"You called it a night pretty early. I thought you ballers like to stay out all night," I Teased Keyon.

"True, but we have a long day tomorrow. It's the last day of the Pro Bowl. Both of us have to be at the stadium early tomorrow."

Keyon draped his arm around my shoulders as we walked into the house. Jax followed behind right on our heels.

"Can I ask you a question, Keyon?"

"You just did," he joked.

"If Jax is your bodyguard, why did he spend so much time following me around the club tonight?"

"You are my girl. I can't have other men circling. How would that look," Keyon laughed?

"You men and your egos,"I said over my shoulder as I walked up the stairs.

When I got back to my room I checked everything out to make sure no one had taken anything else. Then I went across the hall to talk to Escobar.

"What do your want Tabby," hissed as she opened the door?

"I was looking for ..."

"My man. You were looking for my man," she interrupted.

"Look, I don't want any trouble with you. I just need to talk to Rodolfo, I told Tabby.

" You may have him fooled, but I don't trust you. I won't sit back and let you take what's mine. I have been with him too long to let someone like you just mess this up for me."

"Tabby, I don't want your man. I'm not trying to take your place," I assured her. "Like I said before, it would be nice if the two of us could be friends."

Tabby slammed the door in my face. I felt my cell phone buzz with a text message from Keyon, telling me he needed to see me in his room. I walked down the stairs and across the house to another wing. Before I reached his room, I encountered his drunken uncle in the hallway.

"Sup sweet thang," he slurred as he wrapped his arm tightly around my waist.

"Hey, Andre looks like you have had a few too many. Why don't you go back to your room and sleep it off?"

"Sure thing sexy. You are going to join me right," Andre crooned.

"No, I don't think so. I'm with Keyon for the rest of this trip," I reminded him.

"Well, that's not a problem. My nephew won't mind sharing."

"I mind, now let go of me" I demanded!

Andre tightened his grip as he began to drag me down the hallway. I knew I could handle this man, especially in his impaired condition. Physically hurting him could cause some serious complication for me. I knew that Andre was the one who set up this event. Escobar might be unhappy if I coast him a client. Keyon would not be thrilled if I knocked his uncle silly.

"Keyon! Keyon, you need to get your, uncle" I screamed loud enough to wake everyone!

"What, don't I have enough money for you," Andre sneered as he slammed me into the wall?

I started screaming, hoping to scare him away. Just when I thought I was going to have to teach this man to respect women, Jax ran down the hallway and tackled Andre. I stared at the two men on the floor wide-eyed.

"He is almost old enough to be your father. Did you have to tackle him like that," I asked?

"I don't have time to fight with old timers,"Jax replied as he stood.

"He'll be fine Keyon," called from the other end of the hallway.

Suddenly I was angry as I stormed in Keyon direction. "You heard me screaming and you just stood there," I growled!

Keyon smiled and pulled me into his room.

"Are you laughing? Because nothing about what just went on was funny. Is this some kind of sick game that you and your uncle play?"

Keyon flopped down on the bed and laughed even harder as he ignored me. "Are you always this dramatic? Don't you think all that screaming was a bit much? Remember I was there when Rad made the mistake of thinking he could put his hand on you. Surely my drunk uncle was not a problem for you."

"So you would have been alright with me making your uncles' skull rattle," I asked?

"I was waiting to see to it,"Keyon confesses. "Then you started making all that noise and Jax heard you."

A knock on the door interrupted him.

"Hey, Keyon I tucked Andrea into bed to sleep it off," Jax announced as Kyon opened the door. He looked me over carefully. "You alright?"

"She is fine," Keyon told Jax as he pushed him out of the room.

"I'm sorry about my uncle. I'll talk to him, Keyon said.

"So what did you want anyway," I said impatiently.

"You're are still wearing my jacket. There are some things in the pocket I need, like my wallet," he explained.

"You could have just sent someone one up to get it. "

"True, but that would not have been anywhere near as much fun," Keyon said with a wink.


"Today is going be exciting, "Keyon told me as sat next to me is the SUV. "The game is today. Everyone in the house is going to be there. The ones that are not playing will be sitting VIP. My Jersey looks good on you," Keyon said with a smile.

"While we are on the subject of what you are wearing, did you ever find out what happened to underwear, Jax asked from the driver's seat. "

"No, I did not. I had to borrow a pair from my roommate,"I explained.

When we drove into the VIP section of the stadium I saw several of the players who were staying at the house. Front in center was Andre, Keyon's uncle.

"Hey, pretty lady, sorry about what happened last night. I had little too much and ..."

"You acted like an idiot," Radaolfo interrupted.

"Hey, I didn't see you there," I told Rodolfo.

"Yeah right," Tabby huffed. "She is not sitting in our skybox with us."

"No, she will be sitting down on the field with the rest of women cheering on their men Keyon said. "She will see you all later. We have to be going now."

After ushering me over to the section reserved for the family of the players, Keyon and Jax headed to the locker room.

As soon as he hit the field I began to cheer loudly for Keyon. He was an impressive sight as he played. Effortless he was able to catch a ball and run for several yards to score touchdowns. This man was up against the best in the league and there was not a man on the field who could catch him. My guy was the best in the game I had no problem cheering him on along with the rest of the crowd. I had to work to keep smiling when my phone buzzed with a text message from Radolfo,

Hey, I need to see you right away.

I sighed and walked to the elevator. To my surprise, Andre was leaned against the wall waiting for the doors to open. I hesitated for a minute before stepping on. Quietly he pressed the button and we rode up in an awkward silence. Without warning the elevator lurched and then stopped. The light went off and an alarm sounded.

"What the ..." Andre studdered? "Are we stuck? We better not be stuck," he said in a panicked voice! Hastily he grabbed for the emergency phone. "Hello, Hello, yeah you gotta get us out of here! No, we can't wait that long," he complained.

"Just calm down. We are going to be alright now that they know we are here," I assured Andre.

He took out his cell phone and tried to make a call. "We don't have any service and it's too dark in here. I don't like the dark," Andre whimpered. Then he began to pace the floor restlessly. The elevator lurched again dropped several floors.

"You have to sit still until they get us out," I told Andrea.

The two of us sat down on the floor as I checked my cellphone for the time. An hour and half later, we were still stuck and Andre was freaking out.

"It too hot in here.I can't breathe" he shouted.

I heard the rustling of clothes. when I turned on my phone to see what was going on, Andrea had stripped down to his boxers.

"They are taking too long," he yelled!

Oh boy, this was not good. He was right, at this rate, getting us out of this elevator was taking too long.

"Give me a boost," I said to Andre.

He helped me up to the emergency hatch. When I was able to get it open, I could see that we were between two floors. I stood on the top of the elevator, but the doors would not budge. That's when I heard angry voices shouting at one another.

"Hello, hey we are here," I yelled!

"I don't care! Just get those doors open, a voice demanded.

A few minutes later light poured in as the doors were pried open. I looked up to see several faces staring down at me.

"Don't move miss," the repairman shouted! "You should not be up there. Get back in the car until the elevator is stabilized," he instead.

"No way," Jax barked! "She has been in the way to long."Yo, man I am going to hold your ankles. You pull her up," he instructed Rodolfo.

As soon as Radolfo had hold of me Jax struggled to get us out of there.

"You need help" Keyon shouted?

I was drenched with sweat by the time they got me out. Keyon was the first to take me in his arms. He held me close and kissed the top my head.

"Shouldn't you be out there on the field instead of helping me out of elevators. You have to protect that arm of yours," I teased.

"I would rather protect you," Keyon said seriously." Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but your uncle is down there freaking out."

"Don't worry, Jax is getting him."

"What are you doing up here? You should be in the game. You are amazing to watch," I told him.

"Right before halftime, I noticed you were gone and then I heard about the problem with the elevator. I just needed to know you were safe," Keyon explained.

When Andre surfaced from the elevator wearing nothing but his boxers a hush fell over the room.

"What, I'm claustrophobic," I got hot," Andre defended." What did you want Rad, why did you text me that you needed to see me right away?"

Rodolfo gave him a puzzled look and then pulled to him. He looked me over carefully.

"Are you sure you are alright? Do you want to go back to the house and lie down? I'll drive you," he offered.

"I 'll be fine , no need to miss the rest of the game."

"Let me walk you back down to your section," Jax said. Man, for one little woman you sure are a magnet for a whole alot of trouble," he joked.

" You have no idea," I laughed.

There was a huge after party at the house when the game was over. I had a great time dancing with Keyon. The two of us spent the night hanging out together. Well, make that the three of us. Where ever we went, Jax was never far behind. I had to admit the Keyon was a cool guy. Spending the last night here with him was fun.

The next morning I was packed and glad to be going home. This island getaway had not been a vacation. Once again, Tabby and Rodolfo were fighting.

"No, she is not I fly with you. She can go commercial like everyone else. I don't want her with us," Tabby whined.

"Rodolfo stormed past her and smiled at me. Are you ready, he asked as he picked up my suitcase?

"Yes, she is Jax answered as he and Keyon approached.

"She flying back with us," Keyon explained.

"That was not part of the deal," Radolfo protested.

"I know, but I have some business to take care of in Atlanta." There is no reason why can't she fly with me. I have plenty of room."

"Sounds great," I said.

"You don't have to go with him if you don't want," Radolfo assured me.

"No, I want to. It's a long flight and Keyon is good company," I told Radolfo cheerfully.

"Great, then it all settled. Tabby said happily.

Radolfo glared at her angerly.

"Man, that flight was way too short Keyon complained.

"It was more than five hours."

"Yeah, but you made the time just fly by," Keyon told me seriously."

"Thanks for driving me to pick up my car," I told Jax and Keyon.

"We have got to hang out again," Keyon said.

"Next time you are in town," I laughed

"I'm not joking, I mean it," Keyon said taking my phone. I'm putting my contact information in here. If you want me to take you out on a real deal date or just go to the club for a night of dancing, hit me up."

Keyon smile and helped me out of the SUV. Jax took my suitcase for the from the cargo section of the vehicle. When I remoted my truck lock, he loaded the luggage in the car for me.

Keyon pulled me in for a hug and then got back in the SUV. As they drove off his eyes never left mine.
