“Now we’re talking,” Matt adds.
I’m honestly not sure Kaleb has even gotten laid. He was a virgin when he first started on the team and one day he showed up and told the guys his card was taken, but he hasn’t dated anyone I know of.
“Whatever,” I mutter. “Let’s finish this damn game.” I look out to the endless green grass and suck down way too much lemonade. What I need is a dip in the ocean to cool down.
“It never ends,” Kaleb says.
“We’re going clubbing tonight,” Brett intervenes. “Everyone is in. We are living it up.”
Don’t get me wrong. I get where Brett is coming from. We work hard all season. We drink alcohol to a minimum. It’s rare we get more than a day or two of vacation that doesn’t involve some sort of training or playing a game. This is our time to fuck off, and I’m on board.
After golfing the guys separate to their rooms. Some of them say they are going to take a nap. I switch into my swim trunks and head to the beach. I need a good swim against the currents.
The water is as refreshing as I knew it would be. After I’ve swam the length of about a mile back and forth, I settle on one of the lounge chairs on the beach by our hotel. I watch the waves, which is relaxing, but I’m bored so I pick up my phone. What time is it in London anyway?
Me: How’s London?
I shoot Patty a message because we are friends, and it’s nice to check up on a friend who is on vacation on their own on the other side of the world.
Patty:Who is this?
Me:Funny. You having a good time?
Patty: Define good time. London was nice.
Me:Just nice?
Patty:Yeah. How is Florida?
Me:Okay.
Patty:Just, okay?
Me:Touché.
Patty:I’m bored, okay? I thought travelling on my own was going to be an exciting adventure, but I have no one to talk to. I’m always inside my head. I think I may be going crazy. I’m in Scotland now. It’s freaking beautiful, but I’m still going crazy with no one to talk to, you know?
I’m not expecting the overshare, but I’ll take it because I feel like Patty understands me better than the guys do right now.
Me:I golfed today with the guys, and I was bored out of my mind. Now I’m sitting on the beach by myself.
Patty:Show me a pic of the beach.
I can do better than that.
I stand from my lounge chair and turn my back to the ocean. I take a selfie with the beach as my background. My hair is slicked back, and my skin is damp from my swim. I include my chest and abs in the photo. We are just friends, but she should know just how hot I am.
I send the pic and wait.
The balls are rolling on her end.
Patty:I didn’t ask you for a selfie. I asked you for a view of the beach.
Me:I gave you a two in one. Consider it a good deal.
Patty:You’re conceited.
Me:Am not. I just figured you should have a picture of your friend on vacation. Now show me a pic of where you are. I’ve never been to Scotland. I’ve never actually left North America.
