Ours, Chapter 10
Holy shit. Nic stared wide-eyed at the scoreboard. Did they just win the game? Did he just win the game? Nic didn’t have long to figure it out before the rest of his team ran in, slamming him from all sides as they jumped and hollered.
“Oh my god babe, you did it!” Amy ran towards him as he approached the sideline, planting a big kiss on his lips. “That was amazing!”
“That was pretty great,” Nic said as he ended his liplock with Amy and looked over her shoulder, seeing Derek, Tricia, Cory, and Stephanie on the other side of a barrier.
“Guys!” Nic walked towards them with Amy in tow. “Did you see-?”
“Yeah man, of course we saw!” Derek practically shouted back, half-laughing at Nic’s stupor. “You won the damn game man!”
“It was awesome, Nic.” Tricia added.
“We’re headed to my place to get set up for the party,” Derek was having to yell louder over the noise of the crowd. “See you there?”
“Yeah man, we’ll be there,” Nic waved them off, letting them get out before the crowd became too overwhelming. As he turned, he saw his family waiting for him as well, and he turned to Amy. “Wanna ride there together?”
“Of course!” Amy smiled. “Go talk to your parents. I’ll meet you outside the locker room later.”
Nic walked over, barely able to hear anything his dad was trying to tell him as he approached. It was at that moment that Nic’s teammates decided to grab him and hoist him in the air as they walked back to the locker room. He waved and half-shrugged at his family - he’d just have to talk to them later. This was going to be a fun night.
