Chapter Twelve

How do I spell relief? T-E-N-S-A-N-N-E

—Kohl’s inner thoughts

Tensanne

BAM, BAM, BAM, what the fuck is that?

Who the hell is at my door at? Slipping on my glasses I check the time on my phone, 2:00 a.m.

“Open the door, Ten,” comes across my phone from Kohl.

Opening the door, I see an exhausted Kohl, holding his team duffle bag. His arms braced on the door frame, his head hanging low.

Butterflies fill my belly. He came here straight from the bus. I didn’t figure I would see him until in the morning.

“Kohl,” I whisper, raising his head, his eyes a stormy gray, he pulls me forward engulfing me in his arms burying his nose in my hair.

“What did I do, baby girl? Why are you angry at me?” he mumbles into my neck, the vibration and heat of his breath sending chills along my skin, his succulent scent fills my nose.

Pulling back from him, “Nothing, I was just being stupid. Why are you here? Why didn’t you go back to the dorm and get some sleep? You look like shit,” I laugh.

Stepping through the door, he drops his bag and flops back on my twin bed, “I couldn’t go to sleep with you mad at me. That was the longest six-hour ride of my life, thinking that I may have lost you as a friend.”

Standing at the foot of the bed, admiring how perfect his body is sprawled out in my space, surrounded by my things, I reassure him, “You haven’t lost me. Wren said something that pissed me off, something I have no right to be angry for and I let it eat at me. I know it was stupid and I’m sorry I made you worry.”

Sitting up on his elbows, his face etched in concern, he pats the bed, “Come sit with me.”

He waits for me to situate myself on the edge of the bed, then he asks, “What did he say?”

Picking at my nails, I can’t look him in the face. I feel foolish for being angry. “Something about you and a blonde at the after-game party last weekend, and the fact that we’re never together at the parties or out anywhere else off campus. But were not a couple, were friends and we do what friends do.”

“Ten, you won’t go to the parties with me. Hell, I’ve been trying to get you in the stands for a home game since the season started. I don’t know what blonde he was talking about but I promise you I wasn’t with anyone,” he says twirling a piece of my hair between his fingers.

“You’re right, though; you don’t have a reason to be angry if I was. You know we don’t go anywhere because you insist we don’t have time.” Cupping his hand against my cheek, he continues, “You’re angry with me for stipulations that you put on us. Come here and lay down with me,” he says patting his chest and scooting his body against the wall to make room for me, extending his arm waiting for me to curl into him.
