“Wanna grab some drinks?” Enzo asked with a warm smile.

I was a bit surprised by the offer, since I expected Enzo to be too disheartened after the match to want to do anything; if anything, he actually seemed excited about the rematch. Maybe finally having some real competition was refreshing for him.

“Um, sure,” I said, grabbing my bag. Where do you want to go?”

“I was just thinking the bar in town,’ Enzo replied. “Wait here. I’m just gonna go change and then we can go.’

“Jesus!” I said, clutching my chest. ” You have got to stop sneaking up on people like that. And it’s nothing. We’re just gonna grab some drinks.”

Lori smirked. “I thought you were staying single for a while,” she said.

I rolled my eyes. “I am,” I replied. ” Enzo and I are just friends.”

“Yeah, okay,” Lori said sarcastically. ” Who knew friends could make you blush so much?”

My face turned even more red at her words, but I didn’t let it get to me. I could have said a number of things about how Lori pined away for Jessica for two years, but I chose not to mention it.
