Piper

Two weeks before Homecoming, we got invited to a costume party on the weekend. I dressed like a genie. I wanted something fun to wear. Plus, Roger would have had a fit if I dressed like this. It was always something I didn't want to wear, which made any costume party boring and I didn't have fun.

I pulled on my hoodie when I heard a knock at my bedroom door.

"So, does that mean I get to rub you and get three wishes?" Lex asked me, pointing to my genie costume.

I turned and looked at him, "It depends on the wishes."

He walked over to me and placed his hands on the waist. "Well, one would be to make you mine. Wait, that wish already came true. Two would be to kiss your lips, but that one came true. Third would be to have your love. Wait, a minute; I believe I got that one, too. So, I guess it has granted all my wishes."

He leaned down and kissed me.

"You're such a sweet talker," I smiled, and he smirked, "but truthfully, do you like my costume?"

"Yes, I do. Why?" Lex asked.

"I don't know. It feels like you would get mad if I wore something like this," I shrugged. I didn't know what Lex's reaction would be to my outfit.

"Piper, I'm not Roger. You shouldn't have to worry about how I feel. You should be happy with your choice," Lex reasoned.

"So, you're not mad. I'm wearing a sexy genie costume?" I asked cautiously.

"Hell no, I'm not mad. I think it's hot," Lex exclaimed as I blushed. Yep, he wasn't like Roger. He removed his hands and slid one into mine. "Come on, Genie in a Bottle, let's go have some fun."

He led me out as I laughed. Yep, Lex is so not Roger, and I was so glad.

Lex

I drove to the party. I loved her costume. It hugged all her curves in the right places. I can't believe Roger made her think so low of herself.

We pulled up to Uncle Nathan's house, where it held the party, and walked inside. They dressed everyone up in costumes, and the music was blaring. My sisters were there, and so were my cousins, along with a lot of other people.

I saw Lyric talking to Daniel, and Lakin was talking to some girl I didn't recognize. We went into the kitchen to get something to drink. While we were busy, two guys were hanging with Marshall and Murphy.

"Marshall, what's the deal with that girl over there," Maverick asked him, pointing at Larkin.

"Who?" Marshall asked.

"Her," Maverick replied, pointing at Larkin.

"Larkin?" Marshall asked, surprised.

"Yeah," Maverick answered.

"Larkin went through some stuff. Why?" He looked at Maverick as he was looking at Larkin. "Whoa, you don't even think about."

"Think about what?" Maverick asked.

"I know that look, Maverick, and the answer is no," Marshall said to him.

"I find her intriguing," he said, rubbing his chin.

"And I find you have a death sentence if you even think about it. One you are older than her. Two, her dad will kill you. Three, Uncle Nixon will kill you and four, our dad and the rest of the brothers will kill you," Marshall said to him.

"How old is she?" Maverick asked.

"Seventeen," Marshall answered.

"Damn, brother, you enjoy robbing the cradle," Major laughed.
