“This is my life. Not some movie,” I scoff.
“Dude, I told you it was stupid to get locked down,” he retorts since I think Brett will forever be a bachelor.
Wolfe walks up to our group. He’s the captain of the Rangers but we are also friends from college.
“What’s going on?” he asks looking a little confused as he watches the guys waiting with anticipation.
“Take a seat. I’m just about to confirm to all of you what an idiot I really am.” I motion for him to take a seat, so he sits on one of the couch’s facing the front of the room.
“You better hurry up then. I just saw Coach outside the door on a call,” he warns.
“So as I was saying I was going to surprise Evie at work with flowers. It was our one-year anniversary, and she wrote me a long text the night before about being upset we couldn’t be together. We were on the road, but I didn’t tell her we were arriving in the morning.”
Wolfe hisses and I haven’t even gotten to the good part.
“To make a long story short I walk into her office to find her skirt up to her waist and she’s lying on her back across her desk but she was facing the window so at first I thought maybe she was getting herself off so I was like cool. I walk around her desk to find her sixty-year-old boss with silver hair shirtless. His face between her thighs. He didn’t even stop licking her pussy when he saw me. She told him she was so close so he kept going.”
“What the fucking hell. . .” Brett hisses. “I warned you about that. . .” his face is beet red and he stands to his full height. As a defensive player he is tall, big and strong and right now he looks like he wants to cause damage.
“Damn bro,” Kaleb winces. “That’s messed up.”
“Right?” I say. “Why would she want some old guy with wrinkly nuts when she could have me at my prime?”
“She’s a fool. That’s why,” Wolfe confirms. “Sorry man. I know it sucks but consider yourself lucky.”
He knew I wanted to ask her to move in with me.
“Seriously,” Liam adds. “You dodged a bullet with that one.”
“Yeah, well I feel like shit. My girlfriend left me for an old dude,” I say. I know some of the other guys on the team are listening to me tell the story and they watch me with sympathy. It’s not like I can say she left me for some famous Hollywood actor who looks good. She left me for a guy old enough to be her father. It stings.
“Bro, I get your hurting but be patient. The right girl is out there,” Liam assures giving my shoulder a squeeze.
“You would say that now. You found the love of your life,” I say not wanting to sound bitter because I’m happy for my friend but I sound resentful anyway.
“Your time will come. I think finding the right girl happens when you least expect it,” Wolfe says.
“Yeah, well I’m done. I’m not looking for a relationship. I just want to have fun. It’s easier. Putting your heart on the line only to have it crushed is brutal,” I state.
Brett smacks his thigh. “That’s exactly what I’ve been telling you dude.”
Coach walks into the room and we all quiet down.
“Morning, men. Before we review some plays, I just want to mention some logistics. We got a new physical therapy assistant. Patty Sanders is going to be working for the team full time and will be assisting Jamie for all your needs. If you recognize the last name, then you’re observant. Patty is my daughter,” Coach says pointedly. “She is also an employee of the team. There are strict non-fraternization policies in place so don’t think you can hit on my daughter or ask her out. Patty is good at what she does and should be treated in the same way you would treat Mike.”
I blink slowly at Coach’s words. I really messed up with Patty this morning. First whistling then complimenting her fine ass. I’m still thinking of the way her fingers felt working out all my kinks. I know my head is messed up though. There is no way I am really attracted to her. I’m just heartbroken and acting like an idiot.
“I received therapy this morning and she did a bang up job,” I call out. Liam’s head swings to me and he gives me a look like he thinks I’ve lost it. Maybe I have.
Coach gives me a pointed glare.
“I’m serious Hayworth,” Coach snaps glaring at me. Then his gaze roams over the room. “Patty is here to work. Treat her with the respect she deserves.”
“Of course, Coach. My apology,” I say. Liam rubs his forehead beside me. “I was just trying to be complimentary.”
Coach then moves on to different plays from our last game. We made some mistakes but luckily, we were able to bounce back and win. After the meeting the guys disperse. I head back to therapy room because I need to make sure I didn’t insult Patty in any way.
When I knock on her office door she looks up as if she is surprised to see me. I guess that makes sense because she gave me a full work up this morning.
