Dash

BARCELONA- THAT EVENING

“I’m taking the rest of the week off. There’s an emergency back home, and I need to catch the next flight to New York,” I don’t ask, but I state emphatically before grabbing my gym bag and marching towards the door. Athena’s gone too far---she stepped over the line and backed me into a corner. The time has come to show my cards and drag her cheating ass home.

I shudder as I walk, picturing that damn photo in my mind- his arm on her waist and smiles spread across both their faces. The caption posted by someone calling themselves NumberSwiftOneFan, read: Love is in the air. Love is in the freaking air? What did this person see that made them so confident posting something like that?

I’m going to kill that girl. No, I’ll beat Wade senseless in front of her to teach her a lesson. I clench my fists and babble nonsense, grinding my teeth until the pain in my jaw reminds me that someone’s screaming at me from behind. “Dash! Hold on! You can’t leave. We play...Madrid...Fri...” Coach Moreno sprints with his clipboard in his hand, too winded to finish his sentence. He slides between me and the driver’s side door and holds his arms out---blocking me from lifting the latch.

I place my hands on his shoulders and move him to one side. I don’t have time for this. Every minute that flies by is another sixty seconds that Wade could be sexing up my woman. “Coach, I’ll be back by Thursday night. And if I’m not, fuck it. Use that idiot, Alberto. You obviously brought him here to upstage me. If he thinks he’s ready, let that little shit show you what he’s got.” I climb into the driver’s seat and turn on the ignition.

He throws himself on my hood and bangs his fists on the steel. “I didn’t hire him. The owners brought him in when you announced you’d retire next year. How can you leave me?” His red face and weepy eyes break my heart. He’s always been a great coach, but my time is near. I won’t be one of those athletes who keep playing long after his prime has come and gone.

“Coach, get a hold of yourself. I said I’d be back for the game. This is important. It could be the most important trip I’ve ever taken. The team will be fine without me.” I lie through my teeth but hope it’s true. My lucky streak hasn’t been broken in over four years. If I play, we win. Like I said, when I want something, I pull out all the stops. And I like to win.

A knot in the pit of my stomach coils deeper into my gut. Why didn’t I pull out all the stops for Athena? I hid like a coward, stalked her from the shadows then let her set the rules for our relationship. That’s not me. I don’t sit on the sidelines and let shit happen to me.
