NBA ONE SHOTS 2.0

Take a Chance (Tyler Ulis) -Kennedy-

YO YO YO I LOVE TYLER SO MUCH😭 He's such a cutie so I loved writing this for YMkennedy ! Tell me what you think Kennedy. I hope you like it (:

-Kennedy's POV-

Today's my first day rehearsing as a Phoenix Suns dancer. I've been working really hard to achieve this goal, and it feels so great knowing that I've done it.

"Kennedy, straighten your arms a bit more. Make sure you're always smiling!"the choreographer shouted at me.

I nodded, smiling more. I have to pay attention to constructive criticism. That's the only way I'll improve.

At the end of practice, the choreographer said,"Great job ladies. There are a few things we can work on, but that'll get better as the season goes on. Tomorrow is Phoenix's home game. They're playing the Spurs, so they'll be needing all the help they can get when it comes to getting pumped up. You all need to make sure the crowd stays loud."

I smiled. "We got this, right girls?"

The girls nodded and cheered.

I went and got changed before deciding to leave.

As I walked by some people, I heard someone whisper,"There she is! Go Tyler! Just do it."

I turned around, confused. Were they talking about me?

I saw Tyler Ulis, Devin Booker, and Marquese Chriss whispering crazily amongst themselves. What are they doing?

Finally, Marquese pushed Tyler and shouted,"Just ask!"

"What's going on?"I asked.

Tyler nervously laughed. "H-Hi... I'm T-Tyler,"he stuttered.

I laughed a bit. "Yes, I know."

"What's your name?"he slowly asked.

Devin shouted,"Hurry it up a bit! We ain't got all day!"

Tyler looked back at them before nervously smiling at me.

"My name's Kennedy. I'm a cheerleader for y'all,"I laughed.

He replied,"Yeah, I've seen you. You're a good dancer."

"Aw, thank you,"I smiled.

Devin and Marquese came and stood beside Tyler. I looked at them, confused. What're they doing?

"Okay, so basically, my boy Tyler is too scared to talk to you. He said you look like someone who would pay no attention to him,"Marquese explained. Devin added,"He wants to ask you out on a date."

I looked at Tyler and apologized,"I'm sorry if I look mean. I don't mean to do that."

He replied,"No, it's okay."

I continued,"And about the date thing... I really wouldn't mind." Tyler's face lit up. I added,"But I'm really busy."

His face dropped, but he slowly nodded. "I understand. It's okay."

Devin pitched in,"How about after tomorrow's game? I don't think you two would be busy."

I thought for a second before saying,"That's true. I'd love to hang out with you tomorrow."

"Okay, right after the game we'll go out,"Tyler confirmed.

As the three players walked away, I heard Marquese say,"See, Tyler? It wasn't that bad." I laughed before heading out of the arena.

-The Next Evening-

As the girls and I warmed up, Tyler came running to me. I stood up straight and gave him a smile.

He spoke,"Uh, hi Kennedy. I just wanted to make sure we're still on for tonight."

I replied,"Of course! I'll see you after the game."

"Did you get the flowers I sent you? I wasn't sure whether I should send them because it's kinda creepy but-"he rambled.

I cut him off, laughing. "It's okay. It was actually really sweet. Thank you for that."

He gave me a shy smile before starting to walk away. I remembered something and called,"Wait, Tyler!"

He turned around. "Yeah?"

I walked over to him. "Good luck tonight,"I smiled.

"Thanks,"he replied, grinning.

I hesitantly leaned up and kissed him on the lips. I don't know what came over me at that moment for me to do that, but I just felt like it.

I pulled away and saw Tyler's smile widen. "Uh, um.. Th-Thanks,"he stuttered.

I laughed nervously and walked back to where I was warming up.

The game was fun. Although the Suns lost to the Spurs, the game was surprisingly close. The fans stayed loud throughout the game, which doesn't always happen. It was a great time.

After the game, I changed into casual clothes and started trying to find Tyler.

I ran into Devin in a hallway. He stopped me and said,"Aye Kennedy, Tyler was really happy during the game tonight. It wouldn't happen to be because of you, would it?"

I blushed and looked down. "Um, I- I don't... I don't know,"I stammered, rubbing my arm.

He chuckled. "I see, I see. Well Tyler's in that room over there. You can go in."

I looked up and followed his finger to a door. "Okay, thank you,"I quietly said before walking away.

"Have fun tonight, but not too much fun!"I heard Devin shout.

I laughed and knocked on the door. "Come in!"I heard Tyler say.

I turned the doorknob and walked in. Tyler and Marquese were sitting on a couch, talking and laughing. They stopped when they saw me.

Tyler sprang to his feet and said to Marquese,"Aye, I'll call you later."

"Ight bro, be safe,"Marquese replied. Then he turned to me and said,"Make sure to kiss Tyler again. The first time made him really happy."

I blushed once again, looking down. Tyler held his middle finger up to Marquese before taking my hand and walking out the door.

We had a cute little dinner date where we got to know each other. Tyler made me laugh so much throughout the night.

It is very safe to say that we went on a lot of dates after that night. He just captured my heart in a way no one else could.
