"So, Candice, do you think Vince would let me switch guardians if I really wanted to?" I asked, wanting her to volunteer to be my new one.
She sighed, looking up from her bag and unpacked gear. "Doubt it. He would've let you that first day if he would now. You'd have to have a reason and it'd need to be a good one."
"Like John coming onto me?" I asked with enough curiosity in my voice high enough to make her believe that I was just wondering, I thought.
"Did he?" She asked, concerned at the unforeseen turn of events.
"No, of course not, you know I just don't like him: trying to find some way out of this." I assured her, looking down at my watch realizing it was about time to go and exited the women's locker room with a quick hug.
"Well, look at what the cat dragged in…" I heard a very country voice say from behind me.
"Hey, Jeff." I greeted without turning. The North Carolina native now walked beside me, smiling sheepishly down at me. "What?"
"Me and Matt were wondering if you'd like to accompany us for dinner. Seeing as how you're a new Southerner and all."
"I don't know, Jeff, John probably wouldn't like the idea."
"Please, I don't wanna be left alone with my brother and Ashley again. It's just me watching them make out until I've decided I've drank enough and I leave. At least this way I'll have someone to talk to."
"Well, when you put it like that… no." I said, shaking my head as we reached John's locker room.
Jeff got to his knees grabbing my hands in his. "Please, oh please. I'll do anything to repay you, just don't leave me alone with them."
I smiled, seeing a slight glimpse of opportunity knocking. "Okay, fine, since you begged so nicely."
"Give me a minute." I walked into John's locker room. "John?" I walked further in to see John toweling off from a shower. "Um, hey, listen I'm going to go out with Jeff and Matt and Ashley. Apparently Jeff doesn't want to be around the ooey gooey love all by his lonesome. Be back late okay, so don't wait up."
"I won't, considering your curfew is before I go to sleep I won't have to."
"And considering the fact that you came on to me I won't be using that curfew anymore. See you in the morning." I left before he could argue any further.
"Let's go Hardy." I said and Jeff took my arm, happily.
"So how exactly are you expecting me to repay you for this evening? That is, if you don't mind me asking so."
I smiled, locking my arm in his and standing on the tip of my toes to whisper in his ear. At first he seemed, shocked, kinda confused, and then he smiled.
"Well, if that's what you want. I guess I can swing that. I mean, it is such an inconvenience though." He laughed, knocking on the dressing room door to get his brother and Ashley to appear, dressed and ready to go.
