“Touchdown.” Alice screamed and I saw her throwing the football down on the ground.

“She did it.” Liv screamed. “She did it!”

“Yeah.” I said softly, happy for her, but jealous when I saw Scott dropping down on the ground next to Alice. I turned to Lacey to make a face, but she wasn’t paying attention to me. Instead she seemed to be gazing at someone across the field. “Lacey?” I said softly as Liv went running off.

“Uh yeah?” She turned to look at me, her face red.

“What’s going on?”

“Nothing?” She mumbled and shrugged. “Why?”

“Who were you looking at?” I asked her and then looked in the direction she’d been looking in. My jaw dropped as I saw Henry approaching us. Was Lacey attracted to Henry?

“Hello girls, how’s it going?” Henry ran up to us and gave us a lazy smile.

“We’re women, not girls.” Lacey said and I looked at her in surprise. Since when did Lacey have an attitude about being called a girl.

“Well, hello women, how’s it going?” Henry said, his green eyes dancing as he stared at Lacey.

“Good, you?” She said nonchalantly and looked away from him.

“Good.” He nodded and then he looked at me. “So you’re Elizabeth?”

“Yeah.” I nodded. “I’m here with Aiden.”

“You’re the girl he’s using to make Alice jealous?”

“Yeah, how did you know?”

“Xander’s my brother and Xander’s helping him.” Henry shook his head. “I can’t believe that grown men would be just as immature as the women.”

“Why because women are immature and men aren’t?” Lacey said and looked up at him. I wanted to grab her shoulders and pull her back and tell her to calm down. I wasn’t sure why Lacey was acting so antsy, but that sure wasn’t the way to get a guy.

“Maybe.” He grinned at Lacey and then my jaw dropped as he leaned forward and tapped her cheek with his finger. “But that’s for me to know and you to find out.” He smiled at her and I watched as his lips curled up in an almost seductive manner and then he stepped back. “I’ll see you two women later.” He said and before either one of us could react he was running away.

“Oh my God, what was that?” I looked at Lacey, my eyes shocked.

“I have no idea.” Lacey gazed at me, her brown eyes stunned as she stared at me, her face a bright red. I watched her touching her cheek in the spot that Henry had touched. “I can’t believe he touched me.”

“He’s cute, huh?” I asked her with a small smile. I’d never seen Lacey like this before.

“Yeah, he’s okay.” She said causally, but I saw her eyes following him down the field.

“Maybe you can talk to him later.” I said lightly.

“Why?” She looked at me, her face still looking stunned.

“No reason.” I laughed. “No reason at all.”

“Where are you going?” She asked me softly as I started walking.

“Time to work.” I grinned and showed her my wrists.

“What are those marks?” She frowned.

“Handcuff marks.” I giggled. “I had them on all this morning. Aiden wants me to go over to Alice and flash them in her face a little bit.”

“What?” Lacey rolled her eyes. “It seems to me that he’s worse than her.”

“He is going a bit over the top,” I laughed. “But you know how it is in love and war. Anything is game.”

“I sure hope it works out for them.”

“Me too.” I said and then started running. “Wish me luck.” I said as I ran towards Alice, Aiden and Scott. My heart was beating fast as I ran towards them, but not because of Alice and Aiden. I was excited to see Scott. I was going to make sure to be light and smile. I wanted Scott to see that every interaction with me wasn’t drama.

“Are you okay, Alice?” I frowned as I ran up to Aiden’s love. She was on the ground and her face was twisted in pain.

“Yes, thanks.” She nodded, with a tight smile.

“Good.” I grinned at her. “Excellent touchdown, by the way. Best move of the day! You sure showed the guys what’s what.”

“I try.” She grinned back at me and for a few seconds we were just two friends enjoying a moment. I was really happy that Aiden had chosen such a beautiful, but also kind and funny girl. It gave me faith that sometimes men did get it right.

“Hey, hey, hey, what about my touchdown?” Scott ran up next to me and my heart stopped for a second as I looked at his grinning face. “I think that my catch was pretty impressive.”

“Impressive to whom?” I teased him and shook my head and I could feel the electricity surging between us.

“Everyone on the field.” He laughed and looked around. I felt his hand lightly touch mine and I gazed up into his eyes wishing I could pull him down into me.

“Hmm, if you say so.” I flipped my hair back and his eyes fell to my breasts.

“I do say so.” He moved closer to me and I could feel his chest pressing lightly against me. “Didn’t you see me?” His voice sounded husky.

“I saw you, and I saw Alice too.” My breath caught. “And Alice definitely had the moves of the day.” Scott smiled down at me and licked his lips quickly. I felt his hand touching my hip and my breath caught wondering what he was going to do next.
