Nolan POV

"remind me why I am going to a club with my sister" Hunter complained.

"because Skylar is going to be there" I repeat my same response. 

"right I forgot the girl, who you dropped your bag on her face" he couldn't help the laugh that escaped him. 

"Can we move past that now please" I did not want to keep reliving that? 

"Funny how you think I will let this go if this thing works out between you too. it will be a golden story" he might be right but for now, it needs to stop.

 "whatever man just go home so you can get ready, I know how long you take on your hair." I teased him.

"wow rude much, besides your the one who takes forever on their hair" he scoffed and stood up off my coach. 

we razzed each other it's what we do best.

"see you out front in about three hours?" I wanted to confirm.

"ya we will uber it" he claimed.

I nod and stand so I can walk him to the door. we did our handshake and he was out.

Hunter does not live far from me, he lives right around the street from me. We both live in the penthouse sweets in high-rise apartments. I then decided I should go shower. 

so here I was ready to go and making my way down to meet Brody outside for our Uber. 

"hey man," Brody greets me.

"you know we need to find you, someone, tonight, that way your not alone" I would hate for him to feel left out. 

"you can't be my wingman if you going to be off getting your own girl" he did make a fair point.

"I can multitask" I mean how hard can that be?

"I won't hold my breath" he rolled his eyes which caused me to laugh. 

we arrived at the club and the line was crazy, I looked at Brody and I think he knew what I was thinking. 

"you go find the girls, I will talk to the bouncer" he announced.

I nod and pulled out my phone, I decided to call Sky to see where they are.

"Hey" she picked up on the second ring.

"you guys at the club yet" I question.

"ya got here about five minutes ago, we waiting in this long ass line now" she claimed.

"Okay wave to me, Brody and I get VIP entrance" I informed her.

"Don't have to tell me twice it's freezing. can you see me?" she asked and I saw someone waving about fifteen or more people down the line. 

"ya I see you" I claimed then started my way down. 

"hey" I smiled as I came into view of all the girls, but I noticed that there was someone else I have never met before.

"Thanks so much for getting us in" Sky smiled.

"ya, it's no worries." I grinned.

"oh Nolan this is Ginny, she's on the team with us, Camery invited her out with us as she is new to the team also" Sky introduced the new girl.

"Hello" she smiled at me. 

"hi," I replied.

"you know I don't know how I did not think of this" Grace announces as we neared the front where Brody was waiting for us. 

"you know I don't think I told you that you look great" I leaned down so Skylar could hear me. 

"oh um thanks you look nice too" she had a slight tint to her cheeks.

"whos ready to party" Brody called out as we came into his view.

the bouncer smiled at us and lifted the rope so that we could all go inside. I made sure to keep my hand on the small of Skylar's back so I did not lose her as we entered the crowd. at least that's what I was trying to tell myself. 

"let's go get our drinks" Grace called out and linked her arms through Skylar and her other through Cam's arm. 

Skylar turned to send me a look, I just gave her a reassuring smile. 

"so Ginny is fine as hell" Brody called out from beside me.

"ya, she's a cowboy," I tell him as I wiggle my eyebrows at him.

"well ain't that good for me then" he grinned.

"see you don't even need me as a wingman" I laughed.

"whatever man" he pushed my shoulder.

"Well hello there" I heard a voice behind me.

I turned around and was met with a decent-looking girl. she was batting her eyelashes at me.

"hey" was all I said.

"care to dance?" she moved to push herself up on me.

I stepped back, "no thanks" 

"well why not?" she pushed.

"not interested" I kept it short.

"I can't believe Nolan Sanders is turning me down" she scoffed and turned around.

I rolled my eyes, sometimes being so in the public eye has its downfalls. I made my way over to the bar, I needed a drink and fast.

"scotch neat," I tell the bartender as I walked up. 

"I had you down as a rum and coke kind of guy" I heard Skylar's voice.

I turned so that I could look at her, she looked so good it was crazy.

"some days" I replied.

"so got any siblings?" she randomly mentions.

"I have four brothers," I tell her.

she looked at me with wide eyes. "your mom had five boys" 

"ya she had she wanted to try for at least one girl, but it wasn't in the cards I guess," I claimed.

"so what number are you?" she asked.

"I am the second oldest. Jackson who is twenty-five then there is Seth he's twenty-two after him is Oliver who is twenty, and then the baby is Tyson he just turned nineteen." I listed. 

"Wow, your poor mother I can't imagine the food bill at your house" she was not wrong. we ate her out of house and home. 

"so clearly your not from around here? I hear an accent of some sort" I was curious.

"I am from North Carolina" she informed me.

"well, that's quite the move," I said.

"ya, I miss my family a lot" she claimed.

"Ya my family lives like thirty minutes outside of Dallas, so it's nice having them close." I was really close with my family.

"you the only football player?" she asked.

"Tyson just started university for it, but other than that ya" I explained.

"must be nice having siblings, being an only child can be lonely" she claimed.

"Sometimes I wished I was an only child, but I could see how it could be lonely. are you close with your parents?" I asked and her face quickly changed. I knew I must have said something wrong. 

"um I was they passed when I was eighteen," she tells me and now I feel bad.

"oh-" I started to say but she cut me off.

"Please don't say you're sorry, I hate when people say that. I am fine really. I have my aunt and Uncle who are like my second parents" she informed me.

"okay" was all I could think to say.

"so you ever going to ask me to dance?" she looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
