All Chapters of Hunted By The Player: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I get home and have to press the doorbell as I’m reminded that I don't have the keys. Valentina opens the door. She talks so fast I hardly understand anything due to her accent.“Why didn't you call? We were worried, but not so much because you are on the news around the world,” she says, speaking a thousand words per minute.“Yeah, I noticed. I saw it on some websites.” I shrug as though it isn’t much of a big deal. I try to be as natural as possible, but I have not gotten used to reading about myself on websites. I have chosen not to give it too much thought and look at the positive aspect of it.I notice my new bracelet from the corner of my eye and my head is in the clouds.“Tell me everything, and we mean everything, don’t you dare leave out any details!” she threatens as Joanna and Katrina come running to join this juicy conversation.“We're dating. Like officially,” I say, jumping up and showing off the bracelet. They all start screaming.“I have a famous friend now!” Katrina s

I wake up to the light in the room. I am sweating from the summer heat but nothing can beat the sight of Hunter all curled up against me. I look at the bedside table and read that it is 7 a.m. It's Tuesday, and I hate Tuesday, because it's way before Friday.I get up to get ready to go to university, before remembering they are in mourning. After doing my morning hygiene, I decide to wake Hunter up. I kiss his cheek, and he smiles lazily, opening one eye at a time.“Good morning lazy bum. I don't want to scare you, but it's already 7:05. Don’t you have to attend your morning training session?” I ask him, offering several kisses to wake him up.He jumps up upon hearing ‘training’, frantically saying, “Oh shit! We need to go soon. I need to get to the training camp by 8 a.m., and I still need to drop you off at the university. Sorry, but there will not be time for us to have breakfast.”“Hunter, calm down. I don't have class today, remember?” I say, laughing at him.“Okay, then let me d

The following day just seems to drag. Class. Lunch. Class. I can’t pay attention in Mr. Rivers' class, and every hour I sneak away to the bathroom to check the game score. Not that I’m truly interested in the game. I am interested in seeing him on the field.It is about two in the afternoon when the game ends and he has several interviews. He is shirtless because he had given his shirt to another player on the opposing team as a fan-gift. Seeing him bare chested, I almost have a heart attack. While walking on campus, people come to comment about how well he plays. Of course... everyone knows we are together.On the one hand, I want to go back to America to flee this madness and hope it passes soon. But on the other, it would mean having to live away from Hunter, and this is eating me up inside. I am madly in love with him, and the thought of being apart hurts me way too much.Finally, I get to go home. The girls and I leave University at 5 p.m. We walk as usual but make a quick stop

“I'll never find anyone like her because I found you. I spotted you. When I saw you, smeared with booze in that white tank top, it was the cutest thing I've ever seen. And with you still cursing me, I went crazy. But I didn't know the person that you are, and I did the thing I will regret most in my life: having treated you as I treated others.”My eyes tear up. This was not what I was expecting to hear."You made me better from the moment you told me the first no. I was pissed off at you and screwed up, but you were always on my side after that. When you said I was the heartbreaking kind of guy, I realized that I had been that guy these last few months. And that’s not me. You managed to switch on a side of me I had long lost forgotten or rather buried so deep, it wouldn’t be uncovered”He cups my face like a child, kissing me deeply. “And you, only you Selena, brought the best in me. You brought out the best in me in less than a month for what four years didn't do for me. That's why

“Well, you agreed you wanted to visit Paris. So, I decided to give it to us as a commemoration gift.” He smiles.“And what exactly are we celebrating?” I ask. He's even crazier than I thought he was.“Our love, my beautiful Selena.” He smiles and watches me blush. I have absolutely no response to that one except. His gesture has left me speechless.“I only brought clothes for one night. I'm going to Paris, and I don't have clothes, how original, huh!” I pout.“It doesn't matter; clothes are the least of our worries right now,” he replies. He asks me to loosen up and enjoy the destination rather than anticipating the next problem.“Benvingut on board, Mr. Blanco,” says the pilot, joining us at our seats. Welcome aboard, Mr. Blanco. He is formally dressed and looks familiar.“Selena, this is Marco, our pilot,” introduces Hunter.Holy shit, the karaoke guy. I go red, but I'm glad Hunter doesn’t notice.Our flight time is two hours. When we got off at the airport, it is cold. Hunter offer
