The coaches Daughter

Chapter Three

"Coach" he yelled.
As we where walking towards my father Cole kept trying to get his attention but my dad just ignored him. When we where finally right behind him Cole tapped him on the shoulder. my dazed, thinking wow nobody ever touches my father or "the Coach". My dad quickly grabbed Cole's wrist and started yelling all kinds of crap about being disrespectful.
"Well if just listen for one minute instead of trying to take my head off you'll understand." Cole yelled back.
I was trying to back away slowly as things calmed down but sure enough, Coles large callused hand rapped around mine. Even though it was hard and tough it was like heaven to me. All I could dream of was his long muscular arms wrapped around me when my dads voice broke my daydreaming.
"What is this about Riley?"
"I... uh" before I could reply Cole cut me off.
"That dick-head Zach, just man handled her and left a giant fucking bruise on her arm." Cole basically hollard.
"Zach as in my player, her boyfriend." "Ex boyfriend," I butted in.
"Why would you breakup with Zach?" my dad asked clearly mad.
i didn't know what to say. Do I say the truth, that I never really liked him that I only dated him to make my dad happy.
"You know what I don't even care," my dad said. "What is this about him hurting you?"
"Uh... I fell and Cole helped me up and Zach kinda got mad so I broke up with him finally and he grabbed my arm really hard... and Cole punched him." I said never looking my dad in the eye.
When I finally do look up I see my dad looking at Cole then he puts his hand out.
"Thank you, for helping my daughter." Cole smiled and looked at me. And said," I was glad too sir, your daughter is very... interesting." I looked down so he wouldn't de me blush but my dad just laughed and commented. "Young love." which made me blush even louder.
*****************
After my run and the boys practice was over Cole tan to catch up to me on my way to my car.
"Hey"
"Hey" I said.
"So I wanted to uh... um."
"Spit it out already." I said smirking at him.
He smiled and commented, "a little impatient are we?"
"Shut up." he smiled down at me.
"Anyways I wanted to see him you wanted to go out with me sometime." he asked.
"Like as friends." I questioned.
He stepped closer to me. So close I could smell his mouth watering cologne. "I was thinking something like more than friends."
Me turning away to hide my blushing but he put two fingers under my chin to get me to look at him.
"Don't hide from me." he said taking my breathe away. He begun to lean closer when I heard Mandi call my name which brought me out of my trance.
"Um, yea I'd like to go out with you sometime." I answered Cole and took out a pen and wrote my number on his arm and ran off toward Mandi. My stomach was doing flip flops the whole ride home from the butterflies. I'm going on a date with Cole, I almost kissed Cole. Now for the first time in forever I can't wait to get back to school... to see him.
***************
When I woke up the next morning I couldn't stop thinking of Cole. I didn't know what to wear, how I should do my hair, or my makeup. I walked over to my full length mirror and notice I have a giant zit right in the middle my forehead. I look like I have a third eye. I got in the shower, got out but still had no idea what to wear. I walked over to my closet and decided on a baby doll styled white dress with dark pink pumps. I blow dried my hair and curled the ends then covered up my third eye, went with light eye shadow and bold mascara.
When I got to school I parked right next to the jock guys who sit outside and whistle at girls. So of course I got my fair share of whistles, when Zach approached.
"Can we talk?" He asked, his voice almost sounding innocent but I'm not falling for it.
"What about, Zach?"
"Us."
I looked at him and he had a innocent look on his face but his eye beg to differ.
"There is no "Us" Zach we are over." I can see him start to get mad, but that's the last thing I need right now.
"Zach please don't act like you actually ever really cared for me, because I know you didn't. I knew all about your weekly meet ups with the sluts of the schools. I just don't want to have to deal with it anymore." With that I walked away.
*******************
After my encounter with Zach I was late to class but really didn't feel like going anymore, so I skipped. I went to the football field and sat in the bleachers just thinking.
"What is a beautiful girl doing all by herself." The mesmerizing voice of Cole Anderson broke my thoughts.
I turned my head to look at him, when I did the sight was amazing. He was wearing a white t-shirt that you can see his chest through, dark washed jeans and wore out converse. In that moment he was the hottest guy I have ever seen.
"I don't know." I answered him truthfully.
"What do you mean."
"I just don't know. I don't know how to make my dad happy. I don't know how to be there for my brother now that he can't play ball. I don't know what..." I cut myself off not wanting to tell him everything.
"You don't know what?" He questioned.
"It's nothing, I don't wanna talk about it." I told him.
"Okay." he said sitting down next to me. "So I was thinking we could go out tonight." he looked at me with hopeful eyes.
"It's a date." I smiled up at him.
"I'll pick you up at 7." I winked to me, then walked me to class.
