Football Life

Offseason Team Activities

Dakota

I woke up a few days later breathing a calm sigh. Everything was done, all I needed to do was do my job. It was still a bit overwhelming to me that I was a professional football player. I remembered what Jerry told me that day. I picked up my phone and checked the balance in my bank account. Let me tell you, I had to refrain from screaming and waking up Jaylon.

" 15 Million Dollars..." I whispered to myself. I was already thinking of ways to use it. Should I buy my apartment? Get my car? Use it to add to my room? Use it for charity? I had so many ideas for how to spend this money.

I spent time on my phone this morning. I woke up at 5:15 am, and OTA's start at 10:00 today. The team decided to spend our first day of OTA's going bowling. It was a great team builder. It would be a bit competitive, however, I was looking forward to getting to know my new teammates. Especially the offense, since I play on that side of the ball. I decide to get up and walk around a bit. I was in this big house with Jaylon, I always knew he had this house, I've just never seen it all. So far, I know about his room, the living room, dining room, kitchen, and guest rooms. I saw a door at the end of a long hallway and I decided to open it. It revealed a sports-themed room. He had jersey's from dudes he swapped with, old school jersey's, pictures of old players, a big screen playing film, a shelf with game balls on it. It was so much to take in. 

" I see you gathered the energy to explore," Jaylon said, startling me, " You found my favorite room."

" Don't scare me like that, and yes, I decided to walk around a bit. It's 5:35, and I'm not tired."

" Well, there's a diner open right now where we could go get some food. Wanna go?"

" Of course you know food is the key to my heart" I laughed while brushing past him to go back to my room to cleanse. I took a moderately long shower, and immediately after putting unscented lotion on. I then took some body oil and put that on too. It was my favorite, Jaylon's as well. He always thought it made me smell like skittles.

I picked out my outfit for the day. 

Risky for breakfast yeah, but we're going to the bowling alley after it. I put on some deodorant, and put my shirt and pants on. I went over to my closet and got out my black and white checkerboard vans and slipped them on with white ankle socks. I decided to do a wash and go for my curly hair, so all I put into was a little bit of my diva curl product to enhance my curls. With a spritz of perfume, I was ready.

" Hey Jay, I'm ready!" I yelled while walking to the kitchen to grab an apple. I didn't want to eat anything more since I was going out to breakfast.

" I'm coming, one second" he shouted from his room, which was 2 doors down from my room.

I sat at the counter eating my apple when my best friend Noel calls me.
