Unexpected

Chapter 37.

I can hear the sound of men yelling and a bell ringing as Albert reaches a big steel door.

"Thank you for coming to watch my basketball practise." Albert smiles and I give him an excited grin.

"I'm going to watch you play, how cool is that?!" I smile widely and Albert chuckles planting a kiss on my head.

"I have to go to the changing rooms to put my equipment." Albert gently caresses my cheekbones.

"Okay, You just have to tell me where I have to go to watch you playing."

"Or you can come with me..?" Albert gives me a mischievous smile and I try to fight the cheeky grin on my face when I see the glowing humour in his eyes.

"I don't think that would be a good idea.." I tell him with amusement and he laughs.

"Okay, okay! You just have to follow this hall and go upstairs and you're at the stand." He says planting a small kiss on my forehead.

"Okay! I'll be cheering for you!" I tell him and he smiles shyly at me.

I'm walking down the hall and spot a few people talking and taking the same direction to watch the match.

I follow the light of the field and enter in a space with chairs where the field is just below. I decide to lean against the beam waiting to see Albert.

There are some boys just like him, but not so tall and muscled. I'm so lucky to have Albert, he's so breathtakingly beautiful.

My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of a scary man yelling at the centre of the field trying to reunite all the players.

"Okay, ladies! Next Saturday we have a really important game to win." He says blowing on his whistle for the second time.

"Hi, Coach, sorry I'm late." Albert appears in a large sweater with the name 'Ross' on the back. I can't hide the smile that appears on my face when I watch his muscled arms stretching. He's wearing really large basketball shorts and he couldn't look more perfect.

"Next time you won't have any excuse, Ross." His coach warns him with a rude tone.

He looks up at me and I give him a smile. I wanted to wave at him but I'm a little afraid of his coach's reaction.. He's creepy.

"Okay guys let's start with some warm up, no distractions!" He almost yells before blowing his whistle and Albert does a funny face behind the loud noise making me burst into a laughter.

They start running and I sit on a chair that allows me to have a good view of the game. It's so funny an entertaining to watch him this way.

They start to play basketball and I'm always looking at Albert so I can see the movement of his curls when he runs. He looks so focused and he's so handsome. I love how his legs are so muscled and he's constantly grabbing the ball from his opponents.

My thoughts are interrupted by a male's voice beside me.

"Hello, there," A tall boy tells me as I look up at him.

"Hello," I smile.

"Can I join you?" He asks and I want to shut him off and tell him I'm better alone but he's just being nice.

"So.." He says.

"You're a player too?" I ask to try to avoid awkward silences.

"Yeah, I twisted my ankle last week so I can't play."

"Oh, well get better soon then," I politely say.

"Thanks.. So you're here because.."

"I'm watching him.." I answer and the way I look at Albert, my Albert, I feel my heart hammering in my chest.
