Bam went my heart

14. Talk

It's after practice, and I see Lucas walking away. I hurry to catch up to him and pat him on the back. "Hey, I heard you and Olivia are dating,dating," I add.add.  "This won't get in the way of football, will it?" He shakes his head. head.  I swing my hand around his shoulder. "You do remember last year, right?" I shake my head. Last year was very bad.

He got a girlfriend who was the most controlling type, which caused him to not play well. Always be with her, instead of practicing. It even brought down our team. "You don't want me to be with her?" he asks, looking at me.

Yes

"No, its just that you have a dream of being in the NFL, and I dont want it ruined because of some girl, you know."

"She's not just some girl." He says, defending her, "I do like her, and you have no say in what I do with my love life!" This guy has got to be joking.

Love life? He knows nothing about her. He doesn't know how she was scared of fireflies until 4th grade or the fact that she likes strawberry ice cream.

I gritted my teeth together. "As your captain, I do have a say if it gets in the way of football." I raise my voice. "No, you don't," he rushes away into the locker rooms. I scoff

I hear Reece come up behind me and say, "What was that about?" I shake my head. "Nothing." I sigh.

I get home, and to my surprise, I see Jones on my bed reading the twisted series. "Are you already here?" I ask, and she looks up from the book to me and replies, "You told me to be, so yeah, I've been waiting." I add, "How was your date?" and she mumbles, It was good.

She puts the book away and gets out my school stuff.

—------------------------

We have been working on stupid history for 2 hours, and I'm getting bored. "Wanna get ice cream?" she asks, checking her phone for the time. It's only 8 and it closes at 10, so we do have time.

"I need to run home to get money and be home by 9." I pull her downstairs. "It's fine. I'll pay now. Let's go." She looks up at me as if I'm sure. I nod towards her.

We rush into my car. May I add that it's a black Audi R8? I love this thing and absolutely adore it. We get to the boardwalk and to the ice cream shop.

"I can order for us both if you want to go sit over there," I tell her. "You don't even know what I want." She fires at me. I smirk at her and say, "Let me surprise you then." She scoffs and walks to sit on a bench.

I walk up to the lady working there and say, "Hello." She gives me a flirtatious smile. "Can I get a plain vanilla?" I wait for her to make my vanilla ice cream before asking for Liv's order. " Can I also get a strawberry with chocolate syrup in a cup?

"Are you single?" She asks, handing me the cup. "No." I keep my answer short but informative. I'm not interested in her. "We should hang out once I'm off my shift."

Is this lady crazy? "Im here with my girlfriend," I gesture towards Liv, who is sitting. She looks at me, confused as to what I am doing. I take the ice cream and walk away before she can say anything else.

I walk up to her and see her face in shock when she sees I got it right: "How did you even know?" I reply, "I've got my way." I hand her the ice cream.

"What were you pointing to me for?" She asks, and I chuckle at her question. "She was asking if I was single." She gestures to me to continue. "I told her no." She looks at me with her mouth open.

"Why would you turn her down?" she questions

I shrug as she starts uncontrollably laughing. "Remember when you liked Melissa in 6th grade? She laughs even more.

I never liked her, but she doesn't need to know that.

"Don't remind me," I scoff. I look at her, smiling toward me. I started smiling too.

Her smile is quite contagious. We're just two idiots smiling at each other. Sometimes, just a smile is enough to make you fall in love.

Not that I would know anything about love.

"Your smile is pretty," I compliment her. She tickles her head slightly to the side, looking down at her ice cream.

"Are you blushing?" I question her, "You totally are!"

She yells shyly towards me, "I am not," with a bored look. Although a faint blush spread across her cheeks,.

She looks up to me with mischief. Suddenly, she pokes my chest and yells out, "Your it!" Running down to the beach. I start to run after her, throwing away my napkin on the way.

"I'll get you before you can run too far." I was a good distance away, about 4-5 feet away. Although I'm way faster than her,.

In more ways than one

As I get closer, she screams out, trying to run faster. "I get a hold of her and tackle us both to the ground" is one of the perks of being a football player.

We roll twice before she lands on top. We stared at each other for a minute before bursting out laughing with each other.
