literally everything I could’ve dreamed about wanting in a girl.
I loved her.
And even though I hadn’t actually told her how I felt to that extent, there was certainly no denying it internally. Even watching her now, as she smiled for the cameras and answered the interviewer’s questions, my heart felt full as hell; fuller than it had ever felt before.
The cameras cut off and the interviewer invited me to the set to join Ava.
“Alright you two, so I’m gonna ask you guys a couple of questions about the boys versus girls rivalry here at Lynstone. Are you ready?” I turned to Ava, giving her a little wink just to fuck with her, before we both agreed to it. The cameraman signaled a countdown from five to one.
“Ava. Miles. The people want to know. Who would win in a girls versus boys matchup?”
Ava laughed, before answering, “We’d give them a run for their money, but I don’t think we have anything to combat their dunks. So the boys would probably win. Unfortunately .” I smiled, shaking my head in agreeance, surprised that she actually admitted the truth.
“What about you two one-on-one? No dunks allowed.”
“Oh that’s different! I’d kick his a... butt .”
The interviewer turned his attention to me and asked, “Miles, is that true?”
“What can I say? The girl is good. You’ve seen her play. She’s an assassin on the court.” Ava blushed at my little compliment probably more than she even realized. And of course, the cameras picked up everything.
“Wait a minute, you guys are sure being friendly about this. Is there something we don’t know about?”
I turned to Ava, giving her a smile and she started giggling as I said, “Ava, is there something the people don’t know about?”
“I don’t think so, Miles. What do you think?” She was playing right along, making the interviewer raise his eyebrow with skepticism.
“Nope. Don’t think so. Next question.”
“So you two aren’t dating?” I looked back at Ava, giving her the eye to take this one. I wasn’t exactly sure how she was gonna answer, but I was down to go along with whatever she came up with.
“Dating is such a relative term. Isn’t it, Miles?”
“Very relative, Ava.”
The interviewer looked between us with a giddy smile before asking the cameraman to cut the shot.
“This interview has my sweet tooth on fire! Who would’ve thought you two were dating?! I mean, how is it even possible that there’s not a blogger or journalist out there covering you two?”
Dude was way too excited, but I had no problem blowing his high.
“That’s because there’s nothing to cover. We aren’t some Lifetime movie or corny romance novel. We’re kickin’ it. And you’re gonna respect that. Got it?” I could see the wheels that had began turning in his head slow down but not completely.
“Absolutely. But we are certainly using the footage that we already have. And you do understand once this is out, people will speculate right?” In the age of social media and instant access to everyone’s life, I was sure people would do more than just speculate. They’d probably have memes of pictures from the interview with #relationshipgoals or some other bullshit.
“People can take it how they want to and we’ll handle that accordingly. But we were just having a little fun. I mean, you can only do so many of these things before you’re forced to make them interesting on your own.” The interviewer shook his head, completely understanding my stance.
“Good answer. Like you’ve been trained. Big bro been giving you some tips?”
I offered him a smile before I replied, “I can’t confirm or deny that. Now are we all done here?”
“Yep. Just let the photographer get a few promo shots and we’ll get you two lovebirds out of here.”
