Something Unexpected

Taco Bell Show Down

                          ~ Chapter Twenty-One ~

"I'll love you like a back-alley hooker loves crack." Unknown

“Dayummm, you got it going on.” Aiden muttered, glancing to his right with a mocking smirk.

I rolled my eyes, but secretly bit my lip to hold in my laughter when Chase muttered, “Fuck you, Aiden.”

“Aww, come on, Babe! Don’t play hard to get!”

Aiden was ruthless.

Lily, Poppy, Winn all started to chuckled beside of me when I shot Chase a pity look. He smiled at me, absentmindedly pulling up the front of his bright green dress Lily and Logan had picked out for him.

He winked at me as him, Drake, and Xavier drew closer to the club all of us was attending for the night, causing me to chuckle and shake my head.

“Bright green really brings out his eyes, huh?”

Lily and I turned our heads to the left, meeting Aiden’s laughing eyes.

I snorted and Lily laughed, “It really does!” She said.

“It was a good thing you won that bet, wasn’t it, Red?”

At Aiden’s statement, Lily looked at him with an unreadable expression on her face, making me scrunch my eyebrows in confusion at their strange interaction.

“What-?”

Lily interrupted me, “Enough small talk, who’s ready to see how many times Chase gets hit on tonight?”

Chase flipped her off, and she chuckled before grabbing my hand and pulling us ahead of everyone else.

“Lily, what happened back there?” I mumbled as she dragged us towards the club entrance doors.

She turned her head and looked at me, “What do you mean?”

“Why did you look at Aide like that?”

“Like what?”

“Like… like he was-.”

“Welcome ladies,” The bouncer grinned, removing the red rope and letting us pass through.

I gave him a polite smile before turning my head and watching him remove the red rope for the rest of the gang.

Lily and I walked in, the sound of Akon’s Smack That, echoing throughout the club as the sight of people bumping and grinding against each other on the dance floor, met my eye.

Poppy and Winn caught up to us, and Lily squealed, “Enough questions, Bestie! Time to par-tay!”

With that she led all of us onto the dance floor, leaving Chase blushing at everyone’s humored stares, and Aiden laughing at him.

I knew she was hiding something. Lily was a very terrible liar; but that just works well for my case, because sooner or later… she would spill the beans.

~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~

Fifty-seven times.

That’s how many times someone “hit” on Chase.

Aiden was very happy with this number, claiming that with Chase’s example, he could start a whole new chain of male prostitution.

… Lord only knows where he comes up with these ideas.

We didn’t stay at the club long, just long enough for Lily and Poppy to finish off a whole bottle of Grey Goose, Winn to finish reading his latest mystery novel, Logan to win a poker game with rest of the boys, Drake and Xavier to keep Chase from punching Aiden in the face, and long enough for Aiden to laugh hysterically as if he was having the best night of his life.
