"So this is the famous Candice." Mitchell sang as he walked over to Aaron and Candice.

"Yes, that is me." She smiled.

"You're Mitchell and you're Kevin." She said, pointing at each f them.

"Wow, I guess you weren't lying about having a girlfriend." Kevin teased Aaron.

"Been with this beauty for three years." Aaron bragged, wrapping his arms around her sideways, kissing the side of her head.

She made a face, earning laughs from his friends. They made their way into the placethey had reservations at. The waitress came over, asking what they'd like for drinks. She tried to flirt with Aaron, asking if he was sure he didn't want a beer, knowing damn well he was underage. Candice pursed her lips as she waited for the waitress to come to her.

"What can I get you?" Her tone changed.

Candice's brows creased. Aaron sighed, squeezing her knee. She took a deep breath. She'd been with Aaron for how long? She had no reason to get jealous anymore. Candice put on a smile before she looked up at the waitress, sitting up straight.

"I would love an iced tea, please." She spoke to the waitress.

She finished her writing and smiled at them. "I'll be right back with your drinks and I'll take your orders."

"Can you bring an extra coke? There's someone else coming." Kevin hummed at the waitress.

"Of course." She nodded before walking off.

"Who else is coming?" Aaron asked in confusion.

"The Legend himself." Mitchell grinned.

aron frowned. The guys had invited Brendan. He looked at Candice, who was staring at his friends over her menu, confused. She looked up at her boyfriend. He had his arm resting around the back of her chair. He smiled at her.

"Who's coming?" She questioned.

"It's,"

"A big surprise." Kevin interrupted. "Ah, our drinks."

The waitress distributed the drinks as everyone sat down their menus. She spilled a bit of Candice's, giving her a dirty look after. Candice just smiled, earning another knee squeeze from Aaron. The waitress looked at the menus sitting down and smiled.

"Are we all ready then?" Everyone mumbled and placed their orders. She wrote them down. "All together?"

"Ours is." Aaron spoke, gesturing between him and Candice.

The waitress's jaw clenched. Candice smirked a bit, patting Aaron's thigh. He leaned in and pecked her cheek. The waitress wrote harder on her pad. She asked Kevin and Mitchell some questions about how they'd like their meals.

"And a steak meal, medium, garden salad, mashed potatoes." A voice boomed as it walked towards them.

Candice watched a head walk behind the waitress. When he sat beside Mitchell, she knew who it was. The Legend himself, Brendan Lemiuex. Candice took a deep breath. He was grinning at her.

"Candy, how's Audrey doing without me?" He taunted.

"I prefer Candice," She hissed. "And really well. Her and Sam are doing great together."

"Sam finally hit that?" He cocked a brow.

"Better than this," She showed an inch distance between her thumb and finger. "Ever could."

Aaron started laughing. "Remember when Sam kicked your ass in our last game?" He attempted to change the subject. "Never would've thought Sammy was a fighter."

"Yeah." Brendan bit, bringing his lips to his straw. "So, Air, talk to Claudia lately?" His face turned evil.

Aaron and Candice both tensed up. Claudia. Brendan's younger sister. Brendan's very hot, younger sister. Brendan's very hot, younger sister, that Aaron once dated. Candice had to show that she was secure in this relationship. That they were secure. She gave Aaron's thigh a pat. He eased up.

"Not for about three years." Aaron felt his face flush when he said that. Candice smiled at him. "How's she doing?"

"Really good. She's into modeling now, found some actor that she's dating." Brendan nodded.

"Wow, props to her." Candice said sincerely.

"Yeah..." Brendan dragged out.

"Aaron usually has a thing for the model types." Mitchell began. "How did you two end up together?"

Candice tilted her head to the side, narrowing her eyes as she processed what was just said. What did that even mean? Was she not model status? She slowly looked over to Aaron who had the same expression as her.

"If you mean tall with the body of a teenage boy as model type, then I'm glad he expanded his horizons." Kevin said before he drank some pop

"Are you saying that about Claud?" Brendan spat.

"When Aaron was with her, yeah." Kevin snorted. "Just because Candice doesn't model or have any street cred doesn't mean she isn't Aaron's type."

"I'm sure it's about the personality." Mitchell smirked.

Candice took a deep breath, squeezing Aaron's thigh tightly. He grabbed her wrist, trying to loosen her grip. She exhaled and loosened it. She took a giant gulp of her iced tea before she stood up.

"I'm going to try the bathroom before we eat. Excuse me." Candice said through gritted teeth.

Aaron slowly let go of her wrist as she walked out of reach. He watched her walk to the bathroom before he turned and glared at his friends. They were all acting like jackasses. He finished his drink before he slammed the cup down. The other three froze, looking over at him. He had one of the fiercest looks they had ever seen.

"Looks like you're about to break that cup, Ekky." Kevin said as he sipped from his straw.

"Are you three fucking done?" Aaron hissed.

"Huh?" Mitchell frowned.

"Not usually my type?" Aaron furrowed his brows. "What's my type, Mitch?"

"We explained that, Air,"

"You shut the fuck up." He spat at Brendan. "You come in here, knowing she doesn't fucking like you, and then bring up Claudia. What the fuck is your problem?"

"We were just kidding around." Kevin frowned.

"Yeah, come on." Mitchell laughed. "Lighten up! We like her, Aaron."

"We won't tell her about any of the other girls." Brendan taunted, causing the other two to laugh.

Candice froze. She sat in the booth behind them, listening carefully. Aaron better have not had anyone else at during their relationship. She was not opposed to murdering him in a public place.

Aaron smacked his hands down, standing up. "I don't have girls. I have one girl and I'm in love with her. She's perfect and I'm happy and all I want is to see her and hold her and kiss her and spoil her and no other girl is worth ruining that."

Candice stood, turning to their booth. "Aaron," She grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down.

"You fucks don't even deserve to know her." He said, pulling Candice into his side. "You owe her an apology."

"For what?" Brendan exclaimed.

"Being donkeys." Aaron yelled

"I'm sorry, Candice. You seem like a great girl, we just like to get him worked up." Mitchell admitted.

"That's really all it is. Sorry if we offended you at all." Kevin added.

Aaron looked to Brendan. He rolled his eyes. "I'm sorry about anything I said and making mean comments about Audrey."

Candice smiled. "No worries guys. The waitress was pissing me off the most."

"She was really flirting!" Kevin exclaimed.

Candice rolled her eyes. "Girls never learn."
