I was being nudged and I had no idea why. Opening my eyes, Ashley was in front of me with her deep blue eyes wide open and a mischievous grin on her face. What the hell was going on?

“What?” I breathed.

“You have a man in your bed,” she whispered with a smile and wide eyes.

“What?” My brain registered the weight of Liam’s arm around my waist and his front pressed to my back.

“Yeah, what is going on? Do you need help?” She whispered.

“She’s fine, Ashley,” Liam grumbled low and I flushed at the sound.

“What’s up, man?” At another male voice in my room, I jolted up to see Bas standing in my doorway.

“What are you doing here?” I demanded as Liam rolled on his back and groaned.

“I was dropping Ashley off here and I saw Liam’s car. I was wondering what he’s doing here. Also, you owe him your number.” Bas smiled smugly at me and I looked at Ashley wide-eyed. She narrowed her eyes at Bas in confusion. She wasn’t supposed to give in to Bas, the little hussy. But she wasn’t the one caught in bed with a guy. I guess we were both hussies.

“I was sleeping, obviously,” Liam groused, running a hand over his face.

“Have you been here all day?” Bas questioned and I laid back down. Ashley looked between the three of us.

“Not here all day, but around all day.” Liam gestured wildly with his hand.

“Your dad leaves town and you've got some guy in your bed? What is going on with you?” Ashley pretended to chastise me, shaking her head like she was disappointed when she was actually impressed based on her smile.

“Like what's going on now? Laying in bed obviously,” I quipped and Liam chuckled, burying his face in my hair.

“What are your plans for tonight?” Bas asked.

“Why?” I asked.

“There’s a party at our cove, you two are coming with Ashley and me tonight, right?” Bas mentioned and Ashley gave him a slightly annoyed expression.

“Our cove?” I inquired.

“It’s a semi-private beach we hang out at. We’re going but we should get tacos first,” Liam explained.

“Hell yeah, I could go for tacos,” Bas laughed.

“You assume that we want to go?” Ashley narrowed her eyes on Bas and Liam while gesturing to them.

“No, ‘Hey Ashley and Hannah, want to go to a party?’ Just an assumption that we’d agree to go?” I scoffed.

“Asking would imply it’s a date, and I’m not forgoing the plan I have for our date at this party, but we are hanging out tonight.” Liam gripped my hip and, goddamn, it sent a fire raging under my skin.

“Date?” Ashley blurted.

“It’s your fault,” I replied to Ashley, who suddenly looked offended.

“How?”

“You told him my favorite flower, then the idiot went and filled all of Joanne's with orchids; each with a note asking me on a date.”

“This idiot got the date,” Liam mumbled with a grin and I rolled my eyes.

“I’m sorry Hannah, I was drunk when he ambushed me. Do you want me to make him disappear, babe?” Ashley offered, climbing on the bed on the other side of me. Liam actually growled and pulled me closer to him.

“Oh wow,” I gasped.
