After work, my dad calls me and asks me to bring some food to the field. The guys had been practicing all day and he wants to reward them. Classic dad. He tells me I can stay and eat with them if I want to, and with the sunshine beaming down on this late-afternoon humidity, it's very tempting.

I hate when Dad treats me like his secretary or assistant, but it means that I might get to spend some time with him, I just suck it up and do it anyway. I always say yes, and he knows it.

But this time, I said yes because it would mean I’d get to see Caleb. I needed to know if I’d imagined the whole night with him after daydreaming all day to the point where I'm sure my colleagues heard me groaning our loud.

Even though I desperately hoped to find out otherwise, I was pretty sure Caleb would ignore me and everything would go back to the way it was. I’d be invisible again. That's my plan. Then I’d know for sure and I can start to move on with my life. If that happens and he ignores me like I suspect might happen, I’ll know. And I'll gracefully accept the kiss and won’t make the mistake of falling for his attention again.

You're ridiculous, Harper. Absolutely ridiculous.

In the club room, the guys are all changed and waiting for the food when I arrive. When I slump up the stairs and slam a tray of food on the table the players start gathering around the sushi, not one of them acknowledging me.

“Hands off!" I bite out, pulling the plastic wrap back over the box. "If you all want more than this, you’d better come help me get the rest out of the car!”

Caleb jumps up from behind a table set out with sports drinks and water bottles. He smiles at me, the sight making my heart flutter instantly. “We got this. Come on guys.”

He grabs a couple of his teammates and they run down to get the food from my car. By the time they're back, it doesn't take long before the boxes of food are almost empty.

Everyone is dished up and the guys are devouring the food without a sound. Dad acknowledges me in his own way, a gentle bow of his head and a slight smile lifting on side of his mouth.

A few minutes pass and I'm completely caught off guard when Caleb moves in my direction, filling the air with his musky, sexy smell. I swallow hard when he plucks a chair out and sits down beside me.

Of course, my head goes into crazy-Harper overdrive. In case you don't know, that means one-billion-fucking-miles-an-hour.

Maybe I am overreacting? Maybe last night isn't just something footballers do?

Caleb could be different. I mean, there's always an exception to the rule, right?

We don’t have a chance to talk though because now they're done eating, everyone else is yelling at each other and laughing. A typical locker room vibe if I've ever seen one.
