“What are you doing?”
I look over to find Jace and Markus grinning at me, both of them holding two beers in their hands. “Waiting on Baylor. She’s puking.”
“Ha!” Jace hollers out before pushing his beers in my hand. They then slam their fists over and over again against the door.
“Jace, guys, stop,” I say as they taunt her.
“Lightweight!” Markus calls out.
“Can’t handle your Jack, girlie girl!” Jace calls, and when the door snaps open, they both take a step back.
“I will puke on you both if you don’t get the hell out of here!” She then slams the door shut, and I just laugh.
“Told ya to leave her alone.”
Taking their beers, they flutter away as I shake my head. When I h
ear her puking once more, I reach for the door, entering it despite her protest. “Let me just help.”
“Help what? I’m puking out my nose, want to plug it for me?”
I laugh as I pull her hair back, taking the rubber band from her wrist and tying it up. “Want me to get you some water?”
“No, just leave me here to die.”
“So dramatic, it’s very girlie of you,” I tease as I slide down the wall, watching as she hugs the toilet.
“Fuck off, Sinclair,” she mutters before tossing more of her cookies. Grimacing, I reach out, rubbing her back as she heaves her whole body into the toilet. We sit for a while, me yelling at people to go piss somewhere else as she heaves.
“I think it’s safe to say you won’t be drinking Jack anymore.”
She scoffs, her voice loud from speaking in the toilet. “You’re completely and utterly right.”
“Thought I’d never hear you say that,” I tease, and she nods.
“First time for everything,” she whispers, and I lean my head back to wait this out. As soon as she stops yacking everywhere, I plan to get her home. I’m sure Coach will be thrilled to see her like this. Until then though, I’ll play Flappy Bird.
“Hey, Jayden.”
I look up from my phone and say, “Yeah?”
“I forgive you.”
For some reason, I know exactly what she means, and a grin pulls at my lips as I say, “Yeah?”
She nods. “I forgave you the day we fought outside the rink.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I wish it would have gone down differently but I respect you for it.”
“Thank you.”
“Anytime,” she wheezes. “Can you please take me home?”
I stand as my grin grows. I can’t help but think that maybe we can move on from this, and maybe something can grow from it all. I mean, it’s obvious we have chemistry. It’s evident, but this was the one thing that was holding me back. Now that we have solved this, I can only hope that something can happen. What? I’m not one hundred percent sure, but I know I really like her.
“Was that the one thing you wouldn’t admit to anyone?” I ask as I flush the toilet.
