That smile curls, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, I’m sure. Plus, they all forget, we get on a plane early tomorrow, and right back to practice."

"Alright, as long as, you’re sure; But Jax…" I trail off, waiting for him to look at me and he when he does, he meets my gaze and my brows scrunch, "Promise me you are going to still do your guy nights and experience what this is all about."

He nods, "I will, when the time is right."

I lift a brow in a question and he huffs his smile, "I see it a little different than them."

"How so?"

"Every win deserves a celebration, but the one that matters is the one we are chasing; That’s the one where I will celebrate big."

I giggle, "Yeah, drunk for a week acting like kings."

"Essentially." We both laugh, my head going back and all.

Getting his shirt on, I stand from the chair I had sat in, and make my way to him. Reaching up, I fix the collar on his shirt as he buttons it.

"I want to spend what time I can alone with you, it’s not that easy at home." Jax says softly.

"No, but it’s kind of a busy time too, practice, games, travel."

"Yeah. Have you thought anymore about Kenny’s offer?"

"I have been yes. When we get home I’m going to call Keri and see how she feels about it all too. She may not want it at all."

"It would be nice for her to be with you though."

"Yeah, it would, but I don’t want us both to be unhappy so we can be close again."

"I get that." He says as he leans down and plants a kiss to my cheek, finishing with buttoning his shirt.

"Let’s go have a little fun, then, I’m bringing you back here."

I giggle and turn my head, meeting his lips as I press mine to his. We share our kiss for a minute, it’s not sloppy, it’s meaningful, the love story he likes to tell through his lips is being told as his hand slides over my hip to my back.

Pulling me into him, before his hand drops and cups my ass cheek, giving his hand full squeeze.

His lips hover mine, "What did Josh say to you?"

"What do you mean?"

"How did you end up in the box?"

My head kind of goes back with the slight annoyed tone he is carrying, "I ran into him in the hallway, he said that he figured something out about you."

"Yeah, and what’s that?"

"The closer I am to you, the better you play."

He huffs before his jaw clenches and I can see the irritation flaring in his eyes. So, I ask him, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing you need to worry about Angel."

My brows scrunch, and now I take a step back, "Jax, don’t do this. Tell me now."

"I think he’s using you to get to me."
