The Guy Named Harrison: Book Two

"Can you guys not?"

Todd came around the couch. "You guys do remember I was coming right?" He whispered to himself.

Then he muttered, "that's disgusting."

He now stood just in front of the couch where his sister was clearly making out with her husband. And it didn't seem like they had any idea he was here.

Todd crossed his arms over his chest and kicked the bottom of the couch, scaring them both. Carrie sat up from Harrison's lap and looked up at Todd.

"Really?"

"Really!? You guys are the ones that said I could come over!"

"You could've knocked!"

"It's not like I asked you guys to stop."

Harrison sat up. "It's our house, we can do what we want," he said with a smile.

Carrie started laughing as Todd looked even more frustrated. He turned to Harrison. "You punk, you better watch it, because I'm going to be watching you."

The two of them laughed even harder at his attempts to threaten Harrison. He stood up. "Punk? Who you calling a punk?"

Harrison had to look down at Todd, who looked a little scared now. He was going to have some fun with Todd after he stormed in during his and Carrie's private time.

He took a step forward, and Todd immediately backed up. Then Harrison grabbed him and tackled him onto the other couch. "I'm a punk huh?"

Harrison had Todd pinned. Todd wasn't going to expect any help from his sister anytime soon, as she sat on the couch and laughed at the two of them and their horseplay.

"You better watch your back," he teased with a smile. "You better not go around calling me a punk ever again. Are we clear?"

Todd smiled. "Yes."

Harrison let him go. "Punk."

Carrie came downstairs with Riley to see Todd and Harrison on the couch watching film. "Kurt's coming back in two weeks. What am I going to do?"

Harrison handed Todd his iPad. "Here's a safety to emulate, Troy Polamalu. He played for the Steelers. I think his style of play is something for you to emulate. He was a hell of a player for being one of the smaller guys. He played hard every play and he was aggressive. I think you need to be more aggressive. You have to get physical with these receivers."

He continued. "I looked through film like you asked me to, and I think watching film on Polamalu is going to help you. Watch how he's on his receivers, and notice that he doesn't defend every pass and swat it away, but he's there to make the tackle."

"Okay."

While Todd was watching film, Carrie sat beside Harrison with Riley. He immediately reached for his daughter. "Hey sweetie! How's my girl?"

Riley smiled seeing her daddy smiling back at her. With Riley now sitting on his chest and Carrie supporting her, Harrison took both of her hands and ran them down the light stubble of his beard.

She started to giggle and he did it again. "That tickles doesn't it Riley?"
