The Love From Vengeance

265: GAMERS

LUKE’S POV

I walked into the living room to see Randy and Ethan engrossed in a soccer video game. They were both sitting on the edge of the couch, their eyes glued to the TV screen.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at their intense concentration. “What are you guys playing?” I asked, trying to stifle my laughter.

“It’s this new soccer game,” Randy replied, not taking his eyes off the screen. “It’s so cool; you should try it.”

“I’m good,” I said, shrugging my shoulders. “I’ll just watch.”

Randy and Ethan continued playing, with Randy leading by four goals to nil. I couldn’t believe how good Randy was at the game; he was completely dominating Ethan. I couldn’t resist teasing him a

little.

“Is this how you spend your mornings, Randy?” I teased. “Beating your brother at video games?” Randy shot me a playful glare. “I’m not just beating him; I’m destroying him,” he said proudly.

I couldn’t help but laugh at his confidence. “Well, I used to be pretty good at this game when I was younger,” I said, trying to sound modest.

“Really?” Randy’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Then why don’t you play against me? Let’s see if you

still have it.”

“Trust me, you do not want that happening.“`

“Why? Are you scared?” Randy playfully smirked at me.

I looked at him for a moment, and if that was what he wanted, then so be it. I couldn’t turn down this challenge now.

I took Ethan’s controller and sat down next to Randy. “Alright, you’re on.

The game began, and I felt the competitive spirit rising. I was determined to beat Randy and show him that I still had what it took. We played with intense focus, both of us trying our best to score goals

and defend our nets.

In the end, I emerged as the clear winner, with six goals to Randy’s nil. I couldn’t resist a smirk of satisfaction as I handed back the controller to Ethan.

“It looks like I’m still the king of this game,” I said, trying to hide my smugness.

Randy rolled his eyes at me, but I could see a hint of admiration in them. “Okay, okay, you win,” he conceded. “But I have to admit, you were pretty good.”

I felt a sense of pride at his words. “Thanks, little guy,” I said, patting him on the back.

Ethan couldn’t stop laughing at Randy’s defeat. “Randy, you got beat. And here you were, acting like you were the beast of this game.”

playfully shoved him away. “Shut up, Ethan. At least I put up
