Boring.
That was the rest of my weekend.
I recorded a few songs but nothing really "stood out as a hit" as Billie said.
He gave me an assignment over the weekend to really write. To write from the heart…or at least about something that would sell.
It was Friday night and I was lying down on my couch as usual. My notebook was laid out on the coffee table and a pen was preoccupying me. I just couldn't think. Just then my cell phone rang. I popped up and ran to my room where it was charging.
The caller ID read "Chloe". I answered.
"Yeah"
"What are you doing tonight?"
"Umm…I was attempting to write a song but that's not going so well, why?"
"Well, don't kill me for asking but could you come with me to a Puddlemere game tonight?"
I cringed.
"Umm, yeah sure. Why not?"
"Really?" She sounded oddly surprised.
"Yes. When are we going?"
"In an hour so go get ready now…and wear something classy"
I didn't even get to ask why before she hung up. I looked down at myself. PJ pants and a big t-shirt definitely weren't classy. I hopped in the bathroom and took a five minute shower. My long black hair was left wavy and down. My hanging earrings and some smoky eyes were always my classy look. I reached into my closet. Some cargo pants and a nice black halter top sounded right. I got quickly dressed and put my "lower" black stilettos on. As dressy as it might've sounded to someone, it actually came out looking perfect. I put my jean jacket over it and walked out of my bedroom. Chloe was already in my living room sitting on the recliner.
"Wow, who knew you cleaned up so well?"
"Ha-ha, very funny." I gave her a sarcastic look.
Chloe actually looked really pretty also. She had some black jeans, heels, and a v-neck red shirt on. I followed her out of the door and into my
car.
"So why did you finally agree to come along to a game with me?" She asked me as we sped around the corner of the stadium and into the parking lot. It was crowded and I saw little kids dressed like they were going to a baseball game.
"Why are we dressed like this?" I raised my voice. I thought she was trying to embarrass us.
Almost as if reading my mind she answered.
"Do you really think if I was out to embarrass you I would embarrass myself also?' She looked at me sarcastically. 'Honestly Jess, do you think sometimes?"
"Shut up', I nudged her as we walked to the sidewalk. 'Seriously, why are we so dressed up in comparison to these little tikes?"
"Well, Malfoy was supposed to be here for his annual company game but couldn't make it. So he gave me the tickets and told me to take you. I told him you wouldn't go but, he said 'ask anyway'. Who knew that for once in his life, he'd be right?"
"Still after 3 years together and Draco doesn't fail to surprise you." I smiled at her as we walked into the VIP section of the stadium.
Chloe flashed the guard her tickets and he let us in.
"Wow, just think Jess when you REALLY hit it big, it'll be like this everywhere we go."
"Oh yeah, can't wait cause then you'll be asking me to bring you everywhere" I made a sarcastic face. "Woohoo"
"Oh don't complain, you know you love me."
"Unfortunately."
We walked into this nice room that resembled a living room with a huge window. The window faced into the stadium. This was basically a skybox. I went and sat at the closest seat to the window and looked down to where the players were warming up. I saw Jake from the other day and for some reason wanted to say hi.
"Clo, want to come down to the pitch with me? I have a friend on the team I want to say hi to." I walked past her and out the door into the hallway.
She followed after me and caught the elevator doors before they closed.
"Whoa, who do you know on the team!" She asked curiously.
"This guy Jake. He has blond hair and greenish-hazel eyes."
"Jake Fredrick? The Captain? The totally gorgeous one?"
"Yeah that's him." I smiled.
"How in the hell did you meet him!"
"I came by here the other day with Christy for a little field trip and ran into him."
"How do you run into him and not…" She trailed off. I knew what she was thinking. How did I run into the captain of the team and not the keeper?
"I know, don't ask. I almost didn't make it out without seeing him."
See the thing was Chloe and I always knew who we were talking about without ever saying 'Oliver'. I guess it made it easier for me that way. We never officially made that notion, it just turned out that way.
"Seems like Malfoy isn't the only one surprising me these days" She said as if talking to herself. I asked her for the tickets and showed them to the guard at the pitch.
"Welcome Mrs. Malfoy", the guard smiled at me.
"Oh no…I'm not Draco's …"
"I'm Mrs. Malfoy" Chloe said from behind me.
"I was about to say, you look too beautiful to be at a game without your husband." I turned around sharply to see Jake standing there in his uniform. He was giving me this kind of smirk that put chills down my spine. In a good way.
"Hi" I said with a nervous smile.
"Hey, Jess right? Singer?" He asked me reaching out my hand for him to shake it. I nodded shaking his hand.
"Jake, Puddlemere Captain right?" I gave him a smirk right back. We locked eyes and stood there for a second.
"Ha-ha, right."
"I actually came down here to say hi to you. I had to leave last time in such a rush…"
"Yeah, kind of caught me off guard but it's alright, I honestly didn't think I would ever see you again"
"Yeah me either…" I trailed off. We were having our own little conversation when I totally forgot that Chloe was there.
She nudged me and I turned a little as if getting ready to leave.
"Well, umm I should probably get back to my seat…"
He nodded and I turned. I felt him reach for my shoulder.
"Hey, listen, the team and some associates are having this Puddlemere dinner after the game, would you and your friend like to join me?" He looked at me was eagerness. Before I could answer, somebody else did.
"We'll be there" Chloe answered.
"Great, just meet me outside in the parking lot after the game and I'll tell you the details." And with that, he turned and ran into the pitch.
I looked at Chloe as soon as Jake was out of sight.I smacked her on her arm.
"Why'd you say yes?" I whispered really loudly into her ear.
"It sounded good at the moment?" She gave me that innocent look and walked back toward the elevators.
I sighed and followed after her. Was I prepared for this? I think not. The whole Puddlemere team and I. It was inevitable, I couldn't escape. And that's what made a sick feeling come over me. I couldn't hide anymore. Great, just great.
