“Dibs on that fiery one right there.” Jay nods towards Logan.
“What? No. Fuck no,” I state with urgency.
“You guys hook up? You’ve never cared about sharing before.”
“No. No-no. It’s not like that with her. Logan is...she’s my girlfriend. Stay away from her.”
“Excuse me?” he asks, completely shocked. “Girlfriend? You have a fucking girlfriend?”
I don’t respond because he already heard me.
“It’s all starting to make sense.” He lets out an evil laugh, shaking his head. “You’re a fucking idiot, man.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re trying to make it in the NHL. Don’t kid yourself. You know she’s a distraction.”
“She’s not, actually. At all. You don’t know what you’re talking about.” Jay has no idea about my panic attacks or how much Logan has calmed me since I met her, and he doesn’t need to be privileged to that information.
“It’s a bad idea,” he says, continuing to shake his head in disapproval. “Why would you risk everything when you’re so close? Does she have a magic pussy or something?”
“Watch your fucking mouth,” I growl in warning, anger clear on my face.
“Sensitive, are we?”
“I’m serious, Jay. Don’t fucking talk about her like that.”
I take off towards my girl without saying another word, shaking my head. Talking about the NHL with Jay is causing my anxiety to seep in, and that’s the last thing I need tonight. What I need is Logan, and not just because she calms me down, but because I love her and she looks like a fucking dessert I want to devour tonight.
“Maddison, c’mon!” Jay calls out as I walk away from him.
Logan’s eyes connect with mine, instantly soothing me as I make it to the entryway.
“Damn, baby.” I grab her hand and hold it above her head, twirling her in a circle and giving me the full effect. “You might need to give me mouth to mouth. I think I need to be resuscitated.”
“Stop,” she says with an embarrassed laugh, looking down at her devilishly sexy costume. “You don’t think it’s too much?”
“Logan, you look so fucking good,” I reassure her with wide eyes and a parched mouth. “I might need to fight a few people off if they don’t keep their eyes off my girl, but it’ll be worth it.”
Her nervous smile fades as I cup the sides of her face and let my fingers burrow into her silky hair. Pulling her lips to mine, I close my eyes and let my mouth explore hers, forgetting for a moment that we are in a crowded room filled with people.
Pulling Logan into my body with an arm draped over her shoulder, she wraps both her arms around my waist. “Nice work, Ali.” I hold my other hand out as Ali connects her fist with mine.
“You’re welcome,” Ali proudly says. “I’ve always wanted a friend with red hair so I could live out my Catwoman and Poison Ivy dreams.”
“Which is the only reason you decided to talk to me in the hallway on move-in day,” Logan jokes.
“Exactly,” Ali sarcastically says before turning her attention back to me. “I wanted you and Marc to be Batman and Robin, but he vetoed that pretty quick.”
“I’m finally free from having to do a couples’ costume,” Marc reminds us as he walks around from behind me. “So, there’s no way in hell I was going to do a couples’ costume with my brother.”
“What the hell?” I ask with a laugh. “No,” I add, unable to hold back my amusement as my body shakes with laughter looking at Marc’s costume.
“Stop, baby.” Logan playfully swats me in the chest. “Marc, don’t listen to him. You look great. Space Jam was my favorite movie growing up.”
“This is why you’re my best friend, Logan. You actually have a sense of humor.” Marc adjusts his bunny ears. It’s not that I don’t think his Tune Squad costume is funny. It’s just that this is Marc’s first Halloween being single, and I don’t know how far bunny ears will take him in regard to getting a woman in bed tonight.
“It’s funny, man. I like it. I just don’t think bunny ears are going to get you laid, that’s all.”
