He's The One

Chapter 7~ I Don't Miss It

John POV
~~~~~~~

Delilah's been avoiding me all week. It sucks. I thought that when I started working here as the coach that we'd get some more lip time. But I guess not.

I was practicing with the varsity boys when she and Cece walked in. Cece waved and smiled at me. I smile back while Delilah avoided all eye contact.

They walked into the girls team room and I went back to watching the boys.

"No. No. STOP!" I yell. "While Daniel is passing the ball to Omar, you go to the block and wait for the pass." I say to Thomas.

He nods and wipes his sweat. "Go." I say and they start the play again.

I can barely focus since Delilah walks out of the team room with her volleyball uniform on. Whoever created volleyball shorts is the real mvp. Her ass shakes and sways while she walks to the left wing of the gym. Cece walks out with the same uniform but with number 12. Lilah is 13 for volleyball and basketball.

My favorite number. Cee is 12 for basketball and volleyball.

They begin practicing. Probably waiting for the other varsity girls. They're so good that they were freshmen in varsity.

Delilah laughs when Cece can't hit her Lilah's spike. It was too fast. "Coach ?" I hear the boys say.

"Yeah ?" I say snapping out of my little mantra.

"What do we do now ?" Brandon, their team captain says. "Everybody on the baseline." They all walk over, knowing that walking is not acceptable on the court.

"2 suicides just for walking." I say and they groan and begin jogging. "SPRINT!" I yell and they all start sprinting.

Delilah POV
~~~~~~~~

After basketball tryouts me and Cece begin to get ready for volleyball practice. Tryouts were over the summer but I'm already captain as well as Cece.

She waves to John while we walk to the team room to get changed.

"When does practice start ? I forgot to check the schedule." Cece says while putting on her volleyball shorts.

"At 4:30. But it doesn't hurt to be early." I say while putting my knee pads on. "Did you bring your volleyball ?" I say while taping my ankle.

"Yeah." She says and takes it our of her sports bag. We put our bags and basketball stuff in our lockers and walk out. I feel John staring at me but I don't look back.

When I spike the ball to Cece she dives for it but doesn't get it. "Damn. You were working out this summer ??" She laughs.

"Heck yeah. Check out these guns." I joke around while flexing my arms.

"2 suicides. GO!" I hear John yell and we both turn to see the guys running. Thomas winks at me while jogging. I blush and smile.

"SPRINT!" John yells and they all sprint. Thomas finishes first and winks at me again. I laugh and wave at him. John sees and anger pools in his eyes.

"Since you don't wanna pay attention Thomas, give me 5 down and backs." He screams. Thomas sighs and begins sprinting.

Really ?! Just because a cute guy likes me and is flirting with me he gets mad and punishes him ?? And for no reason.

I jump down from the left wing and walk over to John. This has to stop.

But I stop when Thomas makes it back in time to talk to me when he stops at the baseline and goes back to the other side sprinting.

"Hey Lilah, I was wondering....." He sprints to the other side and comes back. "That when my practice finishes......." He goes again. "I can get your number......" And again. "And we can go out sometime." he goes for the last time and comes back. John asks for a water break and Thomas walks over to me and I smile.

"So. Is that a yes or a no ?" He breathes out. "Of course. I would love to go out with you." He grins and kisses my cheek while I blush and goes over to get water.

I've known Thomas for a while now and he's awesome and funny.

I walk over to John and drag him to the left gym lobby. "what the hell was that." I scream at him. "Why are you flirting with my players." "Because he's cute and he actually wants to be with me. Not keep me a secret!" I say

He gasps and looks down and to the side. Anywhere but face.

"I really want you Lilah." He whispers and looks into my eyes and caresses my check with his thumb. "What ? Did Megan say no to you again ?" I snap.

"Yeah, but that's not the reason. Don't you miss it ? Miss us ?" He says and kisses me.

He grabs my ass and I moan. But I pull away. "No. No. I won't do it this year. I don't miss it. I don't miss you. Just go back to your hoe bag." I scream and wipe his delicious mouth's taste from my lips.

I walk back in the gym and write my number on a piece of paper. I walk over to Thomas drinking water. And slide the paper into his pocket. "Here you go." I say seductively and wink while walking away.

I hear his friends whistling and whooping at Thomas and I.

I see Cece practicing her sets when I get back. "Hey. Where'd you go ?"

"A lot just happened."
