Playing The Risk - Book One in The WSU Series

- Chapter Forty-Seven -

"She's pissing me off."

I lean back, taking a sip from my red solo cup, "fuck." Hayden groans before downing his drink, "didn't you just have sex with another girl?" Alex laughs knowing the answer. "That's not the point," Hayden mumbles before continuing watching Liv dance with some guy. "Do you think that was the guy on her story?" He looks to Alex hoping he knows the answer, he shrugs "don't ask me."

"This is getting sad." Kian enters the kitchen to see us standing watching the girls dancing in the living room. Hayden extends his cup, "I don't smoke and drink," Kian smirks, the hint of weed radiating off of him. "You know when you asked for the favor I was expecting more to come from it," I glare at him, she asked for space— I'm going to give it to her even if it's killing me.

"You didn't have to do it." Alex smirks before rooting in the cupboards, "why wouldn't I?" Kian shrugs before winking at me, "you owe me." I'm grateful I'm friends with Kian Bliss because one thing is for sure being indebted to the Bliss family isn't fun. Near enough everyone in New York owes them a favour.

"Yeah, yeah. I owe you." I wave my hand around, "has her dress risen?" I turn my attention back to the girls to see Liv grinding up against some guy, "I don't like this." Hayden's jaw tightens, "yeah we know." Alex mumbles before heading upstairs. "He's never one for partying." Kian takes his place next to Hayden, now both of them entranced by the girls dancing.

"Where's the other two?" I turn my attention back to notice Ele and Lizzie have disappeared. "Fuck knows." I down the last of my drink before going in search of them.

Just to see if they're okay. From a distance— giving space. I do a lap of the house before heading out onto the front porch to see Ele and Lizzie sitting on the curb staring up at the night sky. I stand there for five minutes completely lost, I miss her. So fucking much.

"It's getting creepy." I roll my eyes knowing it's Kian, he stands next to me taking out his lighter, "what are you doing?" I don't take my eyes off of Ele, "want some?" He holds the joint in front of my face, "I'm good."

"Your loss." He exhales slowly, "so... Hayden and Liv" he breaks the silent, "I guess so."

It's pretty clear Hayden likes Liv, I would like to take a guess and say Liv likes Hayden. This whole jealousy thing is working and I've never known him to get jealous. He loves playing the chase, but once it's over and he's gotten what he's wants, he gets bored— I don't know for certain if him and Liv have fucked yet, I just hope he doesn't mess it up with her.

"It would be so much easier if you just spoke to her."

It would.

Maybe then I'd understand what's going on in that beautiful head of hers.

"I'm going to head inside."

"Yo Carter!" I stop in the hallway to see Hayden stood in the living room with people gathered around.
