“Great.” I fake excitement.
Miles puts his hand on my neck and squeezes, detouring us away from the others toward the curling lanes. “Get a grip, Cooper. We’re here for fun, and if you sour this for all of us, I’m going to punch you in the face.”
“And get suspended? That would be irresponsible.”
He rolls his eyes before he walks over to Bryce, smacking her on the ass. She squeals, and he wraps her arms around him.
I sit on the bench as Damon introduces us to the cute couple waiting there, Kit and Kevin. Apparently, they’re newly married. They both have blond hair and blue eyes and look oddly alike.
“We have to split up, and we cannot give that happy couple Elle and Coop,” Bryce says, looking at me and Ellery, who is on the opposite side of the bench and sucking the last drop of her drink through her straw.
“Not on call tonight?” I ask.
“Nope.” She goes back to sucking.
“You’re going to blow a blood vessel, get another drink.”
She scowls at me. “I will when I’m ready.” She picks up the straw and moves it around the ice.
“Seriously, want me to buy one for you?”
“Maybe I don’t want another one?”
“Whatever,” I mumble. All of our friends are staring at us when I look up. “What?”
They shake their heads.
“We’ll couple up with Kit and Kevin,” Damon says.
“Hell no, we’re flipping for it,” Bryce says.
“I don’t think they’re flipping, hoping they get us,” I say to Ellery, who shrugs.
“I wouldn’t want to be on your team anyway,” she says to me.
What the hell? That hurts more than it probably should.
They flip a coin, and Miles and Bryce end up on Kit and Kevin’s team.
“We’re trading if they don’t snap out of it,” Damon says to Miles.
“Are you guys…” Kevin gets his broom. “Football players?”
I sigh.
The woman points at me. “You’re Cooper Rice, right?”
A sound comes from Ellery, and I turn to her. “What?”
“Just not surprising that she knows you, Mister Endorsement.”
I arch an eyebrow at her. “Meaning?”
“Ever heard of the word no? You wonder why you’re everywhere? You put yourself there.”
“Fucking hell,” Damon grumbles and looks at Kit and Kevin. “Excuse the bickering duo over there.”
“Is it because of the video?” Kit asks in an unsure voice.
