Offside with #55 Excerpt
She can fool herself, but I’m not gonna sit here and lie and say I could be as compatible with another woman as I am with her. From the first time we slept together, we just fit. I had high hopes that it might turn into something more, but she’s hell-bent on maintaining her single status. I’ve tried to break down her wall, brick by brick, but she just puts them all back up. The woman is impossible. And now she has the excuse of the change in our professional relationship.
Then again, maybe she’s right. Maybe I shouldn’t be fucking the owner during my first year of coaching. Still, the idea leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
I lay my chopsticks on the napkin next to my plate and slide out of my chair. “Your wish, as always, Jana, is my command. See you at the office.” I wink and walk out of the kitchen.
“Kane, stop being so dramatic,” she says to my back.
But I continue toward the door. The fact that she doesn’t follow me tells me everything I need to know. No matter how hard I try, Jana might never break. I’m wasting my time.
The door shuts behind me, and I climb into my truck and drive away without putting up much of an argument, just like she wants me to.
