I woke up the next morning and slowly rolled out of bed with a long dramatic groan of disapproval. I made my way to Lacy's room and inside. She was laying face down in her pillow and was completely spread eagle, snoring away. She was in an oversized t-shirt and a pair of booty shorts. I let out a soft chuckle and decided now was the perfect opportunity for more pay back. I swiftly walked up to the side of her bed and gave her butt cheek a sharp smack.
"OW! What the fuck?!" She screamed, although she never lifted her face from her drool soaked pillow.
"Time to get up 'Cinderella'. You disrupted my comfy bed time last night, so i'm disrupting yours now." I said frankly. "I hope the little birdies from the forest are going to come help you get ready, because this is not a pretty sight!"
Lacy slowly pushed herself up onto her elbows and turned to face me. While she completely ignored my teasing comments, she grinned and said, "I think we should go back to the bar for lunch before we go shop. They open at noon and have a full menu."
"What? We were just there last night. I don't want to go back the next day. Plus bar food is always so greasy." I said.
"What if the hunky eye candy is back though? I bet that would up your appetite!" My eyes narrowed to her as she got a devilish look on her face. "I was a good girl last night and just gave Aiden my number, instead of dragging him back here for the night, while you were alone. If James is there you should talk to him. I have heard bartenders are very good with their hands..."
"Oh my word! I'm going to make coffee. I can't deal with you while I'm not properly caffeinated." I turned and walked to the kitchen while listening to Lacy laugh.
As I waited for my coffee cup to fill I couldn't help but think of his eyes. They were so captivating and intimidating at the same time. When my coffee was done I headed back to my room and shouted to Lacy, "I'm going to shower! I'll be ready in an hour!"
I wanted to be comfortable today since we would most likely be doing a lot of walking, but also cute for if we saw the guys at the bar. I took out a pair of skinny jeans and cuffed the bottom hem up a few times. I paired that with a white crop top and a pink cardigan.

Now for shoes... I decided on a pair of white and tan wedges that tied around my ankle. I decided not to wash my hair so I let it fall into the loose, leftover curls from last night. I applied a quick coat of mascara and a clear gloss to my lips and I was ready.
We arrived at the bar at about 12:30. We were seated at a booth again and given our menus. Our waitress came back a few minutes later and I ordered a Caesar salad and water, and Lacy got a sandwich and a diet coke. As Lacy finished her order, Aiden and James walked up to our table. Aiden smoothly slipped into the booth next to Lacy and threw his arm over the back of the seat. James stepped closer to the waitress and I heard him quietly tell her that our lunch was free, and to get us anything we wanted. He also asked her to bring a beer for Aiden and a double whiskey neat for himself. She nodded with a quick, "yes sir" and left.
