The three dots appear.
Home.
Where am I going to fuck you tonight.
?
There’s no bed in our room.
Yes, there is.
I glance back at Tanner’s room.
What game are you playing?
You’re a smart boy, figure it out.
I look at my closed bedroom door and toss my phone on the table.
She better be in there.Then I figure if she is, I need to be prepared.
I did the public proposal once.This time, it’s just us.I intend to confess my love and the fact that my life is nothing without her.
I get the ring box out of my pocket and open the door, freezing in place.“Fuck…”
Hadley is propped up on my bed with my jersey on.Her legs are bare and crossed, the buttons on the jersey undone to the valley of her tits.I’m pretty sure she’s not wearing anything underneath.
“Forget the ring.”I toss the box behind me and jump on the bed.
She laughs.“You like?”
“Daddy likes a lot.”I climb up the bed and go to kiss her, but she puts her hand on my lips.
“No daddy stuff…”
I nod.“Okay.”
“And what did you just toss away?”
My hands slide up under the hem of my jersey, and as predicted, she’s naked under it.“What did I do to deserve this?”
“East,” she says, inching up to see what I tossed.
“Oh, it’s nothing… just…”
Shit, my dick is about to fuck up this whole thing.
“Give me a second.”I slide off the bed, grab the box, and come back over.“When you tell this story to the girls, be sure to tell them how distracting you were.I had a whole speech planned out, and now all I can think to say is marry me and wear my jersey for the rest of our lives.”I open up the box.
Her left hand goes to her mouth.That ring is still there.To everyone besides our friends, we’ve been married and in love this entire time.
But that ring represents everything fake.
“I have a ring.”She lifts her hand and shows me.
“No.”I place the box down and slide the other ring off her finger, flinging it across the room.
“East!”
