Kickoff for Love by Amelia Whitmore Read Free Book Online

tank top, and matching pair of flip flops. I remembered to put a pair of socks into my purse. Just as I was finishing, I heard the doorbell ring. Before I could make it downstairs, my Dad opened up the door. 'Crap' I groaned to myself. 
    "Richmond." Dad said stiffly. I rolled my eyes. He was totally acting. 
    "Sir." Andy said uncomfortably. 
    "Dad, knock it off and say goodnight.” I sighed. 
    He chuckled. "Have her home before two.” He said before going back into the living room to watch the news. 
    "Ready?" I asked. Andy smiled as he looked me up and down. 
    "You look gorgeous.” He said before wrapping his arms around me and kissing my forehead. 
    When we got into the car, he leaned over and kissed me properly. "Sorry, but I didn't want to do that in front of your father.” He said with a smile as he pulled away. 
    "It's fine. I think he would have been happy to see it, though.” I said with a grimace. "He was creepily happy when he heard who I was going out with tonight. I think I even heard him saying something about 'I knew he wasn't after kinky sex games.' I really hope I heard wrong.” I shuddered at the memory. 
    Andy laughed. "Coach mentioned that to me the other day. I really don't want to know what kind of stuff they did at college in his day.” I laughed. 
    "I hope I never find out.”

CHAPTER SIX
     
     
     
    Andy's POV

When I pulled up to Ashley’s house, I was more nervous than I realized. I hadn't spoken to Coach about me and Ashley since the other day. I had no idea how he felt about it. "Richmond.” He said slowly as he answered the door. I about puked. 
    "Sir." I said gruffly. I had no idea how this was going to turn out. 
    Ashley saved the day and made me realize that Coach was only joking around. I felt like about four hundred pounds of pressure had been lifted from my body. 
    In the car, I just had to kiss Ashley properly. She looked beautiful tonight, well a little more so than usual, that is. 
    "Alright, go straight up this road until the stop sign. Then, take a left and I'll tell you where to go from there.” She said when I pulled away from the curb.  We pulled up to a huge house. She turned to me. "We have to go inside so you can meet Lindsey's parents. They're overprotective and not only need to make sure I'll be there but they want to make sure you won't murder us all.” I laughed and turned the engine off. 
    "Alright,” I walked around and took her hand as we walked up. She just opened the door and walked in. "Good evening Mrs. West." Ashley greeted politely.  "This is Andy Richmond. He's my date for the evening. He's on my father's football team, so we know he doesn't do drugs, or drink heavily. My father seems very fond of him.” She said, getting straight to business. 
    The woman looked me up and down. "Do you have any history with the law?" She asked sternly. 
    "No ma'am.” I was almost scared for my life. For a tiny woman, she had the maternal look down. 
    She glanced at Ashley.  You've spent time with him?"
    "Yes, ma'am.”
    "And he's treated you right those times?"
    Ashley got a light blush on her cheeks as she said "Yes ma'am,” softly. I almost laughed, but the woman shot me a glare and I straightened further. 
    "I'll go get Lindsey.” She said before leaving me and Ashley in the foyer by ourselves. 
    I turned to her. "Oh my god, she's so scary!" I whispered. 
    Ashley burst out laughing. "She's not normally like that, but I know what you mean.”
    I pulled her to my side, wrapping my arm around her shoulders. "Why? I mean, four years really isn't that much.”
    She shrugged. "I don't think it was so much about you as it was Bryan.”
    I looked down at her, confused. "Why doesn't she like Bryan?" I asked. 
    Ashley smirked. "She did until she realized he could impregnate her daughter. Since then, things have been tighter than prison around here.”
    "What do you mean 'she just realized'? Isn't it obvious? I mean, he is a guy, right?" I
