Stone was strangely interested too because he had leaned forward infinitesimally.

"We should go out again some time." Lana suggested to the guy across from her "Maybe next time I will get a full candy apple."

I liked Brennan but I was going to keep an eye on him. He was too smooth for my liking. I had to make sure he had no intention of hurting my best friend.

The other male at the table was not going to be a problem. I doubted he would be seducing anyone any time soon with his petrifying scowl and his hatred of speaking.

"I like sharing my food with you." Brennan said with a single chuckle "Maybe next time, we should share spaghetti. Like Lady and The Tramp."

"That ends in a kiss though." Lana replied absentmindedly.

"Whatever you wish, lady." Brennan replied, bowing his head slightly.

Lana responded to him before she could think her words through "Okay, tramp."

I cringed with second-hand embarrassment at her reply.

I had to my bite lip to restrain myself from laughing but it was no use. A small light laugh escaped from me and filled the air.

Stone who had his attention focused on anything but me turned his head so quickly at the noise that I thought he was about to snap his neck.

The movement was rapidly quick and almost desperate.

My laughter died out when I met his eye.

"It is a date, Lovely Lana." Brennan delivered to the blonde whose cheeks were bright red before he motioned to me "We might have to leave her at home next time."

"Fine by me. More of your cringey romance might make me barf. It is so bad that I might actually puke on your friend here." I butted into their conversation before meeting the pair of dark eyes and referenced his comment from earlier “You might end up having the same colour hair as me."

Stone chuckled. It was deep and hollow-sounding, and it sent a shiver down my spine.

The man with muscles the size of melons leaned closer. His arms rested against the table as he leaned over slightly.

Even sitting down the ridiculous height difference between us was apparent.

"Are you free for their next day?" The deep voice of the large man rebutted "I heard Disneyland is opening back up and the haunted mansion wants their extras back."

I opened my mouth and closed it again. I repeated the action a good few times.

The giant had delivered a good insult. I could not deny that. Nothing came to mind and I remained quiet.

He had thrown me off-course.

"Haunted Mansion is actually my favourite ride so the joke is on you." I ranted lamely to seem not taken aback by his sudden capability of speaking "I doubt you have ever been to Disneyland. You have probably only gone to Florida to join The Outlaws because there is no way you wear that stupid leather jacket without owning a motorbike."
