I’m also working on what’s next for me.

What’s next for him is a flight to Florida. Chris is going to be out that door in five minutes. Maybe this is my one shot with him. But do I just say Hey, you want to do this again? And maybe again? I don’t entirely have the best track record of consistency with Chris, but then I don’t know if he does either when it comes to the stuff I want—to be important to someone. To matter.

I want to be the guy someone depends on, and I want someone to rely on me. I also want to get him naked for a good long while.

As I search his cool blue eyes for an answer to all my own questions, I desperately want the answer to be . . . him and me.

But I only have a chance of getting that if I have the guts to ask a big question.

I gear up for it, working through options in my head. Want to meet on an off day during spring training?

But that sounds like too much too soon.

Want to do this again in six weeks?

And that feels like I’m planning too far ahead.

Chris Garnett isn’t known for that.

He’s the just for fun guy. He’s the guy who wants to get me in bed. Out of it—who knows?

But, hell, I like the man. More than I expected. More than I’m prepared to. And I wish I could be as fearless in romance as I am at the plate.

Maybe I can try though. Take a step toward him.

“So, what do you think about maybe playing pool sometime?” I ask, figuring I’ll use his words from that September game when he asked me to play.

“Holy shit. It’s Spencer and Garnett!”

I cringe.

I jerk my gaze away from Chris, and into the eyes of a big dude with a big booming voice and a thick Queens accent. He’s not alone. The guy’s got an entourage with him. Four other dudes, in baseball jerseys, a mix of Gothams and Union. The big dude points from Chris to me. “I thought you guys hated each other. Did you, like, make up?”

The back of my neck prickles. Shit. Did they see us conducting a kissing clinic a few minutes ago? That’s not exactly how I wanted to go public with my, ahem, change of heart about my rival.

The last thing I want is for the whole damn city to know I’ve got it bad for him, only for him to walk away.

My jaw ticks, and I try to summon up a PR perfect answer. But none comes.

Chris laughs easily, then fires up that smile, clapping me on the shoulder, bro-dude style. “We’re working on it. We’ve been debating how far the Knicks are going this year, but it seems we disagree on that.”

“But you guys are, like, hanging. That’s awesome. Putting the bad blood behind you,” another fan says.

Yeah, I’d say we did that.

In the studio.

On the couch.

Here in this booth.

Chris
