I know Damien's plan seemed ridiculous, but I trust him and his new form of wisdom. And yes I called it wisdom.
Every since he got played in his own game, he realized that he wasn't getting anywhere but meaningless sex.
A couple of years ago, he met this girl, Ashley. And well Ashley was exactly the same as Damien just a little bit more skilled in the art of deception. She walked into his life, made him fall for her by accident, and left to attend her wedding 2 weeks later.
But be ended up respecting her even more. The whole thing confuses me really. But the good thing that came from that was his new views on women. I mean sure he has those moments that tells me what he want to do with a girl we see walking down the street, but he resist with the whole game and goes to be straight honestly with her.
Sometimes tell her that all he wants is a one night stand end up with a slap to the face, and other times it brings in the crazies. So yeah, I trust him. What could I do without his crazy experiences.
The last time I saw her was at the campus gym. I heard around the area she goes there at least every Wednesday so I decided to check it out.
See I couldn't wait a whole week to make a new impression, so I had to create one. Plus I need all the time I could get.
I figured the more time she sees me, then the easier whatever I was feeling would be.
I heading up the stairs and looked around. I've never Ben inside the campus gym before and I've been in college for 3 years now.
Besides it was free.
It looked like a normal gym just with a lot more perks. I heading to the weight room and wanted to go try some of them. But there was a group of people just standing around talking.
And knowing me, I'll probably listen in instead of actually working out, so I head out.
Until I saw the court. There was an inside field that people were playing soccer in, and I decided to join. It was an odd number anyway which gave me hope.
I opened the door, and stood at the side. They stopped kicking the ball, and all their attention except for one was on me.
"You wanna join?" The guy with a neon yellow headband asked. He had puffy hair, and a light complexion.
"Yeah, if that's okay with you guys."
The guy next to him said, "cool." He had fair skin with wavy brown hair.
The first guy nodded turning to the last guy behind him who was kicking the ball on both his knees. "Kian it's cool with you."
The guy didn't even turn around. He kept bouncing the ball on his knees. "Yeah." He had long dark brown hair tied up in a ponytail.
"Well I'm Andrew."the one with the yelllw headhead started. "that's Alex,"he pointed to the wavy hair guy, "and over there you know as Kian."
I nodded. "I'm Jack. Well what are you guys playing?" I asked.
"Well we're just kicking the ball around really. Unless you want to play teams."
"Yeah."
"Okay I'll team up with Andrew and you and Kian." Alex told me.
I nodded walking over to Kuan who still bouncing his ball. Apparently he was trying to bet his recorder of 10.
"Hey, I'm Jack."
Kian stopped. He catched the ball, and held it at his side. When he finally looked up at me, I swallowed hard.
"You're the best friend."
"And your the guy who hit her." He chuckles walking away. "Small world."
I knew this would happen. I wasn't surpise at all. This war way he engaged me. He wanted to set the record straight.
Andrew calls us all up in a huddle, making sure we know the rules of scoring. More like making sure I knew the rules.
They took their sports bags and created mini goals, and I followed right behind Kian.
We played for a while, almost an hour until I had to go. I won't lie all of them where really good. Kian was really I into doing tricks over Alex shoulder, and Andrew was focusing on breaking my knees with his shooting skills.
I was happy I made it out there alive. I've never played that aggressive in my life. Okay that's a lie, but when I play with Damien it's just the two of us. Usually it end with one of us laying on the guy saying how tired they were. And that was usually Damien.
I headed out the door, when Kian ran up to me almost pushing me.out the door.
"You didn't think you'll run off so easily did you?"
"What?"
He looked around, before looking over at the locker room. "We should talk. You know for..." he didn't know how to put the words he was going to say in terms. He was probably going to threaten me about or something.
It wouldn't be the first time. But I can handle myself. I had to. If I had wanted to make my dad proud I had to train everyday after school just to keep up.
He tells me I font need to learn all that because there's a reason why he has bodyguards. But bodyguard do so little in the time that needs to be done.
Besides, I don't what to keep my trust in someone else. That how you get killed in this business.
Anyway, I followed him inside all the way to the back. Apparently that's where his locker was, and he took out some of his stuff.
"So why did you call me? " I asked.
He looked over at me, and then chuckles. "I wanna apologize."
The look on my face couldn't express how surpise I was. "Apologize? " I questioned. The word seemed so foreign to me in that time. "Why would you want to do that? "
"Well it's actually not me. It's Olive. She told me what happened on Monday."
I nodded, thinking of all the possibility that would occur from this very moment. I thought of all the different angles I would have to take him if he tried anything.
I already knew where the exit was. But then I thought about him, how his hair looked so familiar.
"You were there when I came to the apartment."
"Yeah I was. I slept over. I just woke you when you got in."
"Cool." I waited until no words were being exchanged between us. "So...did she-"
"I don't know what's going on with the two of you. Frankly I just met you and you seemed terrible, but you have some pretty good skills."
"Thank you?"
"Yeah, don't thank me yet."
"So...she didn't say anything about me after. You know about-" I leaned in waiting for anything to come out his mouth.
He stood there in though before his face lit up. "She told me how you bought her stuff, and she threw them out. That's all."
"Really?"
"Yeah," he chuckled. "What's wrong with you dude. You hit a girl and think she'll magically forget when you buy her nice things."
"Well... If it wasn't like that entirely. "
"Okay."
After everything that he had just said, I thought it would be best to be friend him. And at that moment I started to doubt what my true intentions were anymore.
Kian closed his locker, and headed out with me right behind him.
"You know, we're looking for a guy to join our team. "
"Your what?" I asked.
"Our soccer team. See our friend Tyler sick right now and we're going against my brothers team, and we're one man short."
I nodded rapidly. "Yeah, I'm totally in."
He smiled, before giving me his number. "Text me and I'll tell you if the ret of them are cool with it. "
I smiled back. Waving goodbye.
I was in a game I had no idea I was playing.
