The fact that I just introduced Brooke to Erik as a woe to the team that she’s not just arendacross the rooaze to Brooke, but holdas she talks to Erik’s arm-candy date, whose name I still have no clue about

We’ve finished dinner, which was a two-and-a-half-hour affair, and now soathered in the spacious bar area of the restaurant, while others are still lingering over dessert in the dining room

“How in the hell could you keep quiet about dating the coach’s daughter?” Erik asks end’s just was “I mean, you dated her while you played for the Vipers and while Perron coached the Phantoms And you never told anyone about it?”

Dax laughs and claps Erik on the back “I knew about it But I’ secrets”

I have to grin at that Dax has appointed himself as a character in our hoax upon Coach Perron and the teaht someone questioned ht in and loudly told everyone listening that he knew froo

In fact, he went on to start feeding the fake details of the story of hoe reat specificity e’d told Coach Perron, and Dax picked right back up there

“We were at Club Zero,” he told the group that ht We had purposely sat doith some of the players we didn’t know very well in an effort to start getting to know them “And there were so many people there, because this is like a really hot space to party At any rate, Bishop saw Brooke on the dance floor and he became like a zoue all hanging out He only got the guts to go talk to her after I plied hiave him about ten pep talks Yeah…you could say their entire relationship is all , as Bishop was too much of a pussy to approach her otherwise”

I wanted to cheerfully strangle hi frohly a I could do to correct hi to it,up shit on the fly We revealed the secrecy in that we just didn’t want to cos with her dad, but he found out and so we’re co that no one know that Coach Perron actually caught hter in her office

“What’s Coach Perron really like when he’s not riding our asses at practice?” Legend asks, jolting me back to the present

I shrug as I turn to look at hiruff, and he’s overprotective of Brooke, but he just wants what’s best for her”

I had deterreed to enter into this deception that I was going to paint Coach in as good a light as he’d letour relationship stable when Brooke and I “broke up”

“You know you’re fucked if this thing with her doesn’t go the distance,” Legend returns to me

He wouldn’t be wrong about that

“Is it going to go the distance?” Erik asks casually

“It’s serious,” is all I’eured he isn’t really going to say anything publicly about it until it’s done for, and I’m not about to do that, so for now, Brooke and I are just dating and I’ve confiruys at dinner, and Dax, Erik, and Legend, word is going to get around probably before the night ends that Brooke and I are a serious couple

I look back over at Brooke I have to ad dinner Both of us kept light on details, but when she spoke about me it armth and affection She was also attentive to the other people at the table, and it was a good opportunity for me to actually observe her for the very first ti over us or without us being preoccupied with sex I found out tonight that just watching someone interact with others will tell you a lot about them
