Sweetening The Deal

By Sara Coxin

Jared is a sports agent, a damn good one at that. He prides himself in being able to close deals with some of the most famous and wanted professional athletes. He's also broken barriers by being an openly gay sports agent, a rarity in the business. When two of the hottest free agents in professional football become available, Jared immediately gets a call from his boss. He really wants Jared to come in as soon as possible, because the two free agents are coming to their office.

Jared rushed in to work and readies himself. However, a couple of minutes before the meeting, he gets a call from his boyfriend, Quincy. It's not a long call, and it's definitely not a happy one as Quincy informs Jared that he just had a one night stand. Jared holds in his fury as he heads out to talk to the two big black football players.

The two powerful black men try to negotiate around Jared but he's too good. He gives them the best offer they could probably imagine but they both want more thing to sweeten the deal... Jared. Is Jared able to agree to their demands or does everything fall through?

Jared sighed as he slowly rolled out of bed. His phone was gently buzzing while letting out a little musical note to let him know it was time to get up. He reached over, grabbed his phone and swiped at the screen, turning off the alarm.

His phone rang again, confusing Jared as it buzzed back to life. He looked at the screen and noticed it was a call, not the alarm. It was his boss, most likely wondering if he was planning to come in to work or not.

Hey Sam, Jared answered.

Jared! Are you still at home?

Yeah, just getting ready to head into the office, Jared answered.

Good, you're not going to believe this, his boss said excitedly.

What am I not going to believe? He asked, sounding unenthused.

There are two big defensive linebackers with Super Bowl rings, looking to get a new agent, Sam answered.

And are you actually going to let me get a shot at them? Jared asked.

You know it, I said I owed you one last time, now I'm giving you two favors, Sam answered.

I'm pretty sure you owe me more than one, Jared replied.

Hey, you want this opportunity or not? Sam questioned.

Of course I want it. Thank you Sam, I'll be in within the hour, Jared replied.

All right, see you in a bit, Sam said as he hung up.

He walked over to the kitchen to prepare some. After opening the refrigerator, he arched his back, stretching out his spine a bit. His eyes glazed over the top few shelves and landed right in the middle.

Hm... got some cheese... where were the eggs... ah, there they are, Jared said to himself as he pulled out some ingredients for some scrambled eggs.

He pulled out a small pan and placed it on the stovetop. He pulled out his phone and turned on the stove while browsing through his email. There were a couple of urgent emails from Sam, all about the same thing, there were two free agents that were available for him to pick up. He yawned and looked through his contacts, trying to find his friend.

Ah, there you are, he said as his finger landed on his friend's name.

He dialed the number and waited as the phone rang. After a couple of minutes, his friend answered.

Jared, what's up?

Hey girlfriend, are you in the office right now? Jared asked, his voice changing in pitch and his arm subconsciously moving to his hip.

Yeah, Sam is all over the place. He's been asking for you all morning. Something about...

Yeah, yeah, two free agents. Do you know who they are? Jared asked.

There was pause on the other end. Lauren was most likely browsing through the company portal to dig up any information. She worked in advertising and usually was the central point for any rumors, gossip, anything. Jared and Lauren had first met in college, and he had actually come out of the closet to her first. He trusted her like family.

Oh... wow, wait, I think I know these guys. Jeremiah Jackson and Russel Johnson, they're defensive linebackers, I think... Lauren said.

What? I didn't know they were free agents, Jared replied.

Oh wow, they're both beefy. What I would do to them if I had a chance, Lauren commented.

Jared laughed and shook his head. Lauren, like Jared, had been very adventurous during college. She had really taken a liking
