Lovely Lana's face had turned a shade of pink when she pressed the question "What are you doing here?"

"I would love to say it was to see you in that dress, but it wasn't my idea to come." Brennan informed her while wrapping his arm around her shoulders "It was Stone's."

My attention went back to the leather jacket-wearing pain in my ass.

"I don't remember you being invited." I remarked, tilting my chin up and facing him.

"I don't remember giving a fuck." Stone grumbled in return.

"So, what do I owe the pleasure of your company?"

He stepped closer and towered over me before demanding to know "What are you doing here is my question?"

"It was Lana's idea." I chose to be honest because expression gave away that he was not in the mood for jokes "I did not want to come."

Stone's wide shoulders visibly relaxed.

Lana spoke up "You can play Mario Kart with him but not go to his party. That doesn't make sense."

The giant shoulders that had just eased up suddenly tensed again as he searched the room with a darkened gaze.

"I was mad too, Lurch. He never let me play as Luigi." I let out a laugh as I mentioned up to him "Green is my colour."

His crazed gaze stopped searching the room when he heard my laugh. His attention quickly ventured back down to me and stayed tethered there.

"Yes." The gravelly voice agreed "It is."

I frowned up at him as I tilted my head. I wondered if I had imagined the words leaving his mouth.

Noticing my confusion, Stone took a step closer and questioned "What is wrong, Medusa?"

"If I stare hard enough at you, I might incinerate you." I rebutted while continuing to keep my chin up and my eyes on him "The chances are low, but I need to try everything in an attempt to get rid of you."

He leant over so he was closer to my face and so that his warm breath tickled the tip of my nose as he chuckled deeply "You are going to have to try harder than that."

Underneath the rough and scary exterior of the mountain of a man, there had to be a soft spot.

I shuffled away from Stone and moved closer to Brennan before asking him "What is Lurch's weakness?"

Brennan smirked right at me as he answered, "I only know of one weakness of his."

Just as I was about to ask what it was, the appearance of a new person approaching the small circle we were standing in stopped me from talking.

The girl's heel clicked against the floor before she came to a stop right next to the giant man. She glanced at the other male in the small circle before she turned her head to Stone.
