I quickly wipe my lips and comb through my hair with my hands before Jace can let our guests inside. Once I join him at the door, he swings it open.

"Evening friends" Bree says enthusiastically, holding a bottle of red wine in the air.

I chuckle at her right away. 

"Hey guys" I say, giving Austin and Bree a little hug. Both of them step inside, after we've all greeted each other.

"Ready to go man?" Austin says, giving Jace a pat on the back.

"You bet. You two are going to be okay here on your own?" Jace says, grabbing his jacket, ready to head out the door.

"You mean us three" Bree says jokingly, motioning to the bottle of wine. 

Jace chuckles at her like I did seconds ago.

"Alright, you two have fun then" Austin says, kissing Bree on the lips.

"Yeah, you too" I say as Jace walks over to me.

"We'll be home soon" he says to me, giving me a quick peck too.

"Okay" I whisper towards him. 

And just like that, the boys are out the door. I sigh quickly, still not feeling great about tonight.

"Alright, shall we open this baby up?" Bree says eagerly.

Laughing, I nod my head yes at her. "Absolutely" I say and grab the bottle from her, to take it into the kitchen.

"This is a damn nice place I have to say. I can see why you spend so much time here" Bree remarks, following me with the two glasses that were set on the coffee table.

"I know right, I was as surprised as you are" I chuckle back at her.

I fill the glasses and Bree and I make our way over to the couch.

"How are you then? What do you think of Austin?" Bree wants to know.

"I think Austin's great. I see why you like him."

"That's good to hear. I really like Jace too, despite his... you know, occupation" she smiles awkwardly.

"I know... honestly, I wouldn't mind him having a normal job."

"But we have no control over our heart, right?" Bree sighs.

"Yeah, you're right" I say, handing her a glass of wine.

"To a great Halloween night" she says, toasting her glass towards me.

"Absolutely" I add, toasting right with her.

I hand Bree the TV remote, demanding her to pick a movie, while I return to the kitchen to put the popcorn into the microwave. Shortly after, she made her choice and decided to go for the top horror movie on Netflix. When the microwave signals me it's time to take out the popcorn, we dive into the first movie.
