I do everything in my power to stay oblivious on the matter.
Jersey
I bet you do!
Hayes
You said Bethany and Roman are coming with you tomorrow?
Jersey
Yes. Bethany, because she’s my best friend, and Roman so he can help me understand what’s going on down on the field. My sports ball knowledge is improving, but it will be helpful having him around for the finer details. I want to know everything that happens.
Hayes
I love that you’re so invested in the game.
Jersey
The game… you… tomay-to, tomah-to
I run my tongue along my lower lip, smiling at her little admission. I can’t wait to see her and hold her in my arms.
Hayes
Just in case you didn’t know… I really like you, Jersey.
Jersey
I had my suspicions. I really like you too, Hayes Vogt.
Hayes
Fair warning. I’m going to kiss you tomorrow. (As long as you’re cool with that.)
My head swirls with the idea of feeling her lips against mine for the first time. I wonder what she tastes like, if she makes little noises when lost in the depth of a kiss. I’m aching to know all these small, intimate details about her.
Jersey
I’m more than cool with it. I was hoping you would.
Hayes
I don’t know if I’d be able to not.
Jersey
I like the sound of that. But I’ll let you go and get some rest. Tomorrow’s a big day, but I wanted to check in and make sure you made it.
Hayes
Means a lot. Can’t wait to see you tomorrow.
Jersey
Me either, MVP.
Not seconds later, she sends a picture through of her puckering her lips together as if blowing me a kiss from where she is. Despite the exhaustion from travel and the knowledge that I’ll be working my ass off tomorrow, my cock hardens at the sight of her full, pouty lips.
