His True Love

Chapter Two: Need to find him

Dak

"Dude, did you see that guys dimples?" One of my teammates, Jay, asks me. Like I wasn't just checking the guy out. His dimples were h-o-t! I mean seriously who has dimples like that?!

I watch the guy leave me just standing there, can't say that happens often. As the captain and quarterback of the football team people want my attention - girl or guy. The girls try to change me and the guys just want to hang out.

Everyone knows I am attracted to guys, I don't keep it a secret. Doesn't bother my team. They respect me and my choices, I also never hit on them so that helps. It's not that they aren't good looking, they just really aren't my type. I like the strong, silent type. Like that guy I just met, who I can't believe I didn't meet until now and he didn't give me his name. What the hell!

"Anyone know who the guy was?" I ask the group around me.

Shaking their heads no, no one seems to knows him. I got to find out who he is and how I can see him again. Touching his hand was like a shock straight to my heart. He is something special, I know it.

"Someone find out who he is for me, yeah?" Chandler shakes his head as confirmation he's got it. Chandler is a quiet guy, tends to keep to himself. As my lineman he is one of my closest friends. I trust him - he is the man who guards me with his body after all. I have to trust him to protect me on the field which means I trust him off the field too.

"I think he might be in one of my classes." Chandler replies.

"What class, man?"

"I'm pretty sure he is in my graphics class. He sits in the back watching everything but doesn't interact with anyone. Seems like a shy guy. You sure you want to chase him?" He asks. The guy is good, he knows I want that guy.

That guy is mine, even if he doesn't know it yet.

"Alright guys let's head to the gym. I'm sure we can get a few hours in before practice this evening." We gather our gear and head to the gym. As we walk I can't help but look for my mystery guy. Looking at every guy that walks by, I don't want to miss him.

I don't see him the whole walk to the gym. Alright Dimples, I'll let you hide now, soon you won't be able to.

After a great workout and a shower, we head to the quad so we can grab some dinner. I'm still keeping my eyes open for mystery guy, but I haven't seen him yet. I take the long way to see if he is by the tree. I'm thinking that it's a usual hangout for him. I'll have to make sure to frequently walk by it more often now.

As I continue to look for him, Chandler jogs up to me. "Hey, mystery guy is in my graphics class. His name is Elliott. He is super shy but mouthy if you ask him too many questions."

I smile. Yeah I got something for that mouth of his. "Thanks Chan. I appreciate the help and the tip. Now I just need to run into him again."

"I may have asked him to come tutor me tonight." Chandler states. I just look at him. I didn't know he needed tutoring.

"Dude, you need tutoring?"

"Um, no. I thought you wanted to meet him or talk to him again and what better way then to get him to come to the house? He seems like he likes to help people, so I thought it was a good idea."

I just look at Chandler, this man has got my back! Slapping him on the back with a huge smile on my face, I reply "Chan, if you swung my way I'd kiss you right now!" This is brilliant. I get to see my Dimples again and all in the same day. Of course waiting isn't my strong point so this is going to be a tortuous wait. Hopefully football practice goes fast.

"When is he headed over?"

"I told him after practice, so 8 pm."

Shit, this is seriously going to be a wait from hell! Good thing there is something to do while I wait to occupy my time. First, fuel. I need to get some food in me so I can keep up with coach at practice.

As we get to the cafe, I open the door and smile at everyone who greets me. It's like mini-celeb status when I walk into places. At first it was weird but then you get used to it after awhile. I grab my usual, hamburger, sweet potato fries, salad, and chocolate milkshake extra protein. Sitting with my team we shoot the shit and talk about practice and the upcoming game. Some of their girls hang out with us, but mostly it's just us guys. We are a pretty tight nit group. Chan, Nick, Jay, Ray, and Michael make up the offensive line, Rafe, Andre', Dashawn and myself finish up the group.

Once I finish, I stand up to head to practice with the guys all with me. We head to the locker room and change into our pads and uniforms. As I change I can't help but think in just a couple of hours I get to see Elliott again. I'm fucking happy about that!

Let's get this practice going to so I can get home for him.
