I'm sorry to all my readers if I haven't updated for so long! No apologies anymore but here's another chapter. Vote, comment, private message me to know all my readers are still alive. :)
My knees felt like jello. Sweat engulfed my whole shirt from the intense physical activity. We’re almost there. If only I could get this shot. Keeping the ball out of reach from the opponent, I thread my way through the field.
Almost there.
Almost there.
If only this huge beast will move out of the way.
On my peripheral vision, I see Phil coming through my way.
He was able to distract the player blocking me. And now its his turn to block his movements. My relationship with Phil has changed so much ever since that first game of the season. I can’t believe that I used to hate him so much. The team seeing that I’m okay with him, also made them forgive him. And I’m not sure if there is direct correlation with that, but our team has been playing better. And you know what since Phil’s not a big douche anymore, we actually give more effort in teaching him how to play. And he is doing good. Who knows he had the potential?
Phil was doing a great job blocking that burly player from taking the ball from me. We were nearing the goal when there was an open for me to split out. With one big kick, I aimed the ball towards the net. I kicked it too strongly, that I fell roughly on my back.
Before I could even recover from the fall, I heard screams from the crowd. I can see my teammates running towards me. Phil lifted me up and the others followed. I couldn’t help plaster a smile on my face with the sight of the ball hanging around the net.
We won! We won!
“Hell yeah!” I screamed in exhiliration.
We freaking won! I looked towards the cheering crowds looking for her. She was jumping up and down, obviously in glee for our team’s win. She hugged Amanda and looked back towards me. When our gaze met, she blew me a kiss and I made the cheesy move of catching it. She laughed and I can’t help but grin.
Phil and the guys put me down. We huddled together, sweaty but exhilarated by the win. We won the semi finals! One more game, and we can actually be champion for this season. I can’t help but look forward to that.
I jogged towards the bleachers to where my girl and my friends were.
“That was an awesome kick, bro! I even caught it on cam.” Allen complimented me.
“Thanks. Let me see the vid later.” I screamed over the noise in the stadium.
“I’ll meet you outside the locker room?” I directed to Cass.
She nodded, still grinning at me. “Scrub up good.” She scrunched her nose cutely. “I can smell your reeking socks from here.”
Too bad, I can’t reach her from down here. But that statement earned her my smelly towel. I heard her screech and I can’t help laugh as I jog towards the locker room.
“Good game, baby.” She stood up on her tip toes and gave a snappy kiss on my left cheek and then the other side.
“Thank you”, I replied, grinning like a fool. Encircling my arms around her hips as I kiss her softly on her red lips. “Where are the others?”
“They went first to Yellowcab to reserve us a table.” She backed away from me, just enough to see my face. With both of her hands on my shoulder, she asked, “That was quite a hard fall. Is your back okay?”
