Lucky Baller

Tessa

When my best friend Autumn asked me to tag along to an event with her, I never could have imagined that it would be the day that my life changed forever.

Hes arrogant and demanding and doesnt take a hint. Landon Barker, the quarterback for the Los Angeles Cougars, is a player on and off the field. Hes got his sights set on me as his next play, but I see right through him.

Autumn says Im overreacting, that I should give him a chance. What she doesnt realize is that men like Landon dont fall for the girl next door. Thats not reality. She got her fairytale, although it was a long road. Not everyone is that lucky.

Landon

Shes a friend of our new kicking coachs wife. When I ask Jeremy for her number, he tells me I have to find a way to get it myself.

Nothing, when it comes to Tessa, has been easy. Shes the first woman ever to turn me down, and that wont do.

However, as time passes, its about more than that. Its about her smile, her laugh, and just spending time with her. She thinks Im a player, and shes right. What she doesnt know is that I play to win, and her heart is the ultimate trophy.
