Is this destiny?

~ Austin, Texas ~

In an upscale restaurant, Liam, Patrick and Madison are having lunch.

They reminisced about high school days for most of the lunch.

Through the lunch, Madison expected Liam to get to the point: why did he arrange for this lunch? But he didn\'t seem interested in serious talk. She kept her utensils on the table and looked at Liam. "I know you didn\'t call me here to talk about high school. I\'m done with food, so you have two minutes to tell me why I\'m here before my patience runs out."

Liam smirked at Madison. "Smart… still smart."

"Don\'t flatter me. Get to the point. I assume there is one."

Liam shoot a glance at Patrick and Patrick understood that this is the part where he needs to be quiet and listen.

Liam faced Madison. "Are you going to the wedding of Jeffrey White?"

"Of course!" Madison said this louder than intended and glanced around awkwardly to make sure she didn\'t attract attention of anyone important. She cleared her throat and lowered her voice: "Why do you care?"

Liam liked her reaction. Madison was always the one to act without much thinking, and he needs someone like that. "Do you plan to get back with your loved one?"

Madison frowned for a second, irritated by Liam\'s question, but then flashed a confident smile.

Liam took Madison\'s expression as a confirmation and continued asking. "Do you have a plan, or are you relying solely on your good looks?"

Madison didn\'t respond. She narrowed her eyes while glaring at Liam. Well, he was right… as much as she wanted to have a plan, she could not come up with anything. So far, her plan is to dress up in a flattering and attention grabbing dress and to start talking with Aiden. That must work, right? It works with most of the other boys.

Liam laughed. "You need a plan, woman! I\'m confident he will not be without a female company."

"Do you know something?" Madison snapped. His mocking undertone reminded him of Kyra\'s from few days ago.

"I know that he never goes anywhere without female company. Even if he arrives by himself, he will definitely not leave without a girl.", Liam vaguely responded on purpose. "And there is a good chance that woman accompanying him is fresh while you… Let\'s just say he got to taste you before."

"I\'m sure you didn\'t call me here only to insult me."

"Again… smart." Liam pulled a small brown colored glass bottle out of his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Madison.

Madison took the bottle and observed that it\'s filled with some colorless liquid. She wanted to open bottle, but Liam stopped her by placing his hand over hers.

"Not here.", he warned her.

Madison reluctantly looked at the bottle again. "What is this?"

"It is something that will make him crave for meat regardless if it\'s fresh or not." Liam smirked.

"Aphrodisiac? Are you kidding me?" Madison could not hide her disgusted expression while placing the bottle in front of Liam indicating that she does not want to have anything to do with it.

Liam didn\'t give up. He pushed the bottle closer to Madison while explaining: "This is latest on the market. Dip your nail in it and just scratch the surface of the skin slightly… in less than a minute he will have a raging hard on and he will desperately look for a relief... and because such a small dose is needed, it\'s almost undetectable!"

Madison rolled her eyes. "What\'s the point of using that? I don\'t want him for one time… I want him long term."

Liam scoffed and took the bottle off the table. "And you looked so confident."

He was about to put bottle back in the pocket when Madison held his hand.

"What do you mean?" She felt that there is some meaning behind Liam\'s words and had second thoughts.

Liam smirked while thinking that Madison is playing along just how he planned. He looked into her eyes with an innocent face while talking: "I\'m just saying… you look confident, like you know what you are doing. I heard you saying more than once that you are the best he ever had. My intention was to help you in an off chance that he forgot how you feel. After all, it was a long time ago."

Liam lifted the bottle to Madison\'s eye level. "This is just a small help for you to remind him what the best is, and after that, he is yours, right?"

Madison hesitated for few seconds before taking the bottle from Liam\'s hand. She was looking at the bottle when she heard Liam speak: "If you need help getting him somewhere private, feel free to let me know."

Madison smirked and placed the bottle in her bag. Few minutes later, she left. Madison was happy that now she has a plan. She will talk to Aiden, and if he is not responding as expected, she only needs to scratch him a little. And Liam will help her to drag him away from the event. She even knows that she will get a room at that resort! Amazing!

"Why did you give her that?" Patrick asked as soon as Madison left.

"I want to increase her chance of seducing Aiden." Liam explained.

"Why? I thought we will take care of him."

"The more commotion, the better… besides, he has a fiancée."

Patrick laughed. "It does not look like Madison knows about his fiancée."

Liam rolled his eyes. "Of course, she does not know. She is a simpleton."

Patrick knows that Madison is not smart, everyone knows that. And he can tell that Liam is using her. But he does not understand why.

"Why didn\'t you tell her that he has a fiancée?", Patrick asked.

"Knowing Madison, if she knows that Aiden has a fiancée, she will target the girl. And I want her to focus on him."

"When she reaches there, she will see them together." Patrick saw a flaw in Liam\'s approach.

Liam agreed. "True. But she will probably see that girl as a simple wedding-date. Later, even if she finds out that Sarah is his fiancée, with Madison\'s one-way mindset, she will not be able to come up with another plan other than to use that aphrodisiac." 

Patrick had to agree that Liam thought about this. Liam was always the scheming one, using others to do his bidding. And he didn\'t lose his touch.

Patrick didn\'t miss that Liam knows the fiancée and he wondered if Liam likes her. "Sarah? Why do I feel a warm and cozy feeling when you say her name?"

Liam\'s face darkened. "There is nothing warm and cozy about that girl. Besides, Aaron made his claim on her."

Patrick chuckled. "While on topic of Aaron, guess who is my +1…"

Liam shrugged indicating that he does not know.

"Jessica." Patrick grinned.

Liam could not believe his ears. "You are kidding, right? Aaron will go ballistic!"

"Why would I care about him? She is hot and available… and she accepted.", Patrick\'s grin widened.

Liam was not happy with this. Knowing that Aaron still hates Aiden means that he is not over Jessica. And having Jessica around means that Aaron will be distracted. How will Aaron go after Sarah with Jessica around?

Liam felt that his plan to punish Sarah is going to fail at this rate.

On the other side, if Madison uses aphrodisiac and sleeps with Aiden… that will hurt Sarah probably more than anything else. He just needs to make sure that Sarah catches them undressed.

Now he felt a better. Yes. He looks forward to the wedding. He will make that bitch suffer for what she did.... She made him pee himself! Twice!
