“Ignoring all the whispering couples around him, Vaughn taught me to bowl while I faked like I cared. We were both on the outs and I suspected he wanted to find a new buddy now that Judd was attached to his angel. Every time Tawny laughed, Vaughn’s frown darkened.
“You should be happy for them,� I said as he guided me towards the alley.
“I am. Fucking overwhelmed with happiness. Now, pay attention.� When I flinched at his tone, Vaughn sighed. “It gets boring when your best friend is busy mating like a rabbit.�
“My best friend ditched me too, so I found new friends. Maybe you should too.�
“Crap no. Sounds like too much effort.�
I grinned. “You could play with Bailey. Here, she comes.�
Vaughn didn’t even glance at the arriving blonde who threw her hands in the air. “I got dumped again! Men suck! I hate them all!� she cried, enjoying a hug from Tawny. “Who wants to set me up now?�
“I thought you hated men,� Tucker mumbled with his mouth full of a hot dog.
“I do, but one of them has got to work, right? Everyone in the world gets someone good, but I get shit. It’s not fair. I’m nicer than anyone ever.�
This comment elicited laughter from the crew including Vaughn who took my bowling ball and rolled it for me.
“Look,� he said,� you got a strike. I’m an excellent teacher.�
“Best ever.”
