Chapter Ten

Rob

I couldn’t believe the mess I was in. And worse, I couldn’t let it affect my play. After screaming at Nico for an hour, he reminded me that I had a morals clause in my contract. Sex with a reporter in the press box violated that big time. And while I was sputtering my outrage, he told me to go home. Worse, he sat in my car just to make sure I got there. And all the while, the bastard kept saying that it was for my own good. I had no idea why the hell he cared so much, and when I asked, he said it was because no one had stopped him when he was young and stupid, and it would have made all the difference in his life.

I had nothing to say to that except that I believed in Heidi. She wasn’t going to write anything negative about me. Yeah, maybe that was naive, but I still trusted her.

If only I had a way to contact her. Thanks to Nico’s interference, she’d walked off without giving me her phone number or email address, and though I knew her last name, there were a zillion Heidi Wongs on social media. Once I was at home, I called the newspaper where she worked, but what the hell could I say? The Bobcats were obsessive about controlling media contact. I couldn’t leave my real name or contact information. I finally just said I was Rob from Ft. Lauderdale and begged her to email me with her contact information. I gave her a brand-new email address and prayed she got the message.

And then I waited.

It was stupid to think she’d get her work messages on a Saturday night. It was even more stupid to get anxious because I didn’t hear anything on Sunday, either. By Monday morning practice, I was a mess—defiant toward Nico, angry at myself, and wholly unfocused. I tried to play it cool, but everyone noticed. Fortunately, I was able to pass it off as nerves after my less-than-amazing performance on Saturday, but that wasn’t going to last. I knew I had to get my mind off Heidi, but damn it, there was no way that was going to happen. Not unless I was able to talk to her again. I needed to reassure her that I had nothing to do with Nico’s threats and that I would do everything I could to get that video from him.

I thought I’d managed to get my wandering brain back in line, but the minute I stepped onto the field, I saw her everywhere. I remembered how she’d looked in the fading sunlight, her black hair showing red highlights from the sunset. How her mouth had opened in awe as she looked up at the stands, and how we’d laughed about it while we walked the bases. That was hard enough, but then I looked at the press box and remembered the way her body had fisted me. It was the most pleasure I’d ever felt.
