After sitting through the entire forth quarter and cheering so hard my voice was weak, the game finally ends with Alabama 63 and Georgia State 21. Tanner was a freaking beast. He killed it, he threw all of the games touchdowns for Alabama, had no interceptions on him, and no quarterback sacks. He never showed that he was nervous one time. He even winked at me from the bench a few times and I smiled so hard I thought my cheeks were going to fall off. I'm totally falling in love with this guy.

He was on fire and I could tell his parents were proud of their oldest son. I wonder what it's like having them in your life, their so freaking supportive of all his decisions.

I haven't spoke to my mother in a month and it's the most freeing thing I have ever felt. I didn't realize how much I was suffocated until I wasn't living with her. I don't miss the random men, alcohol, or high demanding attitude, I still talk to my dad everyday though.

I wait together with Tanner's family for the crowd to disappear before being escorted to the lobby outside the locker room. I intentionally walk right behind Tucker and Noah because they are like personal body guards both being tall and muscular like their brother. I don't have to worry about asking to go around anybody because when people see this family they either come up to speak and take pictures with Beau or they run the opposite direction. I get why, all do the men are over 6'4 and weight at least two hundred and twenty pounds each.

We make our way down the tunnel and to the locker room. For the facility to be so nice the door to the locker room is practically paper thin. We can hear all of the shouting and yelling coming from the guys celebrating. I think I even hear one yell at Tanner saying how on fire he was.

I can't help but smile. Sage comes up beside me, and says "You really like him don't you?" she must have seen my face when I was thinking about him.

I do, he's the only guy I've ever dated but I really do like him. "Yeah Sage, I really do, he's incredible. He makes me really happy" I respond.

She smiles at me and continues "Well, I know he's very happy with you as well, he told me about you weeks ago" she tells me as I blush.

"Sage we barely know each other but I can tell you I was never this girl. He's my first boyfriend, he was my first kiss. I just, I really do like him. I think I may even love him but I'm not ready yet. I care about him so much" I open up and tell her as she grins.

"He's pretty cool for an older brother. I'm happy you're with him, he's never introduced us to a girl before. He always said when he did that's going to be his wife" she whispers as I feel my heart burst. So he really does like me, he really does.

"That makes me so happy" I tell her as she smiles.

"He's the happiest I've ever seen him. Just promise me you won't break his heart, he's honestly a really good guy and I can say that because I've lived with him forever. Even though he walks over and farts on me on purpose, hates my dog but secretly loves her, and has run off every guy that's ever wanted to talk to me, I do love my big bro" she tells me as I pull her into a side hug.

"I don't plan on that at all" I demand as she nods.

"So my parents want to go to dinner to celebrate and finally talk to Tanner for more than ten minutes on the phone, do you want to come?" She's the sweetest girl I have ever met.

I weigh my options carefully and finally respond, "No, that's okay, I drove here so my car is still outside and I know how much you and your family miss him. I don't want to take your time away from him. I just want to tell him goodnight before I go." I want him to see them, I can wait. His family is coming first, I'm not taking him away from them.

She looks at me sternly, "You do know your going to be my sister in the future, right? You're practically family! Please come, you can drop your car off at your dorm, I know my parent's wouldn't mind if you joined." I would but Tanner misses them, I would feel out of place not because of them but because I don't want them to think I'm to clingy.

I'm about to respond back when the door to the locker room flies open and players pile out. Most look like they have showered, and all of them are wearing the exact same t-shirt and sweatpants. They are wearing black shirts and red crimson athletic sneakers. I look for Tanner and see him walking out talking to one of the coaches again. Damn him in those grey sweatpants, he looks so hot.

He smiles at me while winking and walks toward his dad with the coach by his side. That wink is hot, I love that wink. I turn to Sage to respond "I think I'll tell him bye and go, I want you guys to have fun, and I'm tired anyway."

She gives me a sad look, "Okay, but when my mom finds out she isn't going to be happy my brothers girlfriend refused to go out with us." That little heifer! She's going to lie!

I look at her questionably, "I didn't refuse to go, I just want your family to have fun together, I don't want to mess up your time together."

She looks at me giggling, "Ellie we like you, please come! That's not what I'm going to tell my mom if you don't go!"

I open my mouth to respond but before I say anything I feel Tanner come up behind me. His smell hits me and I turn around and hug his neck "You did so good, I'm proud of you baby!"

"Baby?" he questions and smiles. I lean up and kiss his cheek nodding. I know he's my baby, I like him a lot, I might even love him but I'm not sure what it feels like to love a guy, I never have. I know that he means more to me than anyone though.

I roll my eyes as he walks over to Sage and gives her a big hug. He says to her "I've missed you baby sis" while rubbing her hair and messing it up. She scolds him for messing it up and hits his arm while laughing. They seem really close, he loves his sister and that's attractive to me. I know he's protected her the same way he has for me.

When he finally pulls away he comes back over to my side with his gym bag on his shoulder. That dreadfully stinky bag that I need to wash.

He grips my hip in his left palm, something I've noticed he loves to do, and says "So what are you ladies up to?" while rubbing the skin under my shirt. His touch lights me on fire, it's so electric and perfect.

Sage speaks first "Well mom and dad want to take you to dinner and Ellie here was just saying how she would love to come".

I glare at her while Tanner moves his hand to rub the small of my back and says "Yeah, all my girl's together?"

I smile at him nodding and say "Yep" while then turning around glaring at Sage while she sends me and evil smile. She's so bad, but I love her anyway. I would have done the same thing if I had a brother.

The rest of the family quickly walks up and we turn towards the exit to leave. Tanner hasn't moved his palm from my back until we make it to the parking lot and towards his truck.

His parents parked on the other side so they told Tanner to meet them at the restaurant they picked together. I however parked near where I saw his Bronco so I wouldn't be lost. The place is huge though so I did get lost that's why I'm glad I was here an hour early, the chaos was crazy.

"Hey, I have my car here so I'll have to drive separate" I tell him while pulling away from his grasp.

"Nope, you will drive to your dorm and park it and I'll be right behind you to pick you up" he demands while smiling at me.

"Oh really, I will huh?" I ask while turning around and standing in front of him, I place my hands on his biceps, smiling at him as well.

"You will and you will pack a bag so you can stay with me at my dorm tonight" he says while smiling at me and flashing those pearly white teeth.

My heart skips a beat when he says that, so he's thinking what I'm thinking. I want to stay with him because I know he wants me to now.

"We already discussed you telling me what to do Tan" referring to our first conversation where he demanded I didn't talk to him. Look at us now, If I would have walked out we wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be here, falling for him.

"Fine" he says and drops to booth his knees in the parking lot while placing his gym bag on the concreate. He looks up at me and says "Baby will you please do me the honor of dropping your car off at your building and riding with me to dinner? And will you please stay with me tonight so that the monster under my bed won't get me again?" all that while smirking at me.

"Yes, and I'm sorry your monster scares you! Now was that so hard?" I fire back at him laughing.

He gets off of his knees smiling, "Yes my arthritis is flaring up again" while pretending to limp like an old man. He's so cute and goofy, and I absolutely love it.

I laugh as I get to my car door he walked me over to and tell him "Oh but babe, your arthritis is non-existent" while hitting his butt cheek.

"I'm happy you came" he whispers as I smile and rub the sides of his biceps as he holds my hips. I love the way his tanned, warm, and soft muscles feel under my hands.

"I'm happy to. I wanted to come for you but I did get lost, this is a lot bigger than what I anticipated" I whisper as I look over at the stadium as he looks away.

"Just a little bit, I hope it wasn't to bad" he mumbles as I pull his head to mine. I know that look, he's sad about what I said and I didn't mean it in a bad way. I wasn't mad, I was frustrated that this was so big but I'd do it all over again for him.

"Listen to me, I was so happy to come here and I loved watching you play. Who knew you were so hot while throwing a football?" I ask as he grins and I rub my finger over his left dimple and stare at him in awe. He's beautiful and he's mine.

He kisses me long and hard for a solid five minutes before smiling and tapping my butt in return. I get in my car and wait for him to go to his truck. He looks so sexy walking to it and jumping in.

I pull out the parking lot with him right behind me and drive straight to my dorm. I'm so nervous to stay with him but I know I want to.

When we arrive I run up to his window and tell him 5 minutes with my fingers. He smiles at me and shakes his head as I jog through the doors up the stairs and to my room.

Brooke went to the game today to and from the looks of it, she is not in our joined bathroom or her room. I start packing up my essentials and open my bra and underwear drawer.

I pull out a hot red bra and matching thong and put it in my bag. It's what Brooke gave me and I hope he likes it, I'm not used to wearing them and I only do when I have on shorts, leggings, or jeans. Not when I wear a dress because I feel naked. I don't know how to be sexy but, I hope he likes that I try, I'm just nervous he won't like what I have to offer. I don't have condoms though so I hope he has some in case we decide to go there. I can't get pregnant now if I choose to have sex.

Finally ready three minutes later, I jog back down the stairs and out the door towards his truck. He pushes the door open from the driver's side and takes my bag and puts it in the backseat.

He helps me in quickly and he drives out toward the freeway. Soft music plays in the background as we enjoy the silence between us. He looks so sexy gripping the steering wheel in his hand and holding his fingers on the radio with the other.

He places his hand on my thigh and plays with the rips in my shorts. My core is so hot I'm sweating. He hasn't touched me in a while because we didn't want to take our relationship there yet and ever since the first time I have been waiting on him to do it again and again. I know now that I'm ready, and I know he is to.

I know that I wanted to go slow though so I'm glad he didn't make me, I'm ready now, finally. He finally speaks "So, do I get 'my something later now'?"

I laugh remembering what I told him while showing him my bra strap. "Well we have to make it through dinner but, If you be a good boy we will see, How about that big guy?"

He smirks at me and pushes his finger across my core while driving and watching the road. I grip his hand on top of my core and stop him from moving anymore.

I look up at him dazed and say "You better stop before we have to make a detour" while clenching my thighs around his hand still right between my legs. He rubs his finger more as I feel the front of my panties flood. He's ready to touch me too, I'm glad we're on the same page.

His gaze darkens and he removes his hand to put it on my knee a second later. I tighten and cross my legs together thinking about his hands, his strong, and muscular hands.

He laughs and tickles my waist as I giggle and swat his hands away, I'm super ticklish and he just found out.

"Stop or you will not get anything later. I might pee!" I demand as I grab his hand and push it off of me and back in his lap. I move it and let it go only for him to move it back every time until I occupy his hand in mine.

"Ass" I whisper as he pinches my finger causing me to squeal.

"I know it's beautiful right" he responds back motioning to the left to show me on his cheeks under his sweatpants.

"Yes, I'd tap that" I speak as I reach forward and spank the side of it causing him to laugh. He's learned how to deal with me, I pick at him so bad. I tell him he's sexy, I call him all types of odd names and I love it. He even let me put a facial on him and put his hair back with one of those hair towel type of things that I took from Brooke. It was priceless and although he ate almost all the cucumbers I took from the dinning hall it was hilarious watching him with green stuff on his face.

He smiles at me while he pulls into the restaurant which I see now is some local wing place, and leans over kissing me on the lips while sucking my tongue. I moan and grip his hair in my palms.

"I missed you today" I tell him as he pulls away and rests his forehead on mine.

"All I can think about is you" he says as I smile and blush. I'm glad he feels that way too. I lean up and kiss him again and tug his hair, hard.

We don't stop though, before I know it I'm pulled over to his side of the truck and I am straddling his muscular thighs. I feel his calloused hands on my hips. I grip his hair and tug it while pushing myself to him.

He pulls away from my lips to breathe and says "Damn baby, You better stop before I take you right here in my driver's seat and I'd rather not do it right here."

"Really I should?" I whisper on to his lips while grinding myself into his hardened length and reaching down into his sweatpants and palming him through his briefs.

"You should before I make your cum run down your fucking long legs from only using my hands" he whispers back to me as I remove my hand and grip his placing it on my waist.

"I like the idea of that" I whisper into his ear while biting on it softly. Hopefully he likes this because it's so out of my comfort zone and I want to make him happy.

"Later baby" he whispers into my ear while kissing it. I giggle as he licks the side of my face causing me to squeal.

"Tanner, you aren't a dog!" I demand while I take my palm and wipe the lick on my face. I push my hand on to his shirt as he grabs it and pulls me closer to him.

"But I want to be your companion forever" he cockily tells me back as I raise and eyebrow at him.

"That's good since I'm a bitch" I demand back as he laughs and holds my thighs in his hands.

"Ellie, I lo-" he goes to say as I laugh and smile at Tucker outside the window trying to get the girl in the parking lots number.

"What? Sorry, look at Tucker" I push away and back to my seat as Tanner leans up and laughs at him and I almost open the door until I see Noah coming up and tapping on Tanner's window yelling "Bro, it's all you can eat wings tonight!"

I laugh and hop out of the truck following the whole family inside with Tanner and I's hands held tightly together as he rubs my hand with his.
