Date Night Chapter 24

Max's point of view


I pulled up in front of Bridgettes house and found myself getting nervous which was totally stupid. I was Max fucking Talbot, I scored goals to win cups, I didn't sit on the street in front of some girls house acting like a damn high schooler with no game. I took a deep breath to steady myself and got out of my car to go to her door. I knocked and I heard a voice yelling through the door that it would be a second. Bridgette anwsered her door and I I had to make a concious effort for my jaw not to hit the floor. She looked beautiful, the emerald green dress made her skin and hair seem even darker and more exotic. I realized that I was just standing there staring at her like an idiot and finally I smiled.



" You look beautiful."



" Thank You. You don't look to bad yourself." she said smiling back at me



I offered her my arm and led her to the car, opening the door for her before I got in myself. We were going to a fancy restaurant that I had heard good things about from some of the other guys. On the way there I phoned staalzie to make sure that they were still coming. He anwsered and told me that they were already there. We pulled up and I gave my keys to the valet before we headed inside.







Mel's pov



Jordan grabbed my hand as we walked into the fancy restaurant that Max had made reservations at. It wasn't really my type of thing but I guess that he wanted to impress this girl and I could see how this would go a long way in doing that. We looked around and didn't see him yet so we were going to wait but the waiter told us that we could sit if we wanted to since they already had a table in the back reserved. We followed him and as we waited we ordered some wine. He got a phonecall as we were sitting and from what I could hear I assumed it was Max telling him that he was on his way. They finally showed a few minutes later and we were introduced to his date. She was beautiful and even though I would never admit it to either of the men, I felt inadequate just standing so close to her. I could tell right away that she was one of those girls that commanded guys attention without even trying, as was evidenced by the fact that neither man could take their eyes off of her. I knew it was stupid and childish but part of me wanted to stake my claim, let her know that she better damn well keep her hands where they belong or else I was liable to tear them off. Our food came and while we were eating she was anwsering questions that the guys kept asking about her. I was being completely ignored and I didn't like it one bit. I wanted to get Jordan's attention back on me so I took my free hand and ran in up his leg and thigh. He turned his head and gave me a look, one that said " not now" and took my hand and placed back in my own lap. He directed his attention back to her and I had had enough. I excused myself so I could go to the bathroom and when I got there I called Vero so I could vent to someone about the situation.



" God V you should see this girl. Big boobs, small waist, she pretty much looks like a fullsize walking version of barbie. Jordan and Max haven't even acknowledged that I am in the room with them all night. The worst part is that I really want to hate her but she seems nice so it's making it kind of hard.



" Sounds like someone is jealous." she said trying not to laugh at how ridiculas I was being



" Yeah I am. Really jealous. Wouldn't you be if Marc did the same to you?"



" No because Marc would never be stupid enough to do something like that in front of me. I would beat the crap out of him and he knows it."



Even though I was still pissy about it I got a mental image of Vero pounding the shit out of poor Marc and I couldn't help but laugh



" See now that's better. Just remember that even if he is looking he's going home with you and that's all that matters."



" Yeah I guess your right." I said with a sigh



" Now go and try to enjoy yourself. "



" I'll try."



I tucked my phone back into my purse and went to use the bathroom. I was washing my hands when Bridgette came in.



" The guys sent me to check on you. I think they were a little worried that you were taking so long." she said as she came over to the sink



" I'm fine. I just had to take a phone call."



" Oh. Okay."



I hesitated, I wanted to ask her something but I didn't want her to get offended.



" Can I ask you how you know Max? He hasn't mentioned any girls since I moved down here."



I watched as her cheeks turned pink and she bit her lower lip before she anwsered.



" I know that this is going to sound horrible but we met at diesel awhile ago and I took him home with me. The funny thing is that I really am not a sports person so I had no idea at the time who he was at the time.



" So your whole relationship has been about sex so far?" I asked



" Yeah but not because I want it to be. After the first night I told a friend about the guy that I had met and apparently she knew who he was because she told me to google him, which I did. It didn't take me very long to figure out his reputation and I figured that it was better to act like it was no big deal that we just had sex then to try to push a relationship because obviously that wouldn't have gotten me very far. I figured that having him in my bed a couple of times a month was better than not having him around at all."



Wow that just killed any hatred I may have felt for this women. Now I just felt bad. At least Jordan knew how I felt and he felt the same way about me.



" Well this date is a step in the right direction right?" I asked as I put my arm around her shoulder



" I hope so. I've had a really good time tonight."



" Let's get you some alone time." I said as I let go of her and went back to the table



" Babe. I'm not feeling good. I think I want to go home." I said as I sat back down next to him holding my stomach



" Alright. Talbo your on your own man. I have to take my women home and play nurse."



He stood up and laid some bills on the table even though Max insisted on paying. I leaned over to give him a kiss on the cheek and as I did I whispered in his ear



" Don't fuck this up. I think this one might be a keeper." I watched as his blue eyes got big and I gave Bridgette a wink before I straightened up and pretended to play sick again. We headed home and I climbed into bed. I wanted to keep pretending to be sick just to see what Jordan would do but I knew that wouldn't be nice so I let him in on what was going on.



" Damn that sucks for her." he said as he crawled into bed beside me,



" Yeah that was what I thought."



" What a dumbass. Hopefully he doesn't fuck it up. She seems like a great girl and lord knows its about time he settle down."



" I really didn't like her at first but after talking to her I agree that she does seem nice."



" Why didn't you like her?" he asked as he rolled over to look at me. I didn't want to admit that I had been jealous but I had brought it up and I knew he wouldn't let it go without me telling him.



" You both were paying attention to her most of the night and I got kind of jealous." I admitted feeling stupid



" You were jealous?" he asked with a grin



" Umhmm." was my only reply



He scooted closer to me and brought his lips down to my collarbone. He laid a few gentle kisses there and started to move higher.



" I'm sorry babe, I didn't mean to make you feel bad but I'm paying attention to you now." he said as he nipped at my earlobe. My breath quickened and any conversation we were having went out the window as he undressed and slid himself into me. I didn't have any idea how this night would end for the other two but as far as I was concerned I couldn't have asked for a better ending to mine.
