Chapter 6

Zeke

“Okay, maybe I’m glad I didn’t try to hit on that one.” Cliff pats me on the back as I desperately try to get hold of Arabella on my phone. “Good luck.”

“Thanks,” I reply dryly. “I think I’ll need it.”

I try again to call Arabella, but she doesn’t answer. I wasn’t about to reveal intimate details of our relationship to my teammates. I’d started by saying she’s beautiful, and I’d gone on to tell them they weren’t getting anything else from me, because what happens between us is private. She must have been so scarred by her ex-boyfriend’s behavior, though, she didn’t hear any of that. She just lost it with me, and damn, the girl can punch. My jaw is still smarting.

If she’s not going to answer my calls, then I’m going to have to find her and make sure she listens to me. I hop into my sports car, it’s obligatory for all football players to own one, and I make my way to her house. A thought hits me as I’m driving, and I call up Matt Montgomery. He’s Will's brother, and I’ve known him for a long time now. His partner, Nic, happens to be one of the best bakers in Seattle. I know for a fact Arabella has a sweet tooth, and if I come bearing gifts, I might be able to calm her down enough to get her to listen to me.

“Hello,” Matt answers the phone.

“Hi, it’s Zeke.”

“Hi, you okay? You sound a little stressed.”

“Remember when you said that I’ll know I’ve found the woman for me because she’ll drive me insane and turn me into a blathering idiot?”

“I’m not sure those were my exact words. I was toasting a successful scene with Nic at the club at the time, why? Have you found that woman?”

“Yes, and I’m being an idiot right now.”

Matt laughs and I hear the feminine voice of Nic in the background, asking who it is.

“It’s Zeke, he’s found his woman,” Matt replies to her, and I hear an excited squeal. “What do you need, Zeke? Advice? Some time in the club?” he questions, turning his attention back to me.

A quick vision of taking Arabella to Club Temptation hits me, but first, I need to get our relationship back on track.

“I might take her to the club soon, but for now, I need cakes and cookies. Anything Nic can give me in the next few seconds because I’m pulling up outside your house now.” I end the call and get out of my car.

Nic comes running out of the house excitedly with Matt following at a more leisurely pace.

“Is she with you?” Matt asks.

I shake my head. “No, she caught me talking about her with some of the other players. I wasn’t going to tell them intimate details or anything, but she had a bad experience in a past relationship, and I think she thought I was going to reveal all. I need something sweet to try to make it up to her.
