I look over at Hannah who was wide-eyed looking over at Tori and the other two dipshits that are always with her.
Yeah, she was your typical mean girl in high school, let me just say she gave Regina
Geowee a run fist her mouer
Andy came over to me and mouthed who’s she? I looked over to Knox who was staring at me like a deer in headlights.
“Fuck! Is it too late for me to run?” he asked everyone and we all nodded as she stomped her way over to our table with the puppets behind her.
I patted the seat next to me and gave Andy a pleading look, she got the memo and dragged Kyle with her.
“Who’s she?” Caleb asked and I replied with “Knox’s psycho ex.”
“She was not my ex, we never dated! Ever! Baby doll you know this! We hooked up like twice?”
“Twice? Carter you-
“Knoxie baby! It’s been so long! How the hell have you been?” She flirts as she tries to sit on his lap but fails as he keeps his arms sitting on the table.
This causes me to snort and look back at Caleb who was staring at her trying not to laugh. We all were in fact. She snapped her head around to face me.
“What the fuck are you laughing at, wannabe?”
