I knew something was up the minute that Chase and Zoey walked in the door. I was sitting at a table in Sushi Rox, eating my sushi like I always do, when the happy couple came into the restaurant. They had that all-knowing-mischievous-like shine in their beady little eyes.
"Hey Mike," Chase called.
"Why the look?" I decided not to beat around the bush…or the bushy hair…
"What look?" Zoey asked innocently.
"That one on your face," I took a bite out of a California roll. They pulled out chairs and sat down at my table.
"Ohhhh. That look," Chase laughed. "We just…know something you don't."
That was cruel. Now I had to know, and I figured this wasn't going to end well for me.
"What do you know that I don't know?" I asked in monotone, pretending like I couldn't care less.
"Oh, just about a certain two people who are a potential couple but don't know that they are," Zoey answered quickly with a shrug.
"You mean Logan and Quinn?" I asked.
Zoey and Chase rolled their eyes.
"Fun spoiler," Zoey accused.
"So that's right?" I grinned. "I feel all smart."
"Yes, yes. You're a genius," Zoey grinned. "But I bet you can't guess why we're he-"
"Lola decided to play matchmaker and talked you two into helping?" I guessed. By the look on Zoey's face, I knew I was right.
"You're a mind reader," Chase said, crossing his arms.
"No, I just know you all too well," I laughed. "Lemme guess-"
"Please can I just tell you something?" Zoey pleaded, laughing.
"Oh, fine," I mumbled.
"Lola wants you to help us," she said. "But I'm sure you already knew that."
"Yep," I replied immediately. "And I'm in."
Zoey and Chase looked at each other.
"That was easy," Chase remarked.
"Too easy," Zoey narrowed he eyes and turned back to me. "What's the catch?"
I smiled. Catch? There was no…ok, so there was a catch.
"I want to come up with the plan."
"Ooooh," Zoey shook her head in an amused fashion. "You might want to talk to Lola about that one."
"Lola? You think she'll mind?" I frowned.
"Well, she's kinda masterminding this whole thing," Chase raised an eyebrow. "Call her and ask."
I dug my cell phone out of my pocket.
"You know what? I will."
