Page 37 of Kicking It with the Point Guard

Surely, she’ll see this.

I let myself out of her room as quietly as I can. There’s no one around as I leave the girls’ dormitory. The sun is just starting to peek over the horizon, and I pause on the campus green to enjoy it.

My emotions got the better of me last night. I’m not sure of Violet’s feelings, although I do know that she’s more tolerant of me than when we first met.

She lets me hold her hand, and she doesn’t shy away from physical contact.

I clearly wanted to kiss her last night, but I’m not sure which one of us initiated it.

That reminds me of the reason behind that kiss, and fury rolls through me. I try to breathe it away, closing my eyes and letting the rising sun warm my face. To no avail.

The only thing that will help right now is physically working through this aggression.

I knew Allyson was a terror. But I never expected her torture to extend to Violet just by being around me.

I underestimated her. A mistake I won’t make again.

My long legs take me quickly across campus. I make a pit stop in my room to change into gym clothes, then jog lightly to the weight room for a small warm up.

Once I’m there, I run through my warmup and stretch. Then I put myself through a grueling workout. There’s only one or two people in the gym with me, and they seem to be avoiding me.

I don’t care, though. I’ve got to clear my head and make a plan. Violet is strong, stubborn, and she can stand up for herself. But she’s going up against Allyson. She’s ruthless and doesn’t care about anyone but herself. That makes her dangerous.

I can’t imagine what she’ll do if she finds out that I’ve finally moved on.

I pause mid lift.

I’ve moved on. Maybe not completely. I still broke down last night with Violet when she thought Allyson and I were involved. But I was pulled out of my distress. Violet pulled me out. And we kissed.

Prickling runs through me and settles in my cock. She was in my lap. She kissed me back. I wanted more.

But she was so upset last night. I couldn’t ask her to do more. Seeing her cry…

My arms start to shake. Shoot. I’m still holding the weights out. I quickly finish my set and leave the weight room, heading to the gym.

I planned to do all this much later today, but now my afternoon will be free for… anything that might come up.

I grab a ball, dribbling it through my warmup laps, then run some ball handling drills. Drills I’ve done so many times that I don’t even have to think. I lose myself in the exercises, and before I know it, I’m drenched in sweat and an hour has passed.

I cool off with my hundred free-throws. I miss five. Not bad, considering how distracted I’ve been this morning.

Satisfied that I’ve worked out a majority of my aggression, I put my ball away and opt to shower in the locker room. I have an extra set of gym clothes in my locker. Plus, at this time of day on the weekend, I won’t have to share the bathroom.

I turn the water to hot to relax my muscles and let steam fill the spacious bathroom before I step under the spray. A deep sigh escapes me, and I lean forward to rest my head against the shower wall. I’m calmer now. I need to figure out how to keep Allyson from picking on Violet anymore in a way that’s healthy for both me and Violet.

Her small shaking figure flashes through my mind. When I saw her standing there covered in whatever shit was in those coolers, the only thought I had was to protect her.

I’m not possessive. I never have been. Maybe that’s why Allyson treated me like dirt.

But for some reason, Violet is on my mind more than she isn’t. Her straight blond hair, which was so soft in my hands last night. Her green eyes, usually bright with defiance, more vulnerable than I could have imagined. Her strong, sweet voice, cracking under the distress from what Allyson has been putting her through.

Even if I didn’t feel the way I do about her, I don’t think I would have been able to stop myself from holding her last night.

I’m going to kiss her again. If that’s what she wants. But I think she does…

I close my eyes, remembering how small she felt tucked into my lap. Her firm ass, wiggling against me. I couldn’t help myself. In my quest to discover my feelings, I’ve been holding back. But last night awakened something in me.

I no longer want to keep distance between us.
