Colby-
I showered and got dressed. Ryan watched me from the couch.
"Ready?", I asked him.
"Dude, I've been ready. You're the one going crazy changing outfits and shit", he said.
"I only changed once", I said.
He raised a brow.
"Fine, I changed three times", I said.
He laughed. He got up and we went downstairs to wait in the lobby. I stood as soon as I saw her.
"Hey, you came", I said.
"This is the only way to get you to leave me alone", she said.
"Hi", I said to her sister.
She sent me a nod and Ryan cleared his throat.
"Oh right, Ryan this is Cora and Christina. Girls, this is my friend Ryan", I said.
They shook hands with him.
"We were thinking bowling, its right down the street so we could walk", I said.
"Fine", Cora said.
Cora started walking, Chris gestured for me to catch up. I did.
"So do you like bowling?", I asked.
"Yeah", she replied.
"Me too", I nodded.
She nodded. Ryan was in conversation with Christina.
"Any good at it?", I asked.
"Good enough to kick your ass", she said.
"Oh so its gonna be one of those huh? I bet, if Ryan and I win you have to pay for dinner", I said.
"And if my sister and I win?", she asked.
"That's not happening", I said.
She chuckled.
"If my sister and I win, you have to pay for dinner and leave me alone", she said.
"Deal", I shook her hand.
"Deal? What deal?", her sister asked.
"We made a bet, losers pay for dinner", I said.
Chris pulled Cora aside.
"I'm not that good Cora", she said.
I smirked.
"Backing out ladies? Its okay, we knew you couldn't keep up with us", I said.
"Save yourselves from embarrassment", Ryan said.
We laughed.
"Oh, it's on", Cora said.
They walked in and we followed. We let them go first, both getting strikes.
"Oh you know, I forgot to mention we use to have family bowling nights on Sundays", Cora said shrugging.
"You're up boys", Chris smirked.
"You go first man", I whispered to Ryan.
"No you", he whispered back.
"Boys boys, we understand if you want to back out now. I mean, we get it you don't want to lose to two girls", Cora said.
They laughed. I stood and grabbed a ball.
Cora-
Chris and I had beaten Colby and Ryan.
"So dinner's on you guys", I said.
Colby didn't look too happy. He looked at me sadly.
"Yeah", he said softly.
"Pizza right?", Ryan asked.
I nodded. Ryan and Chris walked outside. Colby stood.
"I thought we were having fun?", I asked.
"Yeah, we are", he gave me a fake smile.
He was about to leave and I grabbed his arm to stop him.
"Whats up?", I asked.
"Don't you remember the rest of your demands if you won?", he asked.
"Yeah, dinner and you leave me alone", I said.
"No, I lose you", he said sadly.
He walked out. I sighed and followed.
"So Ryan found a pizza place on the next block", Chris said.
Colby nodded and pushed his hands in his pockets. Ryan and Chris walked ahead. I bit my lip before linking my arm with Colby. He looked up surprised and then smiled down at me.
"Still not a date", I said.
"Whatever you say sweetheart", he smirked.
"About the rest of the bet, can we just void that part?", I said.
"You mean you still want me around?", he asked.
"You're gonna make me say it", I said.
He stopped.
"Fine, yes I want you around", I rolled my eyes.
"Because you're in love with me", he said.
"Don't push it", I said, poking him in his chest.
"Oh you will fall in love with me, you're my lobster", he said.
I laughed.
"What?", I asked.
"Haven't you seen Friends? Ross and Rachel?", he asked.
"I've seen that episode", I nodded.
"Okay then you're my lobster, my beautiful lobster", he said smiling.
"Now I want lobster", I said, while playfully pushing him.
He laughed.
"That's our second date then", he said.
"I told you this wasn't a date", I said.
"I know, its our not a date date", he said.
I shook my head and he smiled.
"So am I your first boyfriend?", he asked.
"You're not my boyfriend", I said.
"Right according to your sister, I'm your husband", he said.
I groaned. He chuckled.
"I don't mind, I have a beautiful wife", he said.
"Such a sweet talker", I said.
"I can go all night", he winked.
"Good to know", I blushed.
Getting to the pizza place. They ordered two large pepperoni and ham.
"I'm glad you're not picky when it comes to food", he said.
"Well growing up with this skinny bitch, who doesn't seem to gain weight no matter what she eats", I said, pointing to Chris.
Chris laughed.
"Cora's my food partner in crime", she said.
"I'm just glad you ladies didn't order just a salad", Ryan said.
"Me too", Colby said.
His hand was now resting on my thigh and every now and then I would feel his hand squeeze my thigh. He shifted in his seat. Chris and Ryan were in conversation.
"Well I'm gonna head back. I'm really tired and I want to spend a little more time with my brothers before we leave tomorrow night", Chris said.
"I'll walk you", Ryan said.
I was about to stand.
"Stay Cora, enjoy yourself", Chris said winking.
Ryan nodded.
"Bye", Chris waved.
I couldn't believe she just left me. Colby smiled.
"Why do I feel like they planned this?", Colby asked.
"Because they did", I said annoyed.
"Well I don't mind, lets walk around", he suggested.
He pulled me up and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Why are you denying what you're feeling?", he asked.
His lips close to mine.
