Andre's POV
We were finally at Camille's house after dropping Lucy off and the gates of her house brought back the nostalgia of the day I brought her home... the day there was a shift in our relationship.
"Thanks for dropping me off even though you didn't have to"
"but I did,my girlfriend drenched you in punch,I needed to know you'd get home okay" I stated with an apologetic sigh, running my hand in my hair "it's fine, at least wash day will be inevitable today" she chirped fluffing her hair,with the street lights casting an orange light on her hair like a beautiful painting.
Gorgeous
I almost punched myself at the thought, thinking another girl was gorgeous was one thing but my brain affirming and admitting it was another
"thank you" she spoke up with a blush making me realize I had not only thought of it but I had said it out loud and my face flushed with embarrassment making her smile showing off her dahlia dimples. Suddenly,I noticed a little cut on her cheek making me frown real quick and my hands reaching for her chin tilting her face to get a better view
"does it hurt?" i barely whispered
"what?"
"the cut on your face,does it hurt?"
"no_ not really,I barely noticed it"
It was definitely Oriena's nails that nicked her face and I wasn't too happy at that thought,my thumb caressed the mark making her hiss in discomfort
"Sorry" she simply gave me a soft smile to my apology as we looked at each other making me hyper aware of our close proximity and my feet took two steps back making her face fall for a brief moment before building back up making me feel bad.
"I should head inside"
"Of course" my answer came with a nod
"Good night Andre Makeila"
"Good night" she turned on her heels to the gates,then I remembered there was little tube cream I carried around for injuries "hold on" with urgency she turned and I opened the car, went for the little compartment by the driver seat and handed it to her "it'll help with the healing and redness"
"don't you need it ?" she asked with a confused face "I can always get another from Lloyd"
"isn't that your manager?"
"that's the one,how do you k_"
"social media,I've seen him in some of your videos"
"Of course" I replied with a smirk that failed to be hidden making her blush, turning swiftly towards the gate once more and I couldn't help but laugh ...an actual laugh.
She is just the cutest thing
Tonight didn't go the way I planned but right in that moment... I wasn't complaining.
Next day
Camille's POV
Not only did I wake up so refreshed but I woke up to a text from Andre
Someone, pinch me !
not only did he ask about my injury but also said he'd see me at practice.
Hell yeah he will!
His message pretty much set the tone for my day as stupid as it sounds from my prayers,to shower, skincare,dress up to greeting my parents with a peck at breakfast to blazing in my BMW to West Hill....I was in such a good mood.
"well aren't you glowing like someone that got laid" Lucy stated at lunch stuffing her face with her dumplings while I scrunched my face in disgust
"some of us just glow without having sex you sick fuck!"
"I'm just saying" she whined stuffing more dumplings in her mouth.
Come to think of it,I haven't actually ever gotten down with anyone like that not because I didn't want to but because I hadn't met someone who made me that comfortable or set the tone for me "where are the boys by the way?" I asked picking up a napkin to clean my chilli stained hands "the gym"
"the gym at 2:50 in the afternoon?"
"they've had their last lecture for the day so, gym and after that boys night at Theo's"
"they make the most impromptu activities" I stated with a laugh at the thought which Lucy laughed in return
"that they do"
*****
Setting my duffel bag on a bench I padded down to meet my supposed teammates making polite acknowledgements when a whistle silenced the court "good afternoon ladies,I'm coach Marsai McKenna;coach of the westhill female basketball club so let's work together to make it to the top alright" with such a tall,built yet sexy posture,face and aura we sure were going to give it our all.
practice kicked off real good but was challenging to keep up making my demure ponytail become a half-assed bun. we were made into pair of four basically practicing basic passes as coach Marsai called it while I was here begging my lungs not to give out on me when I heard the whistle of salvation
"let's take a break" I was overjoyed at her statement as I collapsed on the court floor taking a deep breath when I felt a drop of water on my nose making me open my closed eyes to see I bottle in front of me "hydrate"
my hands took the bottle and gulped it down fast letting out a satisfied sigh
"thank you"
"Of course"
I finally looked up to see Andre with his dark hair flowing freely with a towel round his neck "how was practice?" he asked giving me a hand which I took to lift myself up a bit too quickly making him take a few step back and colliding into his personal place,he didn't let go of my hand as I stared up at those emeralds for eyes.
his hand under my jaw brought me to the present as he gently turned my face to the spot where Oriena had left her autograph "it's less red now but a bit swollen" he observed with his face close to my cheek which almost made me want to bolt to the other end of the room.
gahhh...pls move back!
I suddenly heard a chuckle "you always look terrified when I get close,like something's gonna happen" I whipped my head in surprise to witness the gorgeous smirk that played on his lips as he looked down at me still holding my chin "who said I'm scared?" I bit back looking back at him which made him smirk even more,if anyone told me Andre Makeila was such a tease I would've told them to eat rocks but right now...
his hands left my chin as he took a step back and I could finally breath properly
"I'll see you tomorrow Hazel"
See you tomorrow!!!!
He almost makes me forget I'm supposed to breathe so I can live and he tells me see you tomorrow!!
I watched his tall, muscular frame retreat to the court with confident strides "you look like you want to choke him but I can't tell which one" a random red head whispered beside me making my face redden.
Huhhhh!!
