I gave him a one-side shrug. “Whatever you two want, I don’t mind.

Eden’s POV:

I thought over it before shrugging. I grew up playing games—from indoor to outdoor. My parents loved playing games, and I learned a lot from them. My mom was a pro at board games than physical, while my dad was more of a sports person. Luke was… well, he was okay. Sometimes we’d be joined by the Carter family and we’d have games night for two whole days. It was fun. I miss those days.

“Sounds fun,” I answered with a smile. “I’m in.”

Sterling's POV:

I grinned and leaned over to kiss Eden's cheek. "Great! Either of you have a game you'd prefer to play?"

Eden’s POV:

I shook my head.

“I’m okay with anything,” I answered. “You both can decide.”

“It’s up to Sterling, ‘cos I don’t mind either.” I snuck a cupcake onto my plate, unable to resist the temptation.

Sterling’s POV:

I snorted and shook my head, taking a sip of my milkshake. “Well, I’m going to have to make all the decisions in this friendship, aren’t I?” I joked with a teasing grin. “What about Monopoly?”

Eden’s POV:

I snorted but didn’t say anything in reply to his joke. Instead, I took another brownie and took a big bite, chewing on the soft dessert and swallowing, licking my lips to wipe off the chocolate I felt was on my mouth.

“All right,” I agreed, taking another bite, chocolate sticking to the corner of my mouth. I didn’t notice, so I let it be.

Sterling’s POV:

I looked between the girls again, noticing a spot if chocolate on Eden’s lip. With a chuckle, I grinned down at her. “You’ve got something right…” I bent down to kiss the spot, removing the chocolate in the process. “…here.”

Eden’s POV:

I almost choked, slapping my hand over my mouth to prevent myself from spitting out the brownie.

Damn it, Sterling. Why do you constantly do things like this?

I cleared my throat, coughing awkwardly, my face feeling warm.

“Um… thank you…” I whispered, too shy to take another bite.

(Sorry, Eden. Lol. 😁
I kinda want to see Violeta’s response before I write Sterling’s.)

(Sorry, Eden. Lol. 😁

(It’s fine. XD so do I!)

I bit back a laugh, seeing the expression on Eden’s face. Part of me wondered if there would ever be anyone to do that for me, but the rational side of my brain told me to stop daydreaming and go party. “Sounds good. Do you want me to give you two a moment, or…?”

Eden’s POV:

I immediately shook my head.

“No, it’s fine,” I probably sounded too eager, so I cleared my throat. “It’s fine. Sorry. Sterling here can’t control himself, I’m afraid. We can go have a round, if you’d like.”

Sterling's POV:

I grinned down at Eden, giving her a quick wink before I turned to Violeta. "No, I think we're good. Sorry about that… We're not making you uncomfortable, are we?"

I let out my laugh this time, shook my head in an amused fashion. “You’re not making me uncomfortable, don’t worry, I don’t mind. You don’t have to stop being a couple just because I’m here.”

Sterling's POV:

With a chuckled of my own, I grinned back at her. "Well, thanks. I'm glad we're not scaring you away, then. I'm not sure I would be able to stop being with her for a long period of time. Or a short one, for that matter."

Eden’s POV:

I quickly finished my brownie, wiping my mouth to make sure there wasn’t anything stuck there while Sterling talked.

Once he finished, I rubbed the back of my neck, trying not to let his words affect me.

“What can I say?” I muttered under my breath. “I’m irresistible.”

Sterling's POV:

My grin grew at Eden's words, and I turned to look at her fully. It was unexpected for her to say that, but it was totally true… She was irresistible…

"Mm… Very true," I hummed, my smile softening as I looked down at her lovingly.

I finished off my pizza and leaned back against the wall, letting them do their flirty thing. My mind wandered…. returning, of course, to Gray.

Eden’s POV:

I whipped my head up in his direction, startled by his response. I locked eyes with him and his warm gaze sent a shiver down my spine. Sterling’s eyes whenever they looked at me was the best sight I’d ever seen. They’d become so warm, so soft—gentle yet demanding and it was enough to make me lose it.

I, however, didn’t plan on making Violeta a third wheel, so I cleared my throat, trying to fight off the blush on my cheeks.

“I—I was being sarcastic,” I said hastily. “I’m glad you think so, though.”

(Lol. "Letting them do their flirty thing…" Violeta, you will soon learn that that's about the only thing they do when they're around each other…)

Sterling's POV:

"Anytime, babe," I chuckled, slowly shaking my head in amusement. "So, anyway… You said games were where, again, Violeta?"

(XD)

“Right this way.” Grinning and very much amused, I started towards the hallway, where two doors were open and accessible to the party guests. “Just in here..”

(Sure
Or should we skip to after?)

Eden’s POV:

I nodded at her, looking around. It wasn’t a bad party, I told myself. It wasn’t. I was glad there was no alcohol, no crowds, no annoying people.

“You don’t have to be anywhere, do you?” I questioned with a raised eyebrow after realizing she was probably with a friend before she saw us.

(Sure
Or should we skip to after?)

(I'm fine with whatever.)

Should I respond to Callie’s post or are we skipping?

Oh, I did not read those posts from earlier. :o
