Illegal Moves

Chapter 9

I walk out of Aleks classroom a moment after he did. If he was going to act like this I just wouldn't come to his class anymore. I would simply skip it. I know that he likes me and enough that he doesn't care about the law. Well I also cared about him enough to not want to get him in trouble. Was there anything wrong with that? Apparently there was with him.
I walk down the opposite hall as him. Right now I didn't want to be near him at all. It was lunch time and I didn't feel like eating at the moment. I walk to the gym instead.
I played basketball in a small town league when I was in seventh and eighth grade and a freshmen but I haven't played since then because the ranch took over my top priority.
Thank goodness the gym was empty. The ball rack was still out. I grab a girl's ball and start shooting free throws. I made seven of ten and then moved to freely shooting threes. I was pretty good my freshman year. It all flowed back into me. I drained by first three. Then the next. I moved to corner of the court at the three line. I thought these shots were the hardest. I lift the ball and release it. I splashes threw the net. Just then someone else ball splashes threw as well. I rebound mine and then look to see who else was with me.
Once I see them, for a split second I thought about being snarky but that never got me anywhere with him. "Um, I was just, uh, I can leave," I suggest shyly, looking down at the ground.. What the shit? Since when was I shy.

He ignores my statement. "You're a natural," Aleks says in his sexy tone, although he isn't smiling like he normally is when he talks that way. In a way it makes him even hotter when he doesn't smile.
I decide to just try and carry on a conversation with him. "I've played before," I say with a shy smile.
"You should join the girl's team, they could use you," He still wasn't smiling.
My slight smile fades immediately. Like I have time to be on a basketball team. I just give him a dirty look.
"Oh sorry I forgot," Now he definitely wouldn't smile. He stares at the ground. I am standing behind the three point line, closest the the basket and he was a little behind the ten second line. It was weird talking so far apart. I turn away from him and shoot another three.
This time it hits the front of the rim and bounces right back at me. I never could make shots when I wasn't focused. I move to the top of the key and shoot the ball again. It bounces off the backboard too hard and bounces away from me. I start to jog to go after it but Aleks pulls my arm and swings me around right into him. He must have gotten closer as I shot those last two shots.
"I don't want things to go back to normal," He says and grabs my face and buries his lips into mine.I had seen this coming. Immediately I kiss him back. I could do this all day. I put my hands on his waist. He deepens the kiss and it soon escalates to a real hot, steamy make out session. I couldn't get enough of his lips. They always tasted of strawberry, the gum that he chewed, but today they tasted of mint. I like that even better. It was a good thing I hadn't gone to lunch and eaten. Our tongues had intertwined long ago. I break the kiss to get some air.
"We... won't... get... in... trouble..." He says in between breaths. We were both breathing really hard. Actually we would get in trouble if we kept doing this here. I look over my shoulder. The coast was clear. I stand on my tippie toes and kiss him lightly and quickly. I start to walk towards my ball.

"We will if we keep doing this here," I motion around the gym, the school. I'm about to pick up my ball when Aleks throws his at mine and pushes both of them all the way across the gym. He walks towards me and pulls at my waist. I let him pull me to him and I put my hands around his neck. I playfully run my fingernails across the back of his neck and his hair. He shudders and leans down to close the space between us. He kisses me quick and fierce and then the bell rings. He starts to turn towards the gym doors at the front of the gym. I pull his at his hand and he turns back around. I don't risk kissing him because kids could be coming to gym class.
"Fine, you win, things won't go back to normal. But," I pause for a second. "If we get caught, it's not my fault," I say in all seriousness. He tries to pull me closer but I don't budge. No way am I letting people see us like this.
He frowns. "You're making it sound like this is wrong,"
"To the government it is," I say cracking a smile. "All I'm saying is that we can no longer have a hot, sexy, makeout session like the one we just had, here at school," I think for a moment. "or anywhere in public," that makes me frown, thinking that we have to stay secret. Still hand in hand he pulls me closer but doesn't pull me in for a hug.
"We'll make it work," and then he does pull my in for a hug. He rests his chin on my head. After a moment he squeezes me and then releases me. Right after he releases me, students start to file into the gym. That was close. Just then the bell rings. Crap I was late. If I was already late I just wouldn't go to that class. "Shit, I better go," He mutters. He walks away. I watch him go. He turns back around. "Meet me in here after school. There's somewhere I want to take you," I can feel my face light up. "Don't get too excited, it's not very exciting." he replies and walks out of the gym.
