I couldn’t believe I was doing this. I was leaving Ella with Allison. To go hang out in a bar and I didn’t even drink. What the fuck was I thinking? I’ll tell you what I was thinking. I was thinking about the last time Allison and Ella had been left alone for more than five seconds. I was thinking about all the things Ella could learn tonight. I was thinking of the Alabama Hair Party in my damn bathroom. That’s what I was thinking about.

Allison and I’d had a long talk about what not to and what to discuss with my impressionable sister, but I had a really bad feeling that our talk had gone in one teenage ear and out the other.

I really just wanted to go home. I was already regretting my decision to go out, but Mason must have known I’d try to bail because he had me leave my car at the stadium, which meant I was riding shotgun in his giant white truck that looked like it was older than I was.

“Where are we going again?”

I was really damn tired and grumpy and just wanted to go home and check on Ells. Where I could think about Scarlett and her two left feet, sweet smile, and sexy as sin ass. Jesus, I was fucked. One go around the dance floor and I wanted to dance with her forever. She was still the fun, silly, Skittles-eating girl I’d adored. Only now, she was a woman and that was a deadly combination for me. I wanted her. Bad. I was almost 100 percent sure she was ghosting my ass. I hadn’t talked to her in days. I’d tried texting. I wasn’t feeling brave enough for a phone call yet, but I could see it on the horizon. She was the only good thing about my life at the moment besides Ella. I needed to talk to her.

“Damn, don’t act so damn excited to hang out with a friend.” He was giving me the side-eye and I was pretending I wasn’t seeing his judgy ass gaze.

“Is that what we are now? Friends?”

Turning the radio down, he said, “Well, shit, Lucy. I don’t wanna kiss you or anything, but I definitely think we’re friends. Am I wrong?”

I thought how not long ago he’d tried to choke me against the side of my vehicle and now we were friends. And how now he paid me and my sister visits for dinner. Crazy fucker.

I shook my head and mumbled, “I don’t understand you, Mason.”

He huffed a sarcastic laugh. “And I’m supposed to understand you? Hell, half of the team assumed you came home because you knocked up a chick or something. But you’re home to take care of your sister. Yet you tell no one. In fact, you act like you don’t give a fuck about the team.”

God, he wasn’t starting on that shit again. And I was stuck in the damn truck with him.

Fuck. He was right about the team.
