One Night Stand
Page 30
“My mom said that Xander would marry when he fell in love.” He grinned. “She always said that she didn’t give birth to robots and the day would come when a woman would claim his heart and he’d never be the same again. I guess that day came.”
“Oh wow. So you think he really loves her then?”
“What do I know?” Henry shrugged and looked away.
“What? What aren’t you telling me?”
“I don’t want to be rude.” Henry made a face. “But I just didn’t think that someone like Gabby would ever be his type. I know she’s your sister and all, but she’s just so...” His voice trailed off and I laughed.
“She’s a bitch.”
“I didn’t want to say that.”
“It’s fine.” I laughed and hooked my arm through his, genuinely happy that he was here this weekend. We walked over to the table and my parents stood up, while Chett chatted away to someone on the phone. “We all call her that.” I whispered in his ear before we sat down.
“Really?” He looked at me in surprise.
“And by all, I mean Alice and me.” I grinned as he laughed.
“What are you two laughing at?” Xander approached us with a frown.
“None of your business.” I said smartly and then winked at Henry, who laughed again.
“Hmmph.” Xander’s throat made a noise, but he didn’t say anything.
“I’ll sit next to you.” Henry sat in the chair next to me and I smiled happily.
“I guess I’ll take the other seat.” Xander said and plopped down next me on the other side.
“But Alice was going to sit there.”
“Well, she’s not, is she?” He raised an eyebrow at me.
“Whatever.” I looked past him, up at Gabby who was staring at us with daggers in her eyes. “I thought you’d want to sit with your fiancé. There isn’t a chair to your right.” I said stiffly.
“Well you thought wrong, didn’t you?”
“So did you sleep well?” I turned back to Henry and decided to ignore Xander. I wasn’t going to let him rile me up at breakfast in front of everyone. I knew my parents would not be happy if they heard me calling him names.
“Yes, pretty good thanks.” Henry nodded back. “What about you?”
“Yeah, I felt...argh.” I jumped as I felt a hand on my leg. I looked over at Xander, but he was busy talking to my father across the table. I reached under the table and grabbed his hand and tried to remove it from my thigh, but it wasn’t budging; if anything, it was moving higher up on my thigh. Why oh why had I let Alice talk me into wearing a skirt this morning?
“Stop it.” I hissed at Xander, but he didn’t pay any attention to me.
“You okay, Liv?” Henry asked and I nodded. How could I tell him that his brother’s fingers were running up and down the inside of my leg and I was starting to feel turned on?
“Yeah, so I heard you’re single?” I said and then realized everyone was looking at me as the table had gone quiet.
“Way to be obvious, Liv.” Gabby shook her head at me.
“Obvious about what?” I looked at her with my best death glare.
“That you’re interested.” She shook her head. “Mom and dad really should have sent you to deportment classes, maybe then you’d have some class.”
“You’re talking to me about class?” I laughed and looked at Alice. “You the girl that used to sneak out to meet Tommy, the guy from the car wash on Friday nights so you could have sex in the back of rich people’s cars?”
“Liv.” My mother admonished me as her face went red. “That’s enough.”
“She started it.” I protested.
“Liv.” Aiden gave me a look. “Enough.”
“Yes, dad.” I rolled my eyes at him. “Oh wait, my dad is sitting next to mom. So who then are you, Sir?” I asked, my voice raising as Xander’s fingers ran all the way up my leg and settled at the top of my thigh and inched their way inwards. I closed my legs together, but that was a wrong move, as I just trapped his fingers in-between my legs and I could feel him rubbing against my bud. Oh God, why did it feel so good? I wanted to tell him to fuck off, but I couldn’t. A part of me was getting off on what we were doing. I know that sounds awful, but you had to be in the situation, with your bitchy horrible superior sister sitting opposite you with a look on her face like I was a piece of dog poop on the bottom of her Jimmy Choo heels.
“Enough Liv.” My dad finally spoke up. “This is not the time for you and Gabby to bicker.”
“I’m not bickering. I’m just stating the....agh...” My voice trailed off as I felt Xanders index finger tapping and rubbing my clit. I was going to kill that man.
“You’re such a jealous little–” Gabby started with a look of rage on her face.
“Come on guys.” Scott cut her off. “We have guests. We don’t want Xander and Henry to think we’re all crazy.”
“What about what I think?” Alice asked him with a small smile.
“You already know how crazy we are.” He winked at her and she laughed.
“That’s true.”
“Are you two done?” Aiden glared at them and I looked over at Xander’s smug face in shock. Had he been right? Did both Scott and Aiden have crushes on Alice? Oh my God, how much crazier could our family get.
“Oh wow. So you think he really loves her then?”
“What do I know?” Henry shrugged and looked away.
“What? What aren’t you telling me?”
“I don’t want to be rude.” Henry made a face. “But I just didn’t think that someone like Gabby would ever be his type. I know she’s your sister and all, but she’s just so...” His voice trailed off and I laughed.
