Los Angeles, USA
16th January, 2017.

He watched in awe of himself as his team,the whole crowd and the cheer leading team went bonkers when he scored the last penalty goal before the end game whistle went blew off.
Before even he was aware of it,he was on the shoulders of two of his team members.
Victory surely is intoxicating,he thought to himself.

"Richard! Hey Rich!!".
He didn't see her yet but he'd recognise that voice even in hell. He made to get off the shoulders to his mates to meet the owner of the singsong voice.
" Maria! " he mouthed and smiled when he spotted her.
She practically threw herself at him. "I told you Rich! I knew we'd beat the Eastern wolves", she said amidst gasps of breath and laughter.
" Yeah,you sure did ". He said laughing throatily.
Her legs were wrapped around his waist and he brushed a few straying strands from her blond ponytail off her face.

"It'd be better if you stop saying ' we ' though. He had a teasing smile on his face. " You weren't on the pitch babe".

She burst out laughing heartily. They've gone through this same routine each time the Westview's Porcupines win against another team in soccer. "Yeah right! I wasn't on the team alright,but I know for sure you woulda lost that penalty if I wasn't screaming on top of my voice cheering your name".

He held her nose between his thumb and forefinger for a second. " True enough. Your nightingale voice was in my head cheering me to victory".

"Uh uh... Maria's the only muse you need".

His mouth closed down on hers then and she let her fingers work through his mass of thick black hair.

" Now,how's that for 'thank you' to my muse?" He said ,breaking the kiss against her reluctance.
