Becoming Hers

36

*LEXI'S POV*
Caleb was an anxious mess, he was afraid that if he fucked up on the field that he wouldn't get into a decent college. I was the only one who knew that Caleb hadn't already been offered a secure place for the next four years.

When we found out that Northwood University was still accepting applications, Caleb emailed the sectary in charge of admissions. He hadn't heard back from them yet so he had started to panic.

"Caleb, the game is tomorrow, just go out there and ace it," I commented then sighed as I considered the options he had left.

He wasn't as smart as Gracie or Blake, but his best subject other than physical education and gym was sociology. If there wasn't any sports courses available maybe he could have done just sociology.

"What if I'm not good enough?" He hissed.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I yelled at him in disbelief, "You are like the best player on the team," He grunted at me as he took in my words.

"Then why aren't I captain?" Caleb asked. He was trying to prove a point but his paranoia was getting to him.

"It might have something to do with the fights you get into, your attendance and you know, do you even give a shit about school?" I replied quickly as I already had thought about that a few days previous.

"No not at all," He huffed, "I guess you're right,"

"I am," I grinned at him, "so can we go and eat now?"

"Yeah let's go," He nodded.

We ran down to the basement and found Gracie, Blake and Charlie eating pizza. I swear that was all we did, just eat and get shitfaced. Charlie was half way through eating a slice of barbeque chicken pizza when we entered the room. He grinned at us and Blake chuckled at him. I wandered over to the love seat and jump over the top. Gracie smiled as I sat down beside her. She then passed me a slice of barbeque chicken and meatball pizza along with a kiss that didn't last long enough.

I put my arm around her and she immediately repositioned herself to make it comfortable for the both of us. The love seat was mine and Gracie's usual seat so when I saw her sitting there it made me smile. Caleb put on a movie but I wasn't really watching it.

Gracie was all I could focus on. I loved the way her breathing sounded when she was so close to me. She kept on sneaking a look back at me but looking away immediately. But when Caleb got up to go to the toilet and Blake and Charlie went to get us soda from the kitchen fridge, I was left alone with Gracie.

I hugged her tight which caused her to turn and look at me. She had a smug grin on her face which I so wanted to kiss. She sat up but her body was still pressed against mine.

"The night in the tent was good," She whispered shyly.

"It was pretty good wasn't it?" I replied.

She nodded and gave me a look, as if to say, 'do you want to do it again?' I returned the same look and the corner of her lips twitched upwards and curled into a smile.

I leaned over to kiss her soft lips passionately because I'd wanted to do that since I walked in.

It had started to get kind of heated between us and it was like I'd completely forgotten where I was and that we were even around anyone. But I was soon reminded when Caleb walked into the room.

"Fucking hell, can you two fuck off if you're gonna do that," He muttered then went to get a drink from the fridge.

We sat up immediately and Gracie pretended to watch the movie again but I was glaring at Caleb. How dare he interrupt that?
