Breakaway (8 page)

“So the natural question is why is she
still around?” Sydney asked. “If she’s an ex, why is she still
attending the games?”

“Dean gave her a season pass,” Brooke
interjected and Naomi made another sharp pass at her, “you’re
getting on me for telling her the truth? What?”

“Don’t be getting into other couples’
business!” Naomi admonished. “We don’t know why she’s really here
any more than Dean does.”

“Really?” Brooke incredulously asked.
“I think it’s pretty obvious why Maple Syrup is still
here.”

“Maple Syrup?” Sydney
asked.

“She’s Canadian.” Cassidy
commented.

“Which is an insult, by the way!”
Madison interjected. “You don’t see me calling you Fish N’
Chips.”

“You should try it,” Brooke
nodded, “I think you would like it,
eh
?”

“So why is she here?” Sydney
asked.

“Because she wants to check out the
competition,” Brooke spoke and Naomi socked the younger woman in
her arm again. “Woman, you hit me one more time and I will drag you
by your weave!”

Sydney stifled a chuckle. Brooke’s
threat sounded so funny with her accent, though she knew the woman
was serious. “Competition? What competition?”

“You!” Brooke commented while the
other WAGs shook their heads. “In case no one else wants to tell
you, I will. You’re the reason why Dean broke up with her. Maple
Syrup doesn’t like you because you stole her man.”
