I stood long on the doorway, counting my breaths. It’s been ten minutes since I came and I couldn’t go in. Not yet. My hands hovered around the doorknob. My breathing went louder with each second.

Coach had told me to apologize to Ferdi. Just like that. I should say sorry for what I don’t even know about. ‘And maybe he was going to give you back your position.’

I’d laughed dry at the coach but now I wasn’t even smiling anymore.

This was for soccer. Nothing else.

With one deep breat

  • Playing For Him: A loser's obsession    What boyfriends do

    KarelFerdi held me so tight, his body pressed against mine like if he let go, I might disappear or something.“Don't move, okay?” he said quietly. I heard his heartbeat in my ears.I nodded, still wondering what was going on.He freed me about five minutes later, then held my wrist and pulled me toward his condo.“What are you doing, Ferdi?” I asked once we were inside his cold sitting room.He turned briefly to me, then let go of my wrist. “Isn't that what boyfriends do? I was just trying to learn.” He almost pouted.Fuck, why did I find him cute?“Don't tell me you went to Google to search for that.” I hiccuped with laughter.His eyes were innocent, almost too casual. “What if I did?”I walked past him, shaking my head as he stood watching me.“You're insane, Ferdi. You think that would erase what you did?” I poured a glass of water for myself, gulping it down and staring at him through the translucent glass.He went silent, his eyes dropping, his long lashes casting a shadow on hi

  • Playing For Him: A loser's obsession    Who the heart beats for

    Karel I stood at the pitch longer than I intended after Dael left. I couldn't get Ferdi off my thoughts no matter how hard I tried. I couldn't even tell if he was doing this on purpose or just me misunderstanding him. Does he know what Pedro had asked me to do? That even scared me more than I thought. I walked past the semi dark pitch with only a night light standing a loop. Then I stumbled into somebody. “Watch it.” I said calmly but my eyes widened hesterically. “Zayne?” I almost screamed at the top of my voice. Seeing him here felt more like a curse. “What are you doing here?” I fidgeted, feet shuffling on the ground. Stay still, Karel. I took a deep breath. Zayne looked pathetic, like something hard had struck him. Wait have he found out? My heart pounded roughly against my chest. No this couldn't be. The ground should just open up and swallow me. I couldn't imagine the shame. “Are you okay?” Zayne raised his brows suspiciously. “What? I'm fine.” I sta

  • Playing For Him: A loser's obsession    Don't stay away

    Miguel “Do it however you want.” Karel shot the ball into the net, his body rigid as he performed. “But your style is the best.” Dael pouted, shooting another ball into the net with full strength that made me shut my eyes as I dived to catch it. My chest tightened as it slowly seemed like I was the third wheel. They just ranted things to each other, leaving me the shit out of it. Karel looked surprisingly smiley and a bit uncomfortable even though it was just the three of us. I couldn’t help but stare longer at him—now I understand why Ferdi and Caine are all over him. “Show me how you do it.” Dael grunted toward Karel when I tossed the ball back to him. “Just shoot with your legs like you did earlier, right? It’s not that hard. Come to think of it, you’re on the basketball team. What the hell are you doing on a football field?” Karel said with waggling eyes and a palm to his forehead. “I need to be in the team next month.” Dael cried, chasing the already running Karel

  • Playing For Him: A loser's obsession    Getting Caught

    Karel I pulled away from the kiss when Ferdi had no intention of stopping. A slim strand of saliva broke between us, our panting breaths mixed together. His eyes opened a little, just the lids shifted as he stared at me—unsatisfied. “Are you going to put me back in the team?” I pressed the question out with a sore throat. Ferdi's grip on my waist tightened, he looked away. He looked out of place for the first time in my whole life and it made my chest sting— he doesn't have answers. “I'm sure you heard my question." My words were shaky and unstable. "You're not.” He said quietly, almost like he regretted it which I know was that dumb facade he'd built to make people think he cared. My throat ached to even swallow properly, my body felt too stiff, the right words didn't wish to form in my mouth. “You didn't?”He didn't look at me but his knuckles turned white. My throat bobbed. “You asked for my loyalty, Ferdi. You fucked me, you did whatever pleased you with my body and yet

  • Playing For Him: A loser's obsession    He Only Claimed Me

    Karel My eyes stayed fixed on a particular soul as he ran around on the pitch, tackling and passing shots. My eyes trailed down the fine sweat that looked like lubricant on his skin. Karel, look away. He shouldn’t catch you staring, but I kept looking like it would earn me a little award. I was jolted from behind, a heavy arm dropping on my shoulders. I didn’t need to look to know who it was. “A penny for scaring me the fourth time today.” I raised a knee, wrapping my arm around it. “My bad.” She pressed me closer to her. “Didn’t know men get scared.” “Shut up.” She threw her head back with an overwhelming laugh that made me almost run away. “Dael, if you keep choking like that people would think you’re actually out of your mind.” “I am. I don’t care about who’s looking at me.” Her eyes drifted

  • Playing For Him: A loser's obsession    He's Everywhere

    Karel Here I was again, legs leading back to Gabriel’s place. Of course. I couldn’t possibly get back to Ferdi’s condo. That would be extremely stupid. I clutched Ferdi’s jacket, which was worn inside out now, my body feeling light as I walked through the familiar walls that led to Gabriel. No goons were hanging around, just empty ground. What’s Gabriel up to these days? Before I could even walk further, Gabriel appeared by the door. His expression dark, a piece of cigarette burning between his fingers as he took me in. He looked like he knew everything already. My heart hammered against my ribs as the thought that he might hit me struck me. “Dad.” I whispered with wobbling lips. Gabriel didn’t blink as he bored holes into me. Then he moved, a step at a time, coming down the stairs. I felt the urge to turn on my heels and run away. But I didn’t back away. Not when he would call me
