We were so close to all of the action. I could see every play.
Every hit, every catch and every perfect spiral as it traveled down the field.
I can’t stop cheering.
Dad and I are still standing there when Chloe and Sabrina run over to us.
“Oh, My God! That was AMAZING!” Chloe is so loud that Dad takes a step back.
I excitedly hug her. “It was. That was so much fun to watch. I love it when they win!”
“Where are you ladies going to be waiting for your brothers? I’ll walk you. I have a plane to catch and have to get going.”
“Thanks, Mr. Sinclair. I parked by the guy's cars, so we were just going to wait there.” We are following behind my dad when Chloe leans into me. “Your dad is so freaking hot, Nat.”
“Oh, my God. Stop.” I laugh.
She snaps a quick picture. “I’m texting this to Luca.”
We all walk over to Chloe’s car. Then leaning in, my dad hugs me. Whispering in my ear, “If your brother throws a party tonight, do not let anyone destroy our house, please. Absolutely no drinking and driving. I’m trusting you both. Remember, good decisions.” Then he straightens. “Goodnight, ladies.” Kissing my cheek, he walks away as if he did not just blow my mind.
Dad knows we’re throwing a party?
And, he’s okay with it?
What the hell?
I wait for him to be out of earshot. “Holy shit, my dad knows that we are throwing a party and just said not to destroy his house. He didn’t say no parties. He didn’t sound pissed. Just don’t destroy the house.” I’m shocked.
“Awesome! Don’t worry too much about the house. I can help you clean up tomorrow.”
“Me too.” Sabrina chimes in. “My soccer game is at nine in the morning, so I can come over after it’s done in the afternoon. We should be back by twelve.”
“Thanks, girls!”
Tiffany practically skips over to us. Her cheer bag with pom poms sticking out of it is on one arm, and another cheerleader is on her other arm. Brady’s secret freaking cheerleader, Aria, is behind them with two other girls I don’t know. They’ve all changed out of their uniform into tight little dresses. “Did I hear right, girls? Cooper said earlier today there is a party at your house tonight, Natalie.”
“That’s what he told me today. I didn’t make any plans, so I don’t even know what we have at the house.”
Aria answers. “Don’t worry about that. Everyone will bring something. They always do. You just have to order pizza and some food for the team. The rest of us save our carbs for the beer.” They all laugh at that like it was the funniest thing anyone has ever said.
I just look at Chloe and Sabrina, who are both unamused. Chloe and Sabrina are dressed more like me in jeans and cute shirts. Sabrina’s hair is in a loose braid and Chloe has hers parted down the middle, with a tight bun on either side.
Hoots and hollering are coming toward us now from the direction of the locker room.
By the time I finally see the guys heading in our direction, my nerves are shot. I expected to see Brady smiling and laughing like Murphy, Bash, and Cooper are. I wasn’t expecting serious Brady, but the look on his face is almost scary. He walks toward us like a man on a mission.
Dropping his bag, he picks me up in a fluid motion and keeps walking.
Out of instinct, I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. He moves until we are behind his car, and he has me leaning against the back of the Range Rover. Completely out of sight of everyone else.
The catcalls have already started, and the guys are loud.
“Tell me, Natalie. Tell me now.”
“Tell you what?”
“Why are you wearing my jersey?”
