Chapter 1246 Finding My Love:>> 46
- "But nothing. Do you have any idea how hard it's been, going to bed alone every night, after being told by the person who promised to love me forever that I wasn't good enough anymore? How lonely I've been?" I kept my voice low, there were still people around after all, but I could feel ten years of repressed anger and pain seething behind every word. "And you, my mother, everyone made me think it was my fault. And then this incredible woman suddenly says that you were all wrong, that I am beautiful, and that she wants me. Even if I'd never looked at another woman in my life," I gave a bitter laugh, "which I assure you is not the case, it would have been very tempting."
- I took a breath and looked back out to the field, where the team was starting to reemerge from the locker room. "As it is, I've always liked women. And I like that one a lot, so you better get used to her being around." I watched my girlfriend emerge from beneath the bleachers, her long, tight curls pulled back into its usual ponytail. Her arms were crossed under her breasts, her green eyes hard over her sharp, aquiline features.
- As she passed in and amongst her players you could see her intensity infect each young woman. Paige had said it often, she was the type of coach who made you want to run through a wall for her, who made you be better than you thought you could. A lovely tingle built in my core as I watched her. Her eyes found me for just a moment, a bare hint of a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth for the briefest second. It made the heat inside me click up a notch, and I took a long, appreciative look at her firm backside underneath the black slacks she was wearing.
