"You hitting this or what?" Pulling me from my thoughts, my eyes locked on Trent, a friend of mine from college. He ran his own business out here in LA and was throwing a party tonight after the game so I decided to take that drive and pull up.

After knocking on Trinity's door a million times of course and blowing her phone up.

I didn't even get a chance to tell her about Shannon's plan since that shit was news to me when I walked out the locker room seeing Tatum standing there. Haven't seen the girl since Bre and I broke up so it confused me seeing her before I connected the dots and realized this was Shannon's plan.

To throw the eyes off from Trinity and myself.

Now the girl ain't even talking to me.

My hand reached out and grabbed the blunt from his bringing it to my lips taking a pull. I wasn't much of a smoker especially since we get tested every other week so there's that but tonight I needed this shit in my system.

"You sitting up in here all quiet and shit. What's going on in football world?" Trent questioned me and I sighed leaning back.

"A lot of shit. I just got in a new relationship-"

"With Tatum, right? You bold for getting with your ex's bestie." He chuckled and I rolled my eyes sighing bring the blunt to my lips again and inhaling.

"I ain't with that girl, man... PR."

"For what?!" He turned his head to me in shock and I scratched the side of my face annoyingly.

"I'm dating this girl named Trinity. Pretty as fuck. Cool vibe. Only downside is babygirl works for the team," He stared at me for a few seconds before laughing loudly having a few people in our area look at us. I raised an eyebrow and watched him wondering what so funny. "I'm not playing."

"Hold up, word?" I nodded my head slowly while reaching down and grabbing my cup that was filled with Hennessy. "You fucking with a coworker again?"

A chuckle left my lips as I sunk further down in my seat, "Yeah...but this is real, it ain't just sex like... this girl makes me feel good as shit. I never felt so at peace and happy with someone I just met."

"Not even with-" He started to ask and I shook my head. "Man...I mean look, your happiness is all that matters for real. Don't let a little job stop you from being in love with someone."

"You and Harrison love that L word." I snickered and he raised his eyebrow looking at me.

"Bitch, the way you was just talking about shorty you talking to, I would think you was in love. Eyes all lit up and shit."

"Yeah, aight." Was all I said bringing my cup to my lips. A smile tried to creep it's way to my face but I stopped it and put on my best poker face. "But what about you? You still fucking with—"

"Hell no." I immediately laugh and tossed my head looking at him. "Her crazy ass. Poured baby powder in my gas tank and all."

"'Probably because you kept cheating on shorty. She got tired of it."
