and
tell my brother about Dean. Jaxon and I don’t really keep much from one
another.
    When I finish he is laughing
    “I never thought I
would see the day when little Livvie would be coming to me with boy problems”
he laughs
    I throw an apple from
the fruit bowl at him as Joss came running in
    “Daddy” she says,
raising her little voice “leave my auntie alone.” Then she ran back towards her
room
    “Yeah daddy.” I mock
    “Seriously, though this
Dean guy seems like a bit of a player, you should probably stay away from him
Liv. I mean you can be friends with him, but it doesn’t sound like he is a one
woman kind of guy.”
    I agree with him. Of
course I do. He would never steer me wrong, especially when it comes to a man.
    I get up and walk into
Josslyn’s room. She’s playing with her Lalaloopsy dolls. I play with her for a
few hours, we have lunch and then I help her pack her bags so that she can have
her very first sleep over at my house.
    I buckle Josslyn’s car
seat in, and before we pulled out of the driveway I glance in my rearview mirror
and watch her for a minute.
    She isn’t paying
attention to me, she’s playing with her new Elsa doll “hey puppy” I ask she
looks up and smiles at the nick name alone. When she started to walk when she
was about a year old, she would walk and then get down on her hands and knees
and bark like a puppy. Jaxon started calling her ‘puppy’ and it’s pretty much
stuck ever since.
    “Do you think we should
call Alexis and invite her to our little party?”
    Instant squealing from
my niece “yeah and we can paint our toes.”
    I smile
    Alexis has been my very
best friend since I met her when I was in the 5 th grade. She went to
the same school as Jaxon I. Her family was loaded. I mean one of the riches families
in our town, which says a whole lot.
    That being said, Alexis
was a stripper. Don’t get any bad ideas about her, she makes really good money
not that she needs it and she works in a really high end club where only the
wealthiest of men can enter. Her parents fought her on it for months, but it
made her happy so they eventually backed off. 
    She was an amazing
girl, but she likes the boys. She always has. In high school she slept around a
lot. Not because she couldn’t find a boy she liked to stick with. No. That
wasn’t her reason for it at all, her issue was she was in love with a
particular boy who was very unavailable
    My brother.
    Jaxon knew she had a
crush but Alexis who was forward with every guy she met, never wanted Jaxon to
know how she felt about him.
    When he dropped out she
didn’t really see him anymore. She only came around when Joss and I were alone
together at Jaxon’s or when she was only going to need to see Jaxon for small
moments.
    The issue wasn’t Joss,
I think she felt that she wasn’t good enough for Jaxon.
    I tried to get her to
tell him, I didn’t know if he liked her as well. It felt silly to ask my
brother if he liked my best friend, but she always refused. She said it would
make things weird.
    As soon as I send
Alexis a text asking if she was interested in joining J and I, she calls me
back. I answer, putting her on speaker “Party time Joss? Of course I will
come.” She was play screaming into the phone
    Josslyn’s face is
plastered with a huge smile as she starts clapping her hands in excitement
“bring your nail polish and slippers.” I tell Alexis “Joss and I will order
Chinese
    “Okie dokie, I will see
you dolls in a few.” She agrees, ending the call
    We pull up to my house
about 10 minutes later, I see Deans truck is still in the driveway, a black
Escalade SUV is now parked behind it. Dark tinted windows making the large
vehicle look like it belonged to someone important.
    I pulled Josslyn’s
overnight back over my shoulder, then reached into the back seat to pull her
out. She had started to doze off on the way over after we were finished talking
to Lexie, so I carry her into the house.
    When I open the
