It's finally time for football camp and I'm sat on a bus with the whole football team. I actually really Like football camp. You may be thinking then your weird if you like camp but it's far away in the middle of no where and we play football. We get cabins with wi-fi we get to do what we want most of the day we get to wonder of and basically do what we want as long as we're back in time for football. We spend 3 hours a day playing football and training.
We go for a month and it's during summer. Some people may think that's crazy but what else would I do during summer break I'd probably just be sat in the house all day doing nothing getting away is good for me. Except for the 4 hour drive with a bunch of loud people im the most quite on the team and I don't date cheerleaders most people think it's weird but the ones who know me properly like the whole football team know that to me that's normal considering I'm gay. And I'm already in love with someone.
We finally pull up to the camp. We get all of today to our selves. We get to do what we want then tomorrow we start football. We got of the bus and another bus pulls up and then people get of it. I must looked shocked I look at the team and they don't look chipper about it either.
Our main rivals get of the bus. The only other team we don't properly get along with. Mainly because of me and their captain. We always go at it his names Callum. We are always arguing I don't know why we just always break out into a fight over the stupidest stuff. To be honest I hate arguing with him. Can you guess why. Maybe because he's the one I'm in love with I have been since we first met. That was 6 years ago and we're both 18 now. We met during our first match against each other. I just couldn't stop looking at him.
Even my teammates know about my feelings they say I should confess but they don't tell me why they want me too. Like shouldn't they hate the idea of me dating a rival team. We walk up to the coach's both coaches and a few teachers. Both teams are stood together.
Our coach "alright people. I know this is a surprise but your gonna be going up against each other over the month and one from each team is gonna be in a cabin together and sharing a room."
Fucking great. I didn't think they would do this. I could deal with being in a cabin because I would just be in my room but we have to stay in the same room together.
They start reading our names
Callum's coach "Ayden piller with Gabriel mullings, Brett greenwood and Connor Rodwell, Doug backs and luis ackley, Brandon Lockhart and Denny Mosley,"
The next name shocks me I can't believe this
Callum's coach "Justin burkins and Callum Betts"
This Carrys on until the whole teams have been put together we all groan and go of to our cabins after being given our keys. Me and Callum walk quietly to ours. He unlocks the door and holds it open for me I blush but walk inside and towards the room and Callum's follows me.
Callum "which bed do you want"
"I'll take this one. Unless you prefer being near the window"
Callum "nah it's fine"
How are we not arguing he must've read my mind because he speaks up about it.
Callum sighs before he speaks and sits down on the bed
Callum "can we try and not argue while we are here I don't want to live with someone if I'm just gonna argue with them and we both know the coaches won't let us switch. I don't want to argue over stupid stuff while we're here like we always do"
I sigh thank god. I don't think I could deal with him always being in a mood with him. I know he hates me as it is and that hurts as it is and the arguing hurts more but I don't want to be one of those people who just lets someone walk all over them.
"Ye I hope we can. I'd much prefer that. I didn't come here to argue I just want to have fun and chill out."
Callum nods "I get that. Thanks"
I nod and start putting away my stuff and Callum starts to walk out of the room taking a really big bag with him when he turns back round.
Callum " do you have any allergies"
I look at him weird but shake my head.
Callum "not vegetarian or vegan"
I carry on looking at him weird and he chuckles damn that sound is amazing I shake my head and he walks out closing the door behind him. I carry on putting away my stuff I finish about half an hour later and I walk out the room I hear a noise in the kitchen I walk in and see Callum putting food on plates.
He turns around and jumps almost dropping the plate.
"Oh sorry didn't mean to scare you"
Callum "it's alright. I cooked us some food" he says while he puts the plates down
"Oh thank you but you know they do food here"
Callum "I know but it's not exactly nice"
I chuckle at that. That is totally true the food is horrible
"True thank you so much"
Callum smiles and we sit down at the table I take a bite and accidentally let out a moan. I blush and hide my face. Shit I can believe I did that but I just couldn't help it. It slipped out this food is amazing. It's delicious.
I look up and see Callum looking at me with a look I cant quite place.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. The foods just really delicious"
Callum grins "it's alright and thank you"
I nod and carry on eating we finish of 20 minutes later and he gets up and put the plates in the sink.
Callum "I'm gonna go out and meet my mates"
"Ok" he walk out of the door and I go to the sink and clean the dishes I finish them and put them on the drainer. I notice some woods outside and a little lake. I go to my room and pull a blanket out. I go outside in front of the lake and lay my blanket down I lay down on top of my blanket.
I don't know how long went by I must've dosed of because I wake up to Callum shaking me.
Callum "hey"
I sit up and yawn "hey"
Callum "I didn't know where you were and I came out here and saw you sleeping. Your gonna catch a cold if you sleep out here. Would you like a cupcake"
I nod and be hands me one from a plate and eats one himself as he sits down next to me. We finish one each. When I finish I yawn once again.
Callum "come on. Come in and go to bed" he says while holding a hand out to me I nod and grab his hand he helps me up. He also grabs the blanket when I start to sway a little and he pulls me into him I would normally blush but I'm way to tired to care right now so I lay my head on his shoulder.
We make our way into the room and I grab some pants. It's too warm in here for a top. I look at Callum
"Can you please turn"
Callum nods and does ask I ask
I undress and get into my pj pants. I tell him that he can turn around again and he does. I climb in bed and curl up under the quilt. I notice him put the blanket into my draw. And he hops into bed himself.
I wake up screaming and covered in sweat and tears. I finally calm down and wipe my eyes I turn around about to go the living room and put on some tv I don't think I can fall back asleep when I finally see Callum looking at me.
Callum "are you ok"
I nod and Callum does something really unexpected he lifts his quilt up and looks at me.
Callum "come on"
I get up and walk to his bed I climb in and cover myself I keep my distance as much as I can in a small bed and I see Callum close his eyes after 10 minutes I think he's finally asleep I get closer and place my hand on his cheek and stroke his lip with my thumb I lean forward and kiss him. Shit I basically just attacked a sleeping man. I can't just do that. I know I've lived him for a long time but I can't just do something like that especially to an unconscious man.
I pull back and I'm about to turn over and scoot backwards when I see Callum's eyes open and staring at me with a look I once again can't place. I sit up. I don't want him to see me and see the hate in his eyes it would break my heart.
"I I'm really sorry I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry I know you hate me and probably even more so now"
I'm about to get up when I feel Callum grab my arm and pull me back down so I'm laid face to face with him. He places his hand on the back of my neck and pulls me into a kiss smashing his lips against mine.
He grips my ass and pulls my body closer to him I gasp and moan at the same time I feel Callum smile and he used the gasp and moan to his advantage while my mouth is open he slips his tongue into my mouth I melt against him and allow his tongue to explore my mouth as I moan into his.
I feel myself running out of air and Callum must be to because he pulls back and he's panting just as much as me.
Callum "I don't hate you. I never have. I've wanted to do that for a long time I just never expected you to kiss me while you thought I was asleep" he says chuckling
"I'm so sorry I shouldn't have done that"
Callum "don't be sorry like I said I've wanted to do that for a long time. I don't think I ever would've if you didn't just do that. I love you. I've been in love with you for years"
I blush "I love you too and have for years as well"
Callum smiles and pulls me into another kiss this one shorter than the other and he wraps his arms around my waist as my head is buried into his chest while he's laid on his back. We both fall asleep in each other's arms.
The month is up and it's time for us to go back home. Our stuff is already packed and on the bus. While we are waiting to get on. Me and Callum are stood hand in hand while the others talk.
Callum "how about a date when we get back."
"I'd love that"
Callum pulls me into a kiss we both pull back a few seconds later when we hear cheering and whistling.
I blush and bury my head into his neck. I finally hear the coaches say we can get on the buses. Me and Callum give one last kiss and go to our own buses.
I get on the bus and hear clapping and whistling. Yes they obviously know about us. they've known for at least 2 weeks. They were all happy for us even Callum's team.
The rest of the teams seems to get along now that me and Callum do. The teams have even made a few jokes. Saying that it's about time. And that we had both been so obvious but also so oblivious to each other's feelings. I sit in my seat at the back
I finally get home 4 hours later and I walk in the door and see my mum my dad my older sister who's 21 and my younger brother who's 9. He runs up to me and hugs me telling me how much he has missed me although we talked almost everyday.
Mum "you got anything else planned for today or you just chilling."
I hear my phone buzz and see Callum's name.
"I'll answer that in a second"
I go to my room and answer the phone
Callum "hey baby"
I blush at the nickname
"H hey"
Callum "so how about I pick you up in an hour and we can have our first proper date"
"Yes of course. What should I wear"
Callum "just something causal and warm it's a bit cold out"
"Ok I'll see you in an hour by I love you"
"I love you too"
We hang up the phone and I get dressed in something more appropriate for a date. I go back down stairs to my family in the living room.
"Turns out I have a date in an hour"
My parents chuckle
Mum "how's it going between you both"
"Good I'm thankful we're over all the stupid arguments although I never would've expected to be dating him" I say blushing
Dad "is he at least treating you well now that your together if he's not I can kick his ass"
I chuckle "do you really think I'd be going on a date with him if he wasn't"
Dad "good point"
I sit down and talk with my parents for the next 40 minutes when I hear a knock on the door. I get up and answer it to see Callum with some lavenders in his hands my favourite flowers. He hands them to me when I hear a voice behind me. really. He's gonna do this
I turn round and roll my eyes when I see him glaring
"Really dad"
He chuckles "I'm joking. I'm joking calm down but you dare hurt him and I will make you regret it" I roll my eyes once again and see my mum do the same as she comes over.
Mum "go on sweetie have fun I'll put these in a vase for you and I'll put them on your windowsill"
"Thank you mum"
I turn back round to see Callum with a smile he grabs my hand interlocking our fingers and we walk out the door.
my dad stands there seeing me of he also gets a few more words in
"You better get him home for 11pm"
Callum "I will do mr burkins"
My dad smiles and finally closes the door
"Sorry about my dad"
Callum chuckles "it's alright I expected it I am taking his son out on a date after all"
I nod and he leads me to his car.
We drive for 15 minutes. we arrive at a quite park while near the end of it anyway in-front of a lake. I wonder what we're doing here. He goes to the boot and pulls out a basket and a blanket.
"A picnic really!"
Callum smiles "ye I thought it was a nice idea. Are you happy with it"
"Of course but anywhere with you is fine with me."
Callum smiles again and pulls me in with his free hand and kisses me gently then pulls back but holds my hand leading us over to our spot.
He puts down the blanket and we sit down he opens the basket and pulls out all the food some sandwhiches my favourite kind blt, some small sausage rolls, some cupcakes, some of mine and his favourite fruit, some chocolate moose and a bottle of champagne and two glasses.
I look at him weird Over that.
He chuckles and turns the bottle around
Callum "don't worry alcohol free. I don't want to get on your dads bad side and I know you don't like alcohol much"
I smile he remembered a lot
"Thank you so much for this it all looks amazing did you make it all"
He nods. I smile I know he wants to own a cafe in the future I don't really know what I want to do to be honest he asked me about it after he told me he wanted to own a cafe and be a baker. I told him that I was planning on playing football as a professional but I got into a car accident a few months back badly damaging my knee, legs and back I asked the doctors about it and they say that if I play too much and professionally I could probably end up in a wheelchair because of it I needed surgery on my knee and legs I ended up with 2 big scars running down my legs.
I'm going to college but I won't be on the team then I may like football but not enough to be crippled because of it
It's been a month since the date and I'm having a football match against Callum and his team today. I'm excited about it me and Callum have said that we won't allow football to break us up it's not as important to us as our relationship is. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna throw the match I'm gonna give it all I've got and I'm gonna try and win.
The match has ended and me and my team won. Our side cheer and so do both teams we aren't sore losers we played a good match and it was a close one. Callum runs over to me and picks me up and spins me around
Callum "well done baby. You did well. That was a good match." I wrap my legs around his waist as he says that and he grins
"Thank you and you and your team did amazing too. It definitely was a good match and close"
Callum nod and pulls me into a kiss I can hear everyone cheering and clapping and some whistling. We pulls back and I unwrap my legs as he lets me down. We go over to the rest of the teams as we talk. Then we head out and Callum heads to mine.
6 years have gone by were both 24 and Callum owns his own cafe now. I work as a physical therapist I figured because of my Injury I could help people with theirs and help them not give up on their dreams just because of an Injury unless obviously it will cause serious damage.
We are both doing amazing. We got married 3 years ago. Moved in together 6 years ago into an apartment while we did college. We didn't go to the same ones but they were close. We moved into a house 4 years ago. We own two dogs and we're on our way to adopting our first child now. His names Ashton and he's a year old. His father couldn't deal with a baby after his wife died a few months after he was born he's been in the system for 3 months now. I can't believe no one adopted him before us but that just means we get the beautiful child. We're really excited and so are our families
