INTERNATIONAL BREAK WAS GREAT for two reasons. I got to be with my entire family and I got to see my boyfriend play without the suspicion of anything going on between us. Being Jack's sister was the downside of it all though.
Falling for one of his best mates wasn't the plan, but it just happened as Trent and I were in proximity of each other more and more. We talked and got to know one another, and then it turned into secret hangouts and sneaking into each other's hotels during international breaks.
Six months into it and still, no one knows.
Jack was overprotective of me, being his youngest sister. Yet, we were the closest since I was close with Sasha and I showed great interest in his passion, little did he know, Trent was a part of that too.
We both knew if Jack found out, he'd freak out. He never approved of anyone, and knowing that Trent was older and someone close to him, was a double whammy.
For a while, Sasha was convinced something was going on and with a lot of lying, she let go of the idea. Yet, sometimes casually mentions it again.
Trent dribbled the ball up the side, tricking each opponent out before he saw Jack wide open. My hands were clenched tight as I watched them, Trent crossed it in as Jack volleyed it right into the back of the net.
We all cheered loudly as Jack and Trent went to celebrate. Trent was staring right up at our suite as I stared back down. A long way to look up, who knew if he could see me.
He pointed up as Jack looked at us, waving and blowing kisses. To which we returned, but mine more directed at Trent as he smiled and waved at all of us. "They really are the dream team," Sasha said. "Honestly," I laughed.
"So, I heard that Alia likes Trent," she tells me. "Oh, is that so?" I tried to cover my jealousy. "Yeah, she said she was going to talk to him after the match," Sasha said. "Well, good luck to her. Trent's you know," I looked at her. "Well aware," she laughed.
Did she want me to expose our relationship? It wasn't going to happen, the second that happened, she would tell Jack. Sasha can't keep a secret for the life of her.
The match finished as we made our way down to the tunnel. "Girls! Wait up!" I heard a familiar voice call from behind Sasha and me. "Alia! Hey," Sasha turned around. "What a good game, don't you think?" she asked.
"Totally," I nodded with a fake expression on my face. "I didn't know you were here! When did you get back?" she looked at me. "I got back last night," I tell her. "How was Brazil? Your posts looked beautiful!" she smiled.
"It was as beautiful as it looked, I want to go back already," It was almost like I was being taunted. The carrot was dangled in my face.
I wanted to take the bait and just scream leave my man alone, but I knew better. Trent and I haven't done all of this just to waste it on a petty ordeal.
"Well, I can't wait until the guys get out. I've been wanting to talk to Trent," Alia shifts on her feet. "Don't tell me you're going to ask him out," Sasha said. "Girl, I've been dropping hints and he doesn't take them at all. I think I need to be straight up," she says.
"Good for you," Sasha smiled as she turned her back on Alia. Her facial expressions dimmed as she widened her eyes. That alone made me read the room.
The locker room door swung open and out walked Trent, Phil, Mason, and my brother, of course. As loud as they could be, talking about nonsense.
"Aye! My baby sister!" Jack runs toward me. "She came to surprise me!" he squeezed me tight. "You don't warn a man before you show up?" he laughed. "No, I wanted to surprise you," he wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
"Look mates, don't I have the best sister in the world?" he asks. "Totally," they nod.
"Y/N, I haven't seen you in so long. How are you?" Mason was the first to greet me. "Good, I've been busy traveling," I laughed. "Oh, we've seen it. I need to go on holiday with you, you make the best of one," Mason said. "For sure,"
"Hi, Y/N," Phil quickly hugged me. "Good game," I playfully push him. "Yeah," he laughs.
"Hey Trent," I heard Alia's voice from behind me. The tone of sultry was enough to make my skin crawl. "What's up?" he smiled as she walked through me.
He didn't even acknowledge me.
"You played super well today," Alia grazed his arm, it was almost as if we'd intruded on a moment. "Thanks," he nervously laughed as he shifted on his feet. His eyes switched toward me as I chewed the inside of my cheek.
"Well, I'm going to get going. The traffic is going to be insane," I tell them. "Are you alright?" Sasha whispered to me. "Mhm," I lied.
"I'll see you later," I hugged Jack. "Good job again, Phil," I smiled at him. "Love you," I hugged Sasha.
I turned around as everyone was silent now, it was awkward and the sound of my heels clicking as I walked made my face burn in embarrassment. If it wasn't obvious before, it was now.
"Anyway, like I was saying. We should go out tonight," Alia says.
"Mhm, hold on," I heard Trent's bag drop as rapid footsteps approached me. "Hey," he grabbed my shoulder causing me to stop. "Wha-"
My sentence was cut off by Trent pulling me and dipping me into a kiss. Whistles and gasps filled the hallway as I melted into the kiss before snapping back into reality.
"Trent," I mumbled as I opened my eyes. "What?" he stared into my eyes.
"Uh," I stood up straight once more, pointing at my brother who was clearly upset. "Trent," his voice was aggravated. "Shit," Trent laughed.
"I knew it!" Sasha cheered as Jack gazed at her.
"Bad timing?" she laughed awkwardly.
