Finding Her Way Back.

Games and then some! (44)

The crowd was already chanting as I entered the family box seats on the 2nd floor. I saw a few wives and girlfriends of the team members and smiled and waved at them.

I got settled in, the team were already on the field amping the crowd up and a countdown had begun on the screen to when the game was beginning. The atmosphere was ripe, it was cold but that didn't stop the fans from still being topless, face painted and ready for the game.

We stood as each team lined up and sang their national anthem. I smiled as I saw Mase. He was tall, confident and he looked at Jamal who winked and nodded. They were both ready for the game.

Soon after the British national anthem had ended my phone buzzed. I took my seat and looked at, 'Jacqui Baby💅🏾 incoming.' I rolled my eyes and ended the call.

She immediately messaged me, 'did you just cut the call on me? I know where you are, just answer.'

She called again and this time I answered sheepishly.

"Hey sis." I smiled.

She smiled with Maya on her shoulder and pursed her lips a little bit, "mmhmm I knew it! Isaiah you owe me money." She grinned.

I gasped, "so you were betting on me?"

"But why did you answer the phone?" Isaiah face palmed himself in the frame.

"We all new she was going to be there." I heard Malcolm say in the back.

I rolled my eyes. The commentator had started amping up the game as the team mates got into position.

"So who all is there and how much trouble am I in?" I crossed my legs.

Jacqui smiled, "don't worry it's just us. How were you planning to hide it if paparazzi catch you?"

I shrugged, "honestly the priority on my mind was just to see Mason, we didn't think of the logistics."

Maya stired on her arm, "okay speak to Mal." She passed the phone over.

The game had begun and the Belgian team had possession.

"Hey Mal," I smiled.

"Hey sis, why didn't you tell me you were going to Belgium?" He looked a little offended.

I sighed and chewed my lip, Mal and I hadn't been talking as much as we use to lately.

"And whats this about you nearly having a panic attack?" He asked.

I looked at the game then back at the screen. I pushed my glasses in and wrapped my scarf a little more, "it wasn't intentional Mal. With your busy shifts and my schedule I just didn't want to bother you as much. There's just been a lot going on and I needed a break so this is it." I half smiled.

He paused for a second, "so you decided to tell Isaiah? He's about as caring as an ironing board." He half smirked which let me know he was teasing him.

"hey! I care!" Isaiah shouted from behind and he threw something at him.

I burst out laughing and the crowd roared which took me by surprise. The other team had scored.

"Okay you guys, I need to get back to the game, are you guys not watching?" I asked them.

Mal nodded, "yeah we are but good luck understanding whats going on without us." He teased.

"Oh I'm sure I can follow it." I stuck out my tongue and waved.

"Au revoir." I said and I cut off.

I let out a breath and smiled. I loved my family, even though they were intrusive and crazy, they were mine.

The game continued, the score was pretty tight. The Roses were winning by a few points ahead. Mason had scored a few tries and it was close to ending.

"Didn't think the game would be so tight huh?" A girl next to me said. She grinned at me and I gave her a brief smile.

"I thought they would have this in the bag but I guess we'll see what happens." I responded.

She nodded, "to be honest, I wasn't even planing to be here but I came with my girl to surprise someone."

This time I turned and looked at her, her friend wasn't there but they had taken up the seats next to me. I kind of knew who was with who because of social media and there was a consensus that those that didn't have girlfriends didn't really invite their one night stands to games.

"Anyone in particular?" I asked her curiously.

She smirked, "that one." She pointed.

I looked to the field at who she pointed at and as expected, Mason had the ball in his hands and threw it.

I swallowed and half smiled, "oh you know Mason? I'm Elizabeth by the way." I introduced myself and shook her hand coyly.

She giggled like a little girl and nodded, I felt anger arise in my throat but I didn't react. "I'm Angelina." She responded. She was quite pretty with curly hair, olive skin and green eyes, she was definitely mixed and I knew she was attractive.

"Nice to meet you Angelina." I smiled with a tight lip. "And how do you know Mason?" I asked again. This time, I had crossed my legs and leaned back into the seat and faced her. There was just a few minutes of the game left.

Her friend who had gone away to the concession stand came back with a few snacks in her hand, when she saw me her eyes opened wide.

"I met-" Angelina started but her friend violently shook her head and whispered something in her ear.

Angelina's eyes opened wide, now realising who I was, she swallowed.

Now anger had arisen in me and I smiled maliciously, "you better stay away from my man or we will have a problem ok? You might have fooled around when we broke up but we are back together so I'm not sure what made you think you could show up to his game tonight but if I see you near him we will have a problem." I rolled my eyes and turned back to the game.

Jamal had scored a try and the crowd roared.

The game had ended.

Her eyes opened wide and she swallowed and nodded.

I knew a conversation was pending when we got back to the hotel.

The question is, who is Angelina?👀
