A Different Kind Of Love Triangle

Chapter 26: Dribble.

30th September 2017, Saturday.

(After most of the classes were over..

I headed to the gym auditorium to see the basketball match..

As soon as I reached my destination, I saw a nervous Aiden standing beside the door.)

"Wazzup!"

(He looked at me and a huge smile crept up on his face)

Aiden: Hey! So glad you could make it!

Nathan: Did you think I wouldn't?

Aiden: It's not that.. but you know, anything can happen.

N was so excited about this but his interview got in the way.

Nathan: That's true, hopefully the interview goes well and he gets the job as a chef.

Aiden: "Junior Chef.. Intern"

(He imitates the way N has been saying it for the past couple of days. I rolled my eyes with a chuckle. A high pitched whistle interrupted us.)

"Okay everyone! On your positions!

Aiden: Oh- That's my cue!

Go take a seat, cheer me for k?

(With that he ran away)

Nathan: Best of luck!

(He yelled back a "Thanks"

I looked around and walked towards the indoor bleachers..

Not really wanting to mingle with people I sat in the farthest place possible..

Well, it was mostly because I was scared that the basketball was gonna smash my face..

Aiden already did it once, I'm not taking any other chances..

Soon the match began..

And not to brag but.. I was the loudest cheerer..

I mean, my boyfriend- *ahem* "unofficial" boyfriend was playing, I had to be that loud..

And it was working for sure, because he looked incredibly happy..

Our team put on a hard fight, but they ended up losing.. which the coach seemed pretty disappointed about but he had a smile on his face.

Aiden's spirit was also pretty down..

After the coach had some talk that I couldn't hear, Aiden jogged up to me, patting his face with a dry towel. His jersey was wet, sticking to his skin..

I'm not really into sweaty bodies.. but when the view is like THAT, I couldn't help but look wide eyed.)

Aiden: The Coach wants us to revise and practice new tactics so it'll be some time till I'm free to go..

Will you stay? The walk from the gym to the dorm is kinda long.. Can we go together?

Nathan: Sure, I'm free.

(He gave me a big grin and ran back..

Only to come back to me after a small talk with the coach)

Oh you're not practicing?

Aiden: Not my turn yet. (He sat next to me with a huff)

I caught you looking at me.. Do I look hot?

(I chuckled)

Nathan: Kind of... I mean, when your chest glistens like that. It's hard not to look..

And don't even mention it sticking to your abs.
