Ch. 51: Gameplan (Brett/Kendra)

Even while I focused on our team's playoff success, I made sure to keep up with the Cowboys and the ongoing scandal that was suddenly starting to emerge with more details. Reports surfaced that estimated amounts of dollars paid went somewhere between ten thousand to a million dollars for the players to try and knock out the opposition's best players. With each report, the issue became more and more concerning.

I knew Luke was having to deal with this situation hence why he wasn't talking to me. Yet, it did worry me that he wasn't allowing me to help him through all his troubles. Sure, I didn't want to take away from my team's needs. But Luke was as important to me as the players on my team. At least that was my belief.

A few days after our win against the Chiefs, I was watching the six o'clock news on the local channel and everyone was talking about the anticipation of our third home playoff game of the postseason against the Tennessee Titans, who shocked everyone by defeating Baltimore in their divisional round.

There was history between the two teams as a rivalry. It was expected to be a big challenge for our guys in what would be the trilogy of tough games this season. Whoever won was Super Bowl bound.

All of a sudden my phone buzzes and I immediately pick it up. I see that it's a text from an unknown number.

You don't know me. But, there will be a story on your boyfriend and I don't think you're going to like it.

I was confused by this text. Who is this person that thinks they know about my boyfriend Luke? It made no sense whatsoever. I was about to block the number when suddenly, I get three pictures sent to me. I then glanced at the pictures and was surprised to see that all of them featured Luke.

There was a picture of him outside his home stadium holding hands with a short blonde-haired woman wearing a black skirt and leggings along with a white buttoned-down shirt and sunshades. I can tell that picture wasn't of me because I don't have leggings nor sunshades like she does.

The next picture featured Luke and the same woman inside a car. In the passenger seat, the woman seemed to be kissing his neck. Oh my god, the woman was kissing his neck and doing so in a passionate way. This was a red flag moment for me.

Then, the third pic and my mouth dropped. It was in a bedroom with a view of the snowy mountains outside. Luke, shirtless with the bed covers on him had company with him. Yes, the woman was topless although you didn't see her breasts. Yes, the woman was close beside him. And yes, the woman was kissing Luke on the mouth.

My heart was breaking every second. I sat down where I was and I couldn't believe what was happening. Luke was cheating on me. He was cheating on me. I knew things were suspicious with Luke. But never did I think it would stoop to this level.

I saved the pictures and then sent them to Luke's phone with a text message.

Any explanations?

Within a few minutes, Luke called me.

"Babe, it's not what you think?" He said.

"Oh really?" I answer. "Because it sounds to me like you have been fucking around with that woman behind you."

"Look. She was feeling down because of her ex-boyfriend breaking her heart again and needed company. I was there hoping to be as a friend. Instead, we had a few drinks and one thing led to another."

"Then how in the world can you explain why you have a camera in your bedroom?"

"I have no idea how the camera got there. I can assure you that I am looking to get it taken care of."
