After being cheated on by their long-term partners, can a pro-wide receiver and a PR agent remain friends with benefits without falling for each other?

I've been in love with Ava since I was fifteen. She was my first, my only, my everything, destroying my heart when she betrayed me. Without her, half of me is missing. Unable to confront the truth, I'm pivoting my frustrations into football. A last-chance tryout to play pro football in Seattle and my high school reunion offer enough time for my redemption plan - professional first, personal second.

Thousands of miles from home, living with my best friend and his wife leaves me with homesickness and the worst case of third-wheeling. Only Maya, the gorgeous, put-together PR rep for our team knows how I feel, but when our friendship line blurs beneficial to recover our confidence, I struggle with developing feelings for her.

"Not screwing as in ongoing. It was a one time... or two time thing," I cringe at how slutty that makes me sound. "I was a little drunk... the second time. Whatever, the details aren't important because it's not going to happen again." "Twice? Honestly Mack, I thought you were better than to fall for his shit. I've watched him churn through women, fuck em and dump em. I know he's my boss but he isn't a good guy! And you work with him too! Scarlett was one thing, but now he's got you both in his bed!" Note to self, don't tell Tristan that neither time was in a bed and we only had sex once. You know what, let's just keep the details to the bare minimum, he can fill in whatever blanks he wants to. **** Mackenzie has been living a life for everyone else, mainly her long term high school boyfriend. She doesn't seem to know who she is anymore, what she wants, or how to stand up for herself. When she starts a new job she never expected to meet people like Tristan, Scarlett and Alex. People who changed her life, encouraged her to be herself and chase her own dreams. These friendships help to heal her heart, but could they turn to something more?

I hate secrets. And I hate drama. But somehow, I stumbled into relationships with two girls, each one hiding something big from me. Bree is beautiful and fit. Captain of the cheerleaders and homecoming queen. She's every guy's dream, every guy but me that is. I didn't really intend to date her, but things just have a way of taking on a life of their own. Then there's Peyton, who drives me crazy. She's a teammate, for God's sake. A football player with a shaved head who disguised herself as a dude to make varsity. She's tough and independent, a smartass with a big chip on her shoulder. But she's more than that--her beauty is wild and untamed. She glows electric, and I'm drawn to that electricity like lightning to a rod. So, I find myself in a bit of a bind--a love triangle with a cheerleader and a football player--and I have a feeling that their secrets just might alter the course of my life forever.

"Why do you always avoid my questions?" "I'm not, it's just that there's nothing to say. Who would ever want to date someone they can't even talk to? It's not rocket science. My eyes are weird, and people get tired of me eventually. There's your one-page essay. Now please don't snow me to death .-." "What? All that you just said is a lie. And I should snow you to death for even saying that! I would definitely date you." "...Thanks." 🍒｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡🍓｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡ Dallas Addison had it all; being a talented swimmer and dating the star of the football team, she didn't think she lacked anything in any capacity. Sure, she and her boyfriend had minuscule issues, but which logical relationship didn't have their occasional ups and downs? After landing in Extra Credit class due to a series of mishaps with her grades and attendance, Dallas's turmoil became despair when she became paired with one of the most eccentric people in the entire class. Seriously. Who wore sunglasses to school, much less indoors? When weeks turned into months of working together, series of back-and-forth message threads started to hit closer and closer to home. Suddenly, Dallas realized that maybe her life wasn't as idyllic as she was previously led to believe. || Completed 2023 ✔️ || ©ReeseTory2022

I chuckled slightly and shook my head. "Does that usually work for you? The cute little remarks and that nice smile." I teased. He gave me a sheepish look of surprise. "Most girls would be flattered at my attempt to flirt with them." I scoffed and shook my head. "Well, as a member of the "most girls" community, I can say that I am not." "Wow. That's a bit harsh." He gave me a smug look and crossed his arms. "Sorry," I shrugged. "I'm immune to boy charms. In fact, I think I'm allergic." "Well, don't think so highly of yourself. Just because you have cute dimples and a pretty face, doesn't mean I find you attractive." ------------------------------ Maya Cameron is a senior at Ohio State University and this is the year where you need to get your life together before you get pushed out into the real world. Writing is the only thing that keeps her sane after all of the trauma she's been though. With her mom and dad's unfortunate death, she's been left under the care of her evil step-aunt and forced to stay with her annoying step-cousin. As if college isn't stressful enough. And then there's this other guy in her life. They met online by accident and have been talking for months but she's not brave enough to make it something real. Will Ashby is the all-around superstar on campus. He's practically royalty because he's the running back on the Ohio State Football team: one of the best college football teams in America. Will is the person guys want to be and guy girls want to be with. But in actuality, he'd rather blend in with the background noise. His only focus has been football and finishing his degree. That was until he met this girl. He doesn't even know her name or what she looks like, but she's the girl he'd want to be real with. Because of circumstances, Will needs an English tutor or he won't be able to play. And much to her dismay, Maya is the perfect person for the job. Started: January 2021 Completed: October 2021

COMPLETED I've always been the person that does whatever someone tells me I can't. Can't graduate with a four-point-oh? Check. Can't win a modeling contract without trying? Did it. Check. Can't make it in the pro football league? Triple check with an MVP Award on top. When my best friend told me to stay away from his little sister, Layla, it didn't sound like a challenge. Then again, I'd never seen her before. He obviously wasn't thinking about who he was talking to if he believed I could ignore her. I obviously wasn't thinking of him at all when I fell in love with her either. Fact of the matter is: I not only fell harder than a quarterback sack on a Sunday night game, but I did us one better. Kind of like that MVP award, only not so shiny. Sort of like my Player of the Year title, except the only thing I'm walking away with is an ex-best friend and a woman that hates my guts. It's okay. Just tell me I can't win her back. I'm Branch "Lucky" Best and today's my lucky day.
