During period one, two and a bit of four, she had me explain what had happened after my revelation at the mall. Once I had finished telling her everything except the intimate details, she hit me with a load of I-told-you-so's and a few more comment about my obliviousness.

Despite that, the blonde helpless romantic squealed "So are you two finally officially together?"

The giant answered for me and spoke one strong syllable "Yes."

It was unusual to see Brennan quiet. He had not said more than five words since the start of lunch. All he did was look around the lunchroom for something or someone.

The relationship between Lana and Brennan was not doing so well. I had asked Lana about it a dozen times, but she just changed the subject.

Brennan seemed to shake off what he was thinking because he gained back his smile as he turned to my best friend and said, “It looks like I owe you ten dollars, Lovely Lana."

Lana did not meet his eye, but she did reply "Yeah. It does."

Pointing at them accusingly, I questioned a with sharp tone "Did you have a bet about when Stone and I would get together?"

"Of course, we did." Brennan responded with a smirk "Lana was the closest with two months. I said three weeks and I was so sure of it. I lost thanks to you, Ella."

"I know my best friend and her stubbornness." She explained with a smile.

I sent a glare their way before turning to Stone and asking, "Can you believe they had a bet about us?"

He stayed quiet with a small smile on his lips and no trace of surprise about what had just been said.

"You do not look shocked." I voiced before going on to put my hands on my hips and asserting "Why are you not shocked about this?"

Stone leaned closer until he was grazing my ear with his mouth. He did not seem to care that we had company or that we were in a public place.

I was frozen still at the contact and as much as I wanted to move my head to the side and see his face, I did not. I wanted to hear what he had to say.

"I lost the bet." He said with no elaboration as he nibbled my earlobe softly.

At his words, I turned my head and raised my brow "You were involved in this little bet too?"

"A week is what I had my money on." Stone answered before adding "That is what I hoped for anyway, but my girl happens to be very strong willed."

My face began to heat up as I was lost for words. I blinked while I was still trying to process what he was telling me.

"Ha-Ha. You lost." I retorted tauntingly while smiling up at him "Maybe you just need to work on your flirting."
