One Night Stand Part 14

"Yeah well, I've been down that road and have no need to go back." I pushed his hand away and quickly walked out of the study, my heart racing at his touch. Why oh why did Xander affect me so badly. He was like a drug my body desperately craved that I knew was very bad for me. He was slowly, but surely making me an addict and I knew that my addiction was leading me nowhere good. I knew I had to wean myself off of him before it was too late. I was not going to let Xander and his miracle tongue bring me down, any further than I already was.

Chapter Eight.

"Hold still, Liv." Alice stood in front of me and styled my hair with her curling iron. "If you keep moving I'm going to burn you."

"Don't you dare burn me." I warned her. "This is boring."

"I'm nearly done." She sighed. "Just be patient."

"I've been sitting here for twenty minutes." I sighed. "What sort of hairstyle are you creating?"

"A seductive, sensual one." She grinned. "All the men in the club will be all over you."

"All but one, you hope." I laughed. "If I get them all, who are you going to have?"

"I'll find someone." She giggled and flicked her long brown hair with blonde streaks back.

"Oh boy." I laughed. "And you're sure my makeup doesn't look too s.l.u.tty?"

"Is there such a thing as too s.l.u.tty?" She asked as she stared at me face.

"Yes." I nodded. "I don't want anyone to think they can offer me twenty dollars and take me behind the trashcan for a b.l.o.w. .j.o.b?"

"What about for a hundred?" She wiggled her eyebrows at me and we both laughed.

"Tonight's going to be fun."

"We deserve some fun." She stepped back and looked at me for a few seconds before grinning. "You look beautiful."

"You think?" I jumped up and ran over to the mirror and stared at my reflection. My long, brown hair hung in loose waves surrounding my face and down my back. My brown eyes sparkled with excitement and my smoky eyes made me look like a s.e.xy vixen. "Do you think this lipstick is too red?" I asked as I pouted into the mirror.

"No way. Red is hot."

"I suppose so."

"And it matches your red dress perfectly. Slip it on now."

"Okay." I hurried to the bed and picked up my newly ironed dress and quickly took my clothes off and pulled it on. I had to suck in my breath to get it past my waist and down my hips. "This dress is a lot shorter than I remember it being." I looked down at my exposed thigh and gulped. "I'm not sure about this, Alice. I'm not a stick you know. Girls like me, with curves shouldn't wear skintight clothing."

"Says who?" She shook her head. "You look hot, s.e.xy, beautiful, amazing, and perfect." She pointed her finger at me. "f.u.c.k those skinny b.i.t.c.hes. Every man wants a woman with curves."

"I don't know about that." I laughed.

"Well if he wants a stick, then he's not for us." She grinned and pulled on her short, black dress.

"True."

"Any guy looking for a stick will be disappointed with me." I giggled. "I'll never be a stick, my b.o.o.bs are way too big."

"Men love big b.o.o.bs."

"Well mine haven't helped me much yet."

"They will tonight." She gazed at my partially exposed b.o.o.bs. "Vaboom vaboom."

"Thanks, Alice." I shook my head.

"I'm ready, I think." She pulled on her heels and then looked at me. "What about you?"

"Yeah, I guess I'm ready." I nodded and grabbed a handbag from the closet and then slid my feet into my black stilettos. "I hope I don't fall in these. My feet are already killing me." I moaned.

"You'll be fine. Just hold onto my arm."

"I need alcohol." I giggled as we made our way out of my bedroom.

"Me too." She agreed. "I want to get drunk tonight."

"I want to get slizzard." I said.

"What's slizzard?" She asked me in confusion and I looked and her and laughed.

"I have no idea." I shrugged. "I just heard that term recently and thought it sounded good."

"It does. It sounds cool. Here's to us getting slizzard."

"Slizzard baby." We linked arms and made our way to the front door.

"Liv." Aiden's voice boomed through the house as I opened the front door.

"Yes." I stopped and rolled my eyes.

"Come into the living room please."

"Why?"

"We want to see you before you go out."

"Ugh." I looked at Alice and we both made faces at each other. "He is so frigging annoying. He needs to get married and have kids already. Oops." I made a face as I looked at Alice.

"It's fine." She gave me a lopsided smile. "I'm sure he'll make a good father."

"Let's face the army and then leave." I said with an exasperated sigh and we walked towards the living room. "Good evening everyone." I said as we walked into the room. All eyes fell to Alice and I and I almost laughed at the different expressions on everyone's faces. Aiden looked stunned, Henry looked impressed, Gabby looked p.i.s.sed, Chett looked bored, Scott looked excited and Xander, well Xander looked brooding. I could feel his eyes surveying my entire body and I had to tell myself to resist looking at him again.

"So where are you two off to then?" Aiden stood up and walked over to us.

"A bar."

"What bar?" He asked, this time his eyes looked slightly angry. I wondered if he would ever get over the need to have to know everything.

"I think we're going to Beach Lagoon." I said finally.

"Okay, down on Fifth Street?" He asked again.

"Yes Sir." I nodded and then saluted him.

"Funny."

"If mom and dad don't find the need to stay up and ask me, why do you care?"

Aiden stared at me for a few seconds and then turned to Alice. "You look very nice this evening."

"Thanks." She blushed as she answered him.

"Are you going to be warm enough in that dress?" He stared at her long expanse of naked leg and bare shoulders and she nodded.

"I'm pretty sure the alcohol will keep me warm."

"Who's DD?" He looked back at me with a frown.

"We're going to take uber there and back." I tried not to roll my eyes. "We're not irresponsible you know. We did make it to twenty two with some brains."

"I just wanted to make sure you didn't want a ride there and back."

"I can drive you if you want." Xander spoke up then and stood up.

"Oh you don't need to do that." Gabby sounded annoyed as she glared at me. So much for her I'm sorry shtick. I knew she wouldn't be able to fake a sweet personality for long.

"I don't want you girls to get taken advantage of." Xander stood next to Aiden and stared into my eyes. This time I couldn't avoid his eyes. His irises looked furious as he gazed at me. I wasn't sure what his problem was, but I couldn't stop myself from s.h.i.+vering as I stood next to him. I could feel the electricity flowing between us and I took a step back.

"I think we'll be fine." I licked my lips nervously.

"Yeah, we'll be fine." Alice repeated and I could see her and Aiden giving each other small looks back and forth.

"Trust me Xander, Alice and Liv won't have any problems." Gabby jumped up and walked over to us. "They both pro's at looking like s.l.u.ts and not getting bothered."

"Gabby." Aiden admonished her.

"What?" She shrugged. "It's true." She looked at Alice and I and then at Xander and Aiden. "I mean come on. You don't go out in heels as high as those, with dresses as short as that and not expect that some creep is going to try and slip his hand between your legs or down your top."

"Gabby, shut up." Scott shouted. "What is your problem?"

"Maybe it's pregnancy brain?" Henry said and gave me a small smile.

"Yeah, but she hasn't been pregnant all her life." I muttered. "That doesn't excuse her lifelong b.i.t.c.hiness."

"Liv." Aiden gave me a look and I turned to Alice.

"Ready?"

"Yes." She nodded eagerly. "Let's go."

"Wait a second." Aiden caught her wrist. "Can I speak to you for a second please?"

"Uh okay." She looked over at me and made a face and followed him to the corner of the room.

"I need to speak to Liv as well." Xander said to Gabby and he grabbed my upper arm roughly and pulled me outside of the room with him.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Where do you think you're going in that outfit?"

"To a club."

"It's not appropriate." He shook his head as he glared at me.

"Appropriate for what?"

"It sends the wrong signals." He gazed down at my heaving b.r.e.a.s.t.s.

"What signals are you talking about?"

"The 'I'm looking to get f.u.c.ked' signal." He muttered as he took a step towards me and pushed me back against the wall.

"Who says I don't want to give off that signal?" I said with a gasp as he grabbed my hands and pressed them back against the wall, next to my head.

"Is that what you want?" He leaned in and kissed my neck softly.

"Xander." I gulped as he kissed down my neck to my collarbone and the top of my b.r.e.a.s.t.s. "Stop it, anyone could come out of the room and see us."

"What do you care?"

"Xander, don't." I moaned as his hand ran down the side of my body and stopped on my thighs.

"Don't what?" He pushed his hardness into my stomach and moved back and forth. "Don't show you what you're doing to me in that s.e.xy almost nonexistent outfit."

"Was there anything else you needed to say to me?" I turned my head away from him as he leaned forward to kiss my lips.

"Why are you trying to bewitch me?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing." He sighed and stepped back. "Why did you have to be Gabby's sister?"
