I push my way through and the room opens up into the living area where the sounds of grunts and laughs echo throughout the house. I walk forward and lean on the back of the couch, watching the screen as Jackson absolutely gets annihilated by Jesse on the PlayStation.

I curl my arm around Jesse as he continues watching the screen, not prepared to take his eyes off it for even one second. “I thought you’d be here,” I tell him, pulling him into me and giving him a tight squeeze.

My hair falls down in front of his face and he ducks down, trying to see around it as Jackson laughs. “How’d you know I was here?” Jesse grunts, getting Jackson back for whatever it is he did to him.

“Because you’re always here now,” I laugh, releasing him so he can play his game properly. “I swear, ever since that whole baby project thing, you two have started a little bromance.”

“Have not,” Jackson grunts in denial.

“Yeah, you have,” Kaylah scoffs from the other side of the room. I look up and give her a beaming smile, feeling a tad guilty. I didn’t even realize she was here.

Jesse rolls his eyes. “So, what if we have?” he questions. “You jealous you’re not my BFF anymore?”

I grin down at the little turd, knowing he’s only saying that to get under my skin after I kicked him out of my place the other day. “I’m so not jealous about this,” I laugh, waving my hand between the two. “More like relieved, you two can annoy each other rather than annoying me. It’s perfect. Besides, I think it’s sweet that you guys put aside your differences to wipe each other’s asses now.”

Jesse hits pause on the game and the boys give each other a sideways glance.

My stomach drops. You’d think I would have learned not to tease these boys by now. Teasing them individually is risky, but teasing them as a team… I’m fucked.

I go to make a run for it, but Jesse is too quick. His arm snaps out and before I know it, he’s hauling me over the side of the couch.

I squeal out but their laughs completely drown out my cry for help. I search out Kaylah to watch her sitting back with a wicked grin. “Do you know how good this is that it’s you and not me for a change?”

I can imagine, but I don’t have a chance to tell her as Jesse’s fat ass squishes down on me. Jackson gets comfortable too and I find myself used as a seat with Jesse sitting on my back and Jackson sitting on my legs, completely holding me down with their big bodies as they laugh and chuckle between themselves. “Let me go,” I demand with my face squished into the couch that is probably covered in all sorts of shit.

Jesse grunts. “Do you hear something?”

Jackson pretends to listen out as I call them every disgraceful name under the sun. “Not me. I don’t hear a thing,” he says as they pick up their PlayStation remotes and continue their game.

“You big, fat, turds. Let me up.”

“You know,” Jesse muses. “I’ve been holding on to this massive fart all afternoon, and I think it’s about time I let it free.”

My eyes widen in pure panic. “I swear to God, Jess, if you fart on me right now, I’m going to punch you in the balls.”

“You’d have to catch me first.”

I start wriggling around and squirming, desperately trying to get myself free. I kick the part of my legs that can actually move and manage to hit Jackson in the arm. “Let me go. Let me go. Let me go,” I start repeating it over and over again until the boys move, purely for the fact that I’m being too annoying for their hangovers.

“What the hell is all this noise?” a familiar voice asks, walking down the stairs.

I look over the back of the couch to find Lukas walking down with Brooke right behind him, their hands held between them. My eyebrows pull down when I remember that at least five of the guys from the team live here. I shouldn’t be so surprised to see him.

Lukas’ eyes lock on mine and a smirk instantly lifts his lips. Jesse tenses beside me and I latch onto his forearm, holding him in place. ”Cool your jets,” I murmur for only him to hear.

He grunts beside me and I watch as Brooke blatantly ignores me and walks to the front door. Lukas kisses her and sends her on her way before walking back in and heading to the kitchen. “Wow,” I grunt to the boys. “Funny how just one person can just suck all the fun out of a room.”

Jesse laughs as Jackson remains quiet. I know Jackson thinks the guy is a douche and seriously wants to beat the shit out of him for what he did to me, but he’s also on a team with the guy and is doing his best to be Switzerland.
