“You can, but I have to get up. The bowl game’s on Saturday. This is our last full practice before it. I can’t be late.”

“Fine,” Quin said disappointed.

Staring into his eyes I tried to think of the next time I could get him back here.

“Do you want to come to the game? Have you ever been?”

“You want me to come to your game?” He asked with a smile.

“Yeah. Why wouldn’t I?”

“I don’t know. I thought it might be your manly space or something.”

“Manly space?”

“You know, a place for your girlfriend and all of your football friends to meet and do football things.”

“First of all, the stadium seats 20,000 people. There’s room for everyone. Second of all, Tasha hasn’t been to one of my games in I don’t know how long. You should come. That way you can see what all the fuss is about.”

“I can see what all of the fuss is about from here,” he said making my heart melt.

“I mean, why it’s so important for me to pass the class we stayed up all night studying for.”

“Oh, yeah. Okay.”

“I can get you a couple of tickets. You can bring Lou.”

“I don’t know how much he’s into football.”

“Is he into football players?” I asked with a smile.

“He’s into anyone with a dick.”

“Then tell him that everyone on the field is guaranteed to have a dick,” I said with a smile.

Quin chuckled. I loved hearing him laugh.

“I’ll see.”

“Cool.”

“Will you win?”

“For you? Anything. I wouldn’t have been able to pass the class without you.”

“You haven’t passed it yet,” he reminded me.

“But I will. I’m confident. You’re a good teacher. Thank you.”

“Does that mean my tutoring time with you is done?”

I looked at Quin realizing it for the first time.

“I guess it does.”

The thought of not having an excuse to be with him broke my heart.

“You definitely have to come to the game. I mean it. Promise me you will even if Lou doesn’t.”
