“So what if I was? I’m the only single one at this table,” she stated firmly.

Julia and everyone else watched their interaction closely, but nobody dared interfere.

“I’m glad to see you ladies are having fun,” Connor teased.

“Yes, and I’m sure you guys have been having fun too,” Julia replied, her eyes sparkling. Connor looked exceptionally gorgeous, and suddenly, she was ready for ladies’ night to be over with, but she wouldn’t abandon her girls.

“Well, we’ll leave you to it,” Finn said, and bending down, he gave Harper a quick kiss on the lips.

“Yes, and if you need a ride home, let us know,” Will said, ever the responsible one. “I’m the designated driver in our group, and we have plenty of room for four more.”

“We’re fine,” Megan said. “Just having a little fun.”

Leaning down, Connor whispered in Julia’s ear, “Be safe,” and then he gently kissed her cheek before wandering away with Finn and Will.

That left Liam, who was still standing there, seemingly rooted in place.

“I can’t believe you were harassing the waiter like that,” he said to McKayla, arms crossed over his muscular chest.

“Why not? He’s young and good looking, and besides, it’s really none of your business,” she hissed.

“Okay, you two, back to your corners,” Harper said, eyes darting from one to the other.

Sighing, Liam threw up his hands and walked away while McKayla watched him go. Everybody noticed but nobody said a word when they saw her staring straight at his butt!

Chapter Twenty-Three

Once the guys were back at their table, they started on their third round of beers. Well, except for Will, who had switched to water since he was the designated driver.

“Man, our ladies are hot!” Finn said, pretending to wipe the sweat off his brow.

“You can say that again,” Connor chimed in. Having heard Julia’s laughter from across the room, he’d immediately gone in search of it, and the other guys had eagerly followed. None of them had known that they’d end up at the same place as their girlfriends, but none of them seemed to mind (except for Liam, who was scowling into his beer glass).

“What’s wrong, man?” Connor asked, even though he had a pretty good idea what the problem was, or who in this case.

“Not a thing,” Liam said, keeping his eyes trained on his glass.

“Don’t mind him. He just hasn’t gotten laid in a while,” Finn teased.

“I can tell I’m out with the guys,” Will said thoughtfully.

“How’s that?” asked Finn.

“Because with Megan, we talk about ‘making love’ not ‘getting laid.’”

They all chuckled, even Liam.

“So, when are you going to ask her out?” Finn said, eyeballing his youngest brother.

“Who?” Liam said.

“You know who,” Connor said.

“Are we talking about McKayla?” Will asked innocently.

Liam’s head jerked up, and the answer was written all over his face.

“Bingo!” Finn said.
