“want a sprite cranberry?”

summary: as a nba research and development worker assigned to the minnesota timberwolves, you began to naturally get close with the players. some coming in frequently to get an update on their stats, some coming in few and far between just to look at their chart. however, one player stood out. anthony edwards. one day, you and your friends decide to get together to celebrate the holiday season and you drunkenly dm anthony. where will this go?

—————-————————————————————

you were a nba research and development worker for the minnesota timberwolves. you’ve met every single player, yet one has always stood out to you. anthony edwards was in your office at your desk nearly every day. he came in with no intention of asking a dumb question to hide the real reason he was in your office. anthony was always very bold. he’d come in with “just checkin’ in on you” or “how are my stats lookin’?” he’d always make jokes when shown his chart about how his “must be rigged” because somehow mcdaniels always had the “prettier” chart. anthony even came in on his non training days to come check in. hr had begun to suspect something. while it was clear that you had a thing for anthony as much as you tried to be professional and push it down, it wasn’t clear if he had a feel for you.

——————————————————————————

a few of your friends decided it would be fun if you guys decided to gather for the holiday season. of course, it would be no true gathering if there was no alcohol, food, and hot gossip. you and the girls had dancing on the stars on until an ad came on. the ad depicted anthony edwards taking over lebron’s role of advertising sprite cranberry during the holidays and asking the viewer “want a sprite cranberry?” you stupidly had to open your mouth.

“fuckkkk, why does he always have to look so sexy. i don’t want no sprite cranberry, i want him to take these drawls off!” you groaned, yearning for him.

that was the moment you decided to text him. you picked up your phone and began typing.

“anthony, ion want no sprite cranberry. what i want is for you to come take these drawls off”

sent. not a wave of regret swam through your body. you soon shut off your phone and continued your night.

——————————————————————————

when you woke up the next morning hungover and still slightly drunk, your first instinct was to check your phone. this wasn’t a morning habit feeling, but something coming from the bottom of your gut.

“holy shit.”

the scream you let out rung throughout your apartment. the horror in your soul took over your whole body as you read the texts you drunkenly sent anthony last night and his reply. he responded with “damn ma. you know we can’t be doing ts on the regular. i fuck wit the boldness tho, keep ttm like dat.”

keep talking to him like that? we can’t on the regular? does he wanna fuck? as sexy as anthony was, is he worth your job?

——————————————————————————

when you returned to work, anthony was so much more caring. he came into your office with food from your fave local spot, nonchalantly playing with your braids, giving you his hoodies that you wore disguised as team merch that had his scent all over it, tugging at the drawstrings of your hoodie, ect. he loved whenever it was time for his weekly stat breakdown and he had an excuse to be all close with you. it began to get suspicious to your coworkers when he came into and mistakenly rubbed your back in front of everyone.

——————————————————————————

you walked into your office the following morning, your coworkers began stare awkwardly and you were quickly called into your bosses office.

“y/n. we must discuss your relationship with anthony.” your boss muttered

holy shit. clearly people had taken a notice to your odd relationship with anthony.

“what relationship?” you lied through your teeth.

“well you know that a relationship between our players and stars and our employees in general is strictly forbidden. you and anthony have recently been displaying behavior of an inappropriate workplace relationship”

“okay well there’s nothing going on there.” for some reason, the second you muttered that you wanted to cry. you knew there was something there. the butterflies when he hugged you or played with your hair or gripped your hand extra tight when crossing the street so he knew you got to your car safe before he went back to training.

“as much as i want to believe you, i will have to keep my eyes on the both of you. this is a warning”

a/n - thank you so much for reading! this short blurb mayyy lead to a series so stay tuned!

hi. fuck ice. here is how you can help families affected by unlawful deportation

edit: and FUCK LAPD. here is how you can help bail out protestors who are in the trenches, facing mass arrests and putting their bodies on the line.

6.9.25. police are about to start making arrests in DTLA (again)(outside the metro detention center on alameda). crowds have been gathering for five days near federal buildings protesting while being antagonized by pigs, tear gassed, struck with rubber bullets, and ultimately arrested. every boost helps.

1-900-BAD-TAKES (ep. 1)

warning : flirty ant, a little bit of suggestiveness, cocky!ant, drinking. || 628 words

——————————————————————————

it was a regular day in the studio. today, your episode was a panic rant about your one of your favorite teams; the minnesota timberwolves. you’re reviewing game footage, and rudy gobert just completely slammed a lob from anthony off of the rim.

“how genuinely mid do you have to slam a gorgeous lob from anthony “hit me up right now please” edwards?”

you were well known in the girly nba space as “the girl in love with anthony edwards.” you didn’t mind it though. you were well loved, even getting sent nba related items and getting featured by big name brands like espn, peacock, and the association itself. you often got clipped and went viral across basketball tiktok and instagram, most of it ranting about your disdain for certain players.

“speaking of gorgeous.. look at that sexy piece of chocolate. i can’t help but speak my mind when i see that man!”

you continued to rant about the attractiveness of edwards and finished the episode thinking little of it.——————————————————————————at around 8pm, you and your girls decided you’d roam the streets of manhattan. it was your favorite pastime for a friday night. you wore a lacey red skin tight top, a black oversized leather bomber jacket, baggy jeans, and shark boots. considering the few layers and it was late november in the north, you were freezing. the timberwolves had just beat the knicks a few hours earlier. you and your girls chose to hit up your favorite bar to get the night started. obviously, you chose a beer. as you plucked one of your strands of curly hair out of your mouth, you looked up to see an oddly positioned figure. he was surrounded by men, all of them 6’4 or taller. you blink just to realize the two men were donte divincenzo and the anthony edwards——————————————————————————“holy shit.”

you nearly spat out the gulp of beer you happened to contain in your mouth. it’s anthony edwards, the one you happened to be down bad for on your podcast for the whole world to see. you continued to glance between your now empty glass of beer, a recently filled glass, and the man. suddenly he began to walk over, and you were practically shitting your pants.

“ain’t you the girl that’s obsessed wit’ me?”

ant was confident, everyone knew that. his cockiness radiated off of him even when he came up to you. that energy that came off of him was enough to make you confident.

“no, i’m the president. yes, that’s me.”

you tried to be funny or sarcastic, you don’t really know which one. too nervous to be funny, too excited to be sarcastic. as wet and cocky as you were, you’re still a girl after all.

“damn, never thought i’d meetcha. you tryna say everything to ma face?”

no. fucking. way. is he flirting? you don’t know, he’s smiling, but maybe it’s just a joke.

“uhh, you’re sexy?”

you were clearly not in right mind, ‘cause why the hell did you call him sexy to his face?

“ight, lemme get your insta. ‘n im not talkin’ ‘bout your podcast, i want your real insta.”

no. fucking. way. he wanted your real instagram. not your promotional instagram, not your podcast instagram, not your fake “real” instagram, not your fake “spam”, your real instagram where you were your truest self.

“uhh okay!”

and in a blink of an eye: you’d downed three beers, an olive martini, and a shot. you were heading into a large black rolls royce with anthony and some other timberwolves players your friends had taken an interest in. throughout the ride, you’d make small talk with anthony about just anything. he had one hand on the wheel and the other resting on your lap as you and your friends headed to a club of sorts.

sorry for the abrupt ending, lovelies! i love you all and pt 2 is coming soon!
