"Liv, I saw Alice and Scott kissing." Aiden said softly. "There is nothing between Alice and I. She already made her choice."

"You what?" My jaw dropped. "You saw what?"

"That night we were all at the club. I was waiting up to apologize to Alice and as I walked to your room to say sorry, I saw her with Scott and they were kissing."

"Oh." My voice was a squeak and I could tell from the look on Alice's face as she stood there that it was true. "I didn't know."

"Yeah well, it is what it is."

"I'm sorry, Aiden." I said softly.

"It's fine." He sighed. "Maybe we can go and grab lunch soon."

"What? You and me?"

"Yes, you and me." He laughed. "I think we're old enough to be friends now, don't you think?"

"Yes, I'd like that." I said with a smile. "I'd like that a lot."

"Oh and Liv."

"Yes, Aiden?"

"Go easy on Xander." He said softly. "He's a good guy."

"What are you talking about?" I asked softly, my heart racing and my face red.

"You know." He laughed. "I'll see you soon." He said and hung up. I put my phone in my pocket and looked at Alice in silence, unsure of what to say.

"You kissed Scott?" I said finally and she sighed.

"No, yes, not really." She burst into tears. "He walked me to my room that night and he leaned in to give me a kiss outside the door. And I said what would one kiss hurt? You'd always told me to go for him. So I leaned forward and he kissed me, but I knew as soon as our lips touched that I didn't like him like that, but it was too late. As we kissed I saw Aiden in the corridor glaring at us and I just didn't know what to do." She sobbed. "Oh Liv, what am I going to do?"

"Oh Alice." I groaned. "We've really f.u.c.ked this all up."

"I don't know what to do." She cried. "I really like Aiden and now he hates me."

"He doesn't hate you." I sighed. "I'll come up with a plan. We'll figure something out."

"Thanks, Liv." She rubbed her eyes. "I'm going to go and lie down now."

"Okay." I nodded and watched her leave the room. I stood there for a few seconds and then pulled my phone out and made a call.

"h.e.l.lo." His voice was a s.e.xy drawl and I felt my heart jump at the sound.

"It's Liv."

"I know." He laughed. "I take it you got my gift."

"Yes." I shook my head as I walked to my bedroom. "I did."

"What do you think?"

"I think it's perverted. Who sends someone a plastic tongue?" I laughed.

"Me." He said softly. "Have you used it yet?"

"Used it? What are you talking about?"

"Oh, you don't know what it is yet?"

"No, what is it?"

"Take it out of the box and look at it carefully."

"Okay." I grabbed the box and pulled the tongue out. I looked at it carefully and noticed a small switch I hadn't seen before. I turned it on and the tongue started vibrating back and forth. "Oh my G.o.d, is this a vibrator?"

"Yes." He laughed.

"Xander." I shouted at him. "How could you?"

"How could I what?" He laughed. "I figured if you couldn't have my miracle tongue, you could have second best."

"Wow, how nice of you." I laughed and lay back on the bed.

"I aim to please." He said with a chuckle. "I'm glad you called Liv."

"I heard about you and Gabby." I said softly.

"Yes, the engagement is over."

"I'm sorry about everything. I'm sorry she lied about being pregnant."

"I ended it before I knew she was lying Liv." He said softly. "I ended it the weekend you showed up with Brock and Jock."

"What? That was two weeks ago." I said, hurt he hadn't called me.

"I was mad at you Liv. I wanted to talk to you that weekend, but you went out with Alice and you never came back."

"I was too hurt and jealous."

"I understand why you were upset at me. I acted like an idiot." He sighed. "I shouldn't have expected you to be okay with me and Gabby being married; even if it was a fake engagement."

"It was crazy, but I could have been more understanding."

"We were both a bit crazy." He sighed. "But maybe more than anyone. I'm not even sure what I was thinking. All I can say is that the first weekend with you gave me some sort of brain damage."

"Oh Xander." I giggled.

"So are you going to test out the tongue?" He asked softly.

"What?" I said feeling a bit turned on.

"I want you to try the tongue and tell me if you prefer the real thing or not."

"Xander." I blushed. "I'm not going to do that?"

"Or maybe I can help you out and see for myself."

"See for yourself?"

"I can see if you scream louder with your present or with my miracle tongue."

"Hmm, I'll think about it."

"Make up your mind quickly." He laughed and then I heard the doorbell ring. "I'm here."

"You're here? At my house?"

"Yes. Now come and get me."

"Hold on." I ran out of the room and to the front door and there he was. "Xander, you're here."

"Yes, it's me, in the flesh."

"I don't know what to say." I blushed and he grabbed me and pulled me forward to kiss me.

"Say you want me to come in and visit your bedroom." He winked at me as he turned his phone off.

"Come in." I said weakly and we walked to my bedroom quickly. Xander closed and locked the door behind him and then pulled me in for another kiss.

"I've missed the taste of you." He said softly. "I've missed you."

"You didn't call." I said as I kissed him back.

"I wanted to give you time to miss me as well." He laughed. "Now, let's see that tongue."

"You want me to use it now."

"Oh yes." He laughed as his ma.s.saged my b.r.e.a.s.t.s. "I very much want you to use it now."

"Hmm, I'll think about it." I pulled his shirt up and touched his stomach, letting my fingers slip into his pants to touch his manhood.

"Oh, Liv." He groaned and grabbed my hand. "Don't start something you can't finish."

"Oh, I can finish." I grinned at him and licked my lips.

"I want you to come with me to a wedding this weekend." He said against my head as his hands slipped up my shirt.

"I'm not going to go just so you can have some more church s.e.x." I giggled and lifted my arms up so he could pull my top off. He unclasped my bra and sucked on my b.r.e.a.s.t.s with vigor. "Oh Xander." I groaned as his hand reached down and undid the b.u.t.ton on my pants.

"That's not why I want you to come with me." He muttered as he pulled my pants down.

"Uh huh." I said and watched as he pulled his shirt off.

"I want you to come as my date." He looked up at me with a smile as he pulled his pants down. "I want it to be our first official date."

"Hmm, really?" I gasped as he grabbed me and carried me over to the bed.

"I'm sure." He kissed my neck as his fingers slid down between my legs and rubbed me gently.

"Oh Xander." I groaned as he kissed down my stomach and then stopped right at my belly b.u.t.ton.

"Yes, dear?" He grinned up at me.

"I've missed you." I said softly and ran my hands through his hair.

"I've missed you too." He kissed back up my stomach and stared into my eyes. "I nearly let my fear ruin the best thing that's ever happened to me."

"Oh?" I said softly as I gazed back at him. "What's the best thing that's ever happened to you? Hooking up at a wedding? Having a one night stand with me?"

"What we had was not a one night stand." He kissed my lips softly. "What we had was so much more. And I'm not just saying that. I'm not inviting you to the wedding so we can have hot s.e.x in a side room. I'm inviting you because I want to have you by my side at a special occasion. I want to show my friends and my family that I have a girlfriend and I'm proud to introduce her to everyone I know and love."

"Oh Xander." I kissed him hard, my heart melting.

"And Liv, I want to make this vow to you." He grinned at me.

"What's that?" I asked, my heart beating fast.

"I vow that the next wedding we have s.e.x at will be ours." He said with a deep voice, full of emotion as he gazed at me with love in his eyes.

"Oh Xander." I stared at him searchingly, not daring to believe what I was hearing.

"I love you Liv." He kissed my lips, and my nose and my cheeks. "I loved you the moment I saw you. You're the wind to my sails. You're everything to me. I never ever expected to feel this way. I've never wanted to wake up with someone before. It took me aback, but now I know how lucky I am. I love you, Liv and I know that I love you with all of my heart. I know you're the only one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I know that you're it for me. So know that I mean that vow with all my heart. I see us getting married, Liv. No one could ever love you more than I do because I love you with everything it means to love. We don't know each other that well yet, but we have the rest of our lives to get to know each other." He kissed me again softly and stroked my face. "Will you let me be your Mr. Miracle Tongue forever, Liv?"

"Oh yes, Xander." I nodded. "I love you too."

"Good." He said smugly. "And now it's time to conduct the test." He grinned. "I want you to close your eyes so you can't see if it's my tongue or the toy and then I want you to tell me which one you think is best."

"Oh Xander." I giggled and was about to say something else, but the sight of him wiggling his tongue at me shut me up. I mean, who was I to say no to the contest? I needed to concentrate hard and prepare myself for the o.r.g.a.s.ms to come. It's a hard job, but someone's got to do it.
