“Come on, Taylor, relax. TJ filled me in on you suing him and I thought it would be funny if you saw them here.”

My brother is not just an idiot, but a cruel one.

“And you thought that was funny, why?”

“You are so uptight now and I knew you needed a night out. These guys are the kings of fun, and I thought that, yeah,seeing them would make you mad, but you would grow to like them like I do.”

I glare at Shane with my hands on my hips. There is no way he thought this was a good idea.

“Plus, it was technically TJ’s idea.”

Shane rubs the back of his neck, looking guilty.

That makes more sense. Shane wouldn’t want to do this to torture me, but whenever TJ is involved, Shane does dumb things.

“Just take me home.”

“Taylor, don’t kill the vibe. Let me buy you a drink,” TJ approaches us.

I shoot a glare at TJ. How dare he come over here with that smirk on his perfectly symmetrical face and offer to get me a drink?

“Please,” Shane begs me. “You’ll like them once you get to know them.”

Realizing that I am outnumbered and carless, I cave.

“Fine, but I’m getting an expensive drink.”

I walk over to the bar and order the most expensive martini they have on the menu. As the bartender gets my drink ready, TJ comes over.

“Dance with me.”

It doesn’t feel like he’s asking me a question but more like making a demand.

I scoff. “You wish.”

I down the martini and walk over to the dartboard.

“Mind if I show you how it's done?” I ask Lex and Nic.

Lex frowns and Nic nods.

I walk over and Lex hands me two darts. One is already on the board, but way to the left.

Taking a deep breath, I hold the first dart up and throw it. I just miss the center.

“She’s pretty good,” I hear Nic say to Lex.

“Beginner’s luck,” he grumbles.

I take the second dart and line it up before throwing it and hitting dead in the center.

Bullseye.

“That’s how it's done.”

I walk away from the duo and see Liam and Pat playing pool.

“Mind if I join?”
