He found himself watching her from where he stood. She laughed at the guys that surrounded her, but every so often her eyes would drift to him. He grinned to himself when he remembered that she belonged to him, just like he belonged to her. With a deep feeling of satisfaction, she broke away from the crowd of men walking gracefully towards him.

"Reggie," she smiled up at him, managing to take his breath away. "Babe, I'm tired. I think I'm going to head home."

No matter how sappy it seemed to his teammates, he pulled her closer not wanting her to leave. "Just a little longer baby girl and I'll drive you home or you can come stay the night with me."

Reggie watched her bite her lip softly, before looking up at him from her long lashes. "I don't have any clothes."

"I have some for you," He grinned leaning down to whisper in her ear, "or you can just sleep without them."

She huffed pushing him back, swatting at him playfully. "Just for that Mantle, I'm going to go home."

He pulled her back, lifting her over his shoulder. "Oh no you don't."

"Reggie!" Her fists hit his back, when he tapped her butt grinning on how firm it was. "Put me down!"

Reggie paid her no mind, instead he turned to his teammates nodding his head to them and walking out with Y/N still on his shoulder. Once he was at his car, he set her down brushing his fingertips against her soft pink cheek. She swatted his hand away, a small pout forming on her lips. He found himself leaning forward, his intent to make her full lips swollen, instead she put her hand over his mouth shaking her head lightly.

"Baby girl..." he whined lowly, but instead of the reaction he was hoping for he received a curt 'no'. Reggie rolled his eyes, opening the door for her. She grinned and internally he fist bumped the sky because he knew how much she liked it when he held the doors open for her. Y/N got in quickly while he jogged around the car, heaving his big figure into the car. He looked over seeing her wrapping herself in his jacket, before moving so that she was pressed into his side.

Reggie swallowed hard, trying to contain himself. Even though she was in a black shirt and his old pajama pants, he wanted to hold her down and never leave the house. There was something about the way she looked in his clothes. It wasn't sexy lingerie that he had seen his past exes wear, but somehow she made something so undesirable, desirable.

He stood from his place on the bed, walking over to her in three strides. He grinned widely when he saw her blush at his naked chest. "I can put a shirt on Y/N, if you feel uncomfortable."

"No," She stuttered and his grin turned into a loving smile. His hands reached out on their own accord, grasping her cheeks into his hands and leaning down to give her a soft kiss. She sighed softly, before she pushed herself closer to him and her hands moving to rest against his torso. Even with something so simple as a touch, it sent waves of electricity running through his body. She pulled back to catch her breath and looked up at him, grinning shyly. "Can we lay down?"

Without a second thought her pulled her towards the bed, laying down first. He held his arms opened ready to hold her against him and not let go. Y/N grinned moving quickly, pushing herself into him resting her head over his heart.

Reggie held her tightly, running his fingers along her back. "Y/N?"

"Mhm," She mumbled tiredly, tracing patterns into his chest.

Reggie paused, unsure if he wanted to tell her the three big words that were on the tip of his tongue. The past six months were absolute bliss for him, she made him feel fireworks every time she brushed against him. Just the mere thought of her being away from him or leaving him, sent waves of sadness rushing throughout his body. He pulled her impossibly closer, inhaling the scent of cinnamon. "Baby, are you still awake?"

It was quiet for a moment and he thought she fell asleep, but she moved so that she could look up at him. "I'm still awake," She yawned, sending a small smile.

He smiled back, stroking her cheek. "Are you going to be able to go to the game this week or-"

"I'll be there to cheer you on. Same seat I'm always in," Y/N soothed, starting to trace shapes into his chest. "Are you still worried about Archie?"

Reggie rolled his eyes, the last thing he wanted to talk about was Andrews. "Why would I be worried about someone as talentless as him?"

She rolled her eyes back at him, moving away so she was sitting up to look down at him. Y/N moved again so that she was straddling his stomach. "Don't forget who you are talking too Reggie. I'm not going to judge you. I know you're an amazing football player and Archie couldn't rival with you."

He moved quickly sitting up so that his chest was pressed against her's. He wrapped his arms around her pressing his forehead to her's. She leaned back pressing a kiss on the tip of his nose. "What does he have that I don't?"

"Not a damn thing Mantle. You work your ass off with your training and if your coach doesn't see that, then he's blind. I know someone will see it," Y/N grasped his chin so he was staring at her. "You're amazing and don't think otherwise."

He tangled his fingers in her H/C hair, crashing his lips to hers. He relished in her soft lips and how her fingers slid through his hair, lightly scratching his scalp. Reggie tried to pull her closer to him, but he realized that she was already pushed up against him.

Y/N pulled back her eyes were still closed and her lips were beautifully swollen from his kiss. Pride surged through him when he realized he was the only one that could see her like this, right there in front of him dressed in his clothes and her lips parted in bliss.

"I love you Y/N," He whispered, pushing her hair away from her face.

Reggie watched in fear when her eyes widened. She blinked a few times before a bright smile was directed at him. "I love you too Reggie."

Y/N moved closer putting her arms over his shoulders, burying her face into his neck. He grinned when he felt her yawn into his shoulder. He moved them so that they were laying down on the bed, "you do realize I'm not letting you go, now that you admitted your love for me."

"Good and don't worry, I won't tell Moose about your soft spot for me. I don't want him to get jealous," She giggled pressing a kiss to his cheek.
