“I’m pissed off because…”
Jesus, I can’t say that.I can’t be that pathetic.
The Doctor studies me for a moment, and then I see it click in his eyes.
“You can’t be serious.”
“I haven’t a clue what the fuck I’m doing.All I know is I didn’t like what I saw.”
“Do you really think I could be interested in… in what?Those two morons?Some other player…?”
“I didn’t like them being here, naked in front of you, taking the piss out of you.”
“Are you jealous, by any chance?”he asks, hesitant, not really believing it, and neither do I.
“Don’t talk shit.”
The Doctor pushes away from the door, and I have to step back a few paces.
God, Doctor,you just don’t get it.
“I just don’t like sharing your attention.”
“I assure you, my attention is only on one player.”
Heat creeps up my neck as I nod.
“And if you don’t want your lads taking the piss out of you all season, you’d better get dressed and get out of here.”
“Why would they take the piss out of me?”
“Because I’m going to kiss you.”
My whole body trembles at the sound of his voice.
Please, Doctor,just do it.That’s all I want.
“Do you really think I’d be embarrassed to be kissed in front of the lads?”
He gives me a half-hearted smile.
“It wouldn’t be a show suitable for minors.”
“Then bring me back to yours.”
I only realise what I’ve said when I see the look on his face.I want to leave with him right now.I want him to prove what he just told me.
“But don’t you live only a stone’s throw away?”
“I don’t give a shit.I want to go home with you.”
I need to know, right now, that for him, there’s only one player and only one man.
Chapter54
Martin
In the car, we sit in silence.Jamie stares out the window, his hands resting on his thighs, his fingers tapping in time with the music filling the space, almost matching the rhythm of my breathing.
