It all started when Adalyn Rose had a little too much to drink and ended up in bed with her best friend's older brother, Ashton Dawson.
They hide it from everyone hoping to forget about it, but when Ashton's psychotic ex-fling, Natalie, intrudes on...

Adalyn's POV
"Adalyn is my girlfriend."
"WHAT?!" I look back and forth between Ashton and Natalie not knowing what to say.
What the fuck is going on? When did this happen? Was I so drunk last night that I agreed to date Ashton of all people? I definitely need therapy after this.
"And you didn't tell me? I've seen you so much this week and I didn't know," Michael gives him a pat on the back and a huge grin is plastered on his face.
"FINALLY!" Luca shouts, consuming Ashton in a hug. "I thought you'd remain alone for the rest of your life."
"That hurt."
"Really? Her? Seems like you could've done better." Natalie walks up to me and eyes me up and down.
I don't know where the sudden breath came from, but words start to fly out of my mouth. "Like you?" I ask in a sarcastic way. "At least I wasn't desperate enough to throw myself all over him for him to ACTUALLY want me." My arm subconsciously wraps around his waist and I am holding his hand over my shoulder. Natalie narrows her eyes ready to attack when Brie breaks the tension.
"Adalyn? Ashton? WHAT THE FUCK!" Brie shouts from the kitchen. My hands immediately drop and Ashton and I spread apart. This makes things a whole lot worse. I can see the hurt and betrayal in her eyes.
"Well, I guess someone didn't get the memo about your little arrangement," Natalie laughs.
"Ashykins....I need to talk to you for a sec....in private," I say with a fake smile on my face, practically wanting to throw up. I grab Ashton's hand and drag him to his room, passing Brie in the kitchen.
"I'll explain everything. I promise," I say to her as I pass by with Ashton trailing behind me. I don't even know exactly how I am going to explain it or how I can even make this the slightest bit better. I barely know what is going on.
"Thank you for that," Ashton says as soon as I slam the door.
"WHAT THE HELL DAWSON! WHAT WAS THAT? GIRLFRIEND?"
"Wai-"
"Look whatever happened last night doesn't mean I am your fucking girlfriend now. I'm flattered, but this is never going to happen. Not in a million years. You are MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER-"
"I don't want to date you!" he shouts to shut me up to allow him to talk.
"Well whatever happened out there says otherwise."
"Let me just explain."
"Please do. Because Brie is gonna kill me and that's gonna be on you." I cross my arms and wait for him to say something.
He lets out a deep sigh. "My friends think I'll end up alone and try to set me up with anything that breathes within a 2 mile radius. It's kind of annoying sometimes."
