We had just won our match, and I was heading to meet up with Eric and Amira in the stands. I was walking up to them when I noticed the guy that came to get Amira from the cafe the other day. "Hey guys, how'd you like the game?" I asked approaching them. "It was brilliant, how come I haven't experienced this before." Amira said cheerful. "That's because you kept your nose in books." The guy said putting his arm around her and I could see Eric getting annoyed. "And you are?" I asked extending my hand out to him. "I'm Matthew." He said shaking my hand. "Nice to meet you." I said dryly. "So, do you wanna go out and celebrate?" Amira asked moving away from Matthew. "Yeah, how about we get drinks?" Matthew suggested. "No thanks, I don't drink." I said shrugging my shoulders. "What kind of man doesn't drink?" He added like it was the most absurd thing he had ever heard. "Just drop it." Amira said giving Matthew the deaf glare of the century. "How about we just celebrate another time? Eric suggested trying to break the awkwardness. "Yeah, thats a good idea, and thanks Eric and Amira for coming." I said turning to walk away. And I was about to enter the tunnel when I heard Amira call out for me and I turned around to see her standing before me. "I'm sorry about Matthew." She sighed. "Yeah, you deserve better company." I said walking closer towards her. "I know." She said as she inhaled deeply. "Then why not change it?" I asked putting my hands in my pocket. "I'm trying." She said grabbing my hands which took me by surprise. "I don't wanna hurt you." I said running my hands through my hair. "I don't want you to either." She said giving me a kiss on the cheek and walking back towards Matthew and Erica.
