“Does she want to date you?” I ask, holding back the vomit as he holds my gaze.
“She does.”
Gag.
Swallowing the vomit that wants to escape, I shudder. “I mean, Coach, y’all are adults. You don’t have to ask me.”
He nods slowly. “I respect you, Sinclair. And because of that, I want to ask. I already asked Lucy and your brothers. They are fine with it, but I want to make sure you are too before I proceed in a relationship with her.”
Those bastards. No one could call me?
And good God, a relationship? Ew.
“Thanks,” I manage to say without puking all over his hardwood floors. “I appreciate that and, yeah, Coach, you’re a good dude. Just please don’t hurt her.”
He nods. “I can promise you I won’t. She’s a very special lady.”
“She is.” I tuck my hands into my pockets, but he just stares at me. Staring back at him, my eyes widen. “Yeah, I got nothing. Can I leave?”
Coach chuckles as he nods. “Yeah, Sinclair. Thanks for coming over.”
“Yeah, and ugh…um, good luck with my, er, mom,” I say awkwardly before hightailing it out of the house. Once the door is shut behind me, I pull out my phone and call Baylor.
“Hey, loser.”
“Chick, your dad is dating my mom, and you couldn’t tell me? I get that Jayden wants me to feel all gross inside and loves fucking with me, but you? I expected a call.”
“What?” she asks, and I pause.
“You know our parents are dating, right? He just asked me if it was okay.”
“What!” she shrieks and then the phone goes dead.
Huh. Guess she didn’t know.
Shrugging my shoulders, I head back to the Bullies’ house and run back down the stairs to my room, falling face first into the bed again. I want to sleep, I do. But then I sit up and I’m texting Avery.
Me: Someone just asked me if they could date my mom.
Avery: I thought you had a dad.
Me: I do. They are divorced. Sorta.
Avery: Oh. Sorry, and that’s sweet. Is he nice?
Me: No big and yeah, he’s my coach.
Avery: Oh cool. I hope it works out.
Me: Me too.
Me: Don’t know why I texted you that.
Avery: Duh, because I’m constantly on your mind.
She adds a winky face and I grin.
Me: That’s exactly it.
