“Just thanked me for Linc and I giving him that folder and said that something had Skylar scared shitless.”
Cade looks at me, “Okay, Daria has been acting really weird after last Sunday. Have you guys noticed it?”
I look over at him, “I kinda wonder what really happened between him, Anna and her that day. I don’t completely believe the threatening him with the law thing. But, I’m just leaving it alone for now. Anna’s had too much going on and as long as he leaves her alone, I leave him alone at this point.”
Cade nods, “Yeah, I’m not sure how much of that I believe either. It’s just something tells me Daria is hiding something from me and I’m not sure what it is. She’s never acted like this before.”
Linc leans up, “You don’t think it’s someone else do you?”
Cade shakes his head, “No, it’s something bigger, deeper than a guy or sex. She hasn’t been sleeping much lately and when she does she tosses and turns.”
“Have you asked her?”
He looks at me like I’m retarded, “Yes, she says it’s nothing.”
I look over at him, “I don’t know man, but if Anna happens to slip up and say something I’ll let you know.”
He nods, “Thanks man.”
We ride in silence the rest of the way to the house and I know all of us are wondering what those two girls are hiding.
Chapter 19
Anna
It’s been a few weeks since Russ was hurt. Today is his first game that he’ll be playing in since then. To say I’m nervous is an understatement. I’m so worried he’ll get hit today and it’ll finish his arm off. I’m really hoping today goes good for him because I’ve decided that tonight will be our night. I’ve been on my birth control long enough now that it’s all clear. We’ve had each other so frustrated here lately. He’s so worried about hurting me or that I’m not ready. I’m ready, I’ve been ready just nervous, and if we get to third base one more time without making the run on into home, I may die.
I feel hands slip around my waist from behind and I smell Russ , “Hey Sweetie, I got you a present for today.”
I laugh, “I think I’m supposed to get you a good luck present for today.”
“Yeah well this is special.”
I turn around and he holds out a gift bag. I open it and pull out a shirt. It’s a mini team jersey with his number on the back and above it Russ’s Girl . I laugh, “Okay so you are marking your territory huh?”
He pulls me to him and mumbles against my lips, “Well sort of.”
I smile, “Well thank you for the shirt, now you better get your ass moving or I won’t need to wear the shirt because Coach will bench your ass.”
He chuckles, “Well you have a point, I guess I better get going.”
“You aren’t riding with the guys?”
He shakes his head, “No, they are taking Linc’s car. Daria’s parents are here and are taking them out to eat after the game. Linc’s sisters are here so they want him and Gabby to come back to the hotel with them for a little while. So I’m driving Cade’s car and you girls are riding in Daria’s I guess and you can leave with me after the game.”
I laugh, “Well I guess if I have to I’ll ride home with you.”
He laughs and swats me on the butt on his way out. I blow him a kiss.

The game was awesome, Russ scored three touchdowns.
