The Woman Scorned

II

We soon entered the stadium and the amount of people who came to watch the game are amazing me. The stadium can occupy around 90 thousand people and as we enter, half of the stadium was already occupied and the stream of people are continiously moving towards the unocupied seats in the building.

I just followed Annie as we navigate our way through the sea of people.

"There they are," Annie slightly rasises her voice due to the loudness of the place. The crowd was already starting their cheer but the game is yet to start.

At last we, near the bench where the players are seated. We place our things on the bench directly above the team but instead of sitting, Annie drags me towards the place where the players are located.

"Rocco!" Annie shouts.

"Oh my God Annie, stop. This is so embarassing. Look at the people, they are staring," I said as I try to hide my face from the questioning looks of the people. But Annie just raises her head and walks on confidently.

Annie shrugs it off and says, "Stares are harmless, let them be."

I just face palm and follow the shameless woman. "Rocco!"

I see Rocco jogging towards us and hugs Annie.

"Great that you`re here. I now have my inspiration," Rocco says and kisses her.

"Excuse me, never mind that I`m here but we`re in the middle of the field," I said slightly amused and annoyed.

This time, Annie has the nerve to blush.

"And top blushing miss Angelique, I know that it`s the sole reason why were both here." I slightly yell.

"Shut up miss prude," then she turns to Rocco. "So, remember the guy that I told you Tharra likes ?"

" Oh. He`s there," then he points to a guy that`s standing a few feet before us but his back is turned to us and i can`t see his face but his has an impressive stature and if I were to stand next to him, he`ll be a good two heads taller.

Despite this, we still approach him.

"Yo, Michael," Rocco calls out to his teamate and in turn, the Michael turns towards us.

And when he did, it`s like world stopped turning. Yes, he`s that good looking.

He nods at Rocco and turns to us.

"This is my girlfriend Angelique and this is her friend Tharra. She`s a great fan of yours," I am shocked by the spotlight effect of Rocco`s words. I don`t really like to be singled out like this. I turn to Annie and she holds the arms of her boyfriend and says,"You won`t believe me when I say that you`re all she ever talks about. Even during the car ride here, all she talks about are about you."

Traitor, who`s talking about who. I really should tell her boyrfriend that she`s my informant and what I know about Michael, I only knew through her. I was snapped out of staring Annie when Michael walks towards me.

"Really?" a smile creeps into his lips and a he nears me, I feel my heart beating like crazy inside my chest. When he`s about a feet away from me, he takes my hand and kisses it. "Then the pleasure is mine pretty lady."

He winks at me and turns around. "Rocco, let`s go." Then he turns to me again,"Cheer for me miss Athara, will ya`"

I just loved the ways my name rolled from his lips and all I ever managed was to nod.

I feel like floating in the air, and when Annie was dragging me again to the bleachers, I can`t help but smile and touch my burning cheeks.

"So, what do you think of him?" Annie asks me.

"Oh don`t ask me. I can`t even describe this feeling," I said giddily.

I can`t wait for the game to start.

Not even tem minutes later
