I pulled out a fresh pair of jeans and a black button-down shirt from my locker and hung them on the door.
“That’s a pretty nice outfit just to go home in, Hudson. You got a date?” Dax asked.
This was why I wished they’d left. I knew they were going to bust my balls about tonight. I’d kept pretty quiet about things with Bexley. Of course the guys knew I’d taken her on more than one date, but they didn’t know about the lunches, or about the kiss.
“The lack of response tells me you two hit the nail on the head.” Liam chuckled.
I glanced over my shoulder and glared at him.
“If the four of you must know, yes, Bexley and I are heading for dinner tonight.”
The room was quiet, and then Joe spoke.
“Wait, isn’t this, what, your third date?” Joe questioned, locking his locker and slipping into his jacket.
“Why, I believe you are right there, Joe. It would be their third date,” Liam added.
“Wow, our boy is growing up.” Tate chuckled. “Third date, that is a big step.”
Frowning, I turned around and looked at the four of them. The only one who hadn’t added anything was Dax.
“Don’t you have anything to say about it?” I questioned, looking at him.
Dax shook his head, as the room quieted. I’d just turned back to my locker when I heard him speak. “Only that the third date normally means you are going to get laid.”
I whipped back around in time to catch him with a huge grin on his face.
My eyes were glued on Dax, until one of them shoved a condom in my face. I reached out and took the condom from whoever held onto it and turned to see Tate with laughter in his eyes.
“What the fuck, bro?”
“Hey…one can’t be too safe, and honestly, you should be well protected while you serve. Think of it as a bulletproof vest for the lil guy.”
The rest of them burst out into laughter while I stood there. “You are all sick. You know that?”
“We know.” They all laughed and took off out of the changing room to leave me in peace.
I pulled into the parking lot of her apartment building and parked my car in the visitors’ section and made my way up to her place. Traffic had been a nightmare, and thanks to the guys giving me a hard time, I was later than I wanted to be. I knocked on her door and stood back, waiting for her to answer.
After a few minutes, I knocked again, this time a little harder, and finally heard movement on the other side of the door. When the door opened, Bexley stood in front of me looking a little pale and ringing her hands together.
“Hey.” I smiled. “You okay?”
Only she didn’t smile back. She didn’t even answer me. She just moved to the side and signalled for me to come in. Once inside, I slipped my shoes off and looked at her.
“Everything okay?” I questioned again. “I’m sorry I’m a little late.”
It wasn’t like Bexley to be upset at the fact someone was late, so I didn’t know why I even apologized. I’d known her long enough to know she wasn’t that uptight.
“It’s, um…it’s been a long day,” she said, breathing a little harder than normal. She made her way to the living room and sat down on the couch.
I walked in and looked at her. Something was wrong. She seemed off.
“What’s going on?” I questioned, taking a seat in the chair across from her. I didn’t want to crowd her. She looked like she was on the edge of a breakdown, and I wanted her to talk to me.
“Sorry, this is something I don’t let on, but I’m having a bit of an anxiety attack here. I actually wasn’t even going to open the door,” she said, placing her hand on her chest and closing her eyes.
“Would you like some water?” I asked.
