Everyone had their red, black, and white Falcon colors on. DeCarious invited me, Asia, and his parents to his game. This was a major step for us. Being at the game was wives’ and girlfriends’ territory. Every now and then jumpoffs get tickets, too, but if DeCarious had anyone he liked she would be sitting in section 117, row 3, seat 2, instead of me. And I was happy to be here. My plan was working. One step at a time, I was reeling him back in. And I don’t know why, but DeCarious looked extra sexy and powerful in his uniform. I dressed Asia up real pretty in cute jeans and she had her red, black, and white Falcons colors on like everyone in the stadium. We were playing the Buccaneers and we were winning. I hadn’t realized how passionate Mr. Joe was about football. He was screaming at the plays and calls. It was the most I had ever heard him speak. Mr. Joe stood up and said, “Get them down! Take them down, son,” every time DeCarious took down one of the Buccaneers players. After the game was over, I had to show a special pass to get on the elevator and get into the family room.
