headrest. I can’t believe I fucked everything up with Chelsea at the end of the night. She was on the verge of caving in to me, too.
“Did your girl end up coming home with you?” Goddamned Shane.
“No.”
“Leave him alone, Lucky.” Alli speaks up.
I look over to see Alli gazing intently into Shane’s eyes.
“I am lucky, aren’t I?” He whispers to his new fiancé, nuzzling his face in the crook of her neck. And then she giggles from his affection.
Fuck me. This plane can’t take off and land soon enough. I am not in the mood for all this mushy shit. Not today. Not when I know I will be left alone for the rest of my life.
We landed an hour ago in Atlanta. We barely have enough time to check in at our hotel, change into practice attire, and get to the field for a practice before tomorrow afternoon’s game.
I can see Alli sitting in the stands getting exclusive access to watch us practice and I’ll admit that I keep expecting Chelsea to just somehow pop up next to her. I never expected myself to be in this predicament. It sucks. I’ve never had to chase a woman before and I don’t think I’m liking this feeling one bit. For the first time in my life I want a woman around for more than just a few hours and she wants nothing more than to just run in the opposite direction.
“Dude, get your ass in gear!” Cal yells from the dugout.
I shake my head and erase all thoughts of Chelsea out of my mind. It’s time to focus. My career is on the line here.
Practice ended up being a success and I have no doubt that tomorrow’s game will be a win for us.
“Want to join us for dinner?” Shane yells over his shoulder as we all make our way to our respective hotel rooms. Alli, Rob, Cal and some other chick hanging on Cal’s arm continue walking as they discuss local restaurants. I have no idea how Shane can walk in the same room with Alli on his arm and Cal walking no less than three feet away. Cal and Alli sort of dated before her and Shane got together. Maybe there wasn’t much to it, but I’ll tell you right now, if Chelsea was wrapped in my arms, I wouldn’t want her ex anywhere near us.
“No. I think I am just going to order in tonight. It’s been a long day and I didn’t get much sleep last night.”
I see Alli swivel around to look at me, she opens her mouth but then doesn’t say a word. I think she feels sorry for me. She’s mentioned several times over the past month or so that Chelsea just needs time. Time for what? I don’t know. I don’t plan on giving up though, because I know without a doubt that she is the one I want in my life. I just don’t know how to go about making that happen.
“Alright man,” Shane turns back around and wraps his arm around Alli’s waist. “Come on, beautiful. Let’s change and go grab some grub. I’m starving.”
Coach spins around and points his finger in my direction. “Just don’t forget to set your damn alarm this time. I don’t want to have to come chase you down again.”
“Aye, aye, captain.” I salute him before sliding my room key into the door.
I hear Cal mumble something under his breath, but I can’t quite make out what he said. I have no interest in finding out either, so I continue into my room, shut the door and immediately strip off all my clothes.
I need a hot shower to rinse off the grime and then maybe make my way down to the hotel’s sauna and hot tub to relax my muscles.
I call room service and ask them to send up a turkey club and three bottles of water. I need to rehydrate after today.
I take a quick shower and just as I am changing into my swim trunks, I hear a knock at the door. “Room service,” I must take too long getting to the door because the kid announces, “This is the kitchen service, we have your order for you.”
I throw on a black t-shirt and make my way to the door. I see a young kid maybe eighteen or nineteen. He’s staring at me with his mouth hanging wide open. “Hey, um, yeah sorry
