You got us kicked out of the hockey game.” I’m still wearing his stupid jersey. I swim in the darn thing. I bought a jersey two sizes too big because they were out of my size and I thought that at least wearing it over my clothes it would look okay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNews flash, it looks ridiculous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I’m sure you did that yourselves.” His gaze moves over my clothes.

I’m not sure where I’m heading, but I’m pissed that he’s to blame for getting us kicked out. We paid for those seats, a pretty penny, and he’s pretending he had nothing to do with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“What’s that?” he grinds between clenched teeth. He puts the bucket of beers down and turns around, closing the distance between us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re just a few feet from his reserved table, and I’m fairly confident most of his teammates are eavesdropping on our conversation, but I don’t care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey can listen in all they want and hear what a jerk he is!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“You heard me. I called you an jerk.” I stare up at him. He’s well over six-feet and I’m five-one. I should be intimidated by his size, but I’m not. It helps that we’re in a public place, and I’m aware that he’s a public figure. He can’t so much as touch me without destroying his reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe leans down, his face in mine. “Do you want to say that again?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI laugh up at him. “Sure. I called you an JERK!” I shout. “In case you can’t hear me up there.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe grabs my arm, dragging me away from his buddies. They’re already talking smack, mostly about him getting manhandled, and now he’s doing the manhandling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Get off me!” I yank my arm free and elbow him in the ribs in the process. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe doesn’t even flinch, though I imagine it had to hurt a little. He releases his grip, letting me free as he keeps me in the back hallway near the bathroom, away from his friends. Rowan has an eye on me from the barstool, and I nod, silently letting her know I’m fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I’m the jerk” he asks, his face once again in mine, his neck leaning down to reach me. He’s close enough to kiss me, but I’d never do that with him. His breath smells like mint. His shampoo almond and oranges as he’s clearly showered since playing the sport. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe tugs on my jersey, the length down to my knees, embarrassingly big, and I bite down on my lip, humiliated that I’m wearing his jersey. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Yes,” I say, my voice softer, mellower. I’m still fuming, but not nearly as much as before. Somehow, he’s disarmed me, and I’m not sure how and when it happened. He’s definitely inside my personal space, a little too close, close enough the smell of him lingers in my nose. I could kiss him if I lean in just a fraction of an inch, but I’d never do that with him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMyles nods slowly, gestures with his finger for me to turn around and walk away. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Why?” I grumble up at him, this time the action a bit more forced. The anger is dissipating, but I refuse to let him see that side of me. He doesn’t get to see it; he’s the reason we were kicked out of the arena.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Just do it, Pint Size.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI scoff at his nickname for me. “I’m not pint size.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMyles quirks a faint smile down at me. “Yeah, you are.
