sincere look caught me off guard as I put my hand on her shoulder. It was a little touch but it was hot.
    “Thanks, Aoife. You are more than welcome to join me if you are so bored here,” I offered. I knew she would say no. She was stuck in a corner.
    “I'm here with Freddie. Well, I came with him. I think he's Lizzie's friend?” Her big green eyes looked up at me with disappointment and then I saw it. Did she like Freddie, too? Oh, fuck me. This was a mother cluster fuck of a party. What in God’s name were they thinking? It wasn’t a love triangle. It was a sexual octagon or Pi multiplied by lust. This shit was fucking ridiculous.
    “Aoife,” I smiled as I pronounced her name consciously. “You should come with me. I will get you home safely. I’m just heading out to meet some old friends at a bar. I bet I’ll be better company than you sitting here bored all night.” I motioned to the door with the flick of my hand.
    She worried her lip with her teeth and the image of me licking that one tooth was now taking hold of my brain imagery. Damn, I could ogle a girl, post a few beers, fifty miles away from Lizzie any day but for me to do this while she was just a stone’s throw away was messing with my head. I couldn’t be attracted to Irish – Aoife. She was just like me, right? Unrequited love from Freddie? Freddie was probably still hung up on Lizzie, too. And who the hell wouldn’t be? We were all hung up on each other. I felt suffocated.
    Everyone wants to know why in the creepy shits Lizzie chose Nicholas Sawyer over anyone else? Yes, he was attractive and he loved her and her band. He had money and they went through a whirlwind of complications, but I was her steady backbone. I was steady and safe and she said she would always need me.
    However, this girl in front of me now didn’t even dare ask me for help. I didn’t care. I was going to give it to her anyway.
    “Come on, let’s tell them we are taking off,” I decided as I gently took her arm. She flinched at my touch and immediately dropped my hand. Aoife was timid and skittish. So why was she here in the first place?
    “You don’t have to go, Aoife,” I said with sincerity, looking directly in her eyes.
    “I know, Sean, but I want to,” she whispered. “I really want to.” Her eyes darted back to the area that Freddie was standing among Johnny and some other people.
    “Will you hold my hand?” I asked, adjusting my tone of voice. I suddenly felt the need to be gentle and delicate.
    Even her nod was small and endearing as she finally gave me a smile that cracked my angry demeanor in two. I smiled right back at her to confirm she was making a good choice by picking me tonight. This place was over.
    We gingerly held hands and walked towards the elevators, passing Lizzie and Nick to our left.
    “We are going to take off!” I shouted it loud enough so that Freddie would hear me, too. Aoife watched Freddie and I quickly glanced to see him giving us a weird look.
    When I turned back to face Lizzie, she had a shit eating grin on her face and Nick had an impenetrable look of admiration while he put his arms around Lizzie’s waist. 
    Fucking ouch. Rub it in cock sucker.
    Aoife’s hand slackened in mine in reaction to my response to the couple of the evening. I grasped it back so we were linked. Thank the lord for hand squeezing. She might have just saved me from making an ass out of myself.  We both turned to leave and I made sure to grab another shot of something as we walked through the kitchen to the foyer. Aoife followed my action and slammed back a whisky shot without batting an eye. Oh… this night could be a monumental disaster or a sinfully sweet one.

    Boston Commons was buzzing for a Saturday night. The homeless were out full force since it was a relatively warm May. One approached us as we came out of the apartment building. I immediately dug out money and handed it over.
    “I was told not to give the homeless
