"It was terrible and they weren’t even that good." Chase tutted bitterly "You can tell your friends that."

"Why would I want to tell my friends about an illegal fight club on the beach?" I remarked confusedly.

Silence filled the space of the bleachers for a few minutes before anyone spoke.

"Come to my party on Friday." The quarterback insisted again.

I opened my mouth to reject him again, but I was cut off before I could.

Lana spoke up while shooting Chase a polite smile "We will be there."

"We will?" I quietly muttered to her.

Chase nodded his head. He then ran off towards the court when he noticed that the teams were switching over.

I watched him leave before I turned to Lana and demanded to know "Why did you say yes to him?"

"It is something we can both do together." She revealed while twiddling her finger in her hair "I don't want you to feel left out because the two guys are sitting with us now. I want you to know that I am not abandoning you for Brennan."

"We could do something that is not Chase's party." I told her before shuddering at the memories of the last one party went to "They always end up in ruckus. Last time, a guy drank ten shots of straight vodka and spewed it all over Chase's neighbour's cat."

Lana scrunched up her face in disgust.

"There is still traces of it its fur." I added to point out how horrible his parties are.

She shook her head before encouraging "Come on. It will be fun."

"Fine." I gave in with a sigh "We will go."

The whistle went off and the two new teams on the court started playing.

One team was made up of Chase and his football friends. The other team was made up of Brennan and Stone.

I leaned forward in my seat and watched as the other players watched the giant with a look of fear on their faces.

There was something about the way Stone moved around the court. It was fast yet deliberate. The movements were strong. He dominated the area around him, and he radiated authority among the players.

Nobody dared themselves to go near the large muscular man.

"Who knew basketball shorts could look so good on a guy?" Lana uttered as she watched Stone reach up and place the ball in the hoop for the sixth time in a minute.

My head snapped to her as soon as she said the words.

"I thought you liked Brennan." I pointed out.

"I do." Lana confirmed as she sent me a weird look.

Something built up at the bottom of my stomach, but I managed to force out a laugh and a few words "I'm sure it is not too late to change your affection towards his friend instead."

The players moved back into the starting position as the whistle blew again.
