`` then there 's hope for me yet . ''
`` i would think so . ''
aidan appeared then , carrying all the drinks on a tray .
`` i expect a tip when you guys finish , '' he teased .
`` i 'll remember that , '' megan replied .
after jerking his chin toward the table next to him , aidan said , `` why do n't you guys come over here with us ? ''
she fought the urge to slap him .
she was enjoying having pesh to herself .
`` um , sure .
okay , '' she said , reluctantly rising out of her chair .
when they changed tables , she was glad to see pesh take the empty chair beside her , rather than across from her .
once she got settled in , she was n't lamenting her seat change too much .
between casey , and emma 's other best friend , connor , the table was kept in raucous laughter .
it was good being with a group of friends .
after she had gotten pregnant , she did n't have much in common with her sorority sisters anymore .
then when she became a mom , she rarely saw anyone from her old group .
her life moved in an entirely different orbit than theirs now .
the conversation and laughter flowed as easily as the drinks .
megan found herself halfway through her second margarita when she started feeling funny .
a flush filled her cheeks at the same time she felt clammy .
as aidan came back with another beer , she asked , `` did you put something different in this one ? ''
`` yeah , we ran out of the tequila i got for the party , so i gave my favorite niece a good dose of sierra silver . ''
`` what ? ''
megan demanded .
aidan 's brows furrowed behind his tipped back beer bottle .
once he swallowed , he asked , `` does it taste bad ? ''
megan pinched her eyes shut .
the room was beginning to spin around her a little .
as she brought her hand to her forehead , she heard a smack across the room and aidan cry , `` ow , dammit , em ! ''
`` that tequila is a hundred and fifty proof alcohol , aidan , '' emma chastised .
`` sorry .
i did n't realize it .
i just thought it was the better stuff because it was white tequila .
that 's your drink of choice , not mine . ''
oh god , she was in so much trouble .
she 'd barely consumed any alcohol since she got pregnant and had mason .
now she 'd had one regular dosed margarita and almost a full one of straight alcohol .
a gentle hand landed on her thigh .
`` are you all right ? ''
pesh asked .
she opened her eyes to see two blurry images of him staring at her with concern .
`` not exactly . ''
`` would you like me to take you home ? ''
`` yes , please .
while i can still walk . ''
as she rose out of her chair , she swayed a little in her heels .
after taking two steps , aidan 's apologetic face appeared before her .
`` i 'm sorry , meggie . ''
`` it 's not your fault .
and i 'll be fine . ''
she wagged a finger at him .
`` but when i get shit for coming home drunk , i 'm so telling mom it was your fault . ''
he smiled .
`` i 'll gladly take the blame and fear angie 's wrath . ''
he leaned in to hug her .
`` thanks for today-you know , for being noah 's godmother . ''
`` you 're welcome .
thanks for me asking you . ''
she shook her head .
`` i mean , thanks for asking me . ''
god , this was bad .
after exchanging hugs with emma and reassuring her at least twenty times that she would be fine and that she did need to go home , pesh led megan out the front door .
he slid a strong arm around her waist to steady her as they went down the porch steps .
as she staggered to the car , she moaned .
`` i ca n't go home yet .
not like this . ''
she stared up into his face .
`` i ca n't let mason see me like this . ''
he pushed a strand of hair out of her face .
`` do n't worry .
i 'll take you to my house then . ''
`` just so i can sober up ? ''
she questioned , although she really did n't mean it .
she wanted to go to his house for a lot more , especially after being so close to his fabulously built body .
`` yes , of course .
i 'll make you some strong , black coffee . ''
`` thank you , '' she murmured , trying to still the spinning of her head .
`` you 're welcome . ''
always the gentleman , pesh opened the door for her , and she collapsed onto the seat .
once he made sure she was comfortable , he closed the door and went around the front of the car .
megan gazed around at the plush interior of the jaguar with its leather seats and sleek console .
after pesh slid into his seat , he put the key in the ignition and cranked up .
as they started backing out of the driveway , she glanced over at him .
`` do you have to come to the rescue women of drunken . ''
she shook her head .
`` i mean , drunken women a lot ? ''
she asked .
wait , was she slurring ?
he cut his eyes over at her and smiled .
he seemed to be trying really hard not to laugh at her .
`` not exactly .
but i 'm always happy to help a damsel in distress . ''
megan giggled .
oh god , now she was giggling ?
she never giggled .
she eyed pesh suspiciously .
`` got a hero complex , huh ?
wan na be every woman 's knight in shining armor ? ''
`` not every woman 's , '' he murmured .
`` mmm , pesh , you wan na be my knight in shining armor ? ''
