Shayna wandered off and I closed in on Rome.
Maybe in the right version of the world and my mind, I should have started out by trying to kiss Rome’s ass. Maybe even kiss his ass literally.
Yeah. Right.
I grabbed Rome by the shirt and lifted him up.
I turned to my left, found the nearest locker, and slammed him against it.
I turned again and threw him.
He stayed on his feet, stumbling, laughing the entire time.
I went after him again.
Far from focused. Too busy thinking about Anna. Realizing us getting caught was a really bad thing. Especially if it was going to make her want to run away from me.
I threw a right hook and Rome ducked down.
“Shit, Joe!” Rome growled. “I’m sorry…”
He came up with a sledgehammer of a fist to my stomach.
It knocked the wind out of me and made me stop.
Rome grabbed my shoulders. “I didn’t want to hit you, man.”
My right hand moved for his face and I grabbed his jaw.
His lips puckered tight together.
Of course Rome being the prick he was, he started to smack his lips together, making some kind of kissing fish face.
I let him go.
“I thought I was having a wild day,” Rome said.
“When did you get here? I’ve been here practicing.”
“Doesn’t matter. I think we need to have a chat.”
“Rome…”
“Let me say it. Let me do my thing here, Joe.”
“Go for it,” I growled.
“Look. I was giving Shayna a tour. We ended up in the showers. A little fun. You know? That’s one thing. Let’s be honest, Joe. That was…” Rome wiped his forehead. “That was nothing compared to what you did. You’re fucking your therapist. The hired psychologist to help you get back on the ice and back in games? And you’re fucking her?”
I thought about throwing eighty lies against the wall and seeing which one Rome would grab at.
My hesitation worked against me.
Rome touched my face with both hands. “You’re fucking her? That’s amazing. And complicated. It’s making me hard. The thought of you two…”
I pushed Rome away. “Okay, that’s enough. You saw what you saw. You heard what you heard.”
“But…”
