The Owner's Box

Chapter 12

Harlow

Saint and I eventually make it back out to where Rai and Peyton are. We find them arguing at a table near the arcade games.

"Ok, and I don't want to be on your damn team. You play too much," Peyton says, rolling her eyes at Rai.

"What are y'all going on about?" I ask as Saint and I sit across from them.

"Your lil friend is trying to be too friendly," Peyton responds, popping her lips.

"No, I just asked her out, that's it. But she's trying to play me," Rai says confidently, biting her lip at Peyton.

"Yeah, whatever. So what's the plan? Are we leaving or are we hanging, babe?" Peyton directs her attention to Saint.

Saint looks up at me, squinting a little as if she's thinking really hard. Then, she looks at Peyton and says, "Let's hang out for a bit."

"Alright, I have an idea," Rai immediately speaks up. "Let's split into two teams, and by the end of the night, whichever team gets the most points wins."

"Hell yeah. Alright. Deal," was echoed between us, everyone agreeing.

"How do we choose—" Before I could finish, Rai speaks over me "I'm with Peyton." Rai says smiling widely. Peyton looks at Rai with a stank face before rolling her eyes.

"If you keep rolling your eyes at me they are going to get stuck. At least let me give you something good to roll your eyes for." Rai tells Peyton. "Yea whatever." Peyton rolls her eyes again.

After the teams were created, we played arcade games before making our way over to one of the private bowling lanes. Although Peyton and Rai fought the entire time throughout the night, Saint and I were still down by 5 points in the competition.

"Ok, last game. The team that wins gets 20 points," Rai states.

Saint and Peyton needed to go to the restroom before the game got started, so that gave me enough time to check Rai. I noticed the look on Rai's face when I introduced her to Saint. I had hoped that Saint hadn't noticed it, but she did, and of course, she felt uncomfortable.

"Bruh, what the fuck?" I asked Rai, who raised her brow at me. "What look? I don't know what you're talking about," Rai replied, leaning back in her chair and chuckling a little.

"Why did you look at Saint like that when I introduced you?" I asked again.

"So this is why you didn't want to tell me who has your attention lately. A fucking stud? Saint? What happened to the fem Isabella? She got a twin or something?" Rai asked, raising her eyebrow at me while still chuckling.

"Bro listen—." I started but Rai cut me off looking serious, "No, you listen. You ever thought about fucking me? You know we've seen each other naked. You ever thought about fucking up my guts?" Rai wondered looking at me with a serious expression on her face.

I furrowed my brows and tilted my head at her, "Excuse Me?"

"You heard me. You ever thought about rearranging my guts? Or maybe me rearranging yours?" Rai asked leaning forward.

I was about to respond, but then Rai burst out laughing, and I just stare at her because what the fuck.

"I'm joking Harlow damn." Rai continues laughing. "It's about time you try something different and that Saint.. is most definitely different!"

Just then the waitress comes over and we order a round of drinks for the table along with my favorite bottle of whiskey.

"Rai I'm serious. Whats the deal with you looking at her like that?" I asked.
