Let Me Show You

Blake

I hate jocks. They think I'm weak, that they can throw their size around to intimidate me for an easy A.

It's why I refuse to tutor them.

When my sister begs me to help one of her friends from the football team, I don't have the heart to say no.

At first glance, Cooper looks like any other jock but he's quick to prove me wrong.

He's a social butterfly, I'm an introvert.

Somehow we manage to build a friendship between us. One that shouldn't work, yet it does.

The more time I spend with him the more I start to notice something inside me is changing. Feelings I've never experienced before cause me to question everything I thought I knew about myself.

I feel like I'm drowning, like my whole world is changing. And the person who stands by me, holding my hand through it all is him. Cooper.

He came into my life and turned it upside down in the best way. I just hope I make it out in one piece.

Getting a tutor is the only thing that will save me from getting kicked off the football team and losing my scholarship.

The situation might not be ideal, but I'm not at all mad about spending time with my new tutor.

Blake is cute, grumpy and quiet. The total opposite of me.

I find myself intrigued, wanting to know more.

It doesn't take long before I find myself falling hard for the one person I can't have.

Not just because he's my tutor, but because Blake doesn't like men. He also doesn't seem to like women either.

But as time goes by, I'm starting to think maybe that might not be true. Even though he might not be ready to see it just yet.

That's okay. I'll wait. I'll be the friend that he needs. Stay by his side. And support him however I can.

Because it's too late, I've already fallen hard and fast for Blake and I don't see me turning back any time soon.
