to myself. Let him take what he wanted from this! Let him know how much of an asshole I thought he was. He constantly glanced at our table with a strange expression as he sang and I couldn’t help but feel like I had won this battle.
The band finished their set and made their way to our table, fighting women as they went. Drake leaned down and whispered in my ear as he passed, “You think you’re hilarious don’t you?”
I grinned and gave him a look of complete innocence, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
He chuckled as he sat down across from me, “I’m sure you don’t.”
The rest of the band sat down around us and Adam ended up in the chair next to Amber. I could almost hear her squeal of excitement as he turned to stare at her. “Amber right?”
“Yeah and you’re Eric?”
Eric, who had just sat down next to Jade and Drake choked on his beer. “Dude you just got burned. You’ve been sitting at the same table as her, drooling in her lap for months and she doesn’t even know your name!”
I laughed at Amber’s mind games as Adam flipped Eric off. He turned back to Amber and smiled, “Nah that douche over there is Eric. I’m Adam.”
Amber gave him the fakest embarrassed smile I had ever seen, “Whoops, sorry Adam.”
“It’s alright. Let me buy you a beer?”
She nodded as he motioned for the waitress to bring a round over to our table. Since we were with the band, they appeared in front of us almost instantly. I glanced at Drake to notice him glaring at something behind me. I turned slightly and noticed a group of guys a couple tables away from us watching me. I gave them a small smile before turning away and taking a sip of my beer.
Drake gave a small growl as one of the men sat down in the empty chair beside me. He gave me his most charming smile.
“Hey, I’m Chris.”
I gave him a small smile, “Hi Chris, I’m Chloe.”
The guy was attractive, no doubt about it. His hair was a light brown and he had amazing green eyes. He was built bigger than Drake or Logan, with muscles bulging out of his tight white shirt.
“Can I buy you drink?”
I shook my head and held up the half empty bottle in my hand, “No thanks, I’m good.”
He seemed disappointed, but I didn’t feel the least bit guilty. I had enough guy problems as it was, no need to give this guy the wrong idea and myself a headache.
“Come on, that one’s almost empty. Just one.”
Before I could speak, Drake broke into the conversation. “She said no buddy, why don’t you take the hint and go back to your table?”
Chris glared up at Drake, “I don’t remember asking your opinion buddy.”
“Well you got it. Move along.”
Chris glanced back at me, “You with this asshole?”
Shock crossed my face as I shook my head, “No definitely not.”
Chris turned to give Drake a smug smile, “Looks like you don’t have any say then.”
Drake clenched his fisted on the table before pointing to the door, “You need to leave, now. Or I’m going to help you leave.”
Chris laughed as he threw his arm around my shoulders. “I’d like to see you try.”
Everyone at the table was deathly quiet as Drake stood so fast he knocked his chair over. I quickly removed myself out from underneath Chris’s arm. “Guys chill out. Drake sit back down, Chris thank you for the offer, but no thanks. I have a boyfriend who isn’t him,” I pointed at Drake who was still standing and shooting murderous glares across the table at us.
Chris frowned, but stood to leave, “That’s too bad. I’ll be over there if you change your mind.” He gave Drake one last glare as he walked back to his table.
“Asshole,” Drake muttered as he picked his chair up and sat back down.
Everyone was staring at him as Eric started laughing hysterically. “I have seen it all. Drake Allen just took up for a girl.”
I rolled my eyes as everyone started laughing with him. “Shush. And you,” I turned my gaze to Drake, “I don’t need you to take up for me. I can fight my own battles.”
His eyes turned hard as they met mine, “Sure you can. Sorry, it won’t happen again.”
The rest of the night was tense as everyone sensed the anger rolling off of both of us. Everyone but Amber and Adam that
