Lexie
“How is the new apartment?” Abbie asks.
“It’s nice,” I tell her as I unpack another box.
I left Dayton a month ago, just as soon as I got the offer from the Ravens. They offered me my dream job, so how was I supposed to say no?
When I initially applied, before I met Carter, I was hesitant. The Ravens are clear across the country, and I had never known anywhere except Dayton as home.
After everything with Carter, the move was more than welcomed.
Not only did I manage to land my dream job, but it was for my dad’s rival team. Now, I get to stick it to him twice.
Only, I’m the one suffering.
Despite Carter’s attempts with the random woman coming forward, claiming to be in the video with him, the idea was already planted in the heads of the players.
I had been prepared to get shit for being a female therapist. I was prepared for rude and derogatory comments even flirting. I can even manage them being misogynistic dicks and thinking I’m not qualified because I’m a woman.
What I can’t deal with is the fact that they somehow think I can fuck them into recovery. That it worked for Carter, so it would work for them. Like I have a magical pussy or something. Idiots.
“Rough day?” she asks.
Being my only sounding board on the subject, Abbie has heard every detail of the inappropriateness that happens on a daily basis at work.
“Maybe I should just have sex with one of them already and suck at it. Lay there like a limp noodle and make weird sounds. That way, they can talk about how awful I am, and we can just move on from this shit.”
“Are there any worthwhile?” she teases.
The thing is, there probably are, but since Carter, no man looks as appealing. No man captivates me the way he does.
“Carter stopped by again yesterday,” Abbie continues.
“He did?”
I don’t know why I’m surprised. The guy is nothing if not persistent. Since I left, he’s called no less than four times a day. He sends random messages telling me he loves and misses me, with no sign of him giving up anytime soon.
“Yep. Even when the man is devastated, he’s gorgeous.”
Is she trying to torture me here? I know exactly how gorgeous every square inch of him is. Memories of us together flood my mind.
“Lexie,” Abbie shouts into the phone.
“Huh? What?”
She sighs irritated by my lack of focus on our conversation.
“I said, I don’t understand why you haven’t gotten back together with him. You’re not working for the Knights, and you’re not talking to your dad. There’s nothing holding you back.”
“Nothing except Carter’s recovery and career.”
“If your dad wanted him off the team, he would have done something about it already.”
“Except that we’re not together anymore. If we were… who knows what he would do.”
“But…”
