Tori's POV

"Are you ready to be destroyed?" Pete asked.

"Question is, are you ready to go home crying to your mommy because you got beat by a girl?" I asked.

"Big talk from a short stack." Pete said.

"You wanna be the pot or the kettle?" I asked.

Patrick was laughing with Jamie on the sidelines.

"Alright. One on one. Let's go, Petey." I said.

"Do I whistle or something?" Patrick asked.

I rolled my eyes and kicked the ball to the far end of the yard, and pete and I raced after it. He beat me to it by a hair, but I shoulder checked him and took the ball from him, punting it through the two sticks that marked off my goal.

"You bitch." pete said, but he was smiling.

I laughed. God, this was the best day. I was laughing more than I had laughed in a long time.

"I was gonna take it easy on you, but not anymore, Charlotte." pete said.

He kicked the ball this time, and was able to score on me. We went back and forth through our whole game, and then Patrick called sudden death.

"Next goal wins!" He yelled.

"Ready to eat some grass?" Pete asked.

"Ready to call your mom?" I asked.

Patrick kicked the ball for us, straight in the air, and pete and I watched it fly. I knew he was going to try and hit it with his head in the direction of his goal.

I got a running start, ready to jump. Probably worried that I would get hurt, Pete caught me, missing the ball.

"Sucker!" I yelled, sprinting around him and scoring the last goal.

"Gooooooooal!" I shouted.

"Nooooooo!" Pete yelled.

"Suck it!" I said to him.

"Fuck you, Eaton! You cheated!" He said.

"Did not." I said.

He rolled his eyes and high fived me. Then he pulled me into a hug and whispered in my ear.

"It's nice to see you smile." He said.

"It's nice to feel happy." I said.

I went and gave Patrick a sloppy kiss. "I love you." I said.

"I love you too. But you need a shower." He said.

"Take one with me." I said with a grin.

Patrick blushed deep red. "I need to talk to you about that." He said.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing bad. We'll wait till company is gone." He said.

Well, fuck.
