Coach Krzyzewski's Granddaughter

17| You Look Nice

   "You did what?!" Hanna yells.

   I clap my hand over her mouth. "Keep ir down! I don't want any of the guys to know." I follow her into Cameron and we sit on the bleachers.

   "I think they already do..."

   I didn't notice that they were all whistling and oohing. I see Grayson looking over with a smile, and I glare at him. And honestly, I feel a little bad when I see Brennan staring down at the basketball in his hands.

   "They're in love again!" Jack yells.

   I roll my eyes and turn away from them, but the noise continues. Thankfully, grandpa must've walked in, because they all quiet down.

Like usual, Hanna crushes over Antonio the whole time, and I stare at Grayson. And during the few hours of practice, I devised a plan to make Grayson jealous.

Hanna doesn't agree with it, but heads to our apartment without stopping me. While I head to Brennan's place.

He opens the door, sees me, and immediately starts closing the door, but my tiny body fits through before it closes. "The rumor is not true." I tell him.

He raises his eyebrows. "It isn't?"

"I swear. I didn't sleep with Grayson, I would never after we just broke up. Especially since I have a new crush now."

Brennan's shoulders sag. "Oh."

"I mean you, Brennan." I let out a laugh as I lie. "That mini makeout wasn't for nothing... at least, I hope."

I may not get main roles in any musicals, but I can still act.

He smiles. "I hope, too,"

"Do you want to go on a date with me tonight?" I ask.

His smile grows, and I can feel my stomach clench. When he finds out the truth, he's going to be heart broken. "I would love that, actually. I'm free tonight at 7:30. I can cook us something."

"Sounds lovely." I kiss his cheek, making his cheeks red. "See you then." I give him a wink then walk out.

What have I gotten myself into?

*****

I decide on a romper which is casual, but grandpa probably wouldn't approve of. Hanna curls my hair as I apply my makeup, then I slip on some sandals.

"Time to make Grayson jealous." I say, grabbing my phone.

"And to make Brennan happy, then break his heart." Hanna argues.

"If you stop complaining, I'll definitely hook you and Tony up."

Hanna giggles. "Okay, Sorry!"

I roll my eyes with a laugh, then walk out. Of course, halfway there, I run into Grayson.

"You look nice." He says.

"I know. I'm going to Brennan's place."

"Of course you are." He mutters, then walks past me. I want to grab his hand, then him around, and kiss him, but I need to slowly work my way up the ladder.

A minute later, I'm face to face with Brennan, who's looking quite handsome in his ensemble. He's wearing a light purple button up shirt, dark wash jeans, basketball shoes (typical), and his hair is slicked back. Thankfully, it shows that he has shaved, too.

"You look beautiful," He says, bringing a smile to my face.

"And you look quite handsome."

Brennan smiles widely and takes my hand, pulling me inside, then closing the door behind me. He leads me into the kitchen, where he has a plate of cheese pizza and donuts, making my jaw drop and eye him suspiciously.

"How'd you know?"

"Coach told me," Brennan explains, sliding a slice of pizza onto a plate and giving it to me. "He also told me that if I step out of line, I'm off the team."

I laugh. "Of course he did."

"And I told him that I would never hurt you on purpose."

I smile, and feel butterflies in my tomach. Uh oh... he's getting to me.

We talk and laugh the next two hours, and honestly, I didn't know he was this cool.

Or... charming. And handsome. And sweet. And funny. And smart. And kind.

And in love with me.

"I've had a crush on you since I walked in those doors on our first practice. I was very jealous when I learned Grayson had already snatched you up."

I stay silent, blushing and embarrassed about his confession.

"But now," Brennan steps towards me, placing a tot of my hair behind my ear. "You're all mine."

I immediately kiss him and start running my hands through his hair. He slips his hands under my thighs and picks me up, not breaking apart our lips as he walks. I can feel him setting me down on the bed, then he pushes me down to the headboard.

"Someone... is excited..." I mutter whenever I get a breath.

"I'm always excited for you." He says quickly, and without realizing what I'm doing, I unbutton his jeans.

Sorryyyy this one is super short. I've been busy with work all weekend and wanted to get one out quickly.
