My sister Chanelle had dragged me over to watch the Timberwolves play their first game, we've been planning to watch a game since we moved to Minnesota our parents live in California up Palo Alto it's a beautiful scenery but as much as we loved it there we moved to Minnesota because we just needed some air and some sister time, we took lots of risks like parting from our loved ones and friends. We got over it after a year or two

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"You look great" My sister spoke dusting off invisible dust

"Thanks" I grinned

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀" Oh c'mon you'll meet someone incredible there that'll want your number I bet you that" She tapped my shoulder looking at the mirror with me

"Chanelle that's never happened, be realistic" I laughed a little

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Girls we're going to be late, we're VIP don't forget" My sister, Pia peaked in

I nodded and grabbed my phone along with my black céline purse. I smiled as we got out of the car, looking at myself in the mirror fixing my face a little my sister nudging me I rolled my eyes sighing "Oh alright fine" I stomped on inside with them

"Don't be stubborn you're 19" Pia disciplined

"Okay mom" I teased

The VIP bodyguards escorted us to our seats, front row. I'm excited to view Pia's face getting hit with the ball me and Chanelle on the other hand got used to it with our older brothers tossing it at our faces every Saturday morning as I can remember. I sat down and placed my purse under the chair telling them I am to use the ladies powder room.

I got back and there was only 56.8 seconds left before the game started, I hurried on and sat right in time for the introduction. The national anthem was sang and they started the game off with a jump
ball.

I cheered and yelled excited, this is tempting it's incredible! My eyes was glued to number 8, he looked perfect against the light, his face was overwhelming and his passion for the game - the sport was so, it was so visibly seen. I smiled at him as he did the same waving at me, even the Shaquille O'neil had announced it: Oh look at that Zach LaVine just waved and smile at that young lady in the front row seat with that uhm Céline purse, you know I bought my wife one of those. And the camera was onto me. I blushed heavily feeling the heat on my cheeks my sisters staring at me in a special awkward way. It was half time and a certain amount of people were chosen to play up the courts and I for one was one of them, well I was the only one since I was requested to make a three point shot.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Can you shoot from the three point line for me?" One of the refs said but it wasn't the ref, it was someone in a higher position.

I nodded and watched the few guys at the other court shoot I smiled, I could feel the guys from both team stare at me. I grasped the ball and dribbled it while I jogged in my louboutin heels I stopped at the three point line in between the corner and the middle shooting it with my leading hand, I made it in.
Chanelle ran over and we did our handshake

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Did you get that P?" I asked looking down at her

"That was incredible everyone saw" She clapped her hands

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Why thank you, I shall go to my powder room in the VIP since we only have five minutes to spare" I sophisticatedly walked out towards the restroom

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1
The buzzer buzzed

I stood up as number 8, Zach LaVine made the buzzer beater. I clapped and screamed Whoo

As the game ended I turned around to grab my purse and a little surprise came through as I turned back around, I could feel my face reddened, my mouth smile I worried if my breath stank.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"So you were rooting for us I see with the balloon thing, that was a great three point shot by the way for a girl in high heels." His long sentence never bored me

"Yes, I've been watching the Wolves play for a pretty long time, not that long I'm only 19... and oh uh thanks" I looked up to him, he was a 6"5 man, I'm a 5"8... crazy

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Oh really? Well we have a few things in common, we're a wolves fan of course I would be since I play for the team and the age, I'll be twenty in-"

"March 10th" I smiled

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"So listen, I find you real interesting so is there a chance if I could ask you out on a date?" He towered over me his eyes connected to mine

I nodded twice or even more I don't remember because all I heard was ask you out on a date "That'd be amazing"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I'd need your number and your name for that" He bit his lip, what a slick move

He handed me his phone, I could tell he planned this out I laughed "How many girls have you done this to, you seemed prepared"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"One, you're the first... I might've thought it out in half time" He shrugged as I punched in my number

"Can I-" He cut me off

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Of course" He took my phone handing it to my sister

"Olivia, Olivia James" I walked on out with my sisters glancing back at him

The morning after I received notifications from twitter and instagram about me and Zach, I couldn't help but smile. Their rumors are so cute

PerezHilton.com : Looks like Olivia James got herself a 6 foot 5 shooting guard boyfriend! The 19 year old Zach LaVine repeatedly smiled and waved at the young lady during his free throws when he was fouled 4 times on the game against the Houston Rockets that lost against the Wolves! What happens after this on screen love?

PeopleMagazine: 19 year old shooting guard of the Minnesota Timberwolves Zach LaVine and a mysterious unknown girl. Insiders say that LaVine asked for her number, is it the number he asked for or a date?? Either way it's going the right way!

My phone buzzed, reading it as
Zach LaVine🏀👑

- Goodmorning Olive⛅️🌝

Wow emojis very visual, I like that. Goodmorning too you too Zach

- Oh thanks, so listen that date

Yeah what about?

- You me date pick you up at 6 or 5 or some appropriate time around that. We're going to a restaurant called Panino, they don't just have it Beverly Hills you know😉

Yeah I know, I've lived in the south for a few myself👌

- You and me, you get me

On that date we talked about each other, what sports we played, our likes and dislikes, our family stories all embarrassing tales it was an amazing night I didn't think I'd actually have a basketball players number and also go on a date with him, this is beyond my expectations I love it! It's so unexpected. I had a great time with him and he even said it to me before I could.
