Love Bite

Ch 76: Healthy Competition

"Why are you good at this? You're not aloud to be good at this" Cardenas scolded me as I walked over to sit back next to him.

"You're just envious of my skills" I told him "because you're losing"

"I'm not losing" he told me.

"Right" I nodded "you're just above Zoe, who can't bowl to save her life"

"I heard that" Zoe glared from across the table.

"She's getting cocky isn't she?" Carden said to her.

"Yeah" he nodded "I say we teach her a lesson"

"I couldn't do that" Cardenas said as his arm wrapped around my shoulders "not to this princess"

His menacing sarcasm was not taken lightly, and as he let go of my shoulder and his hand traveled down my back I tried to get away.

"No!" I yelled, pulling away as he began lightly going over my back with his fingers.

"What are you doing?" Zoe asked in curiosity.

"Her back is really ticklish and sensitive" he smirked, enjoying this torment of me.

"And of course you know that after last night" she raised a brow, a grin spreading across her lips.

"Oh god it's started" I groaned.

"What?" She asked.

"These comments" I sighed.

Carden once again moved his fingers and I flinched and a shiver ran down my spine. I was arching my back like mad, I hated how ticklish my back was.

To think that as a kid my parents made a thing of tracing shapes on my back almost as a way to get me to sleep. Now it couldn't be touched without my severe hatred of the feeling and a constant shiver that wouldn't end until they stopped touching.

"Please stop" I begged him, my body folded on itself and my knee in my face, the leather seat under it.

He lifted his hand away and I glanced over my shoulder to see his smiling, his hand hovering over my back. I quickly twisted around so that I was facing him and my back was not.

"I hate you" I pouted.

"No you don't" he smiled, leaning closer.

"Yes I do" I insisted "go away"

I brought my feet up onto the seat and started to try and push him away with them. So her grabbed my feet and dragged me closer until my knees were over the thigh furthest from me.

"Uh uh" I said, pushing myself away and using him to do so, basically kicking him in my effort to retreat.

I was proving to be successful when he reached out "Eva careful-"

Then I dropped, my stomach dropping with my body in the worst feeling. Just before I hit the ground someone caught hold of me, one hand under my arm and one on my other upper arm.

"Watch it" Javier told me, pulling me up and returning me to the leather seat.

"Thanks" I said, looking over at him.

"Idiot" Zoe chuckled.

"Shut up" I frowned in embarrassment.

I shuffled back next to Carden, sliding my legs off the seat and sitting normally once more.

"I'll have to keep that in mind though, Eva's weakness, her back" Zoe smirked mischievously at me.

"I pray for you to get memory loss" I grimaced.
