My Brother's Quarterback {SLOW UPDATES}

Chapter Three

Jalen pov

"hows she liking it here so far?" I ask Devtona while putting on my gear for the day. It's supposed to be around 98 degrees out there today so I already know I'm finna be sweating like a dog out there. It's nothing I'm not used to but the heat in Philly is different than Houston and Alabama.

"She loves it down here man. She loves the city and the birds." He responds sitting on the brown wooden bench in front of his locker. He lifts his right leg up to put on his cleats.

"how does she like living with you?" I ask slowly but surely getting to the point.

He chuckles slightly before switching feet.

"Besides hearing me having sex on the daily?" He looks up at me briefly. "She hates it there." I laugh at his honesty with me but thats what I signed up for when I became his best friend.

Devonta is my best friend. He's been my best friend since we first met at Alabama. He and I just clicked the moment we met. Our humor match perfectly. Our timing for everything we do, both on and off the field,match perfectly.

I would go nuts too if I had to hear my siblings have sex every other day. Now I understand why most times when I see her she looks slightly tired with bags under her eyes. Poor girl.

I decide it's time to man up and tell him about an idea I came up with a few weeks ago.

"hey man I got a crazy Idea I need to run by you." I tell Devonta while were getting ready for practice. I just hope when I tell him this, he doesn't kill me.

"what's up?" He asks while putting a large white tank on. I breath out slightly before putting my grown man drawers on before I wimp out.

Which I why I'm nervous to talk to him about this.

"You know how in my apartment I have that guest room and bath I'm not using." I say with my voice slowly fading,hoping he gets the hint and I dont have to just say it bruntly.

He furrows his brows in confusion meaning he doesn't understand what I'm saying,well trying to say. I breath out slightly and just go on with it.

"if shes okay and comfortable with it. She can stay with me until she finds a more permanent soultion." I say with hesitation in my voice. His mouth forms an O shape as he understands what I'm saying.

"I'm fine with it. You gon' have to ask her tho." He says grabbing his helmet and leaving the locker room. I let out a sigh of relief that the conversation was over.

Now it just have to find Imani and ask her.

----------

"ill see yall later." I shout walking out through the locker room doors to leave. Our hours long practice was finally over and we got to go home. My stomach has been rumbling for hours now.

what am I gonna get to eat?

As I'm walking to my car I notice a dark skinned girl sitting in a white jeep wranger with her head down. A smile comes across my face once I realize who it is. I throw my gear in my car and make my way over to her.

Upon getting closer to her, I can see her better. Her shoes were on the passenger side of the front seat. Her legs were crossed together and in her hands was a pale pink journal and black ink pink. He eyebrows were furrowed together, consentrating.

"whatchu' writing?" I ask deciding to make my presence known. She jumps ups at the sound of my voice. I take a step back at her reaction. She turns and looks over at me with her hand on her chest.

"what the hell Jalen!" She says reaching her hand out of the rolled down window and hit's me square in mine.

"my bad ma'. " I say chuckling and stumbling back a bit. Her cheeks starts to redden slightly after I called her that. I decide to not ask her that so she doesn't get more embarassed.

"whatchu writing?" I ask changing the subject. She looks down at the pink booklet and slams it shut; throwing it on the passenger seat.

"nothing." She says quickly,a bit too quickly if you ask me. Were gonna revisit that at a later date.

"Hmm" I say looking at my feet for a few seconds completing whether I want to ask her right now or wait.

"I heard you wanted to see me?" I snap my head up looking up at the dark skinned beauty.

Looking for her? I ask repeatedly in my head. Who the hell told her that? My brain starts moving at a million miles an hour trying to figure it out.

A light buld goes off in my head as I figure out that it was Devonta who told her that. Why would he do that?

I breathe out slightly before leaning my arms on the side of the car.

here goes nothing.

"You still living with Dea?" I ask looking her in the eyes.

"yeah Unfortunatly. Ive been looking for new apartments for weeks now." She says shrugging her shoulders and leaning back in her seat.

Poor girl.

"how badly do you wanna move out?" I ask leaning forward slightly closer into the window. She leans her head in my driection. Her eyes meet mine for a few moments before studying my face.

"So bad. If I have to hear my brothers girlfriends moan his name one more time, I might just jump out the window." She says dramatically casuing the both of us to laugh.

Here goes nothing.

"what if I told you, I have a guest room in my apartment that I'm not using?" Her eyes light up slight upon the words leaving my mouth. A huge smile forms on her lips and her pearly white teeth showing.

"are you serious right now?" She asks on the edge of excitment. I smile myself and nod my head up and down. She squeals lightly and reaches her arms out the car window,her arms wrap around my neck and pulls me into the car, hugging me .

My face goes near her neck. She smells like Vanilla and roses. She smells beautiful.

"you are the actual best Jalen! I don't have to sleep on his pull out couch any more or hear him have sex anymore. This is amazing. Thank you so much!" She says finally letting me go. My neck feels cold now that her arms isn't on it any more.

"your welcome. I can't Imagine how it feels to have to hear that." I say chuckling. She laughing with me nodding her head.

"heres my number. Call or text me so we can sort out the details. The quicker I can leave,the better." She says handing me a piece of paper with her number on it. I nod my hand put the paper in my back pocket.

"alright, I'll call you later?" I say asking, I think. She nods her head up and down while smiling. We say our goodbyes and she drives off.

Whew thank God I got that out the way. Luckily she said yes too.

I am doing this for her own denifit tho. I used to room with Devtona my freshman year so I understand her pain right now.

Theres also something about her. I don't know what it is but it's something
