It was days after the party, and my head was still spinning with thoughts of me waking up in bed with that boy. I had to admit though, he was sexy in the morning. I regretted my decision of hurrying out of the room after I gave him my number, but I also thought it was the right thing to do in a sense.

"Liyah. Babe." Sophie snaps her fingers in front of my face, smacking her gum. I curl myself into a ball at the end of my couch and go back to reality.

"Huh? Oh, right....that party. It was awesome!" I said in a high, squeaky kind of voice.

"Wasn't it? Props to you for getting Nick in bed. He's hot as-"

"What? How did you know?" I hiss, cutting her off mid-sentence. I felt my cheeks get hot as I narrow my eyes at my best friend.

"Duh, I'm the one who gave you the room you stayed in that night. But everyone was crashed somewhere in the house when I woke up the next morning." She says, twirling some hair on her finger. I give a nervous smile and pull my knees closer to my chest.

"Hey, so there's this wedding I have to go to. My sister's. Can you please come with me babe? I'll be so bored alone." Sophie begs me, putting her hands on my knees and using her trademark pouty lip.

"Of course I'll come Soph. When is it?" I unfold myself on the couch, putting my feet in her lap.

"Tomorrow. It's in a church outside of town. You'll have to come to the reception too."

"Oh. I hadn't realized that. I'll need a dress." I start to stand up to head to my bedroom of my house. I walk to my closet, hearing Sophie's heels click clack on the hardwood floor.

"Ooh, this one babe. You look so hot in it." She pulls one out that's maroon and the v-neck is intense. But I won't lie, I do look pretty good in it. The length is to my thighs and I could pair it with some nice black heels.

"Perfect. This is why I have you around Soph." I joke, kissing her cheek lightly like we always do.

"We should have a sleepover tonight! Then we can get ready together tomorrow. It takes about an hour to get there, and it starts at 11:30. This'll be great!" She excitedly bounces up and down, clapping her hands. I nod and a big smile comes on my face.

"I'll go get my stuff." I begin to grab a bag from my closet and get everything I need in it. By the time I'm done with that, Sophie had been waiting an hour. I had to make sure my house was clean because I hated leaving it dirty.

"Let's go." I proudly say, slipping on my shoes. I was clad in an oversized sweater that slipped off my shoulder and a loose tank top underneath. I also wore a pair of leggings and some black nike sandals that were slip on.

"They're here." Sophie says with a sly smile as we're sitting on her couch, watching a movie called Just Friends. I look at her with puzzlement, but my best friend opens the door anyway. I almost spit out my popcorn, seeing some random guy and that Nick guy standing on her front walk.

"Hey."

"Hey." They both tell her. Sophie lets them in excitedly, giving me a wide and happy smile. Had she planned this? I try and play it cool, looking at what I'm wearing. She couldn't have at least told me to dress nicer? Jeez Sophie.

"Brayden, this is my best friend Aaliyah. Aaliyah, my boyfriend Brayden." She gestures to the guy with dirty blonde hair and deep blue eyes.

"Hi." I say quietly, putting the bowl of popcorn on the coffee table.

"Nick, Aaliyah. Aaliyah, Nick. I think you two may have met before." Sophie introduces us, and I quickly make a beeline for the hall that the bathroom is in.

"Why in such a hurry sweetheart?" I winced as I heard Nick's deep voice behind me. Or at least I thought it was him. I turned around slowly, only inches away from the bathroom. I just needed to prepare myself, and he was ruining any chance I had at that right now.

"Heh." I nervously laugh and he starts to walk toward me. Do I walk away, shut myself in the bathroom quickly? I was exactly sure what to do, considering I was never in this type of situation before.

"Sophie called us over to have some fun. I didn't realize you'd be here. That makes it a million times better sugar." He says in a sweet tone, his mouth only centimeters from my neck. His breath made chills go down my whole spine, in a good way. I swallowed hard as his lips met my skin, and I moaned at his touch instantly. I gripped the sides of his t shirt and dug my nails in as he was almost biting my neck.

"We shouldn't...-" My breath hitches at my throat, the heel of my foot digging into his leg as he doesn't stop. He's teasing me, and I can tell.

"They won't even miss us." His breath is heavy as he separated our touch for only a mere second to assure me. I nod and give into him. Nick lifts me up, and I put my legs around his waist. He takes us into a room, like he knows the ins and outs of this house. His lips once again capture mine in a breathtaking kiss before we begin to undress without losing our connection once.
