“I’ll see you tonight, Brooke.”
“Bye, Austin.”
I ended the call, feeling confident in my plan to rid myself of the pesky woman. Once we had sex, I’d be able to get her out of my head and be able to concentrate on more important things, like football and going pro.
The thought of going to hang out with Brooke later that night and having my way with her made me work even harder on the field as we played a full scrimmage game.
Coach yelled at us from the sideline whether we executed a play perfectly or not. When I noticed him watching me closely, I made sure to put in some extra effort. Thanks to Trey, he would be keeping an eye on me throughout the season. As a star, I had to keep proving myself to my teammates, the fans, and especially Coach.
No pressure.

Brooke
After Austin ended the call, I put my hand on my lap and looked over at Jocelyn on the couch.
“You’re working at eight tonight, right?”
She nodded.
“Yeah, why? Your new boyfriend coming over again?”
“What are you, twelve years old?”
I rolled my eyes as she stood up and walked over.
“I’ve got to get to class. I’ll talk to you tomorrow if I don’t see you,” I said, avoiding her.
“You’re not coming back before I leave for work?”
“I don’t think I’m coming back that early. I’ve got a few things I need to do before tonight.”
“Okay, see you tomorrow then.”
I left the apartment and headed toward campus. With Austin coming over that night, I wanted to make sure I had a pair of fresh panties, something nice in case we went all the way. I still wasn’t sure if I was ready to let him or not.
He probably had women sleeping with him on the first date or within ten minutes of meeting him. His hard body made me swoon, and I still hadn’t seen him completely. I remembered the sound of him coming on the phone. I could only imagine what that would be like with his body pressed hard against mine.
When I made it to the main strip in the center of campus, I approached the Ladies Night lingerie shop. Before I made it to the door, I saw Trey approaching from the other way. Should I slip into another store and come back later?
Too late.
“Brooke!” he called out while raising his hand and walking over.
“Hey, Trey. How’s your knee?”
“I thought you said you weren’t going to tell anyone what happened,” he hissed. “What’s your deal?”
“What do you mean? I didn’t tell anyone.”
“Austin said you told him.”
I shook my head. What did Austin’s big mouth say now?
“He’s lying to you, then.”
“Are you sure?” he asked, staring into my eyes.
