Chapter 24

Sebastian

My nerves are pretty shredded at the end of the fan meet and greet session. I’m ready to climb out of my skin in my hurry to get to Wright’s. I hope she shows up. She did come out to the game despite my doubts so I have high hopes.

“What’s wrong with you, Fleet?” Dev asks when I leap out of my seat to rush off. It’s a given we’re all going to Wright’s. After that win and our first game of the season we’re definitely celebrating. Along with half the student population of course, but at least we have our own section reserved there. Team perks. I’m not even really in the mood to go there. I’d really rather go somewhere a lot more private with Abby. My house, her apartment. Heck even my car would be fine at this point. Nah, not Abby. She’s not a cheap ride in my car kind of girl. At least not our first time together. My brain slams down on the brakes with a screech to stop that line of thought. I have zero expectations of sleeping with her tonight. Well the reasonable thinking side of me doesn’t. My cock has other ideas and hasn’t settled down since I pulled her into my lap.

Some of the guys are lingering. Hanging back to talk to some of the ladies who held back and waited for us to finish, but Jackson recognizes my impatience and joins me for the walk over to Wright’s.

A shiver runs down my spine at the blast of cold air that hits my face as we push through the back door. Good. That’ll cool me down a bit before we get there.

“That was a fantastic game, Seb. Good to see you back to your former glory. I was worried about you for a while there.”

“Me too, man. I just got all up in my head. I’m good now.” I’m trying to lock those months of uncertainty into a box in the back of my mind never to revisit again.

“Seems like that girl has been helping you out as much as you’ve been helping her.”

“What?” What’s he talking about?

“That’s when you got your game back.” Our long strides eat up the grass as we stride across campus. “When she showed up.”

“No. It was…” The words don’t even get a chance at life. He’s right. She’s the one who helped me get my old self back. Fear rises up to the back of my throat. Does that mean I’ll lose it again if I lose her?

“Don’t overthink it, Fleet. I can see that brain of yours whirring away.” He drops a hand on my shoulder. “She’s been good for you and your game. I suspect you’ve been good for her singing. Just enjoy each other and leave it at that. No need to make anything bigger out of it.” I’ve always admired the way Jackson can just breeze through life letting everything roll off his back.

He’s right. No need to make a big deal.
