Chapter Five – It's Only Us Now
Harry's POV
Saying I was nervous was an understatement. Never in my life had I played paint ball, let alone with a girl on a date. I managed to keep my nerves to myself and not let Arianna see my timidness. I didn't want her thinking I was a pussy.
I followed her into the building, my eyes roaming the giant arena. She headed towards a door containing a sign that read, 'authorized personnel only.'
“Ari, are you allowed to go in there?” I wasn't sure if she was actually allowed to be in there of if she was just testing me. She smirked, but continued walking in and was greeted by a group of guys who looked to be about the age of twenty.
"Hey, Ari," One of the guys smiled engulfing her into a hug, lifting her petite body into the air.
"Hey there," She laughed, hugging him tightly. Once he placed her back on her feet, his eyes met mine.
"Who's this?" He asked, nodding towards me. I fought back a gulp. This guy was huge and rather scary looking. He was extremely buff and had tattoos decorating every inch of his muscular arms. I had tattoos, but nothing compared to this guy. He seemed close to Arianna, like they were good friends. The thing that scared me was the face that he could pummel me in a second if I said one wrong thing.
Arianna seemed to notice my apprehensiveness, as she came back towards me and intertwined our fingers. It surprised me for a second, but I relaxed a bit having her at my side. I looked down at her with a smile and she squeezed my hand in reassurance.
“None of these guys will hurt you, I promise,” Arianna whispered in my ear so only I could hear her. “Jeff, this is Harry, Harry, Jeff,” She motioned between us. "I thought I'd take him for a round." He stepped forward a rather smug look on his face. He stuck his large hand out, I winced slightly my eyes squeezing shut.
"Ello, mate," He said with a deep chuckle. I peeled my eyes open to see him smiling down at me.
"Hi, Jeff. Nice to meet you," I said sticking my hand out, shaking his. I looked over to Arianna who had an amused look on her face.
"Let's get you both suited up. Have you ever played before, Harry?" Jeff asked, letting go of my hand.
"Uh, no..." I shook my head sheepishly.
"Then this shall be fun," Jeff smirked widely, he turned around and headed over to a row of lockers.
Arianna followed after him and pulled open a locker, she motioned over for me and I slowly crept my way toward her.
"This one is all yours," She said, patting the blue locker next to hers. I pulled the locker open to reveal a bunch of padding and gear. I looked questioningly at it not really knowing what it was or which body part if went on.
"Oh, and you'll probably want this," Arianna said tossing me a cup for my "manhood.”
"For what?" I asked, shocked that she actually touched it. Man, she throws a lot of surprises at me.
"You want to have kids some day right? I wouldn't want to be the one responsible for you losing your balls," She chuckled, shimmying into her padded shirt.
"Right," I nodded slowly.
"There's a bathroom over there," She giggled pointing to a blue door.
Once in the bathroom, I set all the clothing on the hangers and tried to figure out which part went where. It actually wasn't too hard. There was a shirt, just like under-armour, but with padding in it. The pants looks similar to ski pants but with solid knee pads and more padding. In the pile of other gear, there was a pair of gloves, boots which actually happened to be my size, and a mask. I managed to get everything on correctly, including the cup, and I returned into the lobby where I saw Arianna loading two guns.
