With my nerves shooting through the roof, I bite my lip in anticipation waiting for him to reach the other end.

And before I know it, he scores the final touchdown making his team win. Screams erupt all around making my heart leap with joy. He did it. He finally did it after a long game.

Taking a long breath, I pick my stuff up from the benches and walk out towards the back where Kayden will be coming out from. He had been preparing for this day for weeks and now looking at his win, I couldn't be more happy for him.

Adoring a massive smile on my face, I watch as everyone starts to rush but I notice few girls lingering back. I don't pay mind as they may be doing anything and I don't care anyway.

Then finally, Kayden walks out looking as good as ever. His dark hair wet from the shower and his blue eyes twinkling under the bright sky. I know he is ecstatic about his win.

Just as I am about to take a step, he is instantly surrounded by that same group of girls. I don't let it bother me until his eyes don't even bother to look up at due to the attention he is receiving.

Giving them smiles. Not once, looking up wondering if I am here.

Swallowing down the lump that has formed in my throat, I try to keep myself at bay not wanting to appear sad.

It's fine. He won. He obviously will get attention like this.

It's fine.

But deep down, I know it isn't. I always have been slightly insecure so this kind of felt like a jab to my heart.

Kayden isn't my boyfriend but he means so much more to me. He means way more to me, and putting a label on him won't do justice.

Maybe I should just be happy for him.

So getting some courage, I take a deep breath and turn around.

Walking, each step feels like a burden to me. Why?

But before I can take another one, a hand on my shoulder turns me around.

"What-"

"You were leaving without me?" I am met with the same blue eyes that I secretly fell in love with. The same smile that made many of my bad days turn better.

"No. I was-"

"You didn't think that I forgot you right? You know you mean more to me than all of this right?" My eyes water slightly when he says that.

He always somehow knows what to say to me. It's like he just knows when I am feeling like this and just says...the right things.

"Of course not," I laugh through the tears.

He wipes them making me look up at him.

"I was hoping for a gift after this impressive win," he asks.

"Oh?" I lift my eyebrows playfully.

"Yes. And I hope you don't refuse the quarterback that has just won. Or your best friend," of course he will use his title as my best friend to blackmail me.

But something flashes across his yes when he mentions the word 'best friend'. It's kind of like a reminder that I may not be able to have him as anything more.

Maybe my liking is one sided.

Shaking those thoughts away, I nod at him to continue.

"I want many more games like this when I win and I come see you. Right after each one of them. But that won't be possible if we stay like this," I frown.

What is he saying?

"So," he takes a deep breath, closing his eyes for a moment before opening them back up.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" The question shuts my brain off.

Me? He wants me to be his girlfriend? Despite having the option having any of these beautiful girls?

"Now like I said, you can't deny-"

"Yes Kayden," I breath out ending his rant.

I don't get to see his smile for long before his lips are on mine.

A gasp leaves me before I kiss him back. Pulling him closer, telling him I am right here. Along with assuring myself that this is true.

He asked me to be his girlfriend, and if it couldn't get any better, it starts to rain.

Once we part, I look up at him to see him grinning down at me.

"Remember how you always wanted to kiss in the rain?" He says and you nod.

"Well I just made your wish come true," I laugh shoving him playfully.

"Shut up,"

"Call me a genie-"

"Shut up," I whine making him laugh. It's a thing I used to say as a child to him whenever it used to rain. And I told him that I would only kiss someone under the rain if they were the right person.

I guess he was there all along. I just didn't realise.
