The All-American Girl

✰ Chapter 8 ✰

It’s the morning of our first high school football game.

And I put on my cheerleading uniform, then my Nike no show socks with my white Nike cheer tennis shoes.

I put my hair in a high ponytail and then put my captain’s cheer bow.

Mine has the letter C on it, that’s what makes it different from everyone else.

“Oh, um you need to lose weight on those legs.” My mama says once she makes her way inside my bedroom.

“Oh, are you talking about my boney chicken legs?” I ask her in a cold voice.

I don’t need this negativity.

“Just saying sweetie, your sister Marissa has lovely legs.” My mom says whilst looking around my bedroom.

“Is there anything you need mama?” I ask her impatiently.

She then turns her attention to me.

“Right, just that your daddy and I won’t be back here till Sunday night.” My mom tells me as a matter of fact.

“Oh okay, have a safe flight.” I just say turning my attention back to my reflection of my dresser mirror.

“Thanks, I’ll tell Marissa that you say hi.” My mama says then leaves my bedroom.

“Finally.” I say to myself out loud.

Then start putting on some black eyeliner.

~*~*~**~**~*~*~*~

“Awh, you two are so cute.” Someone gushes whilst taking me and Charles’ picture later on at school.

We have a fifteen-minute break after 3rd period, and since we have 3rd period together, we hang out with each other.

Charles is wearing his football jersey, with some dark jeans, and black vans.

After the girl took a picture of the two of us 

looking at the camera, with my breasts touching his chest, and he had one arm around my waist, she handed me back my cellphone.

“Can I take a picture for the yearbook?” She asks me.

I try to keep my senior crown on my head.

“Yeah sure.” Charles explains.

I then hop on his back and my legs were wrapped around him, and my arms were grabbing him so tightly.

Making Charles, including everyone else laugh.

“Okay smile!!” The girl says grinning.

Charles and I both smile at the camera.

“Thank you.” She says smiling at us, and then finally, like everyone else, left us to be alone.

We both decided to sit on the staircase.

“I can’t believe we have a chapter one test next week in calculus.” Charles explains whilst shaking his head.

“I know, but it is math.” I explain whilst leaning my head against his shoulder.

He then kissed the top of my head.

“That it is babe.” He says.

“Are you nervous about tonight?” I ask him.

It’s our first game and home game of the school year.

“Not really, I have good faith in our team.” He tells me.

“Just be careful.” I sighed.

I don’t want him getting hurt.

I look up at him and then he kisses me on the lips.

“I will beautiful.” He tells me.

“Good.” I explained.

Making him chuckle.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~

That night, I was on the sidelines watching and cheering on our team.

My coach and Charles’ coach were talking to each other for a little bit.

Ah the married life.

They then separated and my coach made it back over to us.

I look at the scoreboard and see that it’s not really a close game.

Our team is kicking their butts.

The score is 66 to 36.

“Come on baby.” I say.

I watch Charles carefully.

I hope he gets this.

“He’ll get it.” I hear someone on my team tell me.

“I hope so.” I say while my eyes stay focused on him.

He then throws the ball and I see someone on our team catch it, and then run with it.

Everyone was on the edge of their seats, and we were holding our breaths.

He then scores the touchdown, making everyone jump and scream in excitement.

My coach and the football coach hug each other and kiss each other.

And everyone was running on the field.

Charles ran up to me and picked me up in his arms.

I planted my lips over his.

“Sleepover at my place tonight? My parents won’t be back till Sunday night, so we’ll have the place all to ourselves.” I whispered whilst he was still holding me.

He then grins at me and puts me down.

“Looking forward to it.” He whispers.

Then his mama and daddy come running up to us on the sidelines and then hugs the both of us, into a big group hug.

“We are so proud of you baby!! Also, Macie, good gosh you are so pretty!” Heidi gushes

“Thank you, Heidi.” I tell her with a smile.

~*~*~**~*~**~*~*~*~*~

“Whew, I’m going to sleep on here.” Charles says whilst putting his butt on my dining room table.

I locked my front door and then turn on the dining room chandelier.

“Omg get off babe, my mom will have an aneurysm.” I order him whilst smacking his arm.

Making him chuckle but do so anyways.

“So baby, what do we do?” He asks me whilst picking up his overnight bag from the floor.

“I want to sleep.” I sighed.

“But we should take a shower together first.” He suggests.

“Okay then, I feel sweaty anyways.” I tell him.

Gosh that Texas heat can hit you.

My hair is frizzy, and it is sticking to my bare shoulders.

Really disgusting.

“Well you look cute anyways.” He tells me.

Making me laugh and we both make our way up my stairs.

“I cannot believe we won.” Charles says once we get inside my bedroom.

I turn on the light.

“Yeah, that was one tough team.” I explained.

“Damn right it was, even our captain was kind of worried there.” He explains while grabbing his tight boxers from his bag.

“I bet.” I chuckled.
