As we made our way toward the exit, I spotted Athlea standing on the edge of the field, her grocery bags in hand, watching with a gentle smile. I approached her, offering a small nod.
Athlea turned to , smiling warmly as we greeted each other on the edge of the field, with the last glow of the sunset stretching across the sky.
"You played well, Austin," she said, a soft blush on her cheeks as she looked over. Her gaze lingered, almost as if she was seeing in a new light. "I don't think I've ever seen you so… determined."
"Thank you, Athlea," I replied, my tone calm, though I couldn't help noticing the warmth in her gaze. "It was a good ga."
"That was so impressive playing back there. You really know how to keep everyone on the edge of their seats."
I could feel my face heat up a bit, but I kept my expression as composed as I could manage, giving a slight nod.
"Hehe nothing that great." I said, working hard to keep my tone even and calm.
She laughed, her voice warm, and her eyes sparkling. "Modest as ever, I see."
I shifted a little, trying not to let the blush that crept up my neck give away. I was hardly ever thrown off my ga, but sothing about her kind smile made it harder to stay as cold and detached as usual.
She tilted her head, eyeing with a hint of curiosity.
"So, heading anywhere special?" she asked, a playful hint in her voice. "Off to et soone? A date, maybe?"
I couldn't help a slight smirk, shaking my head. "No date for tonight," I replied, keeping it simple. "Just heading ho."
"Perfect! too." She flashed a delighted smile, a little surprised. "We're headed the sa way. Let's walk together, then?"
"Sure," I said, and we fell in step side by side, the quiet hum of the evening settling around us.
As we walked, the sky softened to dusky pink and orange, the last rays of light spilling across the neighborhood. There was a peaceful silence between us, broken only by the light sound of our footsteps on the sidewalk.
"So, which college do you go to?" she asked after a mont, breaking the silence with a gentle curiosity.
"I go to Halebrook," I replied, glancing over at her. "It's close enough to ho, and… well, it keeps things interesting."
"Halebrook," she mused. "I've heard good things about it. How are your studies going? Do you like it there?"
I shrugged, giving her a small smile. "It's going well. I an, I wouldn't say I live for the classes, but I'm keeping up."
She laughed, a soft, genuine sound that filled the air between us. "I know the feeling," she said. "It's hard to enjoy everything all the ti, but keeping up is what matters. Are you at least having so fun?"
I looked away briefly, considering the question. "Fun? I guess you could say that. I've got my friends and… well, there's always sothing happening." I glanced at her, raising an eyebrow.
"What about you? How do you keep yourself busy?"
"Oh, you know, the usual." She smiled, then hesitated for a mont. "It's been… quieter than I'd like sotis. My husband works in another country, so he's only able to co back two or three tis a year."
"Really?" I asked, surprised. "He's not ho much?"
She nodded, the expression on her face shifting to sothing a little softer. "Yeah, it can be hard sotis, with him being so far away. But we talk on the phone a lot, and he's always telling about his work."
Before I could respond, her phone chid with a familiar ring, and she glanced down, a fond smile appearing on her face. "Speak of the devil," she murmured, chuckling softly. "That's him."
She looked back up at with a slight apologetic smile. "I have to take this. But, Austin, you're welco to stop by anyti you want. We can catch up then."
"Thanks, Athlea," I replied, smiling back. "I appreciate it. It was really nice talking to you."
"Sa here, Austin." She gave one last warm look before answering her phone. "Alright, well, I'll see you around. Take care!"
"Bye-bye," I said, watching her as she stepped away, already chatting with her husband.
As I turned toward my own path, I caught myself looking back at her. There was sothing quietly captivating about her—the way she smiled, the warmth in her voice, how her laugh softened the whole atmosphere around her. And yes, obviously the fact how busty and thicc she is.
~Those curves goddamn..
How could soone so wonderful be left alone so often?
With a faint sigh, I continued walking ho, trying to push the thought from my mind.
Once I got back, I showered, letting the cool water wash away the lingering aches from the ga.
Changing into a loose white t-shirt and track pants, I felt a sense of calm wash over . The house was quiet, and I noticed Beta wasn't around. Probably off on another mission, I thought, grabbing sothing quick to eat for dinner.
Afterwards, I flipped through a few channels on the TV, but nothing held my interest for long.
Eventually, I stretched out on my bed, staring at the ceiling, a quiet boredom settling over . Then, out of nowhere, Athlea's smile popped back into my thoughts, along with her invitation to stop by whenever I wanted.
I glanced over at the clock. It was a little past 10 pm, but I found myself standing up and reaching for a small packet of sweets I had saved.
Maybe she'd enjoy sothing sweet, and I could use so company.
*Ting-Tong*
I held my breath as I waited at her door, the faint sound of footsteps approaching from the other side.
*Clack*
When the door finally opened, Athlea stood there, looking pleasantly surprised to see standing on her doorstep.
"Austin!" she greeted , her eyes lighting up. "What a nice surprise."
I held up the packet of sweets, giving a small shrug.
"I… was feeling kind of bored, so I thought I'd co by. I brought sothing too." I hesitated, then added, "I hope I'm not bothering you."
She waved her hand dismissively, laughing softly. "Oh, not at all, Austin. It's good to see you again. Co inside!"
She stepped back, holding the door open for . The warmth of her ho welcod in, and I slipped off my slippers, feeling strangely comfortable as I stepped further inside.
