face.
    Chandler laughed. "Yes Brynn, it was nice, or better than nice, but I thought we were moving on."
    "We are, I was just making sure!"
    "So, how are you feeling this morning?"
    "Ugh, remind me not to drink so much next time. I have had the mother of all headaches this morning, and this arcade isn't helping much! How about you?"
    "Actually, I feel fine, but I had a lot less to drink than you did!"
    Brynn and Chandler sat around talking while the kids played in the arcade. When Chandler's cell phone rang, he got up from the table and walked outside to answer it. Brynn got bored when he didn't come back right away, so she picked up her phone and called Nyla.
    "Hey girl, haven't talked to you in a while, where've you been hiding?" Nyla asked her.
    "Oh, I've just been busy, you know, work and Barrett...How's everything with you?" Brynn asked.
    "I've been good. How's that neighbor of yours, and when are you going to set me up with him?" Nyla asked. She had asked the same thing every time Brynn talked to her since she met him at Barrett's birthday party. Brynn had been pretty good about being able to brush her off each time, but lately she was getting persistent.
    "Nyla, I don't think he is ready for any of that stuff. He's still trying to get over Brooklyn."
    "Well, it's not like I'm looking for a relationship from him, just a night of wild sex. Everyone needs that now and then," Nyla told her.
    "Not everyone," Brynn laughed. "I think you'd probably give him a heart attack or scare him away or something."
    "Well, anytime he wants to take me up on the offer, I'm available for him," she told Brynn.
    "I'll let him know, but I have to go now," Brynn said. They said their goodbyes, and Brynn hung up her phone.
    She wasn't sure why she had never told Chandler about Nyla's offers. If she was being honest with herself, she would have admitted that she didn't want to have Nyla be the first person that Chandler had sex with since Brooklyn's death. She wanted to be the first. She wanted to be the woman who made him smile, who made him laugh, and who drove him over the edge of his orgasm.
    Brynn started to blush as she thought about bringing Chandler to an orgasm. She chastised herself as she sat there, blushing like mad at the thoughts in her head. She needed to stop thinking about that. It wasn't going to happen.
    Meanwhile, Chandler was on his phone talking to his friend Zaiden. "No, man. I told you that Brynn and I aren't together. She and I are just friends. She's free to see whomever she wants." Chandler should have known that Zaiden would try to hook up with Brynn. He wanted to punch the wall behind him, frustrated that Zaiden was acting on his attraction to Brynn so fast, and that he was trying to go through Chandler to get to her.
    "Well, if you and she are just friends, you think you could set up a date between her and me? You think she'd go for me?" Zaiden asked.
    "Dude, I couldn't tell you. Why can't you just ask her yourself, and leave me out of it?" Chandler asked, trying to not let his irritation show.
    "Because I don't know her that well. Besides, I need you to put in a good word for me, buddy," Nate said. "Well, that is, as long as you meant what you said when you told me you were just friends."
    Chandler sighed. "I'll see what I can do. I'll talk to you later." He hung up the phone and walked back inside.
    Brynn looked at the scowl on Chandler's face as he approached the table, and got worried. "Is everything alright?"
    "Oh, yeah. Sorry. Zaiden just frustrates me sometimes. He was calling to ask about you."
    "About me? And that put you in a bad mood?"
    "I just hate it when he tries to use my friendship with him to get what he wants," he said, trying to cover up the fact that he was just annoyed that Nate had wanted to go out with Brynn. "So, he wants me to talk you into going out on a date with him, and I know he won't leave me alone until you say yes, so will you go, please?"
    "Zaiden was the loud one, right?" Brynn
