You win

Two athletes, one bet, and the most significant loss of all-two words.

Meet her: Sofia Delezar, captain of UFN's soccer team. Sarcastic, hard-headed, and tired of the lack of media and respect the female athletes at UFN are receiving.

Enter him: Stephan Westerman, star player of UFN's football team, careless, big flirt, and so happens to be UFN's golden boy with all the attention in the world. However, struggles to maintain a picture-perfect reputation.

The agreement: In the span of four months, Stephan takes on the task of giving Sofia's soccer team the recognition they deserve. In return, Sofia "dates" Stephan in order to shake off his playboy reputation and mend his relationship with his parents.

"Don't go falling in love with me, Delezar," his words lace with sarcasm.

"Yeah, 'cause you're such a catch?" My brow cocks upward.

"Wanna bet?" he shrugs, a taunting glint in his brown eyes.

"An easy win," I retort, crossing my arms over my chest.

"A competition," he declares, leaning back in his chair, his smug expression riling me up.

"If, over these four months, someone-"

"You," I interject.

"Right... If it so happens that one of us, specifically you, catches feelings during our little 'relationship,' you lose," he explains, as though it's the simplest concept in the world.

"And what does the winner get?"

"You get to break the other person's heart," he says matter-of-factly.

"Plus..."

"You win."
