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..
Chapter Seventy -FiveKillianI stepped into the garage and I looked around maybe that was why I was getting a feeling of being watched, I didn't know if Sylvester would have been the one to plant that tracker on my car, but Regardless desiree wasn't going to be going back to her apartment at all. Not when Sylvester is still out there.After an hour we arrived at my place.Gwen ushered Desiree out of the car, and Desiree didn't even dare look up at me and I could tell her eyes were filled with tears and It broke my heart that she didn't let me help her.She went straight into her room, no words, not even food. I guess no one was hungry cause we had a lot of takeouts to eat.I wanted to talk to her but I decided to go against it because she needed to be alone. Gwen had tried talking to her but she wasn't responding.I slumped into the couch and I just drained myself there.“That escalated pretty fast!” Raphael walked into my room and sat on the couch.“I don't even know what to say!”
