Chapter Seventeen

“Morning, everyone.”

“Morning, Mr. Barnes!” Jane responds.

Tito just gives a head nod as usual and I respond … cautiously.

“Good morning.”

It’s rare to find Coop in such a good mood this early in the morning. In fact, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say it’s odd.

“Tito, I’m going by the school before practice today. Owens, you want us to scoop you up on the way back or do you want to take a car service there?”

“Wait … what?”

“Jane and I are going to go by the school first. I just wanted to know if you wanted us to pick you up on the way to training camp or did you want to get there on your own?”

“Oh … umm, it probably would be out of the way for you to come back and get me.”

Tito stares at me thoughtfully then speaks.

“We could come get you,” he asserts.

Coop checks his watch.

“Owens might have a point. I didn’t think about all the traffic going in that direction on the bridge. It might be kind of tight. No telling who we may run into at the school either. I have a few things to go over with the builder, so why don’t you just meet us at the field.”

“Uh—okay.”

Jane smiles at the both of us. Oblivious of the work ahead of her at camp. It’s a delicate dance keeping the reporters at bay and keeping the fans happy. Especially when you work for one of the most popular players on the team. She’s not even dressed properly for it.

“Sounds good. May I just run to the ladies’ room before we leave, Mr. Barnes?”

“No problem.”

As soon as she turns the corner toward the restroom, Coop leans in toward me.

“Jane’s working out, huh?” he half-whispers.

“Yes, she is,” I try agreeing without showing any obvious attitude.

Tito walks quietly out of the room toward the kitchenette.

“You did good, Owens. She’s a keeper.”

“So, you trust her?”

“Until she shows me any differently, I think I know enough to comfortably hire her in your place. Don’t you? She was your top choice, right?”

“Yes, she was my top choice.”

Coop walks over to the large bay window in the common area and stares at the street below us with his back to me. I can’t help but take a few moments to think about what my sisters would say if they were here at this moment. Coop may be a lot of things, not all of them good, but one thing I could never deny is that he is hot.

Today he’s wearing a casual white tee and a pair of jeans that look like they were tailor fit for his physique. The simplicity of his outfit plays up the definition of his upper body and the sleek lines of his long athletic legs. His hair is loose and a bit messy which only adds to his laid-back sexiness.

“I realize that attending training camp has never been your favorite responsibility,” he says still facing the window. “You can skip it today if you want.
