“Fuck off, dickhead,” I said, but around a grin, as I flipped him the bird.

I pulled out my phone to text Dad quickly, telling him I was on my way out. He and mom stopped waiting by the locker room after a freshman year game and I asked them not to.

One, the other guys still got a hard-on when they saw my dad. Yeah, he played hockey. Yes, so do my brothers. But fuck, he was just a guy.

But also, two, because it was embarrassing having your mom and dad wait around for you.

I shot off the text to Dad then pulled up Mo’s picture, sending her a text as well. Her competitive cheer team had a huge competition this weekend, so regardless if I wanted some of her ‘magical pussy,’ as Alex called it, it was going to have to wait until Sunday night at the earliest.

Me: U on ur way to madison?

I continued to walk through the Ice Plex, waiting for her response. She left school during sixth period for her team’s last practice before competition. Our school was pretty lenient about things like that—so long as you had a note and a valid reason, you could get out of almost anything.

When she still hadn’t responded by the time I reached the doors, I pocketed my phone and pushed through, finding Dad’s truck in the parking lot in the same spot where he always parked.

He started always parking there when Myke’s team started to win games.

Continued to park there as Caleb’s team, eventually with the help of Jon Jon, won game after game.

So while his superstitious parking job didn’t start with me, it actually made me proud to know he kept up that tradition with me and my games, and that we continued to have great winning streaks.

The truck was running with the lights on, but I was sure they hadn’t been waiting too long. Our chat with Coach wasn’t a long one.

I went to the back of Dad’s truck and pulled down the gate, stuffing my gear bag into the covered bed, before moving to hop into the backseat of the truck on the driver’s side.

“Good game, Ports,” Dad said before I could even close the door.

“Thanks.”

“I saw you running your mouth, Porter,” Mom said, but her voice was amused.

I grinned and shrugged, pulling on my seat belt. “They expect it from me.”

Mom laughed and in the lights of the dash, I could see her shake her head.

“Have you heard from Mo? Did they make it to Madison?” Mom shifted in her seat so she could look back at me.

“No, not yet.” I pulled my phone from my back pocket to check if she responded yet.

Mom had been pretty excited when I told her I was dating Mo, to tell you the truth. Mo and I had been good friends for a lot of our school years, so I think Mom just expected us to eventually move on to the dating side of things.

When Dad found out, he just lifted a brow and asked if he needed to talk to me about sex.

I didn’t tell him that Mo and I had been sleeping together for a few years.

They didn’t need to know that.

But they were cool about Mo, which made seeing her a lot easier. They invited her to dinner all the time and treated her like they treated any of my siblings’ dates.

I turned the screen on and unlocked my phone when I saw she did respond.

Mo: Yep! Had another practice and we just got back from dinner. We toured alliant energy center too.

Me: that where ur competing?

Mo: Yeah.

Mo: How was the game?
