I left his hotel room a little after one in the morning, and I crashed until after ten this morning.
My body is deliciously achy from the workout he gave me, and I’m physically exhausted. Mentally, though, and spiritually? I don’t know if I’ve ever felt more in tune with what I want.
And what I want is Asher Nash. Any way I can get him.
Allthe ways I can get him.
“Are you going to move there?” Chloe asks.
I sigh. “I’m not sure. If I do consulting, I was thinking I could split time between Vegas and home. But I’m not sure how realistic that is.”
“Are you quitting your job?” Lauren asks.
I stare at my three best friends as I try to come up with the answer to that. “I don’t know what to do.”
“Start with the cons,” Addy suggests, something we always do when we’re trying to make a decision about anything, big or small.
“Leaving San Diego,” I say. “Leaving you three. Book club.”
“We’ll make book club work, and you won’t be leaving us. It just won’t be as easy to grab drinks on a Friday night,” Chloe says.
“She can never come out on Friday anyway since she’s always got events,” Lauren points out.
“True,” Addy says. “And we can visit her in Vegas and hit up all the hot spots since she’ll be a local, and then maybe she wouldn’t have to work on Fridays so we could spend entire weekends together.”
“Most events involving players during the season take place on Monday or Tuesday nights,” I say. “Those are their days off. I’m actually attending one tonight, which is why I had to chat early.”
“See?” Addy says. “So if you move to Vegas, there actually might be a better chance we could all go out together on a weekend because, in theory, you might not have to work.”
I laugh. “And Addy, whatever happens, I’m not leaving you in the lurch for somewhere to live.”
She waves a hand. “Don’t worry about that. It’s not a factor in your decision.”
“Oh, move in with me!” Chloe says.
Addy’s brows dip. “What?”
“We could carpool to work. It would besofun!”
The two of them have their own side conversation for a beat before Addy says, “Wait, back to cons. What else?”
“We have to hide it,” I say.
“For now,” Lauren says.
“Yeah. Or maybe forever. At least until he’s no longer playing for my dad.” What if that’s true? What if we can’t tell my dad about us until Asher retires? What if we have to keep it a secret for years?
We haven’t talked about his plans for the future at all. This is still way too new. It’s still way too early to even be thinking about that, but the planner in me can’t help but want to rush forward to the future.
“Anything else?” Lauren asks.
I twist my lips and shake my head.
“Not even his…you know, rather odd sense of fashion?” Chloe prompts.
I laugh. “No. I find his fashion rather endearing, if I’m being honest.”
“You know next time we see her, she’ll be wearing flamingoes or tigers or something, right?” Lauren says to the other two.
