"Does he really have to come for supper? I mean it's not like he lives here anymore, right?" Julie asked as she set the table. It was six o'clock and Tim still wasn't there. Julie hoped that he wouldn't show up at all, but just as she was putting a plate in the empty space there was a knock on the door and her heart rate sped up. Julie knew it was Tim behind their front door she could just feel it. Her mom answered the door and said, " Well hello, Tim, come on in. As soon as the sauce is done we can eat. So how are things at home with you and Billy? Is everything ok? Eric is in the garage if you want to go join him," "Um, yes ma'am everything is going fine. Thank you," Julie heard Tim answer politely then she saw him walk into the garage where her father was setting up the ping-pong table. He didn't even acknowledge my presence, Julie thought as she set the final piece of cutlery on the table.
"Hey, Coach, Mrs. Taylor said you were in here. Do you mind if I come in?" Tim asked. " Not at all, Son, come on in. It's nice to have you back in the house. I just can't win with all these girls in the house," Eric smirked then he said seriously, "How have things been, Tim? I know the last time you were here I acted a little crazy, but I thought that you got Julie drunk and were going to try something. I'm sorry for that, Son, I really am." "It's no problem, Coach, really," Tim mumbled. "Yes, it is. I should have asked you what you were doing instead of throwing you out like that," Eric apologized. "I'm fine with it, Coach, I haven't even thought about it since it happened. I'm over it," Tim shrugged. "Come on, ya'll, supper's ready," Tami called. Tim and Eric trotted to the table, and Tim not thinking sat in his normal place next to Julie. Julie scooted away from Tim not wanting to feel the heat of his body next to hers. Tim looked at Julie she was wearing jeans and a tank-top nothing spectacular, but she looked still looked hot to Tim in fact she was hotter in jeans and a tank-top than when she dressed sexy. Supper passed in a blur and before Tim and Julie knew it, it was over. "Thanks for supper, Mrs. Taylor, it was great, but I really have to get going. Homework and all that ya know.
Yeah, I'll just bet its homework that he is doing, Julie thought as she was clearing the table. She didn't even look up as Tim walked out the front door. If he can ignore me then I can ignore him, she thought. Julie knew she was thinking too much about Tim Riggins, and turned her attention to doing the dishes then working on her homework.
After the supper dishes were through and Julie's homework was done she went into her room and thought about the supper that her family had shared with Tim. It wasn't the first time that they had shared a meal with him and secretly Julie hoped it wouldn't be the last. She knew if she thought about Tim for to long she would end up with a heartache the size of Texas. In fact her heart ached already, and she didn't want to feel like that again. But since she was being honest with herself, Julie had to admit that she had already lost her heart to Tim and she almost hated herself for it. Julie had loved Tim since he had gotten hurt in the third game last season. That love had grown into full-blown heartache three weeks ago when Tim had saved her from certain rape at the hands of Riley even though she hadn't admitted it until now her heart had been aching for a long while Julie had just covered it with schoolwork and trying to stay busy with Gracie. Julie tried to think of something else but nothing worked everything she thought of brought her back to Tim Riggins and that sexy smirk of his.
Monday morning rolled around without fail, and Tim was still a little hung over from that weekends partying. He saw Julie standing at her locker digging through her book bag and couldn't help but wonder what she was so desperately searching for. He doesn't get the chance to go over and ask because the bell rings and Julie hurries into her first period class. Tim grabbed his books and jetted to his class still thinking about the look on Julie's face as she was searching her bag. He was so distracted that he didn't even hear the teacher call his name for roll. "Mr. Riggins, I know you aren't used to being here this early, but you must know how to answer present when your name is called for roll. I'm sure you do make it to some of your classes," his teacher said when Tim snapped out of his daydream. "Yes ma'am," was Tim's only response. The rest of the day he tried to avoid Julie as much as possible but when lunch came around he could see her sitting at her normal table with her friend Lois and that was enough to get him thinking about her again. Damn I can't even be in the same area as her what is wrong with me, Tim asked himself. He got up and half ran half walked to his truck he needed to get away for an hour or two. No one even cared if he skipped a few classes he was Tim Riggins star fullback of the Dillon Panthers people made exceptions as long as Coach never found out he would be alright. Tim headed straight for Jason's house Six was the only person who Tim even wanted to talk to about his little Julie dilemma. Hell the only reason he even considered Julie was because he couldn't have Lyla. Yeah right, a little voice inside his head screamed at him, but he chose to ignore it because he really wanted to believe that it was only because Lyla had rejected him once again.
Tim knocked on the door not really knowing if Street was home he did have a job after all but to Tim's surprise the door opened and Jason Street greeted Tim with a smile. "How ya been Six?" Tim asked, "I'm going to be a father," Jason blurted out. "Damn, and I thought I had problems," Tim smiled then Jason ushered Tim into the apartment. "Na, man I'm actually really cool with the idea of being a father. All the doctors said that I couldn't have kids. This is my miracle and I'm not going to give it up," Jason said he looked really happy about the idea so Tim didn't say anything more about it. "I'm having chick problems too. Ya know the coaches daughter Julie? Well I can't seem to get her out of my head. I know it's only because Lyla is with this Chris guy, but it is still bugging me. I went over to the Taylor's for supper on Saturday and without even thinking about it I sat next to her then today at school I couldn't even answer to my name because I was thinking about how sexy she looked digging in her book bag for something. She was biting her bottom lip and it was so hot I couldn't stop thinking about it. I don't know what's wrong with me," Tim explained. Street laughed and Tim looked like he had just been run over. "Oh, come on Riggs, you like the girl. You never think this much about a girl unless you are going after them, and for your sake I really hope you aren't gonna go after Julie Taylor. That could mean death to you and your football career. Not to mention that every girl you touch ends up getting hurt and that really would spell your death. Coach Taylor doesn't like when you mess with his family. Did you hear about that ex-boyfriend of the coach's wife. I wouldn't have wanted to be that guy when Coach got done with him, no sir," Street said.
