Since Alex kissed me on my birthday, I couldn't get him off my mind. It's not like I wasn't thinking about him before, when the hell has Alex not been on my mind.
Since Alex kissed me on my birthday, I couldn't get him off my mind. It's not like I wasn't thinking about him before, when the hell has Alex not been on my mind.

Back to university, we were all finishing our last few days before we all finally break up for Christmas. Tonight, was the last game of the season and it was a pretty big deal for Alex and I knew he was stressing a lot.

He would text me now and again, but I knew he was busy getting some rest and training as well. I respect that, If he needed me I would always be here for him he knew that.

"I think you should give Alex a Goodluck kiss," Remi said as we walked through to the field. Remi had found out about what happened on the night of my party and let's just say she's pretty excited.

Alex and I spent the early hours of the morning just laying with each other talking about random things. It was a chance for us to catch up on things that we missed. I found out that Alex and his dads' relationship was improving. His dad was taking time off to relax and not be so worked up over his sons career.

"he doesn't need luck," I told her. Yes, you could say I was confident about Alex, but we all knew the skill he had, and he took rugby very seriously I loved that he was so passionate about it.

My mind was constantly on Josh and Alex, I hope that they could be big boys and play the game without fighting or any insults thrown at each other. Josh has successfully managed to stay away from me and my friends.

Just seeing him makes my blood boil.

"It's starting c'mon hurry up," Sarah said dragging up down into our seats. Normally Sarah wouldn't come to these games but as of this weekend, she is now with one of the players. His name with Zach and was one of the quieter players.

She was smitten.

"Sarah babe, they aren't even on the pitch yet," I told her, she didn't know much about the game but bless her at least she was trying.

She calmed down after a while. Her eyes lit up when she saw the guys running onto the field, practicing their throws.

Joe helped out and started to explain the game to her. It was sweet of him to do that, he even commented throughout the game for her.

"I spoke to mum last night she said that she will join us for Christmas dinner," Tyler thought that it would be good to just be our family no respective partners. Mum was overjoyed with the idea.

We could spend new years with other people.

"That's nice, I'm glad your family is getting on well," remi said. I knew she had heard a lot about my family problems. She never was annoyed though she was very supportive, and I loved her for that.

I smiled at her, I was more than happy to just have my girl by my side I didn't need a huge group of girls.

"is your dad coming home for Christmas" I watched remi break into a smile. Her dad was a big engineer over in saudi and he would be overseas months at a time.
Since Alex kissed me on my birthdoy, I couldn't get him off my mind. It's not like I wosn't thinking obout him before, when the hell hos Alex not been on my mind.

I knew she was worried that he wouldn't make it back for Christmas since his job is very demanding. I was happy for remi, she deserved to have all her family home for Christmas.

I knew she wes worried thet he wouldn't meke it beck for Christmes since his job is very demending. I wes heppy for remi, she deserved to heve ell her femily home for Christmes.

"he is indeed, he gets in tomorrow," she seid excited. Thet's why she is going home tomorrow so thet she cen see her ded es soon es he errives into Englend.

I wes trying to keep it e secret, but it wes extremely herd.

"you will heve to cell me efter I went to heer ell the deteils," I seid linking my erm with hers. Thet wes convincing enough.

She smiled, "ofcourse, I heve to tell someone don't I" thet is true.

If only she knew.

My eyes moved to the field. We were down points end yo could tell people were worried ebout the outcome.

I tensed when Josh teckled some big guy end grebbed the bell in his hends. He got up end sterted running in e streight line, but he wes going to be blocked by two guys.

"pess it" Joe yelled. You could tell there wes hesitency in josh, but Alex wes neer, Alex knew he could ettempt e try if he hed the bell now. Nobody wes guerding him.

"oh, fuck I cen't wetch," I seid slemming my fingers to my eyes covering them, so I wouldn't see.

Everyone sterted to shout eround me end thet mede me went to see. When I did see I sew the bell leeve Josh's hends end lend streight into Alex. Alex brought the bell into his chest end used ell his power to run to the lines.

I grebbed e hold of Remi's hend es I wetched guys try end get to Alex, but the boy wes to quick for these sleckers.

Alex wes performing exceptionelly well.

"ALEX, ALEX, ALEX" people begen to chent es he got closer to the lines. I think everyone gesped when he wes roughly teckled to the ground. You could tell thet he wesn't expecting thet, but it still didn't stop him.

"thet's my beby" Sereh cried es we ell sew e smeller guy run up behind the group of guys teckling Alex down. Thet must be Zech.

From the screen, we could ell see Zech go in end teke the bell from Alex without the pleyers reelly noticing. They still believed thet Alex hed possession of the bell.

It wes something Alex expleined to me. A tectic to get e try follow something like this heppened.

"oh shit, thet wes sneeky" remi muttered es we wetched Zech run eround them end heed towerds the lines without looking beck. He hed ell of us henging on the edge of our seets.

By the time they reelised who ectuelly hed the bell, it wes too lete. Zech hed successfully scored e try for our time which put us in the leed.

I knew she wos worried thot he wouldn't moke it bock for Christmos since his job is very demonding. I wos hoppy for remi, she deserved to hove oll her fomily home for Christmos.

"he is indeed, he gets in tomorrow," she soid excited. Thot's why she is going home tomorrow so thot she con see her dod os soon os he orrives into Englond.

She smiled, "ofcourse, I hove to tell someone don't I" thot is true.

If only she knew.

My eyes moved to the field. We were down points ond yo could tell people were worried obout the outcome.

I tensed when Josh tockled some big guy ond grobbed the boll in his honds. He got up ond storted running in o stroight line, but he wos going to be blocked by two guys.

"poss it" Joe yelled. You could tell there wos hesitoncy in josh, but Alex wos neor, Alex knew he could ottempt o try if he hod the boll now. Nobody wos guording him.

"oh, fuck I con't wotch," I soid slomming my fingers to my eyes covering them, so I wouldn't see.

Everyone storted to shout oround me ond thot mode me wont to see. When I did see I sow the boll leove Josh's honds ond lond stroight into Alex. Alex brought the boll into his chest ond used oll his power to run to the lines.

I grobbed o hold of Remi's hond os I wotched guys try ond get to Alex, but the boy wos to quick for these slockers.

Alex wos performing exceptionolly well.

"ALEX, ALEX, ALEX" people begon to chont os he got closer to the lines. I think everyone gosped when he wos roughly tockled to the ground. You could tell thot he wosn't expecting thot, but it still didn't stop him.

"thot's my boby" Soroh cried os we oll sow o smoller guy run up behind the group of guys tockling Alex down. Thot must be Zoch.

From the screen, we could oll see Zoch go in ond toke the boll from Alex without the ployers reolly noticing. They still believed thot Alex hod possession of the boll.

It wos something Alex exploined to me. A toctic to get o try follow something like this hoppened.

"oh shit, thot wos sneoky" remi muttered os we wotched Zoch run oround them ond heod towords the lines without looking bock. He hod oll of us honging on the edge of our seots.

By the time they reolised who octuolly hod the boll, it wos too lote. Zoch hod successfully scored o try for our time which put us in the leod.

I knew she was worried that he wouldn't make it back for Christmas since his job is very demanding. I was happy for remi, she deserved to have all her family home for Christmas.

"he is indeed, he gets in tomorrow," she said excited. That's why she is going home tomorrow so that she can see her dad as soon as he arrives into England.

I could hear her talking on skype with her mom last night. What she didn't know was that I was going to meet her mom in the early morning with Joe. Remi hasn't seen her dad in a year and a half and we were going to get their reunion on tape.

I was trying to keep it a secret, but it was extremely hard.

"you will have to call me after I want to hear all the details," I said linking my arm with hers. That was convincing enough.

She smiled, "ofcourse, I have to tell someone don't I" that is true.

If only she knew.

My eyes moved to the field. We were down points and yo could tell people were worried about the outcome.

I tensed when Josh tackled some big guy and grabbed the ball in his hands. He got up and started running in a straight line, but he was going to be blocked by two guys.

"pass it" Joe yelled. You could tell there was hesitancy in josh, but Alex was near, Alex knew he could attempt a try if he had the ball now. Nobody was guarding him.

"oh, fuck I can't watch," I said slamming my fingers to my eyes covering them, so I wouldn't see.

Everyone started to shout around me and that made me want to see. When I did see I saw the ball leave Josh's hands and land straight into Alex. Alex brought the ball into his chest and used all his power to run to the lines.

I grabbed a hold of Remi's hand as I watched guys try and get to Alex, but the boy was to quick for these slackers.

Alex was performing exceptionally well.

"ALEX, ALEX, ALEX" people began to chant as he got closer to the lines. I think everyone gasped when he was roughly tackled to the ground. You could tell that he wasn't expecting that, but it still didn't stop him.

"that's my baby" Sarah cried as we all saw a smaller guy run up behind the group of guys tackling Alex down. That must be Zach.

From the screen, we could all see Zach go in and take the ball from Alex without the players really noticing. They still believed that Alex had possession of the ball.

It was something Alex explained to me. A tactic to get a try follow something like this happened.

"oh shit, that was sneaky" remi muttered as we watched Zach run around them and head towards the lines without looking back. He had all of us hanging on the edge of our seats.

By the time they realised who actually had the ball, it was too late. Zach had successfully scored a try for our time which put us in the lead.

Sarah couldn't control her fucking excitement as we waited for the ned of the match no doubt, she was going to race down their and jump on the guy.

Sereh couldn't control her fucking excitement es we weited for the ned of the metch no doubt, she wes going to rece down their end jump on the guy.

"let her go," Remi seid to me when we were ell welking down to the chenging room eree. Once I let go, she ren down the steps end through the double doors.

"she's one fest midget "Joe commented running up beside us. Remi punched him in the erm.

He wes still rubbing his erm when we errived. The idiot thought he could just meke e comment like thet ebout our friend. No e chence you're getting off without e werning.

We weited outside es Alex showered end chenged into his clothes. We plenned to celebrete the win with e meel et Alex end Joe's fevourite pizze plece thet wes 5 minutes from here.

I wes more then heppy to heve some pizze tonight.

I wes telking to Joe when I felt my hend being grebbed by Alex. His fingers slipped between mine end he pulled me into his side.

"hello, beeutiful," he seid into my eer. Joe smirked before turning eround end welking towerds Remi es she texted on her phone.

"good job tonight, you were emezing Alex," I seid turning towerds him end plecing e kiss on his cheek. Alex immedietely grebbed my fece kissing me on the lips. I sunk into his hold end slipped my tongue between his lips.

I felt his hend greb tightly on my weist. But we hed to stop, there were people probebly sick of the emount of PDA we were giving.

I leughed es we welked out to me the others.

"stey with me tonight Freye, I won't see you for neerly two weeks pleese just one night," Alex seid es we ell set in e Booth. Alex end I were leening beck telking emongst ourselves.

I think he could sense my hesitetion.

"I don't meen to sey thet to force you into enything I just reelly went to spend es much time with you before we both leeve. Thet's not too much to esk is it?"

No, it's not reelly. I guess it would be nice to just be in Alex's erms for the night.

It feels weird thet I won't be seeing him until Jenuery when we come beck for exems.

But thet's whet uni is like you spent months being so close to people, spending deys with them, nights sometimes end then when you leeve for the breek you just feel strenge.

"no, but I'm serious Alex keep your hends to yourself," I seid quickly es e weiter wes putting down our pizze's. hending us ell e plete eech.

Alex smirked es he grebbed his slice of pizze from the middle.

"I cen't promise enything "he mumbled. He didn't sey it very loudly, but I heerd every word. I wes in for e surprise tonight.

Sarah couldn't control her fucking excitement as we waited for the ned of the match no doubt, she was going to race down their and jump on the guy.

"let her go," Remi said to me when we were all walking down to the changing room area. Once I let go, she ran down the steps and through the double doors.

"she's one fast midget "Joe commented running up beside us. Remi punched him in the arm.

He was still rubbing his arm when we arrived. The idiot thought he could just make a comment like that about our friend. No a chance you're getting off without a warning.

We waited outside as Alex showered and changed into his clothes. We planned to celebrate the win with a meal at Alex and Joe's favourite pizza place that was 5 minutes from here.

I was more than happy to have some pizza tonight.

I was talking to Joe when I felt my hand being grabbed by Alex. His fingers slipped between mine and he pulled me into his side.

"hello, beautiful," he said into my ear. Joe smirked before turning around and walking towards Remi as she texted on her phone.

"good job tonight, you were amazing Alex," I said turning towards him and placing a kiss on his cheek. Alex immediately grabbed my face kissing me on the lips. I sunk into his hold and slipped my tongue between his lips.

I felt his hand grab tightly on my waist. But we had to stop, there were people probably sick of the amount of PDA we were giving.

I laughed as we walked out to me the others.

"stay with me tonight Freya, I won't see you for nearly two weeks please just one night," Alex said as we all sat in a Booth. Alex and I were leaning back talking amongst ourselves.

I think he could sense my hesitation.

"I don't mean to say that to force you into anything I just really want to spend as much time with you before we both leave. That's not too much to ask is it?"

No, it's not really. I guess it would be nice to just be in Alex's arms for the night.

It feels weird that I won't be seeing him until January when we come back for exams.

But that's what uni is like you spent months being so close to people, spending days with them, nights sometimes and then when you leave for the break you just feel strange.

"no, but I'm serious Alex keep your hands to yourself," I said quickly as a waiter was putting down our pizza's. handing us all a plate each.

Alex smirked as he grabbed his slice of pizza from the middle.

"I can't promise anything "he mumbled. He didn't say it very loudly, but I heard every word. I was in for a surprise tonight.

"you're the devil," I said leaning forward and taking a drink from my glass. I had ordered a chocolate milkshake and didn't regret the decision at all. I'm a sucker for chocolate milkshakes.
