How you fell in Love - Edmund x OC

Chapter Seventeen

"Great match everyone!" Fred shouts.

"Cap, come on!" Someone shouts.

"Nice job, all." Ed smiles.

"You don't talk much, do you?" Someone laughs.

"More like hardly talks."

When the joy of a win is high for everyone, you make your way to Ed.

"Can I have a word with you?"

Ed follows you out, the corridor eerily silent.

"I just wanted to say--"

"I'm sorry." Ed cuts you off.

"Yeah!"

"No I'm saying I'm sorry." Ed sighs and looks down, "I was irritated, Adara. I think it was the stress or something. I shouldn't have done what I did. On top of that, that guy's stupid comments on you didn't help. I hate it when someone belittles others. I think it got to the best of me."

"I'm the one who should be saying that, Ed. I think I've been too engrossed in trying not reveal our relationship that... I didn't realise how much it affected you. And I'm truly sorry for being so inconsiderate. And I promise I'll be more considerate from now."

"Hug it out, yeah?" He grins.

"I thought you hated hugs?" You laugh.

"Not from you." He grins, hugging you.

You pull back and grin. "We should head in."

"Should we?" He laughs.

You punch him on the shoulder, "Yes!"

"Ow. Okay." He laughs and presses a kiss to your cheek before heading in.

"Guys we made it to the semifinals!"

"Come again?"

"Semifinals!"

"We're in the finals, alright!"

"One last match!"

"One step away from the trophy."

"We got this!"

Trunk and Pevensie out for toss!

The toss is Trunk's today! And what will he choose?

Trunk chose to bat.

Confident enough that the batting line up will put a decent score on the board for easy defending?

I must guess so.

Stay tuned for live commentatory.

A great total of 231 puts lightens the pressure of defending.

Score should be easy to defend as long as they remain so!

Who will win the Kingdom Cricket League this year?
---
Wallow and Storms step out to bat.
...
Wallow goes back for 58 and the good ol' Captain Pevensie takes his place.

Will the Storm-Pevensie magic last today too?
...
A brilliant century for Storms! She puts the match back on track!
...
Pevensie is going strong with 38!
...
Storms walks back with 123!

It is all upto Pevensie and Summers now!

Or maybe not!
---
You curse at yourself as you walk back.

Few more runs and you'd have done it.

You feel there's so much pressure on Ed's shoulders now.
