CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

New Friends

Reese

Two months later…

“I for one am so happy to see Nico smiling again,” Shannon says with a glow on her pretty face. She looks amazing as she holds her adorable little boy in her arms.

“I know right,” Pam nods. “I was so worried about him. Girl, I don’t know what you are putting on him, but don’t stop. Nico is so much fun when he is happy.”

I throw my head back and laugh. My girls that I gew up with are my rock, but I have come to love these women as well. The wives of Nico’s brother and friends are all women to be reckoned with. Since the reveal of the clinic, two months ago, I have been meeting up with them for their weekly get-togethers.

The first time, I felt Valentina watching me around all of the children. It was like she was waiting for me to freak out or something. I appreciate her wanting to protect my feelings, but I was just having a bad day that time I blew up. I am in a much better place now.

Luckily, Val has stopped treating me with kid gloves and I feel like I fit right in. “I think he makes me smile more than I make him smile,” I coo and sigh.

“So you did it,” Val smiles. “You got him back on the field.”

My smile falters a little. Yes, Nico is practicing with the team again. Will he play, it is looking very likely. However, I still feel he has rushed things. He gave me two extra months to work out the last of his limp and he was right at the club talking with his coach and getting back to practice. I worry about him.

He has just been working on conditioning and getting used to playing with the team in practice, but I can see he is itching to play in a real game. I don’t want to see him over do it. Our first argument was about just that.

“He is stubborn as hell isn’t he,” Shannon frowns. “I can see it in her face,” she turns to Valentina to say. “I told you, I thought he was rushing it. He wasn’t ready was he?”

I huff out a heavy breath. “It’s not that he isn’t ready. Nico is strong and determined. If it were up to his mind only, I wouldn’t have a problem with him being on the field. I just…sometimes I wonder if I would be so worried if he wasn’t my boyfriend and other times I wonder if I took it easy on him because of that fact. What if he goes out there and I didn’t do enough? I think I am driving myself insane.”

I place my face in my palms and groan. I have been warring not just with Nico, but myself as well. In truth, I know I did a damn good job. None of the doctors would have cleared him to get anywhere near the field if I hadn’t, but that doesn’t make me worry any less.
