“There’s more to a relationship than sex.”
Don’t get me wrong. Do I want to bury my cock deep into Addy? Hell yeah. But I’m enjoying getting to know her, too. She’s funny and sassy and responsible and hard-working. She’s more than a good time.
“Tell me more.” Tanner lays on his stomach in the sand in front of me, rests his chin in his hands, and kicks his feet out behind him. He thinks he’s being cute. He has cute and annoying confused.
I throw a handful of sand at him. “I’m not telling you shit.”
He jumps to his feet and sprints to the water. “Last one in is a rotten egg.”
No one follows him.
Nolan sighs. “He has no clue how deep of shit he’s in.”
Corbin grunts in agreement.
“If he weren’t such an excellent wide receiver, I’d dump his ass.”
I shake my head. “No, you wouldn’t. You enjoy a challenge.”
“Speaking of challenges.” He stands and marches away.
“What challenge?” I ask Corbin.
“No idea. Which is how I prefer it.”
“And why you’re not staying at the resort with everyone else.”
He shrugs. “I enjoy my peace and quiet.”
Personally, I prefer having my teammates around. There’s always someone to grab a meal with, go for a run with, or work out with. I’ve spent enough of my life alone.
Tanner splashes out of the waves and races toward us.
“Speaking of alone.” Corbin stands and gathers his things.
I gather my things as well. I need a shower before I meet up with Addy. And I should probably let her know of my plans to see her.
I wait until I’m back in my room to message her.I have a surprise for you.
If it’s another coffee and Siren’s Snap cookie, I’ll love you forever.
Those words hit me in the chest. How would it feel to have a woman love you forever? To be loyal. To not give you up. To stand by your side and cheer you on.
I’ll pick both up on my way to meet you.
I tap my foot as I wait for her to answer. Finally, the dots appear.
Today doesn’t work. Otis has a football game.
And she’s going to watch his game. She’s such a good and loyal sister. Too bad she doesn’t realize how lucky she is to have siblings.
Football? You said the magic word.
You don’t want to watch a youth game. Trust me on this.
I love youth games. I used to play in those games.
Why not?
