Page 29 of Cheer
Blake shook his head, “I’m afraid not. Especially since I already texted Shelley.”
Soren shook his head and looked down at Eva, “Well, might as well get this over with. Eva, this is Blake Paxton. He is the safety on the team and my sister’s boyfriend.”
Blake grinned and held out his hand which Eva took. “Nice to meet you.”
Eva smiled, “You too. I am one of the cheerleaders.”
Blake laughed, “I noticed. Well, welcome to the Alphas family.”
She smiled again and Blake winked, “Gotta get back to practice.”
Eva waved and then smiled up at him, “So, that’s Blake. I have heard good things. He is a good guy.”
Soren shook his head, “Yes he is.”
He held her hand as they walked toward the field. He checked his watch and sighed when he saw that their time was up.
He kissed her one last time with his hand cupped to her face and his fingers curled softly around her neck.
“Do you want to come to my house after practice? I can make us dinner. I think Shelley and Blake will be there.”
She nodded and one of the girls came out, “Hey, Jenny is asking where you are. Oooh. Who is this?”
Eva looked over at the girl and then back at him, “This is Soren. He is my boyfriend?”
The girl raised her eyebrow, “That sounds more like a question. So, since he isn’t really your boyfriend, maybe I can take a crack at it?”
Soren took a step back and Eva stepped in front of him. “Don’t even think about it. He is mine. It doesn’t matter if we have labels or not.”
The girl took a step back, “Geez. No need to go all crazy. Just checking. Men like him have needs. I just wanted to let him know I’m more than happy to fulfill all of those needs.”
Eva shook her head, “Wow. Just wow. I am sorry that you are so desperate for a guy you think that you can act like that. With a guy that is clearly already taken. Nope. That’s just not okay.”
Soren wrapped his arms around her, “Babe, I’m only yours and you know it. My fierce girl. No one like her can take me from you.”
Eva relaxed against him and another woman came out of the door, this one a little older with red hair.
“Eva? You gonna come join us?” She looked around and saw Eva in his arms, “Oh. That’s why. I get it. But we still have to practice. Is this going to be an issue?”
Eva shook his head against his chest, “I was just coming in to practice, but I had to settle something first.”
The woman nodded, “Alright, we have to get to it though. Abby, get your ass back in here. And stop ogling Eva’s boyfriend. He doesn’t seem to fall for your tricks. So why don’t you put your bitch back in her cage and let’s go to work?”
The girl, Abby, nodded and walked away. He felt Eva relax in his arms and Jenny winked at them, “Nice job girl. He is hot. Come on. The sooner we nail this new song, the sooner you can be right back in his arms. Lucky freaking girl. April told me you met a sexy guy, but I didn’t want to believe her.”
Eva looked up at him and he smiled, “She sure did. Thanks for having her back.”
Jenny nodded and walked away and he leaned down and kissed Eva, “Don’t worry about women like Abby. They are just lonely in their life and haven’t learned any differently. I have the woman I want. And that’s it.”
She hugged him tightly and walked away from him, and he watched her shut the door.
He sighed and walked toward the locker room, which opened.
The new player, Brett Hathaway walked out.
He looked around and saw him standing there, and walked over.
He was tall, about the same height as Soren himself, and had dark brown hair and brown eyes.
