Chapter Fourteen

"She said what?"

"Keep your voice down. I don't want Cara to know what we're talking about."

Travis almost laughed when Haley glanced over her shoulder then turned back to him. Did she really think Cara didn't know? Did she and Jenny really think Cara couldn't tell something was going on as soon as they grabbed him and pulled him to the side? He barely had a chance to take off his coat when they arrived at Mystic's before both women descended on him and dragged him away. He didn't miss the flash of surprise that crossed Cara's face, or the way she dropped her head, refusing to look at anyone.

He glanced over at their table, his gut clenching at the way Cara sat there. Head down, shoulders slumped, hands folded in her lap. Sitting with the group but not really a part of it. He wanted to rush over and pull her into his arms, reassure her, tell her everything would be okay.

But first he had to find out exactly what the hell was going on because neither Haley nor Jenny were making any real sense. Did Cara's roommate actually say he had been flirting with her the night he first met Cara?

"Tell me again what she said. Her exact words."

"I don't remember her exact words. She just said something about how the two of you had been flirting and that you would have gone home with her only she sent Cara over as a joke."

Jenny nodded. "And that the only reason you were with Cara now was because you knocked her up. Um, her words. Not mine."

"Why the hell would she say something like that? Dammit! Damn her!"

Both women stared at him, their mouths slightly ajar. Haley cleared her throat and playfully nudged him in the arm. "Damn, Travis. I didn't know you had it in you."

"What?"

"You swore. I don't think I've ever heard you swear before."

Jenny nodded, a small grin teasing her mouth. "Well, they do say it's the quiet ones you need to look out for."

"True. And he is the one who had a one-night stand and ended up getting the girl pregnant."

Travis ignored the heat flaming his face, opened his mouth to tell the two women that he was hardly the only guy on the team to have a one-night stand. He slammed his mouth closed at the last second, finally remembering who he was talking to:

Tyler's wife.

Zach's fiancée.

Keeping his mouth shut was the safest thing to do. If the two women didn't flay him alive, his teammates would. And he had a feeling his teammates would be gentler with him.

He pushed the thoughts from his mind and forced himself to focus on the immediate problem: what Cara's roommate had told her. No wonder she was sitting over there, looking dejected and alone. What he didn't understand was why she believed it.

No. What he really didn't understand was why her roommate had said it. He said as much to the two women who had him backed into the corner of the noisy bar.
