Tenacious Sky novel Chapter 13

When Leo came back, he had my bag and uniform from my locker with him. He set them on a nearby chair before turning to me.

"I have practice after this. I'll take you back to the dorms before I go," he said. I shook me head.

"Our deal was to stick to you like glue," I reminded him. He sighed and looked at my ankle before looking away.

"Do what you want then," he gave in. Nurse Jackie came back with an ace wrap. She handed it to me before taking the ice off of my ankle.

"I assume you know how to use this," she said as she motioned to the ace wrap. I blushed as I nodded. Leo didn't catch the hint. I wrapped my ankle before Leo handed me my uniform.

"I'll step out," he said before he pulled the curtain around my area, leaving him on the outside. I stood and changed quickly before stuffing my gym clothes in my bag and pulling the curtain back. Leo was waiting there. He turned his back to me and crouched down.

"Hop on," he said.

"I'll walk," I declined.

"If you walk, it'll take longer for your ankle to heal," he said.

"She'll be fine if she walks," Nurse Jackie said as she leaned against the wall with her arms crossed. Leo paused before he spun to face her.

"You know?" He asked. She shrugged.

"Woman's intuition," she answered. Leo sighed and looked at me in disappointment before he took my bag from me.

"Let's go," he said. I followed him out of the office, limping all the while.

"You're really careless, you know that?" He said in frustration.

"She figured it out by looking at my body make up apparently," I tried to explain. He sighed and turned back to watch me limp to keep up with him.

"Just get on my back. You're slowing me down," he sighed. I finally gave in and put my bag on my back before hopping onto Leo's back.
