The Player
Page 26
“First Santiago and now the carpet. Take it easy there, turbo, and save some energy for the game tonight.”
I glance over to Drew as he tightens a spike on his cleat while I wear a hole in the carpet of the locker room. “What the fuck is taking them so long?”
“Maybe that lady friend of yours is spilling your deep dark secrets.”
I halt midstride and glare at him and his half-cocked smirk.
“You think those of us who know you well don’t know you’ve got the hots for each other? Dude, the way you look at her is enough to make me get a boner.”
I roll my eyes. “Fuck you.”
“I got you to laugh and stopped you from making me dizzy watching you walk back and forth like a caged animal.”
“Whatever.” As soon as I say it, I realize I’m already pacing again. Shit. All I can do is hang my head and laugh at proving him right.
“My job here is done.”
“Such an asshole,” I mutter.
“You wouldn’t want me any other way.” He pats me on the back. “She better hurry the fuck up because if I have to see Santiago behind the plate one more night, instead of your ugly mug, you’re going to owe me more than just a round of beer.”
“Agreed,” I laugh as he heads into the tunnel and out to the dugout where I want to be.
My phone rings.
I can’t get to it fast enough.
“Finn. I’ve already got my jersey on. Tell me I’m good to go.”
“Easton.”
“Sweet.”
“Easton.” His voice is harsher. It begs me to stop moving. “I just got word.”
“Finn?”
“You’ve just been traded.”
