Chapter 268
LILY’S POV♡
Today is Friday, the day I have been dreading. It is the day for Asher’s football game. As much as I want to support him and show him that I love what he is into, I just can’t see the point in me going there. It would just seem weird that a girl who barely goes to a football game would actually come to one today. The game should be starting soon.
And to top it all off, I would have to sit through Shelly and Rebecca’s horrible cheerleading moves. It’s a miracle to me that they are both captains when they can barely dance without toppling over. I mean, from the last time I saw them practicing, it looked like they didn’t improve and that was a few days
ago.
Ring! Getting out of my thoughts from the sudden ring of the bell I got up to leave the classroom, and bumped into a hard body when walking through the hall. Rubbing my sore nose from the impact, I glared at the culprit and wasn’t surprised when Asher’s blue eyes looked at me in amusement. His eyes suddenly turned into fake anger as he snarled at me. “Watch where you are going, freak.”
I lifted my eyebrows in confusion but soon came to realize when he gestured to Shelly and Rebecca, who were approaching us.
“Everything will be okay, baby.” He whispered for my ears only as he looked at me with adoration. They came to a stop before us and smirked cockily. They were already dressed in their cheerleading outfits, which I might add were too revealing. I mean it barely covered their ass.
“Aww look at this, Rebecca, our little miss nobody is trying to gain Asher’s attention.” Shelly said too sweetly as she gave me a once over.
“Yes, looks like little miss tramp is trying to get her claws on your man, Shelly.” Rebecca snarled as she took a few steps closer to me. Asher stopped her by pushing her back forcefully, making her knock into Shelly, who let out a pained squeal as Rebecca accidentally stepped on her feet.
“Shelly, I’ll fucking handle this, get the fuck out!” He yelled, looking at them in anger.
“But why-” Shelly whined.
“GET THE FUCK OUT!” Asher said more forcefully. They let out a huff as they left, their heels clacking loudly as they stomped aggressively. He turned towards me, his eyes holding amusement. Wow, how to change moods. “Didn’t see you there, baby.” He teased, referring to us bumping into each other. It was only us in the halls now, as everyone got ready to go on the bleachers to wait for the game. He stepped closer and rubbed my nose. I swatted his hands away and glared at him in mock anger.
“Oh, sure you didn’t.” I stressed. He chuckled, giving my nose a kiss before backing away a little as a student passed us by. When they were out of sight, he brought his attention back to me.
“You’re still coming to the game, right?” He asked hopefully and bit his lips, something I have noticed he does when he is nervous.
“Yes.” I answered.
His expression turned to mirth as he hugged me, then broke it to give me a soft kiss “Okay well, I have to go meet the guys to get ready, see you there!”
“Bye Ashy!” I teased him, fully knowing that he doesn’t like my nickname for him, that I came up with after a hot night of us having sex.
“Ugh, didn’t I tell you not to call me that?” He groaned
“Yeah, but I’m not listening.” I said, sticking out my tongue.
“Oh, if only I didn’t love you” He groaned, then froze when he noticed the words that came out of his mouth. He looked at me panicking before scratching his hair and told me a quick bye and walked away before I could get a word in.
What just happened? Did Asher just say that he loves me? I know I love him, but was too afraid to say it and I thought that it was too soon, but knowing that he might love me back just gave me enough motivation to say those three words to him.
I made my way to the bleachers and sat at the far back where you could barely notice me. I could see the other team Asher and the guys would be facing and I cringed at how buff they looked. Some guys will surely get injured.

Chapter 268
I was about to pull out my phone to pass time but stopped when the cheerleaders came out to start. They danced somewhat well and shook their asses to entertain people. Finally, Asher and the guys came out, making everyone cheer loudly.
They stopped in the middle of the field and got into a circle. They broke apart and I could spot Asher looking for someone. He stopped when his eyes landed on me and gave me a discreet wink. Looks like he is back to his happy mood. Smiling back at him, I blew him a kiss making him smile. He finally got into his position to start the game.
Thirty minutes into the game, Asher and the guys were winning. I won’t lie when I can tell you that it was so fascinating to see him play. I’m actually starting to like football.
They were currently having a break as the cheerleaders took over. I could tell Asher was exhausted as he removed the helmet to pass his hands through his hair. Ten minutes after watching the horrible dance moves of the cheerleaders, the game started again. Two hours later, Asher’s team roared with victory as they held him up in the air. Everyone in the bleachers stood up including me to clap for them. They put him down and slapped his back as they celebrated their victory. His eyes fell into my own before I saw Shelly make her way towards him. She jumped in his arms and kissed him. He didn’t pull away, making my eyes fill with tears as they struggled to not fall.
My heart clenched when I saw her mouth still attached to his. Not wanting to see anymore, I got up ready to leave. The tears I was holding finally fell asl struggled to breathe. Pushing through people, I looked at them for the last time to see that they broke apart as Asher looked at me in panic. He started making his way to me but I turned around to run through the people to get out of there.
I literally ran to Rose’s apartment and banged on the door. She opened a minute after, looking shocked to see me in this state. I’m sure I looked like complete shit, with tears rolling down my face and cheeks puffy from crying.
“What the hell happened to you?” She asked me to give me a once over for any injuries.
“Ash..” I stumbled, I couldn’t fully say his name as my throat closed up whenever I tried to. Rose eyes lit up in understanding, before gesturing to me to
enter.
“Come in.”
