Conner pov:
Another week goes by practicing and hitting the gym.
Zoya told me about my interview tomorrow I have to prepare for it.
I have to make a strategy also.
We only have one month left before leaving for Australia for the Cup.
We have to seven matches atleast to qualify for semi final.
There are total of ten teams and every team is the best we can't just underestimate any team.
I've to dig in to every player of every team to make a strategy.
I should focus on winning the cup more than anything else.
Imagines flashed infront of eyes of last week where i told zoya that i like her and kissing her.
After that day we just pretend that nothing like that happen.
It clearly bothers me. I want to take a step but I'm too scared.
It feels like I'm in the last year of high school attending my prom and scared to confess to my crush even tho it's the last chance.
These are the last chances I'm wasting, once the cup is over everything between her and me is also over.
I'm not ready to let her go.
Think Conner think, i want to win the cup and her heart also.
My thoughts got intrupted by a phone call.
I groan feeling annoyed.
I checked the caller id Zack.
I picked it up "What's up Buddy?" I spoke.
"Going to club tonight be ready I'm picking you up"
"But-" i tried to protest.
"No excuses we are going. You are acting so weird lately I'm concerned about you. Be ready at 8 I'm coming"
"Please don't come inside your pants" i joked.
"You know what you are not funny anymore. Fuck you" saying that he hang up.
He was serious when he said he is picking me up. He parked his car outside my apartment building.
I walked downstairs to him.
I hug him.
"Ready for Tonight, let's go" he said.
We both drive towards the club.
We entered the club we usually go for fun.
The loud music hits my ear.
We walked towards the bar. That's when i saw Harris and Alex were also there.
"You seriously brought Harris too. He's still young" i glared at Zack.
"Chill buddy he's not that small and he's not drinking alcohol we ordered him a lemonade" Alex added
"You seriously brought him here to have a Lemonade.." i looked at them with a done expression.
"That's good for the kid" Zack smirks.
"Stop calling me a kid. I'm an adult now" Harris protest.
Alex and Zack laughed in unison.
"You are kid for us because you are the youngest in our team" Alex pinch Harris cheeks.
Harris back away rubbing his cheek "You guys are so weird"
"I'm glad you learned it earlier" Zack laughs "Let's order drinks"
Zack and Alex ordered Vodka while i ordered some Tequila.
"You are seriously not having some Vodka dude" Zack eyed me.
"I don't want to wake up with a hangover dude. I've an interview tomorrow with the press" i explained.
"An interview for what?" Harris asked.
"After the team announcement The Manager told me attend a conference to explain our team selection and as i added a new player so they all are curious to know the reason" i told them.
"Hmm... that's going to streamy. The media is going to ask stupid question so it's better to be in your senses rather than giving an interview with a hangover" Alex said.
"Okay that's fine but you can enjoy the night in other ways also" Zack smirks.
I take a sip of my tequila ignoring i know exactly what he means by enjoying the night in other means and I'm clearly not interested.
It's been three years and i don't feel any sexual desires towards anyother woman beside Zoya.
"Come on don't ignore me dude." Zack elbowed me "you know what i mean"
"I know what you mean and I'm not interested" i told him.
"Come on dude it's been a long time. Don't you feel like a man anymore" Zack fake gasp.
"Shut up it's nothing like that"
"Then why are you not interested." He suddenly smirks "Do you like jerking in the bathroom imagining the person you can't have"
I heart beat increases clearly understanding what does he mean.
"What the fuck does that mean?" I gave him a side eyes to scared to looked at him with a face that clearly says i know what you mean.
"Don't act like a fool. You know what i mean" he leans on the bar counter "i know you like Zoya"
I laughed loudly "Why do you think like that?"
"I've seen the way you looked at her"
"How does i looked at her" i suddenly want to know how does i look at her. Does my body language become too obvious around her that everyone noticed it.
"Like you want to pin her on the nearest wall and fuck her until she passed out" Zack chuckles.
"I don't trust you my face is not that obvious around her" i fight back.
"Maybe not your face but your dick surely" he grins throwing his head back he gulped the whole vodka.
Fuck it i know i become horny around her by seeing her walking in skirts and blouse during our meetings, in t-shirts and shorts when we practice in the ground and in satin and silk dresses when we attend a party.
I gulped the whole tequila and clenched the glass tightly around my hand.
Everybody knows how i act around her.
Does she know?
Does she act differently also?
Does she also feel horny by looking at me?
"Come on dude either tell her that you like her or else stop being a pussy-wipped" Zack snorts "she likes you too"
"How can you say it so confidently?"
"You guys have been dancing around eachother for years and now it become so obvious that you both carve for eachother. It's just you both are too stubborn to accept it" Zack explained.
"I told her that i like her" i confessed the truth.
"When" Zack, Alex and Harris said in unison.
"You are hiding secrets now, Conner. That's so sad" Alex makes an angry face.
"Come on it's just last week i told her and i left her saying that i also don't know what does it mean that i like her" i explain more.
"What the fuck! You told her you like her but also said that you are not sure about that" Alex frowned.
"I don't know why i said that" i ran my hand on my hair messing them.
"You are a dick. I never thought you would be so confused confessing to a girl you liked for the past three years" Zack huff.
"Shut up and give me some tips" i growl.
"Tips?" Alex raised his eyebrow.
"Dude just gift her something expensive she's gonna love it" Zack suggested.
"No, i think give her flowers. Girls love flowers" Alex added.
The night goes by them giving me ridiculous suggestions.
I drank a bit more then left for my house.
