Chapter Eighteen

Gemma

In general, I don’t like or understand sports. One team of egotistical men play around near a team of another team of egotistical men’s private parts, usually, and the ones with the most points win. It’s first grade all over again, and it boggles my mind that it’s one of the biggest money making industries in our country, let alone the world.

Most of the time, I find sports boring. Hours long of the same thing over and over, and most of the time teams fail more than they succeed. I’d much rather watch an interesting or funny show, but men love watching other men run around chasing balls, so as a rule, I have gone on some sports-related dates.

I’m not bummed whatsoever, though, when Cody asks me to the Yankee game with him on Thursday night. Baseball is the one sport I do like. There is enough time to get steadily buzzed and check out hot men, because you can actually make them out on the field. And, he prefaces the date by saying that he has a corporate suite. Which means no standing in long gate lines, sitting on uncomfortable seats, walking the concourse to find the food you want, or having to share space with disgusting, rude fans.

Oddly, I’m a little nervous. Cody is hot, and I mean makes-your-nipples-hard-on-the-first-look hot. He has that innate sexiness that some men just have; he exudes it, it can’t be learned. I’m also still a little peeved about Oliver, who I haven’t heard from since the kickball tournament on Sunday. He barely spoke to me there, leaving me on my own to mingle. He hadn’t seemed to even notice Cody talking to me, and hadn’t texted a thank you for sparing my entire Sunday to come out to his work event.

Whatever, at least I knew that fuck buddy just meant exactly that going forward. Cody was more intimidating to me than Oliver though. Oliver was Oliver; I didn’t know how to explain why it felt easy to be around him. With Cody, I was a bundle of nerves getting ready. Were my curls falling just right, why couldn’t both sets of eyelashes look the same and be fuller? Was my outfit, a navy blue sun dress and jean jacket, casual but also date appropriate?

Cody was successful, very much so. And he was whip smart as the director of IT. He knew he was good-looking, I could tell that much from talking to him. But I had a very good sense of people, or at least I thought I had before I’d started dating this summer. If my intuition was right, he was just the right amount of cocky to be confident. Just the right amount that kept women coming back for more.

When he’d called on Monday, just the day after we’d met which was a good and polite sign, and asked me to the game, I had something to look forward to all week. Especially after Dani came in gushing on Tuesday morning about how she was moving in with her latest boy toy after just two months of dating.
