“Adriana Johnson. Cole has been after you since he met you that day you were interviewing with me. You have just been skirting around him, even though you were into him. Dani and I made you see reason. And maybe Cole did too.” Heather almost scolds me.

“Fine, fine. No marriage talk yet. Like I said, we haven’t even slept together. What if the sex is awful? I don’t know if I would want to be married to someone if it was. I don’t think it will be because our chemistry is off the charts and he’s not lacking below the belt either,” I say to them.

Dani starts to laugh and Heather pretends to throw up.

“Wait, how do you know he’s not lacking below the belt, then?” Dani asks.

“We may have had an intense make-out session last night.”

“Oh, you naughty woman. Trying to keep details from us,” Heather says.

“Not everything is for you two, you know.” I laugh out.

“So itisserious. She only keeps details to herself when it means something to her.” Dani tells Heather.

I take a second to think about what Dani just said. I guess she isn’t wrong. Some things are just private and I want to keep them to myself. There are moments that are just for me and the person involved in them. That normally only happens when my feelings are in deep or on their way to getting there.

“Oh Dani, I think you are right! Look at her thinking.” Heather says.

“Okay, so back to Dylan Crawford.” I say to redirect the conversation.

“Oh yeah? What about him?” Dani asks.

“Cole told me he said some things that weren’t appropriate regarding me. Basically, he asked if Cole would hook him up with me. And then Ty gave him the same Adriana-is-off-limit-speech that he did for the rest of the team to which his response was to say what if I wanted to get to know him and that he wouldn’t run me off right away. So the boys don’t want either Heather or I to be alone with him since they got a weird vibe from him from that.” I tell Dani.

“Cole didn’t even tell you the best part?” Heather asks.

“The best part?” I ask to her question.

“Oh yeah, apparently Sean stood up for him and then Dylan came with his tail between his legs at the end of night and apologized.” Heather tells us.

“No, he did not tell me that part. Good, I hope he meant it too. I guess we will see what happens after the game, though.” I say.

As soon as I finished, the alarm on Heather’s phone goes off, letting us know we need to get ready to go to the game tonight. We are heading there a little early to show Dani around the stadium.

“Time to get ready, ladies.” Heather says.

Girls’ day comes to the end and now to get ready for a fun night.

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

Adriana

We’ve been showing Dani around the stadium since she’s never been to a game before. I now know how Heather felt showing me around. I love being able to see the stadium through someone who hasn’t.

We just finished showing Dani around the clubhouse when Heather looks at her watch.

“Let’s head out to the field before we go to our seats.” Heather says.

“Okay!” Dani says.

We step out of the clubhouse and into the dugout. We all just take it in for a moment before I grab Dani’s hand and lead her up the few steps up and onto the field.

Dani’s eyes widen as she takes in the view from the field of the stadium. She plasters a huge smile on her face while spinning around to view it all. She stops and her gaze lands on the team in the outfield. Some guys are stretching, playing catch or running.

“Whoa. This is nuts. It looks so different from this angle.” Dani says in amazement.

“It's an amazing view, isn’t it?” Heather asks with a smirk looking at Dani.
