The next day, Isa and Kevin were already up and about. After showering and having breakfast together, they settled down in the living room for some playful rivalry. They were playing Call of Duty on the TV, with Kevin's phone propped up on the coffee table to FaceTime Arteaga and Piojo. Today, it was Isa and Piojo against Kevin and Arteaga, and the banter was in full swing.

As they played, Piojo turned his attention to Isa. "Oye, Isa," he began, his voice filled with mock seriousness, "quiero verte en las gradas del Akron cuando juegue para Chivas. ¿Vas a venir o qué?"

Isa grinned, her allegiance to Chivas well-known among her friends. "¡Claro que sí, Piojo! Ahí estaré animándote."

Kevin, who played for América, shot her a playful, offended look. "¿Cómo que sí? ¿Y yo qué, eh? ¿Ya te olvidaste de mí, Isa?" His tone was teasing, but Isa could see the glint of mischief in his eyes.

Isa chuckled, knowing how much Kevin enjoyed teasing her about her loyalty to Chivas. "Ay, Kevin, sabes que mi corazón siempre será de Chivas," she replied with a wink.

The game continued with Piojo and Arteaga frequently cracking jokes and cussing whenever they got killed. "¡Ay, cabrón! ¿Quién me disparó?" Piojo exclaimed, his frustration evident. "Mierda, otra vez me chingaron," Arteaga added, laughing despite the setback.

"Arteaga, eres un pinche noob," Piojo teased, causing Arteaga to groan in mock annoyance.

Piojo laughed as he got taken out, "¡No mames, Arteaga! ¿Cómo te mataron así? ¿Estás jugando con los ojos cerrados?"

Arteaga groaned, "¡Ya, deja de chingar! ¡Te dije que me cubrieras, cabrón!" He said now directing to Kevin, who only shrugged.

Kevin would often glance at Isa, his eyes filled with a flirtatious sparkle. Whenever the others were too busy focusing on their screens, Kevin leaned in close, whispering in Isa's ear. "Hermosa, eres mi debilidad, ¿lo sabes?" His voice was low, making her shiver slightly.

Isa blushed at his words, trying to keep her focus on the game. Kevin smirked, clearly enjoying how easily he could fluster her. "Mi amor," he continued, his tone smooth, "cuando todo esto termine, te prometo que no te dejaré ir tan fácilmente."

Despite Kevin's distracting whispers, Isa remained focused on the game. She saw an opportunity and took it, killing Kevin's character with a quick shot. "¡Hey!" Kevin exclaimed, realizing too late what had happened. Shaking his head playfully, he quickly but carefully pushed Isa to the side, making sure they were out of the frame of the camera. He leaned in and stole a quick kiss off-camera, catching Isa by surprise.

Isa laughed softly, her cheeks flushing a deep red. She playfully pushed him away, trying to hide her smile but failing as she glanced back at the screen. None of the others noticed the brief exchange, too engrossed in the game.

"Isa, dile al wey que tienes a tu lado que se ponga las pilas," Arteaga called out, his voice filled with mock frustration. "Que si no, lo voy a tener que reemplazar yo."

Isa chuckled, her gaze flicking to Kevin, who was now pouting exaggeratedly at Arteaga's comment. "Kevin, ya escuchaste, ¿eh? Ponte las pilas," she teased.

After a moment of intense concentration, Arteaga broke the silence with a curious observation. "Isa, nunca te he oído decir groserías," he said, raising an eyebrow. "¿Qué pasa, eres muy inocente o qué?"

Isa smiled shyly and shrugged. "No es que no sepa decirlas, solo prefiero no hacerlo," she explained.

Piojo, hearing this, couldn't resist adding his own commentary. "Que mala influencia, le estás echando a perder la inocencia," he joked, pretending to scold Arteaga.
