The Match

Page 40

by Sam Whitelock

Wendy is already enjoying herself down in Brazil, so we might make our way there—or somewhere else tropical.

“Met any hot men?” I ask her, knowing Mira is almost as much of a flirt as I am.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he had some manly action down in Texas. Maybe not with anyone on the team, as thatcould get messy, but maybe with a handsome cowboy or bull rider.

“The whole team is a beautiful bunch of men, Lily.” She sighs, making me laugh.

Sounds about right.

“What about you? Any progress with the infamous Sebastian?”

I might have told Mira about my crush on Sebastian. That was before I knew I was going to travel here and have him part of my project.

“Well, yes and no. There are sparks between us, but I can tell he’s hesitant—probably afraid of Luke,” I tell her.

“He’ll break in no time. Just bring out those sexy outfits of yours, and he’ll be down to his knees in no time,” she chuckles.

Mira knows I like a good outfit. One that combines sophisticated and sexy. The weather in London is the perfect fit for my wardrobe.

I felt his stare this morning when he saw my leather skirt, stockings, and boots. I might have had my back to him, but I know when I’m being watched. Before his shutdown in the church, I caught him looking several times.

“Yeah, hopefully.”

The next day, Sebastian goes to the stadium early in the morning, as they have a full day of press, practice, and meetings.

Therefore, I’m all alone when I eat breakfast, so I decide to keep it simple with some cereal and fruit.

It’s more fun cooking for two.

I feel pathetic when I actually miss Sebastian.

I can manage breakfast by myself. I’ve been having breakfast alone ever since I moved out.

I just saw him like ten hours ago.

When Luke calls, I smile, putting my phone in front of me as I answer his FaceTime call.

At least I can pretend to be having breakfast with him.

“There is my favourite sister,” he says.

“I’m your only sister.”

“Exactly.”

I roll my eyes at him, the smartass. Jessica also sits down beside him, making me even more delighted.

“Hi Jessica!” I beam, and now Luke is the one rolling his eyes, muttering about his girlfriend and sister being closer to each other than him.

Jessica gives him a sloppy kiss on the cheek.

“Ah, don’t be such a baby. We love you as well.”

I exhale.

They make such a beautiful couple.
