Chapter 88
Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel
Chapter 88 Seat Swapping Logan splashed cold water on his face in the restroom and looked at himself in the mirror with red eyes.
He knew he had not played well or given his all in this match.
It wasnât that he didnât want to do his best, but he just couldnât. He felt bored and lacked passion for the game. whenever he thought of Jared and Makenna not coming to watch the match.
âLiar, didnât they say they would come here?â said Logan. In a rage, he pounded his fist on the washbasin, and tears slowly welled up in his eyes.
Suddenly, his mobile phone rang.
Logan took a deep breath to calm himself. He took out his phone and answered, âHello?â
âLogan, itâs almost time for the third quarter of the game. Are you ready?â asked a teammate.
Logan replied listlessly, âYes.â
âThen hurry back.â
His teammate hung up the phone after saying that.
Logan kept his phone and headed out.
Just as he stepped out of the washroom, someone called to him, âWhat the hell are you thinking?â
That voice!
Logan was surprised when he noticed Jared leaning against the wall next to the washroom. He exclaimed. joyfully, âJared, youâre here?â
Jared just looked at him.
Logan sniffed, his voice slightly choked, âWhen did you come? I thought you werenât going to show up.â
*Iâve promised you to come see the game. I apologize for being late because of the traffic.â Jared said while rubbing his hair.
Logan stepped backwards and said proudly, âStop it. I am no longer a child.â
Jaredâs lips curled up, âOkay, big man. Tell me why you were off form in the game? I know youâre more capable than that.â
âIt was all your fault,â grunted Logan, âYou didnât come to support me.â
Jared raised his eyebrows.
He thought that Logan didnât perform well because he was preoccupied with something.
He never expected Amber and him to be the causes.
214 âYou play that worse because Amber and I arenât here. You were so childish,â said Jared with a bit disapproval.
Logan retorted, âThis is my first legit game and I had been looking forward to seeing you guys here... Wait! Jared, how did you know I had invited Amber? I remember I didnât tell you, did...â
His eyes were filled with joy all at once.
Jared was amused, âIt was what you wished for. She was here too.â
âThatâs great!â Logan said while clapping his hand.
âSo, for the next game...â
âI know, Iâm going to give it my all and win the match!â Logan interrupted him with a very firm tone.
Jared nodded in satisfaction before adjusting back to his serious face again and saying, âVery good, remember what you promised me. Also, I hope that what happened today does not happen again in the future. If youâre still dejected the next time just because we didnât come for your match, I advise you to listen to Shonna and stop playing basketball.â
âI wonât,â promised Logan.
He was being disappointed because this was his first game..
But he would never do this again.
âThatâs good. Letâs go, the next match starts soon,â said Jared while patting Loganâs shoulder.
âThen Iâll go first.â Logan waved his hands before darting away.
After Logan was out of his sight, Jared put his hands back in his pockets. Then, he turned around to return to his seat.
The third quarter of the game started. Logan swept away his gloom from the first and second quarters. Being highâspirited, he was able to break through the opponentâs defense as if he was on fire. Soon, he scored.
He jumped and waved to the audience.
The crowdâs enthusiasm was immediately revived and they cheered.
Amber smiled, âLooks like he has recovered. What did you say to him?â
She was the one who initiated the conversation.
Jaredâs eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly calmed down and said, âHe couldnât do his best in the previous game because we werenât present.
Now that he knows we are here, he can do his best.â
Amber was shocked and added, âThis was the reason?â
âYes.â Jared nodded.
Amber muttered, âSo childish.â
Jared snickered.
Logan was indeed childish.
After that, they both remained silent and watched the game.
In comparison to the bustling around them, they appeared to be too quiet.
However, they stood out from the crowd because they were both goodâlooking people.
Because of their attractive appearances, some online streamers who was doing livestreaming among the audience had noticed the two and pointed their cameras at them. Those who watched the live stream were ecstatic to see them.
âWow, the man was so handsome, and the lady was so pretty.â
âAre they a couple? They looked good together.â
âAm I the only one who thinks they look familiar like I have seen them before?â
There were numerous discussions like this. However, it didnât last long because the anchor moved the camera away just as the game was about to end.
Logan was on fire. He brought his teammate back to tie the game, and he was almost there. The atmosphere in the court was extremely tense.
Everyone focused their attention on Logan, and some of them even held their breath and clenched their fists.
Logan threw the basketball in front of the audienceâs eyes.
As the crowd had hoped, the basketball went into the basket.
The score on the scoreboard read 70-68 after the whistle.
The national team had overtaken Country K!
âHooray!â The spectators jumped up and down in excitement.
A man beside Amber were jumping in exhilaration as well, until he collided with Amberâs shoulders. Amber was thrown into Jared by force.
Jared grabbed her shoulders with both hands and stabilized her before asking, âAre you ok?â
Amber sald with a shake of her head, âIâm fine. Thank you, Jared.â
âYouâre welcome.â Jared let go of his hands.
When Amber sat back, the audience beside her hopped up again.
He hadnât bumped Amber this time, but he had hit Amberâs crutch, which had fallen on a place out of Amberâs reach.
Amber was angry when she saw this.
How did she pick it up!
Jared stood up just when Amber was about to seek help from the personnel. He walked down the aisle and picked up the crutch for her. He then passed her the crutch and said, âHere.â
Amber looked up at him with surprise and took the crutch while saying, âThank you.â
Jared gave a hint and swept his eyes to her cast foot, âIs your foot better?â
âItâs getting better and less painful now.â Amber shifted her crutch to the opposite side so it wouldnât be knocked off again.
Jared understood her movement and said, âLetâs change seats.â
Amber paused for a moment before shaking her head and saying, âItâs ok, this seat is fine.â
âThe match isnât over yet, and Logan was just getting into his stride. Iâm sure the crowd wonât calm down for the time being. Are you sure you wonât get bumped again if you sit here?â Jared said while glancing icily at the audience next to her.
Amber remained silent.

âThen, thank you, Jared.â Amber held her crutch under her armpits with a faint smile. She was about to get up to change the seats.
However, Jared scooped her up into a bridle carry and put her in his place before she could stand up.
Amber was stunned and her face flushed, âYou...â
Jaredâs eyes flashed and he said softly, âYouâre too slow. Iâm afraid you will block the view of other audiences.â
Amber could only say thank you through her gritted teeth after hearing this.
Jared smiled when he saw her stifled annoyance. He then sat in her seat after returning a âNot at allâ to her.
