Falling For The Coaches Daughter

Chapter four: Practice time!

As the last bell rang I slowly got up. I was dreading going to my dad's practice. He always tells them the one rule that could get then benched for the rest of the season. That is me. I'm off limits. I see all the jocks coming into the field. All of the sudden I see Josh and I'm thinking no way he is here for me? But oh no. He is a football player! Why didn't I pick up on this? The only guy I like is off limits! This cannot be happening. I sit there frozen in my seat.

"I see you're boyfriend!"

"Stop."

"What's wrong?"

"You know my dads rule?"

"Yeah?"

"It didn't bother me until now."

"If Josh is on the football team, that means you can't date him! I'm sorry!"

"Me too."

"LISTEN UP BOYS! IF ANY OF YOU DATE MY DAUGHTER YOU WILL BE BENCHED FOR THE SEASON. GOT IT?"

I turn bright red. Josh raises his hand confused.

"Yes?"

"Whose your daughter?"

"Sorry. She is the one sitting right there on the bench. The blond one. Don't even talk to her. Am I clear?"

"Yes coach!!!"

"I really liked her though."

"Maybe she's down to be with you in secret."

"Alright. Everyone warm up! Laps around the field now!"

Practice was finally over. I see Josh leaning against the fence. I think he was waiting on Jesse or something.

"Hey. So you are the coaches daughter. Didn't think to mention that?"

"You are on the football team. Didn't think to mention that?"

"Point taken."

"Okay, I'll see you later."

"Wait. Can I get your number?"

"Sure. Phone?"

"Here."

I put my number in his phone and then I call my phone so I have his number. He smiles as I give him his phone back. He's so sweet, I wanna see where this goes.
We each wave good bye. I stand there for a minute thinking. Could I actually go against my dad. I've never done anything wrong before. Never had sex, did drugs or drank. Never stayed out all night. I never went to a party, always obeyed my curfew and I never snuck out. I'm supposed to be a reckless daughter. I mean you only live once right? I snap out of my thoughts when I hear my dad calling me.

"What took you so long. I was yelling your name for five minutes."

"Sorry, I got distracted."

"Please don't say it was a boy. I'd rather you stay away until you are fifty."

"Come on dad. Chill."

I arrived home to see my mom sleep on the couch. Dinner was already ready. I went upstairs to see my brother sleep on the bed. He sleep though school. Wow what a loser. I decided to take me a quick shower. I got out and put my pjs on. I heard my phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey it's Josh. What are you doing?"

"Nothing, just got out of the shower."

"Oh me too. Look I called because uhm..actually I don't know why I called. I guess I just wanted to hear your voice."

"That's so sweet."

"Are you doing anything this weekend. Maybe we could hang out?"

"If you are trying to ask me out you know that can't happen right?"

"I just thought we could keep it between me and you."

"You mean lie? And date behind my dad's back?"

"Yeah. Are you down?"

"Hell no! I can't."

I hang up before he could say anything. I jump on my bed and scream into my pillow. I would date him behind my dad's back but I can't! I'm to chicken and I know I'd get caught! I look down to see a text message. It's from Josh.

I'm sorry! We can just be friends!

Bye Josh I text back.

I decide not to eat. I'm to stressed to even think about food. I think it's better if I don't talk to Josh at all. That way I'm not tempted to jump his bones. I drift off to sleep thinking about Josh's lips and how wonderful it would be to kiss them.
