just how you like it," Ethan said as he set Kira's drink down in front of her. He also didn't miss the opportunity to nuzzle her neck while she was otherwise occupied with our conversation. I couldn't help grinning like an idiot.
    "So, when's the wedding?" I asked with a smirk. Kira blushed like a tomato and Ethan shook his head and laughed.
    "I think we should start with saying we love each other."
    Kira's eyes widened and she turned in her chair.
    "You love me?" She asked softly. Ethan’s eyes softened as he leaned down and kissed her lips lightly, lovingly.
    "Of course I do. I've loved you since we were teenagers. I just didn't realize what the feeling was."
    Kira's eyes were tearing up as she threw her arms around him and kissed him fiercely. I let it go on for a while before I noticed other people giving them funny looks.
    "Ahem!" I cleared my throat loudly but it didn't stop them. "Guys!" I said, snapping my fingers in front of their faces. Still nothing. "Ethan, if you don't stop attacking my friends face, I'm going to seriously cripple your manhood," I warned him. That seemed to do the trick, because they soon separated.
    "I love you too," Kira said. I'm pretty sure that after their public display of affection, her statement was moot.
    After that, we all fell into an easy conversation, laughing and teasing each other relentlessly.
    It felt good being out again and getting back to a normal life with my friends. That was until a loud bustling noise came from the front of the bar. We all turned to see a group of about nine or ten men strut in, causing everybody to cheer.
    "What's that all ab..." I was about to finish my sentence when my throat closed up. The last person to walk in the door was the last person I ever expected to see. Aiden.

 
    Chapter 9
    I had to get out of there, but how could I without him seeing me? I looked around and didn’t see a back door. I began to panic when he quickly made his way over to our table.
    "Emily," he said in greeting, as if I actually intended to talk to him.
    After a moment, I stood up and let him lead me outside and glared at him. I wasn’t going to speak at first.
    "How've you been?"
    "Busy with school and you?"
    "We just started our pre-season. How was your flight back?”
    Did he really just ask me that? I looked at him with a mixture of disbelief and irritation.
    "What do you want Aiden?"
    "I want you, Emily. I miss you."
    "You're engaged and about to be a father, for fuck sakes." I shook my head in disbelief. "I should get back inside." As I turned to leave, he grabbed my arm.
    "Wait!"  We stood there for a minute, before he finally spoke up. "Please, let me explain.”
    "There's nothing to explain Aiden. I get it. You wanted a vacation fling, a good time with no commitments or relationship drama."
    "No, you have it all wrong."
    "Aiden, go back to Brittney and take care of your baby."
    I walked back inside and grabbed my purse, ready to get the hell out of Dodge.
    "Can we please leave guys?" I asked desperately. I may have seemed strong when I was telling Aiden to go back to Brittney, but in reality, the only thing I wanted to do was beg him to kiss me, and make all of our problems go away.
    "Of course."
    They all stood up immediately, making me more than thankful that my group of friends were such great people.
    "Emily, wait!" I heard from behind me. My shoulders sagged and I closed my eyes.
    Ethan stepped between us, blocking me from Aiden.
    "Hey Man, just leave her alone, alright? You've caused enough damage as it is."
    Although I appreciated him standing up for me, I could have killed him for choosing the word 'damage' over 'drama'. Really Ethan? I'm not freaking damaged. I'm just hurt.
    "I just need to talk to her," Aiden pleaded.
    "I don't think that's a good idea."
    Kira came over with Kaitlin and they took me outside. I ran my hand through my hair.
    "I can't believe he's here.”
    "Maybe its fate," Kira suggested.
    I rolled my eyes. For weeks she'd been
