“Not in a bad way. You’re just… solid, lately.” I tilt my head, looking for the words.

“I’ve always been solid, Jess . People just don’t always look long enough to see it.”

“Nah, I looked plenty, nigga, and you was a straight up asshole,” I throw at him pointedly and he bursts out laughing.

“Fair, my bad… I swear I’ll stop.” That earns the smallest smirk from me. Something itty bitty because I’m not no friendly bitchthat just goes around forgiving bullies and shit just because they handsome and a little bit nice.

I feel eyes on me, and I turn and catchTeklooking over to us for a split second while he talks to a lady sitting on the bleachers wearing all black with long sleeves, a big black sombrero-like hat that blocks the sun, and she even has on black gloves and dark ass shades…the fuck? It’s like 98 degrees outside, she ain’t hot?But whatever. That is not my business. I just look away and keep jogging like I didn’t see nothing.

Eyes on the prize Jess… eyes on the mother fucking prize.

I sigh, and something in me twists. This shit feel so wrong! Me shooting the shit with Duval while Tek over there brooding alone?Man, what the hell kind of twilight zone is this?I keep jogging even after Duval is called away for something, but again, when I come back around this time, I’m a bit shocked when Tek comes out and starts jogging next to me.

“Hey,” I hear after a beat and for a hot second I think I’m hearing things, but there it goes again. “Jess, I know you hear me.” I look back to see Tek smiling at me, just like old times, and my heart constricts a bit.Okay, not hostile. That’s progress.

“Oh… so you’re talking to me now?” I cut my eyes at him, side eyeing the hell out of him for a second because as much as I do miss him as a friend, I’m still pissed at him for ignoring me.

“Just figured I’d say what’s up. Since we’re teammates and all,” he states and I curl my lip, glancing back at him. I feel so pissedI want to scream, but I don’t…there’s a time and place for everything, and I’m not about to get out of character right now.

“Oh your teammate huh? I see…” I keep jogging and he grabs my arm. I feel like my skin crawls and I become nauseous as I snatch it away, shocking the both of us, but I try to pass it off as something else to ease the eyes who might be looking for gossip. “L-let’s not have contact like that here… I have a lot of shit going on and I don’t want this to look like something it isn’t.”

His lips thin, turning white damn near, and I dead ass have to keep from laughing because they look like chimpanzee lips. Thankfully, he answers before I can let the way he’s looking get the best of me. He nods once and run his hands through his short hair.

“You looked good yesterday… on camera, I mean,” he mutters, but his compliment stuns me more than it should.

“… thanks,” I respond just as the whistle blows, calling us to drills and both of us make our way over the starting cones and slide into formation.

My chest feels lighter than it did yesterday. As the drills begin, between sprints, side shuffles, ladder footwork, among others, I make sure I push harder than anyone else. My cleats cut the turf, and my lungs burn, but I don’t slow down.This is where I speak loudest and everyone’s watching now.

It’s time to show them exactly who Jessica Hurts is!

the hunt

Frank

I’ve done a lot of questionable shit in my life, but watching my girl get her pussy ate by a tiny version of me is top tear scumbag behavior. That said… I’ll be that. The way I beat my dick to that last tonight when I found a way to rip a hole through the veil between hell and earth…

“Whew… a week and a half… it’s been a whole fucking week and I half since I’ve held her, yet that tiny mother fucker gets to suck and lick on her pussy?Oh, there will be hell to pay when I get back…

But for now, I lay, watching my Little Baby do a media interview, just smiling at how brilliant she looks.Wow… I’m so lucky to have her!

I write in my journal just happy to see her!

She looked so beautiful today. I love her.

As she’s speaking, I feel my dick grow hard from her voice. I lean forward about to pull out my dick when the floating orb I’m watching Jessica on clinks over to a commercial.WHAT? THEY HAVE THOSE HERE??! FUCK!!!
