The play boy's secret lover

Bang, bang, bang, bang,“What the fuck?” I say waking up with a fright. I listen again to the sound, am I dreaming or is someone banging on my door.Bang, bang, bang, bang.I reach for my phone on the side table. It’s 3:30 am. Who would come to my house at this hour.Bang, bang, bang.“Shit.” I get out of bed, walk down the hallway to my front door. I look through the peep hole. I see Knox leaning on the door. He’s drunk and he’s here.I see his fist move to bang the door and I panic. If he bangs on this door one more time he’s going to wake up my landlord. And she hates rowdy tenants; I don’t want to get kicked out of my apartment, I can’t afford to be homeless. This is the only nice apartment I can afford that’s near school.“Don’t” I say and his fist hovers over the door. He looks into the peephole and smiles. I take a dee

6:45 pm The team is already on the field warming up. We all know that when coach says practice is at 7 he means 6:30. You better not be caught late, you will regret it. He doesn’t take kindly to tardiness. Every player earns the right to be on his team, he doesn’t care if you are the most talented of the bunch; if you’re not committed to the game you’re useless.“Okay gentle I want us to do some drills. We have an important game this weekend and I want each and every one of us to be on point.” Coach screams at the top of his giving each and everyone one of us the look.We’re midway through the season meaning we need to play like we’re defending our title. For us the championship never stops as soon as we win that cup, we’re already defending it. Every game counts, we give our all every game. We didn’t become champions by mistake. We earned our title with sweat, blood and tears.

“Knox came over to my house again last night.” I whisper to Casey.  We’re in her bedroom in an apartment. We just got done with a study session. We have these sessions at least once a week; it always helps to have a study partner. It always gives an opportunity to see the material from a different perspective.“He did what? Wait why are we whispering?”  She asks whispering too.“You have a roommate and I don’t want her to overhear our conversation.” I continue whispering.“She’s not here, she has class on campus and if you don’t want to say his name you can just say him. I’ll know who you’re talking about.” She says talking normally.“Okay, he came over. I don’t know how to make him stop doing this. I’ve asked nicely, I’ve screamed at him and I’ve even kicked him out but he just won’t stop. I don’t know what to d

“Hi are you Melody?” A Samantha says standing in front of me. I look up at her and she smiles. My heart is in my throat, she and I have never met but I know who she is. Why is she here? Does she know who I am? “Yes.” I say smiling back at her too but I am dying on the inside. What if she decides to pull my hair here in the middle of the campus coffee shop? “I’m Samantha; I heard you’re a tutor.” She says pulling out a chair and she sits down. I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. This a scenario from one of my nightmares and it ends badly. I don’t want to die for a boy that’s not even mine. “Oh yes. Are you looking for a tutor?” I ask looking at her, she’s so beautiful. Her face is perfect. Why is Knox bothering with me? She has a perfectly perfect girl right here? “Yeah, I’m looking for a chemistry tutor and someone referred me to you.” she says and I nod. I do chemistry and mathematics tutoring. I always have a full schedule because people

“How was your day?” Samantha says looking at me. She’s sitting opposite me on my sofa I yawn tired, today was interesting. It certainly didn’t go the way I planned it.“Today was a long day” I say thinking about my run in with Melody a few hours ago. How she stormed out of the coffee shop. I imagined that conversation going so much differently than it did.“You’re tired.” She asks reaching her hand out to brush my leg softly.“You could say that.” I say really thinking about it. I’m not tired physically, I’m just feeling beat. I feel like I’m losing Melody and I hate it. I want her all to myself and the addition of this new dude is fucking up my flow.I want him gone. His being around is making her more and more resistant to my advances. She was always against us hooking up but she wasn’t blatantly rejecting me. She’s different now.I know this is not fa
