“So, I’m like, sitting there at the end of the night and the check comes. I do like always and reach for it like I’m going to see what my share is because I’m all for goin’ dutch if that’s what a guy is expecting. He didn’t even touch it, didn’t offer, nothing. This guy has to be loaded, too, Nick.” Chesney let out a long sigh, leaning back and pulling her hair all to one side. 

“I buy dinner, drop an easy sixty bucks on it before the tip, and then I realize as I get in my car that he never once even asked me a question. Not a single one! He doesn’t know anything but my name and who my daddy is.” She shook her head. “I didn’t even get to talk about Murphy. I had to listen to him talk about investment banking and the stock exchange for two hours, paid for dinner, and this guy didn’t even ask me if I had pets. Remind me never to let my dad set me up on a blind date again.”

Nicholas Gates was the perfect guy to have around to blow off steam with. The balance of flirtatious teasing and friendly support was near perfect and she never had to worry about what she would say or do and how he’d take it. Back in the eighth grade, Lou and Nick tried dating because it seemed like everyone was insisting they needed to. The one-week relationship was nothing special, mostly just two really good friends who occasionally held hands. They ended it before they even got to the kissing part, and both of them agreed they were better as friends.

Louella was three shots in by the time Nick showed up, and she matched him drink for drink once he got there. She wasn’t one to get drunk very often, but she’d had a long week filled with plenty of stress and needed to wind down in style. Lining up her shot, she looked up from where she was bent over and winked at Nick. The game was nearly over but that didn’t mean there wasn’t a good chance for either of them to come back and win it. When the ball didn’t go into the hole, Lou pouted and stood up. She watched him get ready for his shot and as soon as he was about to take it, Lou cleared her throat. “So you went and took Jules on a date, I heard. What the hell, Gates? I thought I’d at least be the first Dunn you took out.”

Arlow was trying his best to keep a good face as he walked into the practice that he had always dreamed to have, and it would’ve been entirely different if his father had not decided to wait to that very morning to tell him Nicholas Gates, former best friend, currently... Well not his favorite person, was also working there and that they would have to work elbow to elbow. Even tho he knew he would eventually come across him he had thought of it as rather latter than sooner, but his father resilience to get the duo that once upon a time ran circles of havoc around the old man back together was unwavering even after all those years. “Good morning everyone,” He said to everyone, but the moodiness was clear on his face. but as he scanned the room he though perhaps he could just hide in his office for the rest of the day and avoid the inevitable. But as he turned around he realized there was no avoiding Nick after all. His jaw clenched as a reflex and his whole body became tense, here they go.
