“Stop making it so obvious,” I hissed, as all four of them leaned over in unison to get a better view.
“How is it that you always manage to surround yourself with such hot, muscular men?”
I glared at Tina. “He’s single. Knock yourself out.”
“No! I called dibs first!” Shelly interjected.
“You’re not single!” Tina retorted. “You can’t call dibs.”
“Technically, you’re single now, too,” Charlotte offered.
Kenzie and Tina both looked at me, waiting for me to deny it. “I’m not interested in him like that. He’s my coach.”
“Let’s all remember what happened the last time she said that,” Tina said, nudging Shelly in the ribs.
Shelly bit her bottom lip, stifling a smile.
I scowled at her for finding Tina’s comment funny.
“Seriously, that’s the kind of guy she should be with,” Tina said. “I told her Chase was too vanilla for her.”
“Tina!” Shelly was back on my side now.
“Come on,” she continued. “I bet you he’s been through some shit in his life. She needs someone who understands her problems because he’s been through them himself. Chase couldn’t handle all of the baggage that she came with.”
“Do they always talk about you like you’re not standing here?” Charlotte asked.
“Always,” I replied flatly. My phone buzzed in the back pocket of my shorts. It was T.J. again:
Tanner wantsto know when he can talk to Charlotte. Poor bastard is dying over here.
I madesure that Charlotte wasn’t able to see my screen as I quickly texted him back:
The girls arebusy drooling over you at the moment. Tell him to give me two minutes.
Over me?
You’re surprised?
Oh,yeah. I forgot. I’m supposed to be arrogant.
I’m rollingmy eyes as I type this.
I know.I watched you.
That’s not creepy at all.
That did comeout a little stalkerish, huh?
I giggled.
“Who are you talking to?” Shelly snatched my phone from my hands, and her eyes widened. “You’re talking to him!”
“Who?” Kenzie asked, peering over her shoulder.
“I knew it.” Tina wore a smug expression.
“You better watch yourself,” I warned playfully. “I know how to fight now.”
