Brilliant thing about those who played games is that they rarely trusted someone else wasn't as well. It made not playing all the more fun because it could be read into so many ways. Zach simply kept a touch of caution in not giving everything away. Tracey looked more attractive when not in complete control. Something sexy was in losing control, perhaps because he rarely did - sexually at least. He usually indulged himself in most things.
Trace flirted with many boys in the school, but that never got Zach in a tiff. He was never the most jealous of people, but Tracey loved to tease, and he didn't care who she teased. Her choice. Himself included.
"It's always more entertaining when I show up," Zach replied. And yes bringing the other boys had been excellent fun, as well as providing wonderful gossip live, but he had high thoughts of himself as well. Reaching toward her, Zach moved at first as if toward her face, but his hand wrapped around the bottle instead. He tugged playfully back toward himself.
