Zander

Start of another semester loomed right around the corner.

Life was great. The San Francisco Mariners’ record was 7-1. Two more games and we were headed for the College Bowl.A week ago, I received a letter of nomination for Most Outstanding Player in Collegiate Football. Last time I checked, my GPA was 3.65. My parents were healthy. I had an awesome girlfriend, who was smart, beautiful, and freaky in bed.

Tonight, we were all out celebrating. Sedona was out with the ladies. "Tradition," shesaid. We've been together for a while now. I've learned to deal with her hang-ups and she has learned to deal with mine. Well, mostly. She still has yet to accept the logic of not ironing jeans, but shit, I had no complaints. Whenever she wore jeans, I could not wait to take it off of her. Actually, anything she wore gave me the itch to take it off of her.

She calledto tell me that they were at Chasens. I was going to suggest meeting up with them, with a few guys in tow. She interrupted; freakin' interrupted me, and said not to show up there. She said that she would be so distracted by my presence and end up staring at me the whole night and wanting to feel my body up.

Yes, looks were deceiving. Sedona might look like an innocent lady on the outside but the things she did to me in private were far from innocent and the results were heavenly. It was like she had all this pent-up sexual tension for the past 21 years and she unleashed them all on me. I was a lucky SOB!

The guys, Dom, John, Xavier, two of Xavier's high school buddies, and I, ended up at Morell's Billiards. Kieran and Dom met us there. Kieran and I have become closely acquainted. He was Sedona's best friend and he was a cool guy. We had a bunch of things in common. He knew the spotlight put on college athletes because he was one. He protected her as much as I did. Sedona still got upset about that Chatty Pepper site but she was learning to cope with it. I thought that Kieran had a lot to do with that.

I was waiting for my break in 8-ball when I heard a female voice on my side, "You're Zander, right?"

She was a pretty, blonde, blue-eyedwoman in a little black dress.

I didn't want tobe rude, so I said, "Yeah."

Her eyes fluttered and she smiled, pearly white teeth showed.

"I'm a big fan of yours."

"Thanks." I was uncomfortable. I was used to getting approached by girls. I had no desire to act on that.That spot was already taken.

"I was wondering if you could join me at the bar." She had initiative. I had to give her that.

Before this went any further, I looked at her and asked, "What's yourname?"

"Deena."

"Listen, Deena. Thanks for being a fan."

Her eyes fluttered again. Did she have something in her eye?

I continued, "I can't join you at the bar,” I pointed to Xavier and his buddies on the other side of the billiards table, “I'm sure my friends over there wouldbe happy to join you later."

Disappointment marred her face, "Oh, I don't want them. I want you. I know you have a girlfriend; she doesn't have to know."

Everyone probably knew I had a girlfriend because of that Pepper website. This chick was unbelievable. I was tamping down my anger when Kieran approached.She had her hand on me now.

I removed her hand abruptly from my arm and in cold, furious tones, I said, "Listen, my girlfriend might not know. But I'll know. And I'm not in the habit of cheating on her. So please, leave."

She scooted away in huffs.

Kieran saw the whole thing, he simply said, "You ok, man? The price of being Star QB and shit huh?" He could relate. He wasa star in his chosen sport.

I nodded and racked the balls on the table.

We hopped to Jonesy's Bar after racking up a few games. We were having a good ole' guys time. Tons of girls flirted with my friends. I was more than happy to have the attention deflected away from me.

It was 1:30 in the morning when my phone vibrated inside mypocket, Sedona was calling,

"Hey bbbabby..." her voice was slurred.

She must have had wayy too many margaritas and mojitos.

"Hey, wassup? You home?" I asked. If she was, I was definitely comingover.
