The Fated Match

Nineteen

Jenny was keeping me updated with how training was going. With only a few more days until their competition I wanted to be able to give them advise on top what Tina was telling them. I wasn’t allowed to even come into the building until my dad had sorted something out.

Even if they did eventually agree to let me back in, it wouldn’t be until next week and honestly its driving me crazy.

“This is not how I expected my day to turn out” Jacob said from beside me as he drove into the campus.

After a restless few nights I decided to risk my job even more by sneaking in. Every time I train with them its just us, the only person I don’t want to see me is Michelle. I just know that she will try to get me into trouble.

I pulled at my large hoodie “Count yourself lucky, I could’ve chosen anyone” I said to him. He pulled into the carpark and parked the car.

“yeah only because Theo couldn’t come” he grumbled opening his door. I don’t know why he’s so bothered it’s not like he had anything better to do. FIFA isn’t exactly a great use of his time on his day off.

He claimed it was good practice for football but to me that just sounded like an excuse. The only type of practice that is beneficial is physically out on the football field.

He was right though I had texted Theo asking for him to help me, but he had scheduled a day to look around schools with his ex for Dillan to go to school.

He made sure to tell me how pissed off he was that he had to spend his day doing that, but I agreed to meet him later sensing that he might need a good distraction from his ex. All I know is that he had a very and I mean very toxic relationship with her so spending that much time with her is never good.

“Maybe if you’re good I’ll let Jenny spend the afternoon with you” I knew it was bad making these deals with him but if there’s one way to get Jacob to do anything for you this is the way to do it.

His eyes lit up at the mention of it. I just hummed as I followed him inside, his steps appearing lighter.

Worked like a charm.

Those two are good for each other. They respect each others success and know that they shouldn’t get in the way of each others training but sometimes its good to break off from it and relax.

“I purposely didn’t tell them just so I could record you yelling at them” he says pulling out his phone. I watch as opens up his camera as we reach the pool doors.

I rolled my eyes at his antics but go into coach mode quickly.

“you can’t share it anywhere; I’m not supposed to be here” I said grabbing his arm.

“oh, I know coach, its for my own amusement” he says getting into position again. I passed him as I walked into the room. “whatever gets you off Jacob” I mumbled, causing his to choke and cough out.

I pushed the door open praying to see them all training hard. They have posted a lot on Instagram of them all training, knowing that I will be watching.

I looked around seeing the twins climbing up to the diving board. Mel was timing bryony as she swam down the pool. The overall atmosphere was like nothing had changed and I was happy.

Well that was until I searched for the golden boy of the team. Who decided to lounge around at the side of the pool with Leila who I guess decided to show up after taking a long leave due to her anxiety which I was happy for?

“Jacob” I whispered to him still not letting them know I was watching.

“yeah coach” he said his phone pointing towards the pool.

“Grab me an ice-cold water bottle from the fridge will you” I said kicking off my shoes and removing my socks.

He didn’t say a word and ran towards the office. I quietly made my way towards our social group. Jenny was the first to see me, but I brought my finger towards my lips silencing her.

Jacob soon returned with the biggest bottle of water we had. I unscrewed the top and without wasting any time poured the water down Scott’s naked back.

I leant back watching him scream like a girl as he felt the ice-cold water down his back, much different to the warm temperature of the pool.

“what the fuck… oh shit” he screamed before realising it was me. Leila and George swam away clearly not about to be involved with Scott.

You would think that he would have learnt his lesson by now, but I guess not.

“what are you doing exactly” I asked him crossing my arms over my chest. “Here’s the money maker” I heard Jacob say from beside me.

“I was just uh taking a break, I’ve been training all morning I swear coach. Jenny tell her” he called out to jenny who was standing at the end of the pool.

“sure, you were Scott” she said smirking over at him. I watched Scott tense up clearly not pleased with the lack of support from his team.

“well since you’ve been training so hard Scott show me “I pointed over to the end of the pool. He quickly swam to the end.

My eyes moved over to Leila who looked a bit shy she was afraid to meet my eyes.

“Are you back?” she asked quietly. The others looked at me waiting for my answer.

“No, I’m still working on it but soon. I’m not supposed to be here but managed to bribe Jacob to get me in” I said pointing to the grinning boy beside me.

He nudged me lightly “oh speaking of that. Jenny” I called over to her. Her brown eyes watched me.

“you’re allowed to go with Jackson, thanks for everything go have a nice evening” instead of being excited she just glared at her boyfriend.

“C’mon princess, we’ve got limited time for the list of things I want to do with you” Jackson said already making his way over to the exit.

Too much information.

I just shook my head. “I’ll try keep him on a leash next time” she said stopping next to me. she passed me a whistle and the timer she was using before following Jacob out.

“good Scott, your consistent but this time try not to wait until the end to use your power, you need a good start” even with my straight face I was proud of him. It does show that he has been training hard.

“Are we all at our qualifying times” I said looking around at everyone. Relief was painted across my face as they nodded.

“coach, you want to watch us” Thomas shouted from his height on the diving board.

I turned agreeing.

When they swam back up to surface I walked over. “Very nice, you’ve improved on your splash its not so messy” I said remembering their splash from before.

“but you need to improve your tuck position so it’s the same for both of you alright” they quickly walked over to the board again talking with each other.

I spend most of the afternoon working with everyone. Leila was clearly not ready for the competition with so much time off, but she didn’t expect to be. She’s the youngest so she still has time.

I’m just glad about her change in attitude and the fact that she is back.

Scott managed to sneak me out and drive me back home. I was relieved that I was able to come and watch them. I was worried before but now my stress is put at ease with everything.

When I arrived at home, I quickly took a shower and called my dad. He went on to tell me he was organising a meeting with one of the board members and he thinks that we won’t have to take action it should be relatively easy.

He also went on to tell me he wants to meet Theo which has me unsettled. I don’t really know what to do about that.

It was 7 in the evening when I got the all clear from Theo I quickly pulled on a jumper with my shorts and followed google maps to Theo’s place.

He was cooking for us tonight which had me excited since Theo is an amazing cook and he can never fail to amaze me with the food he makes.

I made it inside his house. he needed to finish off making dinner, so I just watched him with a glass of wine he had given me on arrival.

I was at awe with the food displayed in front of me. he had made some kind of Asian chicken dish with rice. There were dumplings and even crab legs with corn.

“are you trying to make me fat” I said pulling out a chair and sitting down. He looked at the food. “No but seeing you eat salads all the time kind of makes me want to cook for you everyday”

I will admit I do eat mostly salads at work but when I’m home I eat well.

“here you break it from this part and then slide it out” I watched him show me how to get the meat out of the crab legs. I’ve seen people online do this but never in my life have I tried it myself.

He handed me the crab meat and let me taste it.

I placed it in my mouth and started to chew. It was surprisingly very tender and salty, and I instantly fell in love. Theo watched my reaction and smiled. “I’m guessing you liked it” he commented.

“I love it” I said through a moan as I ate some more of it.

Theo turned to his food a small smile on his lips.

I know that crab is expensive so I think he was relieved that I enjoyed it otherwise it would have been a waste of money.

“Did you find a school for Dillon” I asked him a few minutes later. “we did, it’s not far from where hazel will be living” ah that’s right his ex is going to move to Liverpool to be closer to Theo since at the minute Theo doesn’t get t se his son all that much.

“That’s good I bet you’re happy about that” I said trying not to sound too sarcastic.

“of course, I want Dillon to be closer but I’m not excited about seeing hazel more these days with that idiot of a boyfriend she has”

It makes sense but “surely he can’t be that bad right” he glanced up at me astonished that would even say that.

I held my hands up “sorry” I said sheepishly.

“enough about that, how was your training today. Jacob sent me the video of you punishing Scott” he said a smile on his lips.

I told him not to share it.

“yeah training was good I managed to not get noticed” I think dad would kill me if I he knew what I did. He told me to lay low and not get involved but I didn’t listen.

“so, todays been a success for both of us” he said grabbing his glass and taking a small sip from it. He was right it was.

Now we were able to end it with what I can describe is the best meal I’ve ever had in my life.

“cheers to that” I said raising my glass to him. He stared over at me slowly raising his glass to meet mine.

When we had both finished, we grabbed our plates and moved to the kitchen. I placed my plate in the sink before moving over to the fridge and putting the wine inside.

Theo refused to let me do anything and cleaned up.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

I walked into his living room and walked around. I noticed a few pictures on a large display table.

My curiosity got the best of me and I proceeded to look for a picture maybe with his dad.

I saw one that looked like it could be a good contender. I picked it up bringing it closer.

“That’s your grandfather taking that picture” I heard Theo say walking into the room. I glanced over at him surprised. “this is in japan?” I asked.

He walked over. “yes” he paused taking the picture from me “it was a day before my dad’s 60th birthday” he explained to me.

I couldn’t help the smile that appeared on my face. I soon felt Theo come up behind me, his finger moving my hair to the side giving him complete access to my exposed neck. His finger traced my tattoo again.

“when I was younger, I was upset to never have any gifts from him but now I think you’re my gift from Chikara even though I never was able to meet him “I swooned at his words, so sweet and heart-warming.

I turned around to face him.

“I miss him you know, its been over 6 years but I still miss him like it was yesterday” I said leaning my head against his chest. Theo moved his hands to my back rubbing me gently.

I would do anything to see my grandfather again to hear his voice and to have that energy that he always carried around with him.

“you won’t ever stop missing him Elle, it’s completely normal” he said his hand still rubbing my back.

I slowly lifted my head watching his already staring down at me with those warm eyes.

Gramps what are you trying to do here.

I had the sudden urge to taste Theo, to feel his hands on me more than just him simply rubbing my back. I wanted more from him.

“How long are you going to hold back from me Theo” I said bravely moving my hands up to his neck.

He leaned back staring at me “I’m not holding back I just want you to be sure this is what you want” he whispered his hands finally moved down to grab my ass just like I wanted him to. His large hands grabbed me.

“what made you think that you’re not what I want” I whispered slowly as I traced his tattoo. He closed his eyes.

I took this as my opportunity, and I grabbed the back of his neck and pressed my lips onto his. His eyes shot open and he was kissing me back instantly without missing a beat.

“Be my boyfriend Theo. Let people know that you’re mine” I said moving down his neck. His hold on me was insanely tight.

He moaned lifting me up” possessed by Elle Williams has always been a dream of mine” he said his lips twitching.

I pinched him slightly before leaning into him once again.

He carried me over to the sofa sitting down with me in his lap

He grabbed the end of my jumper lifting it over my head. “Tell me when to stop Elle” he whispered his head lowering down to cover my naked chest.

I definitely did purposely not wear a bra underneath. Knowing full well I was coming to see Theo tonight.

“Don’t be shocked if you never hear me say stop tonight “I said pushing his head further to my chest. I could feel his hard-on underneath me letting me know just how exactly I affect theo.

I don’t think I’ll ever want him to stop.
