Hacking The Relationship Code

Chapter 19: Let's go Blue!

Adrian's game was scheduled for tomorrow evening. He had already bought tickets for the five of us. He was ecstatic to have me watch his game for the first time. He had insisted I wear his old jersey to the game. Cliché, I know. However, I was happy to oblige and show him how proud I was of my boyfriend. It was a red, Chevrolet Manchester United jersey with 'BECKHAM' and the number '7' printed on the backside signifying his favorite footballer and also his surname now. Adrian went with the number 7 after him.

It was loose and flowed long enough to cover my knees. I decided to wear an inner under it and tangle a knot out of it which would rest slightly above my waist. I pulled on my joggers below the jersey to complete the look and accessoried it with the sunflower pendant Adrian had gifted me and let my hair loose. I knew the pendant wasn't going with my attire but it made me feel close to him. I was so excited for his match. I knew how important it was for him so I had called him in the morning to wish him luck.

"Best of Luck Adrian. Go and rock it."

"Thank you Ginna, but I am really nervous and so afraid, I might jinx it."

"Come on Adrian, just relax for a while. Let's do one thing. Don't think of it as this big game you got to win. Think of it as a normal game you will be playing against your friends at the turf. You have already done well in all the previous games. Let this one be no different. And Adrian, I can't wait to see you in that jersey. I mean that day after your practice when you were all sweaty, I swear that's the hottest you've ever looked."

"Really? you found me sexy in those shorts and jersey?"

"Yes, very much. Although I don't like the fact that every other girl is going to be ogling at you in that field."

"Maybe I could give you a private show after the game, what say?" He teased. "Speaking of which I was told that someone was going to payback for all those kisses she owed me?"

"Yes yes, learn to be patient, tiger. I am sure you are going home with a huge credit by the end of the day."

"Can't wait to see that! Now don't get me all distracted, we really need to stop discussing for now. I need to focus and you are being really distracting."

"Yes sir. All the best. Literally can't wait to see you."

"Thanks Ginna, see you soon."

I hadn't discussed my plan with anyone. Not even Mia. Not that she would tell anyone but I wanted to be completely discreet. I had taken the afternoon shift at the store so I could be free up my evening. We gathered outside the stadium entrance while waiting for Leslie and Cole to appear with the tickets. Soon they arrived twinning in the grey MSU jumper they had bought together from the merchandise shop. We made a hush hush entry into the stadium and occupied our seats. We still had some time to burn for the match to start. Everyone was totally in awe with the atmosphere around us. The stadium had started to jam with the audience on both the sides. The projector was flashing a 360-degree view of the stadium. There was chaos and chatter everywhere. The cheerleading squad was up on the stands in their jumpy tops with pom poms in their hands. They were performing their usual drill before the host took off. The football fans were going gun- ho as they cheered for their teams respectively. The stadium looked magnificent as if it was truly holding a renowned festivity.

Michigan was supposed to play against Maryland today. I had no idea about the credentials of the team but Andy told me that they were supposed to be quite good too. Andy, Mia and I shared some cotton candy to pass the time.

After sometime the projector was focused towards the podium which amplified the cries from the audience. It was time for the players to enter the field. As soon as the host announced their entry, there was wide spread hooting as they anticipated the entry of the Maryland team. The Maryland Terrapins entered and made a run to their stand with their hands held high. They had each worn their red team jersey above white colored shorts. Everyone was exuding strength and fitness but their faces weren't visible because of the helmet buckled up at their neck.
