Touchdown

Chapter Two

Kyle's POV
It feel so good being out of college, especially since I got drafted into the NFL. I am starting tight-end for the Atlanta Falcons. Awesome right? College life was pretty good too. I mean my roommate and I were best friends but he always hung out with his high school friends. I didn't mind much. I was always playing football. I didnt really have friends on the team but I was one of the best according to coach. Graduation day was the best part, getting a diploma from the University of Kentucky was a big deal. I'm the first person in my family to graduate college. It's exciting, now I'm driving down to Atlanta to my new apartment. Our first practice is tomorrow, I have time to relax a little. But I'm really excited, I don't know if I'll be able to.

"You're the one I want, you're the one I need. If I were a king, you would be my queen." I sing to the song that plays out through my headphones.
"Hey. Kyle right?" A man behind me says.
"Yeah that's me." I stand to shake his hand.
"Well I'm Robert Stuffe. I'm your agent." Wow, an agent? Talk about being big in a small world.
"Woah, that's incredible. What do you do exactly? As my agent that is?" He puts his phone in the pocket of his suit. Silk?
"Basically I make most of the decisions that could affect your image as an Atlanta Falcons player. Such as interviews, television publicity, girlfriends." He gives me mischievous grin.
"What?" I ask him.
"It's just that, I already planned that part."
"The girlfriend part?"
"Oh of course! Summer could you come in here please?" He calls out into the hall. Then this long legged model walks in. Perfect form, hair, makeup. She's gorgeous but probably really shallow.
"Woah." I didn't mean to say that, it just came out.
"Kyle White, meet Summer Dallas." She holds a hand and I shake it.
"Looks like I'll be your girlfriend. I've been set up with many Falcons players, but you may be my best yet. I think I would date you even if we didn't  have to." She brushes her fingers across my shoulder.
"Uh, yeah. Ok." My jaw hasn't come off the floor.
"Also I have made reservations for you two tomorrow at Little Italy."
"Thanks Rob." Summer gives him a smile then turns to me. "And I'll see you tomorrow..." She leans in and kisses my cheek before strutting out of the room.
"So you like her?" Robert says grinning.
"Well...um, she's pretty."
"She better be! She won Miss California four years in a row!"
"Oh wow."
"Well it doesn't matter if you like her, you're dating her."
"Whatever you say..."
"Ok tomorrow you have practice then afterwards I booked you a press conference."
"Did you decide a time for me to use the bathroom too?" I let out a small laugh.
"7:30 to 7:32 after practice." Well...I asked.
"Ok well I'm going to go to sleep, so...bye." While pushing Robert out the door I think he mutters a goodbye. Whatever. I want to sleep.

BUZZ BUZZ
Who would call me at 3 in the morning? I, being half dead, answer the phone.
"Mwhatf?"
"Hey man! It's me, Landan." Why would he call me at 3 in the morning?
"Oh, hey Landan." In order to stay awake long enough to talk to him I probably should get out of bed.
"So I heard you signed with the Falcons, nice. Meanwhile I'm here in a different part of Georgia getting a masters."
"Ok?"
"Well I wanted to ask, when can you come visit? There's this new bakery I want you to come to. It's really good?"
"Look man, as much as I want to, I'm not available for another three weeks."
"Oh. That's ok. We'll meet up. I better go or my roommate will throw me out in the hall."
"Ok I'll talk to you soon."
"You got it, alright bye."
"Bye." Man what a day. I get an agent, a beauty pageant girlfriend, and a phone call from my best friend.

"LINE UP!" Yells Coach. "Alright before conditioning I want to introduce your new tight end, Kyle White." Everyone looks at me and gives a slight effort to applaud. "ALRIGHT CONDITIONING! GO!" Coach yells.
+++
Practice was so exhausting I just want to go home, and lie on my bed. I sit in the locker room waiting for a shower to open up when my phone rings.
"Yo?" My casual greeting, not too much. Very natural.
"Kyle are you out of practice?" Robert answered.
"Yeah I'm waiting for a shower."
"Well take all your pads off and get deodorant because there's no time for a shower."
"But–"
"No buts," he interrupts. "A car will be there in five minutes."
"Alright." I hang up on him before I lose the right to eat my Slim Jim.
+++
"We will now begin the Q&A." Robert says into the microphone before walking off stage. I lean on the podium to say something.
"Um, who has a question?" Suddenly dozens of reporters started calling my name. "You." I pointed to a man in a blue shirt.
"What's it like to make it to the pros and become a starter your first season?" I have to think about it for minute, everything's happened so fast I don't know.
"Well, it has been a dream of mine to play pro. And I worked my butt of trying to get here. So right now everything is so surreal I just don't know what to say other than that I'm blessed."
"Thank you." He says back. The reporters start shouting again. I always have felt bad for the people in the shadows so when I see a hand poking out from everyone, I want to answer their question.
"You in the back." I don't see his face, but I hear his voice.
"Why did you and Bailey Peters break up?" He asks which greatly shocks me. I haven't even thought about Bailey this whole time. We broke up because we moved so far apart and never saw each other.
"What? Who are you?" The crowd of reporters part down the middle revealing the guy who asked the question.
"Hey dude." He smiles.
"Brett."
