Through the Wire. [Lamar Jackson Fanfiction]

IV.

      June 2018
For the next couple weeks, we had continued to prepare for the move that now, was only a few days away. With the help of head coach, John Harbaugh, and some team officials, Lamar was able to find a townhome fifteen minutes from the training facility. And although I hadn't been there to see the house, he assured me that it was a great home and was in our budget. Lamar was on his way home from Maryland, and he promised that he had a surprise waiting for me.
He should be here any minute.
I walked upstairs and looked around his room. Everything had been put away except for some boxes on the floor. It was a relief to finally be finished. Lamar was primarily concerned with his playbook and physical preparation for the team's upcoming team activities, so he hadn't been much help with the packing.
      "Last time in this room" a voice said behind me. Lamar stood in the doorway, wear a matching olive green sweatsuit and all black New Balances. His face showed pure exhaustion; a result of all the time spent traveling back and forth between Florida and Maryland.
      "When did you get home?"
      Arms wrapped around my body. "Just now." "How was the flight?" "Tiring. I'm ready to get something to eat, and go to bed."
      He began kissing my neck.
      "Or" he started, "we could do another activity. Baby girl is sleep, and everyone else is out." I rolled my eyes. "What happened to the surprise?"
      "Four-year deal, $9.5 million" he answered in between kisses.
      I squealed, jumping into his arms. "Lamar! Congratulations!" I pressed kisses all over his face. He squeezed me tightly.
      "I told you, Naya. I got y'all."
