CHAPTER EIGHT

BRAXTON

I woke up Saturday morning stoked. I was ready for this fight and I was ready to put that ring on Emmi’s finger. She was still asleep when I got up and I tried to be as quiet as I could so I didn’t wake her up. I was going to go out for a run and then pick Callie up to have breakfast with me. She was the last person I wanted to talk to before I popped the question to Emmi. I wasn’t necessarily asking for her blessing, but I wanted her to feel like she was a part of it somehow. I was getting ready to leave Emmi a note when I felt her standing behind me.

“Hey, good morning, beautiful.” I turned around and pressed my lips to hers.

“Mmm, good morning to you. What big plans do you have this morning?”

“I was going for a run and then go take Callie a ticket for my fight tonight. What have you got going on?”

“I was going to take pictures of the basketball team today.”

“The basketball team? They’re like 0 and 5, aren’t they?”

She laughed and said, “So that means they don’t deserve to be photographed?”

She grinned again and said, “Sorry, babe, the basketball team is waiting. Have a good run and tell Callie I said hi.”

Pouting, I said, “Okay, enjoy taking pictures of the Goliaths and remember where your ‘collection’ is being kept. I’ll see you tonight if I don’t catch you before.” I watched her walk down the hall and to the bathroom. It was a beautiful view. She turned around in the doorway of the bathroom and blew me a kiss.

I sighed and went to get a bottle of water from the fridge. I would have to run twice as long now to get rid of the pent-up frustration. When I got back from my run, Emmi was already gone. She had left me a note with a smiley face on it taped to my bedroom door. It simply said, “I love you.”

I showered and after I got dressed I put Emmi’s note in my pocket. Things like that let me know for sure that I loved her. I couldn’t imagine ever carrying a note someone else had written in my pocket and just being happy, knowing it was there. I grabbed my keys and headed over to pick up Callie.

She was waiting outside when I got there because she knew how much I hated having to go inside. The
