Breanna's POV

Breanna decided to not let the tickets go to waste, since it was happening in Lakeside. After hours and hours of staring at the ticket as it laid on her work table.

After two rounds of 'Should i? or should i not?', she finally got ready. Although she preferred soccer, it has less bumping and tackling, she was well versed with football.

Her high school had a very successful football team that many prestigious universities came to scout every year, so she spent a lot of time watching high school football.

Instead of a baseball hat, she wore a beanie, an oversized black tee shirt and a pair black of leggings.

She didn't tell Professor Caines if she was coming or not, so she didn't expect to meet him, mid hotdog bite right outside the huge stadium.

He was wearing a football jacket with the number eleven on it over greyish-black concert tee that read "No Rules" and a pair of black jeans, so that they were sort of matching.

Hey Lovelies!, So, take this chapter with a grain of salt, nothing i've written here are facts, i don't know jack about football. This was a result of me just browsing terms in football. But i always like to incorporate sports in my books. So, they are having fun!, what do we think?, Please if you notice errors, be kind to point them out.

The first person that came to mind was Steve, he had known the man for a while and Steve never sugar coat things, so he called him out for a few drinks. Steve arrived to the bar a minute after he did, sitting at the very back, in what seemed to be a tacky VIP section.

Wiping off the water with one finger, she looked up into the sky as more drops followed. She turned to find him already looking at her and without a word, they scampered to their feet. The rain seemed to be faster, falling in hard drops, Breanna let out a yelp, covering her head with her arms as he grabbed the lantern. Thankful for leaving her shoes on, she ran ahead of him with a shriek, it wasn't hard to find her way back since there was only one path that led there, but she did stumble on some stones and pebbles. Thunder clapped in the skies, lighting her path, but it came at a cost as the rain poured, before they made it back to the car they were drenched. "Ah." She screamed at the loud thunder that followed, almost jumping from her skin. He started the car before he was even seated and made an illegal drift, speeding off. "Oh, my goodness!." She shifted

"So what do you have?." He walked to the kitchen as if unsure himself. She followed with a slight bounce in her steps. "Microwave pop-corn, eggs, ready-made cookie dough, oranges and Broccoli." He listed off. Breanna frowned again at the odd combination of food. "Pop-corn?." "Cookies and pop-corn." She mused watching him walk away. She began with the cookies, all they needed were a little bit of flour and toppings, they were already cut out. She had just figured the oven out when a phone suddenly rang. She immediately reached for it, thinking it was hers, when she remembered, hers was on the couch. They had the same ring tone. He appeared a second later and she froze. "I have the same ring tone." She managed to blurt, immediately the heavy pads of his feet reached her ears, but the next wo

She woke up in the bed of his guest room again, despite having no recollection of going there. Once again looking like a wild lion having slept in wet hair. Last she remembered was the kiss they shared that left her lips swollen. Not expecting the cold shudder he gave her the next morning, but didn't comment on it. He was a man of few words after all. After a quick murmur of greetings, she got dressed in her previously wet clothes, which was now clean and dry. She assumed he washed and dried them overnight. He was a early riser, didn't mean he enjoyed it by the frown etched to his face, but his body was conditioned to be awake, unlike her. She didn't know what was going on in his head at the sudden behavior directly contrasting how his hands roamed her body. And his face wasn't saying much either, but one thing was clear.

After a teeth shattering cold shower, he dragged himself to the school campus, angrier than usual, one word away from screaming at any annoying kid that came close to him. His eyes betrayed him, sweeping over the entire hall quickly, even though he had promised himself he wouldn't. She was at the very back of the class, with a dark brown hat. Two excruciating hours later, he announced the end of semester group presentations, he passed a clip board around for their names and they found their groups.

Breanna cried, staring at her now empty hands. "Don't give me that look, you need to go pack." "We still have to sort out a whole truck of gift bags for the volunteers, there is so much to do." Breanna moved past her quickly, grabbing a cardboard box with random things sticking out of it. "We've got this, you have a flight in six hours, Breanna." Ada dropped the Ipad in her hand on the table to pack her sultry ginger hair into a bun. "Me, Wendy, O, and the girls have got this, all you have to do is go collect more money to keep this going." She pointed round the huge space. Standing in the middle of a large mess of stuff tossed everywhere, Breanna heaved.

He gave her a curt nod once and returned her smile as she left his office. Kenzie caught up just her just as she exited the building, teary eyed. Without a word, she pulled her into a hug. Breanna laughed. "I'm going to miss you so much." "I'm not leaving the earth Kenzie." Kenzie was about to retort when the sound of Jessica honking her horn interrupted them. "That's my ride."
