Aiden continued to press the issue, “I was at the Learning Center earlier today, and there’s a hot new redheaded chick. She looks like the type who’d drop to her knees for you.”
“Look, I don’t wanna talk about Isabella anymore, ok?”
He held up his hands in mock surrender. “Alright, alright. Didn’t mean to push your buttons. You’ll tell me when it happens.”
I grabbed Aiden’s shirt and pulled him to the side, far away from everybody else.
“You haven’t told anybody about our little bet, right?”
“Dude, that would ruin the fucking bet. I’m all about keeping things clean without outside intervention. I’m a purist in that regard.” He cocked a grin and straightened the collar of his shirt. “However, you should know that I slept with two more girls this week. And I’m pretty sure the other guys in the house know about it.”
It killed my ego to know that Aiden was way ahead of me in our little game. “Whatever. I’m gonna fuck Isabella, okay?”
“Whatever you say, man.” He gripped me hard on the shoulder. “Come on. We gotta hit up the liquor store.”
One of my favorite parts about campus was its proximity to nearby liquor stores. Being a college town, there were more liquor stores per capita than anywhere else in the world. Supply and demand dictated the surplus of accessible alcohol. The one right down the road from the house was my favorite, namely because of its proximity. It carried every brand of whiskey known to man, had taste tests on Friday nights, and even provided shopping carts which came in handy when shopping for parties and errr, fundraisers.
Aiden yanked a shopping cart out of the holder as the cashier smiled at us. She was cute, with short, curly blonde hair and a gorgeous body.
But still failed in comparison to Isabella. I’d found myself comparing every woman to her.
We made our way up and down the aisles, piling random bottles of liquor into the cart. Aiden grabbed his usual oversized bottle of bourbon, and I loaded up with wines and vodka.
“Can’t forget the fruity drinks,” he said before tossing in a few bottles of pre-mixed cocktails.
I held one in each hand, staring at the bright blue and pink mixture inside. “The fuck is this shit? Looks like they belong in a crayon box.”
Aiden rolled his eyes as we made our way to the section that housed the selection of miniature bottles. “Alright, toss in a few, and let’s get outta here. The pizza should be there soon, and I’m fucking starving.”
Several small bottles of alcohol dropped into the metal cart as someone called my name.
“Well, well. Is that Blade Eggleston?”
I turned around to see Justine from the health food store smiling back at me. Next to her was her roommate, who was also smiling at me. My initial suspicions seemed to be confirmed. They both wanted to fuck me, together.
“Hey, what’s going on?” I questioned with a nervous chuckle.
Her roommate leaned into Justine’s shoulder and playfully wound her finger through her hair. “Justine and I are going to watch some horror movies tonight. You should come by.”
Aiden let out a low whistle as he nudged me in the elbow. “Actually, ladies, we’re throwing a charity event tonight. Why don’t you stop by?”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” I blurted out.
By the way Justine sank backwards, I just knew that she took it as a virtual slap in the face, if not an outright rejection. “Why don’t you want us to come?”
“The house is already at capacity with the invite list. Plus, it’ll be boring.”
Her roommate eyed all the liquor in our shopping cart suspiciously. “Doesn’t look like it’s going to be boring, but don’t worry. We won’t come by unannounced.”
“Alright, well, you girls enjoy your movie night.” Aiden appeared to be completely shocked by my rejection. “Come on, bro. Let’s get back to the house.”
The second we got back to the car, Aiden nearly flipped his lid before he even had time to close the damn door. “Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you? You could have been balls-deep in both of those chicks tonight.”
“Yeah, well, I gotta study after the event, okay?”
“Bullshit,” he scoffed, not buying the lies I was trying to sell him. “You’re falling for Isabella, aren’t you?”
“Fuck no, bro! I’m The Bedroom King. The day I settle for one girl is the day I officially dig my own grave. Now step on the gas so we can get this shit over with.”
