The Assistant Coach Thirty-Six |Kohl Warren|
I heave my heavy duffle bag in the carrier on the side of the bus with the rest of the team, the weight of the upcoming game barely registering to me. Greeley is a three-hour drive from here, and we're all packed in for the long drive. Leia is here, of course, and then there's her redhead friend. I can't help but clench my jaw as I think back to last night. I know I shouldn't be mad at her, but fuck it, I am.All three kisses we've shared were her idea, her initiative. But last night, things got a little out of hand. She was drunk, and if I hadn't kept my self-control, who knows what might have happened. It's frustrating as shit. "Why the long face?" Owen's voice breaks through my thoughts, his arm slung casually over my shoulder as he yawns. "I'm just tired," I mutter, shaking off his arm as I watch Tim pestering Ant about some ridiculous plan to get a dog. Like we could even have one in the dorms. And Owen is really the one he should be asking.My eyelids are heavy, the weight o

What is wrong with me? I can't help but wonder as I sit here, nursing my wounded pride. He's a playboy, that much I know. So why did I expect him to remember what I did last night? Stupid, I know. But somehow, it stings more than it should. I wasn't even drunk when I made my move. No, I did it because I finally came to terms with the fact that I like him. And because I wanted to see if he remembered, considering how wasted he was. He shut me down, claiming I was too intoxicated. But was that the real reason? Or was it simply because I'm not his type? The thought leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. "Are you okay?" Ari's concerned voice breaks through my thoughts. I force a smile, masking the turmoil inside me. No, I'm not okay."Whose coat is that?" Ari's question draws my attention to the soft black fabric draped around me. It smells like him. Warren. Despite everything, it's comforting. I don't even care that I'm wearing it. I just want to wrap myself in its warmth and forget abo

I've been running on fumes for the past two nights, surviving on caffeine and stress. I aced two tests today, much to my own surprise. Ari keeps telling me to relax and take it easy, but who has time for that when I'm juggling too much? I can't tell if Warren is intentionally avoiding me or if I've been so wrapped up in my own world that I haven't noticed him for the past week. He used to pester me constantly, but lately, it's like we're strangers. It's a strange feeling. As I wander aimlessly around the campus, trying to find my way back to my dorm, everything seems to blur together. I collapse by a small water fountain, my head spinning with exhaustion. I bury my face in my hands, trying to shake off the sleep that threatens to consume me. The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the courtyard, creating a peaceful atmosphere that contradicts the chaos in my mind. I can hear the faint sound of laughter and chatter from other students, but it all feels distant and muffle

It's been a damn long week since that disastrous night with Leia. I can't shake the image of her disappointed face out of my mind.Stupid, stupid me for opening my big mouth and ruining everything. I never wanted us to be just Coach and Athlete. I wanted more, but I screwed it all up. Every practice since then has been a painful reminder of my own stupidity. Leia still looks as beautiful as ever, but she won't even glance in my direction now. I get it though. I hurt her. I can see it in the way she avoids me like the plague. I try to focus on the practice, passing the puck to Ant, but my head is all over the place. Kateb swoops in and steals the puck, scoring effortlessly. I don't even bother to try and get it back. What's the point? Ari is on the sidelines, cheering us on with her usual enthusiasm, but I can't find it in me to care, not that I ever did to begin with. I skate around the ice, feeling like a complete idiot.I almost wish Leia would start crying again, just so I cou

I watched in concern as Warren walked off campus, probably fuming over the fact I called him Kohl. Part of me wanted to make sure he was okay, but then I remember I have this annoying pest standing in front of me. "Why are you always bothering me?" I groan, my eyes narrowing as they land on Adam's face. I can't help but notice the fresh cut running from his left cheek all the way up to his eyebrow. It's like a neon sign screaming 'trouble'. Adam catches me staring and flashes me a cocky smirk. "I got into it with a crazy chick," he mutters nonchalantly, as if it's the most normal thing in the world. I take a moment to really look at him. Despite his apparent lack of sanity, he is quite handsome. I can't help but notice all the little details about him. His eyes are a dull brown, not exactly captivating, but they fit perfectly with his dark eyebrows. And those cheekbones, even with the fresh cut running up to his eyebrow, are pretty niceAnd his lips, smooth and pink, are full an

I snatch the warm toast from the toaster, not giving a damn about whose it is. The loud blare of the hockey game on TV drowns out any chance of having a coherent thought. "Turn that down, you dipshit!" Owen's voice bellows from upstairs, causing Rocky to jump in surprise. Rolling my eyes, I reach for the strawberry cream in the fridge, grabbing a butter knife as I do. Placing the cream on the counter, I stiffen when I feel a sudden slap on my backside. A soft chuckle follows, "Warren, did you secretly get buttock surgery?" Tim's teasing voice fills the room. "Is that my bagel?" Ant appears, scratching his head as he retrieves a small box from the corner drawer of the kitchen. I nod at Ant's question, trying to keep my cool even though I can feel my annoyance bubbling up inside me. Ant doesn't seem fazed, though. He just casually strolls around the counter and opens the balcony door with a nonchalant flick of his wrist before closing it behind him.I can't help but wonder what Le

I stick my hands out with a dramatic flair, my long hair swishing around as I move my body to the beat of Taylor Swift. The music blares through the speakers, filling the room with a catchy tune. Ari joins in, twirling me around as we both double over in laughter. I collapse onto the couch, gasping for air as she turns down the volume, her chest heaving from the exertion. "I appreciate the effort to cheer me up, but Taylor Swift?" I manage to say between deep breaths, raising an eyebrow in mock disbelief.Ari gasps dramatically, clutching her heart in mock hurt. "How dare you disrespect a Swifty like that," she says, flopping down beside me with a playful pout. "Why didn't you just tell him how you felt, Leia?" Ari's tone is filled with genuine concern as she watches me fiddle with my thumbs. Memories of Warren's touch flood my mind, causing a pang in my chest."What would I have said, Ari? 'Hey, thanks for being so understanding about our situation, but I actually like you'? Yeah

This situation is beyond awkward. Here we all are, at the movie theaters of all places. Like, huh? Oh, and everyone's here, by everyone I mean – Owen, Warren, Ant, Athena, Ari, and of course, Adam. How did we all end up here? Well, I caved and let Athena and Warren tag along with me and Adam because Warren wouldn't let it go. And to make things less awkward, I asked Ari to come along to try and diffuse the tension, but she just had to bring Owen into the mix. And then Owen dragged Ant along because apparently, he was depressed or whatever, even though that was clearly a lie! And to add insult to injury? We're stuck watching some sappy romance movie because Ari and Athena insisted on it. And as if that wasn't bad enough, I'm sandwiched between Adam on my right and Warren on my left. Can this night get any worse?"Give me some, stop hogging the popcorn," Athena says with a glare, reaching over all of us and grabbing the popcorn from Adam."I bought this, get your own," Adam reto

Leia WelshThree Years Later! I turn to the side, glancing at my reflection in the floor-length mirror. A soft smile spreads across my lips as I take in the sight of myself—four months in, and I'm showing so much already. My belly is swollen, round and firm, and my breasts feel heavier, straining against the thin material of my white dress. It's a simple dress, but it hugs me in all the right places, and for a moment, I feel beautiful. My gaze shifts to the ring on my finger, glimmering in the light. A warm feeling spreads through me, wrapping around my heart like a cozy blanket. The large emerald stone set in a delicate, floral band never fails to make me smile. It's more than just a ring; it's a promise, a beautiful reminder of how far we've come. I remember the first time Kohl kissed me—the way his lips felt soft and sweet against mine, his scent filling my senses like my favorite cologne. How is it possible that I never want to be without him? I've never been the kind of girl

Kohl WarrenTwo years later.I stand a few paces away, taking in the scene before me. The air is fresh, filled with the earthy scent of damp grass and the faint sweetness of blooming wildflowers. Leia sinks down onto her knees, the patchy wet grass squelching beneath her as the moisture seeps into her dark black leggings. She places her hands on her thighs, fingers splayed out like she's grounding herself, and closes her eyes, inhaling deeply.I can see her shoulders relax a little with each breath in, and I wish I could reach out and comfort her. But I know this moment is hers, a private conversation with the past, so I quietly stand by and watch. The sunlight bathes her in a golden glow, making her black hair shimmer like fresh ink. She had trimmed it months ago, but those soft curls still cascade down her back, brushing against her waist.When she finally opens her eyes, the sun catches in her emerald irises, making them sparkle with a mix of hope and sorrow."Hi, Mom," she whisper

I haven't really had a chance to talk to Leia much today, just some casual 'hey's' here and there, but it's driving me crazy. I can't stop thinking about why she didn't tell them how terrible that cup was. I wanted to be by her side when Reese hilariously shot gramps with a nerf gun bullet. I wanted to be close enough to catch a whiff of her scent and tell her how beautiful she looked. I hastily throw on my long gray winter coat and head downstairs, eager to get outside. Without anyone noticing, I slip through the doors and feel the cold air hit me. The snow is falling gently, but I pay no mind as I walk down the street, my thoughts consumed by Leia. Only her. And damn it, I completely forgot to give her the gift I have tucked away in my jean pockets. I had planned to give it to her on her birthday, but something held me back. Maybe it was the fear of having my heart broken. And then today, I couldn't give it to her, because she's going to break my heart. "Hey, slow down, you wa

He told me he loved me, and I couldn't bring myself to say it back. It's not that I don't love him too, but the words just couldn't come out. My heart was pounding all night, and I couldn't sleep a wink. I kept wondering if I should sneak into his room and tell him, but my body wouldn't let me. I'm awful. I hear a gentle knock on the door, and in walks Margret, looking stylish with her one-sided braid and black loose dress. She sits on the bed, concern written all over her face. "Did you two have a fight? Kohl was so quiet last night," she asks, making me feel guilty as I sit up because I'm the reason why he was so quiet, I'm the problem."He told me he loved me," I confess in a whisper as the words just come out of my mouth without thinking. Margret lights up with joy, then her expression shifts to worry when she sees my lack of enthusiasm. "You don't feel the same way?" she questions. I feel safe opening up to her, even though it's strange considering she's Warren's mom. She t

"That's not fair," Reese pouts as I slyly move the cone to make it harder for her to score a goal on me. "Life's not fair, kid," I chuckle, enjoying the competitive edge in her ten-year-old glare. "I say kick him!" Leia shouts from the porch, making Reese burst into laughter. Leia walks over to Reese, looking effortlessly gorgeous, and I can't help but admire her beauty. "Wow, you're so pretty," Reese says, her eyes sparkling as Leia kneels down to her level. "Not as pretty as you," Leia replies, causing Reese to blush and hide behind her hair, showcasing her cute freckles. I can't help but grin as Reese focuses on the soccer ball and kicks it, sending it directly into my groin. I drop to the ground, clutching my balls in agony. "Oh, I'm sorry uncle Kohl," Reese says apologetically as she rushes over to me, attempting to perform CPR while Leia stands by, laughing uncontrollably. I shoot her a glare, but she just keeps on laughing. "Score before he's back on his feet!" Leia sho

As we pull up the driveway of Warren's childhood home, I can't help but notice how extravagant it looks. I have no idea what his mother does for a living, but it must pay well. The three-story house is painted in a classy beige and white color scheme, with windows that give it an almost regal appearance. The driveway is packed with cars, six in total, and not a single one looks cheap. Even Warren's black G-wagon takes up a lot of space, but there's still room for two more cars. It's basically an eight-car garage, and I can't help but feel a little out of place next to all this luxury. "Don't worry, everyone here is pretty chill, except for the potential showdown between my aunt and mom," Warren says nonchalantly, causing me to raise an eyebrow. He grabs my suitcase from the trunk of his car, and I follow him up the cement path lined with bushes towards the large modern black door. The sound of laughter seeps out from inside, making me a bit nervous. But as if sensing my anxiety, W

"Are you sure they don't mind me crashing their Christmas party?" Leia questions, her eyes scanning the campus from the window as I struggle to stuff her oversized suitcase into the cramped trunk. "They're totally cool with it, trust me." I assure her, flashing a cocky grin before sliding into the driver's seat. Despite my confident words, Leia fidgets nervously in the passenger seat, smoothing out the wrinkles in the red flowery dress she borrowed from Ari. I reach over and give her hand a reassuring squeeze, trying to ease her jitters. Her smile, tinged with a hint of uncertainty, lights up her face, causing my chest to tighten in a way that is both exhilarating and terrifying. I start the car, the engine roaring to life as we start our journey to Kansas City for my mom's annual Christmas bash. The radio blares Miley Cyrus's "Wrecking Ball" as we speed down the highway, Leia tapping her foot along to the beat while I mutter comments about the song's questionable lyrics. I haven'

It's been a fabulous week with Warren after he won the finals. He's been crashing in my dorm every night since Ari hasn't been around a lot and because Athena jetted off to some third world country for a small vacation, yes, she took a vacation during the middle of the school year. How she manages to do that is beyond me, but hey, when your family's rolling in dough, perks like that come with the territory. Warren is still a raging horndog. His stay here has left me feeling like I've been hit by a bus, but I can't say I didn't enjoy every minute of it. Tim and Rocky on the other hand have been popping in and out for snacks, leaving me high and dry in the snack department. No more midnight munchies for me. Today, we're all heading to Martha's Diner for a change of scenery. I've picked out the perfect dress for the occasion, but with my body feeling like it's been through a marathon, I'm not sure if I should risk wearing it. Warren's wandering hands might just make a grand entrance

The arena is massive, even for someone like me who used to play hockey professionally. The stands stretch out, almost reaching to the point of filling thousands of people. Well, maybe not thousands, but there's definitely a good amount. Close to the high hundreds, at least. "Wow," Ari gasps in amazement as Athena passes her a cherry slushy. I can't believe it – there's even a food court here. My jaw practically hits the floor. "I didn't get you one because I figured you'd be in the penalty box, and I didn't think you'd want one," Athena explains as she sips on her blueberry slushie, which matches her vibrant hair. I nod in understanding. "True, but I'll snag one once we win," I declare with a nonchalant shrug. "So, uh, where are we supposed to sit?" Athena inquires, her eyes scanning the vast expanse of the arena. "Wherever the hell you want," I reply with a smirk. "Just steer clear of the enemy's turf." Athena's devilish grin fades at my words as she groans. Leaving them to
