Fuck

Fuck. Something is happening.

This weird feeling in my chest just keeps growing. I've only heard of this, never personally experienced it before, and it should scare the shit out of me but it doesn't. Not even a little.

A small grin plays on my lips as I settle a hand over my heart.

"What has you looking like a doofus?" Cody swaggers in with a rope draped over his broad shoulder causing me to jerk slightly.

I breathe out, trying to pull it together— a reaction a certain brunette constantly sets off within me.

Yeah, if Cody thinks I'm telling him the real reason for my 'doofus' appearance, he's out of his mind.

The guy can't walk into town without being greeted by a chick. I swear, it's like he has women on a merry-go-round. Has one picked out every time he's ready for a ride.

"Game was that fun, eh?" He adds and juts out his chin. "Grace couldn't stop grinning." He punches me in the arm. "I'm still mad at you, by the way, for not inviting us."

"It wasn't up to me." I merely say and he harrumphs. "You know Isaiah is a friend of ours too. How could he forget the handsome duo?"

"There weren't any more tickets," I grunt. "Trust me, I asked. However, he did tell me to let him know in advance next time. He's got y'all some sweet seats for next season."

He pumps his fist in the air, "Fuck yes!"

I continued grooming Arrow and assumed Cody was gone until he cleared his throat.

"So what's really got you all excited? Or should I say who's got you whistling tunes?"

I was whistling? Jesus, Trinity, what are you doing to me, woman?

"I wasn't whistling." I scoff, trying to save face, but he nods confidently, "Were too."

"Hadn't noticed." I shrug again and his lips pull up into a wide grin.

"New lover?"

I pull back with surprise at the words, "What? No."

The idea hadn't even crossed my mind in months.

"I know what you look like when you've gone without some. So who is it? Hook up with someone during the trip?"

"What do you care nosy?" I scrub at Arrow's coat more vigorously but not enough to hurt the mammal.

Out of my peripheral, I see him shrug. "Just curious what's got you in such a good mood."

"A man can't be in a good mood without having a woman involved?" I raise a brow and he throws me a bored expression. "Unless you were flying on a fucking unicorn I don't think so." I roll my eyes as he adds, "Dude, you literally look like you won an entire world war and saved all humanity."
