Chapter 8

DANE

We’d kicked the season off with a win. I had more disposals and goals than normal. It was a good game. They didn't let us win easily.

The week went quickly. I hadn't seen Emerald since Saturday night. She was that busy. It wasn't like my schedule wasn't busy either. My days were packed, but the nights were mine. So I found myself not wanting to be home.

I went out with the boys. They still couldn't believe Emerald was letting me out of the house without her. But when I explained how busy she was, they realized just how unlucky I was. Having a wife as hot as her and not being able to spend any time with her.

All week I’d been thinking of one thing. How the hell did I get Emerald to agree to date me?

It was Friday night, and seeing as my game wasn't till Sunday afternoon, I knew I wouldn't be seeing her till then and even then it would only be for a brief few seconds.

So even though I had stopped myself from reaching out to her all week. Even when I was wide awake of a night, wondering where she was. Or even during the day, I just wanted to know how she was. But I didn't bug her. Till tonight. My willpower was gone and I just wanted to see her. So I decided to call her. I took a gulp of my beer, listening to it ring.

It was eight, and I hoped she wouldn’t be working all night

"Hey Dane, it's Megan." Her agent answered her phone.

Great, I wasn't even going to be able to get to talk to her. "Hi Megan." I knew I should be thanking the woman for putting Emerald in my life but I also wanted to yell at her, for keeping Emerald so busy.

“I'm guessing you want to talk to Em?"

“Yeah." I took another gulp of my beer. "She there?"

“She's working." Megan just confirmed the fact I wouldn't be able to talk to Emerald. "But you could always come to see her."

“At the shoot?" Wouldn't that be crossing a line? I doubted Emerald would want me there. I get that she wanted to keep this a business relationship. But as soon as I laid eyes on her, I knew I wanted more than that.

“Yeah come! You might be able to convince Em to leave at a reasonable hour tonight. I'm telling you now, I might book the gigs but she is the one staying till wrap." Megan laughed.

“I doubt Emerald would want me there." My truth just came out. And I quickly took another gulp of my beer to fill my mouth before I said something else. Like the fact I hadn't been able to stop thinking about Emerald.

“I'll ask her."

“No don't do that." I was saying it but I already heard Megan call out to Emerald. "Seriously, Megan don't bother her." I was saying it but from what I could hear, Megan was having another conversation and wasn't listening.
