Chapter 34 I DESERVE TO LOVE AND BE LOVED

• The junior-senior basketball game ends while I'm all eyes on Maddox having butterflies in my stomach. I do not doubt that they will win as I keep my trust in the junior team intact. The whole team is so happy, tapping shoulders to every opponent, showing sportsmanship.
• Maddox comes close to me and kisses me on the forehead; I'm startled. Samantha and Luke have their eyes on us as well. I have never felt embarrassed in my life. I feel like the heat is rushing on my face as I stand frozen next to Maddox. My hands are tightly gripping on his jersey as I don't know what to say or do.
• "Angel, thank you. You have no idea how much your presence helps me."
