Lovers But Not Lovers

Chapter 26- Boyfriend

"?**Desiree's POV**
Yesterday was crazy. Did Sal just tongue fuck me?. No way right?.

Anyways.

Today is Wednesday which means practice. Yeah, the basketball team practice has been on hold since and then now we have our coach back.

Apparently the dude travelled for his honeymoon and just got back. And tbh, this nigga fine as hell.

There is no female basketball team because most females in my school just love watching the guys play and think it's not girly to be seen on a field.

So today, I'm gonna watch Sal and the guys play. Harden has been coming to our school for three days  now and we are getting pretty close.

I am dressed in a fitted high waist black jeans  and a cow neck crop top with a white sneakers.

I get to school by 7:30am and classes went by quick. Thank the universe.

Soon, it was time for the basketball game and everyone was on their way to the court. When I got there I saw the girls seated and I went to sit next to them., making eye contact with Sal.

The game commenced and soon the score board was showing 56:62. 56 was Dertyl Highschool and 62 was us the Red dogs highschool.

We were winning again. Soon it was a tie of 68:68 and our school had the penalty play. I don't know of it's the same term in basketball but whatever..

Soon, the ball was handed over to Harden and instead of shooting it he looked at me.

"Desiree Dion. If I make this play, you will grant me my wish". He ten turned back and threw the ball in the basket and at the same time saying " Be my girlfriend".

And just at that the ball went directly into the basket and everyone started shouting, happy that we won..

WTF, just happened?.

I was still shocked and the girls were looking at me. I just stood up and left the arena.

WTH?. Did I just get proposed to?

I just hastily went to the class and got my bag to leave then I heard someone walking in on me.

"Des, hold on". Oh it's Harden!.
"WTH, Harden?. How can you ask me to be your girlfriend?".

"I'm sorry. But please give me a chance". He said, looking at me.

I didn't want to say yes. Not because I don't love him but because I can't love him the way I love Sal.

Wait?  Did I just say I loved Sal?. No way!. But I knew that the way I felt with Sal I can't feel it with someone else. Or can I?.

"Fine. But you mess up, I leave. And after breakup we are not going to ruin our friendship". I said in a breath.

He smirked. "Sure thing princess". He said.

I heard that name before.

Right. Sal!.
But the way Sal said it made it sound so freaking special..

I nodded and turned to leave. Wait, speaking of Sal. He must be seething.

I shake my head slightly and leave.

***Sal's POV**
We were winning by 6 points, I mean game was good, we were winning, my best friend is present. Could this day get any better.

At some point Dertyl was catching up with us and soon we were even. After few penalties loses for Dertyl it was our turn.

The ball was handed over to Harden but he delayed instead of shooting and then I heard him call out Des and telling her to grant his wish if the ball entered the basket.

Then the ball entered and at the same time I heard the words I was scared of it coming out of someone's mouth and referring to Des.

I mean she's pretty so hell yeah, the fear is valid. But why?. Shes my best friend, right?.

Shes more than your best friend you fool, don't you know how you look at her like she's your best and only meal. You literally have to shower with cold water every day after school because you remember how her thigh was looking at you.

My mind haunted me. I shook my head to get those thoughts out.

I looked at the bleachers to see if she's still there but no, she's gone.

I go after her and then I see her and Harden talking. He asked her to give him a chance and she said yes.

She said a freaking yes..

I turned to get my bag and also go to a specific someone's house and talk to a specific person and also sniff a little part of that specific person.
