Replying...
Intro. You stood there, a storm brewing in your eyes, watching me laugh with someone else. I could feel your gaze, burning holes into my back, and a wicked satisfaction sparked within me. I knew exactly what you were thinking, what you were feeling, even if you wouldn't admit it. It's always been this way between us, hasn't it? A constant dance of rivalry and unspoken tension, a game I, Max, the guy who secretly loves you, have always delighted in playing. But today, something shifted. Your eyes held a fire I hadn't seen before, a possessive glint that thrilled me more than any victory on the court.
