Fuck!

I press play. Coach can kill us if he wants to, but this is more important than a second set of drills. I've never listened to his podcast in my life, but I need to know what I'm up against. How the hell do I protect her when everything she needs protecting from is out of my control?

'Hey, OTs! Today, I have the best episode for you! So, you've heard about our Wolf and his claims on Mia Hark. Who? I hear you ask! Let me tell you all about her as we've been friends for years and I'm here with all the deets.'

Blood pumps, hot and heavy, into my chest. This douche is her friend? I definitely need to find out who it is a hell of a lot quicker and make sure he's quiet for the rest of his time on campus, or his whole damn life!

'Now I'm about to put the recording on.It will sound muffled as my device was in my pocket. The voices you need to know, for reference, are my own, Mia's, and her friends, Avery and Autumn. Enjoy! And as always, comment, share and DM if you want more deets.'

I press pause and glower at Kit. "You listened to this?"

He shakes his head. "I figured you would want to get there first, well, amongst our house… do you think Zac knows about it?"

...'she doesn't make it sound all that enthralling'.

"Yeah, he knows." I nod as I press play.

*Rustling*

Host:Hey, princess, I brought muffins!

Mia:Awww, you didn't have to do that!

Hearing her in my ears tightens my chest. It’s barely begun, and I want to rip his head off. I’ve never been in the presence of that tone, and I hate him more for it.She's on here because of her association with me…the thought enters my head before I can bat it away. No one is safe withOff Topic,but I hate that she’s already suffering because I picked rowing as my career, and in college that comes with reputation and fame.

Avery:What flavor?

Host:Blueberry.

Autumn:You know I'm allergic to blueberries, douche move, but you're always the idiot that buys what you like and expects others to eat it. Have you noticed that? You keep pushing into this apartment, but you have to know that I only allow it because I love my girl.

The host laughs nervously. Hmmm, she was quiet at Dexter’s but I’m rather liking Autumn.

Host:So, darling, tell me all about last night!

*Sounds of running water and the coffee machine firing to life*

Mia:Zac is the biggest ass on this whole campus, that's the lot of it.

Host:Hahaha! Okay, I mean, no one is going to argue with your case, but we're talking about Austin Whitlock.

Mia:Were we?

I smirk, imagining the quirk of her brow. Damn, her sass makes my dick twitch.

Host:You can't avoid forever...

He sings it at her, and I want to stop listening and head out to kill him right the fuck now.

Avery:He saved her and she woke up in his bed.

Mia:Avery!

I feel Mia's frustration and I agree with her. Avery needs to learn to keep her mouth shut. But I need to remind myself that Avery doesn't know that he’s recording. This is a private conversation between friends, they just don't know one of their friends is already betraying them.

What. An. Ass.

A dead ass.
