His Secret Obsession
Chapter 70

(Asher)

Well, f**k..I didn't think it was possible to have fallen for this girl any more than I already had. But seeing how her eyes sparkled and filled with pure f*****g shock and awe the moment I mentioned wanting to marry her..it made my heart practically burst. My day started out pretty shitty..I can't lie. I had one of the worst practices because of Ethan and the ridiculous shit he caused. I don't want to tell Em about it because it will just make her worried even more than she already is.

We had just gotten to practice and Carson and I were joking around with a few other guys in the locker room when Ethan walked in. Everyone pretty much despises the guy at this point..even Craig refused to look at him. I don't know how coach expects us to play together when I want to punch Ethan in the face every time I see him.

"So you leave in a few days huh?" Seth asked before elbowing me in the side as he wiggled his eyebrows at me.

"Yep, and I can't fucking wait." I responded while sitting on the bench and digging through my duffle bag.

I quickly stumbled upon a note Em left me, causing a huge smile to spread across my face. She has been sneaking notes in my bag the night before and they have made every single morning so much better. I quickly unfolded the small pink piece of paper as I read the words she scribbled out for me.

"Miss you already my handsome boyfriend. Can't wait to show you how much tonight."

And right below it was a kiss mark with lipstick. I thought her lips looked a little darker last night. Now I know why..That sneaky little kitten.

Suddenly I heard a scoff from right behind me, causing me to glance up as I saw Ethan peeking over my shoulder.

"You really have my girl brainwashed don't you." He said lowly with a smirk, his voice only loud enough for me to hear.

I can't even tell you how quickly I shot up and pinned him against the damn lockers, causing everyone to go silent and watch us with shock. "Don't you dare fucking say a word about my girlfriend." I seethed, my forearm pressing against his neck as Carson was on me in seconds.

"Asher, it's not worth it." He said hastily, his hand resting on my shoulder as my breathing turned heavy. Shit..I didn't want to react like this..he has been goading me all damn week and I just ignored him.. but the moment he said "my girl" I couldn't help but f*****g

snap.

"Yeah Asher, what's the deal? It's almost like you are threatened or something." Ethan added arrogantly, his smile turning wicked as I clenched my teeth before pushing myself off of him.

"Shut the fuck up you psycho, I can't wait until you are caught and put behind bars where you belong." Carson yelled, his own anger now boiling over as Craig, Seth, and Dean stepped between us and Ethan.

"What the hell is going on here?" Coach Phillips shouted before storming out if his office.

"Just having fun Coach, that's all." Ethan smiled before pushing off of the locker and meeting my gaze once more. His eyes were dark and menacing..making a chill creep down my back as the way he looked at me said so much more than what he told the coach. Right then and there I had a sinking suspicion that Ethan had something planned..and I kid you not..seconds later they were confirmed as I watched Ethan reach into his shorts pocket and lift a pair of keys into his palm discreetly..my f*****g keys!! I know that shit anywhere because it has a Keychain with Emery's damn name on it.

I lunged forward, my hand reaching out and gripping his shoulder as I slammed him to the ground. Everyone in the locker room began to shout as I slammed my fist down, punching Ethan in the jaw.

"You mother fucker!!" I shouted, the audacity of this dude to take my apartment keys..has he been in our apartment?! Has he gone through Em's stuff?!

"What the hell Asher!" Carson shouted, trying to pull me off as I landed another punch on a laughing Ethan's face.

It took four guys to pull me off of him as the coach was going ballistic..

"McNeal!! Explain yourself right fucking now!" He spat, gripping my shirt as he gripped me in one hand and Ethan in the other.

"He has my apartment keys! That stalker has probably been in my damn house..where my fucking girl lives!" I shouted, ready to pounce on Ethan again as the coach's eyes widened..the realization of how damn serious this is hitting him as he turned towards Ethan. "Empty your pockets now." He demanded, looking at a smirking Ethan. How could he be smiling right now? His lip was bleeding and his eyes already turning black as his brown orbs looked fucking feral.

"Sure thing coach." he said cooly before reaching into his pockets and pulling out the keys. There they were..my house keys with Emery's name right on the rectangular silver keychain she had given me.

"You asshole!!" Carson was fuming, Seth, Dean, and Craig had to hold him back as everyone else stared at Ethan with shock.

"I want you out of here. You have ten damn minutes to pack up your shit.. you're kicked off the team." Coach Phillips said firmly, making Ethan's smile falter as he ripped the Coach's hand off of his shirt angrily.

"You don't know what kind of hell you just brought yourselves...and Asher..Tell Emery I will he seeing her soon." He said while glaring at me..That's when the most amazing thing happened..Coach Phillips punched Ethan square in the face, making him stumble back as Ethan groaned in pain..

"You better leave that girl alone..or I can guarantee you won't live to regret it." Coach Phillips said while crouching down causing all of us to stare at him with amazement...Holy shit..Coach is f*****g amazing!

"Fuck you! Fuck all of you!" Ethan shouted once more, his pride wounded as he practically staggered out of the locker room. Once he was gone, the locker filled with silence as we all stared at the coach in disbelief.

"Coach..what about his uncle on the board?" Seth asked..the thought on everyone's minds...what did that mean for the team?

"Well, I guess he will just have to deal with it..or there won't be a team to threaten." He said cooly, glancing around the room as his eyes locked on me.

"I don't know about you..but I refuse to coach a team with him on it." Coach Phillips stated, and I couldn't agree more. I refused to be on a team with him on it...

"Yes, Coach!" The guys began to shout, everyone agreeing with him..all of us uniting together as we decided if they make us play with Ethan..we refuse to play at all.

"I'm sorry I ever put our team in that position..I won't make the mistake again." Coach Phillips said, slapping me on the back as he looked towards the rest of the guys.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get to work shall we?" And with that we all ran to the gym, beginning our warm-ups..and that's how my damn morning went.

As soon as I got back to the locker room I called the apartments, requesting for our locks to be changed..I don't care what Em says..I'm ready to move out of that place and live somewhere with better security.. I'm done taking this Ethan shit with a grain of salt..it's time we take control because Emery's safety depends on it. He will never have my girl.

So that was pretty much how my morning went..and then I decided to go see my kitten for lunch..only to replace that dick Jacob Davison talking to her. I knew exactly who he was and the "relationship" they had before. They were best friends or some shit..yeah right..that's not how you look at a friend.. I'm not f*****g blind. So yeah, I almost lost it then too.

I looked over at Emery, my girl was taking the hugest bite of pizza as she stuffed her cheeks full. I couldn't help but laugh as I leaned forward placing a kiss on her lips.

"I love you Emery..my future wifey." I said with a smirk, making her almost choke as her eyes widened in shock. She quickly swallowed her bite and took a long sip of water.

"I..I love you too." She stuttered, her cheeks turning pink as I couldn't help but beam..little did she know..I already bought a ring..now I just have to wait. But I'm my mind..she is already mine for eternity.
