Cheering Him On

Jamaal raced down the length of the floor, blocking the shot of the guard who thought he had an uncontested layup, and then tossing it back towards the other end, where the star of the team dunked it resoundingly.

Off to the side, Rin Tanaka was cheering the team on, but especially cheering on Jamaal. She could barely take her eyes off him on the court, but shook her head to clear it at every break to do the dances.

Afterwards, Jamaal got his gear and got ready to go home. He wasn't thinking, taking a wrong turn away from the exit. He bumped into Rin.

"Oh ... Jamaal. You were amazing tonight!" She gushed, enthused.

"Yeah, thanks. You were looking good during the breaks too," he said.

"Really? You noticed me?" she said, eyes widening a little.

"Of course. We went through something together," he said. He looked at her tight little Japanese body. Then he swallowed hard.

"Well, just remember," Rin said, leaning in to kiss him softly on the lips. "You're still my hero."
