Chapter Sixty - Seven DesireeI wanted to tell him but that meant he was either Sylvester was going to be punched to stupor or he was going to end up broken physically.“Nothing!” I replied, controlling my tears, and swallowing every emotion that could give away what was going on.“Desiree please ….talk to me!” No I couldn't…“I just feel really tired that's all!” I lied Killian pulled me into another hug and as usual planted a kiss on my head.“Don't hide anything from me, ever!” He pleaded I nodded my head to respond to him..“I can see you are in shorts today Mr Donovan!” I pointed out..“Tell me something I don't know, you find me attractive in this outfit?” He smirked.“Don't flatter yourself Killian!” I took my seat back on the couch. “I will come pick you up, tomorrow miss Desiree I hope you are ready for tomorrow's game!” “You have no idea!” I teased.I escorted him to the door and for the last time he reminded me.“Desiree, don't hide anything from me, ever!” He repeat
Chapter Sixty - EightDesiree“Your brother?” She exclaimed..“You are the lady that plays lacrosse?” He look shocked Yes I earned that medal duhhhh….“Yes I am, it's so nice meeting you, and Gwen!” I extended my hands towards him and his wife.“You guys look so alike!” I whispered into Killian's ears.“But you love me more!” He smirked..I gave him a friendly punch.“He looks 21!” I whispered..“Did you notice that?” Killian went off topic.“What is that?” “My heart just skipped a beat!” He took my hand and placed it on his chest.What is wrong with him???I smiled at his action and we stared into each other's eyes..“Thank you!” He voiced..“For what?” I asked confused.“For coming to this game with me, I had no intentions of coming before cause there's no one to cheer with, and also I had no idea that Raphael was coming home!” “There's nothing wrong in cheering alone, you can be the odd one sometimes here, watch!”.I stood on my seat and shouted at the top of my voice ..“BREAK
Chapter Sixty - NineDesireeWe walked to the snack truck in the school and bought a few snacks and started to head back to the game.Honestly I was enjoying Gwen's company.“This tastes really nice!” Gwen said as she took a scoop of her ice cream.“What is your area of expertise?” I curiously asked her.“I love to smile and I love love skydiving!” She responded…Even though that wasn't what I entirely meant but It was fun to know she has such an interesting hobby.“Wait, that wasn't why you meant right??” She finally realised.“No but it's fun to know that you have such a risky sport as skydiving!” “Oh it's so fun, the wind in your hairs and the freedom, besides my area of expertise, I'm a tech lady, I studied cyber security!” Wow it's not everyday I see someone in the tech industries, yeah they are much out there but I have never had one this close.“I don't know what that is but it sounds cool!” “Yeah it's cool until you have some weird clients!” She expressed the annoyance on h
Chapter SeventyKillian'“So you are the lady that plays lacrosse?” Raphael asked Desiree after I introduced them both to each other.Desiree was very much shocked I had told her about my brother but she definitely didn't know she was meeting him soon.I know she thinks she wasn't prepared for it, but I knew she was going to do just fine.It was all fun until I had nothing to say that she was, which in turn I decided I was going to finally ask her out…I was already scared at the thought of that but hey, it's better I give that a try??What if she had been waiting for me??“You both have such striking resemblance!” Desiree noted.That was a flex I guess when they interviewed my brother on the street and told him they will like to give him more beauty, I'm sure he said;“No double it and give it to the next person!”Which is me!!! But I'm glad when people say you look like your brother….“But you like me more!” I smirked.I caught from the corner of my eyes how blushed she was.“Thank
Chapter Seventy-OneKillianI took her to the coach and we had just five minutes to the second half.“Here can she play for the team?” Desiree looked so ready, the look on her face she looked like she was about to take down the whole foundation of the field.“She's not a student but in occasions like this there's no any option than to take a volunteer, but a lady, this is lacrosse and it's rough!” The coach warned.I had confidence in her but those bulwarks kids are aggressive and their coach is crazy!!“I will!” Desire defended herself….The coach took a look at her again already knowing his thoughts and concern.“Okay let me get you your jersey!” .The coach walked off leaving I, Desiree, Raphael and Gwen.“Promise me again that you will play safe or else I'm coming there and shutting down the whole stadium if anything goes wrong!” I promised..And I meant it!!!“A bruise on the knee or less nothing more!” She assured.“Lacrosse girl, break their legs!”Raphael motivated her.“No br
Chapter Seventy-TwoDesireeand the whistle blew.The ball got passed to the first person, he ran along with it but he didn't have much resistance but he reached a reasonable distance before the ball got hijacked from him. It wasn't time for me to come in, I just played low. The second guy(No 18) from my team managed to get the ball from the other team he ran along with it but the other teams were coming for him but they were aiming for his legs, cause he had more resistance than the other. Their aim is to slow him down. It still wasn't my time to come but it was slowly coming.The ball was collected from him but he was able to escape the leg hit..Now it was my time. I launched for the ball from the other time , collected the ball and started to head not for the post but I played around a bit.. This was why I played low for a while…to save my strength…And he didn't save his…With speed, I started to head for the goal post, there was a guy coming to try to block the post as calcula
Chapter Seventy-ThreeKillian“What do you mean by let's go, the team wants to see you!” She was breathing irrevocably faster than normal.“Please let's go!” She pleaded.“Desiree what's wrong?” Raphael asked, looking at her.Desiree started tearing up irrevocably.I pulled her into my arms trying to calm her down“We have to go!” She repeated.“Let's go!” I orderedWe didn't wait any longer and started moving .Desiree's phone started ringing on repeat.I handed her purse to her and she stopped to check who the caller was.She looked after looking at who the caller was..She picked It up.She looked frantic on the call like she was about to pass out..She dropped the call and ran as fast as she could out of the field.“What's going on with her?” Raphael questioned We ran after her regardless.It was already night and the place was dark, but there was light around.We stopped running when we noticed Desiree standing staring into the distance.What was she looking at , we walked clos
Chapter Seventy-FourDesireeKillian please!” I pleaded as he was about to land the third punch on Sylvester.Raphael immediately pulled him away from Sylvester on the ground.“That's enough!” Raphael ordered.My tears blinded me from seeing Killian's face but I was so glad I couldn't see the look on his face.Gwen pulled me into her embrace and I just sobbed so hard, the guilt I felt from not listening to killian it was so heavy on my chest that it felt like I was about to explode.I bet he would be looking so disgusted.Sylvester was the monster, I wish I had listened to him, I bet Killian would be telling himself he told me so.“You think I didn't know she came in as an escort!” I rubbed my tears off my eyes again as it trickled down.How did he even know that???The ride in the car was very uncomfortable.Raphael and Killian had suggested that I wasn't going to be safe going back home to my apartment so I was going with them to Killian's place “I just want peace!” I whispered..
