Seeking Faith

    He continued: ' I hadn't seen my girlfriend for a while because I've been playing here, but she came down from Leeds today. I had to do something to break the tension, so we put Plan B into action – if you know what I mean.'

  It was bedlam.

 ‘Don't you worry about any of that,' said Paul's new manager. 'Your dad will still be involved. We'll meet him next week to get things sorted out. Paul, I think you are an absolutely unbelievable player and you have a totally unique character. From what I've seen, you've got the ability to get on with everyone – but you also have the ability to be the best at this game. My job is to take the pressure off, and you need that. You just pot balls and I’ll do everything else.'

 I don't look back on those years as wasted. Now that our time together has been cut short, I suppose I could feel bitter about it. I could feel that we missed out on extra years when we could have been together – but he just wasn’t ready for a steady realtionship back then. It was part of who he was; he needed to sow his wild oats to get them out of his system. Given what he was going to be facing later, I’m almost glad he did.

It was as if Paul couldn’t get Gemma out of his system. They were one of those couples who seem to be attached by a piece of elastic, pinging back and forwards to each other, beaking up and making up. Perhaps it was the drama that made it addictive.

 ‘I’ll have a vodka, please, Graham, a very large one,’ Paul said. ‘And if you could just keep them coming at a steady rate for the rest of the day, I’d be much obliged.’ He winked and Dad laughed and somewho the ice was broken. Paul could put anyone at ease, and the tone was immediately set for the rest of the day. He was so charming that my mum and dad thought he was great from that moment on.

We walked back to the apartment. Even though we were going to sleep in the same apartment, it would be in different beds. ‘Lindsey,’ Paul said just as we opened the door. ‘It’s you, Lindsey, I want to be with you.’ I could feel all the hairs on my arms stand up as he said it. ‘I’m going to finish with Gemma once and for all. As soon as we get back to Leeds, that’s it. Then, you and me – we’re a couple.’ He kissed me again and poked me in the ribs, smiling. ‘You can’t hold out forever, Lindsey – look at me. I’m bloody irresistible!’

As I left, Nicky gave me a cuddle but I was a bit disappointed that Paul didn't say anything else. However, just as I got into the cab he flew out of his front door. I rolled my window down. ‘Here, Lindsey,’ he said, ‘I just wanted to let you know if you ever fancy another game of truth or dare, well – I’m your man.’ He gave me a wink and went back inside, leaving me thinking nice thoughts about him all way home.
