He catches it with one hand and spins it in his palm. “You go for a night, it’s called a booty call, If this is more, then go on Wednesday and spend more than a night with her.” He throws the ball back to me with hard bounce pass, and I shoot it into the hoop. I walk over to the bench to pick up my water bottle and phone so I can send Derek a message on my way to the shower.
‘Hi, book my ticket for Wednesday after training.’
When I reach the showers, my phone buzzes with a message from Derek, saying that he will, and it buzzes again with one from Sky.
I smile when I read.
Shorty - ‘So you can see my Instagram, I'll send you my pictures. Here’s the first one.’
I look at the pictures that she has just sent—one of her in a bathing suit by the pool.
Trey - ‘I hope you have something sexy for me when I see you next.’
Shorty - ‘I only buy from Victoria Secret, so you tell me ;)’
Oh, I need to go to the store before I go see her. I need to pick something that I'll enjoy taking off of her.
Trey - ‘Just hitting the shower. Are you free to talk in a few minutes?’
Shorty - ‘Without me? My plan is to sunbathe all day x’
Trey - ‘You can join me anytime, shorty. I’ll call once I’m out.’
Getting into the car, I hit call on shorty’s name.
“Hey, shorty, still by the pool?” I pull out of the parking lot and see the gathered paparazzi taking pictures of me.
“I’m spending my whole day here,” she replies. “I’m going out tonight with Calvin and Finn. How was your team meeting?”
“It was good. I’m not going to bore you with all that, though, I want to know who’s rubbing sun lotion on you as I’m not there?”
She starts laughing. “Are you going to be jealous of my gay best friend?”
“Never. I think you’re into me a lot more than you show.” I turn the corner. “Question. iIf I wanted to send you a gift, what size would I send?” I have a good idea of what size, but I really don’t want to upset her by buying the wrong one.
“And what are you buying?”
“I’m not telling you.”
“Fine, I like the guessing game. Is it black, long, and thick?” I can hear Sky laughing, but it’s more of a sex-filled laugh, and definitely flirty.
I bet phone sex with her will be amazing. Just saying those few words, her voice has changed into a sex kitten.
“I don’t need to buy that for you, trust me.”
“Then I expect to receive it next time we see each other,” she purrs.
God, her voice sounds so sexy, and it’s turning me on. “Right I’m now driving with a hard cock, thanks.”
Her laugh is so cute. “Okay, I’ll stop with the teasing,” she says with a chuckle. “So, my gift. Is it black, laced, and I’m going to enjoy you taking it off me?” She pauses then asks, “What song you listening to in the background?”
How can she go from talking sexy as hell to asking about a song?
“Jay Z’s album,” I reply. “What type of music do you like?”
“Anything really,” she says, and all traces of heat are gone completely. “RnB, a little hip-hop, pop, whatever I’m in the mood for. I love Queen, my all time favorite group. Are you going back home now?”
“Yeah, I’ve got a family dinner.” Which I’m dreading. “When are you coming to LA?” I like that I’m getting to know her better, but I’d never put her down as a Queen fan for some reason. Even on the plane I was surprised by it.
