ONE WEEK LATER
I am draggingmy ass this morning. I’ve been staying up late all week to talk with Lucy and while it’s been 100 percent worth it, it’s catching up to me. I’m usually one of the first out of my hotel room and on the bus. I hop up the steps and look down the aisle, today it looks like I’m one of the last. I see Reese hold up his hand and I make my way to him. Plopping down in my seat, I pull out my phone. I see a text from my mom, reminding me about dinner again tomorrow. I let out a sigh.
“Rough night?” Rees asks, messing around with his own phone.
“Not rough, just…late,” I say, texting my mom back.
Me
I actually forgot. Can you please *praying hands emoji* cancel with Judy.
Reese looks over at me with interest. “Late?”
Brent pops his head over the seat in front of us. “Why that late night Davis? Did you have a girl in your room?” he asks, wiggling his eyes up and down.
I roll my eyes. “No.”
“You sure? I could have sworn I heard a woman’s moans last night,” he says.
“Pretty sure I would know if I had a moaning woman in my room jackass. It was probably coming from the rookie’s room. He was on the other side of you.”
Brent snaps his fingers and points at me. “He’s always bringing women back to his room.”
I nod but don’t say anything further. I lay my head back against the seat and close my eyes. I can still feel their eyes on me, so I open one and look at them. “Can I help you?”
“You didn’t answer the question,” Reese pushes.
I yawn and scrub a hand over my face. “What question would that be?”
“Why the late night?” Reese and Brent ask in unison.
“Jesus,” I whisper. “I was just on my phone too late.”
“Porn site?” Brent questions.
“Jesus fuck Brent,” I complain. “You being celibate is not worth it.”
“The fuck it’s not! I’m the only one in the lineup who has been consistent with their batting.”
