Lost In His Eyes - Jakob Delgado

Chapter 8- Soccer Games and hand slips

As Jakob came out of his room with his soccer uniform on and his boots in one hand he was now fidgeting more and more, he was normally all calm about this stuff and didn't worry too much but he knows a soccer scout will be there today so he was freaking out a little.

"remember what I told you Jakob."I said in a soft and reassuring voice. "you will do great, don't stress one bit."

He began to smile a little more as I put my arms around his neck.

"buddy you will fine." Chris added as he made his way up the stairs not far behind Ethan.

"Yea and I know this is a bad time but your mums out front" Ethan said pointing downstairs.

I then decided to take Jakob's hand in mine as our fingers locked, I tighten my grip so he knew I was here for him. We then made our way downstairs, grabbing Jakob's bag on the way out.

Jakob then quickly ran to get me another one of his jumpers as the one from before was soaking wet. "Here, so you don't get cold" he handed me his soccer jumper with his number on the back '38.' I smiled as we made our way outside to the car following close behind the boys.

It was around a 20 minute car ride so we all just talked and mucked around in the back. Jakob's nerves seemed to have gone as he looked as if he was enjoying himself, well at least for now. Once we were there we all got out and waited for Jakob's mum. A few of Jakob's soccer friends then came over as Ethan got Jakob's soccer bag out of the boot.

"hey Cara" Jakob's friend Lachie said as he pulled me into a tight hug and as he was doing so his hands started to move further down my back down past my waist as I quickly yet softly pushed him off not wanting to cause a scene. Jakob was talking to Zac some other friend so he didn't see anything although I think Chris may have.

I then stepped back lining up next to Ethan and Chris. Chris lightly tapped me and asked if i was ok. "Thanks for asking Chris, but lets just keep it between us for now we don't want anything to put Jakob off his game" I whispered back to Chris.

He then nodded "good idea"

I didn't think much of what Lachie just did as it was probably just a slip of a hand or something. We then wished the boys good luck as I hugged Jakob tight and kissed his cheek softly before making our way up the stands where we were sitting. I then sat in between Chris and Ethan as I pulled out Jakob's jumper that was neatly folded on my lap and put it on as I knew it was probably going to get cold fairly soon. As I put on his jumper I could smell Jakob's intoxicating scent which put me in a trance as it brushed against my noes and slid over my head. He had, had the same scent since forever and it always seemed to draw me in. I then put my hands together blowing warm air into my palms before rubbing them together. The game was just about to start and the boys were getting into their position on the field. I Could see Jakob kneeling tying his laces tightly before standing up and moving his hair from his eyes. Before I knew it the game had started and I began to notice how good of a player Jakob really was as normally I didn't pay as much attention if I'm being quite honest. About half way into the game the crowd goes wild as Lachie scores a perfect goal the ball sliding right under the goalies feet. Jakob's coach then called a time out and the boys ran to the side bench when something caught me eye.

Jakob's POV:

Lachie then scores a goal and we all go mad right before our coach calls a time out. As I walk over to the side bench I hear Lachie say something to Zac.

"Do you reckon that will be enough to get Cara? hopefully its a good enough reason for her to say bye bye to Jakob"

It took me a while to process what he had just said but when I did there was nothing going to hold me back.

"What did you just say?" I said as anger was building up inside me as my face was now inches away from his.

"nothing" Lachie replied laughing slightly.

My anger got the better of me and my body took control as I grabbed Lachies shirt and pushed him up against the fence. He just let out a slight laugh as I raised my fist that was in position to take a swing at him. "I said what did you say?"

"mate well if I'm being quite honest I heard your girl can be a bit of a slut sometimes so i'm sure she wouldn't have a problem with me getting on her, she defiantly didn't have a problem with it earlier when she was basically putting my hands on her ass."

"your so full of shit Lachie and buddy you listen to me and listen to me good. never speak about her that way again"

Before I knew it Zac was pushing me off Lachie and the coach was screaming "your benched delgado and don't you even think about being in the running for MVP this year." I could now see the whole crowd gasping and Cara looking at me as Ethan and Chris stood up, there eyes widened.

Cara POV:

I don't know what is happening but it looks as if Jakob's about to hurt Lachie. But over what? Maybe he did see what happened earlier? gosh I hope not. I decide to stay with Ethan and Chris to avoid any more dramas. Ethan then grabbed my hand in a friendly way and clutched it tight as he knew I was probably confused as well as completely and utterly scared which was true. I just sat there not knowing what to do or say. What if Jakob thought I was letting him do that to me? Wait what was that even what it was all about? So many questions seem to be running through my head lately and I never seem to be able to answer even one.

The game was now finished and Jakob was getting held back by the coach for a talk. We then all made our way down to the field as we waited, Ethan holding me close to his chest as the temperature was dropping vastly. Jakob's mum was also standing with the coach so it was just me,Ethan and Chris waiting down on the grass. I soon saw Jakob and his mum make their way over to us and my stomach began to turn, I had no idea why. I could tell Jakob wasn't in the mood to talk as he bushed past me whispering in my ear "I will explain when we get home" his voice was a little more husky then usual and his head was hanging low. I didn't know what was going to happen now? I guess I was just going to have to wait and see.
