“Yeah. I ran into Derek and his goons again today.”
“How’d that go?” She asked as if she already knew the answer.
“I took care of it. Hey, I think we should talk about my goals.”
“Your goals?”
“What I want to do with my life after I graduate.”
“You’re going pro, aren’t you?”
“That’s the dream, but I don’t know if I’ll make it.”
“You’re going to make it,” she said confidently.
I smiled, loving her support.
“We could hang out later tonight.”
“Hang out?”
“You know, see where the night takes us,” I added quietly so my teammates wouldn’t hear.
“Oh yeah?”
“I’ll come by after I clean up after practice.
“Make it after eight. Jocelyn will be gone by then.”
“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.
