Flora sobbed as the buzzer sounded, signalling the final quarter of the match. Magix High 98, Cloud Tower High 99. She went over to the bench while the other members of the team headed to the locker room to change.
The brunette was heartbroken. She put everything she had into this match. Now she felt like no school would ever recruit her.
Looking up Flora saw as Helia got up and left the building. It broke her heart even more as she wanted him by her side to comfort her.
Aisha and Musa came over to sit beside the female.
Aisha wore a purple mini skirt with a black blouse and purple wedge heel shoes.
"Flora!" Aisha softly said as she hugged her younger sister. "Everything will be okay."
"How?" Flora cried. "School is almost over and no school has recruited me as yet. Worse the team lost the game. If I had done better the team could have won."
"This is a team sport." Musa told her. "It's one for all and one for all."
Aisha remembered something that would make the female feel better. "Flora, I have a surprise for you. There is this really cute guy at my school that would love to go with you to the prom. When I was showing Nabu and some friends a picture of us, Thoren saw and took a liking to you. If you like, he is willing to be your date."
Aisha took out her phone and showed Flora a picture of Thoren.
Flora whispered. "He looks cute."
Musa looked at the picture. "He is cute. I would say yes to that date."
Flora managed to smile despite her heartache.
'He is not as handsome as Helia. Maybe it is the push I need to end this one sided thing I have with Helia.' Flora thought.
In her bedroom, Flora came out of the bathroom wearing only a short pink towel.
Looking at her bedroom she saw Helia lying on the bed in his birthday suit.
She must have left the window open. Either that or he used the key she had given him years ago just in case of emergencies.
Helia smirked, seeing her. Flora could tell he was eager based on seeing his rather larger than the average member was standing at attention.
Flora asked. "I thought you would be getting ready for your match tomorrow. I heard the headmaster is ending school early to prepare to celebrate the team reaching the final and help lift the team's spirit so you guys can win."
"Well everyone has their method of preparing for a match. My way is getting pleasure from you." Helia smirked. "This is also my way of consoling you after what happened tonight. I knew you needed some time to cool off before talking to anyone."
He was right. When Flora was upset she didn't want to talk to anyone for a while and needed time to cool off.
Flora removed the towel to reveal her slender figure.
She walked over to the bed before she and Helia made love.
As Flora and Helia collapsed onto the bed, the male dragged the brunette closer to him before wrapping his arms around her waist.
Helia stroke the brunette's back with one of his fingers and asked. "Any plans for the prom?"
"Original plan was to go with Musa and Riven but Aisha said one of her college friends saw a picture of me and thought I looked cute." Flora mentioned. "She is making arrangements for him to be my date for the prom."
"What?" Helia almost hissed.
"What's the matter, Helia?" Flora asked, wondering why he sounded so upset.
"It's nothing." Helia stopped stroking Flora's back. "I just never thought you would have gotten a date."
"Am I that undesirable?" Flora sat up, looking the male. "Am I so unattractive that no one is willing to go out with me. No one could possibly love me. Not even you."
"What are you talking about, Flora?" Helia wondered, placing his hands behind his head.
"No guy at school has even tried to hit on me. I have never had a boyfriend." Flora informed him. "You are the only person I have ever kissed or made love to but only seen as your sex toy. I am just a way to pleasure you."
"Don't say such things."Helia almost yelled. "You are more to me than a toy or a play thing. I thought you would have seen it. I thought you would have known by now."
"Seen what?" Flora wondered.
"That none of those guys at school deserves you. They are not good enough for you, Flower." Helia looked away from her. "I am the only one good enough for you."
Something came to her. Flora questioned. "Did you scare the guys at school in order for them to not ask me out?"
Helia bit his lower lip, not wanting to lie. He also didn't want to reveal what he had really done.
Flora continued. "Helia! I know you well enough to. How could you do that to me? Didn't you want to see me happy? I have seen you flirt with girls all throughout high school and it broke my heart. It broke my heart to see the only guy I have ever loved and been with not want me as more than a play thing while he goes around flirting with other girls."
"It was for your own good." Helia confessed. "No one there is good enough for you apart from me. Besides I never flirted with anyone else apart from you, Flora. All those other girls I talk to them with not a hint of romantic feelings or attraction towards them."
"Then why aren't you with me instead of scaring away those other guys and only look to me as your toy for pleasure?" Flora cried. This pained her more than losing the game earlier. "Am I not good enough to be girlfriend material?"
"You are more than good enough." Helia reassured her. "But..."
"But what?" Flora felt as Helia used his thumbs to remove her tears.
"But..." Helia hesitantly said. He was afraid to cross the line drawn so many years ago. He loved her more than words alone can describe. Flora has been the only person to ever have his heart. She has been the only person he has ever kissed or slept with. Yes, they have had a friends with benefits relationship but they never discuss anything beyond that even though he wanted to. He wanted to have Flora as his girlfriend but was afraid that she didn't want to cross that line.
"Helia, you now know I am in love with you." Flora whispered as she stopped crying. "If all you want from me is just sex then so be it. Just don't scare away other guys. For years I thought I was this ugly thing that no one at school was ever interested in. To know now that you were the reason for that... It now gives me hope that one day I can move on from this one sided love story and find a guy that will love me for me."
Helia gently kissed Flora's lips for a moment. Once they parted, he said almost breathless. "I am sorry for ever making you feel like that. You are the most beautiful and caring being I have ever come across. Flower, you are a goddess in my eyes and don't let anyone allow you to feel like you are less than that. Not even me. Also don't ever say you love someone else apart from me. I won't allow it. I can't manage it if you do. I am in love with you Flora Linphea. You are the only one I have ever loved and been with and I can't manage the thought of you even loving and being with someone else apart from me. I was just afraid you wouldn't want more than the relationship we had established already."
"Then prove it." Flora told him. "Because I want us to be more than what we are now. I want to be your girl, Helia."
Helia captured her lips with his. As he hugged her waist, Flora felt something different. It was filled with love, desperation and fear. He was desperate to prove that he loved her more than words alone can say. He feared losing her and seeing her in the arms of someone else, doing things she has only ever done with him.
Flora placed her arms around his neck as the kiss became more erotic.
Resting on the bed once more, the two made love once more.
