The Game

We gather around the auditorium waiting for the comity members to begin with the program.

"You don't have to do this, you know? just come to the game directly no one is going to know, " Josh whispered sitting beside me, he was more worried about it than me.

I smile at him "I know, but I have to do this, this game of hiding and seek ends here, we are adults now and we have already rejected each other so it's cool, I think. " I reply trying to sound more optimistic

He gave me a look and was about to say something but was cut short.

"Enzo," a cheery voice interrupted us, we turned to see Leon, I see him waving his hands vigorously smiling brightly.

Josh gave me a look of irritation, he too smiled at the approaching cheerful person but mumbled to me "I can't believe you're doing this, I thought it would be the other twin, you know, the girl!" he said grinning innocently at Leon.

I elbow him in his ribs and he grunts silently, "Stop it, he is less cringe than his sister," we mumble back and forth until Leon saunter towards us.

The auditorium was packed within no time, and my intuition says it isn't for the good of our University.

"Hi, sorry the crowd is going crazy out there, did I make you wait?" he asked politely, he smiled at me before sitting down next to me. I shake my head no to his question and looked ahead towards the stage. "I don't understand why everyone is going nuts for this person, I mean he is good-looking but do they have to be this extra?" his attitude made me smile. he is not as timid as I thought he was. he had sass and that was going to make my day today.

Leon is a human so the authorities of the Werewolf king won't affect him but among the supernatural community, this was a huge honor to see the King this close.

"Good morning everyone, thank you for gathering in here. without further ado, I would like to welcome our guest of honor, Mr. Alejandro King," the host announced.

I smelt him before I see him, I freeze in my seat, to say I was confident to cross him. "Are you ok?" Leon asked me watching me go pale next to him. I smile at him assuring him that I was fine.

Alejandro walked to the stage all-powerful, his stride held confidence, and the black suit he wore enhanced his body stature, he looked more mature and filled up, the suit did nothing but bring out the best features of his body, and his face. his face was worth a billion dollars.

His jaw was sharp, his full luscious lips, defined high cheekbones, and his eyes, his eyes are going to be the death of me. they are grey than usual, sharper, like a predator.

I didn't realize I was staring at him until my eyes connected with his, he was looking directly at me, his eyes were hypnotizing and I felt the air leave my lungs.

"Are you ok? Enzo you are not breathing." Leon's voice snapped me out of my daze, I turn my head to look at a very worried Leon, his face was all scrunched funnily.

My breathing regulates and I smile at him reassuringly. I look forward to seeing the stage and seeing Alejandro watching us, his face professionally was stone cold. I roll my eyes at him and see the other people besides him, Sorin sat at the end of the row, he didn't see me yet or maybe he did and was ignoring the fact that as knew each other, and the next thing I see had me curling my hand into fists, the irritation and annoyance I felt when I saw the filthy rouge was nothing like I have ever felt before.

Rose was sitting beside him holding his arm like she couldn't even support herself on her own. but there was something I noticed just at this moment, my wolf was completely silent, not a grunt or growl or not even a sneer. he was dead silent. I wonder what happened to him.

Leon held my hand and squeeze it in comfort. I smiled at him and held his hand tighter. guilt ate me from the inside as I was leading him on, I felt bad for doing this to him but if things went well today I might consider giving us a chance. it's not like I have a mate to wait for anyway.

All the speeches were done pretty fast, and it was time for all the sports activities. I walk to the locker room with the team trailing behind me. Leon held my arm as I was about to walk in, I gestured for the others to go on.

I wait for Leon to speak and he blushed deep red, looking down at the floor.

"What is it, Leon, I need to change for the game," I said watching him squirm

"I know we are barely at the relationship stage but I was wondering if you let me wear your jersey during your game," he said avoiding eye contact with me.

I stood there dumbfounded I mean I have had girls wearing my jersey during my games in high school but never a boy, but considering I'm no longer the person I was before. I leave him at the door and walk in, he rushed behind me nervously.

"Look, I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you, please don't be mad, I won't ask it again," he said rushing in his words, I simply walk to my locker and open it, throwing the extra jersey with my name on it at him.

He stood there bewildered "it's clean," I say and took off my shirt changing into my football gear.

He gawked at my body, tracing every inch of my skin, I wore a singlet inside so that prevented him from seeing the scar on my chest, I never liked people staring at my scar with pity.

"We need to get changed," I said not looking at him, he snapped out of his daze and nodded vigorously then ran off.

The other team members wolf-whistled, howling like dogs "Damn, bro I didn't know you swung that way, I always thought it would be the chick between the twins," one of the team members laughed high-fiving his friend.

Josh changed next to me without a word, I look at him " I want to give it a chance, I want to move on" I whispered to him and he nodded not looking at me.

"I know, I'm happy for you," he said smiling then went off.

I wonder what his problem was but shrugged going back to tying my shoes. the match was fun, the opposing team was full of werewolves. luckily most of our team members are werewolves too. the match lasted an hour and we won.

Leon and his friends were cheering the loudest in the stadium, I looked around feeling eyes on me, I know a lot of people were watching us but this stare, this particular pair of eyes were drilling into my skin.

Then I found him, staring at me without blinking, he was at the end of the bleachers Rose hovering over him, he smiled at her as they spoke, I glared at him when he pulled her closer to his body, smirking slightly

"Great game, Enzo, the last kick was amazing -" I pulled him in and smashed my lips on his, my eyes didn't break contact with Alejandro as I pulled Leon closer to my body and wrapped my arm around his waist.

I kissed him passionately diving my tongue into his warm mouth. he froze in his spot but kissed me back after a second or two. The expression on Alejandro's face didn't change. he looked more amused than anything else.

I snapped out of it when I hear the people cheering around us, howling and laughing enjoying the scene. I pulled away from Leon and watch his face, he was dazed.

I look back at where he was but he was gone. I sighed and then looked at the happy person, I smiled at him and held his hand. he blushed deeply but held on tighter.

I reminded myself again, that I deserved better.
