“Roll over please” he said, his voice deep.

  “It needs to dry Lucas.”

  He started lightly blowing on her to dry it, it felt good.

  “Lucas” she whispered.

  "Shhh," he said and continued.

  She laid there and enjoyed until she was dry.

  She rolled over, and he squirted it on her belly and slowly rubbed it in. She closed her eyes and tried to relax. He moved up and applied more. Her eyes opened as he moved lower.

  “Lucas, please” she whispered.

  "It has to dry," he continued up her inner thigh.

  He began to blow on her again. She couldn’t stand it.

  "You have to stop," she whimpered.

  He continued and shook his head no, keeping his eyes on her body. She saw his jaw tighten, and he went down. She buried her head in a pillow as she came. She sat up and pushed him beside her and straddled him. It was very hard to be quiet, but they managed.

  He grabbed one of his tee shirts and helped her put it on. He knelt down and kissed her belly and held out her shorts for her to step into.

  "Love you, baby," he whispered.

  She applied Aloe to his golden back and chest. They walked out, and everyone was eating. They sat down and ate with them. They talked about their plans for the next day. The kids were excited to go to the water park the next day.

  They arrived home on Sunday afternoon. Lucas helped them carry their stuff inside and put things away.

  “I’m going to take off,” he kissed her; “I’ll see you tomorrow at about two?”

  “I want to go with you and help you get ready for the week.”

  “You should probably stay home; all I’m going to do is laundry. Oh and go for a run a little later, I haven’t done that in awhile. I’m probably going to regret that tomorrow” he laughed.

  “Okay” she said softly, “Text when you get home?”

  “Of course” he smiled. “See you tomorrow, I love you”

  Her phone chimed, and it was him

  -Home…LL

  -Sore…LT

  -Sorry baby…LL

  -Not all of it is your fault, lol…LT

  -I hope not…LL

  -call me later?....LT

  -of course…LL

  -I love you…LT

  -I love you too baby. I love us…LL

  -So sweet, I love us too…LT

  The week was busy; Lucas was in Syracuse from nine until two every day and should probably be staying with his team, but wanted to be home. Tessa was helping coach Kendall’s field hockey team and helping Lucas’s mother move. Jade and Ryan would be moving in the house in two weeks.

  -LUCAS!! I miss you!...LT

  -At lunch missing you too, what’s your plan for the weekend? There is a party up here Saturday night a bunch of my team is getting together, will you come with me?...LL

  -After practice I’m heading up there to take Kendall and Jake school shopping, can you meet us? If you don’t want to… I get it. Of course I’ll go with you tomorrow….LT

  -I’ll meet you at two thirty, when will you be up?...LL

  -We are leaving in about thirty minutes…LT

  -Drive safe baby, I love you…LL

  -I love you s’mores…LT

  Chapter 20

  Kendall would be going into tenth grade and had grown a lot over the summer. She wanted a different style than last year. She was beautiful, tall and thin. Her hair was long and curly like Tessa’s.

  They went into the trendy stores and quickly spent the money her parents had given them. Jake wanted to wait for Lucas, he thought he may know a little more about guy clothes, Tessa agreed.

  -Where are you?..LL

  -third floor take the elevator we will meet you there…LT

  He got off the elevator; he had just showered and smelled amazing. She hugged him, and he kissed her.

  “You sure about this?”

  "Yeah it'll be fun," Lucas said.

  “I don’t know… Jake wants you to help him pick out stud clothes” she laughed. “I want to take Kendall to get some new underclothes. Lucas… she has boobies now,” she whispered.

  He laughed, “Alright you go ahead I got Jake.”

  They met back an hour later. Jake had five bags including one from the shoe store. Kendall hid her pink bag inside another bag, she was embarrassed. Tessa winked at Lucas, and he laughed.

  "Lucas bought me the sneakers mom said I couldn't waste money on," Jake announced.

  "That was very nice of him," she scowled at Lucas.

  “Tessa bought me some things Mom told me I couldn’t get to,” Kendall said and Tessa’s face turned red.

  “Secret Kendall?”

  Lucas laughed and scowled. Tessa hugged him.

  “Have you gotten your school clothes yet Tessa?”

  “Not yet. I figured after I help you unpack Sunday I would come over, retail therapy will help distract me,” she smiled.

  “Kendall and Jake, I think we should help her pick out some clothes, what you think?” he asked.

  They went into a couple stores, and anything she tried on that touched her body he said no. He handed her clothes a size bigger than she wore. She came out, and he gave her the thumbs up, and Kendall and Jake laughed.

  "Good. I think this is perfect to wear to your games," she said.

  “No, I’ll pick you up some game day clothes, I hope you like orange” he smiled.

  They left, and she had a few pairs of jeans and some long sleeved tees. She thought they would be perfect for game days in the chilly fall upstate New York weather.

  "You do know I’ll be coming back,” she said to Lucas.

  They all laughed. They stopped, and he grabbed some stuff for him. Mostly athletic clothes. They planned to hang out at the Ross’s that night after they moved the rest of Lucas’s mom’s things.

  ~

  They looked at the empty house, and Lucas smiled.

  "Weird to have her stuff gone.”

  "Lucas she’s just twenty minutes away," Tessa said and smiled at him.

  "I know, and she has been doing really well.”

  "It's time for you to worry about what Lucas needs," she smiled.

  “I need one thing Tessa, you” he hugged her.

  "Food and water too," she said laughing.

  “Do you know it has been a year Tessa, a year ago I saw you and knew I needed you? I just didn’t know how badly,” he said softly.

  "The white hat boys," she giggled.

  “The scowling farm girl who had no idea how hot she was or how she could change this naughty boy,” he kissed her. “It has been a crazy year Tessa; I wouldn’t have made it without you, thank you.”

  “Lucas thank you. I’m so glad that even though I never would have imagined life could be so perfect even through chaos it’s been, I love you more than I ever imagined possible,” she kissed him.

  He picked her up and carried her upstairs.

  ~

  Saturday morning she woke to a situation and was very annoyed. Well at least last night was perfect; his entire house had been used before she returned home.

  Her phone chimed, and it was him

  -Good morning baby, there is a bag in the back of your Jeep. Grab it there’s an outfit and swim suit for today, text me back and tell me what you think?....LL

  There wasn’t a bag, there were three. Two were full of SU apparel, and a note, GAME DAY. Another contained some of the clothes she had tried on the day before and he had nixed attached was another note I TRUST YOU, NOT THE BOYS. The other was obviously for today. A hot pink swim outfit, boy shorts and a halter top with a wrap skirt. A pair of khaki lose fitting wide legged pants and a black tight tank top and a cropped denim jacket.

  -Lucas thank you. I am not sure about the swim attire, I have a SITUATION. Which sucks!...LT

  -I will pick you up in an hour, the situation is unfortunate bring the suit anyway. The fact that it SUCKS will make it much easier to deal with, lol…LL

  She
laughed and showered

  -how would you like my hair?...LT

  -wrapped around my hands…LL

  -I figured since you're now my personal stylist I should ask…LT

  - DOWN, and wild…LL

  She laughed as she dried her hair and put on makeup.

  He pulled in and she ran out. He smiled.

  "I do good work," he hugged her.

  “Maybe you’ve missed your calling,” she giggled and kissed him.

  ~

  They pulled into the driveway and got out. It was loud, and she was nervous.

  “You alright?” he asked.

  “Are you?” she held his hand tighter.

  They walked through the gate to the pool. There was a ton of people. Jose walked up to them.

  “Hey man you made it” he said and grabbed Lucas’s shoulder, “Who is this?” he said and looked her up and down.

  “Jose this is Tessa, Tessa this is Jose.”

  “Oh yes, the monkey on your back” he laughed referring to the tattoo.

  "He’s on mine to Jose," she laughed.

  She turned around and lifted her shirt a bit showing him.

  He looked at Lucas and mouthed nice man.

  Lucas smiled “I know.”

  Tessa noticed all the girls and immediately became insecure.

  “I need to use the bathroom” she whispered to him.

  He took her hand, and they went to find it. He waited outside the door for her.

  “You okay, Tessa?” he asked when she came out.

  "Yes I am fine.”

  They walked outside and stood and listened to a bunch of them talk football. She listened and smiled politely. Lucas wasn’t a starter, the senior Miles was. He was pretty nice. He smiled at Lucas and Tessa often. Tessa knew Lucas should be rubbing elbows with the guys and went to grab a drink. She waited in line to get to the cooler. She heard a group of girls talking about the new hottie quarterback, and she looked down.

  “Hey you’re new, what’s your name?” one of them said.

  "Hi I am Tessa," she said and smiled, “hottie new quarterback girlfriend.”

  “So you’ll be around a lot then,” the brunette smiled.

  “Yes, I plan to be.”

  “Well then we should all get to know each other, we are each here with our boyfriends” she smiled. “We hope you’re not upset about the hottie new boyfriend thing, we didn’t mean anything by it.” she said “I’m Jenny our hotty old quarterbacks girlfriend.”

  “Thank you for the explanation," Tessa said.

  "Did you get lost, baby?" Lucas wrapped his arms around her waist and kissing her head.

  “No-- sorry Lucas, I just met a few people.” she smiled. “Lucas this is Jenny, Miles’ girlfriend, Jenny this is Lucas, hotty new quarterback.”

  Lucas looked confused, Tessa and Jenny laughed.

  “Things are good here?” Lucas whispered in her ear.

  Tessa turned around and kissed him, “I think so.”

  He held his forehead to hers, “You sure baby?”

  She smiled, “Go have fun, I’ll be fine.”

  He stared at her mouth and traced his finger on her lips. "We can leave.”

  “I can do that later” she smiled.

  “Do what?” he said and grinned.

  "You never mind," she pushed him back.

  Music started, and Jenny dragged Tessa with her and the girls. They danced and laughed. Tessa liked Jenny, they had fun together. Jenny was from a small town in Ohio and was at SU on a full scholarship. She and Miles both grew up together.

  “Can he dance?” Tessa asked.

  “What? Miles? I don’t know?” she laughed.

  “Let’s go get them and make them,” Tessa said.

  "Oh no, he wouldn't," Jenny said.

  “You go get Lucas, and I’ll get him,” Tessa smiled.

  Tessa asked Miles to dance, Lucas was a bit shocked.

  Jenny grabbed Lucas, “Let’s go” and dragged him out.

  Lucas looked at Tessa dancing with Miles who looked uncomfortable at first.

  "I don't dance," Lucas said.

  “Your girlfriend seems to think you can” Jenny smiled. “Miles doesn’t either.”

  "Looks like he can," Lucas said as he saw him spin and dip Tessa.

  “I guess he can,” she smiled “Do you mind if I go cut in?”

  “No, send Tessa over here” he smiled.

  Tessa smiled as she walked up to Lucas and grabbed his hand dragging him out to dance.

  “I don’t think so Tessa” he laughed.

  “Please” she begged, “I know you can move” she smiled, “I know it very well.”

  He followed her to the center of the dance floor.

  They drove home and laughed as he talked about his new team mates.

  “I think you’re going to like it there,” Tessa smiled.

  “I think I’m going to be too exhausted to like it.”

  “What do you mean?”

  "School and as much of you as I can get," he kissed her hand. “I feel like I should be ecstatic that I’m playing here, but all I can think of is December.”

  “We’re going to be busy, and we’re going to be fine. God I hope we are fine.” She whispered.

  He pulled over at a rest stop.

  "Tessa if you don't want this, you need to tell me now," he said frustrated.

  “Hey where is this coming from?” she asked.

  "I just need you to promise me Tessa," he grabbed her face.

  "I promise Lucas," she said.

  ~

  They pulled into her driveway, “Can you come in?”

  “Yes, who’s home?” he asked.

  “Doesn’t look like anyone is” she said and jumped out and ran inside. “Come on Lucas.”

  He smiled and followed her in. She dragged him upstairs.

  “I have something for you” he smiled and raised his eyebrow.

  She grinned and pushed him down.

  "You are amazing," he said after Tessa finished with him.

  “Can you go downstairs? I’ll be there in a minute” she smiled.

  She came downstairs with a bag.

  “I have a few things for you” she smiled and sat next to him and handed him the bag. “Open it.”

  He opened the bag, inside was a quilt. She had gone through his closet and taken all the Tee shirts that he had from sports that he had participated in. She had bought a few SU ones and some from the Adirondacks so that it made up enough for a queen size blanket. She had made an album from Christmas until their trip last weekend. He took his time looking through it.

  "I love them Tessa," he kissed her.

  "There's one more," she said.

  He looked in the bag; he pulled out a black leather book. He opened it, his eyes widened, and he closed them for a few seconds. He looked through each picture swallowing hard and taking deep breaths.

  “When did you do this?” he asked.

  "Jade and I worked on it a couple weeks ago.”

  “You look incredible.”

  “They are in order from first to last one worn.” She smiled.

  “Oh I remember” he smiled, looking through it again. “No pictures of your face, hardly anyone with even the back of your head.”

  “If anyone saw this, I would die Lucas,” she laughed. And I can remind you what the back of my head looks like anytime you want she thought, she yawned.

  "You tired?"

  “Please stay, we can sleep on the couch, I don’t want you to leave” she said sounding panicked.

  “Okay Tessa” he hugged her.

  "Thank you," she said. They lie face to face and fell asleep.

  ~

  The next day they got up and drove to Lucas’, his Dad met them there, and they drove up together. Tessa sat quietly in the back as Landon and Lucas talked. He went in and registered, and Tessa sat back watching all the girls check him out, several said hello and he just nodded.

  He finished and
grabbed her hand. “Let’s go check out my new place.”

  They drove to south campus and walked into his building, she was relieved that it was not co-ed and that most if not all of the residents were from the football team. He had a private room. It was not as small as she’d thought it would be. She helped him make his bed, and he pulled out the quilt and threw it over the bed.

  “That’s very interesting,” Landon said.

  “Tessa did it for me,” he smiled.

  A book fell out of the bag; Landon picked it up and opened it. It was the black leather book with photos of Tessa modeling each naughty outfit she had worn for Lucas. Tessa noticed he had it and shot Lucas a look. Lucas took it from him and smiled.

  “Oh, Tessa make that too?” Landon laughed.

  She blushed, and Lucas smiled.

  When they finished they walked around campus and found his classes. They went to lunch and then hit the bookstore. Tessa was shocked to see how expensive books were, how could people afford this? How were my parents going to do this for two of us? she thought.

  ~

  Landon and Tessa left after a quiet goodbye.

  “Tessa how often do you plan to visit Lucas?”

  “I’m not sure. I think he is going to be very busy,” she said quietly.

  "I think he’s going to want to see you whenever he can.”

  “I feel the same way.”

  “Good, this is important for him. I hope that you understand he’s going to need you.”

  Tessa smiled.

  His phone chimed

  -I’m home. I hope you’re having fun…LT

  -Actually I am a bit overwhelmed, and I want to see you. Can you come back, baby?…LL

  -How about tomorrow after practice?...LT
