Thirty Three

Emma’s POV- January 2014
I looked at the veggies Angie was chopping and I glanced up at her.

“How are things going with you and Roman?” I asked.

She shook her head slightly and continued chopping the veggies.

“He told me he didn’t want anything to do with me, he told me that when he flew in from Cali”

I looked at her and she shrugged.

“I don’t need to be in a relationship, I have better things to worry about”

She added oil to the pan and looked at me.

“Like my restaurant and making the World Cup team”

I nodded slowly and she put the veggies to saute.

“What happened?” I asked her.

“James happened”

I frowned and she nodded slowly.

“This is why I don’t date guys younger than me. They’re immature and don’t let you explain anything”

She looked at me.

“I don’t want you meddling”

I shrugged at her.

“Can’t promise that” I said.

She sighed and the front door opened.

“Don’t mention this to Max”

I nodded and the door closed. Max walked into the kitchen and looked at what Angie was cooking.

“Smells great”

Angie smiled and he sat down next to me.

“Dinner is almost ready, a little late but one of the Chef’s has food poisoning”

Max laughed a bit.

“How did that happen?”

She pretended to hit him with a dishrag.

“He took his wife out on a date and yea”

We nodded and she glanced up.

“How was New Years at home?”

Max nodded.

“Gabe went full crazy again”

She frowned and looked at me.

“Did Filip punch him?”

I shook my head and Max smiled.

“Emma did”

Angie’s eyes widened and I nodded.

“He kissed me! It was that or Filip going jealous monster” I told her.

She nodded and smiled.

“It’s cute when Filip gets jealous though. He like lets everyone know he’s jealous with that sour look he gets”

She laughed and I nodded.

“And then he denies he’s jealous” I added making them nod and laugh.

“Yes he does”

She finished dinner and handed us a plate. We sat down and discussed our classes that we had just started.

“This year started off well”

I nodded slowly and looked at Angie who smiled.

“Let’s hope Liv and I make the World Cup team”

Max laughed and put the wine bottle down.

“Really?”

She nodded and smiled.

“Yea, I decided that I’m going to give it another try”

He smiled and nodded.

“Nice, fuck yea we’re going to Canada this summer!”

We proceeded to laugh as Max grinned and said how happy he was for her. I took a sip of my wine as I made a mental note to talk with Roman.
