Hey. You guys looked good out there tonight
Marcus
Did we?
Stop it. You know you looked good
I know. But I like hearing you say it
What else do you like hearing me say
I can think of one or two things
Are you alone?
No >
Poor baby
Please feel bad for me
I have to keep these guys in line
Too bad. I was hoping you could call
Fuck.Now I’m wondering if I can get out of this. But Bode calls my bluff the minute we’re back at the hotel.
“You can’t back out now. We need you for even pairs to match up.”
“You only have two controllers,” I point out.
“Round robin style. Each group plays another and then the victor from each will play each other.”
“You realize you’re missing one group, right?” Jasper tells him.
“Nah. I think you and Cap need to battle it out to see who will play the other team. That’s only fair.”
Pressing the up button for the elevator, I give Bode a look. “How is that fair?”
“You’re the Captain. You have an unfair advantage.”
“In video games?” When the doors open, I step inside and press the button to the fifth floor. “How do I have an advantage?”
“Dunno, you just do.”
Bode ends his argument in a way only he can. I shake my head at him when the elevator dings on my floor. “I’m going to change and check on the girls. Meet up with you in a few.”
“No backing out!” is the last thing that’s shouted at me as the doors close. One of the perks of being the captain is I get my own room on the road.
Thank fuck.
Because the last thing I want to do is chat with one of the guys. Not that I don’t love my team, but after a win like tonight’s, I need silence in order to decompress.
Marcus
How were the girls tonight?
