A Girl Nobody Wanted
Chapter 46

I spent the rest of the day like I was in a dream. I could still taste the sweetness of his lips on mine, an

lips? Life is totally unpredictable. One thing that we thought, impossible to happen would become a n In the night when I was just lying down on my bed, he called me.

"How are you, princess?" his deep, warm voice raised from the other side.

"I haven't been this good since I can remember," I said, smiling.

"Same here, Sarah... Today is a dream that came true... " his voice was highly excited.

"How many dreams we have, Jake? Would we be able to make all of them come true?"

"Of course, princess. We can and we should. I will never let any of our dreams fade away." he said bold "Hmmm..."

"Why? Don't you believe me?" he asked.

"Oh, no! I believe in you even more than I believe in my self. I am yet to know a lot of things, and they "Don't worry, Sarah. Those things you don't know, I will never let them destroy our dreams. I promise After that, we were just talking about some random stuff for some time.

"Sarah, I forgot to tell you. We are going to be super busy in the coming few days. We have a match wi "Ah! It is going to be a tough match, isn't it?" I asked because the victoria university team is the main "Of course. That is why we need to do our best. We have planned to change our strategies a bit too." "That's good."

"So, princess... I won't be able to take care of you in these days as much as I do now. Luke also won't b "Don't worry, Jake. I promise you. I will be a good girl." I said, laughing.

"You are always a good girl, there is no doubt in that. I just want you to be cautious," he stated. "Okay, Jake. I will be." I promised him.

"It would be another dream come true..." I said softly.

"What?"

"Watching you play in the court, knowing that you are mine..."

He laughed from the other end.

the warmth of his touch on my body. This is certainly a beautiful dream. Who thought a girl nobody wanted would kiss everyone's prince charming on his routine thing after some time. Please, God! Please don't let this happiness fade away. I won't ask for anything in my life again. Please let me be with him...

ere for you. So I need you to be extra careful." he said worriedly.

"Don't laugh... You don't know how many girls are dreaming about you when they watch you play on the court. Girls are practically drooling over you..." I said annoyingly. "Really?" he faked a surprise.

"Oh! Didn't you know that? Don't act innocent, Jake... You know that girls are having huge crushes for you, though you act like you don't give a shit." I said.

"I am not acting like I don't give a shit... I really don't give a s**t about any of those girls, Sarah... My eyes, heart, and soul are just dedicated to one girl... You know who is that..."

"But you didn't give a s**t about that girl either... Can you remember one day, that girl came to you to get an autograph? You were giving everyone else autographs, but when it is her turn, you just stormed off... You know how much that hurt her..."

"You know how much it hurts me to see, she acts all stupid like any other fangirl and begging for an autograph when I want her to be special, and I am willing to give her my entire life?" he said in one breath.

"Really... Is that why you stormed off?" I asked with surprise.

"Of course... I don't want her to be one of my fangirls, because each and every goal I scored, was just for her. Though it is hard to find such a tiny girl in the big crowd, my eyes have this specialty of finding her...She may not have noticed, but each time I scored a goal, I first look at her among the spectators just to see her beautiful smile..."

"I didn't think you were looking at me those times... I thought you are just looking at your supporters...." I said while tears filled in my eyes. God! if I knew all of these, how happy I would be those days? Why you hid your feelings from me, Jake?

"Okay, now you know that... I am not asking you to be there, because I know you are going to be there even if I didn't ask you to. So when you are there, just remember that guy who everyone is dreaming about is yours... Just yours forever..." he said.

I am a thousand percent sure, if he was here with me, I would kiss him in those lips until both of us can't breathe anymore...

"One more thing, Sarah..." he said.

"Yes..."

"If I score 3 goals in this match, I need something from you..." he said.

"Scoring 3 goals in this match by yourself... It is pretty hard, isn't it?" I asked, wondering.

"Yes, it is... Everything I get from you is so valuable to me. That's why I am willing to try my best to earn that." he said, chuckling.

"You know, Jake... There is nothing in my life that I can't give you. You don't really have to work your b**t off to earn any of those." I said, and I meant every word of that.

"I know it, Sarah... But I owe you so much for hiding things from you. So when I want something special from you, I want to earn it." he replied.

"Okay, then... What will you need from me?" I asked, smiling.

"I will let you know that later."

"Okay, Mr. Perfect... Do your best and earn it!"

**********

As he said, they were both pretty busy for the rest of the days. Not just them, the whole football team and the cheerleading squad were super busy.

I hardly saw them other than in lectures. Even at night, Jake was exhausted to even talk with me over the phone for a long time. But he called me every night, and most of the time, he fell into sleep in the middle of our call. However, he texted me each and every time he could.

I know he was doing his best to balance his studies, football, and me. But there are times I really miss him.

So, somedays I went to the football field, just to see they practice. But I couldn't do that every day as I was afraid someone will suspect something. You know, hiding an affair from everyone around you is harder than you can ever imagine... Each and every minute, you have to be scared, thinking someone will suspect something...

However, days past like this, and then it was the day of the match everyone was eagerly waiting for.

I was on my way to Victoria university when I heard my phone rang.

The call was from Jake...

"Hello..."

"Hello, Princess..." his deep voice raised.

"We came to Victoria... I am about to switch off my phone and put it in the locker. But before that, I felt like I need to hear your voice." he said.

"Oh!!! Wish you all the best, Jake... I know you are going to nail this." I said.

"Give me a kiss..." he said.

"What?"

"Yeah... give me a kiss over the phone... Be quick..." he said.

I blushed even though he was nowhere near me.

"Sarah, quickly..." he said again.

I gave him a kiss over the phone... It felt a bit awkward but romantic too...

*****************

The whole stadium was filled with spectators... Due to the long-time rivalry between the two universities and their highly skilled players, this match has become one of the interesting topics in sports, and there were a lot of reporters too.

"Hey..." a beautiful blond girl from our university sat next to me, and she greeted me. Her name is Sally, have I mentioned her? If not, she is one of those girls, who didn't bother me at university. As far as I know, she is from a rich family, and her grades are not that bad either. "Hey..."I said in reply.

"Today is going to be a big day, huh?" she said.

"Of course... hopefully odds may in our favor," I said, smiling.

Then it was announced the arrival of the Victoria team... The whole stadium echoed with cheers.

Then it was our team... We all stood up cheering for our players...

They came to the field, led by my Jake... My Prince...

After him, it was Luke, who is the vice-captain and then Shane...

Jake was looking at the supporters of our university. I knew he was looking for me...

I just waved the flag which was on my hand, but I knew he can't see it among all the other flags, that are waved in the air.

However, his face lit up with a smile, and it was my signal that he saw me...

Then the match began...

It was a pretty tough match as both teams have a talented set of players.

However, Jake managed to score a goal within the first 10 minutes. Everyone stood up cheering...

Jake!!! Jake!!! Jake!!!

His name was echoing everywhere.

Jake looked at the area I was sitting, with a huge smile on his face. His sweat covered face looked handsome than ever, and it was so hard, not to run to him and kiss him...

The girls who were sitting in front of us seemed to be huge Jake fans...

They even had his posters.

"He looked at us and smiled..." one of them screamed.

"Yeah... It is his rare smile... He looks handsome than ever... Oh, Jake... Marry me, please..." one of the other girls screamed.

Not in this lifetime, he is going to marry you, girl... He is mine... Only mine... I thought, smiling.
