I couldn’t help but notice Anna glaring at Courtney.
Yep, she certainly noticed something between Reed and Court.
Just then, I felt the hairs on my back stand up. I looked around.
“You okay, babe?” Layton asked.
“Yeah, I’ve just had the strangest feeling that someone has been watching me all day. It’s nothing. I’m being paranoid over nothing. ”
We spent the rest of the game laughing, drinking, and buying Kate more ice cream than she needed. I couldn’t believe how much Layton and Reed got into the football game. Reed’s younger brother played on the team, and Anna’s sister was a cheerleader.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if little Anna down there was a cheerleader herself. She looks like the type. ”
I looked at Courtney and rolled me eyes.
As the night went on, Reed and Anna were hanging on each other more and more. At one point, I swore Reed has his hand up her shirt.
I glanced at them, and they were kissing each other as Anna was sitting in Reed’s lap. When she pulled away, she moved her ass and lifted her eyebrows.
“Oh, please. ” Court rolled her eyes. “I think I’m going to puke. What a slut. I mean, Kate is sitting right next to them. Show a bit of restraint, for fuck’s sake. ”
Layton hit Reed on the shoulder and pointed to Kate. Anna got up and moved to sit next to Reed.
“I need a beer or ten. ” Courtney got up and made her way down the bleachers.
Reed jumped up and asked, “Does anyone want anything?”
“Ice cream!” Kate yelled.
“No more ice cream, Kate. I think we’re going to be heading out of here shortly,” Layton said as he hugged Kate and looked up at Reed.
Reed made his way down the bleachers and went in the same direction as Court. I glanced over toward Anna, but she was busy talking to Kate.
About fifteen minutes later, Courtney came walking back up the bleachers. I could tell she was upset, and it almost looked like she was about to cry.
When she sat down, I asked, “Hey, are you okay?”
>
“I hate him so much,” she whispered.
I didn’t even need to ask whom she meant. Reed came walking up and looked directly at Courtney before turning and smiling at Anna. He handed her a Frito pie and a beer.
“Layton, I think I’m ready to leave,” I said.
He jumped up and grabbed Kate’s hand. Clearly, he had been ready to leave for some time now.
“Say good-bye to Reed, Kate. We’re leaving now,” Layton said as he reached and shook Reed’s hand. “I’ll call you tomorrow. I’m gonna need help with the cattle if you’re free. ”
Reed nodded. “Yeah. You know I’m always ready when you are. ”
Kate gave Reed a long hug good-bye before taking Layton’s hand.
I reached down to hug Courtney good-bye. “Will you be at home this weekend?” I asked with a wink.
She shook her head. “I’ll probably see you out at the ranch. I don’t want to be alone this weekend with this weird feeling I’m having. ”
I gave her a weak smile. A part of me thought she just didn’t want to be alone, thinking about Reed with Anna.
