Anna I wake up the following morning and feel terrible. I slept in the room belonging to both me and Robin. Since I'm not comfortable with him, Robin slept in the guest bedroom. Again. "I'm a lousy excuse for a wife..." I mutter to myself as I reach for the new cellphone Robin got me. My phone m
"I'm going to head to the gym later. I took a run this morning with Maddox, a teammate of mine, and later, we will train together. There is no football practice today." "I see." His eyelashes flicker when he considers me. "Can I tell you something personal about yourself?" My round cheeks lift wi
"Alright," I swallow thickly. "Tell me everything. If I cheated on you, then I want to hear it... Even if I can't remember it." Clouds disperse in his eyes. Whatever is on Robin's mind is something that causes him great pain. He looks torn. "You didn't cheat on me, Anna. You and I broke up before
Anna Robin is at the gym with his teammate Maddox, and I just got out of the therapist's office. I took a cab here earlier, and now after my appointment, I'm standing in the parking lot while it's pouring outside. The weather is rather chilly, and I shudder as I stare at my phone. Robin told me
Beg him to come back to me?! What kind of reason is that for cheating?! Ugh, I hate this! I also don't remember making up with Lars—how can he be so insensitive to approach me like this?! "Lars, please... I'm begging you..." I'm crying now. "Just step back, please? You're scaring me right now."
Anna Stacy is standing by the reception desk, watching me as I sit on one of the couches. I don't know why, but for some reason, I'm nervous as I press Robin's number. What if he gets annoyed by me calling him? Shit, less overthinking—more acting! I press my phone to my ear, breathing fast whil
Anna My heart is racing, and it feels like my ribcage is a little too small or my heart a little too big. I'm so scared of what Robin might say. Does he think that I'm being silly right now? The beautiful man in front of me would never throw me out of the house. No, Robin is too kind, but what
I stroke a brown strand away from his eye, whispering. "Can't I just enjoy you for one night without bickering about everything?" He chuckles while taking us up the stairs. "I don't know what has gotten into you, but I'm not complaining," his smile makes a reappearance on his lips. "I like when you
"You're doing great," Lynn tells me, and my chest swells when she looks at me with proud eyes. Her hand touches mine, and her lips curl into a sweet, adorable smile. "I know that you will be drafted. You train like an idiot, and football is the only thing on your mind, except for maybe some fishing.
Isaac It's been two months since Lynn and I started dating. Things have been going great. She comes to my football games, gets along with my mom, and I'm just constantly floating on pink clouds. But today, I can't make my stomach stop churning. I'm about to have dinner with Lynn and her parents.
Eventually, I wet my lips. "Can I... Can I hug you?" Isaac breaks out into a smile. "Of course." I don't waste a second. I push away the tray and launch myself at Isaac, who laughs in surprise when I tackle him to his back. I can't help it. I like him so much and immediately squeeze him in a bear
Lynn I don't know what to say when Isaac walks into the room. I know we both like each other now, but what do I tell him? How do I get into that topic? Do I say nothing at all and let him talk? My nerves are all over the place, and so are my thoughts. A shadow moves over me, and then Isaac stands
Lynn I wake up with a terrible headache and groan. "I'm never drinking alcohol ever again!" A snicker comes from above me, and I see Isaac's face when I open my eyes. We are lying in a bed together, and I'm nestled to his side, head resting between his pectoral muscle and muscular arm. "Good mor
Oh, I will. I stride forward. There is no space for me on the couch, but I force my way into a corner by lifting Lynn into my lap. She yelps in surprise and leans against me. Magnus glares at me, and I flash him a smirk when Lynn isn't looking. I'm such a lucky guy. Her butt rests on my thighs,
Isaac I stare at my reflection, trying to muster the courage needed to tell Lynn I like her more than a friend. We won our game earlier. Countless people are partying downstairs, but I can't go there. I'm not ready. For the billionth time, I point at myself. "You are a brave guy, and you will tel
I'm not petite, like... My mom is a Latina, and I have curves. I'm not ugly, though, but I get the feeling Isaac would want a small girlfriend. Sure, he calls me tiny, but compared to that blonde? I feel big. What if Isaac wants a more petite woman, like, even his mom is tiny? Isn't it scientifica
Lynn Two weeks after moving back home, I'm sitting on the football bleachers with Linnea and Natalie. Natalie's dad, Zane, is good friends with my dad. They used to be old teammates back when they played in the NFL. Linnea's dad is dead, but her brother used to play in the NFL too. "It's exciting
