Making the second male lead fall in love with me, the villainess Chapter 172 - 170: 5th Of May II

Chapter 172 - 170: 5th Of May II

Geoffrey was talking with his teammates when he saw Serena enter the big tent with her friends. He stood and gazed at her with his mouth slightly agape, awestruck that anyone could be so beautiful and confident. She and her friends were standing out with their dresses, but he could not deny that it suits them.

"Hey Captain Geoffrey, you still there?" one of his teammates, Alex, asked as he chuckled along with Rainier and Wilfred.

Geoffrey was pulled out of his trance when he heard his teammates chuckling. Usually, he's very serious and focused, but Serena always has that effect on him. He shook his head. "Sorry, I was distracted. Where were we?"

"We can continue our discussion for the game later, we totally understand that you want to be somewhere else." Wilfred teased.

"Am I that obvious?"

The three just looked at him and grinned. "Just go Captain love."

Geoffrey chortled, "Thanks, I'll see you three later."

"Am I the only one who noticed? Geoffrey seems like a whole new person now." Rainier commented.

"I think so too. In a good way of course. But then again, if my intended were half as amazing as his, then I'm even willing to change my religion." Wilfred replied.

"Okay, stop gossiping. The compet.i.tion is about to begin." Alex said.

Serena covered her mouth as she giggled. Diether's voice made it sound so exciting and with the audience roaring, she too felt her adrenaline pumping and shouted along. Not long after, she heard Diether continue speaking through the speakers.

"I think they're really ready now Artemis." Diether said to his partner announcer.

"Yes, I believe they are. But before we call on the teams that will be playing for this first match, I wish to inform everyone that for the semi-finals, there would be 6 chukkas. Half-time break would be after the 3rd chukka, and during that time, we encourage everyone to partic.i.p.ate in the divot stomping." Artemis announced.

Serena furrowed her brows. "What's a chukka?" she asked hoping one of her friends to answer.

Her friends all shook their head. They were never that interested in polo despite it being called "the sport of kings" or sometimes, "the gentlemen's sport".

Not getting any answer, she listened to Diether continue.

"Alright! So, without further ado, let us welcome the competing teams for our 1st semi-final match! Representing team 2 of year 2 in red, let us welcome, in the #1 position, Kylo Louis." Diether started announcing.

Serena saw Kylo enter the field mounted on a tall horse. She doesn't know if it's him controlling the horse, or the horse just have the same personality as him, but it seems like's it's entering the field prancing around. Kylo on his part was waving to the audience, and although he looked like an annoying peac.o.c.k, Serena heard some girls chant his name.

"Ugh, whatever do they see in him?" Gizel commented.

"Aside from his face? I have no idea." Milly replied.

Via pressed her lips into a straight line not wanting to comment. Honestly, Kylo was pretty nice she thinks.

"In the #2 position, Charlton Daniel!" Artemis announced, and this time, the crowd went wild.

Serena heard most of the ladies screaming his name at the top of their lungs, and although it annoys her, she couldn't help but feel proud. Proud that he was all hers. She wanted to yell his name too, but she doubts that he would be able to hear her.

Charlton entered the field on top of a brown horse wearing a fitted short sleeve collared shirt with the number 2 embroidered on the right sleeve. He was carrying a stick on his right hand, the effort making his bicep form. On his head was a helmet, but it did not hide even a little of his handsomeness.

He scanned the crowd as he stopped midfield where Kylo and the two umpires were. It was not difficult to spot Serena with her friends as they were dressed differently. Although he was not sure if she can see his expression from that distance, he still gave a dashing smile and a mock salute her way before taking his position.

Serena wanted to scream and gush like a fangirl. He was already oozing with pheromones and masculinity when he entered the field, but when he smiled and made that mock salute her way, she almost wanted to faint.

"Catch me, I think I'm about to faint." Serena said to her friends as she exaggeratedly pretended to wobble.

The three girls giggled until they all heard a voice from behind.

"Are you okay?" Geoffrey asked as he gripped Serena's arms with his two hands to steady her.

Caught by surprise, Serena was given a fright. Did Geoffrey see Charlton direct that to her? "Yes, I'm perfectly fine." she replied quickly with her voice slightly raised as she tried to shrug his hold.

Geoffrey felt her trying to move away from him, so he let her go. He clenched his fist to stop its tremors as he recalled the feel of her bare skin. It was warm, smooth, and soft. Anyway, he shook his head and smiled at her when she turned to face him. He was glad that she came.

"I saw you come in with your friends. I hope you don't mind me joining you before my match. Have you familiarized yourself with the game?" he asked as he smiled and gave a nod of acknowledgement to Via, Milly, and Gizel, who also turned to face him.

Serena wanted to say 'yes, I mind.' But he already managed to place himself between her and Milly. She and her friends looked at each other their eyes wide. In the end, Serena shook her head in defeat. What can they do? drive him away?

"Not really, I'm just here to watch my brother's team win." She replied as she faced forward only to see that Leonard was already on the field.

Geoffrey chuckled. "Then do ask me if there's anything you don't understand."
