Girls Dont Play Football

Chapter Four: Jumping Out of the Frying Pan and into the Oven

I woke up to Glenn's soft breathing. That was always the best part of waking up. I hate coffee so waking up in Glenn's arms were the best. I slowly reached up and played with his goatee. "Please stop that." Glenn said without opening his eyes. I didn't listen and kept messing with him. Glenn picked me up, threw me on the other side of the bed then got on top of me. I laughed as Glenn tickled me. We stopped when Glenn's stomach started rumbling. "Your turn to make breakfast." Glenn reminded me.

I pushed him off of me then left the room. I'm not as good as chief Ramsey but I know my way around a kitchen. I quickly fixed him some pancakes, an omelet, and some hash browns. When I was done cooking and everything was on the table I rushed upstairs to Glenn. We were surprised when we got back. "Simone, this is amazing. Next time dont put any mushrooms in the omelet please." I stared at Whitney in shock and Glenn glared at her. "Calm down! You can have the pancakes. They make me gag." Whitney smiled.

"I got something for you to gag on." Glenn mumbled while sitting down across from Whitney. I kissed his forehead and went back to cooking. "Enjoy your breakfast Whitney." He got up and hugged me from behind. "Atleast I have a perfect woman that can cook and loves me." I kissed his cheek and went back to cooking.

"Then why dont you marry her already?" Whitney asked while drinking from her glass of milk. I laughed and Glenn glared at me. "Now sit your ass down while she makes your food. Heres the pancakes." Whit slid the plate to the other side of the table. Glenn slowly sat down and poured some maple syrup on them. I placed a bowl of fruit in the middle of the table. When I was done cooking for Glenn I poured a bowl of cereal and ate it.

After we ate and got cleaned up we decided to go to Walmart since there was no football practice and there was something Whitney 'needed'. "Whitney, this is ridiculous!" I yelled as she pulled me down the aisle like a child would their parent. "You don't even know how to ride it!" I watched as Whitney began her search for the item. Glenn left us a long time ago.

"I can too ride it!" Whitney yelled as she pulled out a longboard. "Just watch me." She threw down the board, put one foot on, then pushed. She didnt go far until the board stopped and Whitney fell flat on her face. "They have the damn plastic on the wheel." She got up and massaged her head. "It's either this or a bike." I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes. Not this again.

Thats when Glenn came back riding a pink Barbie bike. "Not that kind of bike." Glenn lowered his head and rode away. I quickly took a picture and laughed. A 245 pound football player riding a little girls bike, priceless. "Anyways.... I want a hog! No matter which one I get, I'm going cruising. Longboard or bike. Your choice Simone." Whitney and I had a stare down. Bitch, why do you do this shit to me?

"You still don't know how to ride it." I mumbled. Whit just blew me a kiss and tried to ride to the car. Key word, tried. "Give me that!" I yanked the board out of her hand then jumped on. "Maybe we should get you a helmet." Whit stuck her tongue out at me and followed me to the car. "It's ok baby, you'll learn one day." I laughed as I got in the passenger seat, Glenn got in the driver's seat, and Whitney got in the back.

Whitney evilly smiled at me. "You asked for this." She grabbed my arms and pulled me to the back seat. Although I exercise more than her she's always been stronger than me. When she got me in the back seat with her, Whitney started to tickle me while biting my neck.

I tried to fight back but all I could do was laugh and yell at Glenn to help me. He really took his time to pull over and save me. Whitney stopped tickling me so we could watch Glenn take off his seat belt, take off his sun glasses, put them away, sigh, then turn to us. "Really nigga? You had to do all that?!" Whitney asked.

I laughed until I looked out of the window. "Glenn!" I yelled but was too late. Glenn quickly turned to see what I was yelling about then jumped to the back seat with us and protected us with his body. The car impact knocked us around like coins in a piggy bank. I heard glass shatter and Whitney screaming until all I heard was a high pitch.

"Whitney. Glenn? Are you ok?" I asked but it sounded like I was whispering. I passed out for a little while but it only felt like I blinked. It was like the whole car was being pulled apart in front of me. People were yelling and moving around but I could barely see and hear them. I'm not dead..... Am I? If I'm dead I'm gonna be pissed! I felt the firemen pull me out of the car but I didn't move. I couldn't move.

What happened? Wait, I remember. That car was coming in pretty fast. I wonder what happened to the driver. As I was being pulled out of the car I didn't see Glenn or Whitney but I saw the cars and it scared me. Our car was on its side and all the windows were shattered. I saw the driver's body on the hood of our car. His body went through the window. The paramedics placed me on a stretcher. I tried to say Glenn's name but all I could do was whisper.

One of the paramedics heard me. "Wait, are you Simone?" One of them asked. "Blink once for yes and twice for no." I blinked once. "Don't worry. Your friend and boyfriend are alright, In fact, he's asking about you so stay with us." I felt all the worry lift off of me. Smiling, I slowly closed my eyes and passed out.
