Tricks Of The Game

Chapter 20

*Brianna's POV*

        It's been a week since the little altercation with Jonathan, and he hasn't said a word to Brandon or I. The media finally started minding their own business, leaving well enough alone. I sat on the couch with my laptop, scrolling through Facebook, Twitter, and my email, because I haven't had time to look at them. I noticed on Twitter that Brandon had posted a picture of the baby jersey and a picture of the first ultrasound. I knew that he was happy about this and so was I. Hell, even Evelyn was happy. I woke up this morning to her kissing my stomach and whispering things like, 'I love you' and 'I'm going to be the best big sister in the world.' I smiled at the thought of it.

        This house is too quiet. Brandon's at practice, and Evelyn is with my parents on a little shopping spree. I need a girls night out.

Hey Kelso, I know you're at practice right now. I was wondering if you wanted to have a girls night out. I need to get out of this house and I'm pretty sure Brandon is hanging out with some of the boys tonight. So dinner tonight at the little French restaurant downtown?

        I waited for her response, which didn't take long.

Hey girl! Yeah, would love to. I'll pick you up at 6, I'll make a reservation for 6:30. See you tonight!

        I noticed the time, it's 3:30. Better get ready. I ran to the bedroom, and headed straight for the shower. As I'm washing my body, I felt two strong arms around my waist, and a pair of lips on the back of my neck.

        "You're lucky Brandon, because I'm getting out."

        He stood there shocked. "Why?"

        I chuckled. "I need to get ready for dinner. Kelsey and I are going out."

        I wrapped the towel around me and went my closet, and went straight for the dresses. I finally picked a strapless, sweetheart neck, blue tight dress that had rhinestones on the neckline and a rhinestone belt. I choose my silver sequin 4 inch pumps, and a pair of dangle diamond earrings. I grabbed my blow dryer and went through my hair for a good 10 minutes before straightening my hair. For makeup, I only did mascara, eyeliner, and a light pink lipstick. I put the dress on with the earrings, then slipping my heels on. I grabbed a silver clutch, and put money, my phone, ID, and my lipstick inside. I checked the time, 5:55. I'm good. I walked down the stairs, only to have all of the guys turn around and look at me. Their mouths were on the ground.

        "Boys, you might want to close your mouths, you'll catch flies." Brandon came over to me, grabbed me by the waist and pulled me in for a long, passionate kiss.

        "Have fun, and you two behave yourselves." I nodded, then I heard a car horn. I walked out and got into Kelsey's car.

        "Hey girl, lookin' good!"

        I hugged her, "Thanks, you too!"

        We headed to the restaurant. When we got there, we were seated. I looked over the menu, deciding on the duck.

        "Hi, my name is Melissa and I will be your server this evening. What can I get you guys to drink?"

        Kelsey went first, "I'll just have water."

        I nodded, "Same for me." Our waitress left, only to return with our water.

        "So, are you guys ready to order?"

        We both nodded, "I'm going to have the duck."

        She wrote it down, then turned to Kelsey.

        "I'm going to have the chicken." That's not my Kelsey, she usually gets the frog legs. Well, that's a shocker. I heard a couple sit next to us, I looked over, only to see Jonathan, with Lindsay. You've got to be kidding me!!

        "Excuse me, can we place our orders to go, please." She nodded, and Kelsey looked at me. I glanced over towards Jon, and she looked at him. She looked back at me, with a shocked look on her face.

        "Jonnykins, I'm so sorry about you and Brianna. Just know that I will never cheat on you with your own teammate and then divorce you." Lindsay thinks she's smart, doesn't she?

        "OK, look here bitch. You don't know the first thing about our divorce, nor do you know about me. So, unless you know about me and what ACTUALLY happened between Jon and I, I suggest you keep your mouth shut before I bust your face in. And don’t think I won't do it, because believe me, I will."

        Jon looked beyond pissed, "Don't talk to her like that!"

        My eyes went wide, "If I clearly remember, 3 years ago, you were the one telling her to leave you alone, because you had found someone who made you happy. And if I'm correct, that person was me. You're the one who beat me, Brandon was protecting me. If it wasn't for you acting like a 5 year old kid because I couldn't make it to practice, I would still be with you and maybe the babies that are inside of me right now could be yours, because you want to know something, Jon? I was ready to have more kids with you. But you fucked that up for yourself!" His eyes went wide, along with Kelsey's and Lindsay's.

        "I didn't know that. Then why did we use protection the last time?"

        I laughed, "Clearly you don't remember. I didn't want to, but you did. Apparently you weren't ready for another child, were you? Are you ready now because you know that I was ready for another child? And Lindsay, I wouldn't stick around if I were you. It won't be long until you're being beat on by him."

        The waitress brought our food out. I paid and grabbed Kelsey, rushing out if there.

        "Girl, I'm so proud of you for standing up for yourself. She looked so shocked!" I giggled. We went back to her place and ate our food. She took me home and I crawled into bed. All this fighting is making me tired.
