Sebastian

I DON’T KNOW why I let her get to me. There is no such thing as a logical purpose for Thalia having the ability to get underneath my pores and skin the best way she does. I do assume she goes to be the demise of me.

I believed I used to be awake earlier than everybody else this morning, however as a substitute, I discovered Thalia within the kitchen carrying nothing however an outsized T-shirt that wasn’t fairly large enough to cowl her crimson lace panties. It left little or no to the creativeness as she danced to the music from her headphones whereas engaged on her laptop computer.

Her lengthy legs caught my consideration, and I stared far longer than I ought to have. I couldn’t assist it. It was early sufficient that I couldn’t instantly curb my intrusive ideas of how they’d really feel wrapped round my waist, or how it will really feel to push them aside as I deliver her to the brink time and again till little Lia was begging for launch.

As quickly as I’ve these ideas, I begin to really feel responsible as a result of she’s Owen’s sister. My dick hasn’t gotten that message but. Thalia’s at all times been my weak point.

I didn’t know if I ought to say something as a result of each time I open my mouth round Thalia, I find yourself preventing along with her. A part of that’s self-preservation as a result of Thalia’s phrases harm in a different way than others. I believe it’s as a result of she means them, and I care what she thinks, no matter whether or not or not I ought to.

So as a substitute, I mentioned nothing. I walked straight previous her, holding my eyes locked on the entrance door as a result of I don’t have time for a distraction. That’s all Thalia is: a distraction.

Life is a sport to her.

She doesn’t want faculty. Thalia does it to appease her dad and mom, as she’s made so evident up to now. Nationwide magazines have been utilizing her images regardless of how younger she was. She doesn’t want any of this. I’m stunned she got here again in any respect.

I don’t want the diploma if I’m trustworthy, however I need one to fall again on. Soccer is unreliable sufficient to dream for a complete profession. One dangerous harm, and I’m performed. I would like to make use of all of my school eligibility earlier than I declare for the draft.

However Thalia is a distraction I have to get out of my head. Owen did me no favors when he requested if she might stay with us. What was I imagined to say? No?

I refocus on the turf beneath my ft, and the humidity is already inflicting beads of sweat to drip down my neck, soaking the shirt I’m carrying underneath all my gear. Fuck, I ought to have gone someplace chilly for varsity.

“Prepared, set, hut!” My fingers are prepared for the snap, and I instantly shift a couple of steps again. I scan the sphere for Owen, who I do know must be far sufficient down by now. Pulling my arm again, I’m able to launch for an extended go once I’m knocked to the bottom by a brutal sack I by no means noticed coming.

I can really feel my bones rattle inside my physique, whatever the protecting gear I’m carrying. I do know this one goes to depart a hell of a bruise. That is partially my fault as a result of I ought to have seen him get previous our offensive line. They need to have been masking me. That is imagined to be fucking follow, so I didn’t assume a success immediately would knock me flat on my ass.

“Adams, what the hell do you assume you’re doing hitting him that tough in follow?” Coach yells from the sideline as I push myself off the bottom.

“Coach, I—” Cody tries to defend himself, and I pull my helmet off to catch my breath, feeling a heat breeze throughout my face.

“It was my fault,” I yell again. “I took too lengthy making the go. If he can do it to me, he can do it to the opposite staff.” I say matter of factly, and Cody seems at me gratefully.

Coach stares at me for a tough minute earlier than shaking his head. “Get it collectively, Walker. We’d like you on level this weekend.”

I nod in acknowledgment, placing my helmet again on. By the lingering ache, one thing will bruise, however at the least I didn’t land on my shoulder. That might be a fucking catastrophe for any shot I’ve of going professional, and on the danger of sounding like Owen…I’ve a fairly good one. If this season goes how all of us need it to, I’ve a hell of a shot at being a first-round draft decide.

“Let’s go once more, similar play! Attempt to not let our QB get killed this time!” Coach yells, his booming voice echoing over the sphere.

I lock my focus in, not permitting any ideas of Thalia to creep previous the wall I’ve put up. Coach is correct. I have to be on level this weekend.

On the best way to the locker room, Cody grabs my shoulder to get my consideration. “You realize I didn’t imply to hit you that tough, proper?”

I crack a straightforward smile at him. “I virtually want you’d hit me tougher. Try this to the opposite aspect in our sport, and all’s forgiven.”

He breathes a sigh of aid, and I find yourself at my locker subsequent to Owen’s. I’m able to bathe and take an ice tub within the athletic coaching room. I despise how chilly these fuckers are, however they do assist with the soreness.

“You okay?” Owen asks, casting a aspect look at me, and I nod.

“Nice. I’ve taken worse hits.”

“You normally don’t get hit, particularly in follow. What occurred?”

Your sister not carrying pants occurred. I ignore him, peeling off my drenched shirt to toss it in my locker. “I wasn’t paying consideration. I’m positive, dude.” It’s not convincing sufficient, however Owen is aware of higher than to press me. “You picked your piece of shit up earlier, proper?”

“In the event you’re referring to my lovely truck, I did. She’s not a bit of shit,” he defends hotly, grabbing the towel off his hook.

“I hope she doesn’t break down on the aspect of the street once more.”
