Just A Small Break

Chapter 3

"So Oscar Thompson, 23 years old and is wow.." I took my phone out of his hand and looked at the screen ".. famous football player of Pennsylvania" I whispered softly.

I didn't expect that! He was my first big crush, I'm talking about a BIG crush! The first one I was sexually attracted to and thought was in love with. I was 16 at that time and there was a ..connection. Okay everybody says that but there was, there really was or at least I hoped so.

He was a popular football player but not the cliché type. There were no girls lusting after him, only boys admired him for his talent and no he was not the team captain. They didn't really have one to be exact. The coach preferred equality which meant no team captain whatsoever.

He was 18 and a senior and he had a girlfriend. It started at a football game, he didn't play because of an injury he had so we were both part of the audience. He was sitting 8 feet next to me but every damn time I looked at him I saw him looking at me and I guess you can call it the looking game , don't know how else to explain it but we kept looking at each other for the entire game.

Yea and shit went down. I started to form a big crush and day dreamt everyday about him and that looking shit kept going for one entire year.
I was too shy to smile at him or talk to him and well he had a girlfriend so what was I going to do?

He graduated and I've never seen him again. Not once.
I stopped stalking him on social media and he stayed a daydream.
But oh lord famous football player? How did I not hear of that?

"Your first crush is now a football player?" Jessica yawned while she scratched her back.
"Apparently" I said "but how am I going to get to him?"

"Just text him! If there really was something I bet he'd remember it." Jacob took my phone back in his hands and started typing.

I tried getting the phone out his grip "What are you doing?"
He didn't budge and continued to type.
When I finally got the phone out of his hands I looked down at the screen and he already hit sent.

"Are you stupid? You're ruining this!" I yelled at him but he just gave me an amusing look.

*Swoosh*

"What did he write back?"

I quickly tapped on the screen and read what Jacob wrote.

'Hi! Wanna hang out?'
read 8:01

"Sounds cool!"

I threw the phone at him. Why the hell would Jacob write that and why the freaking hell did that work.

"Works every time!" Jacob laughed and I was still astonished.
Jessica took the phone and read.

"Jacob, what the fûck! Why did that just work?" I scratched my forehead and jumped on the bed.

"Boys wanna fuck 24/7 and they'll take every occasion they get. I just made it really easy for him." Jacob explained.

I don't understand boys.

"What do I say next?" I nervously said.
"Just ask him when and where! You should thank me for that. I bet you'd have made that 100% more awkward than it is now."

Jessica gave me the phone and I started typing.

' When do you have time?'

The reply came even faster than I thought.

'Saturday, 8 pm at Josy's Burger Palace?'

'Works for me'

'See you then ;)'
