The Imperfect Perfectionists

5.The Soccer Match

OLIVER

"Hey Oliver!" Meghan said.

"Hey!" I said.

"Hey girl!" Meghan says looking at Cynthia.

"Hey! What's up?" Cy said.

"Nothing much. So are you going for the soccer match?" She asked turning back to me.

There was an annual soccer match every year that happened between the schools of the tri state area. And always our school would be in the top three.

"Nah. I don't think so." I said. "I would rather just sit and listen to music."

"Oh come on Oliver. Don't be such a spoilsport! We're all going. Casey, Gabrielle, Brandon and me. Oh and Cy-"

"Wait, did I just hear my name?" Cynthia said. "Cause I'm not going if Oliver is not going."

Everyone froze.

I mean I know we're dating but it does not mean that our relationship is so intense. Oliver thought.

Wow! I mean I didn't know their relationship had gone to this level. Meghan thought. Meghan smiled. Behind all the layers of fat, Oliver was a nice guy.

Meghan thought.

"Okay fine let's go." I said breaking the awkward silence.

"Hey! What's up?" I asked.

"Nothing much. So are you going for the soccer match?" Meghan asked turning back to Oliver.

Say no. Say no. Say no.

"Nah. I don't think so." Oliver said. "I would rather just sit and listen to music."

Yes!!!!

"Oh come on Oliver. We're all going. Casey, Gabrielle, Brandon and me. Oh and Cy-"

"Wait; did I just hear my name?" I said. "Cause I'm not going if Oliver is not going."

Meghan and Oliver were trying to hide their surprised looks. Wait did I say something wrong? "Cause I'm not going if Oliver is not going." Oh!!!! Damn!!

"Okay fine let's go." Oliver said trying to end the awkward silence.

Oh no I'd have to see Jake play soccer.

I hate to accept this considering that I have a boyfriend but my ex-boyfriend is really good looking. I mean really good looking. He had blonde dishevelled hair, blue eyes that you can get lost in. Oh man he was good looking.

And I have to see him play soccer all sweaty and hot and red. Oh hell is beckoning.

OLIVER

Casey, Gabrielle, Brandon, Meghan, Cy and me entered the world of jocks. Jake was in the team meeting. Today was the final match of the tournament. We all sat on a patch of grass that wasn't so pokey and then we started chuckling at our jokes and then this happened:

"Cy, Jake's playing today" Casey said.

Cy held my hand. Tight."Yeah, so?" She asked.

"No reason" Case said smirking with her usual evil smirk.

And then the all the players came on the ground. Taylor looked at Meghan and said hi, Jake looked at Cy and just turned away and positioned himself on the field.

The whistle blowed for kick-off.

Jake looked at me. I swear I could see him blushing. But then he turned away and positioned himself on the field.

The whistle blowed for kickoff.

Well long story short. We won.

After the win, everyone was high fiving Jake. And then out of the blue, he removed his sweaty shirt. You could see his well-defined six pack., his completely amazing body structure. Damn! And then he started moving towards us. "Hey Cyn!" He said.

"Hey" I said hesitantly.

"So yeah I'm having a party at my place to celebrate the win. You're all invited. Oh didn't see you guys there" and brought Oliver and Brandon into 

a bro hug one after the other. And then I don't know how but Jake and I got stuck in an eye lock. And then I looked at Oliver and then back at Jake. Jake leaned in closer and kissed me. He came out of it. "I'm sorry."

"It's fine." I said and brought Jake for another kiss.
