Chapter 20

Brooks

I’m back home after celebrating a Cosmos win with my family, which is still weird to say. When I look out the patio door and see the steam rising from the pool, wrestling with the chilled November air, images of Lia rush back. I’m licking my fucking lips thinking of her. I snap a picture of the pool and text it to Lia.

Lia

don’t tempt me

Me

i don’t know what you’re talking about

sure you don’t

good Cosmos win today

did you watch?

yeah, i was with my dad

nice to see them

wish no one would’ve seen Zack’s pregame fit though

haha he does love a fashion moment

the pink and white checkers were horrible

damn. thought about getting you a matching blazer

no thanks

but if you want to shop, I think I owe you

i am missing my favorite bra

all lacy

see through

who is tempting who now

what? I’m just trying to remind you

for the replacement

believe me, I'll never forget what it looked like

so you did like it?

what kind of question is that

yes

hell yes

fuck yes

take your pick

i like the idea of you picking out a replacement

I've never wanted to shop more

the idea of me choosing something for you

fuck. that's hot

are you about to swim or are you teasing me

if I said yes, would you come over?

i'm teaching yoga early tomorrow morning

otherwise i’d already be in the car

feels like you’re the one teasing me

believe me, wish I was

fuck, you don’t know how hot that is

i think i do

but i need to get to sleep, 4:30 am alarm is set

how do i go about scheduling a private yoga session

i’m sure i can fit you in...
