On my way to El’s office, Ross calls. “Dude. I just talked to Gatorade! Fucking Gatorade! They’re in! Oh, my God! This is fucking unreal!”

I laugh at how excited he is. “That’s awesome, man. I knew you’d do great.”

I’d called Dirk two weeks ago and fired his ass. He’d been my agent for going on five years, and I’d had enough. Not only had he been a dick to El, he’d lately been threatening to pull some of my endorsements trying to manipulate me which wasn’t cool. So I’d had it. Let’s just say he wasn’t too happy and leave it at that. And Ross was doing just fine, and now he’d landed a major deal.

“I’m still in awe that I actually got it! I didn’t expect to hear from them until Monday since it’s Black Friday and all, but the guy said they were excited and wanted to go forward with things.”

Ross is now well on his way to becoming a millionaire. I’d already given him ten percent of my contract and we’d agreed that he’d make twenty percent from each endorsement deal he landed. Hell, he might already be a millionaire with this Gatorade gig going through.

“You did great, man,” I congratulate him.

“I can ask Bec to marry me now!”

Fuck. Gut punch. I mean, I’m happy for them, of course, but, God, I really want the same for El and me.

“Good for you,” I say.

“Gonna call her now and let her know. They’re gonna fax the contract over in the next couple hours for you to sign. I’ll bring it by as soon as I get it.”

“Sounds good,” I say. We talk a bit more then hang up as I’m pulling into ProSport. When I go inside, I see Trina standing at the front desk and she immediately gives me a pouty look as I walk over. “What’s up, Trina?”

“Nothing,” she says, still sulking.

“Courtney, is Ellen in?” I ask and Trina turns on her heel with a huff and heads toward the back. Strange.

“Don’t mind her,” Courtney says. “She had the idea that you guys were gonna get married and have babies.” She chuckles.

I frown. Damn. I really am bad at reading women.

“El’s with a client right now, but she’ll be finished in ten minutes,” Courtney informs me.

“Would it be okay if I went back just for a second?” I ask, trying to use my charm on her.

She twists her mouth to the side as she thinks about it. “Well, we’re not really supposed to do that. But I can walk you back and check in on her to make sure it’s okay.”

I nod and she comes around the desk and leads me down the hallway. I look in Gary’s office as we go by but see he’s not in. When we reach El’s room, Courtney smiles at me then knocks lightly and opens the door. “El…”

And there stand El and Austin caught in a lip lock from which they break immediately.

What the fuck?

I push past Courtney and go inside the room.
