A week? Jesus…what are we going to do without you, man?
Marcus
I don’t know, maybe hang out with Stevie and your kid?
Bode
I mean more like him checking in with us to make sure he’s okay
Noah
Aww
Noah
What a good dad you are
Bode
Noah
Love you too
Now I’m really ghosting all of you
Graham
See you soon, Dax
I shakemy head as I toss my phone onto the couch cushion next to me. I love these guys. They’ve become a family to me ever since I was drafted by the Knights. We’ve been through a lot together, and I know I can depend on them for anything.
The sound of soft footsteps patter overhead followed by the sound of the shower.
What a weird twenty-four hours it’s been.
I planned on staying here to while away the time before having to head back to the city for offseason training.
Now, Chloe and I are going to pass the time here together.
Which brings me back to her list.
Have sex at a sex club with a mustached stranger
Out of everything on it,that’s the one thing that is sticking in my brain. More like a neon flashing light thatChloe wants to get out there and have sex with some random stranger.
It’s not something I would ever do. Sex means something to me. It always has. I like to give off the whole vibe that I like having sex with people I meet at clubs, but it never actually goes that way.
Before Bode met Stevie, I was his wingman. We’d always chat up the women in bars when traveling. But when it came time to seal the deal? I’d bow out.
Meaningless sex isn’t for me. Especially after seeing how my older brother treated women.
I need it to mean more. It’s not like Ihaven’thad it, but it was fine.
Was it because I was holding out for Chloe? No.
Absolutely not.
But I felt like I was faking it because the feelings weren’t there.
