"If you don't tell me what you did to cost me a hundred bucks I swear to god I am going to strap your ass to a backboard on Monday morning and let the guys shave your ass from head to toe." she threatened, knowing the guys would happily do it.
"Fine, my little drama queen, if you must know. The couch was too damn lumpy so I went to your room to get some sleep."
"Wait. If you wouldn't sleep in the same bed with your fiancé then why would you sleep with her?" Camie asked with a suspicious scowl.
Nathan sighed dramatically. "Because she's his bitch. You really need to pay attention."
"Nathan!" Alice gasped, smiling.
Caitlyn chuckled softly. Joe was really going to like Caitlyn, she could tell.
"Anyway," Eric said, stretching out the word. "I fell asleep and sometime after two Beth woke up and decided to come looking for me. When she didn't find me on the couch she went straight to Joe's room and that's where she found me."
Joe held up her hand. "Wait a minute. I seriously don't remember any of this and I'm pretty sure since she was incapable of talking without screeching that she would have woken me up."
Eric cringed as he looked away.
Nathan laughed long and loud.
Alice sighed, taking a sip of the wine she somehow managed to get without Joe noticing during this weird little conversation.
Camie put her fork down and crossed her arms defiantly over her chest while glaring at her and Eric. Was anyone else freaked out by this?
Caitlyn smiled sweetly.
"Well?" Joe said, sounding as irritated as she felt.
Eric cleared his throat uncomfortably. "It's really no big deal."
That sent Nathan into a fresh round of laughter.
Oh, she had a strong feeling she wasn't going to like this. Not one bit.
"Care to explain how I was in the room with the two of you while you broke off your engagement without getting woken up by a woman who never said anything below a shriek?"
Nathan grabbed his chest as tears rolled down his cheeks. He started laughing so hard that he actually fell out of his chair and hit the floor with a loud thud.
"Oh, brother," Alice sighed, taking another large sip of wine.
"How?" she demanded.
Eric gave her his best charming smile. "I made sure you wouldn't wake up."
"How?"
He picked up his fork and started pushing around his food, keeping his gaze off of her. "I, uh,....I may have," he cleared his throat, "had to um, place a pillow over your head just for a little bit there."
She gasped. "You smothered me?"
"Yes!" Nathan somehow managed to say through his uncontrollable laughter.
"You bastard," she breathed.
"Oh, come on! I made sure you were still breathing! You only turned blue once and that was because I was too busy defending you to notice!"
"Oh, gee, I guess that makes it okay then," she said dryly.
