“Nope,” Jade said. “And I was talking to Chloe. She is fully aware of what you guys are doing and has said she has no intention of being played. She said she even told you both she isn’t interested in being set up.”
“No one is ever interested, but that doesn’t mean they don’t fall for it,” he said.
Jade shrugged. “Well, then you better get ready for some hard work this time if you think you can pull this off.”
Ryder and Jade moved off and Grant was left standing there off to the side of the party with his brother. “Do you think they are right?” he asked Garrett.
“Who the hell knows? Maybe we are spread too thin.”
“Don’t let them get in your head,” Grant said. “We’ve got this covered.”
“That’s right,” Garrett said. “Let’s stay positive.”
“It’s the only way to make it work,” he said, slapping his brother on the back.

Ready To Let Loose
“You’re not even going to go talk to Royce?” Megan said to her.
“I did when he got here,” Chloe argued. “Why?”
“Oh,” Megan said. “I didn’t see it.”
She held her sigh back. This was much harder than she thought it was going to be.
She was here a full three hours before Royce showed up and it was getting close to midnight and all she’d done was talk to him twice. Once when he showed up so that he knew she saw him and then another time they actually bumped into each other in the hallway returning from the bathroom.
Once she knew no one was around, she pulled him to another part of the building where they couldn’t be seen, asked him for an update since she’d seen multiple Fierce family members talking to him and then she filled him in on what was going on on her end.
They both laughed and he leaned down to give her a quick kiss before they parted ways checking to see if they were still on for tonight.
No way she was backing out when she’d been thinking about this for days.
Her body was ready to let loose when she stood next to him hours ago and it was extremely hard to keep it in.
Then when Jade approached her and started to make jokes about Royce looking at her, she flushed but did catch his eye for a brief second until he glanced away.
“I didn’t know so many people were going to be watching me,” she said. “It’s not like he and I had plans or anything to be here together.”
“True,” Megan said.
“How about you and Jonah? You’d think that they’d be watching the two of you. Why are you here with me and not talking to your boyfriend?”
Megan sighed. “He went to get another drink.”
“Everything okay?” she asked.
“Yeah,” Megan said. “It’s fine. Enough about me, I wanted to see about you, but it looks as if there isn’t much to report.”
“Nope,” she said. “Sorry.” There was part of her that felt bad she was lying, but was she really? There wasn’t much to report. They’d had no action yet.
“Win some and lose some,” Megan said. “I think you should at least consider it an option though. They aren’t always wrong.”
“So noted,” she said, taking a sip of her soda.
Jonah came back over with his drink and she noticed that he seemed off but kept it to herself. Didn’t look to her as if it was all sunshine and roses with that latest match but not her problem today. Megan would tell her more if there was something to say.
