"That thing where you look like you want to fight someone." He smirks.

"I don't want to fight anyone," I tell him.

"Could've fooled me."

I take another swing, and this one lands closer to the center, not perfect, but better.

Lincoln studies me for a second, then shrugs. "It’s not got to do with that girl you took home?”

I give him a look.

“Are you upset about her? Did she not suck your dick or something?”

“Fuck you,” I warn him.

This makes him laugh. “You're on holiday, forget about her and live a little."

I roll my eyes again. "I live."

Lincoln glares at me. "You taking home that girl last night was the most fun I've seen you have in a long time."

I flip him off. "Where are we going again?" I ask. Changing the subject.

"Monaco. I've got a mate with a yacht. Figured we'd spend a few days there. Hit up some clubs. Enjoy the sun. Meet some beautiful women."

"Sounds good." I try to muster some enthusiasm.

"You sure you're up for it? Because if you're going to be moody the whole time ...." He raises a brow at me.

"I'm not moody," I argue. I am moody.

He laughs. "Right. And I'm not the best-looking footballer in the Premier League."

"You're definitely not."

"Fuck off."

I almost smile. Almost.

Lincoln lines up another shot. "So. The girl from last night?"

I ignore him.

“You’re not going to talk about her?”

“No.” This earns me some grumbles. "What about you? Did you meet anyone last night?"

He chuckles. "Did I meet anyone? Didn't you see me flirting with Polly? She was friends with the girl you hooked up with."

This has my attention. "Did you get her number?" I ask him.

"Who?"

"Penny? Polly? Whatever her name was."

"No."

Fuck. "No?"
