How Deep Is Your Love?

CH.6

YN POV

Rife's family and I are currently on the road to go move him in at school. This trip has been crazy long cause Rife and Omar been going back and forth since we left 30 minutes ago. I attempted to close my eyes and nap, but of course they only got louder. " What you mean bro?!" Omar shouts from the back of the truck. " I will really body you in tennis!" Te'a calmly says. " I'm really like that in tennis, better ask your brother." Omar snickers. " What you mean ask me? I beat you every time" Rife yells back. I have no idea why everything is a competition with them. Like LITERALLY everything is a competition. I sent a Tiktok to the group chat and they had a race to see who could watch the video and respond to me first, which made no sense since I'm literally in the middle of the two. " Can y'all please be normal for once?" I questioned. " We only been on the road for 30 minutes and still have another hour and 21 minutes left." The car goes silent while the sound of Lil Baby came through the speaker, but that silence ended fast. " I beat I can go to sleep before you do!" Rife shouts as a closes his eyes. This is going to be the longest car ride of my life.

We arrive at AU and get Rife all signed in and head to his building to unload his things. While walking around campus,  we were stopped by people left and right who wanted to take pictures with Rife or Te'A. Once we made it to Rife's building , we find his room and unpack. I must say, for an athlete, Rife is very organized and clean. His closet is organized by brand, color, season, all that good stuff. Anyways, the family  and I are getting ready to head back to Georgia when Momma K says " Rife! Do you  want me to stay? You know... Just in case you miss mommy." "I'm fine Ma, I love you" he says as he hugs and kisses her. We pack up extra items, take them back to the vehicles and said our goodbyes and got back on the road. It's crazy that we're adults now.

A Few Weeks Later

Rife's POV

5:30 AM

I make my way to the gym to get a few shots up and a small workout in before "practice". We're not in season just yet, but ain't nothing wrong with perfecting my craft. The past 2.5 weeks have been different for me. I'm used to seeing my family every day, being with YN every few days, and being with the gang. Anyways I get to the gym to see Al and a few other guys putting in some early work. I sit done and get my shoes laced up and start off with a light stretch. I did a little cardio and then got to working on my ball handling. Once I finished my drills, I started working on my shot accuracy. I'm pretty decent if you ask me.

Anyways, after practice, I went home and showered. I got me a little something to eat for breakfast and went to sit on the couch when I received a facetime call.

Facetime Call

Rife: What's up babygirl?

YN: Nothing much, just got home from workouts

Rife: And how was that?

YN: Honestly, I was good until he had us running long distance 

Rife: (laughing) You talked all that mess about being indestructible now look at you... out of breath.

YN: Shut up (squints eyes) Anyways how was your lil unofficial practice?

Rife: It was straight, definitely improving (shrugs)

YN: Well, are you still helping me move in to school and staying a bit?

Rife: Am I a twin?

YN: (rolls eyes) I mean the sass isn't needed but thank you

Rife: Yeah yeah, I'm bout to nap baby, let me know when y'all get on the road and I'll meet you t school

YN: Okay, I love you

Rife: I love you too

End Call
