The Love Game

Chapter 4: Taylor

"Why?" I asked my face was sprawled with confusion... and embarrassment.

"Because." Vivianna walked away.

I stood in shock. I felt something, I felt some sort of chemistry between Vivianna and I. The way our lips moved in synch for the first couple seconds. I had never had a better kiss in my entire life. Vivianna made me feel amazing, what sucked is that she didn't feel the same.

"What are you doing?" I heard the sound of Vivianna's voice. I quietly peeked around the corner of the house.

"What were you two doing?" Dillon's expression made me uneasy.

"Just talking. Why are you always so worried about what I'm doing with other guys?"

"What are you Taylor's girl now?" Dillon was mad. "I thought you were mine. I- I thought we had something." Dillon was great at acting like he was sad. This was all just an act to make Vivianna like him again so he could win The Love Game.

"Oh Dillon I do care for you. I'm sorry." She fell for Dillon's trick. While Vivianna was falling for Dillon's trick my heart was breaking. I wasn't putting on an act to get Vivianna, I really liked her. She sacrificed the kiss with me for him.

Dillon removed his eyes from Vivianna to me. I quickly backed away and stood against the back of the house.

"You know something Vivianna," I peeked around the corner again. "whatever is going on with you and Taylor isn't safe."

"Safe?" Vivianna asked.

"Yes, Taylor is not trustworthy. He is only trying to take you away from me. I will not let that happen. I promise. He's trying to get with you but it's all not true." Dillon glanced over at me. I backed away again and stood against the house.

Dillon was going to hear from me.

"I'm hearing the same thing about you from Taylor. I don't know who to trust ."

"Trust me my love." Dillon said stroking her cheek with his thumb.

Dillon and Vivianna shared a hug before Vivianna walked off.

"You can come out now." Dillon's voice was louder.

"You need to stay the hell away from my Anna." I said sternly.

"My Anna? She's not your girl. She's mine." Dillon's eyes were full of rage.

"Try me." I said walking away.

"Look I want to stop The Love Game. I'm out." I threw down all the money I had earned.

"You're quitting?" Chris looked surprised.

"Yeah, I- I can't let Vivianna get hurt through all this mess." I said.

"See he's letting his personal feelings get in the way of our game, but if you want to quit." Dillon scooped up the money I threw down. "Oh well, I guess that means more of the share for me."

"Actually." I snatched the money from Dillon. "I changed my mind." I couldn't let Dillon win this game. No matter what my feelings for Vivianna were I couldn't let Vivianna fall for him and have him break her heart.

"Okay, whatever you say. I still get forty dollars, Vivianna hugged me." I couldn't deny it. I passed twenty dollars to Dillon.

"What about you Taylor?" Dillon smirked.

The memory of Vivianna and I kissing flashed back in my head. I had this urge to speak up and tell them but I didn't want to continue with the game. It was wrong, I was betraying Anna.
