Aspen's POV

"...and yeah." I say at the end of my long spiel on the origin of my foundation. "That's how and why I started the Bruin foundation."

After I end my spiel, all the women in the large auditorium clap.

The Cowboys and I played the Saints yesterday in NOLA and we won 42-19.

Today, Friday, Apollo and I are in Austin, Texas for the UT Sorority intramural football charity thing.

"Do you have time to stay for some questions?" One of the main lady's says.

"Of course." I say then a bunch of hands shot up.

The first few questions are about my charity and my life as an intersex person then the questions move on to other stuff.

"What made you drop your sorority?" A brunette lady asks.

"I posted a picture of me in a sports bra and shorts on Instagram and they told me to take it down." I say. "I told them that I looked good as hell in that photo and they could fuck off then I dropped the sorority...I also wasn't cool with the fact that I didn't see a single person of color in any sorority that I went too."

"Would you have time for a sorority as a football player?" A red head asks as my son climbs into my lap.

I'm sat on a chair on the stage of the auditorium.

"Probably." I say. "Ever since Apollo was born I've stuck to a set schedule so he doesn't feel neglected."

At UCLA, I lived with Emma and I would always leave Apollo with her in the morning since I had football stuff from 6-8:30 AM then I'd meet Emma, Jessie, and Apollo in the athletic cafeteria for breakfast then I'd take Apollo with me to all my classes from 10-2:30.

I had 4 in-person classes a day while the rest of my classes we're online.

Monday and Wednesdays we're the days I had my Astrophysics classes while Tuesday and Thursdays we're my African and Middle Eastern Studies classes.

From 3-6 was practice then the rest of the day was spent with Emma, Jessie, and some of the other UCLA soccer lady's having dinner and working on homework.

Now that I'm with the Cowboys, my first meeting starts at 8:30 so I get to the facility at 8 then my last meeting after practice ends at 4 so I'm out of the facility by 4:30.

I have a photographic memory so there's only so much I need to do to memorize shit.

"That's Me." My son says. "I Apollo."

"Aww." The sorority ladies say.

"Are you really dating Emma Harris and Jessie Fleming?" Some girl asks.

"Yes I am." I say with a smile.

"I like Emma and Jessie." Apollo says from my arms which causes the sorority girls to aww again.

"Oh you do?" I say with a smile.

"Yeah." Apollo says. "They gives good cuddles."

"Well maybe tomorrow you can get some cuddles from them." I say.

"They're coming tomorrow?" A blonde lady with a UT soccer hoodie asks.

"Yeah." I say as I look at the tattoo of Emma and Jessie's names on my left wrist. "Jessie's got a game in a few hours then tomorrow they'll drive down from Dallas."

A bunch of the college girls look at each other and have a mini freak out then some lady quiets them down.

"What major we're you?" A black lady with glasses asks.
