Life at Your Feet (Sequel to The Player)

The owner of your heart

“OOOOW!” Robert yelled, moving his face away from Jessica’s hands

She took a deep breath “Are you going to stop being a pussy about this?!”

“IT HURTS!”

“It will hurt even more if you keep moving! Lemme take care of them!”

He sighed “Ok”

Jess took another wet compress to clean one of the latest scratches

“AAAAH!”

“I HAVEN’T EVEN TOUCH IT YET!”  Jessica yelled “GOSH, you’re intolerable!”

Robert took another beep breath “alright, alright, sorry!”

“Now you take care of them!” She stood up to leave

“Oh, c’mon baby!” He quickly went after her “I won’t make a noise now! Promise!” He hugged her from behind, a smile on his face “You’re so sexy when you’re like this”

She took a deep breath “Just get that fine ass on the couch again” she impatiently said

He smirked and went to the couch again, Queenie quickly sat on his legs

“Even Queenie behaves better” Jessica muttered “Or do you want to show up on that game and later interview with a swollen face, with twice your normal size?!”

“I love you too, baby” Robert whispered “It is going to be just fine”

“Of course it is, if you stop being a pussy”

“I’m not a pussy!”

“Oh, really?!”

Robert smiled and pushed Jessica down to his lips, kissing her passionately.

“You’re…hmm,” she mumbled “doing it on purpose, you dork”

He smiled caressing her back, pushing her to half lay on top of him

She shocked her head “Gosh, if you’re like this now, I can only imagine the annoying old man you’ll be. How will I put up with you?!”

He chuckled “You’ll manage baby”

She took a deep breath, a small smile on her face, and kissed him again

“Hmmm, Jess?” He asked

“Hm?”

“Will you come to the game with me? Be by my side on the stands?”

She looked at him, seriously, not sure of what to answer

“I could go alone to the interview anyway, it’s fine. But… I’d love to have you by my side” He smiled “It’s not like we’re hiding anymore”

“I know” She smiled “I just… I don’t think the public likes me that much after the poor Nicole Williams got cheated”

Robert frowned “Well, I’ll make sure to explain everything. And to tell the entire world how much I love you”

Jessica took a deep breath “I’ll go with you…”

Robert smiled widely

“Just… stay close to me”

He kissed her “all the time, Jess”

She smiled and let herself melt against his kiss, but not for long, because the doorbell rang.

Robert frowned “Waiting for someone?!”

“No…” Jessica stood up to open the door

Her eyes widened when she saw Robert’s parents.

“Robert was not home and… we assumed he might be here?!”  Elsie spoke

Jessica smiled “He is”

She hugged Jessica, as well as Robert’s father “How is he?!” she asked

“Oh, he’s ok. He’s just…”

“Baby? Who’s there?!” Robert walked to the door

“An… idiot!” His mother snapped

Robert’s eyes widened “I’m sorry!”

“Don’t you ever dare to scare me like that again, Robert Lockhart!” she yelled approaching him

“Woah” Robert’s father said “I love it when she gets this mad!” he said loudly

Jessica laughed.

Everything was going back to normal.

Jessica actually thought showing herself to the world would be worse. Robert stood by her side the entire time, as both were surrounded by paparazzi and other reports, while entering the stadium for the game. It never stopped there. They were both exposed during the entire time.

There were a few awkward and mean questions shouted out for Jessica, but Robert made sure to protect and defend her. But, on the other side, she also received such nice compliments, and she really appreciated those.

“See, baby?” Robert smiled as both entered the building, full of people “Some can actually see our love. Some noticed how you saved me at the President’s house”

“I didn’t…” she replied, but was interrupted by his kiss

“You did.” He smiled at her

Jessica met lots of new people, she was stunned on how everyone looked up to Robert and wanted desperately to talk to him. She smiled, he had all the support, and she was thankful it wasn’t only from her and his family. His entire team and team workers supported him.

Oh, and not only.

When both finally sat in the stands, five minutes before the game started, they noticed how the entire stadium was covered by Robert’s images. One huge image of him, with a ball at his feet, was being held by thousands of people in the main stand.

All of them screamed his name and, when Robert noticed he was being filmed live, on the main screen of the stadium, he smiled widely, before pushing Jessica for a big passionate kiss.

Everyone cheered them, it was as if the game was no longer the reason of all the people being there.

That reason was Robert.

He looked at the entire stadium again, his typical perfect smile on his face “Thank you” he said.

He was not heard, but everyone could understand the words by reading his lips.

Jessica smiled proudly, she could feel his grip tightening in her hand, his heartbeat fast next to her.

“They love you, baby” Jessica smiled at him

Robert looked at her, his eyes getting watery “Jess…” he gulped “I want to play on that field again”

She held his face softly “You will, baby” she whispered “I know you will”

She touched his heart “You fought against your heart so many times. And you always won. There is no way it will fail you now” she smiled

“Besides…” she raised his hand to touch her chest “It has double strength now, right?” she smiled

He smiled widely “I’m the owner of your heart?”

“All of it” she kissed him passionately
