maybe i just want to be yours {zion kuwonu}

~12~

brandon puts his phone away, as well as it duffle bag and lays back down on the bench, with his head on my lap.

"babe, do you mind playing with my hair again?" i will just let him calling me "babe" pass for tonight.

"not at all." i start to play with his and we have a conversation.

"this is pretty bold to start off with but, who is your girlfriend?" i ask.

"nobody, single. i also know what you're thinking, or what people probably said about me. no, i do not just go around fucking random girls. i stopped doing that my sophomore year, then i decided to change."

"good to know."

"you? got a boyfriend?"

"nope, i have never been in a relationship before."

"you're shitting me right?"

"nope."

"so i'm guessing no sexual interactions."

"nope, i am cleaner than purified water."

...

before i know it, the game ends and we win. brandon and i talked about more things, not just relationships. he is actually a really good person to talk to. he listens, he does not black out, and he stays on topic.

"arreaga are you okay?" the coach asks him.

"yes, perfectly fine. i had a wonderful nurse take care of me. since our medical person didn't show up, i think ana should replace her," brandon says. okay maybe he is fine. then that meant everything he said was true. well something good came out of today.

"ana, you are more than welcome to be our new medic. our team captain approves of you, so will i."

i quickly respond, "sure i would love to be a medic."

the coach nods his head. i guess that's that, i am now the soccer team's medic. wait, i do not even know the coach's name. whatever i will just ask austin. speaking of austin, he pulls me to the side, "what the fuck ana?"

"what?"

"what do you mean, 'what?' ana! i told you to be careful with brandon."

"he is actually a nice guy. and the coach made me do that. what is the coach's name?"

"coach malone. okay, i get that, but you just agreed to be our medic. also, you were not cheering for me. i saw you guys laughing and you were all touchy with his hair."

"austin, it's okay. i think brandon is just messed up because of the fall. watch him forget about me tomorrow. and it is good that am i your team's medic so i can take care of you too. i do not think christine wants her boyfriend to be busted up."

"okay fine." he sighs.

"i will be fine austin," i assure him.

he fakes a smile, then hugs me. i scan around the stadium. great! zion and i just made eye contact. he gets up out of his seat then starts to walk towards me.
