It's Always Been Briar

Chapter 46.

I notice Kevin's dad, Mike, with a coaching polo on. So I walk over to him first to shake his hand. 'Nice to see you again, Mr. Mitchell. Glad to hear that Kevin is enjoying the Jeep.' I tell him.

'Thank you so much for coming out to see the team. Practice is about halfway through. We would have done something if we knew you were coming out today.' He says.

'That's why I decided to pop in.' I wink at him and everyone laughs. I look at Kevin and he starts introducing the Coaching staff. I shake their hands along the way.

'Well, you already know my dad.

Coach Mitchell is in charge of special teams.

This is Coach Phillips, the defensive coordinator.

This is Coach Marco, the offensive coordinator.

And lastly, this is Coach Baize, our head coach.

Oh, and this is the Golden Bears Football Team.

Everyone, this is the starting Quarterback for the USC Trojans, River Blankenship and his girlfriend, Briar.'

'Happy to be here, I'm excited to watch y'all play. So, Briar and I are going to go sit on the bleachers and watch as you finish practice. Then after, I'd be happy to hang out with you and answer any questions you may have about college ball.' I tell them.

Coach Baize nods his head. 'Sounds great, thank you, River.' Then he blows the whistle and starts yelling out commands for the next drill. Briar and I go out the gate and find a nice shaded spot to sit.

Practice goes on for another hour and they are finally wrapping up now. I should have gotten Briar a snack and something to drink before we got here.

'Here, love. Take my keys and go get yourself a snack and something to drink. I'm so sorry I didn't think to grab something before we got here.' I tell her and put my keys in her hand.

'Ok, Riv. Do you want anything?' She asks, not hesitating to take my keys and drive the truck. That's a huge fucking turn-on. I readjust my pants and lean over to whisper in her ear. 'Yeah, I need you to not make me hard right now.'

'What?!' She laughs. 'I haven't done anything.'

'Yeah, well I imagined you driving my truck and how sexy that is and it's making me hard.' I whisper to her again. 'A purple monster would be great, love. Here, take my card. We will add it to your Apple wallet later. Please get a snack and at least some water for you.' I tell her while taking my black card out of my wallet and putting it in her hand.

She rolls her eyes at the card, gets up, and heads to the truck. Fuck, I love it so much that she isn't scared to drive the truck. It's so much bigger than her car. Hmmm, her car. We are going to have to talk about getting her a full-size SUV.

'River!' Kevin yells, pulling me out of my thoughts and is waving me over. Making sure I'm not tenting my pants, I get up and head over to the team. 'Great practice boys, I hope you play with that much intensity at every game.' I said.

The coaches kinda laugh a little. 'We wish, I think they were showing off a little for you.' One of the coaches states.

'Ah, well, I'm flattered. But I'm not the one you need to play for. Play for yourself first and everyone else second. If you do that then you will always bring your best game to the field.

As much as I would love to say I play my hardest for my girl, my team, or my family, I don't. I play each and every game for myself because I'm out there to make me proud. When I do that, when I'm playing for me, everything else falls into place.
