Chapter 2- Outstaying my welcome

"What are you doing here?" I demanded, surprise not seeming a big enough word. I had walked into the kitchen to find Spencer stood bare chested and messy haired, frowning at me like he could scarcely grasp what was happening.

"I thought you said you didn't know where you were!" Spencer asked angrily and once I had recovered from the initial surprise, I found myself rising to the bait.

"I've never been here before Spence!" I retorted and his eyes widened. He cleared his throat uncomfortably.

"Oh... I didn't think of that" He admitted and I could not help but smile.

"Where did you sleep?" He asked and I immediately blushed. My reply wouldn't summon itself to my lips and I looked away from him.

Then suddenly I was saved from answering.

"In my bed Spence" A different voice said. Spencer and I's heads whipped round to look at him. He wasn't lying either; it was the very same guy I had left fast asleep in his bed only minutes before.

"Who are you?" I asked rudely and Spencer shot me a hard penetrating look.

"Liv this is my older brother Ryan. Though you seem to already know each other" Spencer said snarkily and the flush spread across my cheeks even more tomato red than before.

"Well this is new" Ryan smirked. "I've never had a girl sneak out of my bed to argue with my little brother before" He grinned at the two of us, a hint of cold behind his eyes that surprised me.

"We weren't arguing" I objected. "Just a simple misunderstanding" I glanced at Spencer whose gaze was still stony. I wished I could remember last night to confirm how he should be angry at me, but my mind was drawing a blank. Everything after the 8th vodka shot was a complete blur. At it seemed to be the same for Spencer.

"Whatever you say Liv" Ryan grinned and I scowled.

"God it's like having two Spencer's" I frowned, rubbing my temples.

Spencer cracked a smile and nudged me. "Hungover?" He smirked mischeviously and I rolled my eyes a him bad naturedly.

"Do you remember anything?" I addressed Spencer, noticing Ryan scowling in my peripheral vision. If he really thought, I wanted him to fill me in then he was sorely mistaken.

"I remember everything up until how we got home. And of course how you ended up in Ryan's bed" Spencer smiled bitterly and Ryan shot me a secret smile that made me cringe. I understood without having to ask why he was annoyed. He had invited me to this party and looked out for me all night and then wakes up to find me sneaking out of his brother's bed. What sort of girl did that? The sober Liv certainly wouldn't have done. Especially considering I was still a virgin.

I decided to be honest because Ryan didn't seem like someone who liked messing around.

"Well I don't even remember meeting you. So you'll have to fill me in" I said to Ryan expectantly, sitting down at the table. For some unknown reason, he seemed to find this amusing and chuckled to himself. My polite look quickly turned to a glare.

"Just tell me" I ordered sweetly.

He tapped his fingers along the table for a minute before looking up at me slyly.

"Say please" He retorted and I looked at Spencer in disgust.

"Are you serious?" I said, wrinkling my nose and Ryan simply smirked. He folded his arms across his chest and waited.
