Daniel and I head back outside and walk towards a table next to Noah and a few of the others I met earlier.

“Help yourselves to the food, guys,” Noah says, handing us a plate each.

After piling our plates, we take a seat and start eating. “Damn, this is good shit,” I say as I finish my last mouthful.

“I’m not just a pretty face, Mac,” Noah replies with a grin which I return.

“I never said you had a pretty face,” I retort.

“Nice. So how’ve you been, Mac? We haven’t had many shifts together lately,” Noah asks, handing us a beer each and sitting down opposite us.

I raise an eyebrow as Daniel suddenly places his hand on my thigh. Interesting.

“I’m good. I’ve been working split shifts, so it’s been a little hectic. Besides, it’s not like you’ve been keeping in contact,” I add. I feel Daniel’s hand tense up on my leg.

Shit! Foot meet mouth.

Noah’s eyes shift over to Daniel’s hand on my lap before quickly looking back at me. His eyes dance with amusement at Daniel’s overtly possessive behavior.

Fuck, this is awkward. Penis number one meet penis number four. You can’t make this shit up. Seriously, kill me now!

“Well we’re here now, aren’t we,” he replies, bringing his beer bottle to his mouth but failing to hide his smirk.

Two can play at this game. I put my hand over Daniel’s, leaning over to give him a kiss on the cheek.

“Sure are.”

Suddenly, there are a new round of welcomes being called out. I look up towards the house and see a gorgeous blonde-haired supermodel walking towards us. I mean seriously, she looks like she’s just walked off the Victoria’s Secret runway into Noah’s backyard.

I hear Daniel and Noah stop talking as she gets closer to us.

“Nikki,” Daniel says warmly, the smile on his face unmistakable.

“Hey, Nix, didn’t think you’d make it,” Noah says, standing up to kiss the mystery woman on her cheek.

Daniel also stands and the woman’s face softens as she looks over at him, wrapping her hands around his shoulders and giving him a long hug. Her eyes shift toward me, and she smirks, sizing me up in a way that sets my blood boiling. I purse my lips together and clench my fists, trying to rein in this unfamiliar attack of the green-eyed monster I seem to be having.

Daniel turns back towards me as he pulls away from the embrace. “Mac, this is Nikki, my-”

“Ex-girlfriend is the word you’re looking for, D,” Noah interrupts, grinning at me.

“Yeah, my ex-girlfriend from college,” he says, sitting back down beside me.

“Hi,” she says sweetly to me. I scan her from head to toe, clenching my teeth as I imagine all the different scenes in which her mouth would have been on Daniel.

Fuck! Get outta my head!

“Hey, I’m Mac. Daniel’s girlfriend,” I say without stuttering.

Girlfriend? Holy crap!

I can see Daniel looking at me out of the corner of my eye, his mouth stuck open in shock.

“Oh,” she says, taken aback. “You didn’t mention you were dating again, Dan.
