Forever Yours

Chapter 23

This chapter is partially a flashback.

Angie's POV
We got out of the car after parking and Nathaniel cheered before running ahead. It reminded me of his soccer practice a week ago.

~Flashback~
"Havana! Pass!" I heard Nathaniel  yell from the side. Since he was a coach and captain of the team, he didn't practice sometimes that way he could coach. His whistle hung from his neck and his forehead glistened with sweat.

A good friend of mine, Amy, cheered for her best friend. We both had agreed to watch today's practice. Amy brought a blanket so we could sit on it on the bleachers and I brought snacks and water.

Nathaniel jogged his way over to me and took the granola bar out of my hand. "Hey! I was gonna eat that!"

"Too bad." He sassed. Amy laughed at us.

"Please tell me you guys are together." She giggled and I choked on my own spit. I mean sure I have a major crush on him but we could never be together.

"No. She's just my cousin." His words hurt and said one thing, but his eyes said another. Just then we heard Cameron yell from the field.

"Watch where you rainbow the fucking ball, bitch!" He screamed at Havana. She jumped on him and slapped him across the face. Nathaniel sprinted towards them yelling and blowing his whistle.

He grabbed Cameron by the ear and dragged him to the sideline. "We do not use profanity on MY field! Do you understand!?" Cameron nodded. "If I hear it again, especially towards a girl, you're off the team! Five laps. Now!" He roared.

Nathaniel then looked the rest of his team dead in the eye. "This is how my team is run. Miranda has had countless victories and won several championships. I do not tolerate misbehavior understood! I can and will kick you off the team. Locker rooms, now!" He shrieked. The team dropped their gear in fear and ran. Havana chuckled as she walked towards Amy.

"Nice one out there." I heard Amy say as she and Havana walked away from the field. I smiled and walked towards the field. It was peaceful and quiet with the exception of Nathaniel’s cleats hitting the soft grass as he kicked the balls into the goal. One by one they made it in.

I don't think he noticed I was here and I didn't realize how loud I was I singing.

Wishing you were somehow here again
Wishing you were somehow near,
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed,
Somehow you would be here.

I hit every note perfectly. "Some voice you got there." Nathaniel flashed me his signature smile. I blushed and played with the grass. He sat beside me on the grass. It was a warm autumn afternoon. I was wearing shorts and a plain tee due to the warmth.

"Thanks." I finally breathed out. "Do you wanna come with me to the Disney store?" I asked squinting my eyes due to the sun.

"Is that even a question? Of course I'll come." He chuckled and leaned forward. He kept leaning until his soft lips touched mine. They lingered for only a second before he stood up. "I'll change then we'll head out?" I nodded. "Alright then."
~Flashback Over~

Yeah, that was my first kiss, not the one in the car. Romantic right? A sweaty soccer player kisses the singer.

Phillip was in front of me so I jumped on his back. "Angie what are you doing?" I grabbed my phone and pulled up Julian's facetime contact.
