A Boy From Manning Heights ✔️

Chapter 49 | Jasper

TW: Sexual Content

I was right when I told Beckett this was going to "fucking suck". Having to stay away from him, keep a friendly distance between us has quickly become excruciating and it's only been a day.

Beckett caved and let me spend the night in his bed, but I think he just knew I would have ended up there either way. I don't like to sleep without him anymore and I know he feels the same.

I'm thankful for the game starting soon for two reasons. One; Preston will be here with my stuff and Two; I can be distracted. Think about something other then what I would do to Beckett if I could. Having to stay away from him has kicked my want for him into overdrive and every time I look at him I want to touch him.

"Yo J! Let's go!"

I nod at the guys at the other side of the locker room, they're getting ready to head to the field, but I told Preston I'd meet him outside real quick and I don't want the guys to think I'm trying to tell our plays to my old team.

"I'll catch up!"

The guys shrug and Brody lifts a brow, but I shake my head and he follows the rest of the team to the field. I slip out the door shortly after and Preston is leaning against the wall.

"About fucking time it's cold as balls out here"

I chuckle "you'll survive, you got my shit?"

He pushes himself off the wall and crosses his arms.

"Nah I want to hear it"

Immediately I'm making a face, I have no idea what he's on about.

"Hear what? How annoying you are?"

He shakes his head.

"Tell me how good of a friend I am, seriously this shit I only did because you're my ride or die, so let's here it"

I roll my eyes because he's acting like this is a bigger deal then it is. Although I had considered he might not do it for me, and I was surprised when he did.

"Fine okay, you're the best friend I could ever have and I truly appreciate you taking one for the team. Now can I fucking have it?"

He smirks "there you go, now I'll see you in the field"

He starts to walk away and I groan.

"Hey! I still need my shit asshat!"

He chuckles "oh yeah!"

Suddenly it's being tossed through the air. I catch it luckily and roll my eyes tucking it in my pocket. When I get back to the locker room I toss it in my locker and take off my hoodie to put my gear and my jersey on before running out to join the guys on the field.

Brody walks over when he sees me.

"You good?"

I only shrug "why wouldn't I be?"

Brody nods toward the other side of the field where Fairhurst is gathered. I let my eyes scan the huddle and pick out most of the guys. They've still got a decent team, doesn't look like anyones off for any injuries, but I'm still not worried. Fairhurst and Balton are equal in skill, this should be a good game.

When Beckett walks over to us everyone starts cheering and talking. I just watch. He looks so good all determined and in charge. This is the moment where I wish I could just do what I wanted. Kiss him, but honestly I settle for even just fucking hold his hand.

"You boys ready?"

All the guys cheer before a guy in my auto class chuckles.

"You should be asking Jasper that question it's his old team he could be their trojan horse"
