“Yeah, you know the lads have been working really hard this season. They’ve been focused and disciplined and single minded on this goal so it’s great we’ve been able to make it happen.”

“That’s right,” she sys, nodding vigorously, “Congrats also on the huge goal. The greatest players are the ones that can deliver under pressure and that’s what you did tonight.”

“Thank you. Phoenix made that decisive pass and Theo had a key save at the 85th minute, so it really was a team effort tonight.” He answers, ever the diplomat.

“We saw you doing a new celebration tonight. You kissed a bracelet on your wrist when you scored, can you tell us a bit more about that?”

He runs his hand through his hair and chuckles, the sound echoing loudly through the stands thanks to the mic.

The leftover smile on his face is devastating as he looks directly into the camera for the first time, his eyes happy, “It’s a hair tie of my girlfriend’s that I stole,” he says, rubbing his fingers over it absentmindedly, “It’s brought me a lot of luck on and off the pitch so I never take it off. Plus I have to give credit where credit’s due.” He says, bringing his wrist to his mouth and kissing the hair tie once for the camera.

A collective ‘aww’ rises from the women in the crowd and I think he’s just managed to make the entire female population fall even more in love with him than it already was.

I know that’s the effect what he just said is currently having on me.

“It’s disgusting how much you guys are into each other.” Six teases with a nudge to my ribs.

“She’s a lucky girl. Congratulations again!” The reporter says before moving on to interview the Coach.

Off to the side I see Devlin glaring at Rhys. The former’s rage makes him stand out amongst the rest of his teammates as they celebrate their win.

I run down the bleachers and jump into his waiting arms as rain starts to come down on us.

He twirls me around in his arms and kiss me as the first raindrops fall on our cheeks.

“Kissing in the rain after a big win? This is starting to feel veryA Cinderella Story.” I joke.

His eyes move from my mouth where they’d been watching my lips move as I spoke to meet my gaze through half lidded eyes. “Never seen it,” He says, his voice heavy with lust, “but I wouldn’t need a shoe to tell me you were the one for me. I’d know.” He puts me down as someone calls for him. “Trophy time.”

“Go, go,” I say, pushing his chest to urge him in the direction of his team.

“We’re going to celebrate in the locker room for a bit but then party at the house. Come a little bit before so we can spend time together?” He asks, cupping my cheek. “I want to celebrate it with you.”

“I’ll be there, just text me later. Now, go!”

He starts to jog backwards away from me, his signature grin curling his lips as he tells me, “See you later, love.”

I wave at him as Six joins me.

If I’d known how things would change after tonight, I’d have at least kissed him one last time.

“What says “as a gift for winning the championship, you get to do anything and everything you want to me”? The black one or the red one?” I ask, walking into the living room holding a dress in each hand.

“Red.” Six says, looking up from her phone.

“And don’t pretend you don’t already let him do whatever he wants to you.” Nera adds with a raised eyebrow.

“Or that you don’t love that he does it.” Six chirps.

“But Six is right,” Nera finishes, helpfully, “That red one will have him begging on his knees for you.”

“Red it is,” I say, turning back towards my room and throwing over my shoulder, “I’m ignoring the other comments.”

“I’m just jealous,” Nera says, slumping further into her chair.

“Yeah, I want someone to be obsessed with me the way Rhys is with you,” Six adds.
