He's The One

Chapter 1~We Meet Again

"Are you sure you have everything sweetheart ?" My grandma says yet again. "Yes grandma, I have my clothes, shoes, jewelry. Everything."

"Okay sweetie. If I find anything I'll send it to you." She says and hugs me tightly again. "Grandma we'll see each other again. I'll come next summer I promise." I say, hugging her back.

"You promise Delilah ?" I smile at the name she gave me at birth. Mom loved it. "I promise. Now, don't get all sad on me now grandma, it's been an awesome summer." I say still smiling.

"I have something for you. I'm sure you'll remember me forever because of it." She says, and passes me 3 boxes. Each bigger than the next. I open the small one first.

Inside, I find a charm bracelet. There's a mini basketball charm, Jordan's brand symbol, my schools initials, and my favorite basketball players' names. Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving.

I jump up and down. "Oh my God grandma, you're the best!!" I hug her and she points to the other boxes. "Open them." She says with a grin. I open the next one.

Inside I find a sweatshirt. It gets pretty cold in the winter in Cali.

A picture of me dunking on a girl last year in my game shows with the college name I got accepted to for a basketball scholarship. Brown university. I'll start next year, since I'm a junior and graduating early.

"Wow, I didn't think you caught this one!" I say enthusiastically. This is definitely my favorite shot of last season. The winning shot/dunk. I grin holding it up.

"Well hurry and open the last one: we have to get to the airport soon." My grandma says and places the box in my hand.

It's kind of heavy, I open it and see a Jordan's shoe box. "No way." I say and open it to find the Legend Blue 11s.

"Oh my gosh grandma you're amazing !!" I say. I hug her tightly and she hugs back quickly. "We have to make it to the airport. Your mother will kill me if you get there late."

So we stuffed all my bags in the car rode to the airport. "I'll call you every other day just like I used to grandma."

Then I boarded the plane and pulled out my earbuds and iPhone 6+. My mom wanted me to have the latest iPhone, I would've just stuck with the iPhone 5s.

When I turn on my music, I fall asleep easily.

"Oh my God! That can't be my Lilah bear!!" I hear my mom scream before I even see her. Then I see her running towards me with my stepdad in her dust. She hugs me tightly and sways side to side.

"Oh, I've missed you so much. Let's get you home." She says and we get my bags and into the car we went.

"So how was it Lilah bear? Did you enjoy your time with your grandma?" My stepdad asks as he pulls onto the freeway. "Definitely, it was amazing! She really misses you guys though. She wants you guys to come with me next summer, and Tyler too." I say.

"Well we should start planning a visit to her then. I'm sure Tyler will want to bring John as well. God you should see how huge these boys have gotten, it's crazy! And I...." my mom goes on and on but I can't even hear her. Just the thought of seeing John again makes my stomach flip.

"OH SHIT!" Was the first thing I heard stepping through the door. And there he was.

John.

The boy who stole my heart since the first time I met him. Well not literally, but that's how it feels. I started feeling real feelings for him in the 6th grade and he was in the 9th grade. Even though I was still in middle school, everyone knew about him.

Him and my brother Tyler were the only freshmen on Boys varsity basketball. Now they're captains.

When I had finally started high school, John would hang out with me at lunch when I had no one . He would buy me lunch and cookies with a Brisk and we would share, feeding each other and mocking annoying couples who thought they were so cute together and would last forever.

That was until I made varsity Girls basketball and started making friends. Then I was forgotten by him. Except for the daily visits he made to Tyler. But even then he would keep his distance from me, only being polite.

"John! Don't use that kind of language in my home, what did I say!" My mother practically growls at John.

He hangs his gorgeous head like a child being chastised.

"Sorry." He mumbles them looks up at me and grins. "Finally back Lilah." He says huskily and seductively.

"As punishment, you will take Delilah's bags to her room and serve her for the day. No more xbox and play station with Tyler for the day." My stepdad says.

I love my stepdad. But not as much as my real dad.

I grin and begin to walk to my room with John right behind me, carrying the belongings I brought back. I shake my hips a little more, to shake my ass a little in his face. I swear I hear a moan and I smirk at my pettiness.

When we get to my room, he sets the bags down.
And I lay on my bed on my back with my hands crossed over my stomach. John lays down next to me the same.

"I actually missed you Lilah." he whispers. "You probably just missed our benefits of being friends." I whisper back coldly.

We used to be friends with benefits, but he wasn't the one to take my virginity. No, that was a mistake that I try not to think about. We used to make out on my bed and he would... Touch me up. I admit.

"Well that too. But I actually missed you." He says and wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me closer. So close that our chests are pressed together.

He leans in and I do too. His lips lightly mold with mine. And he drags. Hand to my butt and squeezes a cheek before pulling back and getting off the bed.

"How may I be of service to you milady ?" He says coolly.

Only John would kiss me then change the subject so fast.

A/n: so, new book!! And I hope the introduction is cool !!
