The Safety's Sideline Obsession 소설 & 이야기

He went over to Mickey. "Hey, move away. Let me do it, it seems as though you're planning to take my mom away from me" he muttered. Leah laughed from where she was. She's glad to see he's finally the cheerful Jaime that she knows. She looked around the restaurant worriedly. "Where are you?" She asked, referring to her husband, Sebastian. **** MONTERIO'S INVESTMENT*** Hailey shut down her computer as she was through with the day's work. She stretched her shoulder tiredly and yawned softly. She's suddenly feeling hungry.

Sidney released a controlled breath. “I just have to find the balance between exposure and safety,” Sidney said. “Enough to get my website and blog lofted but not too much for things to go Single White Female.” “I would feel much better if you’d just cut off the stalkers,” Kendra said. “Help me sleep at night.”

I shrugged, moved to his side to proceed with my movement but he held my wrist tightly, pulled me to him that my hands were involuntarily resting on his chest and he slung an arm around my back. "What if someone tries to hurt you or something?" He asked, defining concern, possession and overprotection. "Do you want me to go crazy before you get back? I'll be all alone." "Let her go. I'll stay with you." Mitchell said slowly with a weak smile. He only glanced at her from top to toe then returned to look at me. "I need to see her." I retorted, trying to brush myself off his grip. "You can't keep me in a cage, would you?" I smiled, trying to assure myself that he was going to agree.

“This is Anchorman Jack Dallas reporting live from Channel Five.” “Oh great,” Madison says. “None of the good baseball games come on until later. I guess for now, I have to watch the boring news.” “In urgent news, we have reported another missing report from a citizen in the Avalon area,” the anchorman says. “Big deal, people disappear all the time,” Madison says. But then Madison feels an overwhelming pulse in his chest. An image of a shield shaped stone with a red X in the middle of it flashes in his mind.

She screamed, protesting wildly against Knox hold. Phoebe and Bianca snapped out of their gaze, held me from moving towards Khloe. “Leave me alone!” She shrieked. “Why don’t you leave her, Knox, and watch how I send her to the hospital,” I spat. “It’s okay, Aphrodite. People are videoing this,” Phoebe begged, but I ignored her. “Next time you utter such words, I wouldn’t mind killing you as I’m not afraid to go to jail,” I said, her eyes widened at something at my back. “What is going on here?”

Duane reads them. P1 by six tenths. The gap is not closed. The gap is the gap between a man who has been driving this sport for eight years and everyone else who is also very good at it, which is what six tenths represents when every other car on the grid is driven by someone who is also extraordinarily talented. In the hospitality suite, watching the timing screen, I feel something that I've been carefully not feeling for three months— Safety. Not certainty. Not the naïve kind where you believe nothing bad can happen. The other kind, the earned kind, where you've survived enough bad things to know you can survive them and the fear becomes manageable rather than consuming.

“Watch the backside blitz. Carter, don’t let 52 breathe.” Noah grunted. “He’s mine.” We jogged to the line. The world narrowed. Their safety shaded left. Corners played tight in man. Linebackers cheated up, ready to jump anything short. I scanned. Looked off the safety. Tried to ignore the roar of the crowd, the pounding in my ears, the weight of Homecoming king still figuratively sitting on my head from halftime. Ten yards. That was it. “Blue eighty!” I called. “Blue eighty! Set… hut!”

Owen helped me to find a good place on the sidelines that he thought would be perfect. He assured me that I would not be in the way of any of the players and I should be back far enough from the boundary line. He said if any plays came that way, unless it was just a completely wild throw or dive, I would be safe from any harm. I just knew that being this close to the actual game play, I needed to stay alert, especially if the football or any running players were coming my direction. I didn’t want to take any unnecessary chances since I was holding the very expensive school camera equipment in my hands.

And that’s when the unease creeps in. Safety isn’t supposed to look like this. It’s supposed to be predictable. Controlled. Contained within rules and boundaries I understand. This isn’t any of those things. This is standing on a quiet sidewalk at midnight with the man who complicates every system I’ve ever built for myself—and wanting to stay exactly where I am. “That changes things,” I murmur before I can stop myself. His thumb traces a slow, absent line against my waist. “Only if you want it to.”

Until dad asks a question that makes my face burn with a hot blush. "One last thing, Mr. Lazzare. Can I ensure my daughter's total safety with you? She's a beautiful girl, and young too, but I know how hard it will be to resist. Do I have your word that you will never, for any reason, make a sexual move on her?" My eyes bulge out in shock and embarrassment. Dad doesn't sugarcoat his words, and when I glance at Nick, his face is perfectly composed. But his response blows me away and I almost choke on the orange juice I'm sipping.
