Page 86 of A Second Chance At Forever

“So a party, huh?” I looked up to Lennox’s big green eyes that were watching me.

“It doesn’t have to be anything big. Just get Trent to call a few people.” Lennox smiled.

“You want to have a party now too?”

She shrugged and offered up a smile. “It would be nice to forget about everything for one night and just have fun.”

I never could resist that face. “Fine.”

“Alissa and I will make a run, grab some food, and drinks.” Dane smacked Alissa on her ass when she stood. She squealed and took his hand in hers to lead him to the front door.

“I can’t believe I’m doing this again. You know, that last party I had was your going away party.”

“Well, this can be my coming home party.” Lennox brought her lips back to mine.

I broke the kiss quickly. “We have the house all to ourselves.”

“Let’s go get ready for the party.” Lennox took me by the hand and led me toward the stairs.

After takinga shower with Lennox and making good use of our alone time, we were walking down the stairs as Dane and Alissa came in with their arms full of bags.

“Never take this one to a store,” he motioned toward Alissa with a nod of his head. “She spent six hundred dollars.”

“You didn’t let her buy Cheetos, did you?” Lennox asked pulling items out of the bags to put away.

“Yeah, I think. Why?” Dane asked confused.

“Would you guys leave that alone, it happened one time.” Alissa sounded annoyed.

“What happened with Cheetos?” Dane asked.

“Nothing, don’t ask.” Alissa took the Cheetos away from Dane, staring us down.

Dane dropped the subject, knowing he wouldn’t ever get an answer to his question.

Dane began unloading the liquor and sitting the bottles on the island. “The kegs should be here anytime.”

“Kegs? How many did you order?” I asked moving around the kitchen to put up the various items.

“Only three.”

“Three? You’re not ordering for a bar, Dane. This is just supposed to be a small party, asshole.”

Dane shrugged and continued setting up the liquor.

“Calm down, it will be fun.” Lennox wrapped her arms around me, instantly calming my nerves.

Just having her touch me in the slightest way, made everything else fall away. I finally decided to accept it, kick back and have fun for once. After everything that had been happening, we all deserved a fun night.

The kegs were delivered a short while later as Trent and Sarah were pulling up.

“How many kegs did you order?” Trent asked as soon as he stepped out of the car.

“Dane ordered three.” I signed the paper and directed them into the house.

“That won’t be enough. Dane, we talked about this.” He threw his arms up before walking into the house.

“Hey, Sarah. How’s the baby?” I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and walked her into the house.

“She’s great, she gets to stay with grandma tonight and be spoiled rotten.”

The girls foundeach other and stood in the center of the room talking.

The three of us sat back and watched them. We were all in awe. We never dreamt we would be there. Dane got Alissa back, Trent married Sarah, and I finally had Lennox. You couldn’t beat the smiles off our faces just from watching them stand in a circle and talk.

“Let’s get this party started,” Dane said turning on the music while Trent tapped the keg.

I poured all the girls a beer and searched for the Jack, I poured six shots, one for everyone.

We all stood around the kitchen island. “To a fun filled night,” I said. We all clanked glasses and took the shot, slamming the glasses down on the counter.
