The Traphouse // c.b & b.t

Speechless, once again

The game is almost over, If Sam hits this in, he wins. But if he doesn't, it's my turn and I have a chance to win. Or in other words a chance to beat Colby, who by the way has been staring at me all night.

I know he's doing it to get something out of me but it won't work this time. I've got my game face on and it's my time to take control.

Sam lines up his stick. Apart of me wants him to win just so Colby doesn't win but I also want a chance to see the look on his face for when I do.

Sam hits the ball and it bounces off the corner right where the hole is.

"Ooohh!!!" Sam yells out of frustration.

"You got this Candy." Franny says as I take a deep breath. Sam had made it a little tricky for me to possibly make this, but I think I can do it.

I line up my stick and don't rush at all. This is my time. I can feel a heart beat in my throat just as I look up at Colby. He has his chin leaning on the end of his stick and his eyes are fixated on me. I grin at him with a small wink, before hitting the ball.

I watch it glide across the table in slow motion. My heart sinks when it rolls right into the hole. I stand there almost speechless as Kat, Franny, and Sam cheer me on.

"Yeah Candy!!" Franny jumps on me and I laugh hysterically. If they didn't know about the game I have with Colby, they probably wouldn't be this enthusiastic.

"Good game." I look away from Franny and Sam to face Colby.

"Thank you." I respond. "Easy money."

"I'm sure it was." He grins, making me uneasy.

"Anyone want a drink?" I change the subject, my eyes not leaving Colbys. The tension between us is insanely intense and I am unable to break it.

"I gotchu girl." Franny says, walking towards the bar with Kat. 

"I'll set up a new match." Sam says, walking away. He probably isn't even going to do what he says, but just wanted to leave.

"What." I sat quietly.

"Nothing." Colby says deeply.

"I'm going to go to the bar." I smile slightly.

"Okay." He says. Just as I'm walking away he looks at me up and down and turns to Sam.

I approach Kat and Franny, with no breath in my lungs.

"Holy shit Candy." Franny says. "You got him so good."

"Are you sure?" I fan myself with my hands.

"You should've seen his face when you hit the ball." Kat says. "Priceless."

"Hi." I hear a voice from behind me. The three of us turn around and see three random guys standing there.

"Uh hi." I reply. "Can we help you?"

"We were just wondering if we could buy you ladies a drink." The one in the middle says.

"Oh no that's okay. Thank you though." Franny says.

"Why not?" One asks.

"We're not interested." I say, getting kind of annoyed.

"Not interested in a free drink?" The one in the middle says again.

"Nope, like I said, not interested." I say.

"What about you honey?" One of them points to Kat.

"Nope, she's not either." I cross my arms.
