Page 125 of Hot Mess
Her attitude completely shifted. She relaxed, satisfied that she had the scoop. “So tell him to come.”
“What? Why? It’s ladies night.”
“Yeah… In case no one’s ever informed you, the point of ladies night is to get laid. You increase your odds of that if you invite a hot guy to meet up with you.”
“That is not the point of ladies night.”
“Hey, ladies,” my sister asked loudly, “is the whole point of ladies night to get laid?”
“Yes!” several of the girls at our table shouted.
Melody, who was still standing by with Carter, scowled in our general direction.
“I mean, after we have all the lady time, of course,” Jolie said.
“Traitor,” I grumbled.
She shrugged and sipped her drink. “By then we’re all liquored up and horny.”
“Exactly,” my sister said. “Tell him to come out.”
“Who?” Jolie leaned in from my other side to look at my phone.
“Ashley Player,” Dani said.
Jolie’s eyes went wide and she grabbed hold of the table. Pretty sure she almost had a spontaneous orgasm. “THE UNICORN?!”
Dani choked a bit on her drink. “What?”
“Yes,” I hissed, hoping to shut Jolie up. “And we’re not calling him that.”Out loud.
I checked my phone, which had vibrated again.
Ashley:I’ll bring another dude with me in case any of the lesbians feel like switching teams
Me:Ok.
Why was I agreeing to this?
Alcohol.
Me:But he has to be at least 50% as attractive as you or its not fair to the other girls.
Ashley:He’s glorious
I grinned and shoved my phone under my thigh.
“Is he coming?” Jolie blinked at me hopefully.
“Yes—oh, shit.” I snatched the phone up as it vibrated again. I totally forgot to tell him where I was.
Ashley:Should I just wander the streets, calling your name…?
Me:I’m at the Artemis.
Me:And we’re just friends.
I felt the need to add that. For myself as much as for him.
