Pray tell, why did you allow a man to taint your perception of football? You had come for the match, not him; anyone could come watch a match. Anyone could buy a ticket, sit in the stands, and disappear among thousands of other fans. Yet, your mind fogged with anticipation. You were far above Hugo's reach! Yet you couldn't seem to deny the slow, bubbling feeling of anticipation as you crept through the stadium, the chance you may encounter him. You couldn't even escape him before the game! Lines of merchandisers holding up jerseys, yet only one caught your eye. A vendor had held up a blue shirt with a name sewn across the back that you had recognised immediately. Sitting down in the stadium did little to soothe the tightening of your stomach.
By every moral code, it was preordained for you to loathe him—a preponderance of you did. Howbeit, you could not stifle that breathless, surging tide of expectation that you would meet, reconcile, and relinquish the air between yours and his lips, maybe. He was a conniving man, one who weaved lies like an artisan with the cheapest of fabrics. Still, most certainly, you could not deny the ever-growing thrumming of your heart, a thrum somehow so loud it reached over the cacophonating discussion between fans. Hugo. Vivian Hugo. Such an affinity had made you feel bereft of all identity. The dichotomy between Hugo in your early relationship and his character at the end, when you separated, was astonishing.
You couldn't suppress the history you had with him, tell yourself that you just never loved him because you did, quite a lot in actuality. His love was once reminiscent of your childish, idealistic interpretation of a romantic relationship, marked by constant messaging, gifts, and dates. Seeing a football field brings tear-provoking moments. Back when you used to sit on quiet practice fields and watch Hugo dribble a ball across neon cones on empty grass, when his ambition had sounded like a career and not distance.
"No guy is busy for 5+ hours," your friends texted you. The 'seen' in your messages with Hugo stared back like a slap to the face. Since when did he ever reply with anything other than ‘can’t, got football, ma chérie’? What were you meant to do? Chide him and tell him to give up his lifelong pursuit just to keep you company? That's so selfish. You swallowed your pity, and one thing led to another; suddenly, you were single.
A thunderous boom of a microphone rattled through your ears, shaking your sulk off in a second.
The announcer began reading the lineup.
You told yourself not to listen too closely. In fact, all you did was listen closely; you knew his name would be read, yet when Vivian Hugo reverberated across the stadium, your chest only tautened. Under your lashes, you caught Hugo's striking maroon hair on the jumbotron, strands that fell in a hue that could only be described as a shade comparable to the most top-end of wines. Your stomach fell.
The interviewer pushed his mic closer to the man you had once called your boyfriend, his eyes flashing with amusement.
“Any message for the fans tonight?” Chimed the pre-game interviewer.
Hugo paused for half a second, eyes aimed towards his cleats, wetting his lips—stalling—before straightening his head and answering.
The screen cut away. Your chest ached once more. The ball rolled down the far wing. The reporter lowered the microphone as the cameras cut. Hugo ran his hand through his hair, taking a moment to breathe. The crowd’s roar rose around you, swelling against the walls of the stadium.
By the time the first whistle blew, the first passes were already in motion. The ball rolled down the far wing. Hugo jogged lazily for a second, eyes flicking up to the stands as if hoping to spot someone familiar—you. To spot you. For a moment, everything else but him blurred, and recognition sparked between Hugo and you.
Just as you rounded the corner to head to your car, there he was. Jogging slowly, still in his kit, head tilted slightly as if scanning the near-empty carpark. Your breath hitched. The dark, cold sky loomed over, Hugo's breath blossoming before him. It was well past the game; he shouldn't have been this out of breath unless he was deliberately seeking you out.
The chaos that enclosed your mind faded out, focusing on the narrow strip of air between him and you. The man stopped in front of you. His eyes locked onto yours, and recognition more or less flickered across his face.
"Why were you there?" Hugo demanded.
"To watch a football game, what else?" Your eyes met his, refusing to crack the indifferent expression on your face. Did he always have this effect? It felt like you were being hypnotised. The next statement that left your lips was left in a tone you had not known could be so stern:
"You need to move on," you breathed, employing a nervous chuckle out of exasperation, the atmosphere suddenly getting tenser.
His eyes narrowed, the movement punctuating. Hugo dragged in a slowed and heavy breath through his nose before letting it out again—the sort of breath someone seizes when they’ve been trying very not to lose their temper.
"What's your deal? Don't be silly, you know you're destined for me, so why are you trying so hard to deviate from the path paved for you?" Hugo snapped; the hand he had just used to manhandle the opposing football team's players grabbed your face. Pressing his forehead against yours, as if the way you felt like the world was closing in on you was a part of his intent. In any other capacity, a flicker of mirth may have escaped you, maybe you would have lowered your hand to strike your knee and say something along the lines of 'good one!'—but this man, all one hundred and eighty-seven centimetres of him, possessed an unyielding gaze with a sincerity that could only be described as absolute.
“Stop acting like you still have any right to me. Goodness, were you always this pretentious and hellbent?” Your voice rises, jaw instantly tightening as the last few words came out honed, edged with bitterness—but beneath it lingered something softer, almost intimate. His grip tightens at your words, pulling you a step closer before you can react. You lift your chin and huff, “I hadn't come for you.”
Your words drowned when his lips touch yours. It is not soft, nor warm; it bears no resemblance to the kisses the same man gave you during the primordial stages of naivety within your past relationship with him. The kiss is all teeth and a battle of dominance rather than a shared moment of affection. Hugo deepened the kiss, his tongue brushing against your lower lip, though you were adamant about not entertaining whatever perverse goal he was trying to get at.
He needily nips at your lower lip, causing you to yelp and consequently open your mouth. Unhesitatingly, his tongue slips into your mouth. The suddenness was warm, overwhelming, and incredibly sultry all at the same time. Hugo's other hand threaded through your hair, roughly tilting your head back, angling your face to kiss deeper. Hugo only pulled away to breathe, a string of saliva connecting you two; you couldn't help but internally scream at the scene.
