Keeping Score

She nodded. “Whatever it takes.”

“You forgive me for not telling you?”

She bit her lip. “I do.”

I slapped her on the ass. “Good. Then I’ll see you after clubs tonight.”

“Oh, do we have plans or something?”

I paused in the doorway. “Did I forget to tell you we’re going out with the team?”

“What?”

I nodded. “Yeah. Wear something very slutty. Very revealing and something you can be fucked in very easily.”

“Hawk.”

“Oh, yeah, sorry. See you later, baby.”

“Joe, Aaron, Donnie meet Julie. Julie meet Joe and Aaron and Donnie.” Hawk introduced me to a huge table of people, pointing them each out.

“Nice to meet you all,” I responded, wishing they all had nametags. How would I ever keep them all straight?

I was glad he had opted for another club other than Catch. I knew it was the Sharks favorite watering hole, but I didn’t think I could hold my head up there.

Hawk pulled out a chair for me and lowered to my ear.

Hawk ordered a cosmo for me and a round of beers for his friends.

There was mostly football talk. I couldn’t blame them. They were excited. The playoffs were a huge deal.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw two girls walk toward us.

“Savannah! Amelia!”

The guys got up to greet them. I had tried to talk field goals and pass rushes, but I was failing miserably. Maybe these girls spoke my language of books and Netflix.

Savannah sat next to me. “You’re his agent?” I asked.

“The one and only,” she smiled.

“It’s nice to finally meet you. And thank you,” I whispered.

“Thank me?”

Everyone else was talking. They weren’t paying attention to our conversation. Hawk was arguing about a play.

“Hawk told me about what you’re doing to help get the paperwork going for Hunter. I don’t know what to say. I’ve been trying to adopt that little boy since I met him.”
