“How did it go?”

Isaac looked off to the side Candy was listening to us eagerly “Let’s go in here for a second” I followed him into an empty conference room

The Warriors logo was faded on the wall I wondered what it was like to attendapart I didn't think anybody was left fro everyone off

Sure, playing for the Warriors was a way to get in the door for the AFA That's what the trainers toldthey could put on their resu with incredible athletes But they had no intention of staying

“What’s up? Hoas the ? What did she say when you told her?” I knew I sounded like a guy on proe were just a pretty package on the way to the inevitable

Isaac leaned against the wall “Look, I kissed her”

“What the fuck, man?”

He shoved his hands in his pockets “I won’t touch her once the engageured it was my last chance,” he admitted “I didn’t do it to piss you off”

The instinct to be mad vanished I didn’t have a real claim on Vanessa It was all fake All for publicity And I wasn’t the faithful type Co tofrom him

I laughed “I can’t blaeous”

“Yeah Those eyes” He looked down at his boots “And you have her for the entire season I didn’t think a kiss would ht thing to do”

“And you always do the right thing,” I joked Isaac was so honorable it wasn’t funny His time with the Navy Seals was imprinted on his soul There was no way to separate it from his character

I tried to reirl Or if we had ever fought over one Not that that was the case now We knew there was a brotherly code between us that wouldn’t be broken Especially not by a woman I trusted him

“But she's okay with the whole thing?” I realize how fucking stupid I sounded Like the nervous prom date

Isaac slapped me on the shoulder “I think she's in over her head She doesn't know anything about the business, or running the team It’s clear that Steve pushed her into this I kind of feel bad for her”
