Chapter Six

The day passed by in a blur of activities and by seven pm I had an account which I texted to Frank.

Jane left after explaining in details, how to use the app and answer calls, -like seriously I don't know if she thinks I'm incapable of doing or knowing that-, with a promise of returning the next day which was Christmas eve, once she's done with work.

I just got into my room when I heard the sound coming from my laptop so I sat on my bed and quickly accepted the call.

Thank God my hair was still in place apart from a few loose strands and I was still dressed in my leggings and cardigan. Phew.

"Hey you" I said with a smile when I saw his face.

"Hey you too" he said returning my smile "you look.. Beautiful. Its like you're glowing." I blushed at that.

"Oh please stop that, I'm all sweaty from moving up and down today" I said, glad things are not awkward like I thought it would be.

"Yea. Which is why you're a special kind of beautiful" he said with a serious face.

I can't deny that I love the way he throws compliments so easily and boldly.

"Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself" I said and noticed a new tattoo on his arm that wasn't there in the last picture he sent me. "And you got another tattoo?" I was never a fan tattoos, but I beg to differ, he pulls it off nicely. no pardon me, greatly.

"Yes. guess I did. And it still hurts a little" he said with with a slight grimace on his face when he tried to hide the tattoo before i got a good look at it

"Aww, come on I want to see it" I pleaded with a pout on my face. He just smiled and shook his head at my antics.

"You'll see it, but not today" he pulled his sleeve lower when he saw that I was staring intently at his arm.

"Come on. I promise to show you next time we meet?"

"That sounded like a question, are you sure you're gonna show me?" I asked. but i realized something. "you know I just have to watch one of your matches and I'll see it right?" I told him confidently, with a raised brow.

He just chuckled and nodded his head, causing me to narrow my eyes at him.

"I'll show you okay? Just not now" He looked and sounded sincere so I nodded my head in reply.

"Okay..." There was a moment of silence which I used to take him in properly. Before he said.

"You know, sometimes I just wish I was a regular guy with a normal life" he had a faraway look on his face when he said which caused me ask.

"Uh, why? I mean a lot of people would kill just to have your life for a day" it sounds shallow, but that's the truth and we all know it.

"No, I do love what I do, and I love my fans. Its just, I wish.. I wish I could go out without encountering the paparazzi or obsessive fans, it gets... Crazy and frustrating sometimes. Or most times. Like right now I'd love to go out with you, or we could just take a walk, get to know you and experience the little things with you" he broke off with a long sigh. And I only gathered my thoughts to reply after a few beats.

"Hmm. That sounds like someone's asking me out on a.. date?" I said jokingly to ease off some of the tension.

He looked at me seriously before saying. "What if I am, would it be too soon for you? Or you don't want to get dragged into this kind of life?" He asked boldly.

"Uhm.. " lame.. I know, that was all that came to mind.

"So? Would you go out on a date with me?" He asked more clearly this time.

"Well Not now, but definitely after the world cup, once everything's settled?" he kept scratching his hair which I'm guessing is a sign of nervousness.

I chuckled at the sight and pretended to think before saying "I thought you just wanted to be friends?" I said feigning a surprised look.

He looked like he was actually thinking about how to answer that.

"Uhhh.. Well I" I couldn't hold it anymore, i released the laughter I'd been holding and he looked at me like I was crazy before he's eyes widened in realization.

"Oh my God your face was priceless.. I'm just playing with you" I said finally after catching my breath but still continued to laugh lightly.

"of course I'll go on a date with you, after the world cup that is" he gave me an ear splitting grin when he heard that which caused my heart to beat wildly in my chest.

"I can't wait" he whispered.

And I wanted so badly to believe that this was a good idea, but the pessimist in me keeps telling me that its too good to be true.
