The Game

"She said that she'd be here." I said under my breath as I got out of my car. I was dressed slightly casual in a tie and button up shirt, but nothing too tight and hair kinda messy, just the way I liked it. Fireworks went off in the night sky as I walked toward the game. I am admittedly an introvert, I don't do social. it's not like I'm not good at socializing, but like I said, I just don't. But she would be there, so I figured I would give it a shot. I got to the ticket office and paid my dues, a whole two bucks to watch something that I don't care for, but like before my reason is simple, her. In real life and not just in my head. But I was still kinda sceptical and not wanting to be weird I placed my self in a non conspicuous spot and messaged her asking for her whereabouts. "up the stairs, right when you walk in, can't miss it." was her reply. I hurried up the stairs and found her waiting near the top. Despite the awkwardness of the bleaches she still looked fabulous. Her hair was slightly curled and hung lightly around ther face and down her shoulders.  She saw me and waved me over, sending unseen sivers up my spine. I went and sat by her, and encountered a problem, I was sitting in behind an older couple and my leg and just not built for bleacher seating. So the entire time, I was strangely positioned, trying my best to look casual, but not not comfortable at all, such is the life of someone of my stature, long and lanky. Eventually the bleachers clear to the point where I could get comfortable and talk to those around me, to heck with the game. We talked about all sorts of things, and joked about the name of the other team, all to sound of cheering fans and sudden bursts of fireworks going off to mark the many touchdowns that were being made. Suddenly she stood and announced that she couldn't sit on such horribly uncomfortable metal seats for much longer and needed to get up and walk around, so I volunteered  to accompany her, I am a gentleman after all, what else could I do. So we got up and walked around, talking about many different things, nothing of consequence, but my heart was hanging on every single word. We made it out to her car, where she got her jacket, and we went back to the game. It ended, like most games do, but we had already headed over to the other side of the world for a dance. I convinced her to walk with me over, its the least she could to since she convinced me to come. We walked and talked, I entire time, I had a smile on my face, but my heart was calm, I had given up on trying and it seems to be working. We walked under the clock tower, our steps reverberated off the clod hard stone, adding ambient noise to our journey. We walked and walked, the trees swayed and the stars glimmered, but she was the only thing I really cared about. We were nearing the end of our journey, when from out of the darkness there came a figure, a figure I recognized, and it was a figure that did not leave for the rest of the night. But for some reason, I didn't care, as long as I could make her laugh I was happy. And I am smiling still to this day.
