His Secret Obsession
Chapter 112

(Asher)

There was one minute left on the clock, the score was tied and I knew this had to be it. This was our rival team and they were putting up one hell of a fight..but we were better.

We just got dealt a shitty card with Seth pulling a hamstring and a few of the other guys getting minor injuries. They were playing dirty and already had four players benched already. I quickly looked left, seeing number 23 glaring my way as I saw Carson steal the ball and I knew I had an opening. I quickly gave Carson the signal and pushed forward, glancing up at the clock, and saw we only had forty seconds left before it went into overtime.

I was ready to end this now. Carson passed me the ball when two guys instantly flanked me but I psyched them out and quickly leaped ahead, seeing my chance to take the shot. I didn't even hesitate..the thoughts of Em watching me in the crowd calming me and pushing me forward as I lifted my arm and shot the ball towards the net..seconds felt like minutes as the crowd went silent only to erupt into cheers as soon as that ball went straight through just before the buzzer went off. We won... we f*vcking won! The guys all rushed onto the court surrounding me, everyone hugging and cheering but I had only one person on my mind.

I weaved my way through the sweaty bodies and raced into the stands, no one said s**1 because I did this after every game.. took three long strides and I was there. I quickly picked Em up, feeling her wrap her legs around my waist as, I smashed my lips to hers, kissing her deeply and feeling like the luckiest man on earth. Win or lose..I am still the luckiest man on earth.

"You did it baby, I am so proud of you." Emery gushed, her huge smile making my heart swell as I couldn't help but smother her face in kisses.

"McNeal, come on." Coach Phillips called after me, making me pull away reluctantly as I put Em back down on her feet.

"I love you baby." I whispered before kissing her cheek one last time and jogging back down to the court.

I felt all of my friends and family patting me on the back, even Jack hugged me...yeah, I'm pretty sure he was drunk..but I will take it.

We shook hands with the other team and I did a few interviews for the school newspaper and college broadcasting stations. My eyes constantly wandered toward Em as she just looked at me with so much affection..f**k I wanted her bad.

The days I win are some of the best damn days of my life..hell. even the days I lose are the best damn days, because she tries to cheer me up even more. But we hardly lose, so that has only happened once.

I know for a fact that Emery will f*vck my brains out tonight wearing that very jersey. and it is the hottest thing ever especially when I get her on all fours and have a great view of that perfect round a*s and the name "Mrs. McNeal" on her back. It's like a damn dream come true..

"Mr. McNeal." A deep voice said, pulling me from my inappropriate thoughts. I turned to see two men in checkered suits and knew right away these were the recruiters.

"I am Josh Daniels and this is Kevin Parker, we are the representatives for the Los Angeles Lakers." The man informed me before shaking my hand.

"Thanks for coming." I said cooly and glanced toward Em who looked nervous as hell, which made me want to chuckle. She looks so f*vcking cute when she is nervous.

"We wanted to have a word with you, we think we have an offer you might like to hear." The man said with a smile, making me nod my head as we quickly set up a meeting. they want to fly me out to California. They want me to meet with the recruiting team and even the coach of the Lakers..this is it.this is what I have been waiting for since I was fvcking eight years old.

"I will be bringing my wife as well." I quickly informed them, making the two guys glance between each other.

"Of course, that shouldn't be an issue." The man named Kevin stated as I nodded my head once. I know I'm in no position to be making demands..but that is a must. I need Emery with me because there is no way in hell I am leaving her home alone. My dream is nothing without her.

"Well, we look forward to meeting with you Mr. McNeal." They concluded before shaking my hand once more and leaving. f*vck, did that seriously just happen?

Before I could even step forward I felt Emery crash into me, her arms wrapping around my waist as she looked up at me lovingly.

"What did they say? They talked to you for so long." She asked me anxiously, and I couldn't help but place my large hands on either side of her face.

"Baby, it looks like were going to California, pack your bikinis." I smirked, making Emery squeal with excitement before jumping up and down as I watched her with so much damn affection.

"I am so proud of you Asher. I can't believe this." She began to cry, making me frown as I looked down at her.

"Why are you crying baby?" I asked softly and began kissing her wet cheeks, wiping away those tears with my lips.

"I don't know." She confessed, making us both laugh as I held her close to my chest.

"You actually did it Asher, you are making your dreams come true." She whispered, making me let out a long deep sigh.is this truly my life? Is this really happening right now?

"All because of you my love." I admitted. it's true. deep down I wanted to be the best I could for her. she is what pushes me..

"Oh yeah, it has nothing to do with all those years of hard work and dedication." She grumbled, making me spank her a*s playfully.

"Okay, no need to be a smart ass. Just be a good girl and say yes Asher, you are right..all of this is because of me and my beautiful a*s." I smirked down at her and watched as she rolled her eyes.

I know for a fact she would never say anything like that because she is too humble to take any accountability..but to be honest Emery has been a huge f*vcking support this year. she has pushed me to train and work even harder. She makes me lunches and snacks and stays up late with me when I do night practices..she comes to every game and even volunteers at some of the fundraisers we have held..she has been our team's biggest support and not just mine but Carson's too.

She is my f*rig rock and I owe a lot to her because without her support and pushing me i would've given it all up for her if she didn't want me to do this I would've stopped. would've given up that dream all for her. but no, she made this her dream too..she made all of this even more possible and now we are doing it..we are f*vcking doing it baby and I can't wait to have you by my side through the whole thing.
