“That was surprising,” Coach Harris says, extremely stunned.
“Do you have any idea how much money we raised?” Aaron asks.
“Not sure,” I tell them. “But my guess would be somewhere upwards of twenty-five grand. I won’t know until I can sit down with a calculator, but that, including the thirty we’ve already made from the calendars, is pretty damn impressive.”
The boys laugh as we celebrate our huge win for the night. “Go get your skates off. You’ve all got a woman to impress,” I say, then glance over to Jaxon. “Except you. Jared loves Chinese food, by the way.”
“Shut up,” he groans as they all break away and head for the locker room.
Miller stays behind and helps me down off the little stage before carrying me to the side where I can stand without making a fool of myself. “Looks like I’ve got a date with your mom,” he comments.
“Looks like it,” I laugh.
“Any tips?” he asks nervously.
“No, she’s super easy,” I tell him. “Just be your normal, charming self. But if that fails, lose your shirt.”
Chapter 16
Miller
“Heyman,haveyouseen this?” Tank asks as he kicks his way through my front door.
I hit pause on my game as I glance up at him. “Seen what?”
He throws his phone down into my lap as he passes me and heads for the kitchen, opening the fridge and pulling out a beer. “The girls’ latest article was just posted.”
“Ahh,” I say, picking up his phone to find the article. I quickly read through it and find a huge grin on my face by the time I get to the end. “Fuck, they make us sound so much better than we are,” I laugh as I scroll through the pictures Dani attached to the article. I get to the end to find it’s already been viewed over two thousand times.
Tank comes and joins me on the couch, picking up my discarded controller and hitting play. “I know,” he says. “They’re killing this assignment.” He grins proudly, and I must say, it’s a nice change to see this guy finally with a woman he loves.
“Yeah,” I smile. “So, what’s up?”
“Nothing. Wanted to chill.”
“Bullshit. I saw you two hours ago. You never want to chill after a gym session.”
He places the controller down on the coffee table next to his beer and takes a deep breath. “I’m thinking about asking Sophie to move in with me,” he says just as I lift my drink to my lips and tip its contents down my throat.
I do my best not to spray it all over my living room as I take him in. “What?” I ask, completely shocked. Tank prides himself on living alone and hates company. Hell, the dickhead didn’t even want to move in with me. “That’s pretty serious. It’s a huge step for you.”
“I know, man,” he says. “But I can’t imagine not living with her. We’re practically together every night anyway.”
“True. How do you think she’s going to take it?” I ask with a smirk, knowing just how hard Tank has had to fight to get any sort of commitment out of that girl.
“Fuck man, you know what she’s like,” he laughs. “It won’t be good. She’ll have my balls for even asking, but she’ll give in eventually.”
“Yeah, she will,” I agree.
“How are things going with Dani?” he asks, picking up the controller once again.
I smile, thinking about my sweet girl. “Great,” I tell him honestly. “She’s amazing, but I feel like she’s hiding something.”
“Hiding something?” he asks with curiosity. “What? Like she’s cheating?”
“Nah, nothing like that,” I tell him. “I don’t know, it’s like something has her running scared. She puts on a brave face and acts like nothing’s wrong, but I can see it. Something’s bothering her.”
“Did you ask her about it?”
