I buckled my own seat belt then started up my car. I pulled out of the space I was in and quickly drove out of the car park. I don't think I calmed down enough to breathe normally until we were on the Tallaght Bypass.
"Can you believe him? What a fuckin' dick!" I spat.
Aideen snorted. "I found that entire conversation hilarious."
I shook my head. "Well you shouldn't have. Look at your face, Aideen!"
Aideen sighed. "I know, but it honestly it wasn't their fault. We were just havin' a good time when out of nowhere this girl jumped on me."
I gripped my steering wheel so tight that my knuckles turned white.
"Why were you even with them?" I spat.
I wasn't angry with her, I was just angry that she got hurt by some bitch.
"I wasn't even with them. Tonight was the first time I met them. I was out with Branna. Tonight was a small twenty-first birthday party for Bronagh. They all left a few minutes ago. I was sat with Kane and Alec when a drunk girl came over and accused me of bein' Alec's latest shag. Alec laughed at the girl but didn't deny it so she jumped on me."
I grunted.
Branna Murphy was Aideen's friend and has been her friend since they were in preschool. Aideen is a few years older than me so she has known Branna longer than she has known me. I'm a grown woman, I'm not at all jealous of their friendship. Branna was cool after all. Her sister Bronagh was great as well, I was two years older than Bronagh, who turned twenty-one today. I had been invited to go out with everyone tonight but my body was beat, so I declined the invitation.
My thoughts calmed me down enough for me to loosen my white-knuckle grip on the steering wheel but I still shook with anger. "You should have let me punch 'em."
Aideen chuckled then lifted her hand to cradle her face. "You would have broken your hand! Did you see how big he was?"
I grunted and nodded my head. "His brother was even more muscular. Do they live at the gym or somethin'?"
Aideen snickered. "Branna said they have a gym in her house. ’Member I told you she moved in with Ryder and the oldest twin Nico, moved in with her sister?"
I nodded my head.
"Branna didn't just move in with Ryder, she moved in with Alec and Kane as well. She said there is a gym room where the sittin' room should be and that they all work out a lot. You should see Nico; he's twenty-one and the lad is ripped. He is a fighter or somethin'."
I glanced at her wide eyed. "Why the hell are you hangin' around walkin' tanks, Aideen?"
Aideen burst into a fit of giggles which made me grin even though I was mad.
"They are lovely - big and scary - but lovely."
I shivered when I pictured Kane's face, calling him lovely was not a word that I would use to describe him.
"How do you think Kane got those scars on his face? They are kind of severe."
Aideen sighed. "I've no idea what happened to him but he is still gorgeous!"
"You like his accent as well, right?" I questioned.
Aideen purred, "Oh my God. I could listen to him talk all day! He could make me wet by just sayin' 'Hello'!"
I rolled my eyes. "I swear you think with your dick."
Aideen cackled. "You mean vagina?"
"Yeah, I mean vagina but sayin' dick sounds better."
Aideen continued to laugh then hissed a little and covered her face with her hands. I glanced at her every so often during the five minute drive back to my apartment complex. I parked in my usual spot, then Aideen and myself got out of the car. After I locked it we quickly scurried across the car park and into my apartment building. We took the stairs two at a time until we got to the fifth floor where my apartment was located. I opened my hall door with lightening like speed because I didn't want to be caught by Mr. Pervert again dressed in just my nightdress.
Luckily, we got inside with no one seeing us. Aideen and I then went into the bathroom where I got out my first aid kit while she pulled her dress off then pulled down her underwear and sat on the toilet.
I was opening an antiseptic packet when I glanced up at her through the mirror and snorted, "Do you reckon lads do this?"
Aideen opened her eyes and lazily smiled at me as she said, "Willingly go to the toilet with another lad in the room? Nah, they would call each other gay."
I chuckled and looked back down to the first aid kit while Aideen finished up on the toilet. I turned when the toilet flushed and waited for her to wash her hands before I began cleaning her face up. She was four inches shorter than me now that her heels were off, so it made holding her head still a lot easier.
"Ow!" Aideen suddenly hollered which earned a bark from my bedroom.
"Go back asleep you fat shite!" Aideen shouted when I swiped the antiseptic wipe over a small cut above her eye.
I hissed at her, "Leave him alone, he isn't fat. He just has a thick coat!"
Aideen laughed through her hissing. "Yeah, a thick coat of blubber."
I gave her a firm look. "Don't slag me baby when I'm cleanin' you up. Me finger might slip and jam into your eye."
Aideen gave me a wary look and closed her mouth which made me inwardly grin as I finished cleaning up her face. When I was finished, she went into my bedroom to get some of my pajamas to wear while I went into the kitchen to get a glass of water. I turned on the kitchen light then moved to the sink and filled up a glass and quickly gulped down the water. I looked to my left and noticed the envelope Mr. Pervert gave to me earlier, still unopened on my kitchen table.
"Storm, get off the bed... or at least move over!" Aideen's voice shouted from my bedroom.
I roughly rubbed the back of my neck and sighed. I glanced at the envelope once more before I shook my head and walked over to the kitchen light switch and flipped it off. I turned and walked towards the sounds of growling and shouting coming from my bedroom and decided that dealing with Storm and Aideen was enough to deal with for one night.
Whatever was in that envelope could wait until morning.
