BECK
The angry snarl of the car matches my mood.
I shouldnât give a shit that she won a date. That she bid on a date. That sheâs going on a date with Dr. Fancy Fuck.
This is a good thing, actually. Itâs a reminder of one key fact.
Sloan Reeves isnât my fucking concern.
I shouldnât have been listening when she took the call, but she took the call in my damn house, after all. There are rules, decorum, that should be followed. And if I happen to overhear a conversation probably not meant for me to overhear, then itâs on her.
Unless maybe she wanted me to overhear. Why else would she take a call like that in my kitchen? Is this all part of some game I didnât even know we were playing?
Fuck me. She has my head all twisted and bent around things I shouldnât give a fuck about. Things I never give a fuck about.
What is wrong with me? I donât care who she dates. She isnât my property and if she wants to swap spit with every guy this side of the Pacific, itâs her business. Sheâs not mine and I donât care.
I say that out loud under my breath just for good measure. âI. Do. Not. Care.â
But it sounds limp and unconvincing, even to my own ears.
I jam the gas pedal into the floor and speed up. For that brief window of glorious, twelve-cylinder acceleration, I leave my thoughts in the dust.
Then a set of red-and-blue lights in my rearview window drags me right down to earth.
Goddammit.
I grimace and sigh as I pull over to the side of the road. By the time the officer walks up to the car, I have my license and insurance already in my hand. Thatâs unlike meâthe pre-Sloan version of Beck wouldâve flashed a dazzling smile and tried to celeb my way out of the situation. This new Beck is responsible. Law-abiding.
It makes me sick.
âProblem, officer?â I say as I hand the documents over.
His professional scowl disappears when he reads the name on my ID. âBeckett Daniels! Iâll be damned. Team looks good this year.â
I nod. âWeâve been working hard. Iâm actually on my way to practice right now.â
He nods as he hands my license back and smiles. âAlright then. You just remember to save all your speeding for the ice, got it?â
âYou bet, officer.â As he walks back to his cruiser, I put the window up and drive away.
Iâm dressed and on the ice already when Dix skates out. Best friend or not, if he doesnât keep his mouth shut today, Iâm going to shut it for him.
But of course, he doesnât keep his mouth shut.
Weâre doing line sprints when Dixon skates past me and slaps the back of my leg with the blade of his stick. âWhatâs the matter, buddy? Your girlfriend keep you up late last night?â
I shake my head and ignore him. Head down. Sprint back to the other side.
Heâs still cracking jokes when we get there. âUh-oh, sounds like thatâs a no.
