Excerpt:
Bethany places her elbows on the table and reaches for some chips. "I don't know what to do. I mean…I just…I liked him and I thought he liked me. So, I went back with him. I'd had a little bit too much to drink…and God, he smells like Heaven."
I roll my eyes. "You want to try someone else? Any other guy you've had your eye on?" She shrugs and runs a finger over the rim of her empty glass. She looks so innocent with her strawberry blond hair and big blue eyes. "No. Look at him out there; he looks so carefree and happy. Why can't I move on like that?"
I take a chip and chomp on it. "Because he was never looking for anything but a one-night stand. He got it, now he is on to his next target."
Bethany mumbles. "I wish we could just break his heart and show him how it feels."
Yeah, right. Taking a couple of chips, I shove them in my mouth. I shouldn't have skipped dinner. Heather was on my ass all night long about looking slim for the club. I reach for another chip when I see Bethany and Heather are both staring at me. You know, with those we took a vote and you lost eyes.
"What?" Suddenly my chip isn't very appetizing; I toss it back into the basket.
Heather wiggles her eyebrows, which really shows me that they're up to something I won't like. "Well, since you know how to treat guys…you can go out with him, then break his heart once he falls in love with you. You're freaking adorable and have the nicest ass. He likes asses."
Wow, is that supposed to make me feel better? "What-absolutely no. No. No. No. Not going to happen. You want me to go out with the damn ass monster."
"Oh, come on, Laney. You can date him for a couple of weeks and then be done. Please…I would do anything! He deserves it, look at him!"
Bethany shouts, pointing at him. I glance over my shoulder at Aiden. He is grinding on some girl and checking another one out. I scoff. "Sure, he is an asshole, Bethany. But I'm definitely not your girl for this."
Heather opens her mouth to say something when two tree trunks of arms wrap around her from behind. She squeals as he nuzzles her neck. "Hey, girls. You three having a great night?"
I hold up my half-empty shot glass and give Todd a sarcastic smile. He snorts and starts to pull Heather toward the dance floor. He has no idea I coached Heather through their entire dating experience. It didn't take long before he was texting her nonstop and asking her to be exclusive. Sucker. They seem happy together so I can't say it wasn't worth it.
