Twelve
Just as I began to get comfortable I was served a variety of foods as Theo finished up with his work. Taking the last bite from my plate Theo returned.
"How is it?" Theo said coming out from the back and watched me as I continued to eat from the plate, he had served me personally. I appreciated the special attention he was giving me.
Honestly.
"You weren't lying about how good this is, but I also feel like I've gained major calories being here "I said motioning to the very generous portion he served me.
He only laughed at me serving me a glass of ice-cold water to cleanse the flavours with.
Theo checked his watch before removing his apron, which isn't the best fashion statement.
I narrowed my eyes with what he did next.
"C'mon let's go burn these calories off then" he said, spinning me around and pulling me out of the restaurant. I didn't even think twice before following him as he raced over to my car.
"you're not driving my car "I said, crossing my arms over my chest.
" Why not, you drove mine" he commented.
The next action made me feel really stupid when he simply pulled open the door for me motioning for me to get inside. Right, he was just opening the door for me to get in.
"That's different "I mumbled as I followed his directions as we drove down the road.
We soon found ourselves sitting outside a stadium, a football stadium at that.
"Come on" he urged me, jumping out of the car when I finally parked into a vacant space.
He grabbed my hand and led us through some double doors that led us into a tunnel. When we finally got into the stadium, I noticed that it was literally empty apart from the few guys kicking a ball around.
I just watched as Theo ran up to them saying something.
"you in?" Theo shouted over to me motioning to the ball between his legs.
I ran up "yeah sure" I said not really thinking about it.
I stood near the middle of the pitch pretty much just watching as the guys did their thing. I couldn't take my eyes off Theo as he worked his way to get the ball from the others. As soon as the ball was in his possession, he kicked it through the other guy's legs and made a run for it.
Oh shit.
He was running towards me. I had watched enough guys play football to know the basic rules. He passed the ball to me and ran towards our goal.
I dribbled the ball in between my legs for a few seconds before noticing that Theo had his hand held up. Some of the guys caught up and attempted to get the ball from me but I was quick enough to kick the ball over to Theo only for him to score our goal.
For the next 30 minutes we played, I had managed to trip only two times with little concern from Theo which was greatly appreciated.
"I'm okay" I huffed as I stood up from the spot and ran towards the ball. I could feel his eyes on my legs when the ball was near him, but he quickly got back to playing.
I was casually running towards our goal again when Theo decided he wanted to end big time. I wasn't ready for it, but I had no other choice.
He kicked the ball towards me right in the middle of the pitch. I did a quick touch before dribbling to our goal again.
"Shoot it" I heard him yell.
I panicked slightly but ended up trying my shot only for it to go straight into the goalies feet. He smiled triumphantly.
