Lana came back with a tray full of food for everyone. She sat down but instead of eating the food, she started eating at Brennan's face.

I froze where I sat, not knowing what to do with myself.

Their kissing looked almost awkward and sloppy, so I tried to look anywhere else but them.

I hoped that I did not look like that when I kissed guys.

Brennan and Lana finally pulled apart and I almost let out a sigh of relief.

"You have put me off my lunch." I mentioned to the two opposite me "I might have to go out and find a boyfriend just so I can make out with him and put you off your lunch."

The deep rumbling that sounded like the mix of a hungry tiger and a fire breathing dragon sounded from beside me.

Lana laughed before encouraging me "You should go out and get a guy, Ella"

"That is not a good idea." Brennan quickly disapproved of the idea "Stone will snap the poor guy's neck."

I turned to the quiet one next to me. His face did look murderous, and he did appear capable of snapping someone's neck.

"Do not worry, Lurch. We can find you someone, so you are not a fifth wheel." I smiled sweetly up at him as I delivered gently "It might take us a while to find a willing person though. Especially with that sourpuss face of yours."

His eyes darkened as he grumbled out "It is not fucking happening."

"I was just kidding. About me getting a guy, that is." I cleared up before pointing to myself "I'm a pretty cool person all by myself."

Stone seemed to have relaxed when he said, "Whatever floats your boat, seaweed head."

"A-ha. You have used that insult before."

"When?" He grunted, not believing me.

"Last week." I told him before grinning "So take that, Mad Max."

"Mad Max?" He repeated, his attention on my smile as it grew.

"He wears a leather jacket too." I mentioned as I motioned to his jacket "Talking about your jacket, do you ever take it off?"

He cocked his head and his dark eyes remained on my smile.

"I'm starting to think you bathe with it on."

"Only one way to find out, Medusa." He rasped out while leaning close so that his words tickled my neck.

An image of him drowning me if I was ever in the same bathroom as him came to mind.

His mouth rose half an inch. His hint of a smile only lasted a second though because it quickly turned to a sneer when he noticed something behind me.

A person who I had not spoken to since the party was standing at the side of the table.

Chase was only looking at me when he spoke "Can I speak to you?"

"What else is there to say?" I replied to him, keeping my tone neutral.

"Come on, Ella."
