Without You

Part 38 "The good feeling"

"Kill them!!" Olivia screams out as she watches the guys play the game.

She's only slightly scaring Izzy and me.

"Olivia, they're winning," Izzy reminds her.

"I like to yell," Olivia shrugs.

As of right now, it's the end of the fourth quarter of the state championship.

The score is 58-25 and we're winning. With about five minutes left in this quarter, there's not that big of a chance the other team could come back and win it.

Speaking of that, we just got another touchdown.

I watch Luke as he's walking off the field from the touchdown he had just thrown.

His head turns towards me and it looks like he's looking at me but with his helmet on, it's hard to tell.

He takes his helmet off and our eyes connect. He sends me a smile and another gorgeous wink.

A blush appears on my cheeks and realizing it won't go away anytime soon, I decide to get up and go to the concession stand.

"Do you guys want anything?" I ask the girls as I stand up from my seat, they both shake their heads no, paying intense attention to the game.

I pay for my Airheads and Luke's sour Skittles before returning to my seat. I couldn't just see that packet of Skittles without getting them for him.

Before I know it, the clock shows no time left. The side of our stadium erupts in cheers as they bring out the huge trophy.

They run it onto the field and the guys, especially Eli, jump up and down in a big circle chanting something I can't understand.

Wanting to capture the moment, I take a few pictures them all.

After their celebrations, they don't go into the locker room. Every single one of them walks off the field and up to the stands.

*LUKE'S POV*

I make my way straight to Aubrey.

From behind her, I reach my arm around her waist and scoop her up to me. I kiss those delicious lips of hers, then set her back down.

"You won," she crumples her fists and shakes them excitedly in front of her chest, which is something I find so fucking adorable.

She wraps her arms around my waist and hugs me. Before I can even react, she pulls away like I'm on fire.

"You're all sweaty," she crinkles her nose and I swear heaven shone down at her at that moment.

"Let's take pictures!" she grabs onto my hand and she pulls me in front of Izzy and Olivia.

I'm really liking her 'in charge' mood.

I place one of my arms on her waist, holding her close to me and I smile. Well, I smile when she hits me and tells me to smile.

Even a few times during the pictures though, I can't keep myself from looking at her glowing self. And that damn dimple on her cheek.

"Now, " she turns to me, "you need a shower before anything."

A smirk appears on my face and I nod at her demand.

"Also," she grabs the back of my jersey when I turn around to head back down to the locker room to shower, "I got you these."

In her dainty little hands, there is the best candy ever made. Sour Skittles.

I swear, this girl just keeps getting better.
