You’re a dick.
Easton
That’s not nice.
Grayson
You going to cry to Mom?
Easton
Maybe, I am her favorite.
Grayson
You wish.
I’m chuckling at my screen but am done with the back and forth with Easton. This has been our entire lives, but right now I want to talk to Rae.
She answers on the first ring, her smiling face filling my screen.
“Hey Sunshine.” I smile back instantly at the sight of her.
“Hey, I saw your game,” she cringes.
“And?”
“And saw some rumors about afterwards.”
“Yeah, I think it’s safe to say he’s going to be suspended.”
“Sounds like it’s for the best. How are you doing?”
“I’m talking to you, I’m great.”
Rae shakes her head with a smile, trying to hide her blush. “Stop it.”
“Never.”
Fuck, I love her. I love the way she blushes, the way she smiles. How she has the ability to calm me as soon as I see her blue eyes looking at me.
I’m about to tell her, but the first time can’t be through Facetime; that’s not what she deserves. “Are you excited for the award show?” I ask instead.
“I’m excited to be going with you and Asher.”
“If you change your mind and want to just go with him you can.”
“No. I want this.”
I nod, knowing she means it. There’s no hint of nervousness in her voice.
“Plus, you both can meet Noah and not be so weirdly protective about me working with him,” she jokes.
I shake my head. “Asher is more worried about Noah than I am.”
“You have a protective side too, and I like it.” Her teeth sink into her bottom lip.
“Anything for you, Sunshine.”
