She’s my everything - S01 E35

He noticed she didn’t say it back, but he understood.

Laylah hadn’t been given the time to come to terms with how he felt about her.

He’d been falling in love with her long before he finally asked her out on a date.

“If I go back, will you go out with me? Be my girlfriend?”

“I thought we were already dating.”

“We are, but it means you’ve got to come to practice as well. Watch me, wait for me. Be the devoted girlfriend.”

“Really?”

“Hell, yeah, I want it all.”

“And here I thought you only wanted my cherry and you’d dump my arse the moment you got it.”

He kissed her hard and deep. “Not a chance. You’re not getting rid of me that easily.”

She closed her eyes as he brushed his lips against hers. “Deal,” she said.

“Then deal.” He was going to get back on the team.

“I was wrong about him,” Becky said a couple of days later.

After a long weekend, most of which she spent in his bed, they’d returned to school. Hand in hand.

The gossip mill once again running rife. For about an hour, she’d been one of the most hated girls in the school.

The one responsible for ruining the football team, and then of course for taking their star player away from everyone else.

Once it came to light that Blue had rejoined the team, and his complete and utter devotion to her, the glares and nasty comments had come down to a minimum.

“About Blue?” Laylah asked.

“Yeah. I’ve been watching the way he is with you. There’s not a single part of him that is acting. He does love you.” Becky patted her shoulder.

“He’s told me … a lot.”

“Wow, that crap is deep,” John said. “What did you say?”

She blew out a breath. John and Becky winced. “Don’t do that.”

“You mean this guy is literally telling you he loves you, is completely devoted to you, and I can say that for a fact. I’ve been watching him for any kind of flaw in the boyfriend stuff. And you haven’t even said that you love him?”

“Nope. I’m a horrible person, aren’t I?”

“You’re not exactly great,” Becky said.

“Don’t get me wrong. I hate all men and all that, but Blue has turned out to be a pretty decent guy.”

They stood on the stands, watching them train.

The entire team surrounded the coach as he barked orders at them.

She couldn’t make much out, but she guessed they weren’t doing a good job.

“Do you not love him?” John asked.

“I’ve never been in love before. Doesn’t it mean he’s felt this before with others?”

Becky shook her head, as did John.
