-Mia’s P.O.V-
The scores were now, my team with 16 and Ian’s with 18… we only had 5 more minutes on the clock, all we need is a touchdown and that would secure us 6 point!!
I gathered my team in a huddle.. we needed a good plan to win this!
“Ok guys, all we need is a touchdown, so here’s what we’re going to do…” I looked around the group, all eyes on me, all the eyes of hot, sweaty guys who have risked their body to protect mine! They respected me and it almost brought tears to my eyes.
They were covered in mud, blood and bruises… yet I didn’t have a scratch on me! “Ian so far hasn’t gone for me, and won’t because he doesn’t want to hurt me.. so we’re going to use that to our advantage! I’ll pass the ball back to Joe who will then fake pass it to Aaron who is going to run up the right side, where as I will run to the touchdown zone up the left and when I get far enough, Joe throw it to me! David, will you protect me?” I smiled to David, who gave we a charming smile,
“sure thing babe!” he winked and we all smiled and broke from the huddle.
We got into position one more time. I crouched down in front of Ian, who mirrored my action. I put the ball on the floor, between my legs then sharply inhaled…
“HUT HUT HUT!” We followed the plan down to the last detail… until I was running up the left side and I turned to see Ian right behind me!! SHIT!! I tried to run faster, but Ian picked up his pace more, closing the space between us.
David came charging towards Ian, but Ian just jumped over David's attempt to tackle him to the ground. The space between me and Ian got less and less, but I was so close to the line, just a little…
My thought was cut off by a great forced to my back, Ian tackled me!! Owwwwww!
I was still under Ian’s body, angry at first with the pain but then his warmth seeped into me and I was comforted for being in his embrace, healing the pain
The whole crowed gasped. I felt Ian Get up and sit next to me and said nothing…
WHY? WHAT? Had we won? Lost?
I lifted my head to see where I had landed… slowly, more and more light entered my vision until I had the ball in my sight… I… Chapter 12- Winner?
My eyes adjusted to the light and I focused on the position of the ball… I couldn’t speak… no way…
I stood looking around in shock… no…
“WE WONNNNNN!” Ian shouted… I had lost.. NO!!!
Everyone ran over to Ian and lifted him in the air, celebrating his victory. Once his feet were back on the ground he came over to me. I was still frozen in shock… I couldn’t believe it, we were so close to the line!!
My eyes were glued to the floor, but I could still feel Ian walk up to me and stand in front of me. I slowly lifted my head… not wanting to see Ian’s face while I felt this ashamed! Our eyes finally met, and as I looked into his captivating hazel eyes I didn’t see cockiness, nor did I see that he was bragging… instead I saw reassurance but mostly, lust!
He lifted his hands to my cheeks, sending pleasurable sparks through my body and he looked even deeper into my eyes. He leaned closer to my face until there was just a little space between us,
“So now your my girlfriend… hum.. that has a nice ring to it” before I could respond he yanked me to him and covered my mouth with his in a hungry kiss. I responded immediately, surprising myself. His mouth was so warm, the caress of his lips, softer than I could have imagined. He tasted tentatively with his tongue, and I opened my mouth with a low moan.
I lifted my hands to the back of his head, fisting some of his soft hair and trying to push him closer to me…
*cough*
We broke apart, both breathing heavily and I turned swiftly around, Ian’s arms now around my waist, keeping me close to his body. When we turned we saw everyone staring at us, some blushing but all had big smiles on their face!
“Do you want us to leave?” David said jokingly as he pointed in the direction of the gates.
“Yes.. if you wouldn’t mind!” Ian said laughing and rested his head on my shoulder. But I pulled away,
“oi, no guys you don’t have to go! come on” Heat rushed to me cheeks with embarrassment and I pushed away from Ian, slapping him on the arm before rushing back into the house.
Everyone eventually followed me back into the house and we all gathered in to watch T.V but this time.. something we all agreed to watch so that we didn’t argue again! I sat on Ian’s lap, snuggled into his chest, into his warm embrace as he wrapped his protective arms around my body…
Ian was so comfortable, protective, sexy and MINE! My boyfriend! AHHH! maybe I didn't loose...
***
Ian dropped me off at Sam’s house again, still thinking that it was mine. It pains me to keep lying to Ian, even more so now that we’re getting closer but I had to… I was scared in case he would leave me because I’m poor, and now I’m scared that he will leave because I’m lying to him! ughhhh! Why wasn’t I honest from the start!!
I waved goodbye as Ian drove off and then I made the long walk back to my house.
As I got closer to my house, I noticed the kitchen light on… my mum was home!! I was now running as fast as I could to see her. I burst into the kitchen, breathing heavily and smiling, ready to hug my mum.
Instead of being squeezed in one of my mother’s famous tight hugs, she staid sitting on the small dining table at the far side of our small kitchen. She lifted her head from her hands… it was obvious now that she had been crying,
“oh mum, what’s wrong?” I rushed to my mums side, rubbing her arm to try and comfort her. I know it should be her comforting me, but I am stronger than my mum and I am always the one to comfort her… I’ve had to do it more so in the current situation we’ve been in! we’ve always been poor.. its just, times are tough…
“its nothing dear..” she patted my hand “…just these stupid bills!”
“but I thought that your two cleaning jobs covered the bills…”
“I.. I was fired from one of my jobs…” It was barely audible as my mum whispered her excuse..
“what!?! When? Why?” I was now standing and looking down at my mum, her head swung in shame over not being able to support me. I felt sorry for her, but most times I had to stand up to her like this so she can be more motivated!
“about two weeks ag…” She couldn't even finish her sentence before I cut in with anger,
“TWO WEEKS!” that’s longer than I expected!! No wonder there have been power cuts!
“I’m so sorry, love…” Tears escaped my mum’s eyes and I sat next to her once more to comfort her,
“Its ok mum.. I just wish you had told me sooner! I’ll look for a job in the morning so that we have more money for the house, you just focus on getting another job!” I hugged her and rubbed her arm… wow, I actually was the mother in this family!
***
Next morning I sat crossed legged on my bed looking through the newspapers for a job available for a 17 year old…
Babysitter.. no, doesn’t pay enough, Cleaner…. Bad hours, Waitress.. hum… it had good hours, after school every day and has a good pay, I’ll take it!!
I rang the number provided and arranged for an interview, but they said to just swing by! Oh great.. I can already tell it’s not the ‘cleanest’ of Café’s meaning its going to be full of thugs… but what did I expect living in an area like mine!
When I arrived at the café, I was right about its appearance! It was a little café just off the main road, a little run down and in major need of re-painting.. but the customers were surprisingly nice, well most of them were! and the staff, Sue and Alex the other two waitresses were so kind and helpful!
I could see I was going to enjoy spending all my free time with them, even though I would miss spending it with Ian...

Monday came too quickly! I was starting to hate walking down these same halls everyday.. and the only thing getting me through the day was… my boyfriend!!
Wow it just rolls off my tongue. MY boyfriend.. Ian is mine!
I walked into the lunch hall, my favourite part of the day, being able to eat!! My stomach growled from the lack of food I haven’t been eating! With working in a diner I get a free meal, so to save money I haven’t been eating at all during the day… ITS KILLING ME!!
I sat at the already filled table and fell into usual seat. Sam gave me a sympathetic look as I had phoned her after work last night and informed her about my stupid mother… I know she wanted to help us, and she had offered us money, but I cannot and will not take money off anyone! Me and my mum can provide for ourselves!.. kind of...
Noticing my stubbornness she giggled and pushed her untouched plate over to me! I smiled widely and clapped my hand… now that’s what friends are for!!
I had just put a large spoonful of spaghetti into my mouth when Ian chose that time to talk to me! He leaned in so that his lips brushed my ear, sending a shiver down my spine. I swallowed the food and bit my lip to try and keep back the lust I feel for this man!
“How about you
