Plan to conceal their relationship (4)

Derek returned from the bedroom after a minute and sat on the sofa chair. He saw that Mia and Hunter are looking at him expectantly, so he lifted his chin slightly, indicating to them to speak.

"I hope you are not playing, man.", Hunter said in a hushed voice so that Angela does not overhear them.

Hunter knew that if Ashton finds out Angela spent the night here and Derek was messing, Ashton will create a huge mess. Considering that many people know Angela left the nightclub with Derek, it is only a matter of time before that news reaches Ashton. In addition to that, if Derek is not serious about dating Angela, Hunter will not like him much either. Angela is not some no-name girl. All of them know her as Ashton's baby-sister, a cheerful girl who would not hurt a fly, and they are all somewhat protective of her.

"I'm not playing.", Derek responded seriously, and his lips lifted into a smile. "We are dating."
