The Beautiful Game (Closed)

Daniel finished talking to the man and turned assessing the field on more time as he grabbed his books. He methodically smacked his notes into a tight package and tucked them into his binder. His coat came next and he pulled it over his shoulder straightening and popping his baseball cap back on. His after game habits done he made to leave keeping his binder between his arms as if some one might snatch it away from him.

Daniel took his job very seriously

His methods while some may consider intense had one him his fair share of games. Soccer was Daniels life and the military had taught him to have constant diligence in his pursuits. Daniel was good at that pushing every thing away focusing on some thing single-mindedly analyzing and pursue it. He was good at analyzing things to finding out an enemies weakness and finding the best form of attack so to speak.

Of course some times that be a problem

He had almost missed the hecklers at first so caught up in his work that his mind wasn’t truly there. Normally he wouldn’t mind after all all sports could get quite intense.

But there was a lady present so he turned his eyes narrowing as he tried to identify the hecklers in question. He found them seated a few stands back and he rose moving over to them quickly. He knew he bore an impressive stature and he used it to his advantage standing up straight and rigid and towering over them. He put and end to them before they could get to noisy. Normally he hated intimidating people but he didn’t like that kind of talk and his mother had taught him to be a gentleman around a lady. He got them to shut it but at the cost of missing the final goal and the games ending.

He shook his head out of his thoughts and excused himself from the man who was trying to chat with him about the upcoming match. He saw the woman Emma he believed walking towards the door and followed her stepping in front of her and opening it. He moved back keeping the door open for her.

“After you” He said politely ever the gentleman. His eyes soft and gentle losing the tightness from his high concentration earlier.
 
“It was my pleasure Ma’am” Daniel said his own gaze lingering on her as he watched her unfasten her coat. He found her mesmerizing in the most appealing way. It had been a while since he had been interested to say the least in a woman.

But there was just some thing about her

“Still I feel I need to apologize for the males back there” Daniel continued. He closed the door and followed her moving through the throngs of people making there way out of the stadium to match her pace.

“Maybe I can make it up to you” Daniel said surprising him self. They reached the entranceway leading to the exit and he stopped turning to her.

“Maybe we can go get some coffee or some thing get some warmth form this cold” Daniel said leaning against the wall to let people move past them.
