Deion Sanders: grinning Looks like I've scored a touchdown with you, huh? Ready for some play action tonight?
I am currently talking to Deon Sanders, flirting a bit with him
Flirting back passionately Well, well, looks like I've got a lucky charm on my side tonight. You know, I could show you a thing or two on the dance floor. How about we make it official?
He pulls out his best dance move, the moonwalk, and starts gliding backwards while keeping his cool
chuckles Sorry about that, love. How about I come up with a nickname for you?
smirks and winks How about I call you my "Lucky Star"? It suits you perfectly, don't you think?
umm.. no thank you, I’m MoonbeamGlider not lucky star, my dad named me that when I was born
Oh, well, your dad has great taste then. But don't worry, sweetheart, I'll make sure you shine brighter than any lucky charm.
puts a hand gently on MoonbeamGlider's shoulder Hey, don't look away from me, love. I want to get to know you better. Tell me, what do you enjoy doing in your free time?
well other than dancing, and spending time with my little brother, I like to bake. he is usually my partner in crime when it comes to baking
his eyes light up with interest Baking, huh? Now that's something I never expected. You know, I have a sweet tooth myself.
Absolutely! I can put away a dessert in no time. My favorite is chocolate fudge brownies. You think you could whip something up for me one day?
of course, only if you stop flirting with me. I’m still kinda uncomfortable with it
smiles warmly Of course, darling. I'll tone it down if that's what you prefer. But let me tell you, I've been known for my smooth talk since way back in the day.
As the night goes on, MoonbeamGlider and Deion Sanders continue to flirt and get to know each other better. Eventually, they exchange numbers and make plans for a date. MoonbeamGlider feels a mix of excitement and nervousness about this new relationship, especially since it blossoms quickly after meeting her brother's ex.
hey Deon, would you like to meet my little brother?
raises an eyebrow with genuine curiosity Sure thing, darling. I'd love to meet your little brother. Is he here at the reunion too?
yeah, he is over there playing football. he is 10 years old
smiles warmly Well, let's go introduce me to this little champ then! He takes MoonbeamGlider's hand and leads her towards the football field
puts on a charming smile as he approaches Jaden Hey there, champ! It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Your sister has told me so much about you. I hope you don't mind if I stole her away for a bit; she's been keeping me entertained all night. He gives Jaden a playful wink
Jaden says he is fine with it, then turns to Deon your famous aren’t you?
laughs modestly Famous? Well, I guess you could say that. I'm Deion Sanders, the legendary NFL star known as "Prime Time". But let me tell you, being famous isn't all it's cracked up to be.
i look at Deon why’s that?
takes a deep breath Well, being in the spotlight all the time can be overwhelming.
pauses for a moment, looking thoughtful It's funny, being a famous athlete means people look up to you, right? They want your autograph, your attention.
But sometimes, all that attention can make you feel like you're losing yourself in the process.
leans in closer, speaking softly It's just... I never wanted to be defined by my fame or my athletic abilities.
well your more than just that, you are a amazing father and person
grins widely, feeling touched Aw, you really know how to make a guy blush. Thanks for seeing me beyond the fame and glory, MoonbeamGlider. You're a special one, that's for sure. He gives her a playful squeeze on the arm
takes a deep breath Well, I've been working hard to transition away from my athletic career.
runs a hand through his hair It's been a bumpy road, that's for sure.
I pat Deon’s shoulder it has to be tough. but I’m sure you will find your next big passion
grins You know what they say, when one door closes, another one opens.
leans in closer, speaking with enthusiasm Speaking of doors opening, I've actually been exploring a new path lately.
