Chapter 37
A few days after Mason left Jessica they finally had their first date. They had talked about everything and really hit it off. On screen they played well together. Off screen they played really well. You couldn't find one without the other.
"So what's up?" Phil asked.
"Nothing." Jessica answered.
"You lie. You seem awefully happy lately." Phil said.
"It's not a crime to be happy." Jessica replied.
"So what's got you that way." Phil asked.
"Let's just say it's two things. One no one treats me like a kid anymore. Two I've finally got somethig I want." Jessica answered.
"You know I wanted you for my own, but then I know neither of us would have been happy." Phil said.
"True but you'll be there if anyone hurts me." Jessica replied.
Phil left her alone and soon Mason was by her side. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her.
"You okay?" Mason asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Jessica answered.
"There's something Mike had told me about an ex coming to visit." Mason said.
"Yeah, he doesn't believe I have a boyfriend. So he's coming Monday." Jessica replied.
"So do I know this boyfriend of yours." Mason asked.
"Yes you do. I wouldn't be with you all the time if it weren't you." Jessica answered.
"True." Mason said.
Mason let her go and soon the rest of the group joined them. Phil knew who was making Jessica happy and just knew if he did anything then, half of the lockerroom would kill him. So all Phil did was walk over and talked to the group. He reminded then of what they needed to be done.
