As I walked out of the locker room, my hands felt like lead. We didn't do much except lift weights for the past two hours.

"Hey, Mia," Kai called my name out from the gym floor.

I paused and waited as he ran up toward me. "Hey."

"Sorry, I wanted to catch you before you got out of here." He stopped in front of me and bit his bottom lip. "Mind if we step outside?"

"Uh. No." That's odd. There weren't that many people in the gym, so I wasn't sure what he'd want to say to me that warranted us being unable to talk in here.

He motioned for me to follow him, and we went out the side door of the gym that said EXIT ONLY.

When we stepped outside, he glanced around, checking to make sure we were away from everyone. "So, I'm not sure how to say this..."

Oh, shit. He wanted his jacket back. "I'm sorry, I forgot." I took the jacket off and handed it to him. "I'm kind of sweaty, so I can wash it first if you'd rather."

"Wait. No." He took it from me and smiled. "I mean, it's fine. That's not what I wanted to talk to you about."

"Okay." I didn’t know why, but I was afraid of what the next words were going to be out of his mouth. He'd kind of been my safety net since I got here.

"So, this weekend is the first football game here." He ran a hand through his blond hair, messing up his messily styled hair that probably took him an hour to achieve.

"Yeah, at least, it's not the KSU game where Liam and his crew could hurt my brother." I still couldn't believe a fated mate could treat the other like that. Though I realized I’d better learn quickly how to act as though he didn't exist if I wanted to survive and come out unscathed.

Kai winced. "Yeah, I didn’t mean to make you think about your brother’s game." He sucked in a breath and groaned. "This wasn't smooth or how it was supposed to go."

"What are you talking about?" He was acting nervous, which made me feel even more uneasy.

"Well, you know there is a lot going on the first week before a football game, so I wanted to talk to you." He put his hands into his short's pockets. "It's just that I want you to have fun at the first football game and all. Afterward, there will be some sort of party we could go to … together."

I wasn't sure what to say at this point, so I stayed quiet.

"People start making plans early in the week." He then rubbed a hand down his face. "So I wanted to talk to you now before you get some set."

"Plans for this weekend?" I'd never seen him act this uncomfortable before.

"I guess what I'm trying to do, albeit not so eloquently, is ask if you want to go to the football game with me?" He chewed on his bottom lip as he stared into my eyes.
