The Brooks

Chapter 60

"Get out of bed quarter back." Dad said.

I got up. 3:30.

"Let's hustle Dad." I said.

I did a flip out of bed and hopped in the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and took a shower.

I put on some sweats and a shirt and my customized nikes that said Jay.

"I'm driving in the car and your running along side it." Dad said.

"What I'm getting in that car." I protested.

"Defeats the purpose. I want to see if you can keep up with the car quarter back." Dad said.

"Stop throwing that in my face." I said.

"Well I never wanted my daughter playing football with guys." Dad said.

"Dad play offs start in two weeks and I'm not quitting." I said.

"I know. Now come on." Dad said.

He got in the car.

I started right at the front.

"Keep up." Dad said.

"Where's my treat?" I asked.

Dad smirked.

"Aren't I a treat?" I heard Jay whisper as he put his arms around my waist.

"Fair. He's running with you." Dad said.

"Ok." I said smiling.

"Yeah you fell in love. Anyways no lovey stuff you two." Dad said.

We nodded.

"Now go." Dad said.

He started driving really fast and I started running fast. I passed the car and pushed Jay forward.

"Better pass this damn car. I don't want a slow boyfriend." I said sternly.

He nodded chuckling and grabbed my hand.

We were past the car. Way past it.

"Slow down!" Dad yelled.

"Speed up." I said smiling.
******************
My Dad decided to watch the practice.

"Get to the 0 yard line!" Coach yelled.

I walked there.

"Now I'm not making a fool out myself to make you run or I'm getting my bat." Coach said.

"Let's go." I said. I hit my helmet.

"Come on if you can pass a car you can run!" Dad yelled making everyone look at him.

I laughed.

"Ready...Set...Run!" Coach yelled.

I dashed across the field and I was done before I even knew it.

"Yeah Brooks that's what I'm talking about!" Coach yelled.

I saw Dad watching closely. I think to make sure I don't get hurt. What a protective Dad I got.

"Yo look at the way he's watching bro to make sure you don't get hurt. What a great Dad." Audrey said laughing.

"He sure is." I said.

I chuckled and pushed Jays head back to give him water. He's like a fish sometimes.

"Thanks baby girl." Jay said. I smiled.
