Today is Saturday and I have a soccer game so before I'm listening to some music to pump me up.. I click on the Pandora app and let the music play. The first song to play is "Good Girls" by 5sos and I start to sing along

"So turn around and forget what you thought cause good girls are bad girls who haven't been caught,"

Then after that song plays "Live While We're Young" by one direction which is my favorite. Pandora is great this morning. I finish putting my hair up and turn off the music grabbing my phone. I shuffle down the stairs to put my cleats on.

We pull up to the so familiar soccer field that I've played on since the age of three.

I set my bag down on the bleachers and take my ball out dribbling over to my team. We start running a drill and as I'm going back to my spot in line from the goal I get a glance of a person who looks out of place.

It can't be.

It is! Ace came to watch me play my game! I see Naomi's car pull up as it does at every game and she goes to sit in the crowd, when she happens to run into Ace. They start to make small talk I can tell by Naomi's face that she only has when she can't think of what to talk about.

THWACK!

As I was watching the scene happen in the crowd I forgot I was playing soccer and a ball had come soaring from the goalie's foot and straight into my face. How embarassing! I decide I'm just gonna pretend it didn't happen and I continue with the drill determined to stay focused.

As the refs whistle blows the ball immediately comes off Sam's foot and straight to mine. I dribble down the field as passes and other things happen that looks like a complete jumble to the crowd as I lightly tap the ball and it rolls into the corner of the goal.

Before I knew it the game was over and we won 4-0.

I gather up my stuff and start to walk over to where Naomi and Ace are waiting.

They both tell me great game and Naomi hugs me. As Sam is leaving with his family he tells me good game and I turn around to return the comment when all of a sudden I feel arms wrap around me.

I spin around as best I can considering I'm basically being held captive in warm arms.

It's Ace!

I don't know how to respond and I remember Naomi always saying "just let it happen" so I do and wrap my arms around him.

"How about we take this star soccer player out for some ice cream?" Ace glances at Naomi .

"I have swim practice or else I totally would. You two should go though." Naomi replies trying to look upset but smirking at me

"Hey I'm always down for ice cream!"

And with that ace and I went to the ice cream shop for our second "date". If dating a guy means ice cream all the time I definitely think I can do this whole boyfriend girlfriend thing.
