Love and Football (BWWM Interracial Love Story)

Chapter 19 No More Running

Fourth period passed, and I was on my way to Physics. Ugh. I stopped by my locker to get my book. I started walking to class. I heard my phone ding and I took it out my purse to check it as I continued walking. All of a sudden, I collide into a hard chest, dropping my physics book on the floor. I abruptly look up into a pair of beautiful green eyes looking into mine. It was Jason...

"I'm so sorry!" Jason said, shocked. "I wasn't watching where I was going."

He appeared so concerned and apologetic, as if he hurt me. It was cute.

He bent down to pick up my book and stood back up. He towered over me, which I found so sexy.

"Its ok, it's my fault, I wasn't paying attention, " I apologized. 

"Are you ok?" He asked.

"Yea. Yea, I'm fine, " I assured him. "Are you ok?" I asked.

"Yea." He smirked. " I get tackled daily by people twice your size," He chuckled.

I giggled. "That is true." He smiled at me causing me to automatically smile back at him.

I looked at my book in his hands.  "Thank you" I said as I politely reached for it. 

"Oh" He said looking down at my book he was holding. "Here you go" He handed it to me.

"Physics huh, you like it?" He asks me.

"No" I frowned.

"Really? I liked it. It wasn't too bad."

How could anyone like that class? I thought to myself.

"I hate it. We're learning about electricity and this circuit stuff, it doesn't make any sense to me. And we have a test in 3 weeks. I need to talk to Mr.Fowler because I need serious help" I complained.

"Oh Mr.Fowler, I had him too last year. He was an "ok" teacher. He does talk a little fast."

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought he sped through his lectures.

"But if you want, I can help you out. I did pretty good in that class"

What? Oh my gosh. I need the help badly but I don't want to look dumb, being that Physics seems way over my head. Especially in front of Jason. Also I'm still a ball of nerves when I'm around Jason, but I need the help. After I process all of this, I settle on a choice. I decide to accept his offer.

"Really? I would really appreciate that" I smile. "I definitely need help. Thank you so much Jason".

"You're welcome", he smiled.

"Wait, but when would you have the time to help me? Don't you have football practice every day after school?" I asked him, knowing he is super busy. Plus he works on Saturdays with his uncle.

"I can help you after school on Tuesdays. We don't have practice on Tuesdays."

"Oh! Ok. We don't have dance practice on Tuesdays either, so that works." I realized, feeling a mix of relief and nervousness about the idea of being alone with him.

"Do you want to start today?" He asked me, catching me by surprise.

Oh Gosh.

" Sure, we can do that" I agreed, feeling my heart race a little.

" Ok meet me at the library. Is 3 ok?"

"Yea that sounds good". I nodded.

"Ok I'll see you then." He smiles. He has such a pretty smile.

"See you then".

We went our separate ways.

And there it is. I have my own personal tutor, who happens to be the boy I've been crushing on for the past 5 months.

It was so easy to avoid him before. I would see him walk in my direction and I would go the other way.

When I became friends with Elisha and Larissa over the summer, I had no idea their boyfriends were friends with Jason.

Then when school started, he showed up and changed everything. I cannot avoid him no matter how much I try. I literally collided with him today. Is this a sign? Or I am just thinking too far out there? One thing I know is that when you really want something, you have to go get it. It rarely ever falls into your lap. I like Jason a lot. He's always on my mind. My body reacts every time he's around. I decided I'm not gonna run anymore. I'm gonna stay put and see what happens next.
