Lethal Paradise-Series One

The Match

"Bro, it's the weekend, what are we doing?" David questioned Calvin while driving down the highway.

"I was thinking, the club, maybe," Calvin replied.

"That sounds great, we could probably touch more than two of them too," David replied in excitement.

"Ahhh, I love the sound of that," Calvin replied.

"Just tell me when you get off, and we'll make a move," David concluded.

"Sure thing man," Calvin answered.

"Hmm clubs," I'm telling mom, Darryl chuckled.

"Remind me again, why you guys didn't go with mom and dad?" David smirked.

"Oh come on bro, you know you're glad we did, you would have been in here vibing all alone to Drake and Migos," Damian teased.

David laughed out loudly; "You know that ain't true; Darryl you agree with that?"

Darryl chuckled, "Don't bring me in yall shit man."

They laughed together and then David announced, "We're here."

"Damn," Darryl exclaimed while looking through the window, "why are there so many people here?"

"I know right, are the Panthers worth it?" Damian laughed.

David chuckled while pulling up in the car park, "Come on."

"No bro, dad said to wait until they come, so we could walk with the guards," Darryl explained.

David shook his head in annoyance, "Who's gonna steal you guys here, for real?" David said.

As they walked in the Stadium, it was filled with people dressed in blue and yellow. The chants growing louder as they walked closer to the stands.

Darryl exclaimed, "This is crazy!" shocked at the attendance.

The personnel's then signaled for them to go to the VIP area, which was way at the top.

David starred into the crowd, immediately noticing all the ladies dressed in their short skirts and crop tops. "They barely got clothes on, they're kids here bruh," David said.

"Oh well I ain't no kid," Darryl said, then Damian followed, "I ain't either."

David laughed at his brothers, slightly pushing them into each other with his shoulders.

The match started and David's focus is entirely on the field. His mother and his father sat behind him and his brothers chatting endlessly.

"Mom, Dad," David turned around. His parents then looked at each other and grew quiet.

"At least someone was brave enough to do it," Darryl chuckled.

"You're something else," David said while laughing in Darryl's direction.

It's half time and David looked over to his brothers and said. "I'll go for some snacks."

"I wanna come," Darryl expressed.

His father who overheard him and said, "No, your brother can go on his own."

Their mother looked sharply at him, "I'm sure David could use the help, he only has two hands, Jacob."

"Fine, Buddy!" he called, "Go with them!"

"Great, now we have to have a tall guy in a black suit walking behind us," Darryl uttered softly.

"Come on man, let's go," David said.

Damian could hear his parents in conversation. "So if it were David alone going, you wouldn't have sent Buddy?" Dawn asked. Trying to ignore her, he continued looking at the empty field.

Damian turned around and saw his mother knock his father on his shoulders. "Answer me!" she exclaimed softly.

"Stop making a scene Dawn."

She then turned herself back straight in her seat, with her hands folded.

Downstairs, David and Darryl had to wait in a long line. The line made a semicircle and seemed never-ending. As David scanned the line he spotted Annika. "You have to be kidding me," he said under his breath.

"What's the matter?" Darryl asked.

"Oh, it's nothing," while still watching over in Annika's direction.

Darryl then fixed his eyes on where David's own was.

"Oh, who is that?" Darryl asked.

David knocked him, "Hey, don't even think about it; school should be the only thing on your mind right now."

Darryl looked up at David, "Oh so you can get all the girls? Salt for me?"

"I'm way older than you Darryl, don't get smart with me?" David said.

Moving up in the line, Annika got what she wanted and is walking in their direction. She spotted David as she walked over, and started smiling endlessly.

David did a quick grin and looked in the other direction.

Darryl recognized how strange his brother was acting and continued smiling at her as if he knew her.

"Hey," she called out, to an uninterested David.

"Hey," he said.

"Didn't expect to see you here, didn't know you were a football fan," she said casually.

"I'm not, I'm here mainly because of my brothers," David said.

"Oh," nice to meet you, she stretched out her left hand, hoping that he would tell her his name.

"Darryl," he said, "Nice to meet you too."

"Good to see you, David," Annika said as she walked away.

"Yep, you too," David ended.

Darryl glared at his brother, wondering why he was behaving so strange.

David knew his brother had so many questions but he shut them down; "Don't even ask."

Darryl laughed, "I won't, I won't," with his hands flaring to the sky.
