Chapter 16
Maddox
Usually, I can always keep my head cool. During a game that I know, we are losing? No problem. After being tackled by a dude my fellow teammates couldn’t take down on the field? No problem.
But when Jason and the other guys are talking to Michelle? I’m having trouble whisking eggs in peace.
Here I am, trying to impress Michelle, and these assholes are flirting with her to keep her attention on them.
I know what you’re thinking: young jocks don’t want relationships at this point in their lives. But there is where you are wrong. Michelle is excellent at baking and cooking, and all guys here are enormous-mentioning food is how you speak to our souls.
My nostrils flare when Jason, the idiot, wags his eyebrows my way with a smirk on his lips. He leans closer to Michelle, where she sits on her chair, and my skin boils.
I obviously can’t be in love with her: she isn’t my type, but WHY ARE THEY ALL SO CLOSE TO HER?!
I pour pancake batter into the pan, glaring at Jason. Lionel and Robin are sitting with Michelle too. Fuck. Their goofy smiles and blushes annoy the hell out of me. Who do they think they are?!
I tell you what they are: bastards for thinking Michelle would date either one of them. She is intelligent, brilliant, and sweet. Adorable. Cute and caring-if these people think I would let them close to her, they are wrong.
Michelle is…
She is…
My cheeks flare for whatever reason, and my heart pounds inside my chest. I’m super
confused but luckily manage to flip my pancakes in time not to burn them.
I slept with Michelle, and I liked it.
Does that mean anything?
I’ve had sex before-I’m not a virgin, but it felt different. It wasn’t just about me; it was about her. I wanted to please her, and the way she handled my body?
Fuck.
