I had got my answer to what was this Saturday night. It was Ryder’s birthday.

“Especially seeing as he is your ‘special friend.'” Blake began to chuckle again.

How many times did I have to say it! “Ryder isn’t my special friend! I told you it isn’t like that.”

“Like fuck it’s not, he was giving you the eyes at the meeting last week.”

I roll my eyes. “You think everyone gives me the eyes.”

He shrugged his shoulders and turned his attention to the television. “Not my fault you don’t wear much.”

“I’m starting to regret this movie night idea,” I grunted, turning on the couch to look at the television.

“Missing Ryder already? OUCH!” He rubbed the arm I had just punched.

“One more reference to Ryder and I having sex, and I’ll hit you again.”

“Always so violent.”

“You haven’t seen violent.”

He flicked the channel. “So, what do you want to watch?”

“Don’t really care to be honest.” I crossed my arms, the bad mood he had put me in was starting to show.

“Oh, come on, Allie.” He nudged me with his shoulder. “I was only joking.”

“It wasn’t funny.”

“Kind of was.”

“WASN’T!”

He flinched away from me. “Ok. Ok. It wasn’t. Don’t see why you are getting so touchy about it.” His eyebrows slowly arched. “Unless it is true.”

I groaned in frustration. “That’s it, I’m going home.”

Blake’s laughter got deeper which made my mood sourer. Why was he in such a good mood anyway? Usually, he was all pissy.

“Why are you in such a good mood?”

He stretched his arms across the back of the couch. “If you really want to know, I got laid this morning, and it was fucking awesome.”

I scrunched my nose up. “God, you are disgusting.”

“You love it.” He winked at me. “So, do you want to watchMisfitsor not?”

“That’s a TV show, not a movie.” I felt like being picky, seeing as he had annoyed me to my limit.

He gave me a challenging look. “So, you don’t want to watch it?”

“I didn’t say that.”

The smirk now on his face annoyed me a bit more. “Well then, let’s watch.”

I was regretting agreeing to hang out with him more than ever, but when the start ofMisfitsstarted playing, that regret lowered.

Amazing what my favorite TV show could cause.
