CHAPTER FIFTEEN

BASH

It was a no-pads practice since this was our final week before we headed into training. Sabrina was down at the opposite end of the field practicing her kicks. She kept moving back five yards at a time to test her limits.

“Man, can that girl kick. I bet it’s not the only thing she does well.”

I rolled my eyes at Dalton Johnson salivating over Sabrina. “Not gonna happen,” I told him.

“Why do you think that is?”

“Because she has good taste?” I offered. “Also, you’re kind of a douchebag.”

“Right.” He nodded, very serious. “But I used to slay in high school. I don’t understand what it is women in college want.”

“I can’t help you there.” Mostly because I didn’t want to. Leaving Johnson to ponder life’s great mysteries, I headed over to the main group, where Logan indicated that he wanted to do a couple of practice throws with full offense and defense.

It was then that Woodby decided to finally grace us with his presence.

“Nice of you to show up!” Logan called out.

Without responding to our captain’s sarcastic remark, Woodby went to line up. Where he made the very big mistake of pissing me off by not paying attention. First he was rude to Ember, then he blew off his team, and now he couldn’t be bothered to listen to the play and respond correctly? I grabbed him by his jersey, pulling him close.

“What’s your problem?” I yelled.

“What’s your problem?” he responded, wrenching his shirt away from my grasp. “You’re being a real jack—donkey’s butt today.”

I wished desperately that Coach hadn’t instituted a no-swearing rule. There were so many that I wanted to use in that moment. “My problem is what a frelling jerk you were at dinner!”

He blinked at me, as if not understanding. “Dinner? You mean that double date? How was I a jerk?”

“You totally ignored Ember the entire night, and when you did talk to her, it was to belittle or tell her all the ways she was wrong.”

A smug look settled on his face and it took all my willpower not to bash it in. “She was fine. She had you there to protect and entertain her. It doesn’t seem to upset you that you ignored Bethany that whole time.”

That knocked some of the wind out of my sails. Was he right? I hadn’t meant to. I had wanted to be a good date. But it was hard to remember that there were other women in the world when Ember was in the room.

“I got the girl I was supposed to end up with,” he said. “So you can calm down. It’s not like Ember was so great, anyways.”

I literally saw red. I was going to kill him. Rage roared to life inside me and I reacted. Since we weren’t wearing pads, it was so much more satisfying to shove Woodby on his unprotected shoulders. He nearly fell down but regained his balance. Then he shoved me back, and several players intervened, pulling us apart.

Logan got in the middle of us and grabbed me by my shirtfront.
