There's a huge grin on everyone's face as Dante and I finally enter the locker room which is buzzing with energy. Sawyer flanks us immediately, equally excited about our win.

"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful game tonight boys." Sawyer grins.

Riley comes into the locker room and gives us a little speech-not before warning us about not letting this win get to our heads and f*ck about (in other words don't party too hard tonight and use our day off tomorrow well). We still have a few more fights to win. Especially since we thought this would be an easy game.

After that, I head into the shower.

"Mind hitching a ride with Bradley and Sawyer?" I ask Dante as I step out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my waist "I've got to bring Lorraine with me."

"Lorraine's coming?" Ryan's frenzied voice calls from the showers at the other side of the locker room.

"Yes," I reply "what's it to you?"

"Nothing, just asking."

I shoot Dante a look. "Elle's coming too." I watch him closely but he gives nothing away-just a slight nod of his head before looking at me and muttering an ok.

I know something's up with Dante. I just can't tell what it is yet. He has been very secretive lately. Coming home at odd hours looking worn out as fuck. He's seeing someone and he's hiding it. I'm just not sure why-or who. I know he sort of has a thing for Elle but he's never spoken about going through with it so I can't say that it's her for sure. Whatever it is can't be serious. The guy is a freaking love advocate. If he's in a serious relationship with anyone, hiding it would be the last thing he'd do.

"Ok?" Sawyer appears, fully dressed. He's got a teasing smile on his face. "Are you finally gonna ask her out or what, you pussy."

"Shut up." Dante throws his lotion at Sawyer who dodges it smoothly letting the tub hit a locker. The content spills on the floor and Sawyer laughs while Dante glares jokingly "f*cking clean that sh*t up."

Sawyer ignores him and turns to me with the same f*cking smile. I expect a remark about Lorraine but he thinks better of whatever he's about to say with a shake of his head "Hurry the f*ck up ladies. The party waits for no one."

We all split off to our different rides after exiting the pavilion. There are still a few people hanging around the parking lot but I camouflage myself perfectly with my Yankees cap. I readjust my gym bag on my shoulder as I approach my BMW.
