Party Girl
Chapter 2
The next morning Sandy had a plan. However, she still didn't yet know enough about Eugene. What if she'd been lusting over a gay man or more likely one whose been hiding a girlfriend. She'd have to gently bring the topic around to sex. She'd prepared a few ways she could introduce sex into the conversation. It was a warm day in Lexington, the small suburb of Boston, and Sandy could see that reflected in Eugene's attire, he'd gotten more comfortable his clothing less formal. He'd gone from slacks and polo shirt to a pair of long shorts and a compression shirt that hugged his upper body like a second skin, showing off his muscular abs and chest. Years of playing basketball at the college level showed. Sandy hadn't prepared herself to see so much more of him. It made her lightheaded and aroused. She tried not to stare knowing that if she did she would seek and find the outline of his cock.
"I hope it's okay Doc, that I'm a little more casual today, I mean my attire. It's hard to find clothes in my size, nice ones. Shorts and shirts are easier."
He smiled hoping that it wouldn't be a problem. He quickly added that he'd ordered some things online, but they hadn't arrived yet.
"Of course,"
she replied, never realizing, and scolding herself, the problem it would be for such a large person to find clothing. She reassured him that it wasn't a problem. He continued, telling her that larger clothes cost more in addition to being harder to find. That made sense, she thought. It was another burden student athletes struggled with. She made some notes on her iPad before steering the conversation to his sexual preference.
She began by asking if he had any significant relationships, best friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, regular groups of friends that he hung out with? She was caught off guard when she heard him laughing.
"Boyfriends? Doc do you think I'm gay? No, Doc. I'm not gay. I have a few friends. My closest friends are back home in Gary... Indiana. I have a few friends back in Lincoln. I don't have any friends here. Not real friends, more like acquaintances. My agent is trying to be my friend."
He stopped, that was another issue, but he wasn't ready to go there.
Not taking the bait, Sandy continued,
"...And any girlfriends?"
He smiled.
"Well...sort of. Katrina, Kat. She's the best. But she'd not interested in all the hoopla surrounding the NBA, and the fuss my signing has become. She doesn't like being in the spotlight. It isn't her thing."
"Yes!"
she yelled inside, trying hard to keep her face neutral. Hearing only that he wasn't gay and that he did like girls, the girlfriend didn't matter, at least not immediately.
"How does that make you feel?"
Sandy asked trying to remain professional, putting her patient first.
"I don't know. I really like her, Katrina's sweet and we talk about everything. We mess around a little bit, but it's more about her intellect and how we complement each other. I like the way she thinks. I have to be honest Doc I miss her. I feel badly that's she's not around. She isn't just a fuckbuddy. Pardon my language. But I think she may be the one."
Sandy let that hang in the air for a bit. That could complicate things for her, then she had another thought and asked.
"So, you two are exclusive, no sex with others."
"Well...Kat's pretty conservative when it comes to sex. She's into only one guy at a time and she's not had that many boyfriends."
"And you?"
Dr. Mills asked looking up from her i-Pad.
"Well, Doc every girl seems to want me. Even you. I can see it. I know the look. But I'm pretty selective. I've had one or two on the side, but none are like Kat. She's the real deal. Now, here in Boston, there's no one special. I'm trying to stay focused."
"And does she know that you are fucking around on her, pardon my language."
That came out much harsher than she intended. She was annoyed. If a woman had men on the side she'd be considered a slut, but men, her mind was beginning to wander. This was becoming personal for her, and she became offended.
"She knows. She doesn't like it. We discuss it occasionally, but she gets it. And since she's not into the spotlight and all this celebrity stuff, she tolerates it. If we were to commit, I'd probably stop, and we've be exclusive."
Sandy thought that she could work with this. The alarm sounded ending their first two-hour session and as before Eugene left to grab some lunch and Sandy watched him, this time seeing the outline of his flaccid cock in his shorts. He was fucking with her. He knew she was attracted to him. And she knew she could fuck him if she wanted to. She did want to, but that would be unethical and could get her fired. She could lose her license. She'd have to play it cool and play hard to get. It would be tough; she'd have to pretend to be uninterested. That wouldn't be difficult, but it was necessary if she were to ever gain the upper hand.
The next several days were about the same. Sandy learned that Eugene's anxiety wasn't from a lack of confidence on the court, but from not having a confidant he felt comfortable talking to on a regular basis. There was the stress, too, of being drafted by the Boston Celtics, one of the leagues great NBA teams, in a city where basketball was a religion. There were high expectations, and he was unfairly being compared to the NBA legend, Bill Russell.
They agreed that she would work on that with him using hypnosis and other techniques she'd perfected that would help him to cope with his anxieties. After a few days she was beginning to see results. It was working. She helped him to focus on what he wanted and what was important. The Celtics were just the first step on a long road. To be the first player to play three major sports in a single year was a lofty goal. What remained most important was that he have fun while playing the game. The NBA Summer League was to begin July 6
th
in Las Vegas and Darius or DC as his teammates were calling him, would be ready. Dr. North, the coach and general manager of the Celtics were pleased with the way Darius was responding to his treatment. Whatever Dr. Mills was doing was working and they encouraged her to continue. The league insisted that Sandy attend the Summer League, and all her expenses would be paid. If Darius developed just half of his potential he could become the new face of the NBA. Sandy had never been to "Sin City" and was excited to learn what all the fuss was about.
As for Sandy and Eugene, they played cat and mouse, flirting a little but keeping it strictly business and professional. Sandy was confident that she could have him whenever she wanted. But not until after the eleven-day Summer League concluded. There would be plenty of time for hanky-panky later.
As the tournament began Darius didn't disappoint. All thirty teams were represented and if anything, the coaching staff asked Darius to play at only half of his dominance and that was plenty. His team would go undefeated through the contest. Darius had played so well that his minutes were shortened in the last few games to avoid any possible injuries. He'd provide big leads, and his teammates were called on to hold or increase those leads. They all did their jobs.
After accepting the winner's trophy there was a banquet and party, Darius surprised everyone when he arrived with Katrina Saunders on his arm. He'd flown her in the night before and introduced her as his college girlfriend. She'd be spending the next few days with him in Las Vegas. That came as no surprise. After the tournament most players and coaches did the same, bringing their families to Las Vegas as a little vacation before the rigors of preparing for the season began in earnest. The 2022-2023 Season was scheduled to begin October 24th.
When Eugene introduced Sandy to Katrina, the two women smiled cordially and laughed at Eugene's jokes as they silently sized each other up. When Katrina asked Eugene to get her a drink, he obediently complied, then the gloves came off.
"So, you're the shrink. I know you're going to fuck him. But that's all its ever going to be. Eugene is mine."
"Very direct. I like that."
Sandy said.
"And what makes you think that we're going to fuck?"
"You all want him. You "white women" especially, don't get me started. Do you think you are the first? He'll fuck you for a while. But he'll soon get tired of you, and he'll return to me. You see we have something you'll never have."
Sparring with the girlfriend in public wasn't a good look. But she couldn't let her have the last word.
"Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm his psychologist not his fuckbuddy, nor do I want to be,"
she lied.
"My job is to make sure his head is on straight and to make certain the Boston Celtic's asset is ready to play."
"Is that all he is to you, an asset? You may say so now, but I know different. Back off now or I'll have to cut you."
