(y/n's pov)
"you sure you gonna be okay to stand on sideline alone?" - Joe
"yup I'll be fine, i'll be entertained watching the practice." - you
"okay, imma head inside now" - joe
"okay, see ya in a bit" - you
joe turned around and i watched him walk towards the locker room entrance. we had been standing by his parked car in the players garage as he gave me directions on how to get to the practice fields from here.
as i made my way over, my thoughts were all over the place. last night was; something. joe broke up with his girlfriend and practically cuddled with me the whole night. not to mention us holding hands for a little bit before that. i still don't know what that meant, or what either of us were trying to do. it just felt right in the moment and i think we both respected that enough to not bring it up.
this morning a woke up alone on the couch, the smell of bacon wafting through the air. when i leaned up and was able to see the kitchen i was met with the sight of joe cooking breakfast. we told each other good morning before enjoying breakfast together; our friendship slowly going back to what it once was as we cracked jokes and brought up silly memories.
it was really great to have joe back.
my thoughts calmed down a little bit when the team started walking out. at first i thought i was going crazy when i thought i saw a familiar face but when he got closer and i could see his face better i realized i wasn't going crazy.
ja'marr chase?
since when did he play for the bengals?! the last time i saw that crazy kid was in Louisiana.
but. ja'marr wasn't the only person i noticed.. the extremely attractive number 85 walking next to him caught my eye. definitely looking him up on the roster later, i thought.
i was completely zoned out watching #85 walking past when the fans erupted into cheers. i moved my gaze to the gate when my eyes fell on joe, that's when i realized my previous thoughts were wrong and needed to stop. can't go after your best friends teammates y/n! the little voice in the back of my head told me.
when joe made his way onto the field and the team was given their assignments for the first little bit of practice, i found myself getting a little bored.
my mom had texted me to ask how things went with joe last night so i was texting her back when i felt a tap on my shoulder.
when i turned around there were two girls with smiles on the faces.
"sorry if i startled you.. but we saw you standing over here and thought you looked a little lonely. i'm jess, sam hubbard girlfriend!" - jess stuck her hand out and you shook it
"oh hi! i was kind of getting a little bored." - you laugh slightly
"im gracie, evan mcpherson's fiancé." - gracie shook your hand
"it's lovely to meet you guys! i'm y/n." - you smiled
"ohhhhh" - gracie and jess had a moment of realization in sync
"huh?" - you nervously laughed
"when you said your name we realized who you were." - gracie
"may i ask how?"
"joe talks about you all the time to sam. i've overheard their call." - jess smiled
"oh? i'm actually here with joe, we're childhood best friends." - you
