Chapter 119

The smile crept onto my lips. I'm fine, I was helping Nellie. I said, not exactly lying to him. She's letting you help her? He sounded a little taken back, obviously not expecting that answer. Well, I offered so she didn't really have a choice. His deep, throaty chuckle echoed through my head. I'm not surprised, you're stubborn. I laughed. You're just a stubborn, you jerk. Sweetheart, no one will ever out do you with stubbornness, not even a jerk like me. The amused tone to his voice had me laughing again. Listen little kitten, I can't get to the house, coach wants us training for the rest of the day. Are you going to be okay or do you need me to come back? My stomach danced. I had a feeling it would take me a while to get used to how adorable he was being lately. No, don't worry about me. I'll be fine with Nellie and I met a girl, Sophia. Just do whatever you've got to do and I'll see you after school.
