More Than Teammates

Chapter 5

~Lili's POV~

The movie was so sad. I buried my face in his chest and cried. He pulled me closer to him. He whispered,

"Don't cry beautiful."

When the movie ended he wrapped me in his arms. He leaned down and kissed me. I put my arms around his neck and kissed back.

"Lili I love you."

"Jordan I love you too."

We walked out of the movie hand in hand. When we walked to the car he opened the car door for me.

"Thank you. You're so sweet."

"Please, I'd do anything for you."

"Jordan we just started dating and you're already too perfect."

"Oh shut up. You're perfect."

We got in the car and he drove me home.

~Jordan's POV~

"We have a week until school starts again."

"Ughhhhhhh. I don't want to go, I never see you."

I grabbed her hand.

"Well we aren't in the same grade. I'm going to walk you to as many classes as I can. I promise we'll work this out."

"But I'm not going to see you here because you'll be at varsity practice."

"Lili we will work this all out. We'll FaceTime every night if you want."

She slumped down.

"Then I have softball in the spring."

"Lili I'll go to every game that I can."

"Really?"

"Yes."

I squeezed her hand.

"Lili we are going to make this work because I really like you."

"Jordan I really like you too but I need to tell you something important."

I pulled into her driveway.

"What's wrong?"

"I'll tell you tomorrow because I don't want to ruin this perfect night."

"I'll pick you up an hour before morning practice, we'll get something to eat and you can tell me then."

"It's a plan Stan."

"I love you but if your jokes are this bad...we may have a problem."

We got out of the car and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Oh you love my jokes."

"Yes I do."

She looked up at me and I leaned down and kissed her. When I pulled away I said,

"Lili I need you to tell me what's wrong."

"Nothings wrong. It just something from my past I want to tell you about."

"Okay. I'll pick you up at 8:30 so we can make 10:00 practice."

"Sure."

I watched her walk in her house and I drove away. What does she want to tell me?
