As soon as Mitch had told me that Skylar had accepted a scholarship to Baylor, I’d committed to play football with them. It had been between Baylor and Texas A&M. There was no way of keeping it from Skylar, not after the school had me doing the whole stupid photo shoot bullshit in the library.

Coach started his normal speech while my mind drifted.

What do I need to do to get her to talk to me? How many times can she ignore my calls or my attempts to talk to her?

I knew she had been getting notes in her locker. I’d seen her throw them out, some without even reading them. I’d love to know who had been putting them there.

The slap on my back snapped me out of my thoughts.

“You ready?”

When I glanced up, Mitch was staring down at me.

“I can’t stop thinking about her.”

He looked around and then back to me. “Don’t give up on her, Wyatt. I hear her crying in her room at night. I just don’t know why she is pushing you away.”

I shook my head. “Dude, the kiss was five seconds, at the most.”

With a frown, he replied, “It was four seconds too long.”

We started to follow the rest of the team out.

“Okay, you tell me how you would have reacted if a girl had asked you if you were interested in a threesome, and then both of them had started to touch your dick and kiss you at the same time. My head was spinning, but that didn’t mean I was into it.”

“Wait. Jenny actually asked you that?”

I let out a frustrated sigh. “Yes, but I know she was only doing it to throw me. I mean, if I told her I’d fuck her in my truck tonight, she’d be all over it, but I don’t think she is into that kind of messed up shit.”

“Damn, that would have thrown me. Did you tell Skylar that?”

My head turned quickly to look at him. “What? Hell no, I didn’t.”

“Might make a difference.”

“That Jenny asked me to be in a threesome before she kissed me? Yeah…I don’t think so.”

The announcer called out our team as the cheerleaders took off in front of us. All I needed to do was get through this last game. We stood on the sidelines as Coach went over a few last-minute things. My eyes scanned the crowd for Skylar. I saw Michelle, but she was sitting with Mitch and Skylar’s parents.

“She isn’t here.”

My head snapped over to look at Jacob. “What?”

“Skylar. She isn’t here.”

“How do you know?”

“I ran into her yesterday at Pizza Mia. I asked if she was coming to watch you play.”

I swallowed hard. I hated the idea that Skylar would talk to Jacob but not me. “What did she say?”

He looked away as he answered, “She said no.” Glancing back at me, he continued to talk, “I asked her if she would come to cheer on the whole team since we were playing for the state championship.”

I wanted to punch the hell out of Jacob, but it really had nothing to do with him and everything to do with the fact that Skylar would talk to some asshole who had dumped her but completely ignore me.

“Let me guess…she said no?” I asked.

He gave me a weak smile and nodded. “She said no.”

Placing my helmet on my head, I turned and looked once more at Skylar before running onto the field.

We spent the next two and a half hours playing our hearts out.

The crowd chanted, “Mustangs,” over and over as we set up for another play.

Standing in the huddle, I called out the play. We needed one more touchdown, and we would clinch the win. We broke, and I walked up to the center. I called out an audible, and for some reason, I glanced up to the bleachers. I swore, the whole damn school had come to Austin to watch the state playoff game.

It didn’t take me long to find her gray eyes.

“Skylar,” I said.

“Wyatt! You’re running out of time!” Mitch yelled out.

She was looking right at me. Smiling, I tucked my hands under the center. The ball was hiked, and I was running back, looking for Mitch. He was exactly where he should be and wide open. I threw the ball, and the second he caught it, I knew. We were going to win this thing. He ran into the end zone, and that was it. The crowd erupted.

I quickly turned to look at her.

Skylar and her mom were hugging while Michelle jumped up and down, screaming.

“You did it!” Mitch called out as he ran smack into me.

Knowing we had just won the state championship game and Skylar was here to see it had me feeling like an emotional wreck.

“We did it!” I called out. “The whole team! We won!”
