Chereads / Aila's True Love / Chapter 49 - Celebrity Athlete

Chapter 49 - Celebrity Athlete

A month had passed and the new season of the inter-university tournament has opened. The opening ceremonies will be held at another university, their first game will also be held there. It was quite far from their school, that's why Aila's team went to school earlier to prepare for their departure.

Aila was already on board the university bus going to the venue when Yhuan called her.

"Love, you can do this, I wish you had a safe game... I am sorry I can't catch up, I still have to go to work this morning, It is such a shame that the venue is too far."

"It's okay love, I understand, just pray for us. We're going, I'll call you later, I love you".

Aila kept her headphones on to keep her cool and ease her nerves. Almost an hour later, they have arrived at the venue.

As usual, Aila's beauty is eye-catching even at other universities, she had her hair tied up in a high ponytail and she was wearing their school shirt tucked in her high waist denim shorts. It was a simple get up, but with the way she carries her clothes; it is enough for an OOTD shoot. 

Someone approached her, he asked for a picture and autograph, they had a copy of Aila's school magazine. She did not realize it will reach another school, that's why they knew her. Aila was amiable to her fans, Bryan walked closely behind her still stealthily fulfilling his undercover bodyguard duties.

The opening ceremony was lit, the production was surreal and the execution was on point. This is the first time Aila witnessed such an event. She and Bryan were the ones chosen to carry the school's banner, while other teams had their own muses; it was just her for their school. And she was more than enough; she even got more attention than the other girls who were all glammed up as muses.

The time for her first game is a few minutes away, her team started with their warm-ups, the crowd watching them is slowly increasing. Her bodyguards in the background are also slowly doing their part to control the crowd.

Aila was so focused on the game ahead; she sat on the floor and did some routine stretching floor exercises.

"Number 13! Rodriguez!"

All at once a group of spectators shouted.

Aila turned in their direction and they shouted again.

"I love you!"

Aila just laughed, it was her first time to have fans during games.

"Notice us, please!"

They shouted again, and shouted the words "I love you".

Aila felt lucky to have such supportive fans, she smiled from ear to ear as she waved back at them.

Again, they were jumping and shouting with joy because Aila noticed them.

When she finished her floor exercises, she sat on their bench, took off her shoes to fix her ankle support. Bryan approached her and handed her an extra towel and helped her with the bandage and ankle support for her previously injured foot.

"Hey princess, cover your legs, so many men are so happy taking a peek".

"Haha crazy dude, thank you reverend Bryan" Aila joked with him while being thankful that she is being looked out for.

As expected, Aila's team won the game, and she had the best player of the game award, earning 24 pts, 5 rebounds, 12 assists, and 6 steals.

While Aila's group was on their way to leave the gym, her supporters surrounded her.

The boys' team helped to escort Aila's group back to the University bus, she waved back at them and threw in flying kisses to the crowd as a way to thank them for their support.

Back at school, the news of their team's victory spread like wildfire.

Yhuan was waiting patiently to congratulate her, for being the player of the game and their first win of the season.

Aila It immediately saw him and he gave her a tight hug. Yhuan asked her about the game, she was happy to share some stories, but as they were talking, Aila's phone suddenly received new friend requests, messages, and calls. There was this unknown number that has called her a few times already; she decided to answer it thinking it might be important.

"Hello? Who's this?"

"I love you Aila!"

Aila turned off her phone as more and more texts flooded her phone.

When she gazed at Yhuan, his forehead frowned again.

"Looks like my rivals numbers has increased again, why did you give out your number?"

"I didn't give out my number, why would I do that? Don't you trust me?"

 "I trust you, I don't trust them!"

Yhuan explained with a tone of frustration.

"Just now you were insinuating that I gave my number to others, instead of being happy for my achievement today you put your jealousy out there first. You know what? Don't follow me, I actually want to celebrate, I've had enough of your drama."

Aila angrily left Yhuan, she went straight to their team's hang out at the gym.

Her teammates noticed Aila's mood change.

"We've called you, but your phone is off, we have to talk about the next game."

Aila's coach scolded her.

Aila turned on her cell phone and laid it on the table.

He received a series of notifications and calls, so she turned it off again immediately.

Aila put her finger up in the air and was pointing at her teammates who were gathered around her, she was looking for a clue to know who the culprit who gave out her number.

"I think you need a new number"

Their coach laughed and looked guilty.

"Is it you coach? How could you betray me like this?"

"Hey, it was not my intention, the one who asked for your number is the chairman of the tournament because there will be a photo shoot for the tournament, this time all Universities are included"

Aila just slammed her head on the table and her teammates laughed at her.

"If I were just as good as you Aila I would have volunteered for the shoot, I dream of being featured on a magazine like that" April laughed as she stated her piece. 

Kaye replied. "As for me. all I want is to have chest and hips like yours even if I don't get featured in the magazine hahaha."

Aila was conscious and covered her chest with her bag.

"It's just my clothes, it tends to make it look bigger than it actually is!"

Aila used that lame excused to her teammates; in reality, her body proportion is to die for; it is the dream of many women to have one and for men to taste one.
