32. Should I be worried?

I was humming as I poured yoghurt in my bowl and then grabbed the cereal pack. I felt a pair of hands creeping in to wrapped themselves around my waist. My breath hitched and I nearly dropped the pack. My body froze as Amir rested his head on my shoulder.

"Good morning." He breathed out. I smelled his shave cream, deodorant and minty breath all together.

"G-g-good morning." I managed to utter.

What is going on now?

Ya Allah he probably saw the paper. I felt my cheeks heating up.

"What are you eating?" He face moved closer so that our cheeks was pressed together.

"Cereal." I moved my hand that gripped the pack and started to pour some in the bowl with the yoghurt.

"Want me to make you some?" I continued, I don't want to act shy around him and our relationship to change. Just how we were before.

He shook his head and whined "No I want to eat yours."

I scoffed "get your own honey." As soon as that word left my mouth I grimaced. Dammit.

I felt his smirk on my cheek. "Honey? I like that. Call me that from now on."

"In your dreams, now let me go I'm hungry." I wiggled myself for him to loosen his grip on my waist but didn't work.

"Not until you give me a spoon of that."

He hugged my waist even tighter.

I sighed, knowing his stubborn head I scoped some yoghurt with cereal and brought it to his mouth. He then ate it from my hands.

"When is your match beginning?"

"10 o'clock." He said while munching.

"How many matches do you have today?"

"Only one at the finals. My team doesn't need to go through the whole process because of our victory last year."

He still held my waist. How long he is going to do that, I don't know. It was 8 in the morning right now. I heard Keith took the gold medal in track while he brought the silver one for me after I ran away.

It's so embarrassing when I think back on it. But thank god my turn was so early in the week. That way I don't have to go to school nor to the tournament for the rest of the week.

I'M FREE!

"You know... I want to eat sometime soon." He smiled and let go. Somehow I felt cold but I might have imagined it.

I went to the dinner table and dropped myself on the chair while I shove a full spoon into my mouth.

"We're going to London next week right?" I said with my mouth full.

"Yeah, excited?"

I bobbed my head "It will be the first time I ever fly somewhere outside the country." I narrowed my eyes playfully. "You have to show me around."

"Don't worry, I have plans for you." He smirked.

"Should I be worried?"

He pinched both of my cheeks. "Maybe."

******

"Wow the stadium is full." Latifa's brows rose up.

"I'm not surprised, I mean the most popular high school teams are playing against each other. No one would miss this match." Sabrinna said, her eyes on the players scanning them.

I hummed and Latifa looked at me weirdly. "What?"

"Don’t you have a banner or something to cheer for your beloved husband?” she asked in a weird voice which made me slap her arm.

“Don’t make me regret I told you.”I rolled my eyes.

I told Latifa and Sabrinna Amir’s and my confession earlier and they can’t stop teasing me, especially Latifa. I turned my attention to the court below us.

The game was starting. If it was another team, I would confidently say that Amir’s team will win.

But Ando’s team is pretty strong, after all they defeated 3 teams to get in the finals so it’s hard to guess who will win.

I watched how Amir’s eyes searched through the crowd while Lucas whispered something in his ear. They both looked serious, their mouths were working and their heads were nodding.

The game began and the ball was in the air. Amir looked huge in that jersey with #10 he was wearing and there was a serious sense radiating from him.

The moments that Amir becomes serious was rare. That shows that he is really into the game. #4 Lucas got the ball first and passed it Amir but before it got in Amir’s hands Ando snatched it and leapted towards the basket. After a heartbeat Amir was in front of him and got the ball.

For the whole game the ball flew from here to there, the players were so fast that my eyes got tired and the whole game was so exciting it set me on the edge.

Both teams were so passionate and I started to root for them. The players in Amir’s team were actually good. I expected a two man’s (Amir and Lucas) team but their teamwork was impressive.

On the other hand Ando looked like he was the only one in his team. If there were people playing with him, they were invisible. The only one who stood out was Ando and still he managed to lose by a few points. No wonder he’s so popular and loved.

The game ended with 79-65 and Amir won. I wanted to scream his name as I jolted up from my seat in happiness but a few girls in front of me squealed loud and fanned their faces.

“Gosh, I love him. Oh my god~ he is sooo handsome.” one of the girls said.

Latifa tried hard not to laugh and Sabrinna had an amused expression on.

I was stunned. I never saw or paid attention to his barbie followers before but I was speechless right now.

After Amir laughed with his teammates and bro-hugged Lucas hard and short, he looked around the crowd like before.

Searching something ...or someone because when he met my eyes he winked and smirked.

I smiled before one of the girls whispered loudly. “Did he just wink at me?!” Then another said “no it was me!” And the saga continued.

I couldn’t hold it in anymore so I bursted out a laugh and Latifa joined in. they’re so cute. I think they are juniors.

******

Amir and Lucas walked towards me as I was waiting outside of the stadium. Sabrinna and Latifa excused themselves leaving me and Keith who joined me later on.

“Good job!” I nodded my head proud.

“Yeah man I was so engrossed in it- I didn’t know you guys were that fast!” Keith snapped and all of us chuckled.

While Keith and Amir bickered, I turned to Lucas who was silently watching them. “Congratulations” I said.

He nodded and said “thank you” without glancing at me and went up to his friends and excused himself before going off with Keith. That leaves me with Amir.

…..ok, what just happened?

I just shrugged it off before Amir said.

“Did you eat?” Amir dropped an arm over my shoulder. As if on cue my stomach rumbled. My face flushed with embarrassment.

I looked up to him and smiled sheepishly.

He barked out a laugh and dragged me to his car.

“Since you won, I’m paying today.” I said.

Amir looked at me with his brows high. “Are okay? Did you hit your head somewhere?”

This son of Adam!

I scoffed “Wow this is what I get when I’m being nice? I take it back.”

He kissed my cheek and whispered “Alright sorry.” he opened the door for me and I slipped in as he did the same.

“Where are we going?”

“Somewhere expensive.” he smirked.
