I Want To Do Bad Things With You

Chapter 25

The weeks passed and every day after school Jace would watch me practice. My leg and ribs had healed completely and although my wrist was still hurting every now and then I could feel that it was getting a bit better every day.

The football championships came and we made it to the finals which were taking place tomorrow. I was feeling really nervous but excited at the same time. The scout was going to be there and if I played good enough I might get the scholarship.  There are a lot of talented guys on the team though, especially Jason who is one of the favorites. Only one of us can get it and I was desperately hoping that it would be me. If I don’t get it I have no idea what I am going to do next year and playing professional football has always been my dream.

“How are you feeling?” Jace asked as he sat down on the couch next to me.

“A bit nervous,” I answered honestly, my future depended on one football match, and sports are always so unpredictable.

“Don’t be, I know you are going to be great,” Jace replied, pulling me close to him and hugging me tightly. Feeling his arms around me managed to calm me down immediately and I smiled when he pulled away.

“I love you,” I whispered, feeling the need to tell him although I’m positive he already knows.

“I love you back,” he replied and then kissed me softly and slowly.

The next morning Jace woke me with breakfast in bed and I couldn’t help but smile at how cute he is. I ate my food happily and then took a quick shower before getting dressed. When we were both done getting ready for school we grabbed our bags, jumped in my car and turned the music up loud.

School was a bit of a drag but at least everybody has gotten used to Jace and I being together and doesn’t hassle us about it anymore.

After school we had a bit of a warm up practice and then all of the guys went home to change and get ready for the game later tonight. They were having a huge party after the game at Jason’s house to celebrate because they were sure that we are going to win. Everybody seems to think so but I couldn’t help but be nervous as I got ready.

Jace drove us back to school and then kissed me passionately in front of everybody before taking his seat in the front row.

I headed to the locker rooms and met up with the rest of the guys. Coach gave us a long encouraging talk and then announced that it was time for the game. We all ran out onto the field as the cheerleaders danced and jumped around. Not long after us the other team came running onto the field and once everybody was settled on their sides of the field the referee blew the whistle, starting the game.

I could see Jace smiling and cheering for me from the bleachers and it gave me the strength to pull through and score the winning touchdown. The crowd burst out screaming and my teammates lifted me up onto their shoulders. It all happened so fast and I was really happy but it wasn’t perfect until Jace jumped over the fence and ran to me. He looked so sexy that I had to stop myself from grabbing him and kissing him right there. He congratulated me and the team and then out of nowhere I heard a voice yelling my name over the noise and celebration.  I turned around and came face to face with coach and a man I have only seen in the school’s paper. The scout.

“Hi, I’m Trevor Thompson,” he said, holding his hand out to me.

“Drake,” I said in reply, shaking his hand.

The rest of the team settled down around us and then burst out into cheers again when he announced that I had won the scholarship.

I felt ecstatic but something was missing, Jace’s hand in mine. He was standing beside me but I wanted him to share the moment with m so I turned toward him and took his hand in mine. He looked a bit surprised but more than that, he looked happy. I guess he didn’t take my hand in his earlier because he didn’t want the scout to see, some people are very judgmental and he might just have changed his mind about giving me the scholarship. I don’t care about that, the world is going to have to accept who I am and who I love if I’m going to be playing international football because there is no way I’d ever give up Jace. I would give up everything and anything else but not him.

“I love you,” I said again and then leaned forward and kissed him.

The crowd around us went quiet as they all looked at us, waiting to see what was going to happen. I pulled away from Jace, keeping his hand in mine and turned to the scout. He looked a bit confused and for a second I thought he was going to take back the scholarship but then he smiled.

Everybody started talking again and then slowly they all started to disappear, obviously going home or to Jason’s party.

Jace and I stayed behind to speak to the scout some more and then headed to the car.

“Where to?” I asked, taking off down the road.

“Home,” Jace replied with a twinkle in his eyes.

“Don’t you want to go to Jason’s party?” I questioned, knowing the answer but wanting to give him the option.

“No way, I can’t think of much better things to do,” he answered teasingly and I knew exactly what he had in mind.
