"Jesus, Chris...AGAIN? Do we need to go get a Men's ball?"
Chris Weathers grimaced.
"Shut up, Jacqueline!"
Jacqueline Sullivan turned to Pam Warren.
"Can we go back to the beginning, Pam? Can we recut the whole segment, and make it about how much Chris sucks at throwing a Women's football?"
Warren, the famous College Football television sideline reporter, let out a warm chuckle.
"Don't worry, Jacqueline!" Warren assured. "We got plenty of quality content between you guys! The interplay between you too is, frankly, HILARIOUS! People are going to love it!"
Warren turned from one quarterback to the other.
"Don't worry, Chris! This is just some final B-roll of the two of you throwing together. We'll make sure to edit it so you come out looking fine!"
"What?" Jacqueline protested. "I think everyone should SEE: Chris Weathers can dominate the UDW Paladins, but he CAN'T dominate a football that's one size smaller than he's used to!"
As this exchange played out, Kelsie McCollum stood ten feet away, beaming with happiness. She still couldn't believe that her wonderful new world actually existed!
For the past several hours, Kelsie had cheerfully tagged along with Chris and Jacqueline as Pam Warren and a camera crew followed the two quarterbacks around Perion University. Warren was filming a segment that would air twice in the coming days: Both before the college football Bowl Game that Chris would be traveling to play in within a few days...and before the College Flag Football Playoff Semifinals that were scheduled for the coming weekend.
The storyline for the segment, of course, centered around the friendship between Perion's two Star Athletes. The Jacqueline & Chris relationship was a perfect advertisement for the sport of football--in all of its forms--and the TV Networks wanted in.
The whole thing, of course, was also a massive advertisement for Perion. The University had rolled out the red carpet for Warren, offering her and her crew every bit of the access that they had asked for: Footage of Perion Tackle Football Practices, footage of Perion Flag Football Practices, footage of Chris and Jacqueline strolling across campus in their Perion-branded cold weather apparel, and, now, finally, footage of a game of catch on the Flag Football field...
...and Kelsie had been present for all of it.
In public!
As Chris Weathers's girlfriend!
Kelsie could scarcely believe it was true...But here they were, together, finally, for everyone to see! Kelsie's dream of being with this enormous, sweet boy--the dream that had existed since the first day that she had arrived at Perion--had finally become a reality!
And there was no doubting just how truly public their relationship now was: Chris seized every opportunity he could to hug or kiss his shy blond sweetheart in front of other people. He had even, on camera, made multiple references to "My Girlfriend Kelsie" during his interviews today--as Kelsie had stood nearby in red-faced shock. Who knew if any of that would actually make it into the finished segment...but still, it was all enough to put Kelsie on Cloud Nine!
Chris, meanwhile, was as happy as Kelsie had ever seen him. Beyond that, he was brimming with confidence: The team leader with the killer instinct who had stunned the College Football world against the University of the Divine Word was here to stay...a fact that Chris absolutely could not wait to prove to the world when he took the field in his bowl game.
Jacqueline, for her part, had always radiated this level of self-belief, and she had no problem saying so. If Pam Warren had been searching for some sort of "One cocky quarterback helps another quarterback recapture his own cockiness!" narrative...well, she now had hours of camera footage to support that narrative.
And...well...as for how Chris Weathers had actually recaptured his edge...
Kelsie still blushed every single time that she thought about it.
She still couldn't believe that she had actually sat there--right in front of Chris--and touched Jason Lim like that, and then let him...in any case, Chris had made it quite clear in the days that followed: Kelsie was not to ever, ever ever ever ever ever, do that again!
But they both knew that it had worked.
They both knew that--as Chris had leapt to the bed, smacked his hand across his very-naughty girlfriend's tender backside, and then reclaimed her with dominant, hard passion against the wall of that bedroom--the competitive fire within Chris had been rekindled...
...And, of course...that moment had certainly not been the last time that Kelsie had savored the dominance of Chris's spanks, or reveled in the controlling touch of his fingers against her neck, or lustily demanded stroke after stroke from his massive penis as she tasted his passionate lips.
If anything, the joyous freedom that the couple now had to celebrate their affection publicly had only taken their private eroticism to another level.
Kelsie would walk down the hallways of Howard Hall, holding her famous man's giant hand, knowing that the entire campus knew that he now belonged to her...and by the time they would arrive at either of their dorm rooms, they each knew: Kelsie's lips were going to hungrily wet Chris's cock the second that they closed the door behind them...and then, who knew what they were going to do next.
All of it, this entire, magical new reality, had been made possible by Kelsie's intrepid passion, by Chris's performance against UDW...and by the cunning plans of Kelsie's friends.
Jacqueline had never told Kelsie exactly what had taken place within the gilded walls of Pi Pi Pi during her tete-a-tete with Cooper Deering...but since then, Kelsie had finally been able to embrace the fact that everything that her friends had attempted on her behalf had, truly, worked! Each and every day, Kelsie savored the degree to which Alexia, Jacqueline, Kaykay, Jason, and Erika had fought for her and supported her.
Kelsie had once been a timid, vulnerable, lonely girl, praying that she could find belonging within an elite sorority like Pi Pi Pi. Now, she was blessed to have a caring, vibrant, diverse group of friends...as well as the man of her dreams!
"Okay, I think we're good!" Pam Warren announced. "Jacqueline! Chris! This day has been a pleasure! I will let you know as soon as we've edited it all together!"
The journalist and her crew shook hands with the tall, red-headed quarterback, and with the even taller, brown-haired quarterback...and soon, Kelsie, Chris, and Jacqueline were the only ones remaining on the Flag Football field.
"Damn! What a day!" Chris grinned. He jogged over to his pale blond girlfriend, and, in one smooth, effortless motion, swept Kelsie off of her feet and into his arms.
"You were amazing!" Kelsie laughed. "You BOTH were!"
"I mean...I know I WAS amazing," Jacqueline returned. "I don't know about 'Shitty Throws Magee' over there. The betting line for Chris's game is gonna shift by a touchdown when everyone sees how bad he was just now."
"I'm holding my girlfriend," Chris answered, "So you'll have to just IMAGINE me giving you two middle fingers right now."
Kelsie looked up longingly into the eyes of her chuckling, happy, gorgeous man. She was never going to get tired of Chris saying "my girlfriend." And Chris's sweet lips were just so close right now, and so soft, and so kissable...
...And now, Kelsie was making out with her perfect man right in front of her fire-haired friend.
Jacqueline rolled her eyes.
"Get a room, Kelsie!" she joked.
"And by 'a room', I mean: The apartment that I literally pay for just so you two can fuck in it."
Jacqueline turned and headed toward the parking lot.
"Let's go, Chris!" she commanded. "I'm driving! I'll drop you two off, and then you can find your own way back."
"After all, I didn't sign that three-month lease so you could bend Kelsie over in a DORM ROOM."
****************
As Jacqueline piloted her Range Rover away from the apartment, she cast a glance back into her mirror at Kelsie and Chris.
The happy couple were walking, hand-in-hand, up to the front door of the building.
Look at those two sweethearts. Damn it if it isn't all working out for them! So far, so good!
As Jacqueline turned the corner, one small detail within the sappy scene she had just observed crept into her subconscious...but Jacqueline thought little of it.
Until a few minutes later, when her phone rang.
On the other end of the line was Jason Lim.
"Hey!" Jason announced. "I'm sorry to bug you...I know you've had a busy day..."
