Chapter 6

Jude's POV

It's 3 o'clock, now it's time for lunch. Thank goodness because I'm starving, so I decide to head out for lunch. I send Lionel a text "Hey, do you want to go out for lunch? I'm outside if you do." and I walk outside.

I get a reply saying "No hun, I'd loved to but I have to finish this paperwork. See you later though."

I text "No problem and see you." after I press send, I jump in my car and head out.

Zero's POV

So thank "God" that's over. I hate doing conferences, they ask so many questions. I don't like talking about myself, added to that. I'm starving. So thank god it's lunch time.

As I'm heading to the cafeteria of the arena, I find the last person I want to even look at. I find Lucas talking to Gabe.

I try to ignore him and walk away, but that's not gonna happen. Now will it.

Gabe sees me and waves, I wave back with a smile. My smile drops when Lucas turns around. He waves to, but I do nothing.

I don't wave or smile back, Lucas asks me to wait a minute. So I do, 'Not that I like him or anything, I just don't want anyone seeing me as the bad guy.'

Lucas turns his back at me for a second to ask Gabe a question, "So as I was saying, do you know where Jude is? We have something to talk about."

'Is he serious? Does he know? Did Jude tell him about us? What's happening?'

Gabe answers him with, "Yeah he went out for lunch. Anyways if you need anything else then let me know. See you later Zero."

"See you later Gabe." this Gabe kid is awesome, love how he didn't even say goodbye to Lucas. That's hilarious.

Lucas turns around and looks at me and smiles, 'Oh how I want to punch that smile off his face.' "Hi Zero, so how was practice and the conference?"

"What do you want? Cut to the chase."

"Okay, fine. I wanted to ask you a personal question about Jude."

"Why? What do you want from him?"

"I wanted to ask you about, what are things he likes or he wants. Since you're his client and his friend, I'm guessing?"

"Why do you want to know that?"

"Well I'm pretty sure you know we had a date, and it didn't go so well because of some stupid waiter. So yeah."

'No wonder, he doesn't like you now. You were probably a douche.'

"Well how about I tell you something that benefits everyone. Jude won't like you anymore because of the waiter thing, so how about you go somewhere really far and disappear because no one wants you here. Especially Jude and I, so how about you back off and leave, and let us be happy. Okay."

I end with that and walk away, I hope he gets it because this is annoying! Because of this I just got this spark of motivation in me to do something, that's not so Zero.

Jude's POV

It's when I'm sitting and enjoying my lunch, I get a text. I check it, it's from Lionel so I open it. "You have no idea what I just witnessed!"

Instead of texting back I just call her. She picks up on the first beep, "Hello Lionel, what happened?"

"Oh my god! You'd wish that you were here and you heard what I heard, I told you that stupid date was a good idea."

"Why? What happened?"

"Zero, basically just told Lucas to get lost and leave you and him to be happy, although he didn't go into details."

"Okay and how do you know all this?"

"Who cares how, oh and you should've seen how pissed Zero looked."

"I care."

"okay fine, oh was heading to the cafeteria but they were both there talking. Plus you are missing the whole point."

"No I'm not, I'm ecstatic to hear this, but you shouldn't be working as my spy on what Zero is doing. Plus it's Zero, so no matter how much he says to people. He will never say anything to my face. Do bye, stop spying on them and let me eat."

I hang up, I try to continue eating. But I can't help the feelings that came upon me. All I can think about is, 'What is he thinking? What is he trying to do? Is he trying to ruin his career? What if people find out? What will happen to his career?'

Okay seriously I need to stop, I need to finish eating and head back.

It takes me about 15 minutes to get back and run to my office. I finally sit in my chair and that's when I check the time. 'Sh*t!' the game starts in an hour in a half. I hope that the team is already at the pre-practice.

I make the choice of just staying in my office and finishing some paper work. I decided that I'll just go straight to the game, they already have German and Pete. They don't need another pair of eyes.

Zero's POV

Finally, talking to Lucas just pisses me off. He thinks that he can actually have My Jude I mean my agent Jude. Whatever.

As I'm walking away from Lucas, I keep telling that Lucas cannot have Jude, he won't have him. Not if there is something I can do about it. That's the only thought I have, I bomb into something or someone. That took me away from the thought, I slowly look up. It's Lionel.

"Oh I'm so sorry Mrs. Kinxade, I was so into my thoughts. I'm so sorry...I should probably go. I'm sorry again." I start to walk away. But there is a strong hold on my arm.

"Wait...I need to talk to you about something." As I hear her say that, I walk backwards to where I was.

"Yes, Mrs. Kincade. How may I help you in anyway."

"Oh please, call me Lionel. We're basically family." Wait, what? What on earth does she mean by that.

"Um, what do you mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean. Anyways, first I forgive you and don't worry...Second, I need to talk to you about your agent. Not here though come to my office. You can come now if you're not busy"

"Yeah, okay. I'll be there, just let me clean up first."

"Okay, well see you in about 10 minutes."

"See you." I panic, what is happening. What does she mean about us being family. Does she know.

I run to the locker room, cleaned up as fast as I could. Changed, checked myself in the mirror then speed walked to her office.

I look around, the secretary is not there. So I just walk to the office door and knock.

The door opens instantly, like she was waiting behind it. "Come in" she says and pulls me in.

"So what did you want to talk about?"

"You obviously...And Your attitude, of course."

Does she know, I act lol keep what she said doesn't effect me. "What about it?"

"Oh I don't know, maybe you shouldn't talk to Lucas that way." What? What does she mean...Is she the one that set up Jude with that Fu-Lucas.

"Why does it matter?"

"It matters because you don't want people think that you're the reason that he'll be gone next week."

"What?" Oh my god, that makes me so happy. "How come?"

"You know exactly why, and I know you're happy so act like it...I know everything."

I break a smile, "What do you mean."

"Oh my God! Uh...Would you stop, I know everything. I know that you and Jude had a thing going on 3-4 months ago. I know that something happened and you guys are both miserable. I know that you both want to go back to whatever that was but you don't have the guts to. And don't worry, Jude wasn't the one that told me. I had to figure it on my own...Oh and I know your real name is not Zero, I mean come on who names their son Zero."

"Uh, uh...Okay."

"Oh and I'm Jude's step mother, so stop hurting both yourself and him. Please and thank you."

"Oh yeah, I was actually planning on telling him today. We'll talk about it."

"Good, make my step son happy and ignore Lucas...He'll be gone in no time. Okay?"

"Oh and stop making it obvious for people to guess. You're lucky I'm the one that caught you today."

"Thanks, but u don't really care who finds out after today." I check the time, I have 30 minutes to get ready for the game. "Sorry to act like a douche, but I gotta go. Thank you for taking care of this, and both me and Jude. See you after the game."

"See you and just so you know. I'll always be there for Jude, he needs someone after all the people that have let him down."

"I know, Sorry."

"No worries, but let me tell you. If you're planning to fix whatever that's going on between you. Fix it, and just don't let him down again."

"I'll do my very best, again thanks and see ya."

"See you at the game. Good luck."

During the Game

Jude's POV

Since my da- I mean Oscar is in jail, thankfully. I'm the one that has been sitting beside Lionel during the games. The front row seats.

When the game started I focused on the game, and mostly Zero. Today I was more focused because of all the texts that were exchanged between us. I'm being hopeful.

He's so focused on the game which is an amazing thing, although he keeps looking my way. So whenever he's looking, I respond with a smile and a nod.

I don't know why but today has been a great day. So far, I don't want to jinx anything.

Whenever Zero is looking my way, he's looking straight at me. This time, after he scores he first looks at me then his eyes look above me and his face tensed up.

That's when I feel a tap on my shoulder, I already guessed who it is. I look up to make sure anyways, it's Lucas.

He's all smiles, but all I do is ask. "What do you wants now?"

"Uh, I just saw you and said that I should say hello."

Then I look at Lionel, she sees that I'm annoyed so she takes over. "Look Lucas, you can say your hellos and go...Okay."

"Uh, I guess. Okay."

"Don't guess...Oh and by the way come to my office later. I need to talk to you about your new job. Promotion, whatever you want to call it to make yourself feel better. Okay, understand? Good...See you later."

He actually listens, he first stands awkwardly then walks away. He doesn't even say his hellos.

I smile, I am so lucky to have Lionel. I went from having nobody to having one of the best people standing by my side.

I look at her, smile and say "Thank you."

She replys with a nod, holds my hand and smiles.

I want to ask her about why she wants to talk to him, but as long as he won't be here anymore. I don't really care. So I go back to focusing on the game.

Zero's POV

The game just started, I look around and I see Jude and Lionel walking to their chairs. I look directly at them, Jude is more focused on getting to the chair, while Lionel looks at me and we share a smile.

I hope this day goes well, because it's been a long but good day.

During the game, whenever I'm scoring or doing anything. I keep on taking glimpses of Jude. He's so focused, I hope he's proud of all I did or I am planning to do today.

We keep on sharing smiles, until I see him. Lucas walking towards Jude. I turn tense, all I want to do is go there and put him in his place. But I have to focus on the game.

As I'm focused on the game, I use all that tension to my advantage. So I score then I give Derek an assist. When I turn around to see Jude, all I see is him smiling and clapping. Lionel is the one talking to Lucas and she doesn't even look like she's talking. She looks like she's yelling at him.

This gives me confidence, it encourages me to win this game. Then maybe win my man. This is the day, Jude and I are human, we deserve to be happy.

The game is almost over, there is only 3 minutes left. The score looks good, it's 116 to 105. So we'll most likely win this game.

The time keeps decreasing and all I'm thinking about is what I'm gonna do after the game. I'm confident about this.

The game is over, the final bell rang. People come to congratulate me for the big come back, after all that happened with Jelena and Asha. I say my thank yous.

I excuse myself from the press, I look around and I see Jude and Lionel walking out and Lucas is waiting by the door. I don't know why he is, but all I know is jealousy hits. I call for "JUDE!"

All I know is by the time he turns around, I'm already there beside him. So all I do is hold his face and smash our lips together.

First the whole arena is silent, they're probably shocked. Who am I kidding, Probably more like most definitely.

Then the crowd goes wild yelling, cheering, snapping pictures or videos. Whatever, I was to caught up in the moment."

Jude's POV

What on earth just happened. One second, I'm walking Lionel out of the arena and the next I am being kissed by my client and thousands of people are cheering us on. What?

Have I said that my life is absolutely complicated, and twisted, and good, and amazing, and I'm out of ideas or emotions.

So when we pull back all we do is stare at each other and we listen to the crowd cheering, not booing but cheering. My life has finally been driven off the edge. This is amazing. So all I do is look at Zero and smile, because that's all I'm capable of doing at the moment.
