Shorty blew us all away. From her half court shot to her spins on the floor. She had everything we were looking for. She was just dazzling. In every way shape and form.
"Welcome to the team of the World Famous Harlem Globetrotters." Big Easy announces. I sprinted across the court and picked her up in my arms and spun her around.
She laughed and when I put her down I saw tears in her eyes. "I can't believe I made it." She says as she flops on the floor.
Too Tall who was the second one over gives her a huge hug. "Welcome aboard sis." Right then all her nerves seemed to come back to her. She freezes again. Too Tall pulls away. "You okay?" He asks her holding her at arms length. Searching her face.
Suddenly she starts to go limp. Too Tall thinks fast and picks her up. Then she goes completely limp. "Lindsey?" He asks her shaking her. He sets her down on the bleachers. "Hacksaw, go get peramedics."
I stopped Hacksaw. "Too Tall you best do it yourself. He hesitates like he doesn't understand. "I'll explain later." Without further questioning Too Tall took off.
After a little bit the peramedics show up. We're asked to step back and we do. Sweet J returns from the locker room holding what looks like a Globetrotter jersey. "I think this explains everything. " she says as we all surrond her. She holds up the Jersey for us to see. "Its Shorty's" it clearly read. Too Tall 7 on the back. We all look at Jonté. He just stood there in awe. "To make it better look." She pulls out a composition book. She opens it 3 or 4 pages and there's a picture of Too Tall. Then underneath theres a bunch a facts about him. Again we all look at him and now he looks embarrassed.
Then soon after she starts to roll around. "Shorty sweety can you hear me?" I ask her without thinking about the word choice I used.
"Uhm yeah." She says blinking her eyes rapidly. "What happened?" She asks as she sits up.
"Well, you made the team and then you kinda fainted." I purposely leave out the details that she was in Too Tall's arms.
She glances around searching the faces. When she sees Too Tall a smile plays along her lips. She stands up and mindlessly walks over to him. This time she seemed clam. I didn't know if I should be nervous but watching her walk over to him instead of staying here made me a little jealous and I don't know why.
