CHAPTER

THIRTEEN

Elly

We come across a local sports bar and decide that a hearty pub meal is exactly what we need to refuel after all the sex.

Walker holds the door open for me, and then takes my hand in his as we walk towards the bar.

I try not to think about the fact he makes me look like Dora the explorer out for a walk with a yeti.

The place is mainly filled with men, but there are a few women in here, and every single one of them do a double take when they see Walker.

I don’t blame them. He’s worth a double take, if not a triple.

He’s insanely hot, and now that I know how good he is in the sack, it’s only made him even hotter.

“Two for dinner?” Walker asks the guy behind the bar.

He hands us a couple of menus and tells us to sit wherever we want. It’s all super chill and I’m grateful for that.

Walker chooses a booth down the back, with only one occupied table near it. Two slightly older guys are watching the basketball on the TV on the wall. When I get closer, I see it’s a replay of the Bears game from last week.

“Reynolds is on some form, I’m keen to see how they go against the Sharks next game.”

“He’s on fire. Him and Daniels are playing like they share a brain.”

Walker raises his brows and tips his head towards the table, making sure I’m listening too.

I’m definitely listening. I love it when I hear things in the wild. It’s so interesting to me to see how the public perceive things. I’m also pathologically nosey, I love myself a good eavesdrop.

“Oh hell, there she is again, I’ve lost count of how many times they showed that new woman of his.”

“Tell me about it. This is basketball, not a singing contest.

‘Morgan Rhodes – nine-time grammy winner.’ Pops up on the screen as they flash back to a shot of Morgan sitting with Tommy’s people, right up front. I see myself on the side of the shot.

“Nine-time grammy winner,” the other guys reads it aloud. “Get back to the game, boys.”

They make a few comments between themselves that I don’t catch, but I think I hear something about ‘nice legs’.

A woman comes out of the bathroom and joins them, sitting down opposite the two men, her back to the screen.

“You missed more of that Morgan Rhodes than you did of the actual game,” one of the men tells her.

She pouts. “That’s all most of us are watching for these days.”

The two men exchange a look, although I can’t see their faces, I can guess what it symbolizes. They’re classic men’s men. They don’t care for all this romance bullshit.

“Yeah, all of us real ball fans are just going crazy for her,” one replies sarcastically. “I don’t know why they’re making such a big fuss. This isn’t a chick-flick, it’s basketball. They need to stop giving her airtime. This isn’t about boosting her career.”

The woman snort laughs.
