Fumbled is part of Kristen Proby's With Me in Seattle Universe.JudeBefore training camp, I went on one last trip. Just me and the beaches of Miami without doting fans and the pressures of fame. Then I ran into Ivy, literally.One thing led to another, and we spent a glorious week together. Then she utters the words I never wanted to hear: Just Friends.I'm playing the best I've ever played, yet somehow with Ivy I keep fumbling. Our lives are worlds apart, but with each text, call, and stolen moment, my feelings for her grow. Can I keep my career and land the woman of my dreams? IvyWhen I met Jude, I had no idea who he was to the world. He was a hot, vacation companion, nothing more. We spent one week getting to know each other, but at the end we went our separate ways as just friends.Then he showed up back in my life. Jude Taylor, star wide receiver.I don't care that he's on the TV every Sunday when I go to my parent's house or that thousands of people worship him. I care about the man I met in Miami. I thought we could be friends, but the way he makes my heart race when the cameras are off is far from friendly. Every wink, smirk, and deep timbre of his voice makes me question why I ever wanted to be friends. Can I compromise my life plans to allow him a place by my side?
