Ayeshas POV
I was dressed in white jeans with a classic warriors tee on. My hair was in beach waves and I had a light natural makeup look going on. Nellie was doing the last touches on her hair while I slid my shoes on.
"Hey Ish?" Nellie called from the bathroom.
"Yeah?" I stood up, looking at myself in the full body mirror satisfied with my look.
"What did you do last night since I never made it back?" I walked into the bathroom and leaned on the doorframe. There was no use I lying to her about Stephen coming over.
"Steph came over and just hung out for a little. He didn't stay out to late though." She put her curling iron down and looked at me.
"Just hang out?" She smirked.
I playfully rolled my eyes. "Yes, it's not like we would've done anything else," I slowed down towards the end. "Wait," my breath started to hitch. "Oh my god! No, no, no. This cannot be happening!"
Nellie gave me a look. "What? You're kinda scaring me," she chucked.
"I freaking took your advice!" I whined. She gave me a questioning look. "I kissed him, Nell," I pouted. She bursted our laughing. "I was basically asleep and I just subconsciously did it without even thinking!"
"At least you made a move," she simply said. I could tell she was enjoying this.
"What am I supposed to do?"
"Girl, there's not much you can do."
Well great. Today was his game, and I was forced to see him. I was just going to try and avoid it all costs, but I was just praying he wouldn't bring it up.
Stephens POV
I couldn't help but laugh to myself hearing Dray and KD get hyped. All the boys were in the locker room a couple of hours before tip off, and we were all in high spirits. Even if we were in Cleveland, not playing in our home arena.
"Yo Nick, you better come in clutch today, I know you were with Nellie last night," I teased, sending him a wink. He gave me a smirk and shook his head. The boys were hooting and hollering in the back.
"You too, my man, because the only way for you to know is if you were with little miss Ayesha last night." All the boys started to push me around saying all sorts of gibberish.
"What's the deal with that? Y'all like a thing or something?" Dray asked, anticipating the answer. Well the thing is Dray, I wasn't sure. Especially after last night and how she kissed me. I liked her and the kiss, I just didn't know how or if I should tell her. But of course, I wasn't going to tell him that.
"Let's just focus on the game for now," I replied. But to make them feel the least bit satisfied I sent them a wink.
"All I'm saying is she seems to really like you. She's one of the good ones so don't go ruining things and letting her go," the wise man Klay said. All the boys agreed. Everyone loved Ayesha.
I texted her to come see me before game time for good luck. But I didn't think I was going to bring up anything from last night. Not yet.
Ayeshas POV
My feet echoed through the somewhat busy tunnels under the arena of which soon will be the court a championship would be played on. Everyone I passed was debating on who was going to win and we're betting on all sorts of things. But all I had on my mind was one thing; Golden Boy.
I was on my way to see him right now. I was happy to see him, but yet, I was nervous which was why my step wasn't as quick. But when I saw him, leaning against the wall of where he told me to meet him, that all went away. It had too.
He slowly looked up and our eyes met. A smile instantly formed on his face. "Big day, huh?" I said, finally reaching him.
He chuckled. "To say the least." He readjusted his body so he was fully facing me.
"Well, you got this, so don't even worry," I cooed, leaning one shoulder against the wall.
"I mean, I better. My good luck charm is here today," he said casually, giving me a wink. I smiled trying to hide the blush I had as best as I could.
"What's on your mind Curry?" He looked like he wanted to say something, but was just holding back. Come to think of it, and the answer he gave me, I knew I shouldn't have asked.
"About last night," he trailed off. Before he could say anything else, I spoke.
"Let's not even focus about that right now, you have a game to win," I said, even though I was literally going crazy not knowing what he was thinking. I heard his coach say some words from the other room. "And that's your cue."
"Right," he chuckled, trying to clear the small awkwardness that was still lingering around. "Well, I'll see you after the game, Ish." He started to walk away, but I stopped him by grabbing his hand. He turned around and looked me in the eyes.
"Good luck, Steph." I gave him a small smile and he repeated the action. And without even thinking, I kissed him on the cheek.
.............
"Something is seriously wrong with me," I groaned, plopping into my seat next to Nellie. I must've said it a little loud cause I got some looks from people. Nellie looked over at me and smiled.
"You're love sick!" I rolled my eyes and tried not to blush. "Well I think it's adorable. That's also why I told Nick to say something to Stephen-."
"No you didn't!" I stopped her. She but her lip and slowly nodded her head. I groaned even louder and sunk deeper into my seat. "Soon enough the whole world is going to know I like him and I don't even know how he feels about me."
"You guys haven't talked yet?" I shook my head no and leaned my head onto one hand. "Don't worry, I'm sure he likes you."
"Then why hasn't he said one thing about me kissing him? I mean, that's gotta be something." The arena started to get fuller and shortly it would be tip off.
"You're overthinking it, A. Just talk to him tonight, alright? If he has the same feelings as you then you guys would be the greatest couple ever, and if not it's his loss."
I sighed. "Thanks Nells. I guess I just have to stop hiding my feelings and finally say something."
Third Persons POV
It was the end of the first quarter and things were tense from the start. The fans showed up and showed out, but the Warriors managed to hang on and were only down by 3.
And of course, Steph Curry was on his A game. Already with 15 points. It was almost as if something was igniting the fire in him.
In Steph's mind all he needed was that kiss on the cheek moments prior to the game. That's all the motivation he needed. And knowing that a specific pair of eyes were on him he couldn't help but push it even harder.
That's what led them to their run in the second quarter and have the lead at halftime by 5.
"This game literally has me on the edge of my seat," Ayesha said, rubbing her hands close to her chin. She tapped her foot against the floor and made eye contact with Nellie. "What?"
Nellie chuckled. "Nothing. You're just really into it."
"Aren't you?"
.
Going into the fourth quarter the warriors were down by 7, and the fans of the cavs were going crazy. But that didn't stop the loosing team from making a comeback.
With 3 minutes left the dubs were up by 2. Then 5, 7, 10. And when the clock ran down to zero, the warriors won. They all jumped in the air, dapped each other up, yelling, hollering, dancing, it was nuts.
Ayesha and Nellie jumped to their feet and cheered loudly, high fiving each other. Ayesha's eyes quickly wondered over the now crowded court. Then she met his eyes staring back at her.
As she made her way down to him they never broke eye contact. "Congratulations, champ," she emphasized once she finally reached him.
"It's only cause my good luck charm was here today," he winked at her, and she couldn't help but giggle.
"I'm so proud of you." All eyes and cameras were on them. "You did amazing."
"You ready to celebrate?" Before she could answer, he grabbed her hand and ran towards the rest of the team.
