MINXES SPEAKEASY LOUNGE

That same night, after leaving the Tavern Bodge, I'm drinking my third cider, sitting in a stool chair, at the round bar counter.

"Hey, Angie." Liam said, sitting down in a stool chair, at the round bar counter beside me, and looks at the two empty cider bottles. "You might want to slow down on the drinking."

"A drink?" I asked him.

"Have one." Liam said, taking a swig of his cider bottle. "So, what sorrows are you drinking?"

"Don't want to talk about it." I said, taking a swig of my cider drink. "Besides, I'm in a mood for some company."

Liam takes another swig of his cider drink and looks at me. "Such as?"

I take another swig of my cider drink and looks at Liam with a smirk.

                             a minutes after ...

SAUNDERS HOME

Liam and I walks into my bedroom, kissing each other and undressing each other and gently lays down on my bed, proceeding to intimately hook up.

THE NEXT MORNING, AT THE SAUNDERS HOME...

In my sunny bedroom, Liam and I are laying in my bed, asleep, with the plush thick dark pink covering my torso and lower half of my body and his lower half of his body.

My phone buzzes on my nightstand. I tiredly awakens and picks up my phone, and looks at it.

2 Missed Phone Calls: Aiden

I gently sets my phone back down on my nightstand and lays back down as Liam still asleep.

After putting on my dark pink A lounge shirt and a pair of lounge shirt, Liam had dressed him in his long sleeve Henley shirt, pants and boots.

"So, last night was what exactly, Angie?" Liam asked me.

"It was a hookup between two best buddies." I said to Liam.

Liam and I exchange small smiles and playfully snicker. A gentle knock is on the door.

I walks up to the door and opens it. Aiden is there.

"Hey, Angie." Aiden said, walking inside the living room and sees Liam there.

I gently close the door as Aiden figures out what happened between Liam and Me.

"I'll see you guys around." Liam said, putting on his jacket and walks away.

Aiden looks at me, not knowing what to say. And Liam opens and closes the door behind him.

"Really? Liam?" Aiden said.

"Yeah. Really." I said, nonchalantly, sitting down on the three seat sofa.

"You should know that Me and Gilmore have decided to be best buddies I'm sorry that I lied to you about it." Aiden tells me.

"Okay, that's great. I'm glad you two are gonna be best buddies after your platonic intimacy." I said to him, sarcastically, and nonchalantly.

"And you don't quite care." Aiden said, noticing my nonchalant behavior.

"Nope, I don't." I said.

"You could quite care about Liam, given that you two hooked up with each other." Aiden said, with a hint of jealousy.

"Jealousy isn't handsomely cute on you, Aidy." I said to him.

Aiden starts to walk away, but stops and looks at me. "I know why you hooked up with Liam, but I forgive you, Ang."

I look at Aiden, not saying anything. And he walks away, closing the door behind him.

SAUNDERS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

I'm sitting atop of a picnic table, looking at my Dad and a few of his coworkers working on some things.

"Hey, Angie." My Dad said, slowly approaching me with a small smile.

"Hey, Dad." I said, gently leaping off the picnic table and hugs him. He gently hugs me back and we gently pulls away from the hug. "How are you?"

"I'm good. Just doing some construction work. How are you?" My Dad asked me.

"I'm good." I said.

My phone buzzes in my plaid green jacket pocket. I pulls out my phone and looks at it.

I glance at my Dad. "I gotta go, party at the Tavern Bodge."

"Sure, go head. And I would say "Don't drink too much", but you're a young adult. So, just have some party fun." My Dad said with a small smile.

"Okay. Love you Dad." I said, and slowly walks away.

"Love you too, Ang." My Dad said.

And I walks away.

TAVERN BODGE LOCAL BAR AND LOUNGE CLUBHOUSE

That night, I'm sitting on the U shaped sofa, taking swigs of my cocktail drink.

"Hey, AngieCat." Robyn said, sitting down on the sofa beside me. "Are you okay?"

"I don't know, Robyn. I really don't know. Aiden platonically hooked up with my best friend, Gilmore, and lied about it, and Gilmore said it wasn't platonic between Aiden and her. So, I came to the party, but I'm not quite in a mood." I said to Robyn.

"I'm sure that Aiden and You will work things out between you two. You two are couple-game." said Robyn.

"I don't know about "Aidangie" anymore, Robyn." I said to her.

Robyn and I exchange glumly looks at each other.

Aiden slowly walks up to me. "Angie?"

I drink the rest of my cocktail drink and gets up, walking away from Aiden and he slowly walks after me.

"Angie, you can't emotionally avoid me." Aiden said to me.

And I stopped walking and looks at me. "Oh, yes, I can. Why don't you go back to Gilmore. You're on-off relationship."

"I get it, you're angry that I lied to you about my platonic hookup with Gillie. And I am so sorry." Aiden said.

"Sorry that you lied about it? Or sorry that you and Gilmore platonically hooked up with each other on the sofa?" I tell him, infuriated with teary-eyed. "And plus, since you and Gillie hooked up with each other, perhaps, you two can do it again, but at least, you don't have me holding you back."

Aiden looks at me, bewilderedly. "You're not behaving like yourself right now. You're not thinking clearly. You're hurting and you're angry."

"No, I am thinking clearly. And you have the nerve to become jealous of Rowan's and I's relationship, I am not gonna be your 2nd girl, Aiden." I tell him, agitatedly.

Aiden looks at me, hurt. And I walks away from him. He looks at Yvonne and Gilmore glumly.

"Aiden?" Yvonne said.

"Me and Angie just broke up." Aiden said, glumly, sitting in a armchair.
