"Check mate!" Darcy yelled as he blocked his opponent's king with his Knight, ending and winning the chess match he was playing with Tristan
"Yeah whatever" Tristan said relaxing his back on the garden chair.
"You suck at chess bro. Hey Nick, wanna play?"
"Yeah sure. I'm in the mood to kick your ass" he said getting up from his chair "Tristan please go seat on my chair"
"Alright" he said standing up wearing an uninterested expression on his face
"Hey Tristan, can you tell Trina to get us some beer? I'm suddenly thirsty" Darcy asked in between his game
"Yeah sure" he said getting up. Though he had been trying to avoid Trina since the picnic last week when he realized he was actually developing feelings for her, he still took any given opportunity to get a glimpse of her or have a conversation with her.
Luckily for him, she was in the kitchen when he got there
"Hey Trina" he said pausing by the doorstep
"Good afternoon Sir. How may I be of service to you?" She asked sounding as professional as she could be. She had also been trying to avoid him
"Um...Conrad and Nick need a few bottles of beer"
"Oh okay, I'll get it for them immediately. Um, where can I find them?"
"They're in the garden. Do you need any help?"
"No thank you. I'll be just fine on my own"
"Um okay. I'll be upstairs in my room, in case anyone asks for me" he said before walking out of the kitchen
"Okay Sir"

"Hey dude" Richard said badging into Tristan's room trying not to be quiet
"Don't you know how to knock?" Tristan asked from his bed where he was about falling asleep
"Whatever" he said making himself comfortable on Tristan's bed
"What do you want dude. I'm trying to sleep"
"What's up with you and Kate man?"
"Oh that bitch"
"Yeah. She keeps bugging me to talk to you. Remind me why I have her number?! She said you blocked her. Is it true?"
"Off course it is. That girl is crazy bro. I'm actually tired and I'm no longer interested in her. I mean, she doesn't want me to live, she doesn't want me to die. What should I do?"
"So what should I tell her?"
"I don't know. Whatever but I don't wanna talk to her for now"
"Okay dude. What about Trina, Still fantasizing?"
"Kind off, but it seems she's been trying to avoid me lately and I don't wanna make her feel uncomfortable. I mean, it's a forbidden passion and I don't wanna end up falling for her when I know I won't have her. I'd better avoid such. You know what I mean?"
"Oh! Tristan's finally becoming a man. Bravo!. Well its probably for the best. Come to think of it, you can take advantage of Kate's vulnerability at the moment and use her to get Trina out of your mind completely"
"Yeah I considered. But Kate is a complete pain in the ass"
"What's going on here" Conrad asked entering the room wearing only shorts with a towel hanging over his shoulders
"Nothing much. Going for a swim?" Richard asked
"Yeah. The weather is perfect for a swim"
"It is" Tristan said sitting up
"You guys wanna join me?" Conrad asked
"Yeah sure" Richard and Tristan said simultaneously
"Jinx!" They yelled again punching each other's arm
"So childish" Conrad rolled his eyes "I'll wait for you guys downstairs" he said leaving the room with Richard behind him
"How are you Trina?" Conrad asked when he got to the living room and spotted her in the dinning room
She was a bit shocked when she looked up to see Conrad in his swim shorts. He sure had the body of a Greek god. "He is so muscular and sexy" she thought as she she took in his whole body
"Um... Trina?"
"Oh, master Conrad. I'm okay thanks for asking. Going for a swim?"
"Yeah. Along with Tristan and Richard" he said noticing how she was almost drewling.
"Oh that's nice. The weather is actually kinda hot"
She tried to imagine how hot Tristan would look in his swim shorts. But she didn't wanna keep having fantasies so she decided to go to her room before he came down but she was too slow, immediately she stood up, Tristan came down from the stairs; making it suddenly difficult for her to breathe properly
"Where's Richard?" Tristan asked Conrad not taking note of Trina's presence, giving her time to take in his sexy body
"I'm here" he said coming down the stairs
"Took you guys Long enough" Conrad said getting up from the couch "let's go. See you later Trina" Conrad said drawing Tristan and Richard's attention to her
"Alright masters. Enjoy your swim" she said disappearing into the kitchen
"Is it just me or where her cheeks red from blushing" Richard asked when she was out of sight
"I think we all noticed it. Common let's go" Tristan said heading for the door
"Remind me again why we didn't get some beer when we where coming" Tristan asked no one in particular; 10 minutes after they got into the pool
"I'm still wondering why" Conrad said
"So who's gonna volunteer to get some for us" Richard asked and they just stared at each other. None of them where willing to get out of the pool
"Alright let's race" Conrad suggested "last one to reach the end will have to get us beer"
"Fine" Tristan said and they all got into position at the beggining of the pool. And they began the race, each of them swimming as fast as they could
"I'm here!" Richard yelled when he reached the end of the pool. He turned back and saw Tristan ahead of Conrad, swinging his muscles as fast as he could, and within 2 seconds, Tristan reached the end crowning Conrad the loser
"So I guess I'll go get the beers" Conrad said getting out of the pool
"That's what you get for getting into a pool race with pro's bro. No hard feelings though" Richard said
"Yeah whatever"
When he got to the kitchen, he met Trina dicing fruits. Probably for fruit salad or something. She was oblivious to his presence and began to sing
"Damn her voice is heavenly" he thought as he listened. Her voice made the lyrics of the song sound better. He had definitely found the Black Celine Dion.
When she was done, he couldn't help clapping which took her by surprise causing her to land the knife on her finger instead of the banana she was slicing
"Oh my God are you okay? I'm so sorry I startled you" he said rushing to her. But she didn't say anything
"Come, I'll bandage your hand" he said taking her by the hand and leading her to his room upstairs where he had a first aid kit
"Does it hurt?" He asked when they got to the room
"Just a little"
"Give me your finger" he said after getting his first aid kit. Then he cleaned the surface and surroundings of the cut and then bandaged it
"Thank you sir" she said when he was done
"Its okay. I'm sorry I startled you once again. You have a very wonderful voice you know. I couldn't help standing there listening till you where done"
"Thank you sir" she said blushing "I should head back downstairs now" she said getting up from his bed "I still have some cooking to do"
"Are you sure you'll be able to cook With your finger still hurting?"
"I'll manage sir"
"I can help you if you want. Its no..."
"Its okay sir" she said cutting him short "you don't have to bother yourself"
"Okay. I better head back to the pool then. My brother's will be wondering why I'm taking so long. Common let's go" he said leading her out of his room. He was glad that no one was in the hallway, he didn't want to have to explain himself to anyone.
"Hey dude what took you so long?" Tristan asked when he spotted Conrad coming
"And where are the drinks" Richard added noticing Conrad was coming back to the pool empty handed
"Oh shit" Conrad swore silently. He was carried away by Trina's singing and little accident that he forgot why he was there in the first place
"Sorry guys. I'll go get them" he said turning back
"Dude, you good?" Tristan asked
"Yeah, I'm Good" he answered as he disappeared into the house again.
