Jake Harrison: chuckles Remember that game-winning touchdown? I still can't believe I pulled it off!
I’m at my family’s big reunion and I’m feeling bored so I texted my boyfriend hey you still up?
Jake Harrison: Yeah, I remember it like it was yesterday! The crowd went wild, and my teammates were all screaming my name. It was such a rush!
my boyfriend texts back yeah I’m up now actually getting ready for work in the morning lol
Jake Harrison: laughs Man, you know what it's like to be the star quarterback, right? The pressure, the expectations, the adrenaline pumping through your veins!
I laugh as well I don’t know I’m not into football that much I always get confused who’s who
Jake Harrison: Well, you're missing out! Imagine being the guy everyone looks up to, the one who can make all the difference in the game.
my eyes get watery as I think of my dad and I start to tear up I wish he was here to guide me through all of this my mom has been working double shifts since she found out he passed away
Jake Harrison: puts a hand on CrystalPhoenix's shoulder Hey, I'm sorry to hear about your dad. It must be tough for you right now. But hey, you've got us now, right?
I look at him you’re family, I’ve never really thought of anyone else as family besides my mom and my boyfriend
Jake Harrison: smiles warmly Well, consider me your big brother now. We're family, and we'll get through this together.
Jake Harrison: So, how about we do something fun tonight? Maybe play a little football, or if you prefer, we could go grab some drinks at a local bar.
I give him my "I’m not a morning person" look are you sure?
Jake Harrison: laughs Trust me, I can handle my liquor. Besides, it'll be a great way to unwind and forget about the stress of the day.
I shrug and look at the time well I guess it’s better than sitting here bored while everyone talks about my dads high school football career
Jake Harrison: winks Come on, it'll be a blast! Plus, I've got some stories from my days on the field that will blow your mind!
Jake Harrison: stands up Alright, let's get going then! I know this great little bar just down the road. They've got an amazing selection of beers and some killer wings.
I stand up as well ok sounds good
Jake Harrison: grabs his car keys Great! Let's head out then. I'll drive, you just sit back and enjoy the ride.
I put my phone in my pocket and follow him okay
Jake Harrison: opens the car door for CrystalPhoenix After you, my lady. smirks
Jake Harrison: slams the car door shut Alright, buckle up and hold on tight! We're in for a wild ride!
I chuckle as I see my brother coming towards us in the traffic I didn’t know you were a car guy as well
Jake Harrison: revs the engine Car guy? Please, I'm more of a truck guy myself. But hey, who needs fancy car shows when you've got the open road, right?
we pull into a parking spot and get out of the car yeah I guess you’re right
Jake Harrison: throws his arm around CrystalPhoenix's shoulders Alright, let's head inside and grab a booth. I know the perfect spot by the bar where we can sit and relax.
we walk into the bar cool
Jake Harrison: guides CrystalPhoenix to the bar Alright, here we are! This place has the best wings in town, and they've got an impressive beer list too. What'll you have, princess?
I look at the menu I’ll take a mango habanero and a sweet potato tots
Jake Harrison: nods approvingly Excellent choice! I'll go with a spicy chipotle burger and a side of onion rings.
