CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
FORD
âDude, that hat trick was freaking awesome! With the number of shots you took on goal, you should have had at least three of them.â
My attention flickers to the guy who just slid in front of me, effectively blocking my path to Carina.
âAnd then when that player knocked you into the boardsâ¦â He shakes his head.
âYeah,â I mutter. âIt was a solid hit.â
My gaze returns to the blonde as she slips out the back door.
Dammit.
âI couldnât believe it when you took that shot and it hit the crossbar before bouncing off it. That totally should have been a goal.â
Heâs right about that.
I jerk my shoulders. âWell, what can you do?â
Iâm hanging onto my patience by a thread. Every second that ticks by only makes it more unlikely that Iâll catch Carina. Itâs tempting to shove this dude out of my way and make a run for the exit.
He shakes his head and shifts, looking as if heâs settling in for a nice long convo.
Before he can launch into yet another play, I clap him hard on the shoulder. âIt was great talking to youâ¦â My voice trails off as I blank on his name.
âSteve,â he supplies helpfully. âWe were in the same marketing class last year.â
I snap my fingers and point, even though thatâs not ringing any bells. âRight. Dr. Masterson.â
His brow furrows. âNo, it was Giddings.â
âSorry.â I flash a tight smile. One that feels as if itâll crack into a million jagged pieces. âItâs been a long day and I was just heading out.â
âNo worries.â
âHave a good night.â
That said, I slide past him, huffing out a relieved breath when he doesnât trail after me. A few more people clap my shoulder and call out my name. Instead of engaging, I stare straight ahead, ignoring them all.
Thereâs only one person I have an interest in talking to.
More like getting my hands on.
Carina.
And that song?
Fucking hot.
It took less than thirty seconds of her husky crooning for my dick to give her a salute worthy of a five-star general. Unfortunately, one glance at all the dazed and slack-jawed expressions told me I wasnât the only one blown away by her performance.
By the time I make it to the paved lot and jog to where she parked the BMW, thereâs nothing but an empty space.
I plow a hand through my hair and contemplate my options before swinging around and heading back inside. It takes a solid twenty minutes to convince Wolf to hand over the keys to his Mustang GTO. The guy treats the damn thing like itâs his baby.
Ridiculous.
Sure, I love my Vette. But at the end of the day, itâs just a car. A really nice, shiny automobile that gets me from point A to point B. Thatâs all I need it to do.
âLet me guessâ¦did Carina take off without you?â he asks, a smile tugging at his lips.
Heâs probably thinking about the eyeful he caught in the corridor after the game.
I shoot him a glare and turn away without responding.
