I hear Aiden laugh out loud. His deep, sexy laugh has me smiling at him. Tingles spread all over my body. He whispers something to the girl, and she looks my direction with a sour face and walks away, grabbing her friend as she leaves.

Aiden: There’s my feisty girl. As much as that sounds HOT, I’ve seen you fight… it wouldn’t end well for her. ;)

“Addison stop texting your boyfriend. Are we joining them or staying here? Because we need to order drinks and get on the list to sing,” Harper barks.

I look over to see Aiden sitting back in his chair, watching me. “We’re going to stay right here. It’s girls’ night so let’s show Sydney what us girls do.” I hug Syd. I’m still so excited she’s here. The waitress comes over and places three shots on the table.

“We haven’t ordered yet,” I say, looking at the shots the waitress delivered.

“Well, it seems you have admirers. These are from the table of insanely hot guys over there.” She points to Aiden’s table. We all look over to their table. A couple of other FBI agents have gathered around.

“Holy freaking hotness!” Syd says excitedly. “You did NOT tell me that you worked with the Chippendales of the FBI.” All three of us laugh at her description of the guys. Picking up our shots, we “air” toast the table of guys.

Harper jumps up after we finish our shots. “Alright, girls, I’m going to go put us down for a song. Order more drinks!” She struts off to the karaoke sign-up sheet. I’m a little worried that she’s picking a song by herself.

“So… is Damon single?” Syd wags her eyebrows.

“Syd! You’re only here for a week.” I pout.

“What if I told you that I might move here?”

“For Damon?” I ask, confused.

“No! For me. To be closer to you. I miss you so much, and I need a change. Jeff and I decided our relationship just sizzled out. He works too much anyway. We never saw each other, and when we did we argued. When I decided to come visit, I applied to a few places and have interviews lined up all week while you’re at work.” She’s looking at me nervously, waiting for my approval.

“Oh, my God! That is amazing news!” I scream while I grab her for a hug. “Why is this the first time I’m hearing about this?”

“I was going to tell you when I first got here, but then we were a little busy talking about your new man and then we came out. I couldn’t hold it in any longer.” We’re still embraced in a hug when Harper walks up.

We fill in Harper with the good news. She’s excited, too. She and Syd get along great, which I knew they would. Our drinks arrive just in time for a toast. “Here’s to Sydney getting a new job,” I say as we all raise our glasses.

“And to me getting to have a taste of that gorgeous FBI man,” Syd says right before she takes a drink. Harper laughs so hard she almost spits her drink out all over us. Thankfully I had swallowed my drink already because I’m dying laughing, too. My phone dings and I see it’s from Aiden.

Aiden: What are we celebrating? I love hearing you laugh.

I look at Damon who is staring at Sydney and roll my eyes.

Me: Just girl stuff

After a few drinks our names are called for karaoke. When we get to the stage, we are all feeling pretty tipsy. Sydney has been a singer her entire life and has a beautiful voice, so I push her to the front.

When we see what song Harper has picked out we all giggle. We take our places on stage and the music starts. Adam Levine’s “Moves Like Jagger” fills the room. Harper and I work the room with our dancing and back-up vocals while Syd works the room with her voice. I notice that she’s zoned in on one person: Damon. The crowd is going crazy by the time we’re done. Lots of clapping and screaming as we make our way back to our table. Enjoying our post-performance high, we’re laughing and high-fiving everyone as we pass. Three drinks are already waiting for us when we get there. The waitress smiles at us as we take our seat. “You know who,” she says before walking off.

I glance over to Aiden and mouth “Thank you” as I take a sip of my drink. I can see the heat in his eyes from where I’m sitting. I smile and wink at him. He picks up his phone and types. Next thing I know my phone dings.

Aiden: My cock and my hands are having a disagreement right now

I tilt my head to the side and twist my lips.

Me: ????

Aiden: My cock really wants to pound you, but my hands want to pound every asshole in here who is staring at you right now :(

Me: Awww. Jealous?

Aiden: Never…

I can tell he’s texting again, so I wait before I respond with “bullshit.”
