Heather rolls her eyes in the passenger seat of the car as Alexandra is waiting for an answer, then says, “ How long have you known me? I’ve seen you in relationships before, and I see how he looks at you. As well as, you didn’t sleep in your room last night, but you slept in his room. You can’t deny it because I went to your room this morning while you were apparently working out, and you weren’t there. The bed was completely made, just how it was like when I checked both rooms and tried out the beds. “ Alicia, in the back seat turning white as she fears that Heather knew her secret, speaks up a little sheepishly, “ I I didn’t know that; I thought you were in your room. I’m happy for you, regardless. “Alexandra looking in the rearview mirror seeing Alicia looking white as a ghost, says to her, “ Are you alright? You look like you don’t feel good? “Alicia struggles to reply as she replies, “ Umm ya-yeah, I’m fine. I just may have had a few too many last night. I might have a hangov

Alexandra entered the visiting owner’s box, and she was welcomed by jubilant conversation and lively banter. However, she was in no mood. “ You. “her voice bombed over the sound of laughter as the whole team paused to see whom she was addressing. The tall redhead's finger was leveled on Alicia, “ I said you, with me, now. We need to talk. “ Next, her gaze fell to Heather, “ You too, ‘cause I need a witness.”An echo of whispers filled the room as various other players commented, “ Man, I’m glad I’m not her. “ and “ Well, it was nice knowing her. “ “ What is wrong with you? “Alicia hissed, her ears bright red from being called out. Alex had eyes of fire as she yanked her friend into a nearby Conference room. “ Don’t you start with me! What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with you! Jumping some old man’s bones! “ “ Whoa, pump the brakes! Alicia did what now? “ Heather interjected. Now all eyes fell on Alicia, who stood pale with clenched fists. “ What I do is not your business, and i

Alexandra closes her eyes for a quick second, taking a deep breath to collect her thoughts and what she wants to do. She had to remind herself that this wasn’t the same situation that had happened almost twenty years ago and that she should give him a chance because she hadn’t told him why she has issues with alcohol, but she wasn’t going to deal with him tonight. She had to think of a plan to make sure she would be able to sneak out without seeing him due to the autograph obligation; she knew that she had texted him that she’d meet him in the conference room, but she doesn’t deal with people who are intoxicated as a rule; she’d deal with him tomorrow when he’s sober. In the meantime, she was going to enjoy the rest of the game with her friends and team on Jeremy’s dime. Lloyd seems to have finally got Jeremy to be leveled and centered. They watch the end of the game and watch Terrell make himself look foolish because of his interactions with the fans, the team partners, the referees

Jeremy wanted to keep the whole date a surprise as he realized that they hadn't done anything that didn't involve football or sports, and he wanted to go the extra mile to surprise her with having an actual romantic date.He looks at Alexandra and says, " I want it to be a surprise. Can I pick you up at about five pm? " Alexandra, who doesn't like surprises, puts on a false grin saying, " I guess that's fine; I'll see you at five then. " She turned, heading into her apartment building as he watched her walk away from his truck; once she was in the building, he drove off to run his errands quickly as possible as he only had about five hours before he would be picking her up for the date.As he's getting his errands done, his phone rings as he looks at his phone; he rolls his eyes at who is calling, Tommy Pelaratti; he regrettably answers the phone, " What do you want, Tommy? " Thinking about Tommy was like thinking about the joys of a root canal. The guy dripped sleaze, somewhere betw

The week leading up to the highly anticipated Denver Outlaws game seemed to pass in a blur for Jeremy and Alexandra. Their lives were a whirlwind of full-time jobs, intense practices, and grueling training sessions, leaving them with little time to catch their breath.Jeremy had always been passionate about football. As a former quarterback, he had experienced the thrill of leading his team to victory on numerous occasions. However, his playing days were behind him now, replaced reluctantly by a new role as the owner of an indoor football team. Despite the shift, he was trying to reignite his love for the game that burned so brightly, thanks to Alexandra pushing him to train her. While he was trying make the sport better, he had taken up the position of quarterback coach for the Denver Outlaws. It was a unique opportunity for him to not only share his expertise but also witness the growth and triumph of these talented athletes while seeing how much a coach he actu
