Sadly, she knew that Marcus had a point. She did put too much emphasis on what Oliver thought. He'd broken her heart. She was recovering better than she thought she should be but she was pretty sure that was because of the enormous amounts of change that had taken place. Sighing, Katie rubbed her forehead, feeling tired. He seemed frustrated and she didn't really understand why. Marcus was irritated that she couldn't see past Oliver's... whatever it was he had over her. "Well," she said, with a shrug. "You're right about that. It takes time... I guess..." She had been wrong about a lot of things in regards to Wood. It was hard to admit but she would... always, a part of her, love him. She didn't really know what that love meant but she would. He was too... Oliver for her not too. They'd been together for far too long.
Course, if the rumors were true and he was involved with some brunette... well, that was her answer. She supposed it already was THE answer. "I was just curious," she said, with a shrug. "It's not like I know you that well. Aside from the constant battles on the pitch and the occasional run in with Lexi... we don't move anywhere near the same social circles." It wasn't that hard to understand her curiosity. She didn't exactly match his... whatever it was he had.
"Because you find my amusing," she said, with a smile. "And entertaining and you like a challenge. You don't get enough of a challenge from your regulars and I mix things up a bit." That she could understand. Leaning forward, she met his gaze. "Here's the problem. I'm attracted to you. I want nothing more than to let you take me to bed. But I've gone down that road with a teammate and it turned to shit and you and I already have problems getting on on the best of days. Add to it that we actually have to work together?" Katie shook her head and leaned back. "I can't see it working out well for either of us. Mostly me. But still."
She let out a frustrated sigh and ran a hand through her pony-tail. "As hard as you're working on getting me into bed... I'm trying just as hard to stay out of it."
