October 31st, Los Angeles.
As the capital of entertainment, Los Angeles may be home to the most beautiful women and handsome men in the world. Countless attractive men and women come to the city with dreams, giving it their all, hoping for a chance to become famous. However, the cruel reality is that only a few lucky individuals can achieve fame and fortune, while the majority will leave after squandering their precious youth.
Ayesha has been agonizing lately about whether or not to leave the city.
She has been in Hollywood for several years but has only had minor roles, with just a few lines in various TV dramas and films. She is busy every day but doesn't have the chance to make it big.
Ayesha never intended to leave Hollywood. She came to Los Angeles after graduating from high school and thought she would stay until she became famous or would have to return home.
But who introduced her to a good boyfriend?
Although Liam is still on his rookie contract, he is already a hot star in the league. He was selected as a starter for the All-Star Game in his rookie season, and this season is likely to go even better. Once his contract ends, he will definitely sign a major deal with the Warriors.
People are like this—if there's an exit, the mind won't be steady, and Ayesha is no exception to that.
Liam and Ayesha are both just in their early 20s, but Liam has already revealed that he wants to marry her, which is also common among NBA players.
Many NBA players marry and have children shortly after entering the league, and some even become fathers before the draft. Only a handful, like Howard, wait.
So Ayesha found herself in a dilemma. She could either stay in Hollywood, continue her beloved acting career, playing pranks on the team, silently waiting for the opportunity to succeed, or she could marry Liam, move to Colombia, and live a good life from there on out.
In fact, this isn't a difficult choice. Liam is young, golden, and very dedicated to her. Ayesha is very satisfied with him. But Ayesha has a strong personality; she can't accept becoming a housewife at such a young age and still wants to have her own career.
This created a bit of a contradiction between her and Liam. The two have been in love for three years, but Liam believes that it's been long enough. They love each other deeply, and both sets of parents are very satisfied with the relationship. It's time to get married, but Ayesha is still tangled up in indecision. Every time the topic comes up, she becomes upset, and this led to many small arguments, although in the end, Liam always concedes.
Today, Ayesha once again found herself in a happy dilemma. There's a game between the Lakers and the Warriors tonight. The entire Warriors team flew to Los Angeles yesterday, and Liam gave the team half the day off. She and Liam had planned to go shopping together today, but it's likely that Liam would bring up marriage again, which really bothered Ayesha.
In the end, her love for her boyfriend won out. Ayesha woke up early, put on her makeup, went to the hotel where the Warriors were staying, met Liam, and then went to downtown Los Angeles to hang out.
Ayesha is familiar with the area, but Liam doesn't come here much. He has a lot of games to play each year, needs to train during the summer, and spends his precious vacation time at the beach or returning to Charlotte to spend time with his parents. Most of the time, Ayesha goes to Colombia to visit him, not the other way around.
Fortunately, last season, the Warriors had to play against the Lakers and Clippers twice on the road. Otherwise, Liam would not have had the chance to come to Los Angeles at all.
Although the two have been together for three years, they still maintain a very magical love. During their shopping spree, they were inseparable, holding hands the whole time, whispering sweet words, and acting very intimately.
Of course, both Liam and Ayesha are devout Christians. Although they've done almost everything a couple should, they've not crossed that boundary yet.
At this point, Liam is undoubtedly a role model for their generation. He has managed to pull back many times before going too far. This makes Ayesha feel very at ease with Liam, but she can't help but get distracted when she sees the wildflowers and weeds around them.
The morning was spent enjoying each other's company. Since there was still a game later, both were careful with their time. They watched a movie, had lunch, and sat in a cafe for a while. Liam didn't drink too much or eat too much food. He was just focused on admiring Ayesha's face the whole time.
But their time together was both happy and short. Ayesha sent Liam back to the hotel, and Liam held her hand like a little kid, unwilling to let go. His eyes were full of reluctance:
"Ayesha, talk to me again. It's not even noon yet."
"You still have practice in the afternoon and need to rest at noon. I can't delay your lunch break," Ayesha said with a laugh.
"It's fine. I went to bed early last night and have plenty of energy. It's okay if I don't rest at noon," Liam quickly explained.
"No, you have a game tonight. I can't keep you too long," Ayesha shook her head firmly.
She loves Liam, but she knows what needs to be done. For Liam, the game comes first.
"Okay..." Liam sighed in disappointment.
Just when Ayesha had a bad feeling in her heart, Liam spoke cautiously:
"Or... should we get married? Then we can be together all the time. I don't know, every time I video chat with you after a game, my teammates tease me. It's embarrassing..."
Ayesha's expression darkened slightly, but she thought that Liam had a game to play tonight and didn't want to make him upset. She forced herself to suppress the unhappiness in her heart and gently pushed Liam away:
"Stephen, go rest first and get ready for tonight's game. The Lakers are a tough opponent, and we'll talk about this later."
Liam noticed the change in Ayesha's expression, and after three years of getting along so well, plus the hour-long video calls every day, he was very aware of Ayesha's habits and immediately noticed her displeasure.
He suddenly took a deep breath, looked into Ayesha's eyes, and said slowly:
"Ayesha, I know you have your own dreams, and I know you don't want to live the life of a housewife so soon, but I really want to live with you. I want to spend every day and night together. I want to be by your side to laugh when you're happy, comfort you when you're sad, take care of you when you're sick. Sometimes, I can't sleep when I think about it. I want to sleep beside you, so that when I open my eyes, I can see you..."
"Every time we do a video call, I imagine it's you lying next to me. I don't turn on the lights, so I can't see his face clearly, but I still keep thinking it's you..."
"Goosebumps, goosebumps, goosebumps..." Ayesha couldn't help but laugh out loud at Liam's words.
Liam's eyes lit up, and he quickly said:
"And you can do whatever you want in San Francisco. You don't have to be a housewife after we get married. I support you continuing with your acting career. We can have kids when you want. I'm in no rush..."
Ayesha stared at Liam in silence, listening to him incoherently talk about the good life they'd have after marriage. His hands kept gesturing, his eyes full of longing as he carefully watched her to make sure she wasn't upset. He then continued:
"...Well, I think it would be good to have a few more kids, so they won't be lonely and can grow up together. Of course, this will definitely be hard on you, so the final decision is up to you. If you want kids, we'll have them, but really... I just want a few..."
In the end, Liam gradually ran out of words, and could only "bear the pain" of saying his conclusion. He really likes children and hopes to have several and play with them.
Because he was relatively thin when he was young, Liam didn't stand out among his peers and always wanted to be the "king kid," but he never got the chance. This dream could only come true after marriage.
However, growing up with his mother made Liam deeply aware of how difficult it is to be the wife of an NBA player. Dale had to play many away games each season, and his career took him to many teams. Sonya had to raise her three sons alone in Charlotte, which was very hard.
Liam wants kids, but he doesn't want Ayesha to be alone in the family. So he gave her all the options, thinking it showed his sense of responsibility as a man.
"By the way, don't worry. I'll never waste time outside, I won't even go to nightclubs. I'll go home after games and training. After games, I'll come back to the hotel to record with you. I'll definitely not go to those shady places with them..." Liam suddenly remembered something and quickly promised.
"Hmph, I don't think you dare!" Ayesha wrinkled her nose and said angrily, rolling her eyes at Liam.
"Of course, I wouldn't dare. No, no, I don't want to..." Liam smiled, looked at Ayesha carefully, and asked: "So... are you okay with this?"
Ayesha stared at Liam's sweatshirt logo for a long time, then looked into his eyes and sighed lightly:
"Hey... Stephen, can you give me a little more time? I'm still a little hesitant. If I'm not famous within six months, then we'll get married. Is that okay?"
Liam was stunned for a moment, not expecting Ayesha to answer like that. Then he nodded repeatedly:
"Okay, okay! Six months is fine, and if six months isn't enough, then one year is fine!"
Ayesha looked at him, "Then change it to one year?"
Liam's excited expression immediately fell:
"Huh? I just said that casually, it's still six months..."
"Okay, get ready for the game, beat the Lakers, I promise!" Ayesha smiled playfully, waved at Liam, and quickly escaped.
"Don't worry, I'll win tonight!" Liam watched Ayesha from a distance as she left the hotel door.
He stared at the door for a moment, then turned around and walked toward the elevator, clenching his right hand tightly and whispering to himself:
"Alright, fight hard, you must win today!"
