go out and drink too much last night or what?” She laughed.
    I shook my head, “Nope, just another childhood flashback is all.” I told her.
    She looked at me with sad eyes, “I’m sorry.” She said and looked at the floor.
    “None of that, what’s up?  Sorry I spaced out there for a minute.” I said.
    “Well, I thought you might be interested in this newly listed house.” She laid a stack of papers down in front of her and pushed them across my desk.  I gave her a skeptical look, the last house she tried to get me to buy was, “In need of a little TLC” which meant it needed to be torn down.  Rather than pay for it to be tore down, I bought it and renovated it so it could be a safe place for abused women and children to go to in the middle of the night…no questions asked.
    I picked the stack up and flipped it over, the first page listed the price, “Fourteen million?!” I said and looked up at her.  She nodded her head and bit back a smile, I shook my head then flipped to the next page.  The floor plan looked familiar and so did the kitchen, I flipped to the next page and my mouth fell open.  “The Wilson place is up for sale?” I said and about jumped out of my office chair. 
    Tiffany laughed, “Do you want me to schedule a showing?  There’s an open house next week if you just want to wait.”
    I walked around the desk and hugged her until she complained that she couldn’t breathe, “You’re the best fucking assistant ever!  I’ll personally handle this call.” I told her. 
    “Okay, that way when nosey Ava comes in here I can honestly tell her that I don’t know where you are or what you are doing.”
    Ava—was supposed to be my wife by now.  When a private investigator showed me proof that she was cheating on me, I moved out of our high-rise apartment and was currently renting an apartment in the same building as one of my best friends and teammate, Trevor.  Ava had been trying to get me back for almost a year now and I wanted no part of her or any relationship for that matter.  I had loved her and trusted her and she did nothing but rip my heart out and shred it to pieces.  I think she might have even set the pieces on fire.  I hadn’t dated in that year and had no desire to; I had random hook ups and that was it.  They never stayed the night and I usually didn’t call them the next day—or ever again.  Well except for one that was okay with a no strings attached random booty call.  She was cool.
    “Let me know if you need me to help with anything.” Tiffany interrupted my thoughts…again. 
    “You know I will.” I told Tiffany.  She nodded then walked out of my office. 
    Obviously it was one of those days that I couldn’t keep my attention on something for longer than a minute.  It meant that I needed to do one of two things; I either needed to go to the gym and work out my frustrations or call Chrissy and fuck out my frustrations.  I opted for going to the gym, Chrissy had been over two nights ago—I didn’t want her to get the wrong idea about me and think I had feelings for her. 
    I picked up the stack of papers and found the realtors number, I tried to call it but was sent to a voicemail; “Hey this is Lennie, leave your name and number and I’ll call you back.  If you’re calling about a listing I have please leave the listing number as well.  Thank you and have a wonderful day!”
    I left a short message and hung up then called Trevor to see if he had some free time to go to the gym.  He said he did so we agreed to meet there in an hour. 
    Trevor and I met when we were both entered the Bears team as undrafted free agents.  Our third season everything changed for me, being a wide receiver I took numerous hits but was always able to jump right back up.  The game against the Redskins was what ended my career, I was tackled and the very second my back hit the turf--red hot lightning shot up my spine.  I about pissed myself from the pain.  I bit
