More Than One Night

chapter twenty-one

Aurora

The crowd roars as another goal is scored. I have been following Logan around the stadium, unable to take my eyes off him.

Number Seven.

I thought I would feel uncomfortable in this box alone but there is quite a few fellow loners sat up here. Either girlfriends or wives of the guys playing.

Logan is doing brilliant. Watching him move around the pitch effortlessy in his now dirty football kit. I'm so proud of him. Of what him even playing today means.

And of course, how sexy he looks in a football kit. A constant smile on my face as I keep focus on him running.

"Hey, you work at WPS don't you?" A figure at the side of me makes my eyes leave the field and look who is beside me.

"Yes, nice to see you again JJ." I smile. JJ Hill is here, and talking to me.

"I have known Sarah for a very long time and she has never let an intern assist on a high profile shoot before." She touches my arm briefly as she speaks.

"Yeah, I'm really happy I got the chance to help out on your photoshoot the other day."

"Hey love." A man approaches JJ from behind, wrapping his arms around her slender waist.

"Oh hi darling. This is my partner Nathan. Babe, this is- sorry, what was your name again?"

"Oh, it's Rory." I smile at the beautiful couple I'm stood with. My anxious brain kicking in asking myself am I dressed good enough and why didn't I apply any extra make up today.

"Hi, nice to meet you." Nathan holds his hand out for me to shake.

"She works for Sarah at WPS."

"Oh that's cool. You been there long?"

"Actually, this was my first week, I just got an internship there."

"She was good though, she helped change the lighting to get the perfect shot." JJ pushes her long hair over her shoulder. She has a rather smug attitude while she speaks, I get the feeling that money and fame does that to you.

We hear the crowd errupting, which turns my attention back to the field only to see that Logan's side has won. What a great game. I've never really watched football too in depth before. My Dad sometimes had it on so explain the offside rule and everything to me but I never got into supporting a team or anything.

As they all take a team photo I gather my bag and jacket and descend down the stairs to go and meet the players on the field.

"You here for someone?" JJ finds me again and asks as we walk through the corridors.

"Yeah my boyfriend." I smile.

"Didn't expect that." I head her mumble but loud enough that I could hear.

I walk ahead and try to find Logan in the crowd but get pulled by my arm to one side.

"Hey Rory, Logan didn't stick around." Luke whispers in my ear. My heart sinks, I knew playing would bring back memories for him today.

"Where is he?" I ask, hoping he hasn't taken off yet.

"To his car round the back. He said he needed a minute before we head to the next event."

"Oh okay." 

"How about you stay with me and Harry for a bit and we can find him after?"

"Um, I would like to see if he is alright actually. Thanks Luke." I say before turning on my heel and running into the car park.
