Chapter Twenty-Two

Rico

“Have you heard how her date went?” I ask Wes at practice on Wednesday. Gray hasn’t arrived yet, and I’m wanting to find out everything I can before she gets here.

“She called me after he dropped her off, and she couldn’t stop talking about him,” Wes answers. “Al, man, she likes him. Be happy for her.”

“I am happy for her,” I tell him, but know I’m not being completely honest. “I’m just worried about her.”

“Ethan is a great guy,” Wes assures me. “I wouldn’t have let Gabe introduce them if he wasn’t.”

“I think she should invite him to one of our after practice pizza parties,” Wren says from behind me and I start a little. I didn’t hear her walk up.

“Do we really want him subjected to these hoodlums?” Nadia asks and I narrow my eyes at her. “Let them get to know each other and see where this is going before she brings him into our group. If it’s not serious, then he doesn’t need to meet the family.”

“She’s already met some of his family,” Wes tells us, and I frown. “The place he took her for lunch is owned by his family.”

“That was risky,” Wren says, and Nadia nods her agreement.

“Risks have their rewards,” Wes says then nods toward the door. “Look at the smile on her face.”

“She hasn’t looked that happy since before everything happened with her mom,” Wren says, and I shake my head. I will try to be a supportive friend. For her, I can do this.

“Hey, Gray,” I call out in greeting as she nears us.

“Sorry I’m late, everyone. I was talking to Ethan,” she says and blushes.

“Shouldn’t he be at practice, too?” Wes asks with a raised eyebrow.

“He is, but he called to ask me something,” she answers.

“What did he ask you?” Wes asks with a knowing grin on his face. Something is up with him, and I want to know what.

“He wanted to know if I’d go to the swim team’s party with him on Saturday night,” she answers and Wes’ face cracks in a huge smile.

“You said yes, right?” He asks and she nods. “Yes! That means I won’t be stuck talking about swimming all night.”

“I thought you liked talking about swimming,” I say, and he grins.

“I do, but I also like to talk about other things,” he says. “Like bowling, and boys.”

“Which is why you’ve become my best friend,” Gray says and lightly punches Wes on the arm. “Now, let’s practice.”

“Yes,” Coach says and looks at Graycen. “I’m putting you head to head with Micah today. He has the highest average on the team, and I want to see how you do against him.”

“I’ll give it my best shot,” she responds. She’s only out bowled Micah once, but I know she can do it if she sets her mind to it.

“Joy and Xander, Brennon and Al, Wes and Ryder, Wren and Jaylen, and Nadia you’re bowling against the blind today. Got it, everyone?”

“Yes,” Brennon says and holds out his fist to me.
