His Little Deception

13.Wyatt Ford

CHAPTER13|WYATT FORD

I will lock myself in a room for days if that meant being away from Harper and her family. Not just them. My family too

I'm sick of them being on my back everyday. This job isn't for me but if I have to do this for the sake of Avery's life being spared I will

Even if that means I have to marry another woman. If she ever finds out about Harper she'll never forgive me. I can't have that

Between this business and hockey I've been extremely busy. And I haven't been able to sleep as much as I used to. Soon I will though

"So you never quite told me if you enjoyed the game or not. But I'm sure your face gave it away." Jaxon grins by my side as I put away my hockey gear

The game with Harper Bridges and Jaxon Adler. The arranged wife and the serial killer best friend. Not a great combo if I'm being truthful. But it wasn't a bad night

I scoff. "It was okay. And I was only making those faces because of the play. It was totally rigged."

I was lying and he knew it. The girl had me perplexed

Jaxon chuckles. "Just admit it Wyatt she amazes you. I've never seen your eyes so wide in my life when looking at Avery. Not saying Harper is better. I'm just telling you what's real."

Harper better than Avery?. I don't know. My Scarlet?. In competition with someone I barely know. That can't be the case. Harper and I hate each other. And it's a good thing

"Don't compare them. Avery is fine just the way she is. Harper has no chance."

Shutting my locker I walk past him and make my way to the front of the school. The boys all stood on the sidewalk either talking to each other or goofing around

They usually would try to scare the last person who walks out but I guess today isn't the day for that. Especially after we just lost a game

"Coach is not happy with us. He's gonna have us running so many drills next practice and before we know it our skates will be nothing but a slither of metal. We ate shit today." Hale's voice is loud but so serious

We're all in deep shit. Coach is gonna skin us alive when we go back to practice and I feel like it was all because of me. I've been slacking lately

Getting up from off of the bench Noah comes to our side looking as exhausted as we do but way worse. "You good Sutton? You look like you just got ran over by a bus."

He didn't respond all he did was shake his head and stare at the ground. Okay so maybe we don't talk about how we're feeling much with each other because we're men and find it weird. So pulling out his phone Jaxon let's the phone ring for a minute or two until someone picks up

I'm sure it's Quinn. "Hello?." her voice comes through the other end of the phone and I'm sure I saw Noah's eyes lighten a little bit

"My love someone wants to speak to you. I'm unsure why he couldn't call on his own but us guys think he needs someone to talk to." he stretches his arm out handing Noah the phone

The boy didn't even hesitate to grab that phone out of his hand. Looking at Jaxon I quirk my eyebrow up and he just shrugs

Sometimes I wonder if Quinn is everyone's go to for advice. I know i've went to her for some from time to time but it was always about Avery. She knows everything about my own girlfriend. And it pains me

...

We're all relaxing in the pool with Thomas by our side since Valencia had to study for a test. Apparently it's the hardest test she's ever had to take
