It Never Ends

Soccer Girl.

*Louis’s POV*

I stood waiting against my car for illianna outside of the practice field like I told her.

My beloved possession in my hands. My soccer ball.

My ball was my baby, in back of illianna though. illianna is first place all the way.

I was dressed in my practice jersey, soccer shorts, socks, and cleats as well.

It was always my dream to play beside illianna, but today I’m going to play against her.

Around the World. One on One.

As I stood waiting for illianna, I kept re-living our actions last night. It was incredible.

We didn’t get a chance to speak about it this morning, and hopefully after our game, we can talk about where we stand. Will we be friends or more?

Confidence took over my body last night. I never took it that fast with a girl. I even undressed illianna and slept with her. We have to be more than friends.

And the fact that Zayn doesn’t know about it is haunting me. He will kill me if he found out me and his sister hooked up.

But, Zayn’s not important right now. He doesn’t matter.

His sister does.

Sooner than later, illianna came strolling out deep-throating her water bottle.

Ariana beside her.

ilianna is only in her shorts and sports bra. Was there anything sexier?

I began to walk up to them, both of them not seeming to notice me.

Confidence took over me again when I placed my hand on illianna’s waist.

It’s not like Ariana will tell Zayn. Hopefully.

“What are you doing here?” illianna asked suspiciously with Ariana looking at me confused. “And why are you geared up?”

“I wanted to play Around the World.” I state. “Is there anyone on the field?”

“No. We’re done and there is no more practice for today.” illianna explains.

“Well then let’s go.” I say grabbing illianna’s hand and leading her to the field.

“We can’t go on the field!” she panics.

“It’s not like we’ll get in trouble for trespassing. And we won’t be long.” I assure her.

I stop though and turn around. I walk back towards Ariana who is staring at us surprised.

“If you could keep us between the three of us and not tell Zayn, I would appreciate it.” I whisper down to her.

“Are we going to back on the field?” Ariana asks.

“No. illianna and I are going on the field. You are leaving.” I tell her.

She catches my memo and nods her head at me.

“My lips are sealed.” Ariana whispers back. “Bye Lily!” she waves.

I turn back around and catch up with illianna.

She is dribbling the ball between her feet. She has good footwork. And a lot of energy.

We make it to the field and I line the ball on the penalty line.

I take one side of the field and illianna takes the other.

She knows the rules, and we are soon playing against each other.

She is one, tough competitor.

I score the first goal but she comes back with two of her own.

1-2.

We both have the same speed but she is more talented at her agility and knows how to keep the ball on her side.

I steal from her and make a pass.

2-2.

Best out of three wins.

I’ll give the victory to her though.

I will give her the victory, and I will give her my heart. She is what I want.

The ball is resting between my legs. I’m catching my breath. illianna is doing the same.

I run with the ball towards her, but slow down so that she catches up to me.

I run even slower and she quickly and easily, takes the ball away from me.

She runs with the ball towards her goal when the grey sky cracks thunder.

It doesn’t stop her.

I stop moving and watch her kick the ball into the goal.

She wins the game. 2-3.

Water droplets begin to fall from the sky.

illianna starts to run back to me.

The rain falls down harder.

illianna jumps on me again. She raises herself on my shoulders. I hold her up by her hips.

It’s pouring rain.

How cliché.

Showing love in the rain.

I guess we are supposed to be together.

illianna brings herself down and I stumble back. She pushes me back and I fall with her coming down on top of me.

Her eyes glister in the ugly setting.

We’re wet, sweaty, and laying in mud.

One of the benefits of a soccer girl, they can get down and dirty.

illianna looks at the color of my eyes. She lowers herself down to them. She transfers from my eyes to my lips. I hope she does it.

Sure enough, our lips are pressed together again. We are still in the same position.

The rain and thunder do not stop us. She stops herself.

illianna picks her head up. She stares at me. Then she gets off of me.

“I’m so sorry.” She blushes, hiding her face.

She turns away from me.

“Come back.” I whisper softly.

She looks back at me.

“I don’t know what came over me. That wasn’t supposed to happen.”

“No illianna. I liked it. I like you. I like everything about you.” I confess.

Her brown orbitals widen.

“You can’t.” she whispers.

“But I do. I want to be with you. You are everything I could ever want in a girl.” I continue.

“Why Louis?”

“You’re gorgeous. You’re beautiful. You inspire me. You are better than me in soccer! Please Lily. Hear me out. “I whine.

illianna stands up and runs away. But I can’t lose her.

I stand and run after her. She is mine and nobody else’s.

“illianna!” I shout. “I’m trying here.”

“This can’t happen Louis! It won’t work. I like you too. But Zayn will never approve of us.” She admits.

“Zayn will get over it Lily. Just please. Will you be mine?”

Tears fall from her eyes overpowering the rain drops. I didn’t mean to make her cry.

“You can’t say that. You don’t know. You don’t know what it’s like for me.” she cries.

“Then tell me Lily.”

“I can’t.” she sobs.

“Listen Lily, I know that you’re scared to admit your feelings, but you have to learn how to trust other men besides your brother. There are other guys who want to love you; you are just too blind to see it. And I would know, because I’m that guy.”

“Louis. Please.” She pleads.

“I know you’re scared.” I say stepping towards her. “But you are the one that I want.”

“You don’t know what you want!” illianna shakes her head.

“Neither do you! But you just can’t seem to notice that I might have something to offer to you. And you would never know because you never give any man a chance.” I snarl.

illianna begins to walk away.

I run after her again.

“Do you need to know the real reason why you’re scared?” I ask grabbing her by her elbow.

She looks at me unconditionally.

“It’s because you know that you want to be with me too. And you’re just too afraid to admit that.”

illianna’s crying becomes harder.

I pull her into my chest and hold her tightly.

She wraps her arms around me and I can feel the same feelings. The feelings she has for me.

“I’m sorry Louis.” she says.

“Shh, shh. Just let it all out.” I tell her.

She jumps on to my waist again. I grab ahold of hers to support her.

“I love you Louis.” she finally confesses.

I smile forms on my face.

“I love you too illianna.”
