Page 11 of The Break Out

Chandler’s best friend, Audrey, meets us at the outdoor shopping center. I invited Spencer, but she said she was extremely inspired and needed to focus. Audrey insists we start at the store that sells lingerie because she needs some new options for her shows as a cam girl.

I feel bad for the amount of walking we’re doing because Chandler seems to struggle to keep up a bit with her extremely pregnant belly. She says she’s okay, but I’m finding it hard to believe when she presses her hand to her lower back as she walks.

While Audrey is in the changing room with a whole armful of lace and string that I couldn’t even imagine trying to get onto my body, Chandler turns toward me on the plush couch outside the changing rooms.

“So, we haven’t gotten the chance to talk about that Colton situation,” she starts with a raised eyebrow.

Audrey must hear because she calls from behind the curtain, “Yeah what the fuck was up with that asshole?”

They’ve known about my aversion to a certain annoying hockey player since last season, but that was the first time anyone except Spencer has seen his handiwork firsthand. And it’s definitely the first time he’s tried any of his tactics around my brother.

“I think he either has a death wish or has some weird goal to try and fuck me.” I shrug, those are the two possibilities I’ve thought of when it comes to Colton Wheeler’s attention.

“If he keeps trying to pull that in front of Brent, hedefinitelyhas a death wish,” Chandler nods.

Audrey comes out wearing a tight purple corset top that pushes her boobs up and some lace underwear that match. I respect her confidence to wear things like that because I’m comfortable with my body, but I wouldn’t dare.

“I think he really wants to fuck you.” Audrey shrugs.

“Hot. That’s a yes,” Chandler says pointing to the outfit.

“Done.” Audrey nods.

“I think he wants to fuck anyone who looks at him,” I grumble.

“Charlie has said he’s a total prick and acts like he’s still a part of another team,” Audrey adds while walking back behind the curtain.

Chandler nods, “Yeah, even last season after he got tradedMatt would come home and talk about how badly he wants to beat him into the ice.”

“You know, I would love to see that, actually,” I smirk.

“Same!” Audrey exclaims while changing.

I chuckle, “Anyway, it doesn’t matter. I don’t care what he does or who decides to fight him, he can keep trying to get with me, but it’ll never happen.”

Chandler raises her eyebrow at me. “Those are famous last words.”

Audrey peeks her head out of the curtain. “Yeah, they are. I would know, I said it’d never happen with Charlie and…well…here we are.”

“I mean it though; I’ve gone the last twenty-five years knowing I will never date a hockey player because of my brother. That won’t change, especially for a guy like Colton.”

Audrey gives me a skeptical look before disappearing back behind the curtain. Chandler also looks at me suspiciously.

“You guys suck, I mean it. I havezerointerest,” I insist.

“All I’m saying is that I will get to say, ‘I told you so.’” Chandler shrugs.

“I give it a month,” Audrey adds.

I just roll my eyes at the two of them. Clearly, they underestimate how stubborn I am. Because when I set my mind tosomething I mean it. And I’ve had my mind set on this my entire life. It’s not changing.

We areall in the WAGs suite at the game against L.A. Audrey and Chandler spend the warmups down at the glass because they insist they need a prime view. Spencer was tempted to go with them but knew that might create some chaos and she’s trying to keep a low profile these days.

I have no desire to watch that up close. Or really at all, which is why I spend the time getting myself a drink. I’m only allowed one at the beginning of the game since I’ll have to drive myself home.

I return to Spencer’s side with my cider in hand and as soon as I sit down, I overhear a particular group of women gossiping about my friends and I just roll my eyes.

“Give it a rest,” I sigh.
