Here is the next chapter of The Player's Game. I know you've been waiting for it. Thanks for all the reviews.
Drew entered the house with Stephanie following carrying her many shopping bags.
"Mom, why you asked me to take her shoe shopping I didn't except to be out for almost 3 hours?!"
"Well I couldn't go to school without new shoes." Stephanie said defending herself. "School does start soon."
"Well you didn't have to buy every shoe in all the stores."
"Drew you bought her more shoes! I said no more than 5 shoes. She's already as spoiled as she needs to be."
"She has 15 pairs of shoes."
"Drew!!!"
"She said you let her have 14. If I wouldn't have bought her another, we would have never left the store."
"Stephanie you have some explaining to do." Drew and their mother glared at Stephanie.
"Well you see about that-"
"Hello, family." Drew's dad walks in from the front door and seen their faces. "What's going on?"
"Stephanie is about to explain why she lied to Drew about buying her 15 pairs of shoes."
"15 pairs of shoes? Don't worry I'll pay you back for the shoes, Drew."
"That still doesn't dismissed the fact that she lied."
Her father looked her straight in the eye. "Stephanie, it's not good to lie to your older brother and your mother. Your brother was nice enough to take you shopping yesterday and today, even though he didn't have to. Especially since he got home late from his date. That I still never heard about." He looked at Drew.
"She's the one you're talking to. Not me."
"I think you should thank Drew and your mother."
"Okay." She went to Drew and hugged him. "Thank you. "
"You're welcome, little sis." Then she went to her mother and hugged her too.
"I'm sorry mommy. I shouldn't have lied. I love you."
"Apology accepted. Just don't do it again, ok."
"Ok." Stephanie smiled and took her stuff upstairs to her room.
"She gets away with everything. How do you guys deal with her?"
"We should be saying the same thing about you. You got away with everything."
"Not as much as you think so."
"So how the date last night?"
"It must have gone well because you never came home last night."
"I told you that we feel asleep on beach. When we woke up, we kissed I took her out to breakfast."
"Sure you did." His dad blinked at him. "I understand. You don't want to say anything in front of your mother."
"I'm telling you the truth. Oh can we move up Friday's game night up?"
"We'll see."
"Why?"
"I'm invited to a house warming party. I'm going to meet May's friends."
"Meeting the friends already. Wow. You've already kissed her and she taking you to meet her friends. Wow! I say you should be planning the wedding."
"Ha ha ha. Very funny. I'm going to call May for the details." He ran upstairs into the room he was staying with while he was in Petalburgh.
"I bet he's going to ask her to be his girlfriend by the end of the month." His dad said.
"No, dear. I give it no more than two weeks."
"You got yourself a bet."
It was Friday night: Game night in the LaRue place. Everyone came earlier as requested by Drew but things didn't quite go as planned. The game they played was monopoly. "Urgh."
"Well… I think I want to trade. NO. I think I'm just going to roll."
"Stephanie, can you please roll?"
"Okay." Stephanie rolled. Two sixes landed on the board. "Let me see. Six plus six is…" She started counting on her fingers.
"Mother, she's doing this on purpose."
"How do you know?"
"She's in an advanced math class. She should know what six plus six is."
"My little girl can take as long as she wants." Her dad patted her head.
"It's nice to have a little support because people forget sometimes."
"I don't know many people who forget how to add."
"Drew. Stephanie. Stop bickering and get your act together." Drew's father said. "Drew get ready for your date and Stephanie since you can't remember your addition then maybe we should put practice."
"We don't have to do that." Drew stuck out his tongue.
"Go, Drew, Before I change my mind."
"Yes, sir." Drew said and immediately went upstairs into his room to change.
"Now, Stephanie about that addition. One plus one is…"
"Oh don't make me do this. Mom."
"Listen to your father."
"Two."
"Two plus two is…"
"Four. Can I please go now?"
"If you can answer what six plus six is."
"Twelve."
"You can go." She immediately ran upstairs. "Stephanie."
"Yes, daddy." Stephanie said sweetly.
"Don't slow, Drew down. He's trying not to be late for his date."
"I know."
"Do you really think she's going to leave him alone?"
"No."
"MOM!!!"
"Ugh!!!"
"Stephanie, give me back my keys!!!"
"Give him back his keys!"
"You heard dad. Give me back my keys, you loser."
"Drew, don't call your sister a loser." He came out soon with her clothes on.
"I call 'em like I see 'em, dad. How do I look mom?"
"You look great, son. She'll love it."
"When do we get to meet this girl, Drew?"
"Soon… Goodbye."
"Have fun." The door closed. Drew drove away in his car.
"May, Drew's here."
"Okay. I'll be right down." She smiled down at her look. Remembering to grab her present from her and Drew she bought, she walked out her room and walked down stairs to a click. "Daddy!!!"
'That stupid camera.' May faked another smile.
"Eww, May. You actually look like a girl." Max said and ran.
"I'm not sure I should be hitting him or thanking him." Click. "Daddy!!!"
"Just one picture."
"I'm sorry about this, Drew." She whispered.
"That's okay." Drew smiled and May blushed. May's father took a picture of them together.
"Okay dad. We're going to be late."
"Okay. Bye. Have fun you two."
Drew opened the door for her as she walked out.
"Thank you. Wow. I didn't know you had an escalade. It's awesome."
"Thanks." He opened the door for her and sat. Then he drove off.
"I bought a present."
"You know you didn't have."
"I just did it anyways. No worries. Now he has two."
May nodded her head and started tapping her fingers as he drove. He watched her straighten her dress and mess around with her fingers. "Umm… Are you okay?"
"Yeah… I'm fine."
"Is this it?"
"Yep." May said. Drew parked in the driveway and opened May's door. May got out and she closed her door. Drew locked the door and they walked up to door.
"Nervous?" Drew asked her.
"Yea a little."
"Scared they won't like me?"
"No. They don't not like anybody. I'm just scared Ash's is going to embarrass the hell out of me." Drew laughed a little.
"What?"
"Nothing… I doubt he would do that." May ad Drew stood and the door and she rang the door bell.
"You don't know my friends." Misty opened the door.
"Hello. You finally came." Misty let them in.
"Drew this is Misty. You probably remember her from the mall."
"Yea… hi."
"I'll take these upstairs." Misty said leaving them. May closed the door behind her and Drew.
"May," she heard someone call. She sighed then turned around smiling.
"Ash."
"What a surprise! It's great to see you and your boyfriend."
"Very funny, Ash." May stuck out her tongue at him. She grabbed Drew's hand and lead him to where Ash was. "Everyone, this is Drew. Drew this is Ash, Dawn, her boyfriend, Paul."
"Hi."
"You're the one from the mall right."
"Yeah. I'm surprised you remember."
"Hello."
"Hey. So you are the guy, May called sexy in her diary," Ash said.
May turned into a hundred shades of pink. "You called me sexy?" Drew asked.
"Ash, You better run because you are so dead!!!" Ash ran around the room with May close behind. Everyone laughed.
"Don't kill me." Ash said. He ran past everyone with May lose behind. Misty came downstairs and Ash ran past Misty with May close behind.
"Hey… what happened?"
"Did you tell Ash what I wrote in my diary?"
"No." Misty said.
"I just guessed. I didn't even know you still had a diary."
"You are so dead."
"You guys are acting five years old." Misty said.
"Well Misty I think you are forgetting Ash's real age." May tripped and fell.
"That's what you get." May stuck out her tongue and Drew helped her stand.
"Thank you." May said. "At least somebody here is nice."
"Come on, May." They all pulled her into the kitchen.
"Excuse us, Drew," Dawn said.
"Oh, wait. Ash, This is for you." He was given a card.
"This isn't going to blow up, is it?"
"No. The store didn't have any more cards that blew up. Sorry." Ash opened the card and immediately started to blush at what he saw. "Now, Ash, I don't want to see those opened or I'll know something went on." May smirked.
"Misty, this is from May. It's for you." Misty looked at it and went red.
"I think she gave them to you." Misty said before pulling May into the kitchen with the other girls.
"Oh my god, May. You didn't tell me your date was cute." Maria said.
"He's not cute."
"Bri's right. He's sexy." Melody smirked.
"I can see that." May said.
"So where'd you meet?" Zoey asked.
"In the mall." Misty answered before May could open her mouth.
"He asked her out." Dawn said.
"I need to go to the mall more often."
"I mean that was luck."
"Just think, she was about to say no."
"But me and Dawn had to force her to say yes."
"I mean she hasn't been on a date for as long as I remember."
"Shut up, Dawn."
"Well it's true."
"Hey, May. Just remember that if you don't want Mr. Perfect then I am perfectly willing to take him away from you."
"Yeah me too."
May stood by the doorway as the girls continued talking about Drew and May's luck in finding a guy like him. She looked back at the guys to see Drew. Drew looked at her and smiled. She blushed and looked away. The other girls awed when they seen her blush.
The night was over and May and Drew were about the leave. "Unfortunately I got tired of you guys, mainly Ash. I didn't have fun. I don't think I'll ever come back again. Goodbye everyone"
"Thanks. Oh is that a promise?"
"Yup. I love you." May joked.
"I hate you too. See ya, Drew. Come back any time just leave her." May stuck out her tongue and Ash did too. Then May walked to the door hand-in-hand.
"Ok. Bye." They were about to walk out the door as he watched the others play their video game. Misty sat on his lap and whispered in his ear. Then Misty giggled. "Okay. Everyone get the hell out."
"Hey!" May laughed.
"Ash. Misty. Just because I gave them to you doesn't mean you have to use them." May laughed and closed the door before a pillow hit her face that was thrown by Misty.
"That was fun." Drew said.
"Yes. It was."
"So really think I'm sexy, huh?" May blushed.
"Well… about that…" Drew opened the door and got in on his side. Drew looked at her smiling. She just blushed and looked at him. He was leaning in to kiss her. But then… BEEP BEEP BEEP.
In front of them a car was trying to pull out the driveway. "Alright. Alright."
Drew backed out of the driveway to let the others pull out.
'This sucks. I have to remind myself to actually kill Ash next time.' May thought.
This is the end. Sorry. It's been a long time: a very long time. I decided to just update cause I miss updating.
