Fawn Awaits
Start Reading Nancy’s Story Here.
Ted was pleased with his showing. In the top five. First time that had happened. And he knew it was due to Nancy being there in the stands, cheering him on. Something about that girl made him want to do his best.
Once he’d gotten the straight or not so straight scoop from Bertie on that oversized jock she was with, Ted devoted his full attention to the game and to Nancy. One pint sized redhead was all the audience he needed.
Which explained why, when he exited the locker room, he was surprised to see Fawn leaning against a wall, waiting for her.
“Ted.” She reached up and hugged his neck, pressing her body into his. “You played so well. Did you hear me cheering?”
“I did.” He lied, taking a step back. His friend was one of those touchy feely girls which was fine before but now he had Nancy.
“You must be hungry after that workout.” Fawn rubbed her hands up and down his arms. “You wanna go for a burger?”
He was hungry and a burger did sound good but… “It depends.”
Blank stare. “On what?”
“Nancy’s here.” Ted grinned at his friend as they walked, unable to contain his excitement. “Come on. I’ll introduce you.” It was about time they met.
Fawn stopped. “I don’t know. I’m not too good with girlfriends.”
“What do you mean?” Ted shifted impatiently. He wanted to get out to see Nancy before she gave up on him and left.
“They don’t like me. I don’t know why.” Big brown eyes appeared troubled.
She shouldn’t be. Fawn might not have a lot of female friends, now that he remembered, she had mentioned before that other girls felt intimidated by her, but Nancy did. “Nancy will like you. She likes everyone.”
That he was sure of.
