In Return For - B.Gray

"Yeah I will, let me know when you are free so we can figure a time out," she says to which I nod.

When she closes the door behind her, I make my way back to the house with smiles all over.

I try convincing myself that the only reason I'm so happy right now, is because I'll get tutored and then be able to continue playing football.

But even I know inside my head that the best part about this is getting to spend more time with Brynn.

I enter the house and yell "BLAKE IS BACK BABY!" And when no shuffling sounds are made or whining girls are heard from my side, I walk into the living room.

I see all the boys except Griffin sitting on the couch with controllers in all their hands and their eyes focused solely on the TV screen ahead of them.

As soon as their game ends I make sure to give them the lecture I have been planning for. "Ok guys I need to talk to you," I say standing in front of them.

The unison of 'what's up' and 'go ahead' allowed me to start. "So I fucking finally got a Bio tutor. And it's really important to me I pass this class, and I can't do that without this tutor." I say.

They all nod so I go on. "When I call my tutor here, I need to make sure our habits don't scare her away, like I said I really need her help,"

And their heads nod once again. "That being said, I need no girls out here when she comes over. Like I'm not trying to cockblock you. Stay in the room and do your shit. But don't do it here, and don't be loud about it!" I say as strictly as I could.

"Dude chill, we won't scare her away, she probably already knows how we are," Bryce speaks.

"I get that, but I can't have her saying 'it's too sexual in here, I gotta go' so please. Either keep it in your pants, or be fucking quiet about it, in your rooms," I say and they nod.

"So what's her name, do we know her?" Noah asks.

"Actually I didn't even know her, I just saw her working at the Starbucks the other day, and then talked with her on the bench at practise," I say nonchalantly.

"Ohhhh so it's the practise girl, I see what's going on. Hope you have an amazing 'tutor' session," Josh says putting air quotes on the word tutor.

I roll my eyes. "Seriously it's not like that, she's not like that. She is just tutoring me, and it took forever to convince her." I explain.

"What's her name?" Quinton asks.

"Brynn, but I call her Kelsey," I say but then wonder why I am sharing that information.

"You never noticed her? She's been at Sway so many times," Bryce jokes and my jaw noticeably tightens.

No fucking way Brynn had been with one of these guys. I don't know why, but I can't live with that thought.

"Dude chill, they're just joking. We've never heard of her," Noah says saving the wrath that was about to go towards the guys.

"None of these jokes in front of Kelsey, got it?" I remain eye contact with Bryce.

"Yeah, fine, but I'm telling you, she'll have fun if she meets the fun side of Sway, not the 'our dad is forcing us to act a certain way in front oh his new girlfriend' way," Bryce says and I ignore it.

She isn't my girlfriend.

"Ok, so we're on the same page?" I ask and they nod.

"When she coming?" Josh asks.

"I'm thinking I'll ask for tomorrow, but I still have to see if she's okay with that," I say and head to my room to text her.

Me: tmrw ok?

Girl who is saving your ass: sure, what time?

She responds shortly and I laugh at the memory of the name she wrote herself on my phone as.

Me: 7

Girl who is saving your ass: works for me, where r we meeting? Library?

Me: nah come over to my place

Girl who is saving your ass: u sure ur friends won't mind?

Me: ofc not, just be here at 7 tmrw

Along with that, I give her my address and say goodbye.
