The Actress and the Athlete: A JJ Watt Story [ON HOLD]

Chapter Three

****Ok first off, sorry there's not much JJ and Nicole together in this chapter. Chapter 4 will have loads of these two together! I promise :)****

I began to wake up the next morning from the sun shining through the curtains in my room. I toss over in my bed to observe the clock on the nightstand; it read 6:15. I had two hours until my first project of the day. Today was going to be a packed day; two magazine photoshoots and my aunt, uncle, and my parents were coming in as well. Hell this week was packed with so much stuff to do. I reach for the remote to fully open the curtains and just lay in bed, smiling like a damn fool. Last night was without a doubt one of the best nights I had had in a very long time. I laid there rethinking everything that happened last night, giggling and kicking my feet in the air. I had no clue where JJ and I would go from here, and I didn't care. The hottest player in the NFL wanted me and I wanted him. Right now, that was all that mattered.

Knock, knock. "You decent?" Angie's voice calls from the bedroom door.

"Yea come on in." I yell, as she slowly makes her way in and plops down on my bed, handing me a cup of coffee. I sip slowly, allowing the caffeine to awaken my senses.

"Hazelnut mocha?" I ask.

"Of course." She smiles.

"You're amazing, you know that?"

She smiles. "You're welcome." I turn on the TV and begin to flip through stations. From the corner of my eye, I could see Angie looking at me, as if she was waiting for me to say something.

"Yes? How can I help you?" I laugh.

"You came in awfully late last night. Anything you wanna tell me?" Angie states with a mischievous smile on her face.

I roll my eyes, throwing a pillow at her. "Nope."

"Oh come on, Nicole!" she laughs, throwing the pillow back. "SPILL DAMN IT!"

I smile taking a long, slow sip of my coffee. "Well..." I start to say, but a voice interrupts.

"Girls!" Cara's voice calls from the hall of the hotel room.

"In here Cara!" I yell. Angie angrily looks at me, desperately wanting to know how my night went, but I tell her I will explain later. Unhappy with my answer, she goes into the bathroom, sulking the entire way.

"Hey girls, I'm glad you're already up. Nicole, we got a very busy day today. We got the GQ cover photoshoot in an hour. After that is Women's Health with Eddie, your aunt and uncle come in at noon, so do your mom and dad, we need to get set up for your 'Week Of' video on Friday..."

She continued on about my schedule, but my phone begins to vibrate showing a new text message. It's from JJ.

Good morning :) .

Good morning. I text back. What has you up so early?

Just leaving the gym. I've been up since 4. What about you?

I got a photoshoot with GQ in an hour. Then Women's Health with my trainer and finally DEF LEPPARD!!

Hahaha. I'm guessing you're excited for the concert.

Beyond excited! I've never seen them in concert and I'm gonna perform with them!

That's awesome! So... I can't stop thinking about last night.
