We dominated. First game of the season at home in front of 70,000 folks, it was complete pandemonium. We were only favored to win by a touchdown, only for the final score to be seven them, to our 49.
"The number six team in the country from the big, bad conference, loses miserably to the number 25 team. Guess there will be some changes with the reporters' opinions after today," coach said to us after the game.
I received my kudos as I caught nine passes for 239 yards and three touchdowns, all in the first half. Davis went off, too, for he picked off three of the other team's passes, even when the ball wasn't thrown his way as both quarterbacks for the other team that played were scared of him. The best part of it all: professional scouts allegedly littered the stands, and any or all of the guys from our team down to the third string, got a chance to showcase their skills. Boosters, alumni, and of course fans tied to the program showed love after we all showered and left the stadium, and my mom, who was watching from Chicago, was high pitched the entire conversation we had when I made it back to the dorm.
"My baby, you guys won! And not one, not two, but three touchdowns?! I'm so proud of youuuuuuuu," she screamed.
Her approval was what I played for at this point as I knew she was my biggest cheerleader. She had me so amped when I got off the phone with her that I wanted to go and workout in the gym, to get stronger, faster, and better. I got dressed to work out some more, when a text hit my phone.
"Hey rook. Whatchu up to," asked Davis. "You kilt their asses today."
"Man, you went nuts, too. They didn't want to throw to your side, and yet you still snagged them passes," I rebuttled.
"So what's up for tonight? Wanna celebrate," he asked.
I was a little reluctant. After that night during the spring, I kept my head low with him as I didn't know what to think. Surely, I enjoyed that evening, but was this what my life had come to? I knew that whenever we practiced after we didn't necessarily go hard (no pun intended) on each other out of respect and trying to stay healthy, but this man fucked me, he fucked me, and I liked it! As many broads I had chasing me, in my messengers, passing notes, I still liked the idea of eating and poking vagina, but I knew I liked being poked the same way, and Davis, well, he wanted to poke me some more.
"Come through. I'm solo tonight. Planning to go out and get a burger, then, have a couple drinks, smoke, and chill in the apartment," he told me. "Javon, please come thru?"
I did notice that Davis wasn't hanging around his entourage as much as of late. I knew he had to protect his image to look good for the pros, but he seemed distant with some of his normal crowd since he "inducted" me that night. I still played my position as the hot shot freshman receiver, and acted as if I was tapping everything from cheerleaders to fine ass female tutors, but deep down, I did want a second round with Davis. I'd end up accepting his offer, giving my conditions.
"We don't do what we did the first time," I told him.
"LOL, so no smoking or drinking," he asked me.
I knew he was being sarcastic, but I reiterated I was coming and needed to know what time on the grounds we didn't get lewd.
"Press conference later on with CBS Sports, but you can swing by round eight," he told me.
I got a fresh cut, bought a new outfit, then texted my mother and sisters for a bit until I caught the bus to make it to his place.
"Damn, you could've called, I would've scooped you," he told me as I approached his front door.
We shook hands and hugged, stopping short of kissing as he eyed me up and down.
"Remember what I told you," I said to him.
