Sam's POV:

"Good morning." I heard Logan whisper beside me.

"Good morning." I replied, looking down at her, smiling back at her.

"What are we doing today?" She asked, cuddling in closer to me. I rubbed my fingertips up and down her back underneath my shirt.

"Well, I figured we could go out for breakfast, first. Then, since it's Saturday, Nate is having some people over for the Nebraska game. I think the Jacks have studio time so we can go meet them there after you and I have dinner together." I said, causing her to smile brightly.

"Sounds absolutely perfect." She said, getting up.

I sat up and watched as she looked through her suitcase for something to wear.

"Why don't you hang your stuff in my closet?" I asked.

"Well, I was gonna take it to Nate's but I haven't gotten around to it." She shrugged.

"Actually, I was gonna ask if you'd want to stay here? It gets pretty boring around here without you and I don't see us spending any nights apart any time soon." I rambled on.

She stood up straight and smiled at me, nodding her head.

I got up, kissing her before looking through my closet to find something to wear as well.

After I got dressed, I sat back in my bed, scrolling through social media as Logan did her hair and makeup.

"You ready, gorgeous?" I asked when she finally walked out if the bathroom. She wore a grey Nebraska football hoodie and jeans shorts, looking damn fine as usual.

"Yep." She said, grabbing her phone and bag and we made our way out of the apartment to the destination of our breakfast date.

Logan and I walked into Skate's house, carrying wings, pizza, beer, dr. pepper for Logan, and chips.

"This is why you're my best friend." Skate said, taking what was in Logan's hands and kissing the top of her head.

Logan smiled and sat down on the couch next to Johnson and I sat on the other side of her.

It was all the guys, Skate's brother, and a couple girls. Which included Madison.

"Don't start anything." I said sternly to Logan.

She put her hands up in defense and took one of the containers of wings into her lap. She opened up a bottle of beer and took a drink.

"Thought you didn't drink?" I asked, considering I was told multiple times that she doesn't.

"It's football, Wilkinson." She shrugged as did I.

"You guys see game 7 of the World Series the other night?" Stew, Skate's brother, asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah, wasn't surprised that Cleveland blew that 3-1 lead." Logan chuckled.

I'll tell you what, that is one of the sexiest things. When a girl knows her sports. Lord, have mercy on my soul. One of the biggest turn ons.

"How's your brother been?" Stew asked Logan.

"He's good." Logan nodded, taking another drink from her bottle.

As the game started and we all got into it, well most of us. The other girls seemed to be completely uninterested. Typical.

"Bullshit!" Logan and Swazz both yelled at the same time after one of the refs made a shitty call.

"He was clearly holding!" Logan yelled again and sat back down.

I put my arm around her, rubbing her side before grabbing a handful of chips and shoveling them into my mouth.

I watched as Nebraska's wide receiver completed a twenty yard pass for a touchdown.

We all stood cheering, well, besides the other girls.

Logan high-fived Johnson and Gilinsky before wrapping an arm around me.

"I don't get it." Madison said. The other girls, who I hadn't cared to catch the names of, seemed to agree.

"It's football, Madison." Johnson said.

"Yeah, well, it's boring and it sucks. I don't even want to be here anymore." She scoffed.

"Then leave." Gilinsky said, seeming to have snapped.

Oh shit.

"Fine. I will." She said and got up and left.

"Bro, what was that about?" Skate asked.

"Nothing, man. She's just been a real bitch lately." Gilinsky sighed.

"She's always a real bitch." Logan said but, only Johnson and I heard. That was probably for the best.

I looked at the selfie that Logan took of us and had sent to me. I decided I wanted to put it on Instagram.

We haven't made our relationship "public" yet but, it's too cute not to post.

'Huskers got the W and so did I'

I got a notification; @loganpederson commented on your photo!

'I'm the real winner here'

"Yo, Wilk! You guys gonna come to the studio with us?" Kyle asked.

"Yeah, Logan and I are gonna eat dinner later then, we'll meet you there."

"Sounds good. The Jacks and I are gonna head over now, put a little extra time in." He said before they walked out the door.

"Log, I want you to go back to my place and get all dolled up. Super fancy." I said, handing her my keys. "I'm gonna get ready here. I'll have one of the guys drop me off at seven."

She nodded, smiling brightly. She kissed my cheek before hurrying out the door.

"Swazz, you got stuff I can borrow?" I asked, looking at him on the couch.

He nodded, mouth full of pizza and giving me a thumbs up.

"Thanks, bro. I owe you one." I said, then going to the bathroom to shower.
