Why does that sound like a threat? Shouldn’t you be worried about catching balls?

It’s not a threat, it’s a promise

I need to see if our lesson is paying off, and if not…

If not, what?

Then I will continue giving you sexy lessons until they won’t even let you on the field anymore because you’re so sexy

shut up lol

Are you ready for the game?

Hell yeah

Are you ready for brunch tomorrow?

I’m always ready to see you

Just let me take the lead

Will they know I’m a cheerleader? I don’t think they should know

I’ll tell them you’re an artist… by the way, I have a project for you

An art project?

A sexy project

…

no

You don’t even know what it is

I have a bad feeling about it
