"He sent you a freaking goat emoji. How is he not your boyfriend yet?" Tessa said, both her and Erika sitting across each other at Starbucks. Erika laughed her comment off, as she sipped on her drink.
"Seriously, E. It's so obvious that both of you like each other." Tessa said, while taking a bite of her vegan sandwich.
"Fine..." Erika says, who avoided looking at Tessa. Tessa rolled her eyes and grabbed her car keys.
"Let's go." She said, grabbing her stuff and walking toward the car.
Erika walked out of the coffee shop, headed towards Tessa's car, Yolanda the Honda. She waited for Tessa to unlock her car, but she was busy taking a call. Tessa finished her call, her body language a bit weird.
After Tessa unlocked the car, Erika got in the passenger's seat and plugged her phone into the aux cord, playing one of her favorite albums. Tessa was tapping the steering wheel nervously.
"What's wrong?" Erika looked at her confused, as she continued looking straight at the road.
"Jake called." She said, not giving Erika any more details.
"And..?" Erika asked, trying to push Tessa into telling her.
"We have to get home, he's having a meeting with everyone." Tessa glanced at Erika for a moment, then watched the road ahead of her. After a few minutes, they were parking in front of the Team 10 house, which was full with fans standing outside. Tessa parked her car carefully, then got out, and opened the door to the house.
It was strangely quiet inside, no people yelling while vlogging, nothing. Erika found it weird, then walked inside her office. As she sat down on her desk, she felt all eyes on her. She put her bag down, and placed her feet up on her desk.
"So, what's gotten everyone so quiet?" She said, laughing softly, which caused everyone else to smile a little. Tessa sat beside Erika on another chair.
"Do you think they're pranking us?" Tessa whispered into her ear, at which Erika shrugged as all of them waited for Jake. After a few minutes and seeing no sign of Jake, Erika got out her phone and started looking through her Instagram feed. She looked up, her eyes meeting Anthony's for a second. She then looked back down at her phone, trying to hide her blush.

As Jake walked inside the room, both Anthony and Erika stuffed their phones in their pockets and looked at him.
"Why's it so gloom here?" He said, as he hid something behind his back. He looked at everyone, then took out his merch gun and started shooting merch everywhere, as he laughed. Everyone was covering their faces, trying not to get shot. He stopped shooting as everyone laughed softly.
"There we go," He walked over to where he had placed his vlog camera and stopped recording.
"Onto more serious matters," He said, as he sat down on his chair. "This week, the two girls who won the contest to be Chanthony's dates are gonna fly here, so everyone please be nice." He said, as he crossed his feet on the table.
"That's it?" Ivan answered, his Spanish accent evident.
"Yes," Jake laughed as he walked out with his vlog camera. Everyone else started piling out of the small office, leaving Megan and Nick to do their jobs.
"Damn, I was a little scared back there." Anthony walked up to Erika, as he laughed softly.
"I didn't expect much really, Jake is really spontaneous." Erika sat down on the kitchen island, bread, cheese and jam in front of her. Anthony sat in front of her, a can of Redbull in his hand.
"So," He laughed as he watched her make a sandwich. "What's up, goatie?" He laughed as he saw Erika's face redden at the nickname. He searched around the room for Jake, but he was nowhere to be found.
"Wonder where Jake went." Anthony mumbled under his breath, as he sat down on the couch, his computer on his lap. He inserted his camera memory card into the slot on the computer, and started editing they clips they had filmed during the week. Erika plopped down beside him, laying her head on his shoulder as he edited.
"What's this week's video about?"Erika asked as she took a bite out of her sandwich.
"What are you doing eating a sandwich?" Anthony laughed, looking at her.
"It's cheat day." She giggled softly as she looked back at the screen.
"Well, it's basically footage from the week, it's kinda like a vlog." He explained, as he cut the footage he didn't want to be posted.
"So you're a vlogger now." She teased him as he rolled his eyes in annoyance, then laughed. "I guess, Chance and I haven't talked it through though."
Anthony's sentence was cut off as Jake's yelling entered the house.
"I'm back and I've got guests!" He yelled, as he walked in the door, two girls following him closely. Everyone stopped what they were doing and walked to where Jake was, curious. Anthony and Erika followed everyone close behind,
"This is Emma," He said, pointing at a brunette girl standing to his right. "And this is Abigail."
Abigail smiled and waved shyly at everyone, as all of them greeted her with a hug. Emma smiled widely and hugged everyone, but her eyes were fixed on Anthony.
Jake started recording on his vlog camera, and introduced both the girls to the vlog.
"It's up to you guys to decide whose date you will be." He smiled at them as he stopped recording.
Emma walked up to Anthony and wrapped her arm around him.
"I think you're my choice."
