No Letting Go [Completed]

Ten

[A Few Months Later]

{Aaliyah's POV}

Colin and I have been working on us...but he's such a drama queen sometimes, after about a month in, we will argue about once a month, and he'll come over, or I'll go to him and we'll have make-up sex. It be his fault most of the time. Right now he's mad at me because I couldn't make it to the game today. They made it to the Super Bowl and I couldn't make it, and I told him wayyyy before, and the game say rolls around and he gets mad. Apparently I don't make time for him. I roll my eyes at the thought. We are nothing exclusive anyway, so he needs to quit trippin."

{Colin's POV}

Tonight's game can change a lot for me. Being a rookie, taking over mid season and leading the team to a Super Bowl is a life changer. I've went to being just a regular person, to an A-List celebrity. But non of that compares to finding out about Riley. Our bond grows stronger with each day that goes by and she's gone to every home game and she's here tonight...walking with me to the tunnel, carrying my helmet for me and we stop before walking in. I kneel down in front of her.

"They're all cheering for you daddy."

"Yeah..but you know what...as long as you're out there cheering for me, that's all that matters."

"Good luck daddy."

"Thanks baby girl." She hands me my helmet, and I leave her with security who's gonna take her back to my mom.

**********************************************

On the 20 yard line, in the red zone, and all we need is a touchdown, and we're Super Bowl champs. We line up, I take the snap and see crab open. I hit him with the pass and he catches it and scores. That's game and the whole stadium erupts.

I can't even start celebrating because I'm in shock. I just won a damn Super Bowl. The confetti starts coming down and it finally starts to set in. After shaking hands with the opposing teams, cameras follow my every move as I go try and find my daughter.

I spot them still standing where their seats are. I climb over and go up to them..with security following me the entire time.

"You did it daddy!" She says and gives me a kiss.

"Come on. Lets go." We head back down to the field and I'm given two hats and two tshirts. I put mine over my shoulder pads, I put hers on and put her on my shoulders. She stays like that until the trophy ceremony. This whole moment is surreal, and there's no one I'd rather share it with than my family.

After the confetti settles they get the trophy ceremony started, and I get MVP award and I'm still at a lost for words. I give a short speech because I really just don't know what to say. When all the madness is done, me and Riley get escorted to the tunnel where my dad is waiting. I hand her off to him, and I gotta stay to do more interviews. I finally finish it all and go to the locker room. I can hear the guys in there going wild as I get closer to the locker room. When I walk in, my face is doused in champagne and we celebrate more.

Afterwards, I take a shower because I reek of alcohol then go do my press conference, which I'm all smiles the entire time.

{Aaliyah's POV}

The next day, after classes, Colin and Riley should be home by now. I go over to his house straight from campus. I open the door with the key he gave me a while back.

"Riley....Colin!" I call out. Simba comes running towards the door and I bend down to pet him.

"In daddy's room." Riley yells.
