Chapter 22

Alexis's POV

It was shocking hearing Aubrey mouth those words. No girl had ever said those words to me. Usually, it was just me going down on the ladies. Not the other way around. I always thought tomboys or people of my character were the achievers and not the receivers.

Who am I kidding? Nothing about Aubrey and I's relationship was usual.

It has just hit midnight and the guys were cleaning up, getting ready to leave. All night, Aubrey sat quietly next to me, sipping wine out of her glass. I could tell she was totally out of it after talking to her mother. We watched the scariest of movies but Aubrey didn't move an inch. She didn't flinch, she just blankly stared at the big screen.

Before meeting Alexis upstairs in her bedroom, I walked the guys out. My body lingered for a while in the foyer. My hand was still on the doorknob. Aubrey's words had me shell shocked. I quickly gulped down the last of my beer and tossed it into the trash.
