Knowing Asher

Chapter|63|

"Go Asher" I screamed jumping up. He looked at me and gave me his signature smirk. Those dimples!
"You are going to lose your voice at this rate"Amanda mumbled making me clear my throat. I settled down on the bleachers next to her staring right at the game.
"I have gotta cheer for my boy when he is whooping some ass" I replied.
"I know but you are making me lose cells in my ear"she grumbled and I turned to face her rolling my eyes.
"You guys coming for the after party?" I asked facing my friends.
"Wouldn't miss it"Rob said and turned back to the game.
The others agreed and I turned back to the match. The whistle was blown for a break so I walked down to where Asher was drinking from a water bottle. He spotted me and made his way over to me.
"You are doing great" I said and he gave me look as if to say obviously.
"You are too arrogant for your own good"I grumbled and he chuckled.
"And you like me that way"he pulled my cheeks and I puffed.
I saw his coach gesturing for him to come over but he couldn't see him from his view. "Coach is gesturing for you to come join the other players"he looked back and mouthed something to his coach.
He pecked my cheeks and jogged off. I walked back to where my friends were sitting. "You are making me feel awful for being single"Rose pouted and I stifled a giggle. "It_" I couldn't complete the sentence because of the glare she was sending my way. I was going to say she is going to meet someone soon.
I settled down and thoughts flooded my mind. This week has been frustrating.
I haven't gotten my test result but I know I didn't really do well. Why did the teacher have to pick question from a topic I had no knowledge about?
You are not the only one in that class.
He should have considered.
He already informed you guys about it but it slipped out of your mind. You are at fault for forgetting such substantial information.
I sighed thinking how I have started reading more. I can't fail more tests.
Tomorrow is going to be Asher's and I three month anniversary and I already got him the perfect gift. He is always buying me things but I haven't really done so much for him. I thought it was wise to get him something special. He is still not telling me what he planned out but I am not expecting any less.
I smiled and focused back on the game.
I squealed loud as Matthew made a hit. "The guys are on fire"Angela said and took some pics with her phone.
"Coach made them train till they were completely exhausted so I am not expecting any less"Amanda explained and I nodded agreeing with her. I didn't bother asking how she knows that because it's damn obvious. I haven't really been spending much time with Asher because of practice.
I glanced at my phone to check the time. The game was ending soon and we are on the same point. I watched Ian throw the ball to Matthew with only seconds left on the clock, the tension in the arena was palpable. We held their breath as the Asher took a shot from downtown – and just like that, a game-winning three-pointer sealed the victory! The stadium erupted in applause.
As the opposing team's forward drove to the basket, our team's center deftly executed a perfectly-timed block, sending the shot ricocheting off-course. This crucial defensive play re-energized the team and served as the catalyst for a thrilling offensive run.
I was out of my seat cheering before the buzzer went off. The cheerleaders were also cheering loud and the boys congratulated themselves.
I watched Asher removed his jersey and throw it in my direction which I caught with ease. He winked and jogged off to where coach was addressing the rest. I clutched the jersey and couldn't help but sniff it. His scent was mixed with sweat but it smells good nonetheless. I settled down when my legs felt wobbly still smelling the jersey. I am never giving this back to him. I have three of his jersey now including the one I am wearing. Can't cheer for my guy without wearing his jersey. Someone cleared their throat beside me making me sit up straight. My friends and other people were staring at me like I was a creep. I blushed realizing I was I was behaving like one. I fiddled with my fingers and focused on where the boys were standing. The opposing team already left along with their fans. The boys moved away from coach and I smiled watching Asher make his way over to me. Loud squeals made me turn to the side and I rolled my eyes. Some girls were staring intently at his chest which made me groan.
He is all mine!
They can stare all they want but I am the only one entitled to touch.
I stood from my seat and moved a bit towards him meeting him in the middle.
I wrapped my hands around his torso as if marking him as mine. I kissed him briefly but enough to make every fan girl wishing to be me at that moment. He shook his head amused and chuckled. "When did you become so possessive?"he asked arching an eyebrow as he wrapped his hands around my waist.
"Since you became my boyfriend, it all comes with the package" I replied smirking and he chuckled again.
"It was nice hearing you scream for me baby"Asher said and I blushed. That sounded so dirty. Okay maybe he didn't think it like that but I am thinking it like that. What have I become?
Dirty girl!
"I screamed for every guy on the team" I huffed  and he cocked an eyebrow at me as if to say yeah right.
"Where is the after party?" I asked wanting to change the topic.
"At some club. You and I shouldn't drink anything because we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow"he said and pushed the tendrils of hair falling from the ponytail behind my ear. "Can't wait" I mumbled really excited for tomorrow. "Now go put on some clothes. The glares this people are sending our way or should I say my way is becoming alarming" I grumbled and he laughed.
"That will never change. I am the most wanted guy so you are going to have lots of haters. People are waiting for us to break up so they could take your place"
"Which is never going to happen"
"At least it's not going to be from my side"
"And also mine. We are going to be attending the same college so there is no reason to warrant a breakup"
"You are lucky to have me"
"And you are also lucky to have me"I huffed and he nodded smiling.
"I will be back"he said and kissed my cheek. He jogged out and I stood there smiling. I turned back to see girls glaring at me and I just smirked at them.
I walked back to my seat with my head up high. "Oh come on"Rose groaned and I sighed. "Prom is in few months and I don't have anyone to go with" she added.
"You can go with me"Thomas said and she glared at him.
"You said it yourself 'few months'. Anything can happen in the blink of an eye"Angela piped in and I agreed with her. I saw Olive sitting in a corner and I waved her over. She smiled and made her way over to us. She is well acquainted with my friends so there is no need for introductions. She greeted my friends who also responded well. "Why didn't you sit with us?" I asked as she settled beside me.
"I..just_" she trailed off.
"You are more than welcome to sit with us. Don't forget about the party at Rose's house on Sunday" I said .
"Thanks..for inviting.. me"
"You are a friend. I will need to gist you guys about tomorrow" I said and she smiled. She has grown on me and I feel like we have been friends for years.
"You attending the after party?" I asked and she nodded.
"Ian made me promise to attend"
"Ian huh?" I wiggles my eyebrows at her making her blush.
"You...have..got....to....stop..teasing...me..anytime..his..name.comes.up"she stuttered out and I giggled.
She buried her face in her hair letting out a groan. She got up and walked out.
I chuckled and clutched on to the shirt.
"You are going with Asher right?"Amanda's voice came up beside me and I nodded.
"We are leaving now. Almost everyone has left"Angela said and I looked around. I didn't even realize. "Okay see you guys in a few" they waved and walked out. I walked out after a while noticing there were only a few people left in the stadium. The match wasn't played at our school neither the opponent's.
"Sorry I am late, I was discussing some issues with coach"a hand slung lazily over my left shoulder making me halt.
"No worries" I replied turning to the side smiling. He looked so good in a black sweatshirt and black and white stripes trouser. Finishing the look with a black sneakers. His usual chain is hanging out of his sweatshirt and he has my bracelet on. "I know I look good so you don't have to make a hole on my outfit with your eyes" his voice came up and I looked at his smirking face.
"Your ego needs to be cut down to the size of my fingertips" I grumbled and started walking. "That is one of the reason you fell for me"he said matching up with me easily and putting his hand back on my shoulder. "That is one of the reason I am going to un-fall for you" I blurted and widened my eyes at my words.
Un-fall, really?!
"Seriously, un-fall?"he chuckled amidst the words and I pouted.
"Just unlock this car and let's move" I grumbled making him start a fits of laughter. I folded my hands over my chest waiting for him to finish. He finally cleared his throat and I gave him a look as if to say you're done.
He made his way over to me and pulled my cheeks. "You are too cute and childish"he mumbled and I frowned.
He smirked and ruffled my hair making it stick out of my ponytail. "You are ruining my style" I groaned. He put his hand on my scrunchie and removed it making my hair fall to my back. "You look better now"he muttered and pressed his key to unlock the door.
"I always look good" I pouted and he smacked his lips together shaking his head lightly. "Hey, you compliment me all the time" I groaned entering the car.
"Maybe I do that because it's part of my responsibility as your boyfriend"he put the key into the ignition and I started punching him. "You asshole. How dare you?"I seethed and he held my hands stopping me from continuing my torture.
Like you can injure him with those hands.
Hey!
"Your hands can't do me any damage cupcake"he smirked and I tried to release my hands from his clutch. I groaned when I couldn't succeed.
"I am done" I whispered yelled and he raised an eyebrow.
"Done with what?"he asked and I exhaled deeply. "I am brea_" I was silenced as his lips captured mine. He pulled me to his laps with ease and hooked his hands around his waist. I didn't respond to the kiss at first because I was mad at him for teasing him. His kisses were addicting and hard to resist. I sighed before moving my lips against him. I am sure he is smirking in his head right now. He bit my lower lips as if trying to gain access into my mouth but I smacked my lips together. I can also tease him a bit.
He trailed his hand through my jawline down to my collarbone and I gasped as I felt his hand on my the top of my breast. He pushed his tongue into my mouth and rested his hands around my stomach.
Cheat?!
I wanted to break the kiss but I couldn't muster the power to do it. Each kiss gets better than the former sending my brain frenzy. He is really good at this.
I clutched the front of his sweatshirt trying to pull him closer and I let out a soft moan as our tongues fight for dominance. He won as usual because he knows how to be in control.
He pulled away and rested his forehead on mine. He took deep breaths and opened his eyes. "You were saying?"he cocked an eyebrow and I smacked his arms playfully.
"You did that on purpose" I said with my hoarse voice and he chuckled.
"Cheat?!"I muttered but made sure he heard it. "You could have stopped it but you were moaning instead"he smirked wrapping his hands around my waist.
I blushed but plastered on my face. "You. I.We.I.am.Gosh.Jeez.should_"
"Babe, you are not making any sense"he laughed and I scoffed. I tried to move back to my seat only to find out that my necklace was stuck with his.
"Looks like fate wants you to remain here"he said gesturing to his laps and I rolled my eyes at him. I wiggled around and he groaned putting a hand on my bare thigh to stop me from moving further. I smirked but swallowed when I saw his darkened eyes. "Do you want me to take you right here and now?"he whispered and I gulped.
I ignored and tried to unhook my chain from his. When did this shit even happen?
It takes two to tango.
Shut up!
I breathed a sigh of relief as I managed to unhook the chain and settled back in my seat. "I think it's late to head to afterparty so should I drop you home?"he asked and I sighed.
"What about you? The boys would have been expecting you"
"I just feel tired all of a sudden"
"Oh sorry"
"Besides, we have a big day ahead of us"he mentioned again smiled and I couldn't help the smile tugging at my lips.
"Just drop me home"I replied and he started the car after we buckled our seatbelts. I turned the radio and kept changing it until I got the station they were playing songs.
Body by Tion Wayne,Ardee...
I tapped my finger on my lap to the beat but couldn't resist the urge to rap along.
Bah (mm-mm), yo E-E-English girl named Fiona Big batty girl named Abiola (mm-mm) Body-ody shaped like Cola (bah) Back up, back up, bring it to the owner.
"Stop. You are hurting my ear"Asher shrieked and I rolled my eyes.
"Deal with it Ashy" I replied and giggled at the new nickname. He scoffed and I smiled.

"Girl you can't sing not to talk of rapping"he said and I gasped.
"You call this magical voice shit?" I pouted putting a hand on my heart.
The faster you accept you can't sing, the better.
"Babe, you know you sound like a croaking frog"
"Wow" I said clenching my fist. I can't wait to get to my house because I need my bed right now.
"You just like riling me up" I grumbled and he chuckled.
"You just hit the nail on the head. Your reaction is priceless each time"
"So you have said" I said with a fake smile. I sighed in relief as he drove into my familiar neighborhood.
"Finally" I mumbled and I saw him roll his eyes through my peripheral view.
"You have done nothing but annoy me today. You have exhausted me physically and mentally. You_"I stopped realizing how that sounded.
"Wait till you stay underneath me before you utter that" he smirked and I blushed.
"I hate you" I mumbled reaching from the door knob.
"I like you much"he replied and I got out to hide my smile. He honked few times as I stepped on my front porch. I unlocked the door and entered.
Idiot! He knows how to push my buttons.
I can't stop liking him.
I headed straight for the bathroom wanting a cool soothing bath.
I like you much.
I smiled knowing I lo_
What?!
I definitely don't like like like him.
