Her last text came in almost 3 hours ago. They were most likely on their way to their apartment by now.

We talked for almost 45 minutes last night. Well, the last 20 was filled with moans, grunts, and ohhs and ahhs. I was getting hot thinking about it. Not a good thing when you were getting ready to hit the field. Tonight, I would make sure there was more of that. She was meeting me and my friends around 8 at Crabby’s Hotdogs, Burgers, and More.

I pulled on my helmet and ran plays with my teammates. I felt the atmosphere change. We had back-to-back games next week. Adrenaline was pumping around the locker room and during practice. We were ready.

The heat, however, I was not ready for. I sweat more than a pig in this 90 plus-degree weather.

My football gear stuck to my skin in this heat. I didn’t mind it one bit. I was here, doing what I loved to do.

During a 5-minute break, I glanced around the field. I saw a bunch of girls by the bleachers. They were always there, wearing some sort of skimpy outfits. College groupies. My teammates would probably meet up with them after practice.

After practice, I stayed behind with coach to discuss strategies for the upcoming games. A loud whistle interrupted our conversation, followed by John’s booming voice, “Z has a lady visitor!”

Huh? Why the hell would he need to announce that? Girls were around practice all the time. Some of them even enthusiastically painted their bodies with # 1 Fans. John usually didn’t make a big fuss out of it.

I excused myself from Coach and turned around.

Wait, was that Sedona?

About 50 yards away, on the sidelines, John was standing next to a familiar figure of a lady who was wearing a cap, sleeveless top, shorts and tennis shoes. My heart did a flippity-flop thing when I recognized her.

I waved at her and turned my attention back to Coach. We talked shop for another 10 minutes and then, I scooted off the field.

As I got closer to her, I realized she was wearing sunglasses. Her lips were smiling and her boobs jiggled when she waved. Damn, my woman was fine!

I pulled off the helmet off of my head and grinned. Her eyes lit up. She looked like she definitely missed me.

“Hey babe.” She stood almost a foot away from me.

It was hot and I was sweaty as hell. As much as I wanted to hug her, I badly needed a shower. She could faint from my stink.

I pointed at my sweaty uniform and said, “Give me a few minutes to clean up, k? I really stink!”

Her lips turned up. “Alright.”

I suggested for her to stay in the shade. A couple of girls eyed her. Sedona was new to my scene. She probably didn’t know about groupies. I’d have to explain it to her later.

As I turned my back to her to get in the shower as quickly as possible, she called out, “Babe?”

I retraced my steps and looked at her, “Yeah?”

Her mouth was gaping, “When…when, did you get that tattoo?” She pointed to the condor tattoo underneath my right arm.

My eyes went from my tattoo to her face, “Umm, a while ago.”

She had rested her sunglasses on top of her hair. I saw the shock and surprise in her eyes, “Oh my god! It was you. You cut in front of me and bought me coffee!” She put her hands to her mouth.

What the hell was she talking about? What coffee?

Realization dawned on me, “You were the girl I cut in front of? Months ago?”

She nodded.

Whoa. Small, small world.

Sweat trickled down my forehead. When sticky sweat started to drip like water, it made the sweat smell 10 times worse. I really needed to get in the shower.

“Babe, you owe me coffee then,” I smiled wickedly at her.
