well. "Okay."
"Okay? You won't leave me?" He says with hope in his voice.
I shake my head. "No."
He moves to touch me hesitantly and I don't move. He kisses me on the forehead and each of my eyes. He whispers his undying devotion to me, and I absorb everything numbly from the whole ordeal. W e sit there for hours holding each other. W hile we listen to the sound of our heartbeats beat as one.
Chapter Thirteen
Steal my Girl?
Skylar
It's been a few days since the whole incident occurred, and I'm still on edge. Tonight is the first game since the whole ordeal happened and I'm more than nervous. Ari seems to have just given us an extension on our time together. It doesn't feel like she thinks we’re permanent. But what she doesn't realize is that I won't give up on us.
The game is about to start and I'm warming up on the field, when I get a sick feeling in my gut. When I look up in the bleachers, I see Colin and Abel sitting next to Ari and they are laughing. She hasn't been laughing much lately and seeing her laugh with Colin is scaring me.
The game starts and I do my best not to look in their direction. Because, every time she smiles at them, I feel myself breaking out into a cold sweat. I'm not playing my best game even though I should because there are a lot of scouts out here to watch me. I don't score and we end the game tied 0-0. Usually after each game, she comes on the field to give me a kiss. Whether its win, lose or draw but she doesn't tonight. She is still on the bleachers talking to Colin and Abel . I sulk back into the locker room, not feeling my best. Coach Black sees me and by the look on his face, he doesn't look too happy with me.
"Montgomery what was that out there. That was pure shit." Coach Black fumes.
"Yeah, I know coach, I wasn't feeling well."
"Well, you should have said something so I wouldn't have kept you on the field to play such a crappy game."
"Okay coach."
"Boy let me tell you something. If you want to succeed in this game, you can't be distracted by anything or anyone no matter how pretty it may be. You understand?" He says with a tight voice.
"Yeah, I hear you.”
"I'm not asking if you hear me because I know you hear me. I know you’re not deaf. I'm asking if you understand me."
I murmur, "Yeah I do." I head to my locker not giving Coach Black a second thought or look.
I do my best to take a quick shower so that I can get out of the locker room fast . As I'm about to leave my teammate Kyle stops me. "Hey man, a few of us are going down to the lake to hang out. You down?"
"Nah. Maybe next time."
He smirks at me. "Yeah I wouldn't want to hang around us either with that hot piece-of-ass you got waiting for you."
I lose my cool and I snatch him up by the collar pushing him against the lockers. "If I were you I would never refer to her as a hot piece-of-ass in my presence because I won't be able to control myself, or how I react. You know what scratch that. Don't even think about her. You may live longer if you do that. Got it?"
Terrified he says, "Yeah, man I got it. No disrespect."
With that, I leave the locker room even more pissed off than when I entered.
As I'm walking out of the locker rooms, I look up and notice that Ari is nowhere to be found. I call her cell but she doesn't respond. I start heading towards the parking lot and I hear her laughing. She's standing by the gates with Colin and Rachel. As I'm approaching them I hear Colin say, "You know you seem to be getting prettier and prettier every time I see you."
I hear Arianna reply, "Colin will you behave with all the compliments. You know I have a boyfriend."
Approaching them, I hug Ari from behind. "Yeah, Colin you should stop." I say while glaring at him.
He rolls his eyes and doesn't even respond to me. He continues, "Yeah like I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted …"
Arianna shakes her head. "Behave, Colin."
"Okay? You won't leave me?" He says with hope in his voice.
I shake my head. "No."
He moves to touch me hesitantly and I don't move. He kisses me on the forehead and each of my eyes. He whispers his undying devotion to me, and I absorb everything numbly from the whole ordeal. W e sit there for hours holding each other. W hile we listen to the sound of our heartbeats beat as one.
