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

Chapter Ten

JJ's POV:

I watched as Nicole walked away with Crys and Angie, unable to get what just happened out of my head. I couldn't believe that she just... Was I hallucinating or did she really just do what I think she did? Did someone see? Who the hell cares if they did!! I wonder what she meant by 'surprise'. God she looks sexy in my jersey, I can't stand it! Ever since the other night, it's getting harder and harder to control myself around her. Every bone in my body was screaming at me to grab her and take her in the locker room. To rip off her clothes and kiss every part of her body...

"Defense!!" I hear Coach Crennel call out, snapping me out of the thought. "Let's Go!!! Warm-Ups!!" I quickly shake off everything that just happened and get into game mode. I needed to get focused. Every so often, I would look up in the direction of the luxury suites, hoping that I would somehow see her face, but it was too far up to see. It didn't matter though; just the fact that she was here, wearing my jersey, ready to cheer me on, that was enough for me.

After warm-ups, me and the rest of the team head back to the locker room to gear up. I was chatting with Brian when he noticed a blonde leaning on the wall next to the locker room door. Shit, I thought to myself.

"Hey man, crazy ex alert." He points over to her.

I roll my eyes and look over to Brian. "What do I gotta do to get this girl to understand we're done?"

He shrugs his shoulders and laughs. "You want me to stay out here with ya?"

"Na I got this. I'll see you inside." With that, Brian heads inside the locker room and I make my over to Victoria.

"What are you doing back here, Victoria?" I ask coldly.

"Well, hello to you too." Her smug smile annoyed the hell out of me.

"What do you want?"

Kicking off the wall, she goes to wrap her arms around me, but I back away. "I wanted to see my pookie bear."

I nearly threw up when she said that. I always hated when she called me that.

"I saw your new play thing." She laughed. "Really J? You leave all of this," she runs her hands up and down her body, "for some Hollywood skank? I mean that bitch had the nerve to try to come at me!"

"Do not call her a bitch or a skank! And she's not my 'play thing', she's my girlfriend."

"Yea ok sure." She responds smugly. "This is just your way of trying to make me jealous. Lucky for you, I'm willing to forgive you and get us back on the right track once you get rid of the skank."

I stare at her in utter shock! Is she serious or has her hair dye finally seeped into her brain?

"I mean, come on!" she says in a seductive tone, moving her arms down to my lower half. "No other girl can satisfy you the way I can, pookie. Do that thing that makes your toes curl..."

"Ok Victoria, let's get one thing straight." I tell her firmly, ripping her hands away from me. "You and me? We're over. We've been over for almost a year now and you need to get over it. I'm with someone now that I truly care about and I have no intention of losing her. I don't want to be with you. Leave me alone."

I don't wait to hear her response and march into the locker room. I walk past everyone, sit in front of my locker, and start getting into my gear. I was starting to get into the zone that I don't even notice Vince, Devon, Duane, and Brian standing behind me.

"Everything good bro?" Vince asks.

"Yep. All good."

"So, Megan just sent me a text." Brian says, sitting down in the locker next to mine.
