Chapter 3: Friday Night Lights

AN: This chapter takes the place of football events in Season 4 Episode 10. After writing this chapter I realized a logistical nightmare created by the series' writers. Episode 1 of the series is Christmas, Football season is always in the fall for High School. With the Prom 2 episodes away (held in April/May) and Dani Tanner being born 2 weeks later it throws off the entire series. Dani being born May/June (I always guessed June) means she was conceived in late September/early October. That means the baby was in the womb for an excessive amount of time. So, to make things more linear I would say while Christmas was Ep 1 the events of that episode really falls between 10 and 11 as 11 takes place right before 12.

It was November in (still) sunny San Francisco, California. After what can only be described as a miracle season Bayview High School's football team found itself in the State Finals. However, as good as the team was, their opponents have been champions several times over the past decade and were making the Bayview team fight for every yard on the field. Right out of the gate the opposing team was determined to establish dominance. Their defensive line let the offense know they would find no gaps or weaknesses. As Jackson Fuller looked over the opposing team's offense and defense he swore there wasn't a single player under six feet tall.

It was in the final moments of the first quarter that the team really hammered home what kind of game they were in for when Brady, the team's primary quarterback was sacked and did not get back up. Coach sent in the backup QB who managed to carry the team for the remainder of the game. It was now the final moments of the game, the score was 14-14 and Bayview was on offense. Unfortunately, the last play took out Bayview's backup Quarterback, which was bad news for the team as the primary Quarterback had been injured during the first quarter of the game. The coach had the team huddled around while he tried to figure out what to do.

"Fuller!" The coach calls out to his star kicker. Jackson ran over to the coach and his team. "We only have to hold them for a minute. I want you to take the QB post and run out the clock by taking a knee."

The team groans at this but the coach just shuts them up and tells them to follow his instructions. The team heads back out to the field. As Jackson moves slowly onto the field three of his teammates walk alongside him. "Fuller... the guys want to try and win this right here and right now." The larger teen states.

Jackson turns and looks at the coach who looks like he is trying to put on a brave face but his team all know that he is all but defeated. Not a good sign or very inspiring. Jackson realizes that even if the game were to go to another period, it will most likely lead to the team losing without a real Quarterback, in his honest assessment. It had been a miracle holding the tie game thus far but with the loss of their backup QB, this game was all but lost if this didn't work. "Ok, I'm game. What play do you guys want to do?"

"The QBB play." The teen informs the team's star kicker.

Jackson grins. While he hasn't practiced much other than kicks during official practice, he has practiced with the offensive line outside of school on the off chance something like this happened. Knowing this is the team's best chance of victory, the quartet does a joint fist bump and takes their spots.

The opposing coach looks confused as Jackson takes the QB position. Having studied each of the team members while doing his research for this time he knew the kicker's total game time is about one whole football game and here he was assuming the QB spot. Looking at his opposing coach the man suspects Jackson is out there to take a knee and draw out the game. That was fine with the coach. They have taken apart the Bayview Offensive and Defensive lines, another period and they will be smashed.

With Jackson now in place he calls out the play to his teammates. All of the guys are grinning despite the size discrepancy. Jackson's coach sees the formation and knows something is not right. Before he can call out Jackson yells, "HIKE!"

Jackson's teammates execute a stunning blitz, their first one of the game. The move actually catches to the defensive line off guard but not as much as Jackson Fuller running the ball towards the endzone. Jackson's guards knock the defensive line down and block for him. The guards are the perfect wedge for the few that try to bring Jackson down until Jackson is all alone. Unfortunately, two of the defensive line are in front of Jackson blocking his path. Wanting to make an example of Jackson the pair go low and take Jackson's legs out from under him. Jackson is thrown up into the air and rolls when the second defensive player clips him in the air. Unfortunately for the pair Jackson was too close to the endzone and drives the ball down in the endzone just before he crashes to the ground.

The ref blows the whistle and declares the ball is good. Jackson's team rushes him and lifts him up onto their shoulders as the scoreboard changes from 14 to 20 for Bayview High. Jackson has felt the adulation of winning several times but this is different. First, he and his teammates accomplished something that no one ever expected them to. Second, he won the game from the Quarterback position, not the kicker. His pristine uniform was dirty for the first time... ever. As they make their way back to the bench the offensive team knows that the coach is less than pleased that his team went against his directive. The problem the man now faces is what to do about it. Fortunately for the team, they were successful and their victory made him look good. If he lets anyone know that will make him look very bad so he is forced to keep quiet. Jackson was the last member of the team to leave the locker room. He had already sent a text to his mother saying that they would have a family celebration later. His mother was annoyed but as this was all part of Jackson growing up and becoming a man she reluctantly gave her blessing and let him go off with his teammates.

Jackson, being the game MVP, was told to come in last to make a grand entrance (but he considered it more of a spectacle). The group decided before they piled into the various vehicles, to go to the nearest Outback Steakhouse. The drive was short and Jackson was surprised upon entering that the team go a ruckus-like standing ovation for their performance. As soon as the cheering died down the owner walked up and got a count of how many of the team were present. As soon as they could they cleared a large section for the team and ordered Porterhouse steaks for the entire team. The team pushed for beer and the manager said sure... Root Beer.

The team was constantly congratulated during their dinner by the patrons and the team gave a first-hand retelling of how they squeaked out their victory thanks to a bold last-minute play. Jackson noted that the team left out the part about disobeying the coach, and as no one else said anything about it he left it alone.

"Penny for your thoughts." A very feminine voice says to Jackson. In the no longer empty chair to Jackson's left the lovely visage of Corissa "Coco" Davis sat beside him. She had a bottle in each hand and placed one beside Jackson.

"I don't drink..."

"Don't worry," Coco says, "it's just a local brew Root Beer," Coco tells the MVP of the game.

Jackson takes the bottle and looks at it, takes a sniff, and discovers that it is in fact bottled root beer. "They just started carrying it." The pretty red-haired girl informs Jackson as she takes a drink of her bottle.

"How do we rate the good stuff?" Jackson playfully asks his associate as he tries the drink. It has a very nice taste to it, very home-brewed-esque, not something running through a soda fountain.

"Easy, my uncle is the owner," Coco informs Jackson. "Congratulations on winning the game!" Coco says practically yelling after the crowd cheers when the players finish re-enacting Jackson's game-winning play.

"Thanks. Do you want to go outside? It's a bit loud in here." Jackson asks the pretty red-haired girl.

Coco nods her head and catches the server's attention. Coco informs the girl that they were moving outside and to bring their food there. Coco then leads Jackson to the employee's entrance so they can sneak outside. Taking Jackson's hand, she carefully leads him through the kitchen to the back where they use the exit to disappear. Jackson lets out a sigh as, after the game and a few minutes of being the center of attention, it is nice to get away from everyone. He would never hold his teammates back from celebrating their greatest victory but he was done with being the center of attention. Jackson had lived the dream and now he was ready to relax.

"Better?" Coco asks as she leads him over to the unoccupied patio deck. Just days away from November the night air was already chilly so no one was eating outside.

"Much, thank you," Jackson says sitting on a bench and resting against the back wall.

"I thought Full Lips Fuller lived for the attention," Coco stated with a bit of a smirk.

"It's one thing to be famous, another to be infamous. You know how they say everyone has 15 minutes of fame?" Coco simply nods her head. "Well, infamous people can't escape the limelight as someone, somehow keeps shining it on you."

Coco thought about Jackson's words for a moment. "You're right. Everyone made a big deal about Baloney boy, then you were Full Lips Fuller and then nothing until you became Golden Toe."

"Exactly. The team will make a big deal about this win for a while and by New Year I'll be a memory again." Jackson retorts.

"Is that what you want... to just fade into the background?" Coco asks. She is actually surprised by Jackson's answer as most people just want to be popular.

"Yes. It's too much work trying to be popular all the time. Take Sienna, for example, earlier this year she was The It Girl... the girl that every other girl wanted to be. Now, she's still on top but she's not putting herself out there as much as she did earlier in the year." Jackson insightfully stated.

Coco was surprised, to say the least at Jackson's observation of Sienna. Coco, as Sienna's best friend, was the first to notice the girl pulling back her social media presence. She also began curtailing her trips to the mall to keep up on the latest fashions. She had not completely changed, but something had caused her to shift her focus and priorities. Talking with their other girlfriends they too have noticed a change in Sienna but no one dared ask her about it least they expose a problem Sienna was trying to conceal. Her biggest surprise was that she seemed to go out of her way to make friends with Ramona. Ramona was funny, nice, and popular in certain circles but even after making the dance team, she didn't think Sienna and her would gell. Sienna, like Jackson, was full of surprises.

"So what's next Jackson, what are you going to do now that Football season is over," Coco asks taking a drink of her root beer.

"I thought I would just take it easy for the rest of the school year. I'm taking my driver's license test this week and once I get my license I thought I'd get a job so I can save up for a car." Jackson says.

"What kind of car do you think you're going to save for?"

"Well, I know most teens get something used as a first car but as I'm going to be paying for it I thought I'd get something new, maybe something sporty. Depending on how the test drives go will depend on which one I will purchase."

"Any particular brand of car that you have your eye on so far?" Coco presses.

"Not really because I don't have a lot of money saved yet. Why do you ask?"

Corissa grins before saying, "I think I have an idea on how to get you a car... a nice NEW car!" Coco tells the star kicker. Coco is sporting a wicked grin and Jackson wonders if he should be worried.

~ Mid-November ~

It was just over two weeks since Jackson Fuller and the Bayview High School Varsity team won the state championship. If Jackson didn't know better he was guessing Coco was either an agent in her past life or her plan after high school was to become one. Coco's father was the owner of the largest Honda/Acura car dealership chain in San Francisco. The fiery redhead pitched the idea to her father to have Jackson and his team star in the holiday commercial promotions for his dealerships. In exchange for selling each legal driver a car at his cost (and Jackson got an even better deal than that as the MVP of the game), they would be featured in a new commercial as well as all of the holiday ad campaigns during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years' time frame. The ad campaign which was filmed over a week was an instant hit with the city and Coco's father came home Monday night after its first weekend smiling and declaring if things held out over the holiday that it would be their best holiday sales year ever.

As part of Jackson's deal with Coco, he became her personal chauffeur from now until Christmas break. Jackson, as the MVP was presented with a brand new Acura NSX Type S in Curva Red. Of course, being on TV extended Jackson 15 minutes of fame beyond what he was planning but that was the price of fame... and for his car.

Jackson and Coco were currently in Paulo Alto for dinner. Another part of the deal he made. The deal was very favorable to Jackson as the only other duty other than dinner every other Friday and being her ride to and from school till winter break was being her personal chauffeur should she need it on Saturday and Sunday. Coco didn't abuse this by any means, she just monopolized Jackson's time when she could.

Jackson had to explain this to Casey and Trinity so if he had to cancel a date with them they knew why. In the few months since his first encounter with Casey and the month with Trinity Jackson had balanced his time with the pair as well as occasionally making out with Rocki. During this time none of the trio were willing to commit to him. Casey and Trinity were still afraid of the drama it might cause them with Sienna. Rocki however was just not willing to commit to anyone or label herself as in a relationship. Jackson accepted that and followed suit. While his hands never ventured anywhere other than Rocki's hips or waist Trinity and eventually Casey allowed him to touch their asses both on top of their clothes and under.

During the school day, he occasionally saw the odd girl that he either knew or had a vague knowledge of giving him a smile, a grin, or even a playful giggle. He was sure part of it was over his football star status but he also knew that his reputation as Full Lips Fuller was not completely gone. While he currently had three girls that could vouch for his kissing skills two of them weren't very forthcoming least that information gets back to Sienna Logan. Rocki wasn't afraid of anything or anyone. Were a girl to ask her about his skills she would probably tell them but her abrasive nature kept most of the student body at a distance, which was fine with Jackson.

Before his fame, Jackson discovered the tv series Burn Notice and opted to take a cue from the "cool spy" clothes. Jackson was given his choice of wardrobe (the guys all had to have matching suits too). Jackson was gifted with four tailored suits, one for each commercial that he and the team shot. Jackson's wardrobe now consists of two Armani and two Hugo Boss suits. He was currently dressed in his silver Hugo Boss suit, a white long sleeve Kenneth Cole dress shirt, and nice black shoes. The clothes were provided by the companies (Armani for the first and Christmas commercial and Hugo Boss for Thanksgiving and New Year) per a deal Coco's dad worked out with the designers.

Coco was wearing a very fetching green evening dress. It was strapless with a V-dipped neckline (cut like a V showing off the valley of her breasts). The dress conformed to Coco's curves. The skirt was pencil thin and stopped mid-thigh. Coco was wearing her hair straight with her shoulder-length hair draped over her right shoulder while the left side was behind her back. Speaking of her back, the dress was bare and the hemline stopped just under Coco's pale shoulders. Jackson took the coat Coco wore due to the inclement weather and placed it on one of the empty chairs at their table.

Jackson had started doing computer repairs in his neighborhood for spending money. Word of mouth had gone around that he was very good and charged very reasonably prices (as opposed to bigger tech firms) which is how he funded his various dates with the three girls he took out. The few times that he had managed to persuade Rocki to go out with him they ended up going dutch which was fine with him (and his wallet).

As they were in Paulo Alto Jackson's celebrity status was non-existent, a fact that was fine with him. He found it nice to walk about and not have someone recognize him (are at least very few) from the Acura commercials. As Coco was also in the camp of not wanting Sienna to know she was out with Jackson they ventured into Paulo Alto quite often on dates where they could spend time together without worrying about word getting back to Sienna. Jackson took all three of the girls there as he was getting to know that town and its locals quite well. Originally he took the train from San Francisco to Paulo Alto but now, having such a nice car made the trip even more enjoyable. Sometimes they would still take the train so he and his date could just sit back and snuggle together for the duration of the trips.

Jackson and Coco didn't normally dress fancy for their various dates but this was a special occasion as Jackson wanted to thank Coco for all she had done for him. After school was out Jackson drove Corissa home so she could go get ready for their night out.

The pair showered, made themselves look nice, and then waited for the appointed time when Jackson picked up his date for the evening, and off they went. They actually made it in time for sunset at the gardens and Jackson held his date in his arms out in the night air as they watched the sunset over the horizon. Corissa enjoyed the feeling of Jackson's arms around her body. With her four-inch heels boosting her 5 feet 5 inches she could feel Jackson's baby soft skin pressed against hers. When the sun went down and the darkness rolled in Jackson kissed his date's bare shoulder and escorted her back to the car. That led to dinner and afterward, they found a nice spot to park and talk. Jackson enjoyed Corissa's company. He learned during their time together that her younger sister had given her the name Coco as she had a hard time saying her full name at first so Coco became her default name with the family and soon everyone. Jackson was one of the few people that actually called her by her proper name (save when everyone was around, then he called her Coco), a fact the red-haired girl actually liked.

Unlike most of the girls in Sienna's circle of friends, Coco was not on the Bayview High Dance Team. While she heard about Full Lips Fuller from Sienna as the girl was very boastful when the rumor broke out, she was not at Sienna's table when The It Girl approached Jackson Fuller about the rumor.

Jackson didn't see Coco and Tori with the others. They had apparently gone somewhere with the understanding that Sienna was not going to do anything until they returned. She and Tori never did get the explanation as to why that changed, all she knows is that the pair re-entered the cafeteria as Jackson and Rocki Mahan were kissing with the Dance Team encircling them. She and Tori were given some of the details by the girls but that was all.

Corissa syncs her cellphone to the car's audio system via the Bluetooth connection and soon soft 80's music is playing through Jackson's sound system. The young teens are enjoying their time together but the nervous young woman decides to be bold, truly bold, for the first time since the state finals and do what she has wanted to since that night. Corissa leans in and give's Jackson a soft kiss. Jackson had wondered if Coco... no, Corissa was ever going to get around to this. He had read the desire in her eyes the first night they talked outside of Outback Steakhouse. The only reason that he hadn't broached the issue was he wanted to see how long it would take her to decide. Once their first kiss was completed, Corissa sat back in her seat. Several long moments passed as Corissa Davis looked straight ahead as she realized for the first time she had finally taken the initiative and kissed the object of her desire.

"That was nice." Jackson offered. It was quick and while not Earth-shattering it was a nice kiss as first kisses go. He was doing his best to reassure Corissa that the kiss was enjoyable and implying he would be willing to do some more. Corissa's heart is pounding so hard she can hear and feel it in her ears. Jackson senses her doubt and hesitation and leans over into her space and gives her a kiss which Corissa melts into. It is not a long kiss, just one that relates to the red-haired girl her date cares about her and enjoys kissing her. Jackson uses the power controls to adjust his seat. Corissa gets the message, Corissa lifts the hem of her dress and slides over the center console separating them and into Jackson's lap. The two are now facing one another, Croissa straddling Jackson's lap as their fiery sexes, while clothed, are pressed together and begin to kiss. The two start slowly as this is only their third kiss but it isn't long before Jackson is soon imparting all of his kissing knowledge to Corissa. His hands stay on her hips as this is their very first time in this position and he doesn't want to appear pushy. He wants his date to feel comfortable and to trust that he respects her. It isn't long before Corissa knows this.

Eventually, their passion ignited, Corissa, takes Jackson's hands, but rather than placing them on her ass she actually places them on top of her breasts. Jackson's heart almost leaps out of his chest as he feels her breasts through the material of the dress. While some guys would be pawing and groping at them Jackson simply starts out holding them and getting a feel for them. While there are girls out there with super large tits none of the girls he has been with are overly endowed which is fine. Every girl is different and unique in their own way. Corissa's tits while about on par with Trinity's (a B cup) were perfect on her slender frame. As they kissed Jackson became a bit bolder and moved his thumbs over the stiff pertusions of Corissa's nipples. This earned him a few high-pitched squeals even though their lips never part.

Only when Jackson's alarm rang, signaling that they needed to head back to San Francisco did the young teens part and return to their seats. As Jackson returned his seat to its proper position he watched as Corissa adjusted her dress, first the bottom hem and then the top. Looking to Jackson Corissa smiled, her cheeks still flush with excitement. He places his hand behind her head and draws her back to him so that he can give her one final kiss before they get back on the road.

Once Jackson releases hold on his date and watches as she climbs back into her seat. He puts his seatbelt on and allows her to do the same. He watches intently as she pulls the safety strap across her breasts and it lays between her perky breasts. "I should have made this a requisite in our agreement too." The stunning redhead says under Jackson's scrutiny..

Jackson returns her grin, "Yes, you probably should have." The young man puts the car into gear and Corissa Davis, known to Bayview High as Coco, wondered if she dares tempt fate and circumvent her best friend's intention of dating Jackson Fuller.

"What time did you tell your mom you would be back?" Corissa inquired.

"We should have enough time to connect some more before I need to be home," Jackson tells his date.

"Then, by all means, floor it!" Coco insisted.

"Yes ma'am!"

Per the lady's request, Jackson made his way to the highway and as soon as the coast was clear, put his foot all of the way down on the gas pedal. Shifting gears as necessary, Jackson pushed the car's engine all while being on the lookout for state troopers. The pair arrived at Corissa's home in record time, but it took Jackson a good thirty minutes from the time he turned off the car until he finally walked the lovely redhead to her front door. During that half-hour, Corissa resumed her spot on Jackson's lap and were kissing like they were never going to see one another again. As their tongues danced in one another's mouths Jackson could feel how excited his date was as she pressed her wet panties against his engorged cock. The two teens made out much as they had a short time ago, only this time Jackson left his mark on the girl's neck. Corissa knew she could not go sleeveless during the holiday, luckily she had ways to deal with that. Only when Jackson's cellphone alarm rang did the couple stop their session for the night. Jackson escorted her to the door and kissed her softly one last time before heading home for the night.
