She learned that sometimes the only person you can count on is youself, and even then, you can fail.

Excerpt:
I moved to stand
where she’d be able to see me, not really caring if I was blocking the view for
some other person waiting. I widened my stance and with my arms crossed over my
chest, I kept my eyes trained as far back as I could see. My gaze shifted over
the different travelers coming in; the only person I wanted to see was a
brunette with crazy colored eyes.
And then I saw
her.
The feeling that
overtook me was like a drowning man getting his first breath of air. A starving
man getting a fucking full-course meal.
She didn’t see me
yet, but she would in time. There were maybe eighty people between us and she
was nearing.
Her hair was
braided over her shoulder, wisps of hair falling out and framing her face. She
was wearing leggings and those damned boots of hers, but I was surprised to see
her shirt was the girly type, long with cuts up the sides, nearly to her waist,
and lacy sleeves that played peek-a-boo with the colors adorning her arm. She
didn’t carry a bag, just her phone in one hand.
I licked my
bottom lip before biting it gently, trying to stop the smile from spreading on
my face. Didn’t want to look like a complete moron.
Forty
feet.
Her gaze was down
at the floor, no doubt watching where she was walking. It didn’t surprise me
she was careful like that.
Thirty
feet.
Look up,
Asher…Look up.
Twenty
feet.
Her face lifted
and, like a magnet, her eyes locked on mine instantly.
And the smile on
her face?
God damn.
There was no
sense stopping my full-ass smile now, not with the one she just shot my way.
If you would have
told me, four months ago, I would be the most celibate man in the history of
earth, all for the glimpses of smiles from that girl there with more secrets
behind her eyes than I could ever hope to uncover, I probably would have
laughed in your face.
Four months ago,
I was gearing up for my rookie season in South Carolina.
Four months ago,
I was a kid with a big name, going to a team that had nothing to do with said
big name.
Four months ago,
it was rumored I would be the new hot shot in town. Nico certainly didn’t fail
to show me the gossip sites, seemingly run by a bunch of puck bunnies.
But four months ago,
I walked into Starbucks for a goodbye coffee with my sister, and met the girl
with secrets.
And four months
ago, I became addicted without so much as a taste.
Now that I’ve had
that taste? Shit, I couldn’t wait for more.
