Alexa's POV
I walk into the gym and drop my bag on the floor, and look around. I wouldn't wanna be anywhere but here, with my team. I showed up about an hour early to get some shots in. I pulled my shoes out of my bag and put them on. I practiced my free throws and 3 pointers. As usual they went in, what can I say? I'm a natural!
I guess I didn't notice they guy in the bleachers until he started in my direction.
"You've got talent girl."
"Thanks. Who are you?"
"Oh yeah," he reached out his hand "I'm Taylor."
I reached out and politely shook his hand. "Alexa."
He stared at me for a second, his eyes seemed to be reading me, like a page in a book. Almost studying me. He had a beanie on over his hair, but you could easily tell it was brown. He was a very attractive guy. "How about some 1 on 1?" He asked with a smirk.
I began to dribble the ball down the court to the other basket, and I got about to half court when Taylor caught up to me. He ran around the side of me as I approached the 3 point line. I took a shot, then another, then three more. I could tell how impressed he was, by the smile spreading across his face.
Coach & the rest of the team walked into he gym at that time.
"I'm guessing thats your team?"
"Yeah." I at them then back to him, "Stay for the game?"
He just looked at me and smiled, and went out into the hallway, making his way to the concession stand. We started running our warmups as the other team filed out onto the other side of the court.
Taylor's POV
I made my way back to the gym, with twizzlers and a Gatorade (for Alexa, she deserved it) finding my way through the crowd, I approached Alexa as she was heading to the locker room to get the play sheets.
"Yo, Alexa! Wait up!"
"Taylor! You staying?"
"Yeah, I got you a gatorade."
"Oh my gosh man thanks!" She grabbed it from my hand, and when she touched my hand, there was something. Like a shock, or static electricity. Maybe I was going crazy?
"Listen, I Gotta go back out to the court, but stop by the coaches room after the game?"
"I'll be there" I said as she jogged off to the court, and I made my way back to my seat.
*skip the game, they win 32-18*
Alexa's POV
"WE ARE THE LIONS, HEAR US ROAR! ROOAAAARRRRR!" the team chanted as Abbie and I held up the trophy in the middle of the crowd. Lions, once again champions (for the 3rd year In a row) forever undefeated.
I made my way to the coaches room to find a very excited Taylor leaned up against the wall.
"Well hello there champion!"
"How do I respond to that?"
"By texting me after the dinner with your team?"
"Smooth one Taylor." I held out my hand, Asking for his phone "The dinner is tomorrow, but you can text me tonight." I handed him my phone and he put his number in, and saved his name as taylor🐻😍 then I
said goodbye, and headed out to my car.
*that night*
I got out of the shower, and put on leggings and a tank, and laid down on the couch. I texted Taylor, since he hasn't texted me yet
