Part 15

Liam's POV
Game night.
The game was going to start in about twenty five minutes. We had to begin warming up in ten minutes, and I still had no sign of (Y/N). I walk around the grass outside of the locker room, looking down at my phone. My teammates were scattered around, some inside, some around me, and others were talking in groups.

I happen to look up and see (Y/N) walking down the track and towards me. I smile and run over to her, meeting her halfway. Some of my teammates make "funny" remarks and I choose to ignore them. (Y/N) smiles up at me and points down. I follow her finger and see she's pointing at the jersey she's wearing. It's my jersey. I smile again and say, "I see you're wearing the jersey I gave you earlier." "Yeah, and it's actually pretty comfortable," she laughs.

"That's good," I say, pulling her to me. She laughs again and looks up at me. "Are you excited for tonight?" She asks. "Now that you're here, I have to actually try," I answer with a wink. She rolls her eyes and says, "Liam, you do great already, and you don't have to show off or anything, just for me." "Yes, I do," I reply, putting my forehead against hers. "No, you don't," she adds, laughing.

"Payne!" I hear my head coach shout. I look over my shoulder and see him watching me. "Yes?" I shout back. "We start warm up in three minutes!" "Okay Coach!" I answer, looking back at (Y/N). "You better get going then," she shyly says. I grin and kiss her forehead, "Let's go find Andi for you."

Your POV
Liam had to leave after we had found Andi in the concessions line. He had pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead once again. I sighed when I watched him jog back over to the field. He always kissed my head of forehead. Yes, they were cute gestures, but sometimes an actual kiss would be great. Andi had suggested me getting something and I agreed. We walked away from the concessions ten minutes later and found a decent seat in the stands close to the front. Andi was wearing a hoodie, but I could tell she had a school shirt on and had #82 on her hand. We were sitting and opening up our snacks when the game began.

The announcer comes on through the speakers. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining us at the game of (Y/S/N) versus Northwood," the opponent team steps onto the field and their side cheers. The announcer continues, "Now let's introduce our (Y/S/N) (Y/S/M)!" Our side cheers and stomps their feet against the metal of the bleachers. The noise dies off a moment later just as our football team jogs onto the field. I automatically look for Liam and spot #5 on the sideline. I smile and watch as the other team's quarterback gets the ball and throws it. The ball flies through the air for about 25 yards before a teammate jumps up and catches it. The player begins to run towards his team's destination and gets tackled by Harry at the 15 yard line. I glance at Andi and see she's smiling. I laugh to myself and look back at the players. Tonight was going to be fun.

Halftime began and I was thirsty again. I had just finished my hot chocolate and wanted to get another one. "Andi, I want another hot chocolate, do you want to come with me?" "Sure, I'll get one too," she answers, standing up with me and follows behind. We get back to ground level and throw away our trash, making our way to the concessions. We reach the crowded area and get in line. "Ugh, this will take us foreverrrr," Andi whines. I laugh and step forward in line. "It's better than sitting in the stands being bored," I say. "I'm bored nooow," she whines again. "Stop whining," I laugh again, taking out my phone. I check the time and see I got a text.

Text: Liam: Hey (Y/N), how are you enjoying the game?
Text: Me: I'm having fun :)
Text: Liam: I'm glad. You better keep looking cute in my jersey. My coach will see me on my phone, so I'll see you after the game ;)
Text: Me: haha, okay ;)

I put my phone away and continue to move up in line. I feel eyes on me and turn around to face Andi. She was watching me, causing me to laugh while asking, "What are you staring at?" "Nothing, just saw you smiling and wondered why." "Liam was texting me," I tell her, blushing a little. "Awww," she coos. I blush again and lightly hit her arm. "Ow," she fake pouts, "that hurt." "Oh shut up," I laugh again, seeing we were next. We both order hot chocolates again and pay separately.

After our cups were in our hands, we started heading back to our seats. Once we made it through the crowd and found our original spots, we sip on our drinks. "Ow, damn, that's hot!" Andi covers her mouth. I roll my eyes as I carefully take a sip of mine. "Fuck, you're right!" We both remove the cups from our mouths and start to look around. The marching band was in the middle of playing. I watch and listen to them, enjoying the beat of their songs. Eventually they finish and the two teams come back out, starting a quick warm up before the second half.

Both sides cheer when their team comes onto the field. I look around and find Liam jogging out last. He looks up at the stands and his eyes wander for a moment before they find mine. He smiles up at me and waves. I smile too and wave back, knowing Andi was watching me. I notice Harry next and see him looking through the crowd. He eventually finds Andi and smiles at her. I turn my head towards her and see her cheeks turn pink.

"Awww," I coo. "Shhhh," she laughs, trying to stay cool. I roll my eyes and make eye contact with Liam again. The team begins to do some stretches and Liam watches me the entire time. "Oooooo," Andi coos back. I just laugh it off and continue looking at Liam while he looks at me.

// AN: The video is just to help you visualize the football field. The video is actually of my own high school football stadium and the band practicing last season. The video is not mine and I don't know exactly how long it is. You can watch it for as long as you want. Feedback would be appreciated. Thank you. //
