the light in his dark

Part 6

I walk toward Kellie. She is sitting in her locker room with other members of her team. Their game is in 10 minutes and as for each of them, I come to see them just before. It's become a little ritual that I've been doing for years now. I've gotten very close to the girls on hher team. They are all very big and very friendly. After each match we go out for a drink and I always accompany them. It allows them to release pressure and celebrate victory or cheer up in the event of a back-up.

"Hello Hello" i say walking in the room. Kellie stand up and wrap me in her arms "I'm glad you're here" 

She's really nervous like her teamate because today isn't a match like the others. It's important because they have to play against a more experienced team and in general it's the reverse.

I cup her cheeks "hey, i'm just everything would be okay" i turn to look at everyone "you guys are amazing when it comes to volleyball and you have no worries to have. Maybe they are more trained but who cares ? You already show a multiple times that traine wasn't the more important. You are together when you trained and when you do matchs. You are a team so everything would be okay." they smile at me "Plus i'll be there so i'm gonna give you chance" they all laugh before getting ready. 

I turn to Kellie "i'll be with Travis and James. I don't know if they're already here but i'll find them and after we're gonna take a drink like always. Just think about Me or Travis or whatever make you less nervous" I grab her shoulders " You got this" 

she smiles ant thanks me before joining the others. Even if she does this sport since she was 9 and did more match that i can count, she is still that nervous like if it was the first time. I know the feeling because every time i have to dance for a show or an audition it would always scares me but Kellie is there and i'm there for her. 

I walk in the stands where there are already many people. I am always anxious when there are many people. In general at her games I am never alone. Either I am with her parents or as today I am with Travis and James. Only I have to find them, so right now I'm on my own. I grab my phone to call James or Travis. When i lock my eyes on the screen and search for one of their number i see the name 𝘑𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 on it. 

I answer and bring the phone to my ears. "Allo ?"I heard him speaking but i understand nothing because of people's scream. I hold my ear with my finger "James ? I don't hear anything. I'm walking toward the enter" I can guess a "okay" coming from his side and then i hang up. 

One moment later my eyes are locked with beautiful Hazel eyes. He complely turns to face me and kiss my cheek "i'm glad to see you again little one" he smirks. I smile at him and say hello to Travis. 

"How is she ? Did you see her ?" Travis ask. 

"I see her and she is nervous but she always like that so no worries" he nods his head and we go find our seat. Travis is in my left and james in my right. I can't lie, James intimidates me. I don't know what make me feel like that. Maybe because he's tall and i'm not or because he has power and i don't. Maybe it's everything that made me feel that way. 

When we sit, His thigh and arms are touching mines and he can feel me tense because he turns to me and give me that smirk who make my knees weak. I turn to him and bring my lips to his ear so he can hear me 

"I have to draw an office for my art lesson. It would be a part of our graduation. Can i draw yours ?" He doesn't hesitate "come after the match"  He says that on a stoic tone. 

"you sure ? I can come in the week, i don't want to be a bother for you tonig-" he cuts my by grabbing my chin "you'll never be a bother" i smile and nod.
