Meant To Be

Chapter 5

Hey guys! Here's chapter 5! Enjoy!

Luke’s POV

          I woke up bright and early for football practice. We had to be on the field at 7AM sharp or else suicides, and I sure as hell didn’t care for those. I was still a little tired from going to bed so late but I wouldn’t have changed it. Daf’s lips on mine were nothing to regret. She actually made me fall asleep dreaming about her and those luscious lips. Although in my dream we’d gone a little farther… Oh well. I knew I had to be patient. She was so worth the wait. I drove to the school and got changed in the locker room. Coach was in his office talking to a guy I’d never seen before. He was tall and pretty bulky from what I could see. It looked like he could play. I sat down on the bench waiting for coach to send us to the field. He came out with the new guy and gave him equipment and a locker next to mine. So this is the new running back that Coach had been talking about. Coach went up in front of us and said, “Ok team, we have a long morning practice ahead. I just wanted to introduce you guys to our new running back, Julian Carter. He’ll be joining the team from California. He helped lead his team last year to State so we’re lucky to have him.”

 The guy sat next to me and gave me a head nod. I shook his hand. “Julian,” he whispered. “Luke,” I replied. Coach finished telling us a new play and we headed out to the field. We ran some warm-up drills then some new plays. Julian was really good. I kept my head in the game until the sun was shining quite brightly. I thought about how Daf’s hair glowed in the sun and how her skin was so soft. Suddenly I was sacked. That hurt. A lot. Damn my shoulder was gonna get a bruise. Daf always fusses over me when I get hurt. Maybe it was a good thing. I shook it off and ended practice on a good note, my mind still dazing off to her as I walked over to the locker room. I took a long hot shower to relax my muscles. When I got everyone had already left. I quickly got dressed realizing it was 2:30. I ran to the parking lot to see Julian’s arm around Daf as they sat on the hood of her car. I let out a rugged breath. ‘HELL NO!’ My brain screamed and I walked over nonchalantly to them, trying to internally calm my jealous side down.

Daf’s POV

The new guy was really funny. He had me giggling so much. Did I mention he was hot? I mean his body was great, but he was a little too bulky for me. Luke was like the perfect size for my taste. No guy could compare to him anymore. Julian talked to me like nothing, well flirted with me shamelessly even though I told him I was waiting for Luke. I checked my phone. Damn it was past 2:30. I pulled in around 2:00 waiting for Luke hoping to surprise him. I even went to pick up his trunks at his house so we could head straight to the pool. I finally saw his head peek out from the locker room and my heart went into a small frenzy. It was beating so fast I thought that I could almost hear it. My eyes met his and they looked jealous pissed off. OMG that was so damn hot! I smiled even bigger.  He got to us then picked me up completely ignoring Julian and roughly crashed his lips to mine. I smiled against his lips and said, “Hello to you too.” He laughed at that then his smile vanished when he looked over at Julian who was still raking his eyes over my body. Luke cleared his throat.

“Julian, this is my girlfriend Daphne.”

Julian looked confident. “Yea I just met Daffy here.” Wth? Since when am I ‘Daffy’? Luke looked so pissed. “She’s quite a beauty. Too bad she’s taken,” and Julian smiled at me. Is he stupid? Someone’s a little too confident.

“Yes she is. MY beautiful girlfriend.” I smiled. ‘Thanks Babe!’ I shouted inside.

Julian just laughed, “I get it man. Hands off.” With that he walked over to his 2011 Black Ford F-150. Before his door slammed I heard, “See you around Daffy!”

I looked in his direction and he was smiling from the safety of his truck’s cab. I looked back at Luke who was looking at me with hard eyes. I laughed at his expression. Damn he was adorable when he was jealous. Why was he so serious? From my position on the car I wrapped my legs around his waist and pulled him closer to me. He effortlessly picked me up. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. I kissed my way to his ear then slid my tongue over the edge. His grip around me tightened. Did he like that? I smiled and whispered seductively in his ear, “Ready to see me in a bikini?”
