Chapter Sixteen

On Sunday, Spencer, Maddox, Cade, Nick, and I went together to watch the Red Sox play. We hadn’t gone to a game in a long while. The energy at the stadium was infectious even though the game was slow. But that gave us an opportunity to catch up.

"All right, who won yesterday?" I asked. I’d had to skip our weekly tennis match because I had a meeting with a developer.

"Gabe and me. I felt fantastic. I've actually slept great this week, so I'm invincible," Spencer informed us.

Cade and I looked at each other and laughed. We had a secret understanding that we didn't even realize was an understanding until we’d caught each other doing it. Since Spencer became a dad, his game had understandably faltered, what with lack of sleep and everything, so on occasion, we let him win. I mean, how many times in a row could a dude lose the game before throwing in the towel?

Lately, though, he was becoming more and more cocky—or should I say, he had the typical Whitley cockiness back. So next time, we’d go hard on him. Which was fine by me. I had so much energy lately that I could probably play tennis by myself the whole day and still not get tired. I was pumped up.

I also had far too much sexual energy I needed to get rid of. I was picking up Tory later this afternoon, and I needed to take the edge off before then. Her short time in New Orleans had been rough, and I needed to make sure she was okay before we took things any further.

We all started to watch the game. They were batting and doing a shitty job at it. Nick went to the bathroom, claiming he wasn’t sure if he was returning to watch the rest of this nightmare. He and I were the biggest Red Sox fans, so games like these were hard to watch. Fortunately, they were far and few between, but still, we wanted to see a win.

I started to laugh. “Anyone feel cheated? What are we even doing here?”

"Dude, you’re in a surprisingly good mood," Cade said.

"Hell yes, I am."

"Even with the Red Sox losing spectacularly? You’re usually insufferable when that happens," Spencer said. "What gives?"

"Why shouldn't I be? Everything is working out great.”

"How’s your roommate?" Cade asked with a shit-eating grin.

"Good," I said. "And she's not my roommate, just my housemate."

"Yeah, po-tay-toes, po-tah-toes."

"I think Gran is barking up the wrong tree this time," Spencer said.

"You would always think that, though," Maddox replied.

I snorted. "Let me guess: Gran thinks Tory and I are—and I quote, because I would never say these words myself—‘meant for each other’?" I started to laugh. "She never gives up, huh?"

“Never,” Cade assured me. “But you’re solidly hanging in there, considering how good your mood is. And how good your game was last time.”

“What’s one thing got to do with the other?” I asked.

Spencer cleared his throat. "Whenever one of us got whipped over a woman, our tennis game was for shit.
