A Date with Coach

Elizabeth added a spritz of perfume at the end. It was a rare off day, no game, no practice. And the Cocks had earned it. Seventeen and two as the season's end approached. And it was all thanks to Desean.

She sat across from Jamaal at the city's finest steakhouse, clinking her champagne flute with his. Her ... transactional relationship ... with Desean was an unspoken complication in their lives, but it wouldn't be overly complication unless it was consequently. And it would only be consequential if they won it all.

They dined, they laughed, they made love that night, enjoying the journey, but with trepidation about the destination.
