Injury is a football players worse nightmare, and just my luck it happens to me.
While playing in our first preseason game at home, the falcons defense decided to blitz. One of their defensive players came right at me just as I was throwing the ball. He hit my wrist, my throwing wrist to be exact.

According to the doctor, it was a only a small fracture and I'd need to take off from football a couple weeks to heal. Hopefully I'm fully healed by the time the season opener comes around or I'm gonna lose my shit.

This leads me to my current predicament, sitting in bed in front of the tv in sweats and shirtless with my right wrist wrapped up in a brace.

As I'm flipping through channels, I finally stop at ESPN. I tune in not surprised at all that I'm the topic of discussion

"This just in Giants Starting Quarterback Hunter Reece, sustained an injury during the the teams home preseason game. We still have yet to receive news on the severity of the injury but we will keep you updated" the reporter said

"Update these nuts" I said changing the channel, a little annoyed. I never really liked being headline news, that shits just annoying.

I finally landed on the USA network as they were giving a rerun of Law and Order: SVU.

My phone starts vibrating after a couple minutes of watching and I go to grab it with my right hand only to remember I injured it.

"This is annoying" I say to my self as I picked up my phone with my left hand to see an incoming call.

I see it's a call from Nadia which was unexpected if I'm being honest.

I quickly press 'accept' on my screen to answer "It's nice to finally hear from you" I say as a smile slowly appears on my face.

"Yeah" she says lightly laughing "I actually called to see if you're okay, I heard about your wrist"

"Oh I'm fine, it was just a fracture. How'd you find out about it?  I question

"You do realize your famous right?" She says laughing "but you're trending on twitter that's how I found out if I'm honest"

Damn even her fucking laugh is beautiful

"Oh makes sense" I said laughing with her, she had a point it was a stupid question to ask.

"thanks for checking up on me" I say seriously

"Yeah no problem"

"Hey, um, Nadia?" I say as a nervously scratch my head

"Yeah?" She questions

"Are you busy right now?"

"No not really what do you need?"

"Would you like to come over? I'm kind of home by myself and I wouldn't mind the company..." I trail off

"..." I hear no response on her end

"Just to chill" I quickly add

"Well not Netflix and chill, I wouldn't do that with you anyways, I mean you're my friend" I add in again

Maybe I should just shut my mouth before I spew out some other dumb shit

"I don't really kno-"

I cut her off "please Nadia, you really gonna say no to an injured guy—that's messed up" playfulness heard through my voice

"Ok fine! send me your address you whiner" she says laughing

"I'll text it to you"

"Ok" she said hanging up

To say I'm excited would be an understatement, I was cheesing really hard

I quickly got up, opened my dresser to grab a t-shirt and slipped it on. She should be here in about 20 mins, to kill time I decided to look through my snap.

A couple minutes later, she calls me

"You here?" I question

"Yeah I'm at the gate" she replies

"Alright I'll open it" I said hanging up

I headed downstairs and hit the open button for the gate with the key pad in the kitchen. I head to the door and open to see her standing there

"Hey-" I quickly cut her off dragging her inside with my left hand

"Hi, if you don't want to be photographed and on the cover of front page news I'd get inside"

"Okay then aggressive ass, Hi to you too" she says as I close the door

"Sorry, Hi" I said laughing as I go to give her a hug

Damn she smells good as hell

She pulls back first and looks around, "wow your place is freaking huge"

"Yeah would you like a tour?" I asked smiling at how adorable she looked looking around

"Oh definitely"

"Alright so first, the living room" I say walking towards there as she followed

I took me a minute to show her the whole house, considering I have hella rooms

"And finally, my favorite room" I said with a smile standing outside of door

"What's on the other side" she asked "if it's some Christian Gray type shit on the other side, I'm grabbing my shit and dippin"

I jokingly became serious just to fuck around with her

"Oh hell no, Hunter it was nice meeting you but I got this thing I gotta do-"

I cut her off laughing "I'm kidding, you should've seen your fucking face" I finally opened the door "it's my game room"

"You're an idiot, and I hate you" she says as she walks in looking around

"You're gullible" I say as my laughing starts to fade

"I'm not gullible" she says sticking her tongue out like a five year old

"You really thought I had a sex room?" I say smirking

"Well yeah you look like you a freak" then she stops "I mean like, you know, you can never put it past anyone..." she trails off "is that a pool table how cool" she says walking over to it

"Don't change the subject" I say as I walk towards her "I'm a freak huh"

"No I didn't mean it like that-" she says taking a step back

"Mmhm" I say smirking as I walked closer

"Hunter chill" she says rolling her eyes as she takes another step back hitting the pool table

"I ain't doing nothing" I say as I step in her space and grabbed the pool stick stepping back and walking to the other side "so are we gonna play or not?"

"You're fucking annoying" she says laughing

"What I do?"

"Whatever" she says "how you gon' play anyways, your wrist" she said pointing to it

"I got it, you just focus on beating me...which you can't"

She grabs the second stick "so what are the stakes?" She questions "if I win what do I get?" She says smiling

"Nah, the real question is what do I get?"
