Chapter Chpater 277
Ryan bailed with Abby and Lacey got sick.
"Can we do shots?". Alanna asked.
This wasn't how I expected the night to end up. Alanna and I the last ones standing. I hadn't heard from Jake all night and I wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing. Should I text him?
No, I wasn't doing that, and he wasn't getting to make me feel guilty just because I was out with friends. I was out with his sister. What did he think was going to happen? "Leah". She waved a glass in my face. "Shots?".
"Yeah, let's do it".
..
I was tipsy or more than a little tipsy.
Shots were the devil and yet I couldn't stop drinking them.
"Wanna know what happened to me today". I brought the shot glass to my lips and downed the liquid inside.
My head was fuzzy, my vision a little blurred.
"Do tell". She grinned.
"I saw Jack naked".
"No". She gasped. "Like everything?".
I nodded, filling my glass up with the champagne she bought, or I bought I couldn't remember.
"Does Lacey know?".
I made a face as I shrugged. "He was showering, and I thought it was Jake".
A laugh fell from her lips. "Does he have a big d**k?".
I choked on my drink. I swear this girl was obsessed with all things sex. I mean what a question to ask.
"Wait, what did Jake do?".
"He laughed".
"He laughed?". She frowned. "That's it?".
"Apparently Jack's having a hard time just now which is why he was showering at our house. Him and Lacey fighting again?". I wasn't as close to Lacey as I was Alanna.
"He wants a baby she doesn't. Shes not ready".
"Wow".
"It'll blow over in a couple of days".
I had lost my buzz a little. I felt sad for Lacey. I felt sad for them both. Having a child was a big responsibility. What if she was never ready what would that mean for them both? "Can mates separate?".
"Eh, where did that come from?".
"Can they?".
"They can break the bond yes, but they will never find anyone else. You only have one mate Leah".
"Okay".
"I've lost my buzz and I'm bored. Want to get out of here?". She downed the rest of what was in her glass. Her mood had shifted, I could feel it.
"I was curious Alanna that's all". I knew her brain would be working overtime by my question.
"Sorry". She ran a hand down her face. "I'm just not in the mood anymore. Can we go home?".
"Sure".
I had sobered up fast. My buzz completely gone. Alanna texted Carter and we were currently standing outside waiting for them.
"Jack and Lacey will be fine you do know that right?".
"I know I just feel bad for them".
"Every couple goes through something. It isn't always sunshine and rainbows". She smiled.
She didn't need to tell me that. Jake and I had our fair share of fights and disagreements. I was a pro at this sort of thing. I may not take my own advice, but I was still good at giving it. "Trust me I-... Oh". I grabbed Alanna's hand to balance myself.
"Hey". Alanna yelled.
