Chapter 197

Becketts

Today was worse than yesterday, and I was more wasted than an alcoholic in a pub

The pain in my shoulder got worse, and the doctors said my chances of playing in October are slimmer than none

I think my body had already accepted my fate. It was ready to rest in the remaining months of the season, but my mind was still clinging to the hope that we would get through this.

My TOS comes and goes, but just before the wedding, the pain became harder to hide.

Doc saw it, Jace saw it, and they urged me to see the doctor before the whole team figured out something was wrong with

1. me.

Through the season, some days it’s a dull ache, other days it’s sharp enough to make me catch my breath and wince I think ! had just been an expert at hiding it, but now my name is already on the front line of the injury report because of the last game. And for the first time since I played in the major league, I can feel October’s slipping away from me.

My wife doesn’t know anything about this. She’s got a lot on her plate already, and I don’t want her to worry about me I am her husband, and I should be the one taking care of her, not the other way around.

All Andi knows is that I’m with the team, running drills and excelling at what I do. But the truth is, I missed practice since we came back and spent my days in the doctor’s office, trying to find answers on what the hell was happening to me.

I was exhausted, and even my doctor saw that. It wasn’t just my shoulder–it was my mind and my will to fight the pain.

At times like this, I just wanted to see Andi. That’s why I brought up moving in together, even though I wanted to protect her by keeping our marriage lowkey. But it didn’t mean I didn’t want to come home to her after a gruelling day. I kept trying to show her I was fine, but I knew my luck was thinning.

I wanted to see her. Texting her to come over crossed my mind, so I don’t have to sit in the estate alone. But I do none of that. I just kept driving. She’s probably just as exhausted as I, if not more. She went to Uni and Sea, Salt and Bread today. trying to change her life for me because of my family.

The moment I opened the main door, I immediately knew something was off.

The kitchen had lights on, and I smelled food–real food, not something from takeout or cans and packs. For a second. ! thought my mind was playing tricks on me.

The kitchen hadn’t been used since Andi left the estate. I’m pretty sure Basil and the dogs wouldn’t touch anything inside the house if I weren’t here.

I set my bag down, missing my wife so bad. I should have headed straight to their house. She’s my wife now, Julie wouldn ! mind if I stayed over, right?

I tossed my shoes haphazardly on my way to the kitchen and opened the fridge to grab a glass of water I turned around, eyes narrowing at the food set on the island. A clear lid covers two plates of food. One was a pasta dish, and the other was

baked salmon.

Then I heard it, soft footsteps behind me. I turn, and there she is–My wife.

A smile broke from my lips. My wife was here, wearing my jersey. I won’t admit it out loud, but she wears it better than I do

It brush course above her knees and she’s got that hesitant smale as she nibbles her lower lip

Thope you don’t mind she says voice soft, almost shy

at a moment I was tongue–tied. I forgot the pain in my shoulder and how taxing the day had been All 1 inding in my kitchen in my shirt. I immediately ran to pull her into my arms, breathing in the scent of my shampoo in

She landed with a soft thud against my body. And when I felt her arms around my waist. I sighed in relief

She was really here

she threw her arms around my neck, clinging to me like a koala. I cupped a healthy amount of her ass, pulling her up so she ould wrap her legs around my waist.

Andi sighed between kisses, as if she was also feeling the relief spiralling down my body.

How can someone have this much effect on another person? How can this woman ease all the tension in my body?

You’re here,” I groaned as I walked towards the nearest surface, setting her down there so I could take a good look at her.

Yeah, I hope you don’t mind,” she repeated, and it immediately set confusion on my forehead.

Mind? I don’t fucking mind. I want you here.”
