“Yeah I’d thought I’d give it a chance. See if it was worth all the hype you guys were giving it.” I reply cheerfully.
“And what do you think now? Glad you came?” His face is just one constant smile. I don’t think I’ll ever see him sad.
“Yeah actually it’s fun, just a little cold. I’m not used to this temperature yet” if it’s at all possible his smile gets even bigger.
“Well that’s what I thought when I saw you standing up there. I mean, don’t get me wrong you look as hot as hell but you’ve got to be cold, so I bought you my jacket to wear to keep you a bit warmer.” I smile at him then, a real genuine smile, at his thoughtfulness, he really is a sweet guy. I thought he was just really cocky and over confident when we first met this morning but maybe I was wrong.
“Thanks Chris that’s really nice of you. Won’t you need it afterwards though?” I ask him.
“I’ll just come and find you and we can share” he says while wiggling his eyebrows. I laugh at him while pulling the jacket on. He grabs the the front of it and pulls me a little closer to his body and wraps the jacket around my small frame.
“Stay warm, I’ll see you later.” He leans in a places a small peck on my cheek, winks at me then turns and heads back to the locker room.
With the cold shivers that was already going through my body I didn’t notice Logan stood off to the side watching my interaction with Chris. Nor did I notice the hot chocolate and jacket in his hands. As I turned around though I did see him; he had a hurt look in his eyes. I started to make my way over to him to say hi, I’d been waiting for this moment all night. But once it seemed he realised I was walking to him he threw his hot chocolate on the floor and stormed off in the other direction. Strange. Maybe I’ll get chance later to ask him if everything was ok but once again I get the impression that I’m the reason for him being angry.
After finally getting our hot chocolates, we made our way back to our seats. Amber just gave me a small smile when she realised who’s jacket I was wearing.
“He was just being kind” I insisted when a few comments were made. maybe I really did need to do or say somethingto him, I didn’t want him to get the wrong impression, I liked him as a friend but that’s it.
The cheerleaders were just finishing their routine and the players walked back on to the field. I spotted Logan right away. Just looking at him warmed me up a little. But then he walked right up to Tara and gave her a big kiss on the lips. His team mates and the other Cheerleaders all started hollering and whooping. I just stood there staring. I mean it doesn’t matter to me who he kisses. He can kiss whom ever. I don’t have any say over him. We’ve had like one conversation. For all I knew they could already be dating. I would have hoped he would have gone for someone with bit more class if what Amber had said about her was true but it is what it is.
I truly felt like I’d been punched in the gut though. I just wanted to go home actually and get in bed, but I couldn’t, I needed a ride. I really didn’t think it was fair to ask my aunt to come back out now just because I was what?
Jealous?
I was just going to have to make it through the rest of the game and wait for my ride home. I didn’t come here tonight just for him.
That’s what I keep telling myself anyway.

Logans POV
After a couple hours to think it over, I know that I need to be near her, with her. It’s in me. Its instinct, I can’t do anything about it. I won’t be able to stay away from her. So I’ll just have to keep it a secret from my pack. From my parents.
I come out onto the field at the game and take a look around. My eyes find her easily. She looks gorgeous stood there and when she notices me she treats me to a smile and a wave. It does wonders for me. I feel like my body is fully charged and ready for anything; but she must be freezing. She has on a tiny little jacket. Does she not know the temperature drops here? I’ll take her my jacket later and a hot drink.
I play the best I have played in a long while. Maybe I am showing off a little for her and letting some of my wolf side through. At half time I quickly grab my jacket and some cash and go to get some hot chocolate. She has to be really cold by now. When I get there, there’s a huge queue, but I’m not bothered by that, I can get to the front of it with my charm. When I get there though, the woman serving will not shut up talking, in the end I think I come off a little rude but I’m running out of time. I have to get back to the locker room but I still need to go find Alexia. After a minute or two of following my nose, she leaves the most tantalising trail wherever she goes. She’s easy to find. But what I see has my blood boiling in seconds.
