Greg frowned in confusion.

Kelsey noticed so she explained. “There’s been some vandalism around the shelter so he’s staying in the apartment above it.”

Greg grunted. “Figures he found a place to live so quickly. I guess he got tired of sleeping in his car.”

“Why would Adrian sleep in his car?”

Greg acted shocked. “You haven’t heard. I thought you would know. He was kicked out of the team house when he was suspended from the team.”

“What?” Kelsey felt sick. She had to take several deep breaths to not throw up all over the grass by her feet. “They threw him out of his house?”

Greg made a sound that was a mixture of a laugh and a snort. “He’s not on the team so why would he live in the house?”

“But it’s only temporary!”

“Maybe according to the university’s rules, but the team has their own. He needs to get voted back on. That’s unlikely to happen.”

“Oh, God. What have I done?” she muttered to herself. Kelsey leaned over with her hands on her knees, trying to suck in air. He was right. She had ruined his life.

NINETEEN

Coming Clean

Kelsey straightened.She was going to fix things and make it right no matter what it took.

Greg stood next to her, appearing concerned. “Are you alright? Maybe you should sit down.”

Kelsey took another deep breath to calm herself enough to think. She needed to do something about her car and find a way to get Adrian. Crap. She didn’t have his phone number.

Greg placed his hand on her upper arm. “Why don’t you call a tow truck, and I can go get Adrian.”

Kelsey studied him. “Why would you offer to get him?”

“We’ve been friends for years. Of course, I would go get one of my teammates.”

Kelsey glared at him. “You just said that the team kicked him out. Aren’t you one of the team?”

“I didn’t get a say in whether he stayed or not. It wasn’t up to me. They had already done it before I found out about it.” He rubbed her arm. “I’ll get Adrian and bring him back to campus while you take care of your car.” He paused. “It’s getting late.”

Kelsey blew out a breath. “Okay. Thanks.”

Adrian glanceddown at his phone for the fourth time in the last five minutes. Kelsey was fifteen minutes late. He didn’t think she was the kind of person to constantly run late, and he didn’t think she would simply not show up.

Something must have happened. Adrian hadn’t gotten her phone number the night before. He hadn’t thought about it but would rectify that as soon as he saw her.

He turned to go back up to his new apartment when a red BMW pulled into the lot. Adrian faced the vehicle with his arms crossed over his chest.

Recognizing the vehicle made him clench his jaw.What the hell is Greg doing here?The prick parked his car in the middle of the lot without worrying about any of the lines.

Adrian watched Greg step out of his car with his sunglasses over his eyes and a cocky smirk on his face.

This wasn’t good.

“Nice place you have here.” Greg made a show of tipping his glasses up and looking around. “Well, I guess beggars and the homeless can’t really be all that picky. It’s barely a step up from your car. Barely.”

“What do you want?” Adrian was not going to react. He knew Greg wanted him to.
