" knowing nothing in life, but i gotta get rich. you can check the throwbacks, i've been that bitch ." y/n sang out as she did her hair.

sharife slipped on his shorts and sang with her, " imma hot girl, i do hot shit."

y/n laughed to herself as turned off the hair straightener. sharife came behind her and grabbed his jersey. " you look good ."

y/n smile widened , " thank you ."

" you ready ?" she nodded. her and rife were going to meet the rest of the team at the gym.

sharife and y/n headed out the hotel lobby, and into the uber. they said their hellos and took a ten minute drive to the gym.

they entered the building and went to court five. y/n sat on jalens bench chair as she watched rife change his shoes. the other team had just came.

" you'll do good ." y/n stood and gave sharife a hug. he nodded and hugged her back.

jalen and josh walked over , "aht where's mine?"

y/n hugged jalen, then josh next. she wished them luck as their warmup time ended.

sharife showed out in front of her. " sharife cooper with a three !" y/n smiled and kept her eyes on him.

they played well , las vegas elite was killing it. y/n cheered the boys on after halftime. " cmon rife !" she screamed for him.

he caught the pass from josh and dunked . everyone cheered. " that's my rife !" sharife smiled as he heard her call out for him.

the next few moments were full of dunks made by jalen, a few ankle breakers by rife, and threes by josh. y/n and the crowd cheered on for them.

as the buzzer rang , vegas elite and everyone supporting them ran to the floor jumping in excitement. their first game of the season was a complete dub.

sharife wrapped his hands around y/n's waist as they hugged. she didn't want to let go, but had to go congratulate the other boys.

" told you you'll do great ." y/n smiled at rife then turned around to talk to jalen.

jalen hugged her, " we did it !" josh saw and went in for a group hug. sharife followed along.

" okay , okay. off of me , you guys are sweaty ." y/n tried to pry away from the boys' arms.

josh put his arm around her , " ah you love us ."

" yeah , but you sweat too much . you should get it check out or sumn ." she took his arm off of her shoulder. sharife laughed and went to fix his shoes.

the three and the rest of the team went back to their hotel room. tonight was their last day before having to go to las vegas.

" food on me ?" jalen announced as he and josh stepped into the twos room.

sharife looked up from his phone , " sounds like a plan ."
y/n nodded in agreement.

she grabbed her bag before leaving down to the elevator with them. sharife put his arm around her. " aye , that's my lil sis ."

" i know ." jalen shook his head in disapproval, but he let the two live. as of course, he wouldn't suspect them two come out as a couple.

y/n smiled and looked up at sharife. he looked at her for a second a smiled back. the elevator took them down to the lobby.

they exited the hotel and went out into the streets of hollywood, ca. " where are we going kids ?" josh looked back at everyone.

" let's walk around and see what we want ." y/n suggested and they went along with it.

— 8:45pm

they all got back from dinner and went into their separate rooms. sharife took off his shirt and laid on his bed. " i'm tired , today has me burnt out ."

y/n chuckled , " me too ." she spoke as she changed out of her jeans into shorts. y/n knew sharife was respectful enough and closed his eyes.

" you should lay with me ." y/n turned around to see sharife  with his hands covering his eyes. as she suspected he was going to do so.

y/n put her jeans on her bed and walked a few steps over to sharife. she got onto the bed and cuddled onto his chest.

" i know by next year , you're definitely going somewhere bigger ." she smiled and closed her eyes.

sharife smiled at her words. she was everyone's favorite and biggest supporter. " i'm taking you with me ."

" as you should ." y/n joked. sharife shook his head, laughing at her response.

" of course i would ." he laid his head on hers and closed his eyes. " you're really warm ." the hotel rooms ac felt as if it was on blast, even though it was barely on.

y/n hummed, she was too tired to respond. sharife didn't hear a response back expect for her hum, he suspected she was asleep.

after a moment or two, small faint snores came from y/n. sharife grabbed the blanket and readjusted making sure she wasn't cold.

" goodnight y/n ." sharife kissed her forehead and closed his eyes again.
