There was no doubt in anyone's mind at Liberty High that the Tiger's wouldn't win. The amount of time and energy our boys put into practice, they deserved to win.
After the event with Dean and the girls, I wasn't going to allow him to ruin my night for Monty. Tonight, was about the boys, and obviously the party afterwards. The party was at Bryce's as usual, since he was the captain, and because he had the largest house, and we could use his little house to party in.
Sitting beside Clara, munching on my delicious hot dog, I looked at the timer on the large board which counted down the minutes, and displayed the scores of the game. Tiger's versus Eagles. 15 to 7.
"So, has Monty asked you to Spring Fling and Prom?" Clara asked me. Which stunned me, mainly because he hadn't asked me.
"Err…no he hasn't" I told her "I think maybe he assumes he is going with me, but it would be nice to be asked…or am I asking for too much?" I asked her. I didn't want to be too spoilt in wanting to be asked to two dances this year.
"No. It's usually the duty as the boyfriend to ask, like how he would ask you to marry him" Clara spoke, before I nearly choked on the remaining pieces of my hot dog.
"Come again?" I asked her frowning.
"Jesus, don't die on me now" she smirked. "I was just using it as an example" She explained. "It's usually tradition for the male to ask the woman the big question, and no, Monty is not planning to ask to marry you. He knows your plan"
"My plan? I have a plan?" I asked her frowning, wiping the sauce from my mouth.
"Yes, you would like to have your own place and a secure job before marriage, but you are up for a long time engagement, but you aren't certain about those, because anything could happen…I know more about your future than my own" she laughed, sipping on her cola.
"Well I am sorry I want to be traditional" I told her "I don't know, I just want to graduate from high school, focus on college, get a job, get my own place, settle down, and then marriage and kids come into it. I don't want to jump the boat too quick, because I don't want to sink"
"Nice pun" Clara smirked. "I get it. You don't want to rush only to crash and burn. And I doubt Monty is in any rush to get married, I think from the look of him, he wants to enjoy every moment he has with you" she smiled softly.
I couldn't help but admire Monty on the field. Our eyes caught each other's for such a tiny glimpse, but the smile spreading across his face, I knew one thing. I was madly and deeply in love with him.
"That I can agree on, he is desperate to move out" I added "So I was trying to think…when we are in college, maybe we can get an apartment together, see how it works out, if it doesn't either because it's too early, or because we aren't suited, then I am up for a challenge" I told her "But I might do it in the second year, I think it's still a little early for us to move in, it would be only our one year anniversary together, like I said, I don't want to jump the boat" I explained.
"I'm sure Monty would be up to go anywhere with you, the way he talks about his future, he is really desperate to move out". I guess the vibe Monty is giving out, is getting noticed by others.
"He is having…family troubles, so he wants to move out as soon as possible, and I honestly don't blame him"
"Family troubles?" she asked enquiring.
"It's something Monty keeps to himself, so I won't say anything until he tells people himself" I assured her. "He will be okay, just got to survive until Summer break"
"You know mum won't mind if he stayed, if troubles are really bad at home, she wouldn't mind offering him a bed" Clara pointed out.
My mum, was a star, she would do anything for family and friends. And if she knew Monty's father was abusive, there was no doubt she would drag Monty out of his house and into ours for the time being.
"I know, but I don't think Monty wants to feel like…charity…he wants to work it out for himself" I told her "Anyway, this just got depressing, let's focus on the game and not to free our nipples off".
"And I thought it was just my nipples" she sighed.
"You are the one who offered" I pointed out.
"I know…and I am glad I did, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to punch him…think mum is going to ground me?" she asked.
"No, she won't. She probably won't be impressed with violence, but it was for a good cause" I smirked, before Jessica and Chloe returned from the bathrooms.
"We just walked past Dean and his bitches, think he has a broken nose" Jessica giggled sitting below both Clara and I, Chloe sitting beside her.
"Thank, my sister for that" I smirked.
"Shit! Really?" Chloe asked surprised.
"No body messes with a Cabello…maybe you should tell Monty that as well, so he doesn't break your heart and I don't have to rip his balls off" Clara commented before laughing.
"I'm sure Lexi would like his balls to be intact" Jessica commented, earning her a small push from my feet.
"Shut up you!" I told her, before the whistle blew from coach, half time.
The boys abandoned their posts, before going over to the table to down a cup of water. They then left the table and headed to the bleachers, joining us. Monty parking his fine arse beside mine.
"Hello, gorgeous" He smiled, placing his lips against mine.
"Ew, you are all sweaty de la Cruz" I cringed pushing him away playfully.
"I thought you like me like that?" he asked winking. "And I believe your good luck charm is working" he grinned.
"What good luck charm was that?" Clara asked raising her eyebrow.
"Oh, the best good luck charm, involving her mouth- "
"And his mouth! Just a good luck kiss" I smiled elbowing Monty in the ribs "No more good luck charms for you" I scolded him. He pouted in response.
"Guys we just got to last for the remaining 45 minutes and we have won" Justin perked up.
"I think it's a great way to start the year" Jeff grinned, proud of himself.
"If you think about it, a couple more games, and that's it for the Tiger's" Bryce added, looking sad.
"But then you get to look forward to your next project, college" I added "So you can continue doing what you want to do, are you planning to do sports or go into something a bit more…"
"A bit more what?" Bryce asked.
"I don't know…business, you seem like a business kind of guy, maybe both" I suggested.
"Hmm, maybe" he nodded. "What are you planning to do after school?" Bryce asked me. How kind.
"My girl wants to go into fashion business" Monty grinned proudly.
"As much as I love fashion, I want to attend the Art Institute in Sacramento. To do fashion merchandising and retail buying"
"Are you hoping to work with your mum in her store?" Chloe asked.
"Yes, I've told her, I want to work with her in the store, but I need to work myself up. So, I will do college part time, and the days I have off, I'll be working in the store, then one day, I'll be hopefully working in the same office building as her" I was determined to follow my dreams.
"You have your life sorted out, good for you" Chloe grinned. "What about you Monty?"
"Sports, obviously, not sure where, but I would like it close to home, mainly close to Lexi" he mumbled. "I don't think I could leave California and leave her behind"
"Monty, you need to follow your dreams, create a future for yourself" I told him.
"You are part of my future, Lexi, no doubt about that" He smiled looking at me. God was he trying to make me cry, my heart explodes or my panties wet?
"Monty just got all sentimental, that's a first" Justin teased, laughing with the boys.
"As long as my boy is happy, I'm happy for him" Bryce smiled, before Monty and him did some sort of hand shake. Suddenly the whistle blew again, the boys racing off like grey hounds. Monty stayed and looked at me.
"I'm serious Lexi…you're the first girl I've ever actually loved, and I don't want that feeling to end, you are my future" he smiled kissing him deeply, before departing for the remainder of the game.
"Wow" Clara spoke out.
"What?" I asked.
"What happened to bad boy Montgomery de la Cruz?" She asked. I admired Monty on the field, getting into position and putting his helmet on.
"I guess, he fell in love" I whispered, shaking my head. "Things went from depressing to sentimental, what happened to fun?" I asked laughing, before paying attention to the game.
The final whistle blew, the score board announced the winners in bold letters; WINNERS! TIGERS! WINNERS!
The boys did the school and themselves proud. Grabbing my bag and rubbish, I headed down the bleachers and threw my rubbish in the bin, before Monty rushed up towards me, wrapping his arms around me, spinning me around, I giggled in response.
"You baby are amazing" he grinned putting me down, placing a heated kiss on my lips. I managed to pull away to breath.
"Why am I amazing?" I asked frowning.
"Your good luck charm worked, again" He grinned.
"Me giving you a blow job before a game is not a good luck charm, it's…just a good luck" I added.
"Well it's a charm to me, and it worked" he grinned kissing me again.
"Mhmm, let's get going to Bryce's, I need a shower, and you are joining me gorgeous" he smirked, taking my hand, and following the gang towards the car park.
