Knowing Asher

"You ready for the big game" I asked wiggling my eyebrows after hooking my hands around his neck.

He didn't waste time to wrap his hands around my waist pulling me closer to him.
I felt sparks which I will never entirely get used to. I was wearing his jersey again with some denim shorts pairing it up with the sneakers he bought me. "Babe, this is hardly a game. We are going to win this as usual" he tilt his head back to give me that smug look.

"Good because I always support the winning team" I smiled and he chuckled.

"And you chose wisely. Now my good luck kiss" he smirked leaning forward but I put my hand on his lips.

"Don't think you will be needing that" I smirked and withdraw my hand after he kissed it. "I told you I will always need it" he leaned again but I don't stop him this time. I kissed him briefly not wanting my lipstick to stain his lips.

He doesn't seem to mind.

Well I do. He just grinned after I pulled away. "Will you be going to the after party?" he asked and I shake my head at his confidence.

"So eager to show me off"

"I will always be happy to show you off. Have you seen you?" My heart fluttered and I smiled.

I like this guy so much.

"Asher" a voice called behind me making me unwrap my hand from his neck. He still has one hand around my waist.

"You ready for the game?"his coach's voice came up. I tried not to squirm under his gaze as he stared at me.

"Always ready coach. Meet my girlfriend, Stephanie" Asher said and I smiled politely at the coach.

"I see. Don't disappoint me and never forget your priorities" he said and walked out.

'Never forget your priorities'.
Was he referring to me? Did he just imply I might be Asher's distraction and maybe weakness.

"That's coach for you cupcake" Asher said as if sensing the change in my mood.

"I have a game to win. See you later babe" he pecked my lips quickly and walked out.

I walked out after fiddling with my fingers and tried to find my seat. I was surprised when I saw the seats he got my friends and I. The fucking VIP seat. I can see literally everything from here with no disruptions. "This is one of the perks of dating the captain of our basketball team" Amanda squealed as she took some selfies.

"Freaking VIP seat and it is free"Angela squealed facing me then turned to her boyfriend. He smiled at her and turned back to the field where the Katrina and her group were performing. I looked at Katrina and watched for mistakes, but of course there were none to be seen. She did every choreography move like she'd created it, her smile never wavering as she kicked, spun, and cheered in perfect unison with the other girls.

Disappointing. I hate that she is really good.How can someone like her be good at something? She had tried to ruin a lot of people's high school year. I glanced around and noticed Asher's family well just his mom, Delaney and Sydney. Sydney spotted me and whispered something to Delaney.

They all turned to me and waved with a big smile. I turned back to the field to watch my boyfriend play. Funny the last time I watched his match, I wasn't even sure what I was to him. Now I was his girl.

Life is so unpredictable. I want my life to be a bed of roses and no thorns.

Ya wish...

The place was teeming with energy, like every single person in that gym was about to explode with their uncontrollable excitement. The team was warming up, and it felt like something big was about to happen. Balls bounced, people climbed the steps of the bleachers looking for their seat number,minutes ticked down on the giant scoreboard.
