CHAPTER TWELVE

Christian

If I didn’t have to come to Chicago to sign my new lease, I wouldn’t have come. I would have stayed in California, spending the rest of my morning between Eliana’s legs and making her scream as much as I could. But of course, I had to fly on the first flight out to sign two sheets of paper.

Those two signatures could have been done through email but of course my building likes to do everything in person.

It’s done though, and I have a brand-new lease for the next two years, which is what I have left in my Dark Knights contract.

I should buy a place; it would be nice to own a place in Chicago but I have to think about the fact that I might not be here in five years. As much as I like to think that I’m going to be playing for Chicago forever and hate the idea of playing for another team, I have to be realistic. Shit could happen and for all I know I can be in Florida in three years.

It would be a good investment, though. Whether I stay in the city or not. And it’s definitely something I should think about but right now all I want to concentrate on is spending time with some of my teammates and getting on my flight home later today to get back to my girl.

My girl?

Is she even my girl if we technically haven’t made anything official?

According to my brain she is.

I guess my mind is getting a few hours ahead of itself.

“I think Rodriguez is broken,” Blake, my teammate and friend says, breaking me out of my headspace.

When I found out I was coming to Chicago for the day, I sent a message out to Liam, Blake and our other teammate Logan so that we could grab a bite to eat before I headed back to California for the next three weeks. I didn’t need to, I could have just flown in and out of Chicago without them noticing, but they’ve been hounding me about spending the summer so far away from them that I decided to shut them up and to not be a shit friend and take them to lunch.

Liam and Blake said yes, and Logan said he was in New York for his brother’s wedding.

Now here we are at a sandwich shop by the river, taking in some of this Chicago muggy heat, joined by Sophia, Blake’s supposed best friend forever.

If you ask me, the dude has feelings for her, but he is too scared to admit it.

“What makes you say that?” Liam asks him right before he takes a bite of the sandwich in front of him.

“Because he's smiling, I’ve never seen the man smile,” Blake answers him, eying me like he is trying to figure out if I’ve been replaced by a robot or something.

“That’s not true. He smiled when you guys won the cup,” Sophia adds, shoving her best friend.

“He also smiled the first time he held Emma,” Liam throws out mentioning his two-month-old daughter.
