The Other Gronkowski

Chapter 8

"Thanks for the great game babe" I said, kissing his cheek.

The car ride back I talked the whole time about how great the game was. I think I really like Julian. He is just a great guy. And he is super hot, which is always a plus.

As we pulled up to me and Rob's house I remembered I couldn't tell Rob about this because he would kill Julian. It might be hard at first, Rob and I tell eachother everything.

"I'll see you at practice bright and early tomorrow morning beautiful" Julian said as he leaned over to kiss me goodnight. As our lips met my phone went off.

The kiss was short but perfect. I pulled away to see a text from Rob asking if I was still ok. He honestly worries way too much.

"Sorry Jules I really need to go now" I said going to open the door.

"Bye shorty. I guess we have to save the rest for later." he said winking as I got out of the car.

I walked into our house and straight to the kitchen, where I found Rob waiting for me to come home. He was sitting bouncing his legs, like he always does when he gets nervous.

As he noticed me walking into the room he immediately got up and hugged me.

"Did you have a good night? Because you were out for a while and really started to worry me" Rob asked.

"Yes I'm fine. You would know if something was wrong anyway Rob. You always do." I replied punching his shoulder.

I ran upstairs to put on my pajamas (Patriots version of course), and when I came down stairs I found Rob on the couch (watching Sportscenter of course).

I plopped down on the couch to fall asleep to the TV. Whenever I fall asleep on the couch, Rob always carries me up to my room, like a good brother would do.

"Hey sis one question before you fall asleep"

"Shoot" I replied sitting up

"Why were you at the Celtics game with Julian Edelman?" Rob asked raising his voice a bit.

Oh shoot he has figured it out. There goes my chances with Julian. Rob is gonna kill him and I will be stalked by Rob 24/7 to make sure I am ok.

"Oh well he asked me if I wanted to go to the celtics game and I said yes. Don't worry, we are just friends." I responded, trying to sound as convincing as possible.

"So why is there a picture floating around Instagram of him with his arm around you?" Rob questioned, testing to see if my story was real.

"Rob stop worrying. There was just this guy that kept hitting on me so Julian put his arm around me so the creep would leave me alone. There is honestly nothing." I assured him

"Ok, I believe you for now Jackie. But just be careful Julian can be a jerk sometimes." Rob said dropping the subject.

Lucky for me Rob can be so dumb sometimes, that is how I get away with stuff. He is just way to protective.

I scrolled through my phone one more time, and found some pictures of me and Julian. It is kinda creepy, but the pictures are really cute. Hopefully we can have some fun at practice tomorrow.

With a smile on my face and the thoughts of Julian in my head, I fell asleep to the sound of Sportscenter predicting how good we will be this year.
