MY SECRET LOVE STORIES

CURRENT SITUATION.

Hello diary! I know you are wondering why I didn't start writing earlier about this secret love stories. Well here I am, ready to fill you up with secrets.....

So where do I start? Okay it's on Saturday, a normal day like the others only that Saturdays are set aside for my hobbies and interests and apparently football training happens to be on Today's schedule.
Well football is my second best hobby and here I was in the changing room getting ready for the morning warmup practice.

I was in my navy blue shorts and an XL jersey number 2 on the back under it was my boyfriend's name HUNTER. He personalized the special size for his boo. Lol

I jogged down the hallway towards the anex field with my gym bag hanging around my chest down to my waist and landed on my ass the whole run and this actually slagged my jog.

I finally got to the field and found everyone on the move.
I hypocritically joined and did the thing.
It was when I heard the coach's whistle that I stood up from the ground and aligned with my teammates for the first briefing.

"Today our neighbouring estate's under 25 male football team will be joining our practice. I need you to show your feet and brain skills to earn a friendly match with their female team. Do me proud and you too."

Well that was it. For the first time in a lifetime we are practicing with men!!
It felt weird super weird infact. I couldn't imagine my 4'8ft running against a 6ft dude. It felt insane and insecure at the same but we've always dreamt of beating the neighbors so it was necessary.

The referee blew the whistle when i saw gigantic men passing balls over our heads.
It was so funny until I realized the ball was a few metres away from me and it was in my hands to secure my team but it was funny at the same time.
I run as fast as I could with my eyes wide open not to lose a chance and who said a woman is better?? I got to the ball defending my team from discrimination.

His jersey was number 9. He looked so furious and mad at the same time. He gave me an angry look which made me kick the ball harder towards his post side. I looked back up at him with my brown wide eyes, gave him a piece of my crooked smile and run towards the ball.
He gave me a bitchy look but I didn't care how he looked at me anyway.
We were playing a nice game and that was all that mattered.

The whistle blew. We were at a draw which brought about a rematch with the men. This was not any interesting to my ear, what would Hunter say about my safety? He always criticised footballers as rough and arrogant. Now his girlfriend around rough and arrogant? This would bother him but he knows me.
I love challenges.... Do I tho??
***
I think I do.
But until now I do not feel the need of playing with men while their female team is enjoying the comfort of their houses while we risk our feet and bones from being broken by rough huge players.

It was time to assemble and hear from each team before the departure. Our coach welcomed the male team captain to say a word so we could leave for home.

You will not believe when I tell you the guy in a number 9 jersey was the captain. That arrogant dude a captain? I thought leaders are supposed to portray a better self? Well I shouldn't judge because I could be worse.

Wait, do I really need my spectacles because my eyes could probably be playing with me? He looks much interesting when not in motion, he has this right sided smile with milky white teeth and a dimple too?? Who is this guy?

I remembered Hunter trying to seductively smile like this but this is so real.
Wait, I haven't mentioned his dark skin color with dripping lines of dried sweat down his side hair. He seems perfect and his eyes too? I am not ready for this conversation..

I could have quoted anything he said but honestly I heard absolutely nothing, not even his voice?
I was losing focus but again this is not me. I am a loyal and focused girl and I love Hunter so much to look at this dude like this. This is not me, maybe my nephew put some weed in my coffee because I do not feel okay.

It was now time to leave for home. I dangled my bag on my shoulder, wore an oversized hoodie and connected my headset as well.
I did not have much to bid to my teammates so I just walked home.

On my way I kept on thinking about him. His smile, his body, his complexion, omg I'm truly not okay.
I called Hunter to let him know I would spend the night at my family house instead of going over to his place... There was no specific reason.

It was around 7pm when I smelt no scent of cooking which reminded me I was alone and needed to get some groceries, drinking water and energy drinks to keep my cool.
I took my phone with me, plugged in the headset, set my playlist for the walk, inserted it in my side pocket, took the gate keys and left for the mall.

I was trying to get the procedure for preparing fish fillets in a different way from the promoters when I heard a strong deep voice over my head.

That would taste better with fried rice.

I looked back then up to see what was going on behind my short back. Looking up, it was his face again. Clean and smiley.
Is this a trap? I thought to myself looking up and smiling back at this stranger guy that we played with today.

"Hi! I'm Tedd, I live next to your cottage despite my mum living in the next hood".

"Tatenda! Oh! Ah! My name is Tatenda".

I responded shakily but the seduction in the voice felt evil than Jezebel's. I honestly do not recall rolling my eyes before but I can surely tell you I felt my eyes roll as I struggled to look at his adorable face.

"Well since we spent the entire day together and we both know how tired we both are, how about we do an impromptu cookout at my place?? Or maybe yours. I mean company will always be good".

Wait, was he following me or was it destiny?? Yea I know I just saw him today and he wants a cookout and he just mentioned he can cook well, I don't see any bad in this idea. But let's go to my place instead.

***
How he his chopping the onions is different, he is so different and I already like him. Did I mention that earlier I was just blabbing about his arrogance and staff?? I think I was not okay because now I'm seeing something interesting in front of me. I want to jump on his back because he looks strong for me but I can't. I do not understand his intentions but I'm sure of mine.

Food was simmering while we were trying to set the tables. Did I mention he was funny as well? He made me laugh and I wish I could laugh and fall into his arms and feel the touch of his big soft palm on my skin.
