CHAPTER SIX

Adriana

Jeez, my rambling just won’t stop. I can’t help it. Cole is just ugh, he’s gorgeous, sweet and lord, his voice! The timber alone is everything. Add that to his good looks and I’m a goner.

Adriana, you can not fall for your boss’s brother-in-law . Unless he’s single?

Dani encouraged the google search of Cole and his current girlfriend after a few celebratory drinks three weeks ago. I didn’t get a solid answer from the results.

“So, you’re a fan of the game, but are you a fan of the team or mine?” he questions, pulling me out of my head.

“And if I said both?” Ugh. I hope that didn’t sound as flirty as I think it did.

“Well then, I would say that we need to get you to a game and maybe in one of my jerseys.” He looks at me from the corner of his eyes as we wait for the light to turn green.

Cole smirks from the driver's side and I’m pretty sure it’s because he can see his affect on me. Knowing my cheeks must be red since the temperature in the truck's cab just got warmer.

“Maybe, but I don’t think your girlfriend would like that too much.” I point out, hoping he’ll confirm if they’re together or not. “I know Heather and I are going to opening day. Do you live close to their new place, or are you closer to the stadium?”

“A little complicated at the moment. I actually live next door to the house that Heather and Ty moved into. But, I haven’t fully moved in yet. That will change in about two weeks, though.” He says, confusing me because what’s complicated about that?

My mouth opens to ask him to clarify, but my phone rings. Looking down at the screen to see Heather’s name.

“Hey Heather.” answering her call.

“Hey! Sorry, I couldn’t make it to grab you. This stupid furniture delivery got pushed back, and I had to be here to let them know where everything goes and sign.”

“It’s okay. I totally understand. Cole grabbed me, I mean he got me, shit, he picked me up from the airport and we are en route.” Fumbling over my words.

Heather lets out a laugh and from the corner of my eye, Cole has a slight grin on his face.

“Glad to hear it. That he picked you up, that is. I’ll see you when you get here.” continuing to laugh at me.

“Thanks for that. Bye.” telling her while shaking my head.

Once I get off the phone, it’s silent and the moment to ask him has passed.

“Are you hungry? I know Heather is making dinner, but I’m sure you haven’t eaten yet. We can hit a drive thru.” He breaks the silence.

“That would be great. I’m starving.”

“King’s Burger okay?”

“That works for me.”

We hit the drive thru and we both get burgers, fries and a drink. We eat in the car and just as we finish, we pull into Heather and Tyler’s driveway.

“I’ll grab your bags. You can head on in.” He lets me know.

What a gentleman.

Getting out of his truck to make my way towards the front door, it opens and Heather stands there with a big grin.

As I reach her, she asks, “Did you have a good ride with Cole? Oh, and hello! I’m so glad you are here!”

“It was good. Interesting. I have questions for you later.” Responding to her with a wink.

She walks me into the house and out through the back. While making our way towards the apartment over the garage, she points to the left. “That’s Cole’s house, in case you were wondering.”

While climbing the stairs to what is going to be my new home, I’m pretty sure that Heather has some devious plan up her sleeves.
