WALKING IN MY SHOES

58. Confession

(warning:lots of swearing/cursing ahead👀😂😈)

~Zack's POV~

right before I make the winning touchdown I make eye contact with Madilyn making my heart warm that her eyes were already on me, so were a hundred others but at this moment hers was the only ones that mattered.

Madilyn's presents made me play even better than I normally do, just knowing that her eyes are on me makes me feel special.

I was shocked to see her here today, I thought she had a date with Ryan...but just knowing she was here to support me gives me a warm tingling feeling in my chest.

It was the cutest thing to watch her cheer for me with confusion knowing damn well she didn't know a thing that was going on.

I was hosted into the air by my teammates as cheers erupted from the audience. when they set coach came up to us to congratulate us.

"Good game Rainford and Valentino...the scouts couldn't keep their eyes off of your'll" he says giving me and Max a pat on the back and moves on to congratulate the rest of the team.

"The scouts eyes weren't the only ones on you" Max says looking pointedly with a smirk at Lyn.

"I could say the same to you" I say pointedly looking at Lexi making him chuckle.

"The only eyes that matter... catch you later man" he says running up to the crowd to join Lexi... I'm sure his gonna go ask her to be his girlfriend real soon.

I keep my eyes on Madilyn as her hazel eyes sparkle and the beautiful smile on her lips are like honey drawing me in like a fly.

I don't know what possessed me to start walking up to her but that's what I did.

I think it's about time I confess to her... it's better then running away from the truth, which is...I like her.

Ever since I learnt I have feelings for her, she lives rent free in my mind as thoughts of her consume me daily and as cringe as that sounds... it's true.

It hurt like hell to know she likes Ryan but seeing her here today gives me hope that maybe I still have a chance...and I sure as hell am not letting it go.

She's just so amazing and I want to be the one to keep that beautiful smile on her face...I want to be the one she looks at with those sparkly hazel eyes of hers that look gold in the sun... I want to be the one she kisses with those soft pink lips that I never stopped thinking about from the time we almost kissed.

But before I make it up to her I feel arms wrap around my neck as lips press against mine but I don't kiss back.

' it's not the lips I wish to kiss'

Tiffany tries to deepen the kiss making me push her back harshly.

"What the fuck!" she gasps. I should be asking her that but my mind is to clouded as I catch sight of lyn leaving, her eyes shine but not with joy they glisten with tears making my heart ache.

I try running up to her but feel hands grab my forearm.

"she's not worth it-" Tiffany starts but I cut her off.

"Just fuck off, If I wasn't so against hitting women, you'd be dead by now... she's more worth it then you'll ever be" I say pulling my arm out of her grip making her gasp at the force I used. I rush to find Madilyn....I have to explain the misunderstanding.

"What the fuck is wrong with you" Lexi says pushing on my chest but my eyes look frantically around in search for 'my cupcake'.

"Where is Lyn" I ask ignoring her question.
