We Come Alive 3

Bet

Sunday midday most people were relaxing and preparing for their work week that they were about to have, but that wasn't the case for the seven football players. They were having their lunch break in the employee break room. They were halfway through their work day and for some of them, they were nearly finished.

Ethan sat down at their circle table table that they had all surfed themselves at since they didn't know any of the other employees. He had just finished throwing out his trash and was wiping the food crumbs off his chins and cheeks.

"One more hour and I'm getting my pay check and out this joint." Ethan chuckled, putting his hands behind his head.

"Don't gloat." Jacob sighed, pushing the other half of his sandwich over to Stephen who gladly took it. "I haven't been out once today. No work, no money."

"Thanks." Stephen muttered as he took the half cut sandwich and begun to eat it. "What're y'all doing after this? Or whenever you get off?"

"I got physical therapy like any other day." Andrew spoke aloud, sitting up in his chair and adjusting his left leg that was across Clover's lap since she was sitting next to him.

Diego stood up as he picked up his garbage and held his hands out for his friends to pile theirs into his hands for him to throw out. "I'm taking Mila out tonight. We're going to the movies."

Clover chuckled as she leaned back in her chair. "You and Mila are back together? Congrats. Maybe this time you can keep down your high libido."

Diego rolled his eyes as he threw out the trash in the garbage can in the middle of the room and walking back over to them. Jose frowned as he looked between the two of them.

"What's that?" He asked, confused.

"A high sex drive." Diego answered, sighing as he gave clover a look. "But this time it's different. I'm not messing up this time."

Clover nodded slowly as she gently slid Andrew's leg off her lap. "If you say so. I'll take your word for it."

Jacob looked up behind them and noticed a familiar faced girl walking their way in a dark blue sundress and black sandals. Manny smiled to them as she walked over and stood at their table.

"I see y'all stick together no matter what. This looks uncomfortable with all of you stuffed around the table." Manny smirked.

"Might as well add one more." Jacob smiled, putting his hand on her hip and bringing her into his lap. Manny laughed as she sat on his lap gladly and tried to join their conversation. She quickly lost interest in what they were talking about, so she just picked the nail polish off her nails. Noticing this, Jacob softly lifted her up so he could stand up. He set her on her feet before guiding her out of the employee break room and down the small hallway to the main dining room.

"What's up with you?" Jacob asked, holding her hand. "You seem distracted lately. Out of touch with reality."

Manny shrugged, following him out the dining building and outside where they hung out in front of the doors. "I don't know. Just a lot of my mind." She admitted. "Lots happened lately."

"Anything I can help with?" He offered, squinting from the sun beaming down over them. "Maybe I can help."

Manny shrugged. "If you can I'll let you know. But thanks."
