"i'm not playing any more games!" i complain angrily

"your just upset that your losing" Finn says smugly beside me

He's right.

I'm losing.

He's winning.

That annoys me and he knows it.

"Finn?" i ask

"let me guess, shut up?" he says with a grin

I sigh, "you know me so well"

All of a sudden Ryders phone starts ringing and his family appears on his screen.

"Hey mum!"

"Hey! How is everyone doing?" Kelly asks

"We're all good" Ryder says

"We're just ringing to tell you that Aces new car will be arriving soon" Raymond says

"I can't wait to see my new car" Ace says

"What car is it?" Bella asks him

"Jeep Wrangler" Ace says with a smile

My head snaps to meet Jordan's gaze and we laugh.

"What?" Ace asks confused

"Is there something you want to tell us?" I ask him and he furrows his eyebrows

"It's alright, we're all friends here" Jordan tells him and Finn lets out a loud laugh, catching on to what we are hinting at.

"What are you going on about?" He asks

Freya chuckles, "the jeep is a very popular car in the lgbt community"

"What!"

"What is it? Lettuce, bacon, tomato sandwich?" Raymond dad mutters confused and we all burst out laughing.

The older generation don't really get it as much as we do.

I gasp and smack Finns chest and everyone looks at me, "you didn't tell me that James was here!"

"You didn't ask" he says smiling

"You know how much I love your grandad, he's always been my favourite" i say and his smile drops from his face

"No, its lesbian, gay, bi, transgender" Ryder tells his grandad laughing

"Oh whatever I don't care, I'm seventy, I remember when life was simple in the 50s. Why can't people be who they want to be without all the labels, it just makes it more complicated" he says and i smile at him

"Hiya holly! How are you doing?" He asks smiling back at me

"Hi James, I'm good you?" I ask him

"I'm very well!" He says

"That's good to hear, how long are you staying in town for?" I ask him

James is from England, he visits a couple of times a year when he gets chance to. He still runs his company, well he tells his Raymond what to do even though he already knows.

Bless him, he doesn't want to retire because he loved the company so much but mom told me they Raymond is forcing him to because James is getting stressed a lot and they are worried it might have an effect on his health.

"For a couple of weeks, how are your parents doing?" He asks me

"They are good, I think they are glad we are out of their hair for a bit" i say and he chuckles
