Inked In Love

Forty Two

Forty Two

Ten to eight, Theo was outside my house pulling up in his car. I watched from the window as he stepped out of the car wearing a buttoned t-shirt and jeans paired with a black leather jacket.

I nearly stabbed my skin, trying to subtly check him out and put my earrings in.

I met him at the door.

" Hey" i said closing the door behind me.

He smiled up at me" you look beautiful"

I looked down at myself. He said casual so i put on my favourite jeans and an off the shoulder sweatshirt. Paired with my new boots.

" Should i bring a jacket?" i asked realising that i hadn't brought a jacket. I don't know why i didnt really.

He shrugged " we wont be outside much but if you want i have a spare in my car"

I know the one, I've worn it many times.

I smiled, realising that he was really trying.

Theo opened the door for me. I slipped inside. I was thankful that he had the heating on so it was warm inside.

" How did your call with your coach go, everything okay back in the us?" Theo asked when we were on the main road. It was only 8 so there wasnt many people on the road. Thankful we missed the rush hour.

" Yeah, there all looking forward to seeing us at the championships" i said.

It was strange how quickly we were able to get comfortable with eachother.

He nodded " How is that going, is Jen going to be competing" he asked about his sister.

Sometimes i forget that they are related.

" Jen is doing well but im not sure if she is ready for it. I only want her to compete in that envirnment is she really is ready" i explained to him.

He made a turn tot he left. " I think thats wise, i really hope she can though. I dont like her in the background" he told me honestly.

" me either, jacob is doing a good job in pushing her to take front stage though"

I watched his tongue click. " As much as i hate to say it, Jacob is good for her" i had to laugh at this.

Why does that not surprise me.

" He misses practice when practice is on. Either that or he is late"

I smiled, many times I've had to blow my whistle just to tell jacob to get going. But you can't blame him for wanting to support her.

He's her personal coach and cheerleader.

Scott even joked about getting him pom poms.

" what about you, how are the boys looking?" i asked referring to the football team.

" They are good, but its the party season so theres been some slacking" he tells me.

Dont i know it.

The girls keep wanting to cut training short or even start earlier so they have time to go home and get ready.

" yeah i gathered. Think i might have to move training early on friday just because of it. It's not a sin to want to enjoy their youth" i said.

"We sound old" Theo commented turning to give me that sexy grin.

Jesus.

Luckily we pulled into the place we were spending our night. As much as i dont want to rush this it does really feel like a date.
